After the new disciples Bai Yunfei joined, there are now five direct disciples in Xifeng: senior brother Song Lin, second senior brother Xiao Nanren, third senior brother Lingyan, fourth senior brother Bai Yunfei (temporarily), and fifth senior brother Tian Yuhang (although he is young, But according to the rules within the sect, they are still senior brothers).
Among the three senior brothers, the one Bai Yunfei is most familiar with is naturally his senior brother Song Lin. Xiao Nanren had contact with him during the entrance test, but these three senior brothers Lingyan only met once at the original 'group meeting'. Bai Yunfei was busy practicing and never had any contact with him.
Si Xingqing respectfully called "Third Senior Brother", Ling Yan nodded slightly, and then said to Bai Yunfei: "Junior Brother Bai, it will be January in three days. I thought I would not see you again until then, no. Thinking of you being 'out of seclusion' today, how are you doing, how are you practicing the "Inflammation Control Technique"?"
Bai Yunfei said: "Thank you, Senior Brother Lingyan, for your concern. The cultivation is going well."
"That's good." Ling Yan nodded, "Junior Brother Bai's performance just now was really unexpected. I didn't expect you to have such strength. From this point of view, in the fight with that kid Feinian, you were able to stay. You're so strong... Moreover, even in this scene just now, you didn't use your full strength, right?"
Hearing what he said, he had seen all the battle just now. Bai Yunfei smiled slightly and said modestly: "Senior Brother Lingyan, it's just a fluke. I would also like to thank you for giving me this opportunity and not stopping it in advance."
Ling Yan smiled and said: "I came here later, and I was hesitating whether to stop it. Unexpectedly, Junior Brother Bai ended the battle... Due to Junior Brother Bai's entry status, it is normal for all Junior Brothers to have some thoughts. Junior Brother Bai, just understand. , you did a good job just now and did not disappoint me. I think you can barely suppress them. As long as Junior Brother Bai succeeds in refining weapons, no one will gossip anymore. "
"Well, don't worry, senior brother. I will do my best not to disappoint Master and all the senior brothers." Bai Yunfei smiled, then hesitated and asked, "Senior Brother Lingyan, I have a question for you. Can answer.”
"Oh? What's the problem? Tell me."
"During the battle just now, when Junior Brother Chen's 'Rock-cutting Sword' attacked me..."
"Oh, are you talking about his last move? That is the rock-cutting sword's skill 'Earth and Stone Binding', which can temporarily restrain the enemy's movements by surprise."
Bai Yunfei was stunned: "'Instrument Skill'?"
Ling Yan asked in confusion: "What? Junior Brother Bai doesn't even know the 'weapon skills'?"
Bai Yunfei said awkwardly: "Uh, this... I really haven't heard of it."
Ling Yan chuckled and explained: "Due to the refining materials, Horcruxes often have one or more elemental attributes. Especially the higher the grade of the Horcrux, the more obvious it is. For example, Junior Brother Chen's 'Slash' The main materials of the "Rock Sword" are top-grade earth-based concentrates and elemental stones. The great sword itself contains extremely huge earth-based energy. And the soul master can stimulate the elemental energy contained in it through the use of soul weapons. , using the soul weapon as a medium, using the elemental power of this attribute to issue moves that cannot be used by itself. Such moves that require the soul weapon to be used are called 'horcrux derived skills', that is, 'tool skills'. You can also understand it as another type of soul skill."
Waving his hand and taking out a long sword with flashing green light, Ling Yan continued: "For example, this is a wind-attributed earth-level soul weapon. I have not practiced wind elemental power, but I can use it to launch wind blade attacks. This is It's the simplest 'weapon skill'." After saying that, he slashed out twice, and two wind blades flew out from the long sword and dissipated in the air.
"Weapon skills can be strong or weak, simple or complex, depending on the grade of the soul weapon, the strength of the user, and most importantly, the familiarity with the soul weapon, that is, 'fitness'. The degree of fit is not unique to my weapon refining sect disciples. Yes, but unless there are special circumstances, almost no outside soul master can increase the compatibility to more than 50% (50%) and become an exclusive soul weapon. Therefore, when it comes to the use of weapon skills, the best in the soul master world is not me. The disciples of the sect are among the best.”
"'Equipment Skill'..." After hearing Lingyan's explanation, Bai Yunfei's face was calm, but his heart was extremely shocked, "This... is so similar to 'Equipment Effect'!!"
…
Returning to the dormitory area, bidding farewell to Lingyan and Si Xingyi, Bai Yunfei returned to the room alone.
After learning about the existence of 'instrument skills', Bai Yunfei was surprised for a long time, and even thought that 'instrument skills' were 'equipment effects'. However, after calming down and thinking carefully, he roughly understood the difference between the two.
To put it simply, one is 'active' and the other is 'automatic'.
Weapon skills allow the user to activate the Yuan Power within the soul weapon to use the Yuan Power energy beyond the one he has cultivated, and then control these energies to reach the level of 'skill' - which can also be understood as a soul weapon. Skills, soul skills that require this soul weapon to be used.
The equipment effect can also be said to be an equipment skill, but it is an equipment skill that can be 'automatically generated' by the equipment only by 'triggering' it.
To give a simple example, Bai Yunfei's 'Crescent Moon Double Swords' are also wind-attributed Horcruxes. If you actively stimulate the wind energy within them and control their condensation and formation, you can also independently emit wind blades. When its When the additional effect is triggered, the wind blade can be launched instantly without actively condensing the wind energy.
Automatic and instantaneous, this is where the equipment effect is more powerful than the weapon skills, and the most important thing is - power.
Of course, not all equipment effects can be explained by the principles of equipment skills, such as deceleration, dizziness, flying, etc., as well as the 'phantom clone' effect of the fire tip gun, which is completely beyond the scope of 'equipment skills' The existence of it cannot be explained at all.
The strengthening technique does not belong to this plane. After merging with the laws of the plane, a new 'law' is created. All changes after the equipment is strengthened are given by the 'law' and there is no explanation at all.
"In this case, in the future, the additional effects of some equipment can be used with confidence on the grounds of 'instrument skills'. Moreover, even the 'Phantom Clone' effect of the Fire Point Spear will only be considered by others as a soul skill... but it is not necessary. Worrying too much can lead to suspicion.”
Bai Yunfei recalled the brief battle before and thought to himself: "After one month of training in the "Fire Control Technique", my strength has actually increased a lot, and after the improved fit, I can use the fire-tip spear more easily, + The additional effects of 12 are also very powerful, and the additional effects of the Blazing Gloves have not been tested in actual combat... I didn't expect that I had gained so much in just one month of coming to the Weapon Refining Sect. Even if I can't become a direct disciple, it's not in vain. okay."
"It's a pity that I still haven't reached the realm of Soul Sect. I have to break through the bottleneck, but I can't make too much progress. Just let nature take its course..."
"After three days, I will finally learn the art of refining weapons. I'm really looking forward to it..."
