345: Chapter 225: Strangler 345: Chapter 225: Strangler The Strangler (Heavy Armor Warrior) is a common heavy armor warrior pathway at the low-level, and what sets it apart from other battle-professions is that it doesn’t have a Breathing Technique, but instead has “Armor Mastery”.
This specialization increases the strength and practical skills of the armor.
Previously, Lu Ping’an would have seen it as a “rule of the world,” but now, looking back, it’s just a different development path for the pathway.
Breathing Technique strengthens the body and is part of the Transformation system.
Armor Mastery strengthens the armor and is an external attachment, actually belonging to the Protection/Binding system.
Although it seems like only a functional difference, in reality, the “source” of the rules they borrow from might be different.
There is a limit to a single profession module, and the time and spirit of a professional are also limited, so naturally, one can’t cultivate both…
unless you take on another profession.
“Mastering armor specialization is too difficult.
First, get an abnormal ability in weapon specialization and then worry about the profession’s success.”
Heavy Armor Warriors are already a rare profession within the scope of Lu Ping’an’s experience, and this profession is employed mostly in the military.
It’s expensive to maintain, and for Lu Ping’an to find a suitable one and have him wearing armor for several days, it’s unrealistic.
Even if everything was achievable, considering the improvement speed of weapons and armor specialization, it’s hard to say how far they could get in just a few days.
Fortunately, awakening an abnormal ability within a 1-tier profession is enough for Stranglers, and they don’t necessarily need “Armor Mastery”.
Getting a higher-level “Weapon Specialization” ability would be acceptable.
“…It’s you, my first weapon system abnormal ability, Armor Breaker!”
Armor Breaker, officially named “Armed Destruction,” is a universal abnormal ability for Heavy Armor Warriors, axe soldiers, hammer soldiers, and other heavy weapon soldiers.
It’s simple, crude, and effective!
Following Lu Ping’an’s command, “Armed Destruction Tips 100/100” completed the transformation, and the system panel added some prompts.
[Black-iron level spell Armed Destruction: Observe the weak points of the opponent’s weapon and armor, concentrate on accumulating power for 1 to 10 seconds, gather the destructive power in your own weapon, and after hitting, there is a certain chance of destroying the opponent’s equipment.]
This is a comprehensive abnormal ability that requires quite a few things, and once trained to the later stages, it can even let you intuitively perceive the weak points of your opponent’s equipment.
There are also many usage restrictions; the longer the “charging time,” the better the effect, the stronger your weapon, the better, the more accurate the weak points you see, the better, but ultimately, it’s still a matter of chance.
As for why everyone is used to calling it “Armor Breaker” rather than “Destroying Weapons,” it’s because the “weak point” keeps moving and you have to charge, so it’s very difficult to hit the fatal point of the weapon in actual combat.
However, hitting the weak point of a large target, a large magic monster, or heavy armor is relatively simple.
Lu Ping’an clicked on the system’s prompt, and more information was fed back.
[Usage Requirements: Any Weapon Specialization Lv7, Breathing Technique Lv4, Mental Power Release Lv 4, Black Iron middle-rank spiritual power, Black Iron.middle-rank physique, Armed Destruction tips 100/100.]
Honestly, the requirements are quite high.
A Lv7 weapon would already be considered a weapon master on a real battlefield, and it also requires Breathing Technique and Mental Power Release, both with high hardware attributes.
Although there are no explicit requirements, those who can meet these conditions are basically 2-tier battle-professionals.
But for Lu Ping’an, since he needs to awaken an abnormal ability to complete the advancement anyway, he might as well pick a useful one.
[Note: This abnormal ability can destroy the opponent’s equipment while also wearing down or even destroying your own weapon.
Currently, it’s a Black-iron level ability, and weapons made of high-quality metal such as Brass can ignore it.]
The “destruction” power infused into the ability first harms oneself before others, which is natural.
However, the current restrictions for Lu Ping’an, who is used to using good weapons, are almost non-existent.
And after gaining this abnormal ability, Lu Ping’an has also completed his advancement, truly becoming a first-tier battle-professional.
[Beep, congratulations Host, successfully awakened profession abnormal ability, the induction ceremony is complete, gained the professional rank ‘Strangler (Heavy Armor Warrior)’]
[Strangler profession modifier: Significant increase in Physique, slight increase in Reflex, small increase in Spirit.]
It’s within expectations that a profession mainly based on Physique has some slight increase in Spirit, making it somewhat special, but Lu Ping’an knows that this is a unique aspect of the “Evil Gods profession”.
However, there are still some unexpected surprises and shocks.
[Congratulations Host, after arduous and extraordinary training, your Physique has broken through the Upper Black Iron level!]
[Current state: Physique (Upper Black Iron), Reflex (Black Iron Lower Level), Spirit (Upper Black Iron)]
[Warning: Reflex attribute is too low, the perfect balance between body and spirit has been broken, please supplement as soon as possible.]
This reminder is also quite subtle.
Lu Ping’an moved his body around, feeling less agile than before, without the comfort of having his mind and body follow each other.
This is an indescribable state.
Breaking it seems quite bad, but for now, he can only find a way to remedy it later.
But the increased Physique brings improved endurance, strength, and explosive power, which greatly enhances his ongoing battle-professional cultivation.
Overall, it’s a good thing.
As a profession of Evil Gods, the Strangler also has some differences.
[Cumulative 267 kills, 16 hours of cumulative time, outstanding ritual completion evaluation, the ‘Calamity Arm’ seed has received enough nourishment and has sprouted…
Congratulations Host, you have obtained the Slaughter Insignia ‘Calamity Arm’.]
The triangle arrangement of raindrop marks on the back of his left hand has turned from raindrops into “vertical eyes,” and the bloody glow in them is somewhat enchanting.
Lu Ping’an gave it a try and master this “simple protection system abnormal ability.”
On his left hand glove, there appeared a blood-red insignia with three eyes.
The next moment, it became heavy and hard, like rock.
Its function is quite simple; just activate it, and the left hand’s armor will become strong and powerful…
Like most defensive abnormal abilities, this is still its basic function.
If you want other abilities, you have to wait for advancement and ability development.
The specialty of Stranglers’ profession is that as long as they continue to offer sacrifices “feeding” on the Slaughter Insignias, the strength of these marks will continue to increase.
The current strength is subtle, but at least Lu Ping’an himself can break the “rock.”
But with the advancement of this “Heavy Armor Warrior” profession, the number of Slaughter Insignias will also increase, and by then, the whole body will be as strong as a Vajra after being buffed.
This profession’s characteristics, like those of the Heavy Armor Warrior profession, are simple, straightforward, and effective.
Wearing armor outside armor, it is especially suitable for the battlefield, which is precisely what Lu Ping’an needs.
However, for the current Lu Ping’an, there are some minor issues.
“I have a warhorse now but no riding skills, and I have become a Heavy Armor Warrior, but I don’t have armor anymore…”
