I meet all the requirements for becoming a god in this world!

Chapter 117: The Advancement of Colossus Control Level.

In the stillness of the night, the only sound outside the window is the rustling of bamboo leaves in the wind.

Cheng Laiyun returned to his residence, closed the door, and sat cross-legged on the bed.

This residence was where he lived as an inspector in the State Regent's Office.

In terms of compensation, in addition to the monthly salary...

It also includes meals and accommodation.

But this is not important.

Cheng Laiyun took the jade piece out of his pocket and held it in his palm.

The divine sense gently probed into the sea of ​​consciousness.

In an instant, countless words flooded into my mind like a tidal wave.

[A colossal statue crafted by nature, and the methods to control it]

Inside the imperial prison, he only glanced at it briefly.

Now, he can calm down and read carefully.

Immersed in the story, Cheng Laiyun grew increasingly alarmed.

It turns out that I was just messing around before.

This is the method of driving.

The control of the colossus is divided into three "realms".

"The colossus is an outer armor, not my body."

"The beginners drive it with force, the intermediate ones control it with intention, and the advanced ones unite it with spirit."

Driven by force, controlled by intention, combined by spirit.

These are the three levels of controlling the colossus.

First layer: Force-driven.

Wearing the colossus costume, one can experience the control of the colossus.

Make every joint and every armor plate of the colossus an extension of its own body.

Raising an arm is raising an arm, raising a leg is raising a leg; there is no hesitation, and no "thinking" process is required.

After reading the introduction to the first floor.

Cheng Laiyun fell into deep thought.

He recalled his previous battles.

The first instance was the battle with Wei Xijun in Eagle Sorrow Gorge of Qinglong Mountain, where he first controlled the colossus.

At that time, he relied on the power and speed of the colossus itself.

Including the battle later, in the dense forest, against that seventh-grade metal-attribute supernatural martial artist.

Although the colossus unlocked the divine power of the law of heaven and earth, it still relied on pure power.

There was also the fight against a seventh-rank martial artist in the Wu family courtyard, and the encounter with Zhang Lin on a street corner in the capital during the day.

Although the Demon-Shocking Circle was used, that was an ability unlocked by the seventh-rank Colossus.

He just released a halo of light to stun people, then finished them off with a punch.

Like the "driving by force" mentioned in this article on the method of driving, it is the most basic "application".

He calmed himself down and focused his attention on the second level of controlling the colossus.

"Yiyu----"

Cheng Laiyun looked at the name of the second level and murmured softly.

[The one who controls the will is one who synchronizes the colossus's energy conduits with the flow of qi and blood within their own body.]

When the colossus absorbs and circulates spiritual energy, its own qi and blood also adjust accordingly, achieving a state of "human-machine integration."

This not only reduces psionic energy loss but also increases the colossus's reaction speed by 30%.

This floor was completely unfamiliar to him.

"Reaction speed is 30% faster —"

"The loss of spiritual energy and the spiritual power within my body is reduced by 30% —"

Upon seeing this, Cheng Laiyun swallowed hard.

His eyes gleamed with a sharp light!

"If I could reach this level of control over the colossus..."

"Doesn't that mean my combat power can be boosted to a whole new level out of thin air?!"

As for the third layer...

Those who are in communion with God make the colossus their second body.

[Wherever the divine thought goes, the colossal statue appears.]

No action is needed, just a thought.

At this point, the colossus is no longer just an outer armor, but a true "external embodiment".

But—in the history of the Mo Sect, no one has ever reached the first level.

In other words, this third layer is just a concept.

The concept for this layer is described in just one sentence.

Those who unite with the gods will command colossal statues and become the rulers of the nine provinces.

"Snapped!"

Cheng Laiyun subconsciously covered the jade piece in his hand.

He cautiously looked up, observing his surroundings.

Only after everyone was around did I breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"You shouldn't say things like that, should you?"

Those who unite with the gods, command colossal statues, and become the rulers of the nine provinces?

That tone is a bit aggressive.

Cheng Laiyun patiently continued watching.

Combat methods against different systems

The senior from the Mo Sect didn't waste any words and went straight to the fighting method.

First, regarding martial arts practitioners:

Martial arts practitioners excel in close combat, possess vigorous blood and energy, and their punches and kicks are powerful and fierce.

A head-on confrontation is not impossible, but it is not the optimal solution.

Martial arts are characterized by strength and ferocity, but can be overcome with gentleness.

This method requires the Colossus to be at the "Intent Control" level.

Use the Colossus's agility to maneuver and contain.

Martial arts practitioners possess strong attack power, but they also consume a lot of energy.

The colossus is supported by psionic conduits, giving it a strong ability to sustain combat.

