917: Chapter 903 Territory War 917: Chapter 903 Territory War “This world is a bit deford…”
“In their eyes, it’s the other worlds that are deford.
Look, their supernatural system is much more stable…”
What Lu Ping’an saw was a knight’s lance with a steam rotary disc; a single-handed weapon held by a knight of the hoofed tribe.
And such steam-like magic-guided weapons, the four knights behind each had one.
Although they seed to treasure these weapons, carrying them carefully at all tis, every knight accompanying the tax official who went down to the countryside had one, indicating that they weren’t such high-end rarities.
“Very simple chanical design, uses steam-like magic-guided engines to increase output for explosive physical attacks.
The fluctuations you’re sensing should be from its mass-produced engine…”
“Another physical attack?
Tsk, that’s really quite tangible…”
Lu Ping’an had seen many supernatural systems, but contrary to expectations, most included the simple and crude idea of ‘Magic to Physical,’ which often proved to be very effective.
This type of ‘Contamination’-attached physical damage was simple and crude in most cases, truly a plain but versatile characteristic.
“To put it another way, perhaps it’s easier to understand—not ‘physical’ attack, but ‘material’ attack.”
Big Cat’s words, however, made Lu Ping’an fall into thought.
These days, he had been enjoying the rare sight of a ‘peaceful life’.
Here, there were no constantly erging supernatural threats, no need to worry about professionals going astray.
Although there were so dangerous forest monsters, their actual strength couldn’t even beat the security team in town.
And the root of all this was actually the ‘Contamination’ falling into a strange state of inertia…
or rather, ‘Spirit’ and ‘Energy’ were forcibly limited to within ‘matter’.
For instance, himself, his ability to start a fire still existed as it was a feature of his profession as a first-tier source of Contamination.
His body, on its own accord, still could use his professional abilities.
But the mont the fla left his body…
or even just appeared on his skin, it would rapidly cease to exist.
It was as if, invisibly, sothing would forcefully extinguish the fla, letting the supernatural power self-annihilate.
His professional abilities were also greatly affected, the ‘Investnt’ ability of ‘instant growth of Magic Plants’ was directly halved again and again.
It wasn’t unusable, but even a first-tier Magic Plant cost him ten points (previously tenfold) to barely mature.
What was more helpless was that foreign Magic Plants did not adapt to the local environnt well; they beca quite fragile…
To put it plainly, their ecological niches were weak, and they couldn’t even compete with the local weeds.
The sa ‘Weakening’ applied to many others.
All sorts of outward-directed abilities were reduced by at least seventy to eighty percent.
What held their value best, unexpectedly, were the previously not-so-important Battle-professions.
“They possess supernatural powers…
similar to ‘Qi’ or, perhaps, ‘Fighting Spirit’?”
“Pfft, Fighting Spirit that turns into a horse?
Don’t tell —the hoofed tribe really do resemble centaurs…
No, horse-faced spirits of the horse-headed and horse-faced.”
Lu Ping’an’s ‘Eye of Truth’ was still usable, and what he observed was that within the bodies of those of the knight order, there was a flow of power that bestowed upon them clearly stronger Life Force and Burst Power.
And those heavy weapons, too, each had quite a terrifying weight.
Their muscular strength must also be far superior to their fellow tribesn.
At this ti, Lu Ping’an beca even more cautious…
He suspected that if he truly exposed himself without having adapted to the local environnt, sothing might go wrong.
The basic capabilities of these life forms were equivalent to Tier 1-2 Battle-professions.
Paired with a good weapon and a certain level of Cultivation, they easily reached the performance of third-tier Battle-professions.
And if about a dozen or so of such creatures showed up, and he couldn’t exert his full strength…
“…this could really spiral out of control.”
His main job for the ti being was actually to adapt to the local environnt or at the very least, acquire enough combat power.
On this aspect, he actually already had so ideas.
What he needed more of were attempts and adjustnts; he needed to take out his commonly used abilities one by one for trial while combining them with the local conditions for inherent adjustnts.
“Now that I’m in this state, won’t the battles at the frontline be in terrible shape?”
“Outsiders fighting on ho turf are at a disadvantage, the stronger the ho field, the bigger the loss…
But those at the Decree-level and above can resist greatly, and even more so, those at the Rule-level can ignore so of the ‘World Rules.’ Quasi-Gods of the ninth-order co with their own Domain and it wouldn’t make much difference wherever they go.”
“…So why am I being suppressed so heavily?”
“You’re not a Decree-level battle-profession.”
Alright, so that’s where the problem lies.
“…If it doesn’t work out, should I just make a breakthrough?”
“Better get on with it.”
Was it good luck, or was it just that a certain god was too busy?
Once again, it was the “God of Play” who had sent Lu Ping’an here, the sa one as last ti.
And It was currently in a nearby world, which ant that Lu Ping’an really could take advantage of Its Path to receive a transfer.
“Joy Dancer, seems like it’s fourth-tier?
And it’s a battle-profession related to the body?” This was undoubtedly good news, especially when Lu Ping’an realized that the local environnt and his current “Feather Tribe” physique were actually quite suitable for pursuing the “Dancer” cultivation path.
“Seems like the Feather Tribe is much more suited to the Dancer Path than humans?”
“No, it’s just that in most cases, the Feather Tribe has a higher life level than humans, so they have an easier ti following many paths, and it now has the ho turf bonus…”
Alright, career paths are not limited to humans, I just happened to et a “student” with better talent.
On the other hand, there wasn’t a problem with Lu Ping’an’s investnts; the problem was with the subject of those investnts, a low-level Magic Plant Tier 1-2, which was naturally being suppressed to death by the local environnt.
“If I use Magic Plants of the fourth-tier and above as my main combat force…”
“They’d still be severely suppressed.
Magic Plants need to be evaluated not only for strength but also for world compatibility.
Most of your Magic Plants are not adapted to the local environnt.
Besides, using Decree-level Magic Plants as consumables?
How many battles can you afford without going bankrupt?”
That’s the rationale, but since arriving in this environnt, one must adapt to the battlefield.
“So, doesn’t that make the low-level professionals on the frontline a liability?”
“…That’s not necessarily the case.
There are certain special abilities and taboo items that can create a ‘friendly territory,’ making it easier for them to exert their power.
You’ve seen quite a lot actually.”
Seen quite a lot?
This thing sounds precious; how co I don’t recall any of it?
“Secret Realms, right?
The Exotic Realms transforming Secret Realms.
Can’t it only be Earth’s Exotic Realms?
Can’t Exotic Realms beco like Earth?”
In a flash, Lu Ping’an had a realization.
When on Earth, I felt nothing as the host, but for the Foreign Domain invaders, once they left the Exotic Realm transford Secret Realms, their strength was clearly greatly reduced (only complete within the Secret Realms).
“In high-level supernatural battlefields, both sides strive to seize territorial control over each other’s area.
Many strongn and high-level Taboo items co with their own domains.
You’re uncomfortable in this Foreign Domain environnt, just as they can’t exert their usual abilities in your world.”
Don’t underestimate the additive and subtractive effects of the environnt.
In actual combat, it can weaken a Strongman like Lu Bu to a frail woman or turn a frail woman into a gorilla…
It’s enough to change the tide from dominating to being dominated in combat power.
“Is there any way to quickly gain self-preservation abilities?
You know, the localization you ntioned?”
“…Isn’t it right in front of you?”
In front of were the figures of those Centaur Knights.
“Are you suggesting I learn their thods of using supernatural abilities?
Wouldn’t that cause a conflict?”
“Why would there be a conflict?
Why do you think there would be a conflict?”
