"What kind of person is the 'Sea Wolf'? Lu Yuan, who has inherited Alfanzo's memories, naturally understands it better than Sonice.
However, he truly doesn't know much about the 'Sea Wolf's' strength.
The relationship between Alfanzo and the 'Sea Wolf' is not as close as outsiders imagine.
Aside from respect, Alfanzo's feelings towards the 'Sea Wolf' are mostly fear and envy, with even the ambition to replace him.
In Alfanzo's memories, the image of the 'Sea Wolf' is overly exaggerated and distorted, rather than being objectively evaluated by outsiders.
"Oh, tell me more about it."
Currently, not all the star thieves have arrived, and Lu Yuan chats idly with Sonice.
Sonice thought for a moment and replied: "The reason why level seven is considered a watershed is that the biggest difference from level six, aside from the gap in Spiritual Power, is the solidified resonance of mechas..."
"Solidified resonance?!"
Lu Yuan blinked, showing a bit of interest in this new term.
"Yes."
Sonice explained: "Solidified resonance is a special technique that engraves the resonance skills realized by a mechanician onto the mecha modules.
The solidified resonance skills, once activated during combat, can be used without exhausting the mechanician's energy..."
"Is your stacked resonance skill achieved like this?"
Lu Yuan's eyes brightened.
During the engagement with Sonice, Sonice repeatedly executed the resonance skill three times to stack the attack frequency of her mecha to an astonishing height, greatly increasing the power of the move.
As a result, Lu Yuan also mastered the technique of [Demon Wind Triple].
He finally understood how Sonice accomplished it.
Solidified resonance essentially allows the resonance skill to be pre-recorded and 'played back' when needed.
"Exactly."
Sonice nodded, "Sea Wolf practices the [Blood Cry] Spiritual Power Cultivation Method, whose greatest advantage is significantly boosting combat power during battles.
The downside is obvious; after the burst, the mechanician's Spiritual Power and physical strength will be severely drained, plunging the person into serious weakness...
But relying on solidified resonance technology can offset this weakness to the greatest extent.
Moreover, a level seven mecha can only be equipped with two solidified resonance skill modules at most, but a level eight mecha can reach up to five.
If we count his own skill...
In theory..."
Sonice took a deep breath and said solemnly: "The Sea Wolf can repeatedly trigger [Blood Cry], amplifying himself six times, with strength infinitely close to level nine!"
Lu Yuan's gaze flickered, his mind slightly shaken.
Once triggered, [Blood Cry] can cause strength to surge several times in a short period.
With six times burst amplification, even if it can't continually stack, at least the duration of the burst can be greatly extended.
Then the 'weakness' of [Blood Cry] as a half-minute real man won't be a weakness anymore, bringing endless despair to opponents during combat.
"Moreover, after a breakthrough from seventh to eighth level of Spiritual Power, consciousness ascends, and both its strength and quality will greatly improve; the Sea Wolf's strength is beyond the reach of ordinary star thieves even without triggering [Blood Cry]..."
Sonice said in a low voice: "The only good news is that the difficulty of solidifying different resonance skills varies greatly.
The explosive characteristics of [Blood Cry] require a rare material to be solidified, a material that even the 'Sea Wolf' doesn't have much of.
I suspect his five solidified resonance slots can't all be equipped with [Blood Cry]..."
Lu Yuan blinked, understanding why Alfanzo hesitated during their confrontation and was unwilling to 'burst.'
He simply hadn't equipped the solidified resonance module for [Blood Cry]; since the 'Sea Wolf' didn't have enough materials, there was naturally none left for him.
Alfanzo's resentment towards the Sea Wolf likely stems partly from this.
"In the Duoling star system, the research on mechas and mechanical soldiers far surpasses that on the Mother Star.
Not only are there flourishing Spiritual Power cultivation schools, but they've also developed linkage resonance techniques between humans and mechas, and even technology like solidified resonance; it's truly remarkable..."
Lu Yuan now is almost completely abandoning the Mother Star's standard for measuring strength.
Both the Spiritual Power Cultivation Method and mechas provide too much combat support below the Star Spirit Realm level.
The pure Star Martial practitioners from the Mother Star, with their bare equipment, are almost like natives with congenital deficiencies.
The Bai Family might be slightly better, but the gap is still significant.
