Chapter 131: Additional Ability of the Healing Talent

Hum!

Ji Ye arrived at the shooting range to find Ling Zhen shooting at the target on the other end with a Frost Iron Cannon that was set up on the ground.

A blueish-grey cannonball propelled by the red gunpowder was Elder Jiao’s newest invention. It moved much faster than that of the black gunpowder, and even though Ling Zhen didn’t activate his air manipulation ability to accelerate it, the power of the cannonball had already reached a level above Extraordinary Rank-4.

Pa!

The metal cannonball became boiling hot from the heat of the explosion, and it hit the target, which was in the shape of a full golden armor, a hundred meters away accurately.

Boom!

Unlike the black cannonball before, which depended purely on the physical impact, the blueish-grey cannonball exploded within a second after the impact. It then burst into hundreds of light blue metal shards, which flew everywhere.

The glamorous golden armor was heavily damaged, and even the ground and trees within a certain range were affected, and the sharp metal pieces had buried deep into them.

It was a submunition Ling Zhen created in the past few days; it somewhat resembled a grenade used in modern wars.

Theoretically, with the small caliber of the Frost Iron Cannon and the current technology of the Twin Dragon Mount, they wouldn’t have been able to build a modern firearm like this.

However, after the battle with the Metal Men, the special material they obtained from the blue light bomb flying daggers made such a cannonball possible.

Crack!

However, unlike the bamboo armor before, which fell to pieces when hit by the cannonball, although the golden armor used as the target was covered with marks from the double strike of the submunition’s sharp shrapnels, after a closer look, one could tell that the attack of Extraordinary Rank-4 or -5 didn’t change its shape much. None of the metal shards created by the explosion were able to penetrate the armor.

It was a Wild-Goose Soft Golden Armor made from the metal cut off from the golden octopus together with the Silver Liquid, and it was able to disperse the impact of the attack away from the spot and even thin it out to the entire armor.

“If we pair it with an Extraordinary shield made of the heart of the red wood, even an Extraordinary Rank-5 long-range attack won’t be able to pose any real threat to it!”

The speaker was a tall man, whose face was dotted with pockmarks that looked like the pattern of a leopard, and the big round tip of his nose only accentuated that leopard-like look. He was walking toward the armor.

It was none other than Tang Long, the seventh hero that was summoned to the Twin Dragon Mount, and the blacksmith who was nicknamed “Gold Coin Spotted Leopard”.

His muscular chest was bare, and he wore a pair of silver gloves on his hands, which were the most eye-catching feature about him. It was in stark contrast to Ling Zhen’s tanned arms.

When he reached out to touch the golden armor, blue light flickered on the silver gloves before it flowed into the armor.

Crack, crack…

All the metal shards stuck to the golden armor were immediately pressed out, and the damaged places were as good as new.

“HA! I did it, Master.”

Seeing Ji Ye arriving with two guards, Tang Long looked delighted. He then held the armor, which withstood the grenade attack, with both hands and gave it to Ji Ye for inspection.

[Wild-Goose Soft Golden Armor]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-5]

[Rarity: Excellent]

[Description: An armor forged by combining gold alloy with the Silver Liquid, and it possessed a great defensive capability!]

The armor was able to withstand the direct attack of the cannonball because it was able to disperse the concentrated impact to the entire armor.

Theoretically, it wasn’t just limited to cannonballs. It could also disperse the impact of gun bullets.

In terms of defensive capability, it was even better than the Rare red wood shield.

After all, the latter was still wooden, and it wasn’t as resilient as metal.

The only problem was that the armor built from pure metal had quite a significant weight. This Extraordinary Rank-5 armor was over 75kg.

The only people in the Twin Dragon Mount that could still fight normally after putting on this armor were probably Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Ji Ye, who had abnormal strength!

“Commander Tang, you can build a few more sets of soft golden armor. Please try to make sure that all commanders get a set before our battle with the Eagle Men starts! The armor can render their rune arrows useless!”

Ji Ye told Tang Long.

That golden octopus was enormous, and it contained enough gold alloy to build several dozen sets of soft golden armor!

Moreover, even if it was used up, it wouldn’t be a problem, because Ji Ye could find out the components of the material after he fused it. Theoretically, just like the Soul Fluid in the Soul race’s settlement, the gold alloy could be found in the Metal Men’s settlement as well.

Moreover, ordinary Commander heroes wouldn’t have the need to use the 100 kg armor yet. That way, they could reduce the weight of the armor by lowering its grade from the Extraordinary level.

“Yes, Master!”

Hearing that, Tang Long replied while patting his chest with his gloved hand; the look on his face was reverent leaning on obsequious.

It would take an ordinary blacksmith at least a few months to build a set of armor like this, but after fusing with the silver liquid, Tang Long could build the armor swiftly with the ability of the gloves.

As a matter of fact, that was why Tang Long had arrived at the Twin Dragon Mount.

With the Silver Liquid, the hero, who was already an Excellent Earthly Fiend hero, had part of his capability raised to the Superior level, just like Ling Zhen’s assault capability was!

“Commander Ling, how’s your wound doing?”

Ji Ye recalled what he was here for when he saw Ling Zhen, the Heaven Shaking Thunder.

He then walked up to the hero, whom he had appointed to be in charge of the firearms.

