Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 875 Revealing the Answer
It was just past noon and I had nothing to do, so I just asked if there was anyone else who had failed.
As soon as he asked this question, Zhou Xu realized that he had asked a stupid question.

There is a group of extraordinary beings in his personal guard who have laid a good foundation innately. They can achieve twice the result with half the effort by practicing this, which is like cheating.

Except for him and Li Tie, there is no other ordinary person in this yard.

Under this premise, Li Tie also succeeded earlier than him. After a round, isn't he the only one left? !

Just when Zhou Xu was feeling melancholy, Shi Lei came, and Zhou Xu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Shi Lei, have you mastered it?"

Faced with this question, Shi Lei immediately looked ashamed.

"I am ashamed. After practicing for many days, I have not seen any results."

After hearing this, Zhou Xu did not blame him, but just waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter. After all, you still have military duties to attend to. You can't focus all your energy on practicing martial arts. There's nothing you can do about it."

As he spoke, Zhou Xu quickly turned the topic to business.

"Today I made a new discovery..."

As he spoke, Zhou Xu told Shi Lei about his discovery.

According to Zhou Xu's idea, apart from the reason that he has yet to verify, the biggest reason why Shi Lei has not been able to master it is probably the same as his.

Don't forget that Shi Lei is a cautious person.

The biggest characteristic of a cautious person is that he tends to think too much.

After learning the method from Zhou Xu, Shi Lei did not doubt it and started practicing it immediately.

However, Shi Lei practiced until he collapsed from exhaustion, but he still failed.

"What's going on? Is it because your mind can't clear?"

Faced with the question, Shi Lei shook his head breathlessly.

"No, no, after practicing for a while, my mind has gone blank."

After hearing Shi Lei finish his breath, everyone, including Jie Liancheng, felt even more puzzled.

Could it be that their Majesty's method is wrong?

But Zhou Xu, who was standing aside, had a new idea at this moment.

The next morning, Zhou Xu asked Shi Lei to continue practicing according to this method.

His exhaustion yesterday was merely the limit of his physical strength. As a professional soldier who undergoes military training every day, Shi Lei's recovery ability is unmatched by ordinary people.

By the next day, although he could not be said to have fully recovered, he was able to carry out some training.

Not to mention that Zhou Xu's method would only be effective if Shi Lei was so tired that his mind went blank. From this point of view, it was actually better that Shi Lei was in a bad state at the moment.

However, the second day still ended with Shi Lei collapsing to the ground in exhaustion.

But what everyone didn't expect was that their Majesty asked Shi Lei to continue on the third day.

At this moment, the elven knights including Silk and Li Tie were all confused and couldn't understand what their Majesty wanted to do.

On the contrary, Shi Lei, the person involved, responded to the order without thinking and carried it out faithfully.

This made Zhou Xu unexpectedly feel the gap in loyalty.

Silk and Li Tie's loyalty to him is over 80 points, among which Silk has the highest loyalty, which is 88 points.

These are undoubtedly loyal subjects, but when faced with something that they think is strange or unreasonable, they will still have their own ideas and even some objections.

On the other hand, Shi Lei's loyalty is as high as 90 points. So far, he has almost unconditional trust in Zhou Xu.

In Shi Lei's opinion, he didn't need to worry about why. His Majesty asked him to do this, so there must be a reason. He just had to do it. This state lasted for five days, until the sixth day.

Due to the continuous accumulation of physical fatigue, Shi Lei's condition was getting worse day by day, and he soon became out of breath.

Just when everyone thought Shi Lei was about to die, they heard a whistling sound and a swift and powerful punch was thrown from Shi Lei's hand.

Not to mention the crowd watching, this punch made Shi Lei's expression, which was already dull due to excessive fatigue, stunned for a moment.

Gradually, Shi Lei realized what had just happened, and an unconcealable ecstasy emerged on his face.

"I succeeded, I succeeded!!"

After a brief excitement, Shi Lei's gaze quickly fell on Zhou Xu, his face full of admiration.

"Your Majesty is wise. This is exactly what you expected!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xu smiled slightly.

"It's just a simple speculative analysis."

However, his words made the audience even more confused, and Xie Liancheng couldn't help but ask a question directly...

"Your Majesty, what is going on?"

"Nothing, it's just that Shi Lei has not been able to activate the power of the mantra in his body through practice before. Now I have roughly figured out the reason behind this."

"what reason?"

At this moment, Xie Liancheng's face was also full of curiosity.

After thinking about it, he didn't feel that Shi Lei was any different from them.

Everyone practices the Five-Step Fist and has the power of mantra, so the conditions are basically the same.

Feeling the curious gazes of the crowd, Zhou Xu didn't plan to keep it a secret any longer.

“The key lies in the truth.”

"The truth? Everyone has it..."

At this point, Xie Liancheng paused, and he remembered something Zhou Xu had said during his analysis.

At the same time, Zhou Xu had already said it.

"To put it simply, there are also differences between mantras. To make it easier to understand, I will now divide mantras into three major categories, namely 'combat', 'spells', and 'functional'."

"Mantras like 'Lightning Dance' and 'Speed ​​Enhancement' that directly affect oneself and improve one's combat ability belong to the combat category."

"A series of mantras like 'Lightning Attack', 'Flying Stone Attack', and the 'Skeleton Soldier' ​​series belong to the 'Magic Category'."

"Mantras like 'Eye of Secrets' and 'Eye of Insight' belong to the 'Functional Category'."

After a brief introduction, Zhou Xu directly revealed the answer.

"If you want to activate the mantras in your body and stimulate your body while practicing, you must have combat mantras in your body."

"In my opinion, the mantra running in the body is, to put it bluntly, tempering the body and increasing its strength. As long as it is improved to a certain level, it should be able to reach the Hundred Refinements Realm."

"And this effect can only be matched and triggered by combat mantras."

"At the same time, the nature of combat mantras will also affect the tempering effect to a certain extent. When you were practicing, your energy took the form of an arc, which should be affected by the 'Lightning' mantra. Of course, the specific extent of the influence of this nature is still unknown."

"The reason why I had Shi Lei train to exhaustion using my method for five consecutive days was to ensure that he would not succeed, not because of his own condition."

"On the sixth day, I gave Shi Lei the mantra of 'speed enhancement'. Facts have proven that he succeeded, and this conclusion was drawn accordingly."
