Chapter 72 You Need More Than One Chain, You Need Several
After the pain that seemed so deep that it made his soul tremble disappeared, Gulard's mind went blank. He even felt that he had lived for tens of millions of years and all his emotions seemed to have been erased by time.
Only after hearing Mo Cheng's words did Gulard struggle to stand up. His consciousness and memory all returned, and he even felt refreshed.
"This is……"
He lowered his head and looked at his hands. His muscles were strong and tight, and beneath his hands was hidden the power enough to crush human bones. It was as if he had been reborn. Even the stench in the air became heavier.
Gulard frowned, and tried hard not to think about the scene of his men removing feces, fearing that his brain would give him a high-definition picture to appreciate.
Strength, speed, and perception were all improved. Even the barrier between the fourth and fifth steps, which was like a natural barrier to Gulard, was weakened invisibly.
Gulard was trembling with excitement. As a person who had lived on the streets since childhood and even fought with wild dogs for food, he knew better than anyone how precious power was. If he had power, he wouldn't have been the gang leader in Fairhaven while sending his wife and children to live in hiding in a village in the suburbs.
The excitement of being given power, and even the anger and resistance towards being forced into a slave contract, were reduced a lot without him noticing.
"I'm about to start expanding here, and I'm short of staff. Please ask your family members to come and help when they are free. I'll pay them according to the market price."
Although the words were spoken in a negotiating tone, the meaning was unquestionable. Gulard knew that this was to ask them to hand over the hostages to prevent some people from being too desperate and doing stupid things.
"Yes, Master!"
Gulard lowered his head deeply. He could not resist the man in front of him. At the same time, he knew very well that if he left his wife and children in Albert's House, they would be safer than in that village.
At this time, everyone else also looked at Mo Cheng, their eyes full of desire. If these gang members wanted to live well and protect their own interests, they could not avoid the word "power".
Only by having power can you collect protection fees in more places, and get discounts or even free meals when shopping in various stores. The status among gang members is also displayed nakedly through power.
As slaves, they also wanted to be treated the same way as Gurad, and of course it would be even better if it was less painful.
"Go and take down the two surrounding streets. I will personally baptize the two with the best performances."
Mo Cheng still understood the principle of using a stick in one hand and a date in the other. He also knew that if everyone was treated the same, it would not serve the purpose of role model and motivation.
"Clean up the ground and leave."
After the people from the Key of Erosion cleaned up the filth in the church and left, Mo Cheng sat on the bench and thought quietly. At the same time, he took out a notebook and wrote in block fonts that no one could understand.
"There is no obvious error in the training method of using holy flames to burn the flesh. It is generally working well, but the internal parameters need to be adjusted."
The method that Mo Cheng used to burn Gulard with holy flames came from the unique method of physical training of the Paladins of the Church of Light. Highly concentrated holy light formed a flame, which then passed through the body - or more accurately, through the nose, like smoking, and a wisp of holy flame was inhaled into the body.
That ray of holy flame will greatly damage the internal body of the body, and the highly concentrated holy light power will heal the body while destroying it. With the cycle of destruction and healing, the body will achieve spontaneous over-compensation, thus forming an enhancement.
This is a physical training technique that tests one's will extremely hard. One must endure the pain of having one's body burned and destroyed, and then regenerated. One cannot pass out, scream, or lose control. It is a treatment like hell.
But it should be noted that even among paladins, only ascetics and specially authorized paladins are allowed to use this method.
In addition to the precise control required to absorb the Holy Flame, you must also avoid inhaling too much and setting yourself on fire.
Also, it is difficult for ordinary paladins to resist the obviously enhanced temptation, and the prohibition of absorbing only one ray of holy flame a day is easily forgotten.
The consequence of that would be the appearance of a huge holy torch. If one was unlucky, not only would one burn oneself to death, but the paladins or priests around one would also be ignited.
For Holy Flame, Holy Light is like a fuel.
A tragedy once occurred in the Church of Light. It was caused by a student with extraordinary talent and extreme affinity for Holy Light. His restless heart, typical of young people, caused him to ignore the ban on one ray of Holy Light a day and began to absorb excessive amounts of Holy Flame.
The consequence was that an entire grade of Paladin students were burned by the Holy Flame of that student during training. They all turned into torches and were burned to ashes.
From then on, the Church of Light directly listed the Holy Flame Body Tempering Technique as a forbidden technique, eliminated all sources of information, and only taught that such a thing existed and informed people of the consequences of going berserk.
Anyone in the Glorious Church who wants to watch and practice must undergo a psychological investigation and be approved before they can watch.
The enhancement that Mo Cheng gave to Gulard was a prototype developed based on the same idea, using some replaceable materials as lower-level configurations.
The combination of holy light and fire element, although not pure holy flame, can still allow Gurad to persist without losing consciousness and running away after the concentration is reduced. The fire element burns the body, and the holy light heals and repairs, forming an amplification like super compensation between the cycles.
Of course, the strengthening power of this Pinduoduo version cannot be compared with the genuine version. The genuine version is used by the seventh-level Paladin to strengthen his body.
But it is just right to use it to strengthen Gulard.
"Slave contracts are not a panacea. We need other means to prevent the contract from being broken one day."
Mo Cheng stretched lazily. He was worried about the dog being tied with only one chain, so he planned to add another chain.
And this strengthening technology, which was modeled after the Holy Flame Body Tempering Technique, is the second chain.
If there is no Holy Light in the body of the person practicing the Holy Flame Body Tempering Technique, then as the physique strengthens, the body will become extremely craving for Holy Light, similar to a state of hypoxia.
The more you practice the Holy Flame Body Tempering Technique, the greater your thirst for the Holy Light. Once you are unable to come into contact with the Holy Light for a long time, you will be like a fish out of water.
The most serious sequelae is that the nutrition and energy provided by the body are unable to support the actions of strengthening the body. The body directly absorbs all the energy and nutrition and becomes a dried-up corpse.
"Holy Light needs to understand truth, goodness and beauty, and to understand what mercy is. If you are truly willing to turn back, I'm sure the light will not reject you."
"Life and death are in your hands."
