Chapter 684 - 684 362 Southern Dipper Water Bird Fist (4200)_2

Chapter 684: 362 Southern Dipper Water Bird Fist (4200)_2 Chapter 684: 362 Southern Dipper Water Bird Fist (4200)_2 Perhaps it was because at the birth of the Hong Li Federation, the Holy Spring had worn out and could not serve as the root source of power. After decades, if not the hundreds of years of renewal, the Holy Spring gradually restored its vitality, allowing the Black Mechanism to re-emerge.

This is also the reason why the Black Mechanism of the Federation borrowed the name of that extraordinary organization from the Imperial Period; they originated from the same source of power.

Besides, Casio made another discovery. He had dealt with the Black Mechanism in two different stages spanning a gap of fifty years.

By observing the abilities of regular officers of the Black Mechanism, one could conclude,

The Holy Spring Water which they used was scarce and weak. At least the quantities weren’t really ample, possibly only being supplied to a part of the personnel.

This is also why the combat strength of low-ranked members of the Black Mechanism was not much stronger than ordinary people. Grim Reaper Amos is an exception here. He was not cultivated by the Black Mechanism but joined it later. From the bits and pieces Casio heard, Amos had enormous grudges against the Door Organization with his Door Fragment possibly originating from that feud. Only after that did he join the Black Mechanism, which was opposed to the Door Organization, to seek revenge.

The triple limit secret techniques of Gale and Storm that Amos cultivated may have been in his possession before, independent of the Holy Spring’s power. What needs to be noted is that Amos did not draw on the power of the Door Fragment. He may possess the fragment, but he did not utilize it.

In other words, the Grim Reaper Amos had the strength that could rival the top fighters, all of it painstakingly cultivated by him.

All of the above are Casio’s speculations based on the intelligence on the Black Mechanism and Dark Hunt Mask collected during this period.

Some of the information could be erroneous as it was his subjective judgment and may not be one hundred percent correct.

That’s all the information about the mask.

While it seems detailed, in reality, there is much that is still unknown.

That can’t be helped, as the mask comes from the Dark Hunt Organization of the Hong Li Empire. Such state secret institutions involving supernatural forces are difficult to investigate, even if they are from the past. Casio had to wrack his brains, along with his men and the Treasure Hunters, to scrape together some half-true half-false information from history.

Some Treasure Hunters had even tried to interpret the different patterns on the Dark Hunt Mask to determine its precise timeline, but there weren’t enough masks of the same type for comparison.

The only tentative conclusion is that the mask was a product of the late Hong Li Empire period.

The timeline being roughly one hundred and sixty-five to three hundred years ago, in the final hundred or two hundred years before the collapse of the Hong Li Empire.

As for who the owner of the mask was, finding this out was even more challenging.

However, it was enough for Casio to have the general identity and era of the owner of the antique mask.

After all, other details were just icing on the cake; real strength was what truly mattered. Once one’s strength reached a certain level, everything else would fall into place.

After careful contemplation, Casio stuffed the data about the mask back into the file bag and placed it on the intermediate layer of the bookshelf.

Before going back in time, he still had two things to do.

First, wait for the information on the Legendary Antiques of Firearms.

Casio could only wait for another three days at most. If it still doesn’t arrive, he won’t wait any longer. He originally intended to compare the information on both legendary antiques to determine which one to enter first.

However, the intelligence on the mask arrived earlier. The progress on firearms was slower, and it was uncertain when it would be successful.

Of course, Casio couldn’t keep on waiting. Three days was his limit.

Second, the Wisdom Rune that had accumulated energy again.

This was bad news. Casio had a premonition about it, and it turned out his intuition was accurate.

During the three-day hunting mission, Casio had ordered that creatures were to be captured alive as far as possible, with killing as a last resort.

He could have issued a universal command to capture alive, but doing so would drastically increase the casualty rate among the Black Spade Organization and the Shadowless Organization. Weighing the pros and cons, Casio decided against it.

Nevertheless, many Dark Creatures were captured alive by the Magical Golem Sect. Casio personally killed them.

The Disaster Essence from the large number of Dark Creatures was absorbed bit by bit by the Wisdom Rune.

It quickly reached its full capacity, and even exceeded it.

It has astonishingly reached two and a half full progress bars.

According to the original rules, when returning to the real world from the Era of Retrospection, the Wisdom Rune will be refreshed once again. So, Casio directly tried to use the Spirit Blood of the Wisdom Rune.

