738: Chapter 724: Pale Hand 738: Chapter 724: Pale Hand In the end, a Tar is a profession that controls a specific type of substance or object.
There are countless Tars with various abilities, such as those who play with origami, cars, swords, and guns.
One thing they have in common is that once they choose their object, very few people change their choice.
“But why is it limited to a specific type of substance or object?”
Lu Ping’an was sowhat puzzled before, thinking that the answer would be “familiarity.”
However, as the understanding of the Tar) pathway, it was clear that this explanation was flawed…
controlling two types of items with stealth and combat suddenness was obviously stronger than specializing in one.
Lu Ping’an has seen many powerful Tars thus far, but he has not seen one who can control two different substances.
“…It turns out that it’s for easier ‘erosion’…”
As a 1-tier Tar, after spending a lot of effort (and gaining a lot of experiences), Lu Ping’an’s understanding of the Tar Path beca clearer.
It is sowhat similar to the Talent Abilities of the Protection/Binding system, which transfers their ability through a specific dium (blood, contact area, runes) floating on the controlled object for targeted manipulation.
Their abilities can be divided into two main categories: pure control and “enhancing” revision.
For example, with Su Zhizhu’s paper crane, controlling the crane’s flight and movent is “control”, while giving the crane the hardness of steel is revising its basic material property, and falls into the “enhancent” category.
A further “enhancent” can even give the object supernatural traits, such as an indestructible paper hamr, a biting, attacking paper tiger, or a giant, screaming paper dinosaur.
Lu Ping’an speculated that this profession originally developed from Talent Ability Users of the Protection/Binding system, and they have a clear advantage in this area.
Knowing the characteristics, the restriction of “limited to one kind” becos even more apparent.
“To control this substance, the best way is to make it a part of yourself.
You need to ‘assimilate’ it.
Since the basic composition of each substance is different, you need to prepare the corresponding ‘controller (dium)’ and corresponding control energy (professional ability)…”
A suitable taphor could be a remote control, a corresponding battery pack and control software… these were the original words of a master of origami.
Lu Ping’an directly called for a professional Tar, Su Zhizhu, to help him complete his profession.
Her understanding indeed resonated with Lu Ping’an.
“…It’s a bit like my All Things Breathing ability.”
In a way, it is indeed a similar ability, although Lu Ping’an’s is obviously more powerful…
“…It seems that they can be used together.”
As he said that, Lu Ping’an touched a bone, trying to “link” it as part of his own body.
“…It failed.
The Tar ability worked, and I controlled the bone, but the All Things Breathing failed as it was not recognized as a living object.”
Lu Ping’an hadn’t advanced to a new profession yet, but after he confird that his control target was “bone,” he easily reprocessed these vortex stones.
With brute force, he broke the bones, slightly processed them, and then tried to “control” the bones.
“What’s the most suitable dium?” Lu Ping’an casually asked but received a unanimous answer.
“Blood.”
“Fresh blood.”
Both the cat and Su Zhizhu gave the sa answer, but for different reasons.
“It’s a part of your body and the most natural dium.
At the sa ti, it is the basic dium of my Su-style Tar school.
I can provide so guidance and help.”
Su Zhizhu was very honest, she felt she had clung to a reliable thigh and beca much more easygoing.
“You are from the Life System; both blood and bones are life materials, and their compatibility is the highest.
That can help you in your middle and late stages of ability integration…
You’d better not use materials other than life.”
One focused on the short-term technique, the other on the long-term theory, they both arrived at the sa answer, and Lu Ping’an no longer hesitated.
“The dium is ‘blood,’ and the control target is ‘bone’…”
Lu Ping’an dripped his blood on the bone, his hand sticky, as he tried to “assimilate” the bone.
[Ding, congratulations, Host, for selecting the control target ‘Bone.’ 1-tier profession ‘Tar (Bone)’ is complete…]
[Professional skill ‘Taboo Assimilation (Control) LV6’ has mutated after the selection of ‘driving type’ and is now ‘Bone Manipulation Technique (lv7)’.
Please choose your branch traits as soon as possible to continue leveling up (note: the accumulated ability is not enough, the available options are limited, you can choose after acquiring a sufficient knowledge system).]
[Obtained professional skill ‘Taboo Mastery (Amplification) lv6’, the skill mutated after selecting the ‘control type’ to ‘Skeletal Trick lv7’.
Please supplent the relevant ‘knowledge’ as soon as possible to provide branch options.]
Lu Ping’an used “unorthodox thods” (such as taking advantage of others’ experiences) to raise the level of the Tar’s professional skill to lv6… this was quite outrageous, and he hadn’t even chosen the direction of control yet.
