"confirm."

[Confirmed, upgrade begins...]

[Upgrade completed, primary soul rune knowledge has been upgraded to LV.10]

[Hint: You have mastered the methods of using the "Soul-stealing Secret Method" and the "Soul-returning Secret Method"]

……

[Elementary Soul Mysticism: LV.10]

Proficiency: 1/1000
1. Soul Absorption Secret Method: A secret method that can restore soul energy by absorbing the soul energy in the "Soul Crystal". The current absorption speed limit is 1500 points/second (soul engraving increases by 50%).

2. Soul-stealing Secret Technique: Soul Crystal (complete) or 10000 soul energy can be consumed to construct the "Soul-stealing Mark". The "Soul-stealing Mark" can erode the soul of the hit unit. After the erosion is completed, the "Soul-stealing Mark" can be used to modify or extract its memory. The current strength of the Soul-stealing Mark is: 15 points (Soul Inscription increases by 50%).

*Tip: Using this secret method will consume a great deal of your own mental energy, and the soul and cognition of the soul-stealing unit will suffer small to extremely large permanent damage based on the degree of soul-stealing after the durability of the "Soul-stealing Mark" is exhausted.

3. Soul-Returning Secret Method: Soul Crystal (complete) or 10000 soul energy can be consumed to construct the "Soul-Returning Mark". After the "Soul-Returning Mark" is integrated into the soul, it can temporarily improve the self-healing ability of the soul. When the soul is damaged, durability is consumed to repair the damage to the soul. The current repair strength is: 15 points (soul engraving increases by 50%).

*Tip: Using this secret method will greatly consume your own mental energy, and the maximum number of "Soul Return Marks" that can be effective for a single unit is 1.

Upgrade cost: 3 soul coin

……

As a result, the only thing left to learn is soul weapon level 10.

Inside the ruined tower, Xin Lailai, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the information introduction interface at the edge of his sight, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Honestly speaking, it took almost three worlds of progress to upgrade the two branches of soul science to LV.10. This speed is not the slowest in the soul system, but at least it is classified as one of those with too slow progress.

But time is too tight on their side. Techniques and moves need to be developed, spells need to be studied, alchemy needs to be improved, and now there is soul science with three branches. Under this circumstance, they can barely ensure that soul science does not fall too far behind. This is the result of Ling Yuzi's research and study in the soul space whenever he has free time.

But they have no choice but to learn. As the only ones among the pioneers who came from a self-taught background, if they want to continue on this path despite being at a clear disadvantage compared to the others, they can only start with comprehensiveness. Since they cannot develop any one of their skills to the S+ or even EX level, they have to find a way to make themselves a hexagonal warrior with an all-round S- level.

"It would be nice if I could get a title that increases the speed of learning knowledge."

Xin Lailai looked at the proficiency that had returned to the starting point at the edge of his sight, rubbed his temples gently, and a hint of hope appeared in his eyes.

If they can obtain a scholar title, even if it is just the most common one-star title, with the title refining function, their knowledge learning speed will definitely be qualitatively improved.

However, the probability of obtaining such titles is too low. According to the probability he found from the database, if the charm attribute is kept at the maximum, on average, it takes about 1000 titles to get one scholar title that increases the speed of knowledge learning.

This is the case when the charm attribute is maxed out and the luck is above average. If it were those contractors whose charm attributes are not so high and whose luck is also relatively touching, they might not be able to obtain a scholar title through natural settlement drops in their lifetime.

As for the equipment and skills that increase the speed of knowledge learning?
There are indeed many skills in Paradise that can increase learning speed, but either the conditions for obtaining and mastering them are extremely harsh, or the effects are extremely weak, or when they have 90 points of real intelligence attribute + two LV.20 magic master passives, their learning speed has actually been increased to an extremely high level. In this case, more than 95% of the abilities to enhance learning speed are of zero improvement to them, and the only 0% that no one is willing to sell.

The same goes for equipment. This thing is the same as a skill scroll. Once any good stuff appears, it will basically be held in the hands of the recipients like a treasure. It is impossible to sell it. After all, these days, even if a pig with only technical abilities enters the park, he must first find a way to learn more knowledge and master a skill to rely on. Otherwise, if he encounters a situation where some force is needed and is useless, he will really die miserably.

Therefore, from a probability perspective, obtaining a title that can increase the speed of knowledge learning is currently the most reliable way for them who have both high charm and luck to increase the speed of knowledge learning. As for when they can get it, it really depends on luck.

'Laila, Lily seems to be waking up soon!'

