Chapter 52: Advanced Apprentice

As soon as Lu He woke up, he noticed something was wrong. The surroundings were too quiet. In the past, the sounds of various animals and birds filled his ears, but now there was silence.

He opened his eyes and looked around.

The green bamboo walls have rotted away, and a thick layer of black ash has accumulated on the ground.

A gust of cold wind blew, and the door was opened. It shook and creaked continuously. Through the open and closed door, there was an empty and quiet gray land outside, bare and without any objects.

Lu He's eyes changed drastically, and he wanted to get up, but found that he was as if he was suddenly welded to the bed, unable to move, not even lift a finger.

Suddenly, there was a dense crawling sound of insects outside the bamboo house, and rustling sounds came from all directions around the house.

Click!

A white beetle bit through the wall above his head and fell towards his eyes. He wanted to close his eyes, but couldn't move. He could only watch it fall on his eyeballs, and then eat his eyes bit by bit.

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

Then a large number of white beetles fell from the sky, covering his body entirely, and a human figure composed of countless white beetles appeared on the bed.

…

call!

Lu He opened his eyes suddenly, breathing heavily and his eyes were red.

I ran around my body with my hands. Fortunately, there were no bugs. Everything just happened was just an illusion.

"Made, what kind of bullshit meditation method is this? Every time you advance, there are all kinds of weird phenomena. Can't you do something a little more normal?"

"Last time it was a paper man, this time it was a bug, what will it be next time?"

Lu He cursed secretly, this was his choice.

The promotion of a wizard is a breakthrough in spiritual power, so various hallucinations appear. The content of hallucinations is related to meditation and is guided by one's own heart. Simply put, it is the embodiment of the deepest desires of the soul.

He felt that this was brought about by meditation. He had been a good student since he was a child and had a normal psychology. How could there be so many strange things deep in his heart.

Lu He stood up slowly and looked at himself up and down. His body had not changed much and was still as slender and well-proportioned.

Soon he found that his vision had changed. He could see the black coat hanging on the wall behind him, the pattern of the isolation cloth above his head, and even what was behind...

"Mental power breaks through the limitations of the brain!"

Lu He was very excited. He could actually do it before he broke through, but it would require him to take the initiative to release it, and the vision it would give him would be very blurry.

But now after the breakthrough, this situation has become his instinct, and his vision is very clear, not much different from seeing directly with the naked eye.

The next step is to test the changes that the substantial improvement in mental power has brought to oneself.

"First of all, let's try to cast spells after I break through the advanced apprenticeship."

Lu He walked out of the bedroom and went to the bamboo forest outside.

"The first one, the Burning Ring."

Lu He pointed with his right hand, and half a minute later a circle burning with black flames appeared in front of him.

The surrounding green bamboos close to the ring withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into ashes and disappeared.

"The power has not become much stronger, but the casting time has been shortened and the stability has been greatly increased."

It used to take him nearly a minute to cast the Burning Ring, but now it's almost half the time.

"The second one is the sharing of plant lineages."

A stream of magic power centered on him and spread out to the surroundings. The green bamboos swept by the magic power instantly turned into wisps of green smoke, which penetrated into his body one after another. The vigorous vitality flowed in his body, almost overflowing. .

A green bamboo leaf appeared in his hand, and his fingers moved slightly. The next moment, the bamboo leaf appeared on the rock in the distance, more than ten centimeters deep into the rock mass.

"The third one, Hua Guiyan..."

After some testing, Lu He discovered that after this promotion, his mental power had increased significantly, and the main effect was that his spell casting speed had become significantly faster.

In addition, the quality of mental power has changed slightly, which allows Lu He to not worry about insufficient mental power due to continuous casting.

In the test just now, he cast multiple spells in succession, and he is still in high spirits without any trace of fatigue.

The strength has been greatly improved. Although the actual power of the spell has not become much greater, the results are different, just like the difference between a child holding a pistol and a strong man holding it.

"The increase in mental power has led to a slight improvement in the body. However, compared to the mental power, it is still far behind, less than half. It is too weak. We need to find opportunities to transform it."

"Now there are all offensive spells. Well... let's practice a defensive spell before going out."

After saying this, Lu He closed his eyes, his consciousness entered the Eye of Inheritance, and began to select spells.

…………

A week later, lab.

Lu He walked naked into a huge rune formation with a diameter of two meters.

At the bottom of the formation is a five-pointed star-shaped rune, with several metal blocks placed in the center.

As he stepped in, the formation was instantly activated, and pale flames appeared on the edge. The flames gathered along the rune nodes toward the metal block in the center.

Lu He closed his eyes, crossed his fingers into a diamond shape, and the strong pale flames began to burn on his body.

His skin quickly began to turn red, and the several metal blocks in the formation slowly melted, wisps of black smoke rose, some impurities were removed, and finally condensed into a fist-sized dark white liquid.

At a certain moment, Lu He opened his eyes, and the golden light in his pupils flowed and flickered.

The moment his eyes looked at the metal liquid, the metal liquid turned into countless tiny particles. In the burning of the flame, it quickly melted into the skin and entered the body like a drop of water falling into the water.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Lu He maintained this posture motionless, allowing the flames on his body to blend with the metal.

His originally fair skin color began to show a metallic luster as the metal liquid merged.

Finally, the metal liquid in the middle of the formation completely melted into his body.

Lu He stopped inputting magic power, and the formation under his feet also stopped working, and his skin returned to normal.

"The semi-metal transformation of the skin is completed."

Lu He nodded with satisfaction. He selected many defensive spells, but in the end he found that the body transformation was more direct.

It takes time to release spells, and body transformation is a talent that is solidified in the body and becomes instinct.

He chose tungsten-titanium alloy, which he bought online, and then refined it into metal particles and integrated it into his skin.

After the transformation, it is divided into two states: normal and excited.

The skin in normal state is no different from before, and it will automatically defend when it is attacked by external physical attacks.

"Excite with all your strength... Try to defend yourself."

As soon as the voice fell, a series of criss-crossing silver metal lines instantly appeared on the surface of his skin. The thin lines started from the belly button of his lower abdomen and converged at his eyes, forming a strange formation.

Lu He came to the kitchen, picked up a sharp knife, and first poked his arm with a little force.

It was very hard and could not be poked. There was no mark on the skin.

Move away and stab it hard with all your strength.

Ding!

A crisp metal collision sound was heard, and the sharp tip of the sharp knife broke, but there was still no mark on the skin.

Yeah, it's really good!

After getting dressed and going to the bedroom, Lu He took the phone and said in the group x-on:Gun King 001:

"Gun King, where are you? I have made great progress in my skills recently, and I want to test your gun skills."
