Magic Industrial Age

Some time has passed since Roy drank the Sacred Lava Potion.

With Deep Blue's capabilities, results should have been seen by now.

But the reality is, after so long, the breathing technique Roy cultivates has been optimized and iterated over thirty times.

Anyway, Roy wouldn't understand without looking at the backend records.

He only knows that whenever he makes progress, Deep Blue provides a new version, optimized closely to his physique and constitution.

However, this [Secret Saint Technique - Divine Sigh] still uses the original version without any changes.

Roy asked several times without any results, and over time, he stopped asking.

After all, the original version's effects were still good, and he could clearly feel the progress. The heat within his heart, like magma, grew thicker, so he wasn't so anxious.

He didn't expect Deep Blue to bring it up again when he had almost forgotten about it.

However, Deep Blue was very silent in the face of Roy's question. After a long pause, he said, "Master, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

"This Secret Saint Technique does have its extraordinary aspects. I've analyzed it for months, incorporating your body data, but I haven't found a good optimization method or entry point."

"Every time I try to strengthen one aspect, it leads to an imbalance in other areas.

The result is that it's not worth the effort!"

Roy didn't quite understand and asked, "Explain it specifically?"

Deep Blue paused before saying, "It's like a wooden bucket that was originally fine and could hold water.

But when you try to lengthen one of the wooden planks, it doesn't increase its capacity because the other planks appear shorter."

"That's the result. I want to make 'Divine Sigh' better, but other aspects will become unbalanced, to the point where the entire Secret Saint Technique becomes unusable."

"Master, the creator of this Saint Technique must have a far greater understanding of the human body, Dou Qi, and the extraordinary than I can imagine.

To the point where all my analysis and calculations seem like showing off my limited skills before an expert."

This was the first time Roy had heard such high praise, which made him a little stunned.

But after a moment, he realized something was wrong and asked, "Wait, I don't understand what you're saying.

If there are no results, why are you bringing it up? Just to annoy me?"

"Of course not!"

Deep Blue continued, "What I want to say is that this Saint Technique is already perfect and doesn't need optimization.

However, based on this foundation, we can actually develop more incredible abilities."

"For example?"

"For example, the pressure that accompanies the activation of 'Giant Beast Heartbeat'. I think if developed properly, it could form an ability similar to Dragon Might.

Also, the ripples of air that spread outward in circles seem useless, but if they can be strengthened to the extreme, they might become a defensive means."

"In addition to this, there are many directions with unlimited possibilities, depending on how we want to strengthen them."

Roy understood and was a little speechless. He said, "Can you just say what you need?

Why go around in circles so much? Don't you find it troublesome?"

"Secret Saint Techniques, or other powerful Dou Qi techniques, I need enough information to fill the gaps in my knowledge in this area so that I can conduct in-depth analysis."

The corners of Roy's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Do you think Dou Qi techniques are as common as cabbages? Or do you think Secret Saint Techniques are everywhere?

Those are all knowledge and foundations that great nobles, royalty, certain secret organizations, and even the church keep at the bottom of their boxes. Where am I going to get them for you?"

"It's easy for you to say!"

It was only in the Habsburg Empire, in order to promote enlightenment and cultivate more mechanical talents, that many knowledge were declassified, which led to the Philant Magic Academy's library.

This is already amazing!

Moreover, although there are many books inside, they have been strictly screened. Many secret information only reveal a glimpse.

There won't be any more details, like those magic knowledge, magic mechanical structures, etc., which are knowledge systems kept at the bottom of the mage towers.

Besides this, Roy couldn't find a second channel to obtain a large amount of information, let alone Dou Qi techniques and Secret Saint Techniques.

Deep Blue seemed to know that his request was a bit excessive, and he quickly said, "Master, I know it's difficult.

I just want to tell you that there is this possibility. If there is corresponding information, I might be able to deduce more powerful combat skills."

"So, if you have the opportunity, please pay attention. If not, then so be it."

Roy thought for a while and had to say, "Let's wait for an opportunity!"

...

Perhaps the heavens are finally beginning to favor this poor city. Since the riot, it has finally become stable.

Even because of the continuous development and expansion of the magic energy factory, it has absorbed a lot of population, so that there are more people with jobs.

With an income, being able to eat and dress warmly, and having hope, ordinary people can feel happiness.

