Chapter 806
The Secret of Faith
The two sides engaged in the most intense hand-to-hand combat, using their hands, feet, and even their heads and teeth as weapons in a constant struggle.
The intensity of the fight drew cheers from the surrounding beastmen!
boom!
Bloodfang leader threw a punch, which landed squarely on Black Claw's face.
Black Claw staggered back two steps after being hit, with half of his foot firmly planted on the ground, and his whole body almost swayed and fell over.
However, with just a slight sway, Black Claw immediately regained his balance, and his injuries began to heal gradually.
"Roar!"
The Bloodfang leader charged forward again, swinging wildly left and right, forcing Black Claw to retreat repeatedly.
The fight between the two sides was a protracted battle.
Blood continued to splatter everywhere, and the many orcs present watched with great excitement, cheering loudly.
"Roar!"
Just then, one of the orcs suddenly shouted.
"Black Claw!"
In an instant, this caused a huge stir, and the other orcs also began to shout their own slogans.
"Black Claw!"
"Black Claw!"
As the orcs shouted, a great deal of faith power flew out and flowed directly into Black Claw's body.
The power of faith did not immediately settle down or strengthen Black Claw as it had before, but instead quickly helped him recover.
Heal wounds.
Repair the physical body.
Jiang Shu, who was watching from a distance, saw this scene clearly.
"At such a low level, it can still rely on the laws of faith to restore its physical body and increase its strength. It doesn't need any martial arts or skills, just the power of the laws. I just don't know what level this power of the laws can support this clone to cultivate to."
"At what level can an orc be considered to have attained enlightenment?"
Jiang Shu stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.
His clone, Black Claw, was ultimately no match for Bloodfang, the orc leader.
However, since it is a clone born from one of his thoughts, it can naturally use some cheating methods.
With a little skill, one can gradually take control of the situation.
"These orcs probably don't understand any laws of faith. But their roars can, to some extent, provide a kind of blessing."
"The more you believe, the easier it is to obtain the power of the laws of faith. It's quite amazing."
Jiang Shu muttered to himself.
The electric current beside him nodded slightly. "Although it sounds very bizarre, the underlying reason is not beyond our expectations. The effects of the Law of Faith are diverse. Perhaps we can conduct a few more experiments."
Jiang Shu nodded slightly.
On the battlefield, every time Black Claw was knocked to the ground, he would quickly recover under the watchful eyes and even the anticipation of the other orcs.
"We can't be defeated! We can't be defeated!"
Black Claw roared to the sky, and with the blessing of faith, its body was rapidly restored once again.
Is this kid really invincible...?
The same thought crossed the mind of the Bloodfang leader.
In an instant, even the power of faith that had been gathered on the Bloodfang leader began to dissipate.
Because he has begun to lack self-confidence.
The two sides resumed their fight.
At that moment, Black Claw suddenly raised its hand and roared, "Black Claw!"
After two roars, his hands, which were originally green, turned pitch black, and the surrounding orcs roared in response.
"Black Claw!"
"Black Claw!"
"Black Claw!"
Some of the orcs who were closely following Blackclaw became increasingly excited, as they had previously witnessed Blackclaw use this claw to tear apart other orc leaders.
The next moment, Black Claw suddenly launched a counterattack.
The claw slashed down heavily, and Bloodfang originally intended to defend as before, but this time, an enormous force suddenly rushed towards him.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Bloodfang leader was blasted ten meters away and crashed heavily to the ground!
boom!
A house built of stones was suddenly destroyed.
Seeing this, the hundred orcs watching were speechless with astonishment.
They immediately started cheering.
At the same time, Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately noticed that amidst the cheers, the strength of his clone's hands had begun to increase again.
"It's probably increased by about 10% or 20%, definitely not several times as much. It seems there are still too few orcs here, so the boost they bring is still limited."
He believes that even if the laws of faith can function in many ways, they must still follow certain fundamental rules.
If we want the power of this faith to become greater and more enduring, we will probably need more orcs to believe in something for a long time.
With only one or two hundred of them right now, it's already the limit for Black Claw to have the ability to recover quickly and increase its strength.
"Let's end this..."
Jiang Shu gave the order, and the clone Black Claw did not engage in hand-to-hand combat as before, but began to use techniques.
The previously evenly matched situation immediately reversed. Bloodfang could no longer hold on and was repeatedly slammed to the ground, ultimately losing.
"Roar!"
The orcs immediately cheered in unison, celebrating Black Claw's victory.
However, this time they only released a small amount of faith power, clearly indicating that each orc has a limited capacity to provide faith power.
"But it's okay. I'll recover every day, and over time, my clone will definitely become stronger."
Jiang Shu nodded to himself.
In a sense, the fact that his clone Black Claw was able to win in this way was largely due to his cheating behind the scenes.
However, Jiang Shu and Dian Liu also received a message from the Law of Faith.
