The Origin of Arcane

Chapter 6 The Brand of Fire



Four hundred and ninety-eight, four hundred and ninety-nine, five hundred... Huh... the last group is left.

Xiao En suddenly stood up from the water, breathing greedily, the steaming hot potion slid down his uneven muscles, the temperature of the potion was astonishing, his skin was dark red, just like a roasted crab.

If judged from the point of view of bodybuilding, Sean's figure is not perfect, the neck is too short and thick, the muscles of the forearm and calf are too developed, giving people a feeling of imbalance, the waist is too thick, the upper and lower parts are like one body, there is no With the beauty of a bee waist, if he participates in a bodybuilding competition, he must not be a bodybuilder.

In the eyes of a sensible person, Xiao En's body structure is full of advantages, and he was born to fight and kill.

The short and thick neck makes it easier for him to defend his vitals. This is one of the most fragile and vulnerable parts of the human body. It is not only the main channel for breathing, but also the main channel for blood supply to the brain, but it is only supported by a fragile spine This means that either it is not attacked here, and once it is attacked, it is often fatal.

The well-developed muscles on the forearm give him an amazing grip, the well-developed calf muscles endow him with strong explosive power, and the thick waist allows him to coordinate up and down, and at the same time, it also has terrifying explosive power.

This is the biggest difference between the hunting process and the exercise in the indoor gym. The former exists for hunting and killing, while the latter exists for aesthetics.

However, compared to Marshall who is not far away, who is also bare buttocked, Sean is still good. Because of his height, Sean is still slender. The muscles are almost jumping out from under the skin.

The other half-sized children have more or less muscular outlines, but most of them are concentrated on their legs, which is the basis for their survival in the mountains and forests.

Except for Marshall who was able to keep up with Sean's training rhythm, the rest of the people had already been squeezed out of their last ounce of energy, lying there without even the strength to speak, but from their envious eyes, Sean and Marshall were their Chase the target later.

It has been a week and a half since the bear hunting. They stayed in the bear hunting ground for three days. They processed most of the valuable materials on the spot and lightened the load as much as possible. Those three days were the best memories of this group of half-children. One of the three days, because they can relax and eat meat in limited quantities.

The soup and wild vegetables are not counted. In three days, they ate nearly 1,500 pounds of bear meat. On average, each person ate more than their own weight in bear meat. vividly.

Sean and the others didn't go directly back to the village, but in a private hunter's lodge ten kilometers away from the village.

Perhaps because he has too many secrets, Sean prefers this place to his home in the village, where he can do whatever he likes freely—as for these children, they have followed Sean since they were sensible, and their words and deeds Behavior has long been assimilated, no matter how weird things are seen since childhood, they will naturally become accustomed to them.

After eight years of construction and development, this place has long been separated from the vassal of private hunting lodges - ordinary hunter lodges do not have vegetable gardens and wheat fields, nor special storage rooms, steam rooms, research rooms, training rooms, and engineering workshops.

Sean and the others built this place as their secret base. The dream of a child in the previous life had never been realized in this life.

After regaining his breathing, Sean took a deep breath, returned to the bathtub, and started a new round of counting.

one two three……

In this breath-holding situation, time became very slow, and his facial features became very sharp. Sean could even hear his own heartbeat clearly. He just remembered that it was not the seconds, but the number of his own heartbeat. As time went by, The heartbeat became slower and slower, and at the same time became stronger and stronger, like a drum, bombarding his chest with a dong dong.

One hundred and ninety-eight, one hundred and ninety-nine, two hundred... here we come.

By the time he was two hundred, a qualitative change that only Sean could experience was taking place in his body, his heart and blood vessels.

The strange flaming brand on Sean's right hand resurfaced again, but this time it didn't disappear in a flash, but continued to flash, and a series of fiery red blood vessels began to emerge, spreading upward along the arm—the direction of the heart.

The temperature of the potion around Sean's arm was decreasing at an alarming rate, as if the heat of the potion was being sucked away by the flaming brand.

The same is true.

What was sucked away by the flame-like brand of Xiao En's right hand was not only heat, but also other substances. The original turbid potion was becoming clearer and clearer. In fact, it is now in the final stage. At the beginning, the potion was half In a solid state, the temperature is as high as more than 80 degrees, and ordinary people come in and cook it half-cooked.

five hundred!

Sean stood up again, no more, no less, exactly five hundred, and the bath water had become normal temperature and very clear.

The bath water steam bath made from the bear bone secret medicine has been completed for an hour.

Sixteen weeks of intensive strength training completed.

This training cycle has accumulated 0.45 attribute points, strength 0.15, agility 0.05, constitution 0.1, intelligence 0.05, will 0.05, and perception 0.05.

Currently the main attribute is strength 1.8, agility 1.75, constitution 1.65, intelligence 2.65, will 3.15, perception 2.85.

Please choose a new training mode - regular training, intensive training, extreme training.

Intensive training.

