Weird Wizarding World

  Chapter 396 The Power of Will

   There are two experimenters who broke through the great knight, one is Alcott who is already a great knight.

  In fact, among the first batch of testers, he was the only one who survived, and he hadn't used the burrow factor yet.

  The other is an apprentice knight named Abner—basically, he can be regarded as an ordinary person.

   Alcott first practiced the nameless breathing method, and then reworked the giant mountain breathing method to the stage of the great knight.

  The reason why Abner was able to advance to the Grand Knight so quickly was mainly because of the cave factor.

  The cave factor specially extracted by Colin is amazing in assisting the cultivation of giant mountain breathing method.

   Abner was originally mediocre in talent, but in the past half a year, he successfully advanced to a great knight. This speed is already comparable to that of Colin who was assisted by gold paper back then!

  In the silver room, Colin was checking Abner and Alcott one by one.

   "The blood energy is basically the same, there is not much difference, and the same is true for the physical body..."

   Not long after, he finished the inspection. After pondering for a moment, he ordered to Alcott:

   "Go to the side and practice the giant mountain breathing method."

   Alcott was slightly taken aback, then walked to the corner and followed suit silently.

  Colin continues to observe Abner.

   This knight who practiced the improved Giant Mountain Breathing Method and used the Catacomb Factor has not shown any abnormalities in his body until now.

   There is no purple skin like O'Neills, nor any bloodthirsty desire, and the overall appearance is very healthy.

   It seems that the improved breathing method seems to have gotten rid of the negative influence of the cave factor?

  But Colin still didn't dare to take it lightly, and continued to check Abner.

  After all, whether it is O'Neill or Alec, they all gradually began to have abnormal reactions in the stage of the great knight.

  At present, Abner has just broken through to become a great knight. Whether he has got rid of the negative influence of the cave factor is still unknown, and needs to continue to observe.

  After the inspection, Colin pondered for a moment, and said to Abner in front of him: "Practice the giant mountain breathing method once."

  The original giant mountain breathing method has a fatal flaw when it is practiced to the stage of the great knight-the practitioner will eventually collapse and die because there is no upper limit for the growth of the body.

  Usually, this process will be shortened as the cultivator's cultivation speed is faster.

  So generally speaking, at the grand knight stage, members of the Wood family will generally choose to stop practicing the giant mountain breathing method in order to prolong their lifespan.

   Even so, their bodies will not stop growing, but will continue to grow larger, swell, and eventually collapse and die.

  It seems that the Giant Mountain Breathing Method breaks through certain restrictions of the human body after breaking through the Great Knight stage.

  So he wanted to see if the improved giant mountain breathing method would still have the same defect as before in the grand knight stage.

   Abner nodded and began to practice on the spot.

   This is also the first time he and Alcott have practiced since they became great knights.

   After about an hour or so, the two finished their practice.

  Colin called them over and continued to check his body.

   And this time, there was an obvious difference between the two!

  Alcott's physical improvement is obviously more than that of Abner, who has been taking the Catacomb Factor for a long time, but it is also more chaotic.

  According to Alcott's description—"The body seems to be covered with a layer of gauze, and it seems to be filled with mercury. Although the strength has increased, it will feel that the body is more sluggish than before."

  Abner, on the other hand, used a word—"difficult" to describe this training.

  During this training process, he obviously felt that the efficiency of his training had dropped significantly. If it was running before, this time it is equivalent to crawling, and it is still in a pool of glue full of resistance!

  He even felt that he didn't have any improvement at all!

   At the same time, Abner also felt that there would be a dry and hot breath rushing from the heart to the brain, making him upset. While unable to concentrate, there is also a faint urge to smash things around!

  After listening to the descriptions of the two, Colin couldn't help but frowned. After thinking for a moment, he took out two bottles of burrow factor potions and handed them to them.

   "Drink it, and practice again."

   "Okay, my lord." Abner hastily reached out to take it. In the past six months, he has basically taken a bottle of burrow factor every day.

  The benefits that this miraculous potion brought to Abner in terms of breathing practice made him unable to stop.

   Originally, he was not valued in the Wood family, and he was not even taught advanced breathing techniques, but now every time he practices, he feels as if he is a genius who is once in ten thousand years!

   Alcott also silently took over the Catacombs factor.

  He didn't know what would happen if he took this bottle of potion, but he had witnessed Abner's crazy cultivation speed under the blessing of potion in the past half a year.

   But now that the miraculous potion was in front of him, what Alcott had in mind was not anticipation, but more fear.