However, unfortunately, the whole process failed.

The reason is that the Wisdom Rune had been operating overload for some time previously, and it is now overloaded and needs time to recover. After all, the Wisdom Rune of the Era of Retrospection and the Wisdom Rune of the real world are the same thing. Casio could cleverly exploit the loopholes of the software, but he cannot exploit the loopholes of the hardware.

The hardware is there, it’s the basis of everything. Once it’s worn out, it’s worn out, it can’t be refreshed like software.

The Wisdom Rune is now in this condition.

During Casio’s last retrospection, he used the Wisdom Rune too savagely. If it were two or three full progress bars, that would be okay, it wouldn’t affect the reuse in the real world.

At that time, he was in a life and death crisis, recklessly deciphering the Secret Martial Art of the demon idol almost hysterically. By constantly absorbing the impending disaster essence of the demon idol embryo, he quickly filled up the progress bar of the Wisdom Rune. The demon idol is one of the five ultimate forms of darkness in the timeless disaster, and its disaster essence is very rich. It directly filled the nine progress bars of the Wisdom Rune.

This has led to nine super overloads of the rune, and Casio used nine units of Spirit Blood.

Returning to the real world, the Wisdom Rune is already worn out and temporarily unable to extract Spirit Blood, It requires time to recuperate.

Casio had no choice but to take the disaster essences to the Devil’s Book for absorption, in exchange for a question. And using the Devil’s Book will bring bad luck to the owner, Once Casio asks his question, he will fall into an extremely unlucky state. This condition would last for quite a long time, possibly about half a day, or it could be a full twenty-four hours.

He hated the feeling of being targeted by the world.

However, the question Casio wants to ask this time is very important.

That is, the specific location of the Southern Dipper Water Bird Fist?!

Just like when he asked about the Southern Dipper Sonic Snake Fist previously, Casio felt that if he asked the Devil’s Book the same type of question, there would likely be an answer. He was about to enter the Era of Retrospection, even if he encounters danger, it won’t necessarily be fatal, it’s the perfect opportunity to find the third Southern Dipper Boxing Method. Casio highly values the Southern Dipper Water Bird Fist.

Even though the lethality and aloof personalities in his body have achieved balance through the Southern Dipper Fist, this is not the perfect state that Casio imagined. The perfect form of the three methods and three personalities should be a triangle, with each corner very strong.

Rather than the current situation where the two split personalities are strong but the main personality is weak.

This is a deformity, and it might be risky in the long run.

Casio needs the third Southern Dipper Fist to support the foundation of the main personality, thereby achieving true balance in personality.

In addition, the Resonance of the Southern Dipper Fist is another reason.

He reached twice the normal cultivation speed of Southern Dipper Fist through the resonance of the South Dipper Red Vulture and Sonic Snake Fist. What if he masters another one? Perhaps it can be enhanced to three times.

You have to know that when Casio reaches twice the speed, he can break through the body’s acupuncture points steadily in one to two months. If the two-fold is increased to three-fold, this time will be directly halved.

If he practices for two or three years in the Era of Retrospection, he might be able to reach the fourth and fifth stages of various special forces.

Which is the level that Feng Liusi once reached.

The force is so strong that it can’t be suppressed, where the palm touches, it decomposes. It was not until he forced himself to adapt for a long time that he stabilized.

As a cultivator of the Southern Dipper Fist, Casio naturally longs for it. In fact, he has an advantage over Feng Liusi. That is, after the resonance of the Southern Dipper Fist, they all rise together, if his Deathfang Power reaches the fifth stage, then the Sonic Snake Force will naturally reach the fifth stage. If he gets the Southern Dipper Water Bird Fist, then it would be three special forces reaching the fifth stage together. Just thinking about this terrifying scenario makes one’s heart tremble, as if a surge of blood is rushing through one’s body.

Leaving the fantasy and returning to reality. The first step to acquire the third Southern Dipper Fist is to get information about Southern Dipper Water Bird Fist. Casio plans to use the Devil’s Book for this, for that, he needs to choose a good place.

A desolate suburb, with sparse population, flat terrain, and a wide field of view. Casio wanted to see how he could still be unlucky when he had come this far?! Let the Devil’s Book give him more natural disasters and man-made calamities!

Casio thinks that he will surely win this round!