However, for the next tier (2-tier) and lv7, he was previously stuck completely, as it would be impossible to beco a soccer master without a ball or a sharpshooter without a gun.
But now, with the certainty of his choice, his abilities have also been upgraded.
Regarding branches, Lu Ping’an hasn’t made a choice yet, and he still lacks the corresponding “Bone Science Knowledge”.
The few available options are rather weak.
After making a decision, accompanied by the erosion of will and blood, the “Vortex Stone” faintly revealed a blood glow…
At this mont, Lu Ping’an felt more and more capable of controlling it.
Controlling its movents, controlling the conversion of its kinetic energy…
“Ah, can’t do it now, a first-tier Tar is quite useless.”
Even with a level 7 professional skill, Lu Ping’an could only barely control the hovering movent of this “small stone” and if he moved away slightly, the consumption would increase geotrically.
With such a level, there is no combat ability to speak of.
“Simply taming bones has no aning, the hardness of the bones is far lower than steel, and they are not easy to carry and mass-produce.
The focus is on two developnt directions, one is the life system, and the other is the fla system.
The special properties of this vortex stone can allow you, as a Tar and a Fla Master, to rge the two systems, achieving a synergistic effect greater than the sum of the parts…”
Big Cat stands taller; she has already finished her work.
A simple module was placed in front of Lu Ping’an, that is…
“…Pale Hand (Fake)?”
A pile of books was placed in front of Lu Ping’an: “How to Control Living Beings Through Bones”, “The Most Suitable Bones for Fusion with Bone Pins: Skull and Tightening Curse”, “The Weight of Blood and Bones”.
When Lu Ping’an touched them, he also got the “usage conditions”.
“First-tier Healer/Gardener/Beast Tar, Healer is the most optimal, Gardener is the least…
Ah, it seems I need to catch up on my lessons later.”
Aside from that, there are a bunch of scattered requirents, such as “Taboo Knowledge Level (dical)”, “Spiritual Power Projection Level”, “Life Perception” and so on.
Most of the requirents are for Tars and the Life system, which Lu Ping’an can mostly satisfy.
The most troubleso aspect is the “knowledge” part.
[Taboo Knowledge (Universal) takes effect at lv33, verified…]
Well, that just barely passed.
But Lu Ping’an himself also knows that if he wants to make good use of this profession, he will need to learn and catch up on the necessary knowledge.
“Under normal circumstances, using the Healer path as the cornerstone is more appropriate, but Corpse Controlling Practitioners are a variant path of Healers, and as part of the life system, controlling the power of life is also a basic requirent…”
Big Cat explained, allowing Lu Ping’an to gradually understand everything needed for this profession.
These “reading conditions” are actually the advancent conditions for this profession, which are the lower foundation and basic materials needed to build this profession.
It is a Tar, but not just a Tar, and has many overlaps with the Healer (Corpse Controlling Practitioner)…
However, the lowest-level Corpse Controlling Practitioner is also third-tier, and its core cornerstone is still the Tar’s “control” and “amplification” rather than the Corpse Controlling Practitioner’s “resurrection of the corpse (dead life)”.
This 2-tier Tar profession, its core ability is to indirectly control living beings through the manipulation of “bone pins”, and the whole 2-tier level is basically about the manufacturing, control, and understanding of bone pins.
As for the specific uses and limitations, it seems that they need to advance first to find out.
“…This should not be the complete version.”
“The complete version requires you to build it yourself.
It contains too many advanced Corpse Controlling Practitioner knowledge systems, and the 2-tier can only be a miniature version.”
“So, it is the Pale Hand (Fake)…”
To go further, a third-tier level is still required, and perhaps even fourth-tier, which might be a bit difficult for now…
“…But now, if combined with a Runner-based Fire Controller, it only needs to use part of its bone taming ability, and 2-tier is enough.”
Lu Ping’an pondered for a mont and nodded in satisfaction.
On the other side, thanks to the dedication of various ntors, the “Fire Controller” system based on the Runner profession has also been completed for Lu Ping’an.
Ten hours later…
in real-world ten hours, and who knows how long after he accelerated, Lu Ping’an returned to the battlefield with several new trump cards in his hand.
And when he returned to the other side, the countdown to the war had not yet ended.
“…I’m looking forward to it; I hope the opponent won’t be too disappointing.”
“After this fight, I want to go ho ow.”
“Actually, I want to go back to my hotown too…” Xue En was about to speak when he was imdiately covered.
“No, you don’t want to!”
The sa words, from different people, yet had completely different effects.
