Chapter 56

When Ryan and Roger returned to the hotel, the blood on their bodies was dry and sticking to them was uncomfortable.

After washing in the room, I finally feel refreshed.

It was late at night, and even the people who played cards all night in the hotel were almost asleep, but Ren was very energetic and did not feel sleepy at all.

He lay on the bed, repeatedly thinking about the battle just now.

The biggest gain tonight is the increase in soul power, and the battery capacity has more than doubled!

Recently, I have continued to meditate for several days, and my soul power has improved, and my battery has probably increased by one bar.

This is already considered a very high meditation efficiency, but compared to directly absorbing the soul, it is like a turtle crawling, extremely slow.

Looking at the 31% battery, Renn is very happy. It is easier to improve his strength than expected. If he can do it a few more times, the battery will be fully charged soon, reaching the second level, and the new demon soul will be fused again.

He turned over and stood in front of the mirror to observe his soul.

The tree of the world in the soul has obviously grown a bit taller than before, and the trunk is also much thicker, with infinite vitality.

Ren's attention fell on the three pale golden leaves, each of which had an elemental rune, representing "strength", "man of steel" and "metal touch" respectively.

The three elements have also changed slightly, the leaves have become wider, and the rune graphics have become clearer.

However, they seem to be far away from strengthening again.

At the same time, Ren opened the unreal interface of the phone and found three icons corresponding to the elements. Since the successful transformation of the soul, the new abilities and elements obtained will be displayed on the phone.

The same is true for the elements of fusion with demon souls.

This is the first time he has carefully looked at the icons of the three elements, side by side, the abstract icons are almost the same as the elemental runes on the leaves.

Because the three elements are in a permanent state, they are always on.

"Huh? What is this?"

Ren suddenly discovered that the two elements of strength and the Man of Steel had a horizontal line under the icon. Because they were too small, they were ignored by him before.

The length of the horizontal line is the same as the width of the icon, and the overall color is gray, with a small section at the left end that is green, like some kind of scale.

Ren recognized it immediately.

"progress bar?"

He immediately focused his thoughts on the "strength" element, and the icon was slightly enlarged in front of his eyes, so that he could see clearly that the horizontal line was the progress bar.

Moreover, a small number "2" appeared on the progress bar.

Man of Steel elements only have progress bars, no numbers.

With such a comparison of differences, Ren understood that the "2" means that the strength element has been strengthened once, while the Man of Steel has not been strengthened.

He recalled the contents of the Book of Thousand Souls, the physical elements are usually exercised by himself, or combined with the same elements to superimpose and strengthen, once the strength is successfully strengthened, the level will be raised by one level.

Secret method elements can be put into the soul power to increase the power, which is called the number of rings, from one ring to nine rings.

The supernatural element is the most special. Physical strength and soul power can be activated and used, but they cannot be actively strengthened. There is only a chance to strengthen each soul transformation ceremony. There is neither a level nor a ring number.

When Ren got the power element, it had already been strengthened once, and now it is a second-level "strength", which is still a common element.

The Man of Steel is still at the first level, but it is a transcendent element.

Metal touch is a rare element, but because it is a supernatural ability, there is no progress bar.

He carefully observed the two progress bars, and found that both the strength and the steel body, the progress was very low, perhaps less than one-twentieth, and it was far from being upgraded.

"Is it so difficult to upgrade the elements?"

Ren scratched his head and focused on the icon for a few seconds. Suddenly, a transparent upward arrow appeared next to the icon, which looked like a button.

He subconsciously chose the arrow of the Man of Steel, and his thoughts fell.

There was an immediate change in the soul, the whole World Tree was trembling, from under the tree roots, colorful energies spread along the trunk, flowed to the only branch, and finally entered the leaf with the elements of the body of steel.

The leaves emitted a golden light, and the elemental runes on them became more and more clear.

On the phone interface, under the icon representing the Man of Steel, the progress bar was moving forward with difficulty.

"So it can be strengthened like this!"

Ren was overjoyed, and then found that the power of the mobile phone was dropping, and the speed was extremely fast, almost consuming one bar of power every second.

In just a few seconds, the power dropped to 25%, but the progress bar of the Man of Steel didn't rise much.

"I go!"

"The consumption of strengthening elements is too much!"

Ren felt something was wrong and stopped quickly.

He could feel a little change in his body, and it seemed to be a little harder when the Man of Steel was activated. The body becomes stronger and the strength has improved, which can be seen from the progress bar of the "strength" element, and the two complement each other.

"It's good to have an improvement, but the price is too high..."

Ryan looked at the 25% battery and felt a headache. It was obvious that the battery was different from the usual consumption, and it would not automatically increase after a rest.

Of course, the decline in battery power is not because the soul has become weaker, but because the soul power has been transferred and integrated into the body. The overall soul strength remains unchanged, and the world tree representing the power of the soul has not shrunk.

Six bars of power, the improvement to the body of steel is really insignificant.