  He understands that any gift given by fate will not be free, but he doesn't have more choices.

   Silently suppressing the complicated thoughts in his heart, Alcott unplugged the cork from the mouth of the potion bottle, drank the catacomb factor in one gulp, and then began to practice.

Snapped.

  Colin took out his pocket watch. He went to the underground cave in the evening, and he came to the wilderness laboratory not long ago, so it is only 12 o'clock now, and he still has a lot of time to study.

   Putting away the pocket watch, he stood aside and waited quietly.

  However, this time it was less than an hour, just half an hour, when the mutation suddenly appeared.

   “Uh ah ah—”

  Abner on the right side of the hall first slowed down his cultivation movements, with sweat dripping from his forehead, and after a pause, he suddenly roared.

  He rushed towards the nearest Colin as if desperate for his life. His opened eyes were red, with nematode-like bloodshots all over his face, and his entire face was also flushed red!

  Colin's complexion changed slightly, and he immediately released the Temple ring bondage!

boom!

   Abner's forward pounce action froze immediately, and he fell heavily to the silver floor. He slid forward for a certain distance without losing momentum, and came to Colin's feet.

   "He seems...in a bloodthirsty state?" O'Neill said uncertainly.

  In the past six months, although he has never been in contact with any burrow factors, he still falls into madness every one and a half months.

   Abner is no stranger to the current performance.

  Colin lowered his head and looked at Abner at his feet, his two saber eyebrows twisted together. Like O'Neill, he was no stranger to Abner's current state.

   This is clearly the state of being polluted by the catacomb factor.

  Such a shocking change made Alcott on the side stop his practice and looked over in amazement, his expression was a little dazed at the moment.

  The changes brought about by taking the potion given by Colin were more intense than he had imagined.

   "You continue." Colin glanced up at him and said in a deep voice.

   "Ho-ho-"

  At this moment, there was a slight movement at his feet.

  Colin lowered his head. At this moment, the redness on Abner's face had faded unknowingly, and the bloodshot eyes had also disappeared, returning to a normal appearance.

   Shua.

  He raised his eyebrows slightly, and waved his hands to release the restraints on Abner.

   "Cough—cough cough—"

  The latter coughed violently for a moment, then propped himself up and got up.

   "Describe to me the feeling just now." Colin asked calmly.

  Under the effect of the knight halo, Abner in front of him did not hesitate, carefully recalling the feeling just now and said:

   "After taking the miraculous potion of the adults, I started to practice normally. At first, it was the same as before, and I could clearly feel the continuous improvement of my body strength.

   "But at a certain moment later, everything suddenly changed, as if a spring rebounded after being compressed to the limit, or as if a certain limit was punctured."

   "A scorching breath surged from the heart to the brain, destroying all my sanity, and the tyrannical emotions dominated me in an instant, and then I rushed forward, and then I was controlled by you the next moment."

   "I have to say, my lord, your strength is really..."

  Colin raised his hand to interrupt Abner's useless narration.

  ‘After being promoted to a great knight, if you take the Catacomb Factor, will you be negatively affected by it instead…’

  He thought for a moment, and began to examine Abner's body in front of him.

  The situation was even worse than what Abner felt. On the skin at the heart of his chest, little purple spots had already begun to appear.

  However, Abner's strength has indeed improved significantly compared to before.

   But this improvement is undoubtedly insignificant compared to the disadvantages.

  To this day, Colin still hasn't found any effective treatment or method to improve the sequelae of taking the Catacomb Factor.

  Every time O'Neill had an attack, he could only restrain him like he did to Abner just now, waiting for his natural recovery.

   After a while, Alcott finished training, and there was surprise in his eyes.

   Without waiting for Colin to ask, he took the initiative to describe:

   "My lord, I feel like I've shrunk a bit..." While speaking, he waved his fist, "But the strength doesn't seem to have dropped at all, but has been greatly improved."

   "What about the rational side? Do you feel any hot or violent urges?" Colin continued to ask.

   "No." Alcott shook his head decisively, "I feel that my mind is very clear, and my will is still firm."

  Colin raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Come here, let me check."

  Alcott's body was obviously shrunk as he described.

  Before this practice, Alcott was about 2.5 meters, but now he is about 2.4 meters.

   It is worth mentioning that under such a huge change in body shape, Alcott's weight has hardly changed.

   "My lord, besides that, I also feel that I can see inside my own body, and I seem to have acquired some kind of strange ability."

   Alcott continued to add, while demonstrating his newly acquired ability to Colin.

