Judging from Kent's pronunciation, "Grand Knight" and "Grand Duke" are two new words. Victor felt they were very familiar, but he couldn't remember the meaning of these two words for a moment.
Of course, Victor often experiences deja vu, which is almost a common symptom of amnesia patients. Everyone is used to it, and no one thinks there is anything special about Victor's question.
Gladiator Kent replied casually: "Those are the titles Peter gave himself. One seems to mean 'soldier on horseback', and the other seems to mean 'ruler of the arena'."
Victor immediately showed a suspicious look, he always felt that something was wrong, but Kent did not forget the original intention of this conversation, which was to clarify the ins and outs of the "Shadow of Dreams", so he brought the topic back to himself.
"Master, every famous gladiator has his own title. I am called 'Blood Fist Kent', but those who bet on me losing the match will laugh at me as 'Bloody Fist Kent who wets his pants'."
"What? 'Pants-peeing Bloody Kent', ha...oh, this is really too bad." Harvey next to him still couldn't hold it back, and finally hugged his belly and laughed wildly: "Ha, ha, ha...
Sorry man, this is so funny..."
Victor couldn't help but smile, and then said seriously: "Because of the stain of the first gladiatorial match, you have always held a grudge against the Orc Butcher?"
The gladiator slave was silent for a moment, then nodded vigorously and said: "I had two wishes when I was at my peak as a gladiator. One was to go back in time and have another fight with the butcher who scared me to wet my pants; the second was to challenge
Grand Duke Peter, Champion of the Arena...I never thought that my first wish would come true in another way today."
Kent has thick short tawny hair, a beard, a medium build, regular facial features, and an ordinary appearance.
He was not what he is now.
Kent used to have a bald head, missing ears, and scars all over his face and body. One of the scars split half of his face, which shows how badly he was injured at the time. But this was not the most serious injury. His chest
There were scars from six penetrating injuries on his abdomen. God knows how he survived.
Gladiators are a very dangerous profession. According to Kent, he participates in an average of 2-4 games a year. In almost every game, a gladiator dies on the spot. If a ten-year life cycle is calculated, one hundred gladiators
No one among them could survive. For every thousand gladiators, about two or three could survive.
Kent is one of them. He is always hovering on the edge of life and death. He is physically injured and mentally injured, but the fact that he survives is enough to explain everything. The body undergoes adaptive changes, and the mental body also shifts and acquires new abilities.
balance.
To put it simply, if a gladiator has not died in battle or gone crazy for a long time, his body and mind will become different, but in the process of transformation, they may need an obsession to anchor their mental state and avoid it.
Collapse before regaining balance.
Kent's obsession is the Orc Butcher he met in his first gladiatorial fight.
Victor pondered and asked: "So... Chief Split Rock's will to kill has stimulated you?"
"Yes, Master." Kent nodded and said with a stern expression: "The killer's will to kill is like a poisonous snake sticking to your neck. You can't move. If you move, you will die. That feeling... I dream about it almost every day Yes, there are thousands of ways to beat him."
Victor smiled and said: "Very good, we have discovered the first key point, which is the so-called 'trigger condition'... So, how did you feel at that time?"
After thinking carefully, Kent murmured: "I felt like something in my body was ignited... Then, my internal organs, bones, flesh and skin all melted and disappeared, and time became very slow and almost stopped; and I became very light, like a weightless ghost, without any restrictions... I could even see the back of Chief Split Rock's head."
Victor thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, let's call this 'spiritual detachment' for the time being, and 'spiritual perception' that is different from the five senses... I probably have some ideas about this. In addition, I Another question, under the circumstances, how do you think you would attack Chief Split Rock?"
Kent shook his head and said: "I thought that striking the back of the Rock Chief's head was the most effective way to defeat him, and then I 'saw' the back of his head... At that time, I had a strong feeling that as long as I took action, I would be able to defeat him." I could hit him in the back of the head, but I didn’t know exactly how to do it, I had no idea at all...it was very strange.”
Victor took a breath. He clearly remembered the confrontation between Kent and Quel'n'Gara. Kent was still a real half-elf and had not really turned into a ghost. Even though he saw it through "psychic perception" The back of the Orc Butcher's head still requires your own hands to hit the vital part of the opponent's head.