Drag it out until the opponent's strength and blood are depleted, then deliver a fatal blow.

Alternatively, one could use the Colossus's "Demon Shock Circle" or similar control skills to disrupt the martial artist's offensive rhythm, and then seize the opening to launch a fierce attack.

Cheng Laiyun stroked his chin.

Take your time to think.

He recalled his battle against Zhang Lin.

Although they won, it wasn't a graceful victory.

He immediately unleashed a demonic aura and then threw a punch.

If Zhang Lin were stronger, or had help, his fighting style would be easily countered.

Cheng Laiyun began to ponder: "Actually, I should first probe and test the waters to find out the other side's strengths and weaknesses before deciding what methods to use—"

The most troublesome thing about Confucian scholars is that their words become law, and they constantly quote "The sage said." Their attacks, imbued with righteous energy, have a long range and wide area, making them difficult to dodge.

The jade tablet records, "The Confucian scholar cultivates a magnanimous spirit, using swiftness to overcome adversity."

It takes time for Confucian scholars to internalize the words of sages.

Although it was very short, it was indeed a flaw.

This is where the Colossus's speed advantage comes into play.

A simple and straightforward method:

Interrupt him before he can speak.

What if I get interrupted?

There's a trick to the jade tablet: after reaching the sixth rank, the colossus will unlock a new skill.

[Psionic Shield]

Consume your own spiritual power to activate a defensive shield with the colossus's spiritual energy.

However, you can't keep the shield on indefinitely to withstand the damage, as that would consume too much energy.

Instead, just as the opponent's attack is about to land, a psionic shield suddenly erupts to block the attack, and then it is immediately withdrawn.

This provides both defense and significantly reduces resource consumption.

Seeing this, Cheng Laiyun understood. He blinked and said, "It just means instant purification, right?"

"I understand, I understand."

As for the content that follows.

Cheng Laiyun decided to wait and see.

Having seen so much today, it's enough for him to process for a while.

He put down the jade piece and closed his eyes in deep thought.

"Then it's very simple."

"Raise the level of control over the colossus from physical force to mental control!"

He was never a fool.

Having possessed the Colossus for so long, I am now very familiar with its control.

But no one had ever told him how to properly control the colossus.

Now we have a direction.

-

He was already quite impatient.

"Whoosh!"

Cheng Laiyun had a thought.

The giant light spots in the sea of ​​consciousness then surged out in clusters.

Wrap him up.

A dull, ugly colossal statue appeared in the room.

"Riding the colossus, I've always been inspired—"

Cheng Laiyun controlled the colossus, silently sensing the flow of spiritual energy through its energy conduits with each breath.

"Now the colossus is catering to me."

"This is wrong, or rather, it's a low-level one."

"What I need to do is understand every movement of the colossus's spiritual energy and adapt to it—"

Before we knew it.

Cheng Laiyun was taken out of the house.

This is a quiet courtyard.

Although it's not big, it has all the essentials.

He controlled the colossus, standing under the moonlight, silently sensing its power.

It was late at night.

The moonlight, like water, spilled into this secluded courtyard.

Cheng Laiyun closed his eyes and calmed his mind.

What he needs to do now is to feel.

Feel the pulse of the spiritual energy conduits within the colossus's body, feel the rhythm of the rotation of the three main spiritual cores, and feel the trajectory of the spiritual patterns flowing on each armor leaf.

It's not about seeing with your eyes.

It means to listen attentively.

"The colossus is catering to me—"

Cheng Laiyun muttered to himself.

He has been doing this ever since he first donned the Colossus armor.

If it wants to raise its hand, the colossus will raise its hand.

If it wants to take a step, the colossus will take a step.

If you want to fight, just throw a punch.

The colossus was his tool, his weapon, and the shell he used to fight.

True "control" is to do the opposite—to cater to the colossus.

Cheng Laiyun took a deep breath, making his breathing long and steady.

He began to adjust his blood and qi circulation.

Having cultivated martial arts to this day, the qi and blood in his body have long since formed their own circulation.

At this moment, he deliberately slowed down the flow of his qi and blood, allowing his heartbeat to slow down, and then slow down even more.

a bit.

Two times.

Three times.

Gradually, he sensed something different.

The psionic conduits within the colossus's body had been pulsating mechanically, like a tireless machine. But now, as its energy flow slowed, the frequency of those pulsations seemed to—become slower?

But the next moment.

This feeling suddenly disappeared.

The feeling of having just grasped something, only to have it suddenly cut off, left him feeling frustrated.

"Does this mean we have to stop here?"

Cheng Laiyun took a deep breath and squinted his eyes.

wrong.

I still have a hang-up.

[Hearers] Open the door!

Activate the supernatural power of hearing everything.

Cheng Laiyun closed his eyes again.