It's a very simple and plain wish, but unfortunately, it's really not easy to achieve!

And when people have jobs, naturally, the public security environment will be much better.

Especially after Baron Miller Petrovic left, this situation became more and more obvious.

Roy finally lived a stable life, and it was visibly clear that this stable life would last longer and longer.

Therefore, he unhesitatingly chose to cultivate the core skill of the Eagle Eye school - Eagle Eye Technique.

...

Inside the secret room,

Lilia looked at the turbid medicinal liquid in her hand and asked, "Are you really decided?"

"I've been preparing for so long, and you're asking me if I've made a decision?"

"But cultivating this kind of pupil technique is still somewhat dangerous. It might cause permanent damage to the eyeballs, which would be more harm than good.

Moreover, you've already chosen the path of a combat professional, do you really have to take care of the magic gunslinger?"

Roy smiled: "You don't understand, in this era, I have to know more to be able to do it."

"Besides, actually this secret medicine is not as dangerous as you think, I am sure of it.

So, use it! Use it!"

When Gary Mills taught Roy the Eagle Eye Technique, he told him in detail the dangers of this skill.

Although it has been optimized for countless years, there are always some people who have a rejection reaction to this secret medicine, just like an allergy, unable to adapt.

Moreover, the blood vessels in the eyes are extremely small and fragile, and if you are not careful when using Dou Qi to dredge and strengthen them, it may cause irreversible damage.

Therefore, this skill is really not something that everyone can learn.

However, Roy naturally had 100% certainty before he was so decisive.

First of all, the secret medicine is a version optimized by Deep Blue, which has slightly adjusted the proportion of herbs to better fit Roy's physique.

Allergic reactions and the like do not exist.

Secondly, although the amount of pure Dou Qi is much less, it has a natural bonus in terms of control. He can achieve precise control.

Finally, Roy has also become proficient in it hundreds of times with the help of the learning module, and it is almost muscle memory, so he has sufficient confidence.

Seeing him so sure, Lilia finally stopped objecting. She raised her hand, pressed it on Roy's face, slightly opened his eyelids, and then took the medicinal liquid and dripped it down.

The light green turbid medicinal liquid fell into the pupils, and a burst of heat came, followed by bursts of stinging pain, as if the entire eyeball was burned by fire.

Roy's face twitched, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Continue!"

Lilia immediately opened his other eyelid again and dripped the secret medicine. This time her hands were shaking a little, and there was too much medicinal liquid, so it flowed down from the corner of her eyes.

This time, Roy couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, his eyes tightly closed, feeling the burning pain in his eyeballs.

Then, a softness buried his head in it. Roy took a deep breath and smelled a woman's fragrance, which was intoxicating.

Although he didn't open his eyes, Roy also knew that Lilia was looking at his pain and directly buried his head in her chest.

Roy took a deep breath, tried to cheer himself up, and then guided the pure Dou Qi to flow rapidly in the blood vessels.

He also concentrated his consciousness to guide the strands of Dou Qi into the blood vessels of the pupils.

The blood vessels in the eyeballs are actually not much stronger than capillaries, and only secret medicines can make these blood vessels as large as possible.

Then, Dou Qi can enter more smoothly and circulate continuously along specific routes.

Until this time, the pain was significantly relieved, and with the Dou Qi running again and again, it seemed to be strengthened and became more and more cool.

Of course, there are still side effects of the secret medicine. The process of the eyeballs enduring Dou Qi and medicinal liquid will lead to temporary blindness.

This is something that cannot be solved. Even Deep Blue has calculated for a long time and has not provided an effective solution, so he can only get through this dangerous period.

It is not until it is completely adapted that it is considered the entry of the Eagle Eye Technique.

But even so, it does not prevent Deep Blue from providing Roy with motivation.

For example, now, although his eyes are tightly closed, there seems to be a light blue light curtain unfolding in the darkness.

On the attribute panel, a line of words is gradually appearing: Eagle Eye Technique LV1 (1/100).

This is clearly a naked temptation, Roy gritted his teeth and persevered.

An hour later, the cultivation was finally over. Roy carefully opened his eyes and blinked, only to feel that the world had never been so clear and the colors so distinct.

The effect of this Eagle Eye Technique is really immediate.

I've been very busy these days and really haven't had time to add more updates, please forgive me!
