YM778.TV Chapter 544 Convenient
The first point was aimed toward the mention of \'warped\' in its title. This technique was able to cause a sink of energy at a single point. This sink would result in a strong pulling force toward its surroundings, causing a difficult to resist suction.
The second point was in the concentration of its explosion. This suction effect was as a result of the decreased range of the overall explosion, at least in the initial stage.
The combination of the two had a greater effect and was at least 20 to 30% more deadly.
As Ryu expected, the instant the next stage\'s spirit felt threatened, [Warped Corpse Explosion] was used. Ryu was able to predict this and have his Middle Skeleton Warrior anchor itself in place with its spear.
The winds whipped about in all directions, Ryu\'s hair flying along the sides of his face as it along with his robes were all pulled toward the same direction. However, it was a simple matter for Ryu to prepare for something he could already anticipate.
Like clockwork, the Middle Skeleton Warrior respectfully brought over yet another scroll for Ryu to take a look at.
At this point, Ryu couldn\'t help but question the intentions of the Martial Gods. Was this how they usually stored their techniques?
In his life, Ryu had long since become used to reading techniques with the help of jade slips. Not only were they far more convenient than scrolls, they should also, theoretically, be capable of housing far more information.
However, until this point, Ryu hadn\'t benefitted from a single technique that didn\'t come from one of these scrolls. It was either that the Martial Gods didn\'t know about the convenience of jade slips or there was another reason entirely.
Ryu\'s initial thoughts was that they did this so that Ryu would be forced to imprint the technique onto his mind using the scroll\'s mechanism. That way, they would always have a way to monitor him—something that Ryu had long since learned how to work around, especially now that his Mental Realm was so much more powerful.
But, Ryu was familiar enough with jade and its uses to know that the same thing could be accomplished with them as well. In fact, it would be even more convenient.
This was because with a jade slip, Ryu would have to sink his mind into it no matter what, there was no avoiding it. However, with a scroll, he could always just casually glance at it. It was almost like the Martial Gods were purposely handicapping themselves.
Ryu didn\'t feel he had enough information to understand why it was that they were doing this, so he simply slot it in at the back of his mind. It was an odd detail he just couldn\'t quite wrap his head around. With that thought, he opened the new scroll.
[Summoning Corpse World].
Ryu raised his brow. A Corpse World was something that all high level, elite and genius Necromancers had access to. It simply made things too convenient. Not only could one retrieve their corpse puppets without having to physically touch them, it could also nurture your puppets as well. And, of course, the higher quality your Death Qi, the better your Corpse World would be.
A Summoning Corpse World seemed to have all the same benefits but could also act as a gateway between your body and the Nether Realm. This allowed your Summons to travel back and forth at a much lower cost to yourself as long as you tagged them previously.
Before this, Ryu had never bothered to tag his Skeleton Warriors and simply summoned them randomly. That was because they would all be Lower Skeleton Warriors anyway, there was no need to pick out one over another.
Now that he had a Middle Skeleton Warrior, however, this would likely become his first tag and thus his first true Summon. Thus, it might make learning [Summoning Corpse World] worth it.
That said… This wasn\'t why Ryu would really learn it should he care to. The truth was that with the Inner World of Ryu Heavenly Pupils, all pseudo world techniques like this were just low level to him. He had never taken any time to foster the Inner World of his Mysteries of Heaven and Earth Pupils, mostly because he had no real need to and it wouldn\'t become useful for a long while. But…
If he could use [Summoning Corpse World] to mask his use of spatial qi, it would make battling far more convenient. That way, he could summon weapons, corpse puppets and his beast companions freely and with ease without constantly having to hide his methods.
\'Convenient.\' Ryu nodded and memorized the technique.
All the scroll techniques were in the form of formations. But, for Ryu, decoding them wasn\'t much of a problem.
Once he was finished, he moved on to the next. As he did so, Ryu realized just how good a time these techniques had come in. With his explosive increase in strength, he knew that he would have to find new techniques for himself eventually. He couldn\'t help but thank the Martial Gods for being such good helpers.
He would be sure to let them know when he killed the last of them.
The next technique—[Sacrificial Escape]—was one Ryu didn\'t even bother to take another glance at. He just tossed it into a spatial ring and ignored it.
It allowed one to sacrifice the life force of their own body to both harm an enemy and allow their soul to escape. Ryu had not a single intention of ever using such a technique.
Unfortunately, it was the beginning of a string of techniques Ryu had no interest in. The pattern continued until Ryu reached the seventh spirit and gained [Reanimation]. He had almost tossed it into his ring as well before he was forced to give it a second look.