Suddenly, Ling Yuzi's voice sounded in Xin Lailai's mind, causing Xin Lailai's eyes to move. He immediately unfolded the Star Luo Domain, taking in the scene in the cockpit of the cobalt blue mecha into his mind, and at the same time spoke to Yamu and the Death Bearer who were meditating:

"Get ready, Lily seems to be waking up."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little white saint, who was originally curled up in the cockpit and wrapped in a small quilt, moved slightly, then rubbed her eyes, climbed up from her seat in a daze, and looked around at the scene in a daze, as if she was recalling what happened before she fell asleep.

"!"

As memories emerged, the originally dazed Little White Saint suddenly jumped up and looked at the screen hurriedly. She only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Xin Lailai and the others were safe and sound. The tension on her little face gradually faded away.

"Good morning, Lily. How was your rest? Are you feeling unwell?"

The sound of the hatch opening was heard, and Ling Yuzi floated to the side of Saint Xiaobai lovingly. After holding her in his arms, he gently rubbed Saint Xiaobai's soft white hair and asked softly.

Upon hearing this, Saint Xiaobai shook her head slightly, indicating that she had recovered well. Then she closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and looked very determined. Then...

Om-! !

A circle of extremely strong soul fluctuations spread out, and then five phantoms of different colors flashed by, and finally turned into the figures of Black Knight and others, heavily smashing on the crab shell of the cobalt blue mecha of the Crab. Black flames, foul feathers, blood, black fog and shadows spread out together, giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression.

"Thanks. It's us who failed to do our best."

A turbid and hoarse voice came from under the Black Knight's armor, and the Black Knight looked down at Xin Lailai and others standing on the ground and performed a knight's salute.

As the only one of the guardians who retained self-awareness, it watched everything from beginning to end. It saw how Xin Lailai and the other two protected Saint Xiaobai after she fell unconscious and fought their way into the ruined tower, which made it feel extremely guilty.

"It doesn't matter. You've done enough. Besides, there were reasons that we didn't consider carefully this time."

Xin Lailai shook his head slightly and spoke.

The help that the Black Knights and other guardians had given them along the way was great enough. You have to know that it was a journey of more than 2 kilometers. Even if they traveled at twice the speed of sound, it would take a full half day to complete the journey, and there was no place to rest in the middle. It can be said that without the help of the Black Knights and other guardians, if the three of them wanted to protect Saint Xiaobai to complete this journey, the supplies and props in their storage space would have to be reduced by at least 3/.

"Since all..."

Buzz——!!

Suddenly, before Xin Lailai could finish his words, the ground beneath everyone's feet shook violently. An filthy creature that looked like a flying dragon swooped down from a distance and slammed heavily into the white light curtain, making the already dim white light even dimmer.

Are we reaching our limit?

Xin Lailai sensed the rapidly dimming formation patterns in the tower, and without any hesitation, she formed a crystal arm and pulled down the White Crystal in mid-air. She threw it into Saint Xiaobai's hands and said,

"Go! Hurry up!!" Boom! !

The next second, the tower collapsed without the protection of the barrier, and smoke and dust rose up in the sky. As the cobalt blue mecha carrying Xin Lailai and others rushed out of the smoke, the filthy creatures that were originally wandering around let out excited roars and roars one after another like sharks smelling blood.

“Ouch!!” “Woohoohoohoo——!!”

"Moo~!!" "Ruaaa——!!"

It was hard to tell where the roars and screams came from as they echoed wildly from the sky above the city ruins. In the distance, the originally dark red barren ground suddenly collapsed, and huge arms stretched out from the ground, rushing towards the cobalt blue mecha together with the army of flying ghosts swooping down from the sky.

"Just run over! Lily, get the nuns ready!"

A cold, low roar sounded in everyone's mind, and Xin Lailai looked at the scene in front of him with cold and calm eyes. He slammed the white smiling mask in his hand onto his face, releasing all his pressure without reservation.

[Tip: The Deep Thinking Link function has been enabled, and the current floating point computing power increase ratio is 8400 times]

Om-! !

A terrifying bloody energy burst out, and a blood-colored storm spread from the crab shell of the cobalt blue mecha of the mechanical crab, causing the movements of the filthy creatures that rushed to a close range to all pause. Then a purple-red cross of light bloomed in the air, and finally turned into a shock wave that was more than ten meters wide and shot up into the sky.

boom!
A series of explosions sounded, and the filthy creatures hit by the purple-red filthy light beams exploded in mid-air one after another like explosives. The cobalt blue mecha, under the cover of the spell barrier and the force field deployed by the mecha itself, spewed out two extremely dazzling dark blue flames. The entire mecha instantly turned into a dark blue meteor under the action of the thrusters. In just less than a few seconds, it had covered a distance of several thousand meters, leaving behind those filthy creatures with slow speed.

