Chapter 24 Training and Experimentation

For the vast majority of ordinary people in this world, runes are just symbols with symbolic meaning.Even those wise men who have studied the true meaning of the runes for many years can hardly use this power.

The energy of the runes is mysterious, powerful and restrained, like some kind of strategic deterrent weapon created by human beings through alchemy after many epochs.It has the ability to destroy a city, but if you don't enter a password to activate it, it's just a piece of scrap metal.

El is lucky, he has the "Inception of Rune" insight, which is the first condition to unlock all other rune secrets. But his problem is that his cultural level is too low to understand the code.

Fortunately, he now has a group of passionate young people who can use them for experiments. The ancient sages said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth. This principle is the same no matter where it is.

In the early morning when the sun was rising, young Xi tribe mercenaries lined up in a column in the wilderness outside Istaren City, carrying logs on their shoulders and running along the Huishui River.They were sweating profusely, their faces were flushed, and they were shouting hoarsely. They were exhausted but dared not stop.

When they came out in the morning, they made a bet with Al that if someone couldn't keep up with the same running exercise, they would have nothing to eat when they went back.

Unexpectedly, this bastard simply ate some breakfast, and recovered most of his energy as soon as he left the city. Now even if he is said to be a beast in human skin, no one will believe it.

"Speed ​​up! Are you hungry or have you vented your energy on the girls?" El also led the team with a log on his shoulders.The logs exuded a faint scent of orange fruit. After the logs were transported back, they just needed to be dried to disperse the moisture. Er simply asked them each to carry one.Although the [-]-jin log is not heavy, it is not so easy to carry it for several miles.

Saying such words from his standpoint once again dealt a severe blow to everyone's self-esteem. Driven by the anger in his heart, the speed of the team really accelerated a bit.

"Your basics are too poor, and you have no training at all. The boss told me that before this, you were all rookies who had just made their debut, and you hadn't even seen blood. But it doesn't matter, let me beat you up every day, and you will soon be able to Practice it. What? You said you don’t want to be beaten? Then be obedient to me! Whoever is not convinced, I will beat him until he is convinced, understand!"

El patted George on the shoulder, motioning him to lead the team to continue running back.I followed behind the team, and saw some unlucky guy staggering, almost unable to keep up with the team, so I rushed forward and kicked his ass hard.

Amidst the screams of that unlucky guy, El patted him on the back silently, and a phantom-like rune fragment flashed away in his hand.The guy who was kicked suddenly rushed to the middle of the team screaming like a chicken blood.

The ninth rune sequence is called "Waltz", which means growth.Enchanters stimulate the magic power hidden in the production materials through the magic patterns derived from them.But based on El's experience, this power should also be able to work on the human body.Through his insight into the runes, he was able to imitate a little bit of the appearance of the growth runes.

After a whole day of experimentation, El was pleasantly surprised to find that he could indeed arouse the power of the growth rune in this way. Although this method was not rigorous or even unreliable, it at least proved that his idea was feasible.

Through the Eye of Reality, he clearly saw that when the growth rune was photographed inside the human body, the energy in the person's body immediately experienced explosive growth.

It's like pouring a spoonful of kerosene on a fire that is about to go out, and the burst of fire at that moment can increase the energy in the human body by more than three to five times.After that, this power slowly fades away and slowly disappears in the body following the flow of blood. During this process, the better the body, the longer it lasts.

El's intuition realized that this should be an immature method to stimulate the potential in the body, similar to the "muscle explosion" fighting technique of some powerful fighters he had heard.If I can have more opportunities to experiment and have a deeper grasp of this rune, perhaps this kind of stimulating potential will last longer and longer, and even achieve a permanent improvement!

At noon, El returned to the business with his experimental product. The young people who had been squeezed to the limit of their physical strength stepped into the gate of the backyard, and immediately fell to the ground like dead dogs, with their mouths crooked and eyes slanting, foaming at the mouth. .

"The advanced predators in the forest don't bother to eat animals as weak as yours. Do you know why? Because there is no chewing head, everyone."

Al gritted his teeth. Even from his perspective as a big hunter, these soft-legged shrimps were not worth hunting.

"Damn it, El, were you raised by a bear?"

Kevin, who was lying at El's feet, couldn't help spitting, and struggled to the side.Al is still carrying the log without changing his expression, occasionally turning around on his shoulders.If it weren't for the sweat on his body, no one would know that he had exercised just now.

"This strength is nothing to be proud of. If you can follow my command and train for a period of time, you can reach this level." After a day of beating with sticks, El decided to give some sweet dates.

"Come on, if you can teach us all to this level, what do you do for nothing?" George said with a sneer, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Seeing everyone's disbelieving eyes, El smiled slightly, and stood on the ground with the log on his shoulders.The [-]-pound tangerine wood is only two meters long, and the mouth of the bowl is thick and thin, standing up like a chopstick.

"Great strength and a strong body are not considered skills. Anyone who is full will be strong."

El stabilized the log, weighed his feet lightly, his body became as agile as an ape in an instant, and rushed to the top of the log in twos and threes.Without any support, the log he stepped on with one foot stood motionless on the spot.Standing on the log, El did a backflip lightly, spun three times in the air, and fell back to the ground steadily.

The young people gasped, and couldn't help feeling their backs tingle.Strength can still be exercised, but if this kind of agility is not exercised from an early age, at their age, they will not be able to learn it no matter what.

I actually provoked such a monster, and now I think about it, I am really scared... However, El does have real skills in his hands. If he can really learn a few things from him, where will he not be able to hold his head up in the future?

Several young people who wanted to understand, looked at El with fiery eyes.In this world the strong are always worshiped, and it is never a shame to submit to the strong.

"Then, call me the boss, and let me see how much potential you have!" El leaned on a log, tilted his head and showed a smile that could easily generate a sense of trust.

"Boss! You will be my boss from now on!" Kevin jumped up suddenly, and ran into it, shouting, "Boss, I'll cook for you!"

"Bastard! This foodie! Let him take the lead!" It took a while for the young people to react, shouting and jumping up, and after a while of noise, they slipped away.

It's really troublesome to train these idiots... El smiled wryly and shook his head. He was not good at it in the first place, and his motives were not pure.

He raised his head and saw Tika looking at him with a smile on his cheek.

"It's so majestic, Mr. El." Tika raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled.

"Go back and lie down, and I'll fix you at night." El threatened viciously.

She didn't dare to tease Al anymore, and said honestly: "Mr. Jupiter will go to him after he asks you to come back."

Al rubbed his nose and coughed awkwardly.He was about to introduce his daughter to him yesterday, but he messed around with the girl at night, which made him a little ashamed to face it.

Fortunately, the old businessman didn't mention this at all.While El was still immersed in the gentleness, the business firm under Jupiter had already started to operate quietly.After less than half a day, his capital chain was filled.As long as the old businessman is relieved, with the contacts he has accumulated over the years, the recovery of the caravan is just around the corner.

After the meeting, the old businessman didn't mention his daughter anymore, but asked El if he needed money now.El's pocket was emptied yesterday, and now that he is relieved, of course he must return part of it first.

El thought for a while, and although the old businessman could gain more income in the future by keeping the money in the hands of the old businessman, he is now empty-handed and needs to buy some things. I opened my mouth and took some.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so El asked the old businessman about the rules in the city. He planned to take a walk in the business district and take a serious look at the city.
