Chapter 051 The old man is very bad
Now Ryan and his team are located in the middle of the mountain road. Whether they retreat to the "Golden Outpost" or continue to move towards the "Glorious City", the distance is almost the same.
The beautiful countess had no intention of canceling the trip and returning, so the team continued on its way.
Fortunately, although most of the members of the "Mountain Antelope Regiment" were injured in the beast tide last night, except for two seriously injured ones, almost all of them were able to walk without any problems.
…
Breakfast was a sumptuous barbecue, with bear meat and magic wolf meat filling up several large iron racks.
Everyone ate until they were greasy and started a new day.
The unconscious savage girl was tied up and hung on the spider motorcycle, swaying like a bait on a fishing line.
Ryan heard from Uncle Sam that the barbarians in the "Forest of Ashes" were extremely hostile to humans and could be fatally dangerous if not handled with care, so tying them up was the best option.
Hearing this, Ryan felt it made sense. It would be strange if people would have a good attitude towards invaders.
The team walked on the rugged mountain road, and could see the messy footprints of monsters all the way. The "beast tide" last night left a mess in the forest like a mountain torrent.
Ryan and Uncle Sam followed the spider mechanical car so that they could protect the Countess in the car as soon as possible.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Ryan always felt that Sam’s eyes looked at him strangely early in the morning.
Look, the usually quiet Sam actually came over and started chatting.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he naturally asked about the battle last night, and praised exaggeratedly: "Oh... Doctor Ryan, you are amazing! You have mastered the 'Iron Mountain Backrest' in just two days. Your talent in martial arts is really amazing..."
"I'm not as great as the uncle said..."
Hearing this, Ryan was modest and responded with the words he had prepared long ago: "The situation was critical last night. I don't know why, but I suddenly felt that I had understood everything and did that. It was purely a coincidence..."
There is nothing wrong with this.
If Sam hadn't been paying attention to the entire battlefield, he would have believed it.
It is true that people may perform beyond their capabilities under stress. But in the situation last night, he saw that Ryan did not panic at all. You told me that he was in a state of calm and ease, and that was a stress reaction?
"Haha, it's pretty amazing anyway..."
Sam had a frivolous smile on his face, and he didn't dwell on it any further, just saying a few useless pleasantries.
Ryan listened and always felt that there was something strange about this uncle.
At this time, Sam seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked at Ryan and said, "Doctor Ryan, didn't you ask me before whether it is possible to take into account the advantages of the two sequence branches of the fighter, [Qigong Master] and [Martial Artist]?"
Ryan was a little confused, not knowing why he suddenly did this, and asked in confusion: "Yeah. Didn't you say no?"
"hey-hey……"
Uncle Sam scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly: "The 'impossible' I mentioned before was for ordinary people. But if you are a martial arts genius, it is actually possible."
"ha?"
Ryan felt that his words seemed to have a hidden meaning.
Could it be that the martial arts genius he was talking about was me?
There is no such thing as a genius... It was just the dream of the "intelligent brain" that gave him more time to practice hard.
As expected, Uncle Sam explained: "In fact, the biggest essential difference between the two sequences of [Qigong Master] and [Martial Artist] lies in the amount of muscle and fighting spirit."
After a pause, he continued, "But if there is a transcendent of the [Qigong Master] sequence who can train his muscle strength to be stronger than that of the [Fighter] sequence, reaching about 1.5 times. He will be able to take into account the advantages of burst, skills, and endurance at the same time..."
"Ah, how is this possible?"
The more Ryan listened, the more confused he became.
It's not like he hasn't fantasized about this possibility, but it's actually impossible.
He asked again, "Didn't you say before that the [Qigong Master] series of potions do not focus on absolute muscle strength growth? No matter how exaggerated the awakened power is, it is definitely impossible to be stronger than the [Fighter] potion of the same quality, not to mention 1.5 times..."
"Yes, I did say that."
Uncle Sam paused for a moment, keeping it a secret, and then added: "But I also said that the potion is just the beginning."
Ryan thought of something and guessed: "You mean... there are other ways?"
"Um."
Sam nodded, his eyes turned, and he continued, "In addition to potions that can increase human attributes, extraordinary people can also increase their strength through practice. For example... some secret method of body refining."
"Secret method of body refining?"
Ryan had heard of it, but had never come into contact with it.
Esoteric techniques, like high-quality potion recipes, are generally in the hands of top nobles and top extraordinary people.
In the past, when it came to the "Weasel Gang", it was heard that the leader Quinn had practiced a secret method to increase agility, which made him as fast as a ghost and his body could burst out with speeds far exceeding those of his peers.
At this point, he suddenly understood, stared at Sam in surprise, and asked, "Uncle...you're not saying that you know the secret method of body training to increase strength?"
"Actually... my family passed down a secret method of body refining."
Sam probably felt a little guilty about making up a story, and his expression was a little strange: "The reason why I was able to fight against that level 3 Exploding Demon Bear last night was actually because of that secret method."
As he said this, he added in his heart: That would be strange.
Anyway, he also felt that there was nothing wrong with Ryan's current level, so he would be right no matter how he boasted.
"Oh, I see..."
Ryan found this very reasonable.
If it wasn't for some secret method, how could Sam, a third-level [Demon Hunter], wrestle with the "Exploding Demon Bear" who was known for his strength expertise and win.
However, this kind of secret method is generally not passed on. Even if someone practices it, they will not mention it to outsiders.
Ryan guessed: Now that the uncle said this, could it be that he saw that he was a so-called "martial arts genius" and wanted to take him as his disciple?
He looked at Sam, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "Uncle Sam, what are you doing..."
Sam smiled slightly and said the words he was expecting, "I saw last night that you have great talent in martial arts, so I thought I would teach you this secret method."
Ryan swallowed, feeling as if he was hit on the head by a gold brick: "Ah..."
Sam changed the subject and explained, "I didn't tell you before because my secret method is 'very difficult' to practice. It's impossible for ordinary people to get started. Unless you are a person with excellent martial arts talent, it will be useless ."
Ryan suddenly felt something was strange. Wasn't Uncle Sam bragging about himself?
Since this uncle knows this family secret technique, does that mean he is actually a "person with extraordinary talent"?
Uncle Sam felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like that, and he also understood the teasing meaning, so he said truthfully: "Don't look at me like that... My martial arts talent is just average."
“…”
Ryan rolled his eyes and said faintly, "Uncle Sam, I think you may have some misunderstanding about the ..."
Before, I said that your martial arts skills were mediocre, but you ended up killing a Tier 3 Exploding Demon Bear alone without taking any damage.
Now you say "talent is mediocre"?
I don't believe you, the old man is very bad...
