Soul of Burning Steel

extreme intention.

Joshua, who has now become a legend, has a deeper understanding of these two words than before.

If it is said that the ultimate meaning of power is to break through the shackles of talent and obtain a powerful evolutionary ability beyond the limitation of species, then the ultimate meaning of skill is the comprehension that technology is close to the Tao and is not bound by rigid moves.

Huge strength, rapidity, superhuman senses and awakening of blood vessels are all manifestations of extreme power. With it, one can gradually transform oneself into a more powerful life form. Just like what Joshua did back then, his body became stronger and stronger, almost indestructible, even the flames and lava of the giant dragon were as harmless to him as warm water.

The fine-grained control, the reaction speed beyond the limit, the instinctive early warning as if predicting the future, and the perception that can directly grasp the flow of energy are a manifestation of the ultimate power of technology, and it is a sublimation of the means of observing the world . Because you can see clearly and understand thoroughly, you can use your own power as you like, and then form various skills-this is the truth of the so-called unlocking skills.

Two, one can pit humans against dragons, and the other can open up a genre for mortals. In Mycroft Continent, there are the most powerhouses with these two extreme intentions. At first, most of them were soldiers and generals who fought on the battlefield, and hunters and adventurers who hunted monsters in the dense forest. Because of their existence, The genres of talent and fighting skills in the human bloodline have become more and more abundant, and the entire race has been promoted by it.

While the holders of the Ultimate Intent of Power improve their own bloodlines and that of their descendants, it is equivalent to spreading their optimized bloodlines to the entire human race, making the human race continue to evolve to this day. In the same way, there are no holders of the same ultimate intention in the world. The skills and branches they have developed for magic battle qi and various extraordinary abilities are enriching the background of this extraordinary civilization, just like the original spellcasters. It is subdivided into categories such as Alchemist, Bloodline Warlock, Psyker, Elemental Mage and Fortune Teller, and will continue to branch out into various branches in the foreseeable future.

According to what Joshua said in his previous life, the two extreme intentions are equivalent to the sublimation of hardware and software. The extreme intention of power improves the basic quality, while the extreme intention of technology expands the width and upper limit.

But the last one, the ultimate intent of the soul...

"The most original, the oldest extreme intention, but also the least awakened extreme intention."

Starfall 836, April 27th, evening in the North. The setting sun sank into the horizon, and the dim yellow light enveloped the main city of Moldavia. Joshua stood on Hei's head, and the black dragon flew slowly in the high-altitude clouds. From the head of the dragon, he looked down at the stars and lights in the city one by one, and the stars emerging in the night. He watched the daily life of hundreds of thousands of people with his eyes, but he was thinking about the ultimate meaning of the soul in his heart.

The ultimate will of the soul, it is said that it is the first ultimate will to be comprehended in this world, it is far earlier than the ultimate will of force, and also far earlier than the ultimate will of skill, it was first recorded in the ancient books of the Guangyao Era Among them, and there are only a few sporadic ones, it is rumored that the awakener is a sage in the wild ancient times of human beings. He and several other sages created the original system of psionic energy and magic, and made the "soul pole" the future pole. It is intended that the original name has been determined. He is also the first recorded undead creature in this world. The term 'spiritual body' only appeared after him.

In the past, Joshua's knowledge of the ultimate soul was only the immortality of the soul after the body decayed and the strength of the soul far surpassed that of ordinary transcendents. However, this kind of power is not absolute. Extreme Intent, the strength of psychic power is far higher than that of the Ultimate Intent who has comprehended it. Joshua originally thought that he was this kind of person, and there was no need to deliberately practice this aspect, but now it seems that the Ultimate Intention of Soul is likely to not only It's just a simple 'strong and solid', but it means a 'perfect' state.

"Control power, not be controlled by power... Hei, what do you think is spiritual perfection?"

Parading over his territory with his mount for a long time, Joshua and the black dragon shuttled through the clouds at night. He looked at the top of the concave and convex clouds illuminated by moonlight and starlight, and casually asked this question that puzzled him. The soldiers didn't expect to get an answer, but there were still some holders of the sea-born ancient dragon blood who were afraid of heights. After thinking for a while, they gave their answers cautiously: "Don't back down in the face of threats, and don't bow your head in the face of power? Dangerous, heroic, never timid, never looking back... Well, I really can't think of a master..."

"...It's not perfection, it's just a bad temper."

Joshua paused for a moment, and then patted the black dragon's horns in relief: "But it's not wrong, it seems to be the same as what Ying said, you have indeed read books recently, and your education level is a bit higher than before. .”

"Hey." The black dragon gave a smirk, and then flapped her wings slightly to control the direction of her flight. She said quite proudly: "After all, I have nothing else to do except eating and sleeping, Xiaoguang. You don’t want to play with me anymore, you can only make a living by reading books..."

"Sure enough, I still can't let you idle - I will report to Cold Winter Castle tomorrow, and you will go to exercise with the group of white dragon cubs, twenty times the amount of training, if you can still breathe at night, double the amount the next day. "

"Master?! Master!!"

He didn't care about Hei's wailing. Although Joshua didn't get any useful advice from his horse's words, he did understand one thing, that is, everyone's heart is different, just like two trees. Because the branches and leaves are different, their perfect form is also different. There are no identical people in the world, and naturally there are no identical hearts, and the requirements for perfection are naturally different.

"What is the existence of the ultimate soul? What is the limit of the soul? It seems that I should really ask those who have achieved it."

It may be difficult for ordinary people to visit a strong man who possesses the ultimate will of the soul, but with Joshua's current strength and reputation, it is not difficult, not to mention that he already knew many people who possessed the ultimate will of the soul. people.

"Affected by divinity, do you want to try to solve it from the ultimate intention of the soul? No wonder your previous behavior was so strange, it makes sense."

The experimental airship above the Great Ajax Mountains, William, who was conducting the experiment, raised his head from the experimental table thoughtfully, and looked at Joshua. He thought for a while, then frowned and said: "But you are asking the wrong person this question. Although I am good at controlling the loopholes in the mind and dissecting the messages in the depths of the soul, in fact, I have achieved legends with extreme skills— ——I have seen too many imperfect souls, and I never feel that I am perfect. I even scoff at the word perfection. As for divinity, although I have some methods that may be able to suppress it, I guess you won’t be able to use it. "

Just when Joshua was still shocked by the fact that [Master of Mind] was not the holder of the ultimate soul, he knew another fact that shocked him even more: Barnir, the master of the rune, this rune The strongest sorcerer is actually advanced to legend with the ultimate intention of strength - he engraved runes on every cell in his body, and after completely sublimating his life form, he gradually advanced to legend. This person first An ancient dragon-biology master, and then a mage.

But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully. How could a person who is obsessed with ancient dragons not be proficient in biology? It's just hard to imagine that Barnier's specialization in this area has even surpassed his talent in runes, which is really amazing.

And William didn't care about Joshua's surprise, because he had been shocked by this incident for decades, and he explained to the soldiers his plan to suppress divinity in detail. It was an extremely complicated spiritual network, and 2048 mental traps and soul seals constitute a ten-layer restraint ring, and each mental trap is interlocked with another, which can produce various chain reactions. It is not impossible for Joshua to do this. A little, but he suspected that after he really added this thing to his soul, the divinity would be suppressed, and his mind would probably be suppressed into an idiot.

"This is the seal I'm going to use to deal with the demon lord, and it's still experimental." William explained succinctly. He looked at Joshua with piercing eyes: "However, if you can help test it..."

"excuse me."
