Soon, the experimental results appeared.
And the results made Ling Xiaoyou very satisfied.
They tested nine sets of attacks to measure the power: arrows, spells, and physical attacks.
Don’t ask why Ling Xiaoyou still wanted to try physical attacks even though it was called a Spell Overclocking Technique.
Who said physical attacks aren’t a type of magic?
Magic is not such an inconvenient thing… Cough, just kidding.
Actually, it’s because some spells enhance physical functions.
Such enhancement spells require physical attacks to show obvious differences, so that’s why they were included in the attack tests.
First, the arrow test results.
Unfortunately, the Spell Overclocking Technique had no effect on arrows fired from a Spirit Tool.
Whether overclocked or not, the power did not change.
However, if a spell was cast through a Spirit Tool, its power could be overclocked, doubling the strength.
The effect was considerable.
Ling Xiaoyou estimated that the reason the Spirit Tool couldn’t be overclocked was that using the Spirit Tool to circulate Spiritual Power happened inside the tool, while using the Spirit Tool to cast a spell involved circulating Spiritual Power within her own body.
In other words, if she could replace the Spirit Tool’s internal Spiritual Power circulation, or modify the technique inside the tool, she should be able to bring it under overclocking as well.
But this was just a hypothesis.
Whether it could be realized would have to wait until later.
As for spell overclocking, it went without saying.
Since spells cast through a Spirit Tool could be overclocked, it was even more true for Ling Xiaoyou’s own casting.
As for the remaining physical attacks…
Thinking this, Ling Xiaoyou glanced at her own fair, tender little fist.
She only knew the most basic strength enhancement spell, which couldn’t even be considered a spell, just a skill.
But it could still be amplified by the Spell Overclocking Technique.
There was no denying it—
Spell Overclocking, you are amazing!
However…
Ling Xiaoyou looked again at the surroundings, which were even more devastated than before.
‘Strong indeed comes at a price.’
She had just finished this thought when she noticed Bai Shuanglian looking pensive, and curiously asked:
“What’s wrong, Bai Shuanglian?”
“Nothing, I was just thinking, since this Spell Overclocking Technique can even enhance the most basic strength enhancement spell, does that mean its application range is actually very wide?”
Bai Shuanglian pinched her chin thoughtfully and said:
“For example, if I were to inscribe array patterns on myself and treat my own body as a large-scale array being operated, could I use overclocking for amplification?”
“Or techniques like Void Talisman Drawing, can they also be overclocked?”
“Hmm…”
Hearing this, Ling Xiaoyou also pinched her smooth little chin and thought for a moment, then shook her head and said:
“I don’t know. I’d have to test it specifically to be sure, but I don’t know any of the techniques you mentioned.”
As she spoke, Ling Xiaoyou looked up at Bai Shuanglian and suddenly said:
“Why don’t I teach this technique to you, Bai Shuanglian? You can conduct the experiments!”
“Huh? Me?”
Bai Shuanglian was taken aback, then shook her head and said:
“But such a technique is very valuable, isn’t it? If you teach it to me…”
Before she could finish, Ling Xiaoyou cut her off cleanly.
The latter pouted, stood on tiptoes, pinched Bai Shuanglian’s cheeks and rubbed them hard, saying:
“It’s just a technique. Even if it’s valuable, so what? In my eyes, nothing is more important than you no matter how precious it is!”
Bai Shuanglian understood that she was truly a little angry.
Seeing Ling Xiaoyou like that and hearing those words, Bai Shuanglian felt so touched and delighted inside.
Although Bai Shuanglian didn’t know where Ling Xiaoyou had obtained this technique, she could tell that it was absolutely precious, even priceless.
If it were placed in a place like an auction house, the major powers would probably fight to get their hands on it.
But even with something like that, Ling Xiaoyou was still willing to teach it to her.
This showed that in her heart, she was more important than these things—much more!
Thinking this, the corners of Bai Shuanglian’s mouth lifted into a gentle smile.
She reached out and pulled Ling Xiaoyou into her arms, whispering:
“I understand, Xiaoyou. In my heart, you are also the most important!”
“…”
Ling Xiaoyou’s face flushed red.
It was only then that she realized how embarrassing her earlier words had been.
She coughed lightly and said:
“Cough, let’s not talk about such mushy things. Let’s first teach you this technique.”
After saying that, as if she couldn’t handle the intimacy, she withdrew from Bai Shuanglian’s embrace.
Her steps were a little flustered, and her face was flushed as she thought about how to teach Bai Shuanglian.
Seeing this, Bai Shuanglian chuckled softly, and the look in her eyes grew even gentler.
While Ling Xiaoyou and Bai Shuanglian were happily researching the Spell Overclocking Technique, some people on the other side were not as happy.
The Demon Grand Duke Weisasi sat silently on his throne, his gaze deep and fixed on the void in front of him, clearly lost in thought.
Beside him, the butler Dan He’er was giving orders to a subordinate over the phone:
“In any case, don’t act rashly. Just follow the previous instructions and use the identities prepared for you to lie low. As for what happens next, His Excellency the Grand Duke will make his own decision. You don’t need to worry.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone cleanly, with no intention of explaining further to the subordinate on the other end.
Then Dan He’er looked at the brooding Weisasi, thought for a moment, and decided not to disturb him.
He just stood quietly to the side, awaiting the Demon Grand Duke’s orders.
The place they were currently located was not the previous luxurious mansion, but a small world attached to the real world.
This world was completely controlled by Weisasi.
He could freely control entry, exit, and the spread of information.
In short, if he didn’t want to, no matter how the outside world searched for him, unless a Cultivator stronger than him used forceful Divination or employed a powerful Artifact, they would never be able to find this place.
But this was nothing more than waiting for death.
Cowering here, they could do nothing except wait, only barely learning about the outside world by contacting their subordinates outside.
Thinking of this, Dan He’er couldn’t help but sigh softly.
Why did things end up like this?
Probably starting from the day the Regulatory Division suddenly attacked the Demon Mansion and the Research Institute was invaded, everything took a sharp turn for the worse.
After that, demons were completely added to the Eastern Radiance wanted list.
And the most important target, the Demon Grand Duke Weisasi, who was wanted dead or alive, was the one under the most intense pursuit.
Not only the Regulatory Division and Exorcists, but also the Bounty Hunters, all had their eyes on Weisasi and his subordinates.
The weaker ones could only go after ordinary demons; the strong ones were targeting Weisasi and his elite subordinates.
Since that day up to now, over a dozen elites had been captured, and hundreds or thousands of ordinary demons had been arrested.
It could be said that the losses were severe.
But after all, Weisasi had been operating in Eastern Radiance for many years.
Even if his subordinates suffered heavy losses, it was not a fatal blow.
If he wanted to, he could rescue those subordinates at any time.
However…
Dan He’er cast a covert glance at Weisasi.
Since that day, the Demon Grand Duke seemed to have lost interest in everything.
Even as one subordinate after another was captured, he showed no interest, as if those matters had nothing to do with him.
Probably it was like the feeling of depression when you’re about to clear a game, but suddenly one wrong move causes the entire progress to collapse.