If they come to Duoling, an eighth-level mechanician might be able to compete with a tenth-level Star Spirit Realm fighter due to various advantages.
As for Lu Yuan himself, he felt much stronger than before when comparing the current Spiritual Power of level four.
While thinking, Lu Yuan suddenly sensed a fierce and dominant consciousness fluctuation emanating from a distance.
The air seemed to carry a faint scent of blood.
The large cave in the mountain abruptly fell silent.
Lu Yuan raised his eyes towards the direction from which the spiritual wave came, his eyes narrowing slightly.
At the entrance somewhere ahead, a half-illusory blood-colored wolf head materialized in the void.
The air slightly distorted, and the scarlet, icy gaze coldly swept over everyone present.
Beneath the blood-colored wolf head, a tall, burly figure slowly walked towards the center of the area.
Sea Wolf.
Just like in Alfanzo's memory, the Sea Wolf himself was a middle-aged man around forty.
With eyes shaped like inverted triangles, similar to Alfanzo's, slightly narrowed, constantly exuding a fierce glint.
Combined with sharp, stone-like features and a robust, formidable build, he lacked Alfanzo's sinister depth, instead exuding an indescribable domineering aura, like a tyrant of unpredictable moods.
"This is the eighth-level spiritual power..."
Lu Yuan's eyes kept gazing at the blood-colored wolf head that hovered stably above Sea Wolf's head, murmuring softly.
He realized he had underestimated the transformation and augmentation that the cultivation method brought to spiritual power.
Based on the current display of momentum by the Sea Wolf, an eighth-level mechanician's spiritual power had already evolved to quite a high level.
In some aspects, even far surpassing the tenth level of the Star Spirit Realm of the Mother Star!
"You need to be careful..."
Sonice whispered in Lu Yuan's ear, "The Sea Wolf's accomplishments in the Star Martial Domain are also not low.
Rumor has it, his Star Martial Talent is excellent, and he's about to illuminate the entire Life Star Chart.."
Lu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, he turned to look at Sonice, and slowly nodded.
Under the transformation of the [Seed of Misfortune], Sonice's performance was increasingly satisfying to him.
Her "metamorphosis" seemed to be even faster than Lu Feng's.
The presence of the Sea Wolf caused the hundreds of star thieves in the vast cave to fall silent.
Everyone's gaze converged on him, each person watching him.
Wherever the Sea Wolf passed, the crowd naturally parted.
These rebellious star thieves all seemed as "docile" as sheep in front of the Sea Wolf.
The Sea Wolf walked through the crowd, finally reaching the very center of the cave.
His cold gaze swept through the crowd, circling around everyone, and finally....
It rested on Lu Yuan.
"Alfanzo."
He spoke coldly.
Lu Yuan's expression didn't change; he pulled a fierce grin on his face, then stepped towards the Sea Wolf.
During this process, the spiritual power and gaze belonging to the Sea Wolf were fixed on him, unrestrainedly "brutally" examining him.
Yet, Lu Yuan didn't feel any sense of nervousness inside.
If the perfect "replacement" ability of the Devouring Spirit Clan could be seen through by a mere eighth-level mechanician....
Then the words "Super Myth" following the [Devouring Spirit. Divine Demon Seed] might as well be meaningless.
Finally, Lu Yuan stood before the Sea Wolf.
Facing the cold eyes of the Sea Wolf so close at hand, Lu Yuan slightly lowered his head, avoiding eye contact with the other party.
"Someone told me... you died."
The Sea Wolf looked at him, speaking calmly.
"Too many people are wishing for my death."
Lu Yuan replied.
Slowly raising his head, he glanced around, with a wildly ferocious grin slowly appearing on his face.
"Especially after they found out I got the women they wanted but couldn't have... hehe..."
As he spoke, Lu Yuan cast his gaze into the distance towards Sonice, lifting his chin proudly as if showing off his trophy.
The Sea Wolf glanced over at Sonice, his face expressionless.
A few seconds later, he said faintly, "Next time, bring more people when you head out."
"Understood."
Lu Yuan nodded, showing a bit of respect, then "obediently" moved aside to stand beside the Sea Wolf.
Clearly.
This impersonated "Alfanzo," for the time being, had not revealed any flaws.