After careful comparison, he found that the progress of the Man of Steel has only increased by about 3%, which means that even if one hundred cells of electricity are used to strengthen the Man of Steel, the progress bar can only increase to half!

With a full battery, you can be promoted to a second-level wizard.

Ren was very speechless, and finally understood how difficult it is to strengthen the transcendent elements.

After thinking about it, he decided to try strengthening the power element, and pressed the arrow next to the power icon, the battery immediately dropped crazily, and the leaf with the power element began to glow.

The progress bar under the icon is advancing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the rise is much faster than the Man of Steel.

Five seconds later, the battery dropped to 20%, and Ren stopped again.

He estimated that the five bars of electricity probably increased the progress bar by one-tenth, that is to say, only 50% of the electricity is needed to increase the power to the third level.

Compared with the Man of Steel, strengthening the strength is much easier.

Ren felt that his strength had become stronger, and he got up to get the warhammer, which was easier to hold in his hand than before, and the weight was just right.

"Not bad."

Ren put down the warhammer in satisfaction, and will increase the power factor first when he has the opportunity in the future.

As for the Man of Steel, wait until you have spare soul power before thinking about it. At present, you still need to upgrade the level of the wizard and integrate more demon souls.

After consuming a lot of soul power, his body became stronger, but his mind was a little tired, so Ren fell asleep without any further tossing.

It was dawn after a few hours of sleep.

Ren got up to meditate as usual, and then went to the back yard to exercise.

The improvement in strength can be said to be immediate. The two 1,000-pound iron blocks became a little lighter, but he quickly adapted to the strengthened body, sweating profusely.

Just halfway through practice, Ren heard footsteps coming in.

"It's you?"

It was Pollock who came, and his face was very surprised. No wonder he felt that the extraordinary man with the hammer looked familiar last night, so he had seen it before.

Ren put down the iron block in his hand and greeted, "Captain Pollock."

"I remember, your name is Ryan, right?" Pollock couldn't help looking Ryan up and down.

In just a few weeks, Rennes has changed a lot. Not only has he grown half a head taller, but his body has also become firmer and stronger, and his temperament has changed dramatically.

If it wasn't for his good memory, he almost thought he had misidentified the person.

"Ren, have you become a superhuman?"

When Pollock saw the two thousand pounds of iron at Ryan's feet, he actually wanted to ask what extraordinary profession Ryan had, with such terrifying strength.

As a fourth-level ranger, he couldn't even lift a thousand-pound piece of iron.

"Yes." Ren nodded slightly and asked, "Captain Pollock, are you here to see Master Roger?"

"That's right, this is Master Roger's bounty." Pollock had inquired in the hotel just now and knew that the legendary witcher lived in the back yard. He picked up a bag on the handle and sent out a gold coin collision With a loud voice, he asked, "Is the master there?"

Ren looked back at Roger's room, and there were two voices coming from inside, and Teresa was also there, obviously it was inconvenient to come out now.

So he said: "Master Roger hasn't woken up yet, you may have to wait."

"It doesn't matter."

Without the slightest impatience, Pollock looked at Ryan and offered to invite, "Ren, are you free now? I'll buy you two drinks."

"Okay." Ren happened to have something to ask the other party, "You go to the lobby first, and I will come after cleaning."

Not long after, the two sat down at a table in the corner of the hotel lobby.

Pollock lit a cigar, took a deep breath and exhaled the smoke, and said seriously: "Ren, we cleaned up the vampire's lair last night, and we have almost checked it."

"That high-level vampire is the owner of the clothing store. He usually disguises himself very well. He has been lurking in Longshande for many years and killed at least 300 civilians. They are responsible for many disappearances. We have also tracked them down for a long time, but they Their actions were very covert, and they only attacked poor areas, so they didn't pay attention."

"If it weren't for you, I don't know how many people would have been poisoned by the devil. You have saved many lives."

There was respect in Pollock's eyes.

Ren shook his head and said, "It's all thanks to Master Roger. I just went with him without putting in much effort."

"You don't need to be modest." Pollock laughed. "You killed those vampires and two ordinary vampires. I still have this vision."

Ren didn't make any excuses, the characteristics left by the Warhammer killing were too obvious.

Pollock didn't mention the vampire anymore, but asked curiously, "Ren, how did you meet Master Roger?"

Ren replied half-truthfully: "It's just that they are all staying at the Basil Hotel. Master Roger needed help last night, so he called me."

"Really, then you are very lucky." Pollock obviously did not believe Ryan's words.

He has been in Longshande for so many years, and he is still the captain of the Demon Elimination Bureau. He has never even seen a few legends. Ren has just become a superman, and he has a relationship with a legendary powerhouse. If he says he is not envious, he is deceiving himself. .

Any legend is eligible to enter the Imperial Council, the pinnacle of imperial power.

Pollock had never heard of the name of Master Roger before, but he did not dare to underestimate it. It is not uncommon for legends to act low-key like this, but he is ignorant.

Ren took two sips of beer and asked casually, "Captain Pollock, do your demon squad usually have heavy tasks?"
