Chapter 219 The Power of Totems!
Is there any particular reason for this?
Xiao Yu examined the pattern, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Of course!"
Xue Donglai didn't rush to explain. Instead, he exerted his strength, and the ferocious beast pattern tattooed on his body seemed to come alive instantly, slowly wriggling on his skin.
Those ferocious beastly eyes grew even more menacing and tyrannical.
Xue Donglai's aura also jumped from the early stage of the seventh rank to the late stage of the seventh rank.
"Such a miraculous effect?" Upon seeing this, Xiao Yu's expression turned slightly serious.
"Hoo~" After demonstrating the power of the totem, Xue Donglai's face seemed a little pale. He took a few deep breaths before speaking again.
"Lord City Lord, you must have seen it as well. This is the power of the totem."
As long as the blood of the ferocious beast is refined using a secret method.
By using the blood of a ferocious beast to inscribe a formation on human skin, one can obtain a portion of the beast's power...
Even... some of the special talents of ferocious beasts!
"This method is indeed truly marvelous!"
After hearing Xue Donglai's explanation, Xiao Yu couldn't help but admire him.
He suddenly realized something and asked in confusion, "This is somewhat similar to orcs. Since they have such methods... why would the Firewood Group use such a brutal method to train orcs?"
Those beast-eared girls from Sixi, June, and Seven Kills, weren't they just using the power of ferocious beasts?
However, the two situations are completely different.
The way orcs are born is akin to being worse than dead.
Xue Donglai, however, appeared to be perfectly normal!
According to the two temple envoys, the Firewood Group has been searching the continent for exceptionally talented children to fuse with the power of ferocious beasts.
For this reason, they have openly and blatantly abducted children from those tribes countless times.
What happens if the child's parents resist desperately during this process?
The power he gained was incomplete, wild and uncontrollable—how ridiculous!
"Lord City Lord, the two are completely incomparable!"
Xue Dong shook his head self-deprecatingly, lowering his head as he pondered how to phrase it. "Strictly speaking, we all borrow the power of ferocious beasts! However... the totem secret technique is also extremely difficult to master, requiring extremely high array formation talent and an extremely strong physical body."
As he said this, he puffed out his chest slightly, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.
"Moreover... the power of totem is a one-time use."
It's still an inanimate object; it can no longer increase its power!
Furthermore, the power gained is extremely limited.
On the contrary, the fusion of humans and beasts can grant unimaginable power.
As your strength increases, your innate abilities will become even stronger.
And...most importantly, future generations will also possess this power, passing it down through generations.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu finally understood.
The goal of the Spark Group should be to cultivate a force that can be passed down.
Instead of this... one-off, or even a weakened version!
This power might already be quite formidable for the City of Ruins.
However, for Xinhuo Group, this may still not be enough.
This also shows that the City of Ruins is still insignificant in front of the Spark Group!
"Young City Lord, what is your purpose in telling me all this?" After hearing Bai Xue Donglai's words, Xiao Yu looked at the white-haired youth in front of him and asked with a smile.
"Hahaha... Lord City Lord, you are truly a man of few words!"
Xue Donglai laughed heartily, puffed out his chest again, and said proudly,
"In that case, I won't hide anything anymore. That mysterious array master is none other than my master! Since the city lord is a master blacksmith, he naturally understands the art of arrays as well. And this totem secret method is essentially inscribing arrays on the human body. You might find it interesting!"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of animal skin paper from his pocket and solemnly handed it to Xiao Yu with both hands.
"This is..." Sensing the other party's seriousness, Xiao Yu immediately stood up and solemnly accepted it as well.
He opened it and his eyes immediately lit up.
Just as he had guessed.
The gift Xue Dong mentioned earlier was this totem secret method!
"Could this be..." Xiao Yu hesitated.
To be honest, it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted after learning about the effects of this totem magic.
The power of this totem really needs to be explained.
It's like a person who originally only had a strength of 1,000 jin.
After obtaining the power of the totem, one will have the strength of 1500 jin or even 2000 jin!
That's equivalent to doubling our strength!
If he learns the totem magic, could he give all the Dragon City warriors a tattoo?
At that time... the strength of each warrior will increase by one or two times!
There's even a possibility of acquiring the talents of a powerful, ferocious beast!
However... it's not his style to accept favors from others for no reason.
"Lord City Lord!"
Xue Donglai suddenly bowed deeply to Xiao Yu, and said sincerely:
"Your Night-Shining Dew and Bodhi Fruit have been of great help to my father's injuries, and... you were able to give us an extra three days' journey, so... this is just a small token of my appreciation! And..."
He scratched his head apologetically and laughed awkwardly.
"My talent is limited. My teacher only gave me the first stage of the totem secret technique. Even if the city lord learns it, he can only inscribe tattoos on powerhouses of the first to third tiers. It is not very precious."
but...
"If you wish to learn the later parts of the story, Lord, I will find a teacher for you once we reach the City of Ruins."
Originally, Xue Donglai was somewhat hesitant.
This is a treasure his teacher taught him, saying it shouldn't be passed on to just anyone.
but...
The blacksmith academy I saw when I came in, and the newly built Dragon City Academy...
These things made Xue Donglai feel very high-end!
With such a city lord, the future of Dragon City is unimaginable.
Therefore, he really wanted to get along well with Xiao Yu.
If... Xiao Yu becomes his teacher's disciple, then he will be Xiao Yu's senior brother!
From now on, won't the relationship between Dragon City and the City of Ruins be like an ironclad fortress?
"Only levels 1-3?" Xiao Yu's heart stirred slightly.
For Longcheng now, that's enough.
Thinking of this, he looked at Xue Donglai and cupped his hands, saying, "Since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony!"
He keeps refusing good things; that's not like him!
As Xiao Yu spoke, he glanced down at the animal hide and said, "After leaving the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, I will go to the City of Ruins. I am indeed very interested in the entire Totem Secret Technique."
It can help Xue Donglai advance from the early stage of the seventh rank to the late stage of the seventh rank.
Such a secret method is something to look forward to.
Of course... he was more interested in the teleportation array of the City of Ruins.
If we could establish teleportation channels between all the major cities, wouldn't that enable long-term trade?
Next, to express my gratitude.
Xiao Yu also gave Xue Donglai two Bodhi fruits and a thousand drops of Night-Shining Dew.
Anyway, these things don't mean much to him.
After seeing Xue Donglai off from Dragon City, Xiao Yu began to study the totem secret technique.
The animal hide was covered with dense, ancient characters, and looked very old.
"Is the writing on this animal hide actually a small array?" Xiao Yu stroked the animal hide and was surprised to find that there were subtle energy fluctuations on it.