The familiar feeling, as if it had returned.

Just like back then in the martial arts academy of Xu's Cloth Shop in Yong'an County.

Relying on his supernatural ability of hearing the wind, he broke through the three barriers before entering the rank!

Feel it quietly.

Slowly, that feeling from before returned.

He tried to speed up the circulation of qi and blood.

The pulsation of the psionic conduit then accelerated.

He slowed down again.

The pulse then slowed down.

"It's synchronized—"

Cheng Laiyun opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

[Hearing All the Way] is truly amazing!!

However, he did not become complacent, but instead chose to press his advantage!

Because this is only the first step in Yiyu's development.

He closed his eyes and continued trying.

This time, he didn't want simple synchronization, but a deeper level of "resonance".

The flow of Qi and blood slows down, to the point of almost stopping.

The pulsation of the psionic conduit also slowed down, so slowed that the pale blue light almost stopped flickering.

Cheng Laiyun felt as if he had fallen into a deep sea.

Everything around them disappeared.

The moonlight, the bamboo shadows, the sound of the wind—all vanished.

He was left all alone.

There are also colossi.

There seemed to be an invisible thread connecting him and the colossus.

He seemed to be able to sense the colossus's "emotions"?

It wasn't a real emotion, but something deeper—the "rhythm" that existed within the colossus itself.

Just as every sword has its own sword intent, every knife has its own knife spirit.

Even colossi have their "soul".

Cheng Laiyun didn't know what this thing was called, but he definitely felt it.

It was a quiet yet powerful force, dormant deep within the colossus, waiting to be awakened.

He tried to touch that power.

The flow of qi and blood accelerated slightly.

The pulse in the psionic conduit also quickened slightly.

wrong.

too fast.

He slowed down his blood circulation.

The pulse then slowed down.

Still not right.

Cheng Laiyun frowned slightly.

He was looking for a feeling.

It wasn't that the colossus followed his rhythm, nor that he followed the colossus's rhythm, but rather that the two merged into one.

Like two rivers that were originally parallel, they completely merge into one at a certain confluence point.

He continued to regulate his Qi and blood.

Faster, slower.

Slow down, fast.

Too fast, then slow down.

Once, twice, three times —

I don't know how much time passed.

suddenly-

"Buzz".

A very faint sound came from deep within the colossus.

Cheng Laiyun was startled.

At that moment, he felt the invisible thread between himself and the colossus suddenly multiply into countless threads.

The dense threads wrapped around his body, his blood and qi, and his consciousness, binding him tightly to the giant statue.

His blood and energy flow is the pulse of the colossus's spiritual energy.

His heartbeat is the rhythm of the Colossus's main spirit core rotating.

His breathing was the frequency at which the giant's mantle plates opened and closed.

He no longer needs to "think" to raise his hand for the colossus to raise its hand.

He only needs to "intention" to move, and the colossus will move accordingly.

It's not thought, it's not command, it's instinct.

Just like breathing, you don't need to think about it to breathe.

Just like a heartbeat, it beats without needing to be controlled.

Cheng Laiyun slowly opened his eyes.

Under the moonlight, the dim colossal statue still stood in the same spot.

But Cheng Laiyun knew that things were different now.

Or rather, he himself is different now.

He gently raised his hand.

The colossus then raised its hand.

But this time, there was no delay, no "process".

The moment he raised his hand, the giant's hand had already risen.

It was as if those were his own hands.

A smile appeared on Cheng Laiyun's lips.

He looked at the old locust tree in the courtyard.

My heart stirred slightly.

The giant statue took a single step and was instantly in front of the locust tree.

It's eerily fast!

Quickly and gently —

He needs to "think" for a while before the colossus moves.

The faster you think, the faster you act.

But now, even the process of "thinking" is eliminated.

Where the mind goes, the body follows.

Cheng Laiyun took a deep breath, and his mind made up again.

The colossus lowered its body and glided along the ground, drawing a dark golden arc in the courtyard.

Most importantly—there are no more "bang bang bang" sounds like before.

Like a fierce tiger, its movements were expansive and powerful, yet it made not a single sound.

Did he put on the Colossus, or did the Colossus grow onto his body?

I can't tell the difference.

Cheng Laiyun looked up at the moon in the night sky and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Yiyu----"

He murmured softly.

"So this is what it feels like."

He closed his eyes, feeling the immense spiritual energy flowing within the giant statue.

At this moment, the colossus was no longer his tool, no longer his weapon.

Rather, it is his second body.

He raised his hand and pressed it hard against the old locust tree in front of him.

"Da~"

An extremely soft voice sounded.

"Click~"

The old locust tree snapped in two.

This is in response to Cheng Laiyun's solid step forward in terms of combat power!