Ji Ye was planning to categorize the summoned heroes by their professions.

For instance, the settlement soldiers addressed both Tang Long and Ling Zhen as Commanders, whereas Ninth Uncle and Gongsun Sheng were misters.

Only Yang Zhi and the other two were given the title “Commanders”. Because not only were they used to be commanders of the Twin Dragon Mount, but they could also lead soldiers in battles.

“I feel better than yesterday.

“But I still can’t control the cannon barrel!”

Raising his tanned arms, Ling Zhen looked distressed.

The Metal Men’s blue light bomb daggers were incredible weapons, and the Twin Dragon Mount lost over a dozen elite settlement soldiers during the battle that annihilated the Metal Men.

Even Ling Zhen, the Commander hero, had some tiny metal shards impaled in his most important arms when a flying dagger controlled by the Metal Men exploded at close range when he was firing with the Frost Iron Cannon.

Right now, the pain was unbearable whenever he held the cannon barrel in his arms, which greatly affected his accuracy. He could only switch to setting the cannon on the ground.

Such a wound was beyond Ninth Uncle’s medical skill.

Had he been a common settlement soldier, they could still turn to the last resort and cut his arms off.

After all, with the black mud from the Sludge Monster’s settlement, even severed arms could grow back.

But Ling Zhen’s strong arms had gone through years upon years of cultivation. If they really chose to cut them off, the new arms would temporarily lose the ability to withstand heat.

It would affect his combat ability significantly.

Before, Ji Ye couldn’t think of a solution and could only wait and see if they could obtain suitable offerings to summon An Daoquan, the “Divine Physician”, who was theoretically the Earthly Fiend that could have Superior quality.

However, now that he had fused the Healing talent, he could give it a go first.

“I’ve just comprehended a new ability that should be able to treat your arms. Commander Ling, would you like to try it?”

Ji Ye looked at Ling Zhen.

“It’ll be my pleasure! Master, please go ahead!”

Ling Zhen’s face lit up when he heard those words.

It had been a while since he arrived at the Twin Dragon Mount, and he knew perfectly well that as the Chosen One, the master was more powerful than all the heroes. He had to be very confident to make that statement.

“Heal!”

Ji Ye held Ling Zhen’s hands, then he activated the Healing talent that he had just obtained.

Immediately, a pale grey light shone on Ji Ye’s hand, and it reached out to Ling Zhen through his arms.

Crack, crack, crack…

The next second, all the tiny pieces of metal that were buried in Ling Zhen’s arms were squeezed out of his flesh. The bleeding openings immediately closed and healed in the pale grey light.

When they studied the metal shards created by the blue light bomb flying daggers after the battle, they found out that they were actually created by the electromagnetic power that was activated by the Silver Liquid on them.

But the Extraordinary Silver Liquid didn’t have enough penetrating power. Instead of going into his body, they were stopped by Ling Zhen’s arms. Therefore, strictly speaking, the wounds inflicted by the metal shards were Ordinary level only.

Therefore, Ji Ye didn’t have to do much before Ling Zhen’s wounds were healed by the pale grey light.

“Well, I didn’t know that it could work like that…”

Ji Ye had only used this talent for the first time, but he had an unexpected discovery.

As the healing pale grey light expanded, he could sense all kinds of physical information of Ling Zhen.

It included Ling Zhen’s physical structure from head to toe, his bone shape, the position of his internal organs, the composition of his blood…

He could even sense the circulation of Ling Zhen’s inner strength and the special property of his arms, as well as the extraordinary ability to control the air that Ling Zhen obtained when he fused with the heart of the Mirage Monster Commander’s heart when he was summoned here.

“It’s not just a healing skill. It could dissect and detect as well!”

Ji Ye didn’t let anything show on his face.

But deep down, he was amazed.

Strictly speaking, the Fusion talent could do far more than simply fusing, because he could also comprehend the principal of the fusion in the process. He could understand every aspect of the object he fused, and he was even able to find the true meaning of the Nine Yang Divine Art from the Nine Yang Art.

As an inherited talent, it was obviously more powerful than the additional effect of the Healing talent.

However, the Fusion talent could only work on objects that belonged to him, and he couldn’t possibly get information from other people.

But the Healing talent gave him the opportunity to secretly find out everything about another person by using the healing process as an excuse.

That would make it very useful.

It didn’t take him long to heal Ling Zhen. Everything was done within half an hour.

In fact, the actual treatment only took him less than two minutes, and he actually spent the rest of the time inspecting Ling Zhen’s body so as to be more familiar with his new talent.

Hum!

Right before he was about to heal Ling Zhen, the Temple of Providence next door was suddenly filled by a yellow light.

Two small yellow providence dragons floated in midair in the hall while chasing a few balls of light that looked like dragon balls. They looked very happy!

“Is the upgrade completed?”

The crowd in the shooting range watched them in amazement

After obtaining and devouring the settlement cores of the Forest Monsters and Metal Men in succession, the human settlement core had reached Extraordinary Rank-4.

Theoretically, it would further speed up the growth of the resources, and the levels and qualities of the resources would improve as well.

However, such changes all required some time. Now that the upgrade was completed, the first thing Ji Ye planned to do was a sacrificial ritual.

However, it wasn’t to summon an individual hero but a special Extraordinary army that belonged to the Twin Dragon Mount.