Peng——! !

The whistling sound of the strong wind passed by Xin Lailai's ears, and the disgusting corrupt air kept hitting the magic barrier in front of him, mixing with the flesh and blood of the filthy creatures that were smashed into pieces, and following the movements of the cobalt blue mecha, dragged a long tail of flesh and blood in the air.

"Blood Knight, left front, get rid of that flying dragon in advance."

"Yamu, deploy the boundary thunder. There will be a large wave of contact in 2.7 seconds."

"Ling Yuzi, change the flight direction to vertical ascent after 2000m."

"The one who holds the dead..."

One after another, cold instructions came quickly from Xin Lailai, bombarding the minds of everyone present in the form of soul thoughts. Xin Lailai was like a machine with only rationality left, accurately issuing one instruction after another, intercepting all the filthy creatures that tried to approach the cobalt blue mecha five hundred meters away.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang——!!

A series of explosions sounded in mid-air, and the cobalt blue mecha, the black knights and the death bearers on it seemed as if they had a God's perspective. They were always able to pass through the gaps in the encirclement and attack loopholes of the filthy army with the most precise operations, leaving the filthy creatures with nothing but to watch them slip away from them, letting out roars of unwillingness and anger.

Breath, bone arrows, flames, poisonous mist...

Self-destruction, mental shock, flesh and blood bombs, soul roar...

All kinds of attacks erupted from mid-air, and deafening roars rang in everyone's ears again and again. The huge "black wall" at the end of the horizon also began to rapidly expand in the field of vision of several people, and became clearer as the distance got closer.

Peng——! !

A dark blue flame tail streaked through the air, and circles of visible Mach rings spread out along with the piercing sonic boom. At a high-speed sprint of more than 600 meters per second, in just five minutes, the cobalt blue mecha had left the ruins of Absolute City far behind and rushed toward the direction of the black wall for nearly 200 kilometers.

Very good, this way, it will only take three minutes at most to rush into the Absolute Fortress!

On the crab shell of the cobalt blue mecha, Xin Lailai faced the strong wind, staring at the ever-enlarging "black high wall" in the distance, calculating and analyzing the situation on the battlefield in his mind with great calmness. Just as he was about to issue the next round of action orders to the others, a light blue light suddenly bloomed from the end of his sight, causing his pupils to shrink suddenly.

"Everyone, defend!!!"

Almost at the moment when Xin Lailai gave the order, the light blue light in the distance had expanded to the size of an egg. Seeing this, the Death Holder and others did not hesitate at all and immediately followed Xin Lailai's instructions. They all used their own methods to deploy layers of barriers in front of the cobalt blue mecha, and then -

hum!
The icy blue color bloomed in everyone's sight along with the whistling sound of breaking through the air. The biting cold came from all directions. Huge ice cones whizzed past and swallowed up the cobalt blue mecha along with the surrounding filthy creatures.

Boom boom boom boom——!!

In an instant, there were so many collision sounds that it was almost impossible to tell which came first, and then huge square ice cones came bombarding like a rainstorm, completely stopping the cobalt blue mecha in its tracks.

Crystal gravity magic, 10 times the gravity!
Om-! !

The next second, a circle of invisible traction appeared from the front of the cobalt blue mecha, and then all the attacking ice cones dodged to the sides uncontrollably, and finally collided with other ice cones, smashing into ice mist all over the sky.

5 seconds…10 seconds…20 seconds…30 seconds…

[Hint: "Mana Essence Extract" has been used, which restores 400 mana points per second for 20 seconds]

[Hint: "Mana Essence Extract" has been used, and it recovers... every second]

Time passed by bit by bit, and the reminder to take bottles of potion rang out. The ice cone storm in front of them seemed to be in some kind of tug-of-war with the crystal gravity spell, giving people a feeling of endless despair.

Bang——! !

It was not until five full minutes had passed in the branding interface that the surrounding ice cones finally shattered into dust in a huge explosion, revealing a scene in the distance:
The pitch-black city wall stood quietly on the ground. At the corner of the wall, tens of thousands of bones were piled up there, contrasting with the snowflakes slowly falling from the sky, giving people a feeling of cold, lonely and desolate.

And on top of the city wall, a figure who looked a little petite, shrouded in a pale hat and tattered robes, was holding a staff that was a little taller than himself, standing quietly in mid-air. Behind him, a series of extremely gorgeous light blue magic circles were quietly rotating.
