Chapter 217 - 217 153 Third Layer of Stone Armor Skill (4000) _1

Chapter 217: 153 Third Layer of Stone Armor Skill (4000) _1 Chapter 217: 153 Third Layer of Stone Armor Skill (4000) _1 With a tremble in his spirit, Casio’s eyes were filled with wisdom.

A sense of harmony spread from his head to his limbs, like a massive spider web extending out, densely covering his arms, feet, waist, and legs.

Whether it was an illusion or reality, he inexplicably felt the muscles and bones on his body becoming more solid, trembling subtly. An unknown transformation was quietly taking shape.

After ten minutes, the white steam that enveloped Casio’s head gradually dissipated, and the blood oozing from his seven orifices slowly dried up.

He calmly opened his eyes and glanced at the top right corner.

“Stone Armor Skill: Heavy Armor Fully Developed (Two Layers +)”

The words “two layers” began to blur rapidly, as if a layer of white mist was covering them. After a second, it became clear again.

“Stone Armor Skill: Heavy Armor Fully Developed (Three Layers)”

This Hard Qigong had evolved from two layers to three after enhancement by the Blood of Spirit, but the plus sign afterward disappeared.

This implied the maximum potential of Stone Armor Skill was the third layer; its foundational structure couldn’t support higher levels.

The third layer of the Stone Armor Skill, called Rock Armor, was divided into Minor Accomplishment of Rock Armor and Major Accomplishment of Rock Armor. As the name suggested, the three layers represented Light Armor, Heavy Armor, and Rock Armor respectively.

The third layer, Rock Armor, had the defense as heavy as rock.

Casio pondered for a moment, and some fragmented details about the cultivation of the Rock Armor level of the Stone Armor Skill appeared in his mind. But these details were quickly becoming blurry, like a waking person forgetting the content of a dream. After making a leap of thinking with the Blood of Spirit and exiting that sage-like state of rationality, Casio naturally forgot a lot of information quickly.

He immediately went to the washroom to wash his face, then hurried downstairs to ask for a pen and some paper for recording from the manor owner, Mian. He then returned to his room.

“Continuous blunt impact can effectively accelerate…”

“The optimal training times are at dawn and dusk…”

“…”

The Yellow Pages had brief sentences written on it.

Casio put down his pen. He had roughly recorded a small part of the information in his mind. This would be very useful for the cultivation of the Rock Armor level of Hard Qigong. Of course, this was a preparatory measure. He wasn’t sure if the Secret Soul power of Black Rain Villa could enhance the Rock Armor level…

This is something Casio still needed to evaluate for his Stone Armor Skill.

While the acceleration of cultivation by Secret Soul power was useful, it could be a double-edged sword – any negligence could lead to an incorrect practice. Not only did it concern the technique itself, but it also hugely concerned the user’s proficiency level in the technique.

Casio didn’t want to cripple himself after a round of practice.

He closed the notebook only to notice some subtle changes appear in the top right corner again. The state of the “Heavy Armor Fully Developed” looked a bit blurry, as if it was going to change into the “Minor Accomplishment of Rock Armor”. But eventually, it failed and reverted to a clear state, firmly indicating his Heavy Armor Fully Developed state.

Casio gave it some thought; the limit enhancement of techniques by the Blood of Spirit seemed to slightly stimulate the state of the techniques. This was most likely because the expansion of his field of view allowed him to view the higher state, which in turn promoted his technique-state.

Without a doubt, Casio was not far from the third level called “Rock Armor”. With diligence in his training, he might be able to make a breakthrough.

Gradually gathering his thoughts, he started to apply an ointment to himself in the room. It was a light red paste that Mian made herself. It was an effective healing medicine for external injuries, and for internal injuries, one would need to take a soaking potion regularly.

Casio applied the ointment to all the injured parts of his body, and immediately felt a cooling sensation spread all over himself. Approximately after a minute, the cooling sensation turned into a searing soreness.

Fortunately, Casio was able to bear it all.

Having spent years practising the Elephant Soul Secret Technique with daily agony, his ability to endure pain was quite high. A little bit of stinging ointment wasn’t a big deal.

After applying the ointment, Casio placed a few items on the table by the window. Golden sunlight came through the open window, carrying the scent of grass and trees, with fresh air flowing around.

A bottle, a piece of parchment, and a broken piece of stone.

The last item, the broken piece of stone, was the target required for the Atonement Mission. Casio just had to take any item from the relic site, and after he submitted it to Black Rain Villa, the Church would be able to identify it.

As for the first two items, they were the False Death Elixir he accidentally got when he came to Jinghu City on a task and unwittingly entered a cave and a relic site.

It was purely a stroke of luck to obtain the False Death Elixir.

Casio, however, went a step further; he not only got the bottle containing the Secret Medicine but also a piece of parchment that might be related to the Secret Medicine. It probably contained the prescription for the elixir.

He couldn’t understand the language written on the parchment, so he would have to go to Warmingda University in Donghai City again to find his old friend, Professor Tennessee.

He believed that Professor Tennessee would be more than happy to help…

At noon.

Casio saw Mian again at the dining table. Surprisingly, she looked more lively compared to the morning. She exuded an inexplicable air of high spirits, as if something delightful had happened.

This happy event, of course, was the Secret Soul power.

They chatted briefly during lunch and began a formal discussion after finishing their meal, sitting on the sofa next to the French window. The main participants of the conversation were Casio and Mian.

Duomeng was there too, quietly listening like a sidekick.

Casio explained in detail about the existence of Black Rain Villa once again and shared some information about the Eerie Night Guest, including the reason why the Eerie Night Guests didn’t have Secret Martial Art practitioners.