What Kent seems to mean is that if he wants to shock the Orc Butcher on the back of the head, his body will take corresponding action, and it will definitely come true.
How is this possible?
Quel'n'Gara is not a dead thing. He has a strong body, powerful talents, and superb fighting skills. He can dodge, parry, and counterattack. It is hard for Victor to believe that the Orc Chief would allow Kent to hit him. The key to the back of the brain.
The strength gap between the two sides is too big, even in the "Shadow of Dreams" state, Kent is still in trouble.
Harvey, who was in the audience, didn't believe it either. He said bluntly to Kent: "I think you are daydreaming, and then you sleepwalk to hit Quel'n'Gara in the head!"
Dreaming? Sleepwalking!
An idea flashed in Victor's mind, and he murmured to himself: "Of course sleepwalking is nothing special, but what if the prerequisite for sleepwalking is to completely master the 'Heart of the Mirror'?"
According to known sayings, "Mirror Heart" is the premise of "Dream Shadow", and "Dream Shadow" is the premise of "Soul Body". These three spiritual realms are in the same vein.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The so-called "mirror heart" means that the mind is like a mirror, not only reflecting everything about itself, but also reflecting the outside world without missing anything. For example, a person looks in the mirror in the utility room
When he retreated to the door, he could avoid the bottles and jars at his feet and retreat accurately, taking no more steps and no more steps.
Victor once couldn't tell the difference between the "fire of the soul" and the "heart of the mirror". He is now able to understand that the "fire of the soul" uses the soul as a torch, illuminating itself first and then the outside world. Therefore, "
"Inner Fire" is better at controlling oneself. For example, when injured and bleeding, it can stop the bleeding by contracting the muscles near the wound; or it can instantly simulate violent, violent, crazy, bloodthirsty and other combat states.
"Mirror Heart" can never control itself as finely as "Soul Fire". But in terms of psychic perception, "Mirror Heart" has more advantages than "Soul Fire".
Therefore, "Mirror Heart" has to rely on "Dream Shadow" to make up for its weak combat ability.
The biggest feature of dreams is the high degree of freedom in mental activities. You can think of things you normally wouldn’t dare to think about, and do things you wouldn’t normally dare to do, making the impossible possible.
Combined with the advantages of "Mirror Heart", the "Dream Shadow" imagined by Victor is the supernormal state after breaking the limitations of the mind and releasing the seal of the body.
"You all come here, let's do an experiment!" He jumped up, called Harvey, Kent, Herman and Mowgli to come to him, and then ordered: "Harvey, it's you."
"Okay, what does Victor want me to do?" the shield guard asked excitedly as he geared up.
Victor looked around and chose the thickest jujube tree nearby. He walked over, patted the trunk, nodded with satisfaction and said, "I want you to punch it with all your strength... others should observe carefully."
This jujube tree is as thick as a person can hug it. The tree is so dense and tough that ordinary lumberjacks may not be able to cut off the trunk even if they chop it with an ax hundreds of times. Harvey stood in front of the tree, took a deep breath, and used the combat breathing technique.
Mobilizing his inner potential and integrating external forces, he stepped forward and twisted his waist. His muscles worked from bottom to top, exerting force layer by layer. He threw out a fierce jab that blasted the air like thunder, and hit the tree trunk heavily.
A loud "click" was heard, and the thick jujube tree broke in the middle, falling to the ground with splinters of wood and smoke.
Victor nodded repeatedly. The force of Harvey's blow was in the tons, far beyond the limit that a mortal could achieve. Even a third-order dragoon would not be able to achieve such a high level.
Harvey's modified body is not inferior to the third-level dragoon or the third-level ferocious warrior. This is of course the basic condition. The key is that he has ignited the fire of the soul and is proficient in the combat breathing method to exert extraordinary power and punch.
Destroy the tough jujube tree hugged by one person.
If you were an outsider, you would definitely be shocked beyond measure by Harvey's "magic power". But among this team, no one would find it strange.
Kent, Herman, and Mowgli can also achieve this level, but Victor cannot. He has not yet ignited the fire of his soul, and it is difficult to break a thick jujube tree with one blow.
