Chapter 601: Chapter 251: Close Your Eyes, Cover Your Ears (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_2

From the ease with which the other party effortlessly wielded their metal weapons, Rein guessed that their strength must be considerable, despite their gracefully delicate physical features.

Rein had initially thought that this female Blood Curse Naga, judging from the four weapons she held, might be a close-combat type similar to a knight.

However, he didn’t expect that her Spirit perception would be so sharp, almost managing to detect him just now.

In other words, this female four-armed Naga was not only formidable in close combat but also, as the ancient tomes recorded, likely capable of innately casting water-based witchcraft.

This couldn’t help but make Rein frown!

If he wanted to rescue people, he would have to eliminate this group of Sea Clan in the hall. He was confident about dealing with the White-Scale Fishmen and the male Blood Curse Nagas, but the only uncertainty was this female Naga before him.

Or to say, his current means of combat were still insufficient.

Without hesitation, Rein immediately opened the system panel.

He had originally planned to save up 4 Skill Points and 2 Golden Skill Points to elevate the Intermediate Secret Technique “Shockwave” to an Advanced Secret Skill.

But now it seemed that plan would have to wait.

Because the battle before him was unavoidable and could not be delayed.

According to the ancient records, Ancient Blood Curse Nagas liked to blood sacrifice enemies of considerable strength.

If he went back to call for help and then returned, by then, Alyosha and his captured Imperial comrades would likely have left for the goddess’s embrace.

Just as well, the first Extraordinary Battle Technique on his path as a knight—the Giant Bear Sword Technique—was already half a step away from reaching the comprehension of a secret technique.

Rein was quite certain that with just one Golden Skill Point, he could grasp the secret technique that followed the Glimmering Greatsword’s secret move “roaring strike.”

And the secret technique derived from the Giant Bear Sword Technique’s secret move “roaring strike” also filled Rein with anticipation and conjecture.

Ever since encountering the Blood Curse Naga, if nothing else, Rein might not have gained much, but his efficiency in acquiring Golden Skill Points was indeed high.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he had already earned two Golden Skill Points.

Thus, Rein used them without the slightest reluctance.

Additionally, having the experience of comprehending the secret technique “Shockwave,” Rein knew that executing a secret technique required fulfilling two conditions.

Years of accumulated Origin Force was the first condition, necessary for reaching the minimum Origin Force required to execute a secret technique. However, that condition had already been met by Rein when he previously comprehended “Shockwave.”

At this moment, his Bear King Breathing Technique had reached lv14, far exceeding that condition.

So now, Rein only needed to further deepen his comprehension of the Giant Bear Sword Technique’s secret move “roaring strike,” and finally, to combine both exquisitely, he would be able to successfully grasp and execute the subsequent secret technique.

With the investment of the Golden Skill Points, Rein felt as though he had entered a mysterious space, where he underwent years of training for the Giant Bear Sword Technique’s secret move “roaring strike” in just an instant.

When Rein came to his senses, the system prompt arrived as expected:

[Congratulations, you have comprehended the Basic Secret Technique of the Giant Bear Sword Technique: Roaring Battle Cry!]

Secret Technique—Roaring Battle Cry?

A slight smile emerged on Rein’s lips, which was almost what he had anticipated.

After all, the previous secret move of the Giant Bear Sword Technique, “roaring strike,” could be said to be more of a sound wave attack than a sword technique.

But there was nothing bad about that.

Perhaps, in this stone hall, filled with numerous enemies, a sound wave attack might be even more effective.

Immediately after, the delighted Rein found a new icon located right above the Giant Bear Sword Technique’s secret move “roaring strike” in the Weapon Master (Legendary) panel.

The icon depicted the head of a brawny man with both hands spread wide, letting out a roar to the sky. Around the widely open mouth were several curved lines, seemingly representing the sound wave attacks rushing outward, looking extremely ferocious.

“The icon was a bear head for the secret move, and now that it’s a secret technique, it’s turned into a brawny man’s head?”

“Is this… an improvement in system aesthetics?”

Rein was a bit confused for a moment, as he couldn’t make sense of the system’s aesthetic standards.

He continued to read further.

Just below the icon, there was a line of small text:

Roaring Battle Cry (Basic Secret Technique) Effect: Uses a special technique that combines Origin Force with vocal cord strength to bellow out a powerful sound wave strike, attacking and stunning nearby enemies.

(Note: The power of Roaring Battle Cry diminishes with distance, and it is directly proportional to one’s Constitution.)

(Note: Roaring Battle Cry is a secret technique and cannot be upgraded with Skill Points.)

(To upgrade Roaring Battle Cry to an Intermediate Secret Technique, the following conditions must be met: one, Bear King Breathing Technique lv14 or higher; two, Constitution of 30 points or more; three, spend 2 Golden Skill Points.)

Hmm?

Rein squinted his eyes and immediately fell into contemplation.

“That last sentence is quite interesting.”

No wonder the icon has nothing to do with the giant bear anymore.

The upgrade from the Basic Secret Technique “Roaring Battle Cry” to an Intermediate Secret Technique doesn’t require further advancement in the Giant Bear Sword Technique at all!

It seems that “Roaring Battle Cry” has been refined and elevated to a purer form of sound wave secret technique.

Realizing this, the smile on Rein’s face became even brighter.

This meant that while executing the Tokkal Hammer Technique, he should be able to utilize the newly acquired sound wave secret technique “Roaring Battle Cry”!

Without having to be limited to using the Glimmering Greatsword.

An unexpected joy indeed!