Please choose the direction of training—strength, agility, physique, intelligence, perception.

strength.

The strength-intensive training mode has been selected. On the first day of the first week, run 30 kilometers at variable speeds in the mountains, eight sets of standard leapfrog jumps (200 reps each), eight sets of standard bench press (200 reps each), one 150 meters and 8 sets of 3-section shots (50 sets per set), steamed in bath water made from bear bone secret medicine for one hour.

The flame-like brand did not disappear, but a translucent screen the size of a head was projected, and a large number of mosquitoes and small characters cascaded past. Both the translucent screen and the characters were all made up of small twisted flames.

The situation at this moment is very strange, but it is not surprising that both Sean and the children taking a bath in the nearby bathing pool have seen it before. The younger child exclaimed with envy, It's amazing.

The brand of fire.

This is what Sean called it. The biggest and most essential difference between this world and the previous life is that there is magic in this world. Although the power of this magic is not as powerful and omnipotent as imagined, it is indeed real. What exists, can be perceived and controlled by very few people.

However, in this world it is not called magic, but spells. Its inheritance depends largely on talent. Even if there is no teacher's teaching, a talented person will wake up spontaneously and become a warlock when the time comes. People without talent, no matter how hard they try, it is difficult to get in touch with that invisible and intangible power.

There is a very popular opinion in the Arshan Continent, which believes that this kind of talent is not completely untraceable, and bloodline occupies an extremely important position in it.

Xiao En has reservations about this kind of view—he will have reservations about this kind of thing that is completely beyond the scope of what he has learned in his previous life, especially a view without any physical evidence.

Sean was lucky, very lucky, that he was not only one of a very few, but a few of a few, a unique imprint that not every Warlock had.

According to Sean's mother, a secret-level warlock, this brand of magic can only be produced on people with Andean blood, which was left to their descendants by the ancestors of the Andean Empire three hundred years ago. The precious wealth of the king is the symbol of the king.

What kind of kingly method is unknown, anyway, so far, Xiao En has not found any kingly spirit in himself.

Sean's first teacher of spells is his mother Elena. She is neither a qualified mother nor a responsible teacher. She is a whim.

When he became interested, no matter whether Xiao En could understand it or not, he was dragged over to instill a lot of spell knowledge. If he lost interest, he would throw him a bunch of obscure and unorganized spell books for self-study.

Since Sean was weaned, Elena has been missing for two-thirds of the year, and when she came back occasionally, she was in a hurry and busy with her own affairs. If it wasn't for the memories of her previous life, would Sean have grown up so big? It's all an unknown.

The influence is mutual, perhaps it is the extraordinary independence shown since childhood, which made Xiao En's mother develop this irresponsible habit.

As for the father, Sean has never seen it, and has never heard it mentioned by his mother, just like the Sean that Elena bred, there has never been such a person, if Sean is not 100% sure that Elena is his biological mother , I couldn't help but wonder if I was a character in the third-rate novel Dog Blood - who was adopted and raised by Elena.

For Sean, the benefits of having such a mother obviously outweigh the disadvantages. At least most of the time, he doesn't have to try hard to hide his differences. Even if he shows his feet occasionally, it can be explained by self-taught during her absence. .

Sean's mother has never doubted this point, just like all mothers, she thinks her son is different, even if he occasionally shows abnormalities, it is only right and proper, although Sean shows more abnormalities .

Since I don’t know when Elena recognized that Su Hui was turned on, Sean didn’t need to explain anything he did—although Sean’s current situation is not an exaggeration to call Su Hui turned on.

Judging from the classics I have come into contact with, the research on magic in this world is more inclined to use than the essence of magic. Even if there are occasional books about the essence of magicians, they are floating in the so-called light, darkness, fire, water, earth, and so on. The theory of wind elements believes that these elements are the basic elements that make up the world.

For Sean, who had received a popular education in modern physics of atoms and molecules, this theoretical theory deduced from the effects of magic spells is obviously untenable—the similarity between the two worlds is doomed to their composition and foundation. The laws of physics would not be fundamentally different.

With the growth of his own abilities and the deeper his understanding of spells, Xiao En became more certain of this point, at least not that simple, even spells must abide by the laws of physics, and the law of energy conservation is one of the core laws, which depends on The energy that exists is transformed, not created out of thin air.

Casting spells is an extremely energy-consuming thing, just like the flaming arrows he used before, even with the help of special arrows, he can cast three arrows at most, and he can fully recover after half a week of recuperation.

The arrow branch is made of the main pole of alpine iron pine. The branches of this kind of low alpine iron pine, which only grows at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, not only have amazing density, the weight is no worse than steel with the same volume, and it is also surprisingly oily. A small piece of branch can burn overnight, so it is impossible for this cold iron pine arrow to be reduced to ashes in just ten seconds because of self-combustion.

In fact, it had already been burned in the ten seconds of preparation before the shot, and the power was artificially condensed by Xiao En, and then released instantly to achieve the purpose of the attack.