"Good job." Victor praised, then turned around and led everyone out of the woods to the wilderness outside. There were many rocks in the wilderness, so he found a giant rock that was nearly two people tall and turned around.
Harvey said: "Punch this stone in the same way and with the same force."
"Okay!" Harvey agreed without hesitation, then adjusted his condition slightly, and then did the same to the giant granite, punching with a loud bang, and hitting the stone with his fist, making a muffled "bang" sound.
There was a sound, and the boulder weighing more than ten tons shook, leaving a crack and pit the size of a fist on the surface.
Harvey's cracked hand bones and torn flesh healed quickly under the action of the living sticky threads, and they were restored to full health in the blink of an eye.
"Compared with his first punch, do you think the power of this punch has changed?" Victor turned to the others and asked.
Giant Mowgli was the first to answer: "The power of Harvey's second punch was at least 20% less than the first punch."
Harvey nodded immediately, frowned and said: "Yes, after the hit, I also felt that the force was obviously reduced... It's strange, the same way of exerting force, why is this happening?"
Victor smiled slightly and said confidently: "The so-called unity of body and mind is the close combination of physical strength and spiritual power. But if you look at it from another perspective, the unity of body and mind also means that the body is a shackles of the soul, and the soul is also the body.
The shackles." He patted Harvey's shoulder and continued: "When you hit a stone, your fist must be very painful... This is normal. A flesh and blood body will bleed, be injured, will be necrotic, and everything else.
The law of life imposes restrictions on the body. Pain is a warning from the body to the mind, telling you that your fist has been injured, so don’t hit the stone with so much force. This is the shackles of the body on the mind..."
"Although you have undergone a thorough transformation, your body strength has been greatly improved, and you are not inferior to the dragon-veined half-elf. You have also been strengthened by the secret snake touch, so you don't have to worry about injuries at all... You know all this, but you still subconsciously restrain yourself.
Strike force. This is the shackles of the mind on the body..."
"Kent!" Victor shouted suddenly.
The gladiator slave shook his head, returned to reality from his thoughts, and said hurriedly: "Master, what are your orders?"
"You go try it too and let us see how far you can go?" Victor pointed at another boulder and said with shining eyes.
Kent walked up to the boulder solemnly, his sharp eyes quickly turned blank, and there was no movement or posture on his part, and he suddenly punched out like lightning.
With a "pop" sound, the surface of the boulder was unscathed, but then a crisp "click" sound was heard, and spiderweb-like cracks quickly spread on the surface of the rock. Although the giant rock had not completely disintegrated, it was
Sooner or later.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Harvey was stunned, and Kent himself was also surprised.
Victor looked at the spreading fist seals and saw the destructive power, so he nodded and said: "If igniting the fire of the soul can unleash 100% of the power, then mastering the 'Shadow of Dreams' can unlock 2% of the power."
One hundred, three hundred percent potential, or even ten times the potential... Moreover, it is not only the potential of the body, but also the potential of the mind, which can make people faster, stronger, incredible, and extraordinary.
Imagine!”
"I...I don't seem to have grasped it?" Kent looked at his hands and said uncertainly.
Victor shook his head and explained: "You just haven't fully mastered it, but you have indeed reached the realm of 'Dream Shadow'. I believe that 'Dream Shadow' is more than a leap-forward improvement in strength, speed and combat skills.
It definitely has more features and capabilities waiting to be discovered."
"After all, there is a 'soul body' behind the 'Dream Shadow'."
Victor couldn't help but be fascinated when he said this. After a moment of silence, he asked: "The man who created the 'Heart of the Mirror', the 'Shadow of the Dream', and the 'Body of the Soul' is really an amazing genius... Do you want to hear this?"
Have you told him?"
The two alchemy demons shook their heads together. They only had broken and incomplete memories and could not provide specific information.
After Harvey thought for a while, he said: "We can find a way to check, such as looking for my former instructor in the legion, if he is still alive..."
At this time, Kent suddenly interrupted Harvey. He pointed to the southwest and said to Victor: "Master, I feel there is danger coming towards us over there."
Victor looked along the direction indicated by Kent and found several small black dots in the sky flying quickly towards this direction.