  I saw him stretch out his index finger, and then swipe towards the raised right forearm.

   Shua!

  The nails that hadn't been trimmed for a long time were like a sharp knife, quickly slashed across the arm under the power of the great knight, but left no trace.

   This is a very common performance—if Alcott has supported the blood armor.

   But he didn't.

  Colin keenly observed that Alcott's nails didn't really touch the forearm when they passed over the top of the forearm—it seemed that there was an invisible layer of substance that hindered the cutting of the nails.

   Alcott withdrew his right hand, and then stabbed towards the forearm of his left hand with his index finger.

   This time, the phenomenon that Colin can see is more intuitive.

   Alcott's translucent nails were already bent under tremendous force, but the skin on the forearm of his left hand didn't respond at all, not even a dent at all!

   A layer of exotic substance hinders the progress of the nails!

  When Colin wanted to continue to observe for a while, Alcott retracted his arm panting, his face was full of exhaustion, it seemed that the short cover just now would make him exhausted.

   "How did you do it?"

   This kind of power is not witchcraft, nor is it blood, and it is not even the same as spiritual power.

   Alcott took a few deep breaths, thought for a moment and said, "Concentrate and concentrate, just like when the knight is meditating."

   "Knight meditation..." Colin nodded slightly.

  This is the stage that the giant mountain breathing method lacked at the beginning. The simple description is to sharpen the will first, and then guide the practice of the body through the spiritual will.

  ‘Could it be that... this is the power of will? ’ A guess suddenly popped up in Colin’s mind.

   "Did this power exist before? For example, when the knight meditated?" Colin continued to ask.

  Alcott thought about it for a moment, then shook his head, "No, it just appeared. To be more specific, it appeared after I drank the potion your lord gave you."

   "Although the feeling of knight meditation is somewhat similar to now, it feels very different in essence. If the previous feeling was just air that couldn't be grasped, now this is more like holding a hard wood in the hand."

  ‘It appeared after drinking the Catacomb Factor...’

  'Could it be that taking the Catacomb Factor after advancing to the Great Knight can help practitioners of the giant mountain breathing method unlock the power of will? '

  Colin subconsciously guessed.

   Maybe it was his intuition that helped. In the next half month of more detailed research, Colin successfully verified the correctness of his conjecture!

  The connection between the catacomb factor and the giant mountain breathing method is to allow the practitioners after the advanced Grand Knight to obtain a peculiar power of will, which is named by the current Colin!

   And he also thoroughly understood the cultivation system of Jushan breathing method.

  In summary, it is the will first, then the flesh, and then the blood.

  Knight meditation is an extremely critical step. It is not only the basis for practicing the giant mountain breathing method, but also the basis for developing the will later.

   Knight meditation can cultivate the seedlings of will, and when you break through the great knight, it is the time for the seedlings to take shape.

  The catacomb factor is an important driving force for turning the formed will seedlings into real willpower!

  The reason why it can promote the formation of the will and speed up the giant mountain breathing method is because of the special stimulation it produces on the body.

  This special stimulus is actually a kind of pollution and injury, somewhat similar to the radiation in the previous life.

  However, at the stage of the Great Knight of the Giant Mountain Breathing Method, it can stimulate the potential of the practitioner and allow him to open up the power of will.

   Alcott is lucky. According to Colin's current research, even if he takes the Catacomb Factor, it cannot guarantee 100% activation of willpower.

  And if the crypt factor is used wantonly before the great knight, it will also kill the seedlings of will, just like Abner, he can only stay at the great knight stage.

  However, Alcott was indeed successful, so not only was he not polluted by the burrow factor, but he also solved the drawbacks of the Giant Mountain Breathing Method in the Great Knight stage!

  The giant mountain breathing method will make the practitioner's body lose its limit when he advances to the great knight. While gaining growing strength, it will also lead to the abyss of destruction.

  But the will is able to solve this kind of power, it can bring the out-of-control body back under control, and at the same time retain the growing ability!

   It is equivalent to putting a changeable and flexible restraint on him after breaking the original restrictions of the flesh!

  The jigsaw puzzle of the giant mountain breathing method has been completely completed by Colin.

   Without a doubt, this is clearly a new path of knighthood too!

   After only half a month, the successful Alcott showed a strength far superior to that of the great knight, and he had already stepped into the first-order category!

   This is a new extension of the knight's path, and the changeable willpower even made Colin feel that this is a path that is better than his original blood compression!

   Moreover, it can perfectly integrate with his current knight system!
