Renn and his team are now located in the middle of this mountain road. Whether they are returning to the "Golden Post" or continuing towards the "City of Glory", the distance is almost the same.
The beautiful countess had no intention of canceling the trip and returning, so the procession continued on its way.
Fortunately, last night's beast wave caused most of the members of the "Mountain Deer Group" to lose their lives, but except for two seriously injured people, almost all of them were able to walk without any problems.
... .
Breakfast was a sumptuous barbecue, with bear meat and magic wolf meat roasted full of several large iron racks.
Everyone started a new day with their faces full of oil.
The unconscious savage girl was tied and hung on the spider motorcycle, dangling like a bait hooked on a fishing line.
Ren heard from Uncle Sam that the barbarians in the "Forest of Ashes" were very hostile to humans, and a slight mistake could be fatal. Trapping them was the best option.
After hearing this statement, Renn felt that it was reasonable. It would be strange for people to have a good attitude towards the invaders.
The team walked on the rugged mountain road, and the messy footprints of monsters could be seen along the way. Last night's "tide of beasts" left a mess in the forest that looked like a flash flood.
Wren and Uncle Sam followed the Spider Mechanical Car so that they could immediately protect the Countess in the car.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ren always felt that Sam looked at him a little strangely early in the morning.
No, Sam, who spoke little, actually took the initiative to come over and strike up a conversation.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he naturally asked about last night's battle, and exaggeratedly praised: "Oh... Doctor Lane, you are amazing! You actually mastered the 'Iron Mountain Back' to the first level in two days. Yes. Your martial arts talent is really amazing..."
"I'm not as powerful as my uncle said..."
After hearing this, Ren was humble and responded to the remarks he had prepared long ago: "The situation was critical last night. I don't know why, but I suddenly felt enlightened and hit that point. It was purely a coincidence. . . ”
There's nothing wrong with that.
If Sam hadn't been paying attention to the entire battlefield, he would have believed it.
People may indeed perform beyond their capabilities under stress. But in the situation last night, he saw Renn not panicking the whole time. That calm look of coping with ease, do you think it's a stress reaction
"Haha, it's pretty awesome anyway..."
There was an exaggerated smile on Sam's face. He didn't pay much attention to it and made a few more useless polite words.
Listening to this, Ren always felt that there was something strange about this uncle.
At this time, Sam seemed to suddenly remember something, looked at Renn and said: "Dr. Renn, didn't you ask me before if there was anyone who could take into account the advantages of the two branches of the fighter sequence [Qigong Master] and [Martial Arts Master]? Is it possible?"
Ren was a little confused when he heard this. He didn't know what he was doing all of a sudden. He said doubtfully: "Yes. Didn't you say you can't?"
"hey-hey... "
Uncle Sam scratched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment: "The 'impossible' I mentioned before is for ordinary people. But if you are a martial arts genius, it is actually possible."
"ha?"
Renn vaguely felt that what he said seemed to mean something.
Could it be that the martial arts genius he was talking about was himself
There is no genius... It's just the dream of "Intelligent Brain" that gave him more time to practice hard.
Sure enough, Uncle Sam explained: "Actually, the biggest essential difference between the two sequences of [Qigong Master] and [Martial Arts Master] lies in the amount of muscles and fighting spirit."
After a pause, he continued: "But if there is a transcendent of the [Qigong Master] sequence, who can train his muscle strength to be stronger than that of the [Fighter] sequence, reaching about 1.5 times or more. He can do both at the same time. Explosion, skill, and long-lasting advantages in many aspects... "
"Ah, how is this possible?"
The more Ren heard, the more confused he became.
It's not that he hasn't imagined this possibility, but it's actually impossible.
He asked again: "Didn't you say before that [Qigong Master] potions do not focus on absolute muscle strength growth? No matter how exaggerated the awakened power is, it will never be stronger than [Fighter] potions of the same quality. Not to mention 1.5 times the level.”
"Yes, I said that."
Uncle Sam paused for a moment, let it slip mysteriously, and then said: "But I also said, the magic potion is just the beginning."
Ren thought of something and guessed: "You mean... are there other ways?"
"Um."
Sam nodded, rolled his eyes, and said: "In addition to magic potions that can increase human body attributes, extraordinary people can also increase their strength through practice. For example... some kind of secret method of body refining."
"The secret method of body refining?"
Ren has heard about it, but has never been exposed to it.
Secret arts and other techniques, like high-quality potion formulas, are generally in the hands of top nobles and top extraordinary beings.
At the time of the "Weasel Group", I heard that the leader of the group, Quinn, had practiced a secret method to increase agility. This made him look like a ghost and his body could explode at a speed far exceeding that of the same level.
At this point, he suddenly understood. He stared at Sam in surprise and asked, "Uncle... you don't mean to say that you know the secret method of body training to increase strength, right?"
"Actually... my family has passed down a secret method of body refining."
Sam probably felt guilty because he was making up the story, and his expression was a little weird: "The reason why I was able to resist the third-level explosive bear last night was actually because of that secret method."
As he said this, he added in his mind: That's weird.
Anyway, he felt that there was nothing wrong with Ren's current state, and he was justified no matter how much he boasted.
"Oh, that's it"
This statement really seemed reasonable to Ren.
If it weren't for some secret technique, how could Sam, as a third-level [Demon Hunter], be able to compete with the "Exploding Demonic Bear" known as a strength expert and win.
However, this kind of secret method is generally a secret that is not taught. Even if someone practices it, it will not be mentioned to outsiders.
Renn guessed: Now that this uncle is talking about it, is it because he thinks he is a so-called "martial arts genius" and has the intention of accepting a disciple
He looked at Sam, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "Uncle Sam, are you..."
Sam smiled slightly and said the words he expected, "Last night I saw that you are extremely talented in martial arts, so I thought of teaching you this secret technique."
Ren swallowed his saliva, feeling as if he had been hit in the head by a gold brick: "Ah"
Sam changed the topic and explained: "I didn't tell you before because my secret method is 'very difficult' to practice. It's impossible for ordinary people to get started, and even those who are not extremely talented in martial arts will have no use in learning it. "
Ren suddenly felt something strange. Uncle Sam was bragging.
Since this uncle knows this secret technique passed down from his family, does that mean that he himself is actually a "person with excellent talent"
Uncle Sam felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by this look. He also understood the teasing meaning and said truthfully: "Don't look at me like this... My martial arts talent is just mediocre."
"..."
Ren rolled his eyes and said quietly: "Uncle Sam, I think you may have some misunderstanding of the word 'mediocre'..."
I used to say that your martial arts skills were mediocre, but in the end, you single-killed the third-level Explosive Tube without any damage.
Now you say "the talent is mediocre"
I believe you, you damn old man is very bad...