"Justification by faith means that as long as you believe, things will be accomplished perfectly, provided that there is sufficient faith as a foundation."
The mechanical master summarized the explanation of electric current in this way.
Jiang Shu nodded slightly and then said, "No rush. Let my clone grow a little longer and become the leader of this great tribe."
The Black Mountain tribe has a total of nearly a thousand orcs, and under the leadership of Black Mountain, there are a total of seven or eight minor leaders.
These minor leaders also had their own underlings.
Now that Blackclaw has defeated Bloodfang, according to orcish custom, he has become a minor leader under the chief Blackshan.
That evening, he met the leader, Black Mountain.
"You... defeated Bloodfang?"
Black Mountain's body was even larger than Blood Fang's, nearly four meters tall, and its skin shimmered like metal. Every time it raised its hand or foot, the ground would tremble slightly.
Clearly, having received the power of faith from thousands of orcs, this orc leader was no ordinary being.
"It was me, Black Claw won!" Black Claw immediately announced.
"Okay! From now on, you'll call me leader!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Black Mountain leader swaggered away.
He could see the provocation in Black Claw's eyes, but he didn't care. Many of his underlings had had the same thought.
Without exception, everyone who stood before him and chose to challenge him was utterly defeated by him!
Until death!
A few days later, Black Claw absorbed some more faith power, strengthening itself, and then approached another orc whose strength was not much different from Bloodfang's.
"challenge!"
Faced with the challenge, the orc immediately agreed without the slightest hesitation.
The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle, with three or four hundred orcs already watching. Without a doubt, Black Claw won once again.
This time, Jiang Shu compared the two and found that Black Claw's recovery ability was even stronger.
In addition, after Black Claw turned his hands black, his power increased by as much as 20%.
"Indeed, the law of faith is that the more you believe, and the more genuine your belief, the better the effect."
Jiang Shu nodded inwardly.
Then, Black Claw would occasionally demonstrate its characteristics and challenge other minor leaders, defeating them and constantly strengthening itself with the power of faith.
Such a cultivation speed far surpasses that of humans. This level of strength and cultivation can almost be said to have been acquired by chance, making it extremely easy.
however……
"These powers of faith are slowly eroding my seal?"
Jiang Shu was taken aback.
He placed an emotional seal on his clone, Black Claw, to prevent it from becoming too reckless and impulsive, or even being influenced by the orc's body.
However, as Black Claw continued to absorb the power of faith, the seal set up by Jiang Shu was slowly collapsing.
Although it will take a very long time to break his seal, that is already terrifying enough.
It's truly unbelievable that the faith power of nearly a few hundred orcs could erode the seal personally set up by Jiang Shu.
"In other words, to reach the end on the path of faith, one needs to maintain one's own will?"
Jiang Shu pondered carefully.
"I think it is true. The path of faith involves elements such as belief, emotions, and will, and has the function of turning falsehood into truth and reversing cause and effect, but this must come at a corresponding price."
The Mechanical Venerable Electric Current explained from the side: "After these few days of dissection and research, the orc race is too strange. They seem to be born with a belief in the law, perfectly meeting all the elements required by the law, such as extremely fast reproduction, being prone to emotionality, and generally having low intelligence, etc."
"However, these are all auxiliary factors. The most crucial point is that the orcs are born with a trace of the law of faith in their bodies. This allows them to generate a continuous stream of law power, making them almost a race born with the law of faith."
Jiang Shu nodded.
Different races often have different characteristics.
Just as the Astral Titans are extremely adept at the laws of force, the Zerg are adept at the laws of reproduction and creation.
But the orcs right now are more suited to a certain method than they are, just like...
Jiang Shu withdrew his gaze and said, "It's as if these beastmen were created later in life, specifically for walking this great path of laws."
"Your assessment is a very insightful speculation, and I agree with Venerable Jiang's hypothesis."
The mechanical venerable one immediately expressed his agreement.
However, if this assumption is true, then an even more important question arises.
Who modified or created these orcs, enabling them to directly embark on the path of faith?
Are they eternal warriors?
Or perhaps the eternal warriors are merely one of the orcs, and not the true source of the laws of faith.
Jiang Shu vaguely sensed that the orcs' schemes were probably very complex.
He had come into contact with sages before and knew that even sages could not completely create a race.
This orc race is far more complex than he currently understands it to be.
"Let's continue observing the experiment."
Jiang Shu wasn't in a hurry. He had already sent a message through other means, and there was nothing for him to do in the Mingkuang Star Sector for the time being.
……
Several more days followed.
Under constant challenges, the orc Blackclaw grew stronger and stronger, and some orcs gradually joined its ranks.
Some orcs even gave Blackclaw a name.
Black Claw didn't care.
On the contrary, it was because of these titles that his strength grew stronger and stronger.
After all, these titles can be seen, in a sense, as a reflection of the faith and worship that many orcs have for him.
At this moment, compared to when he was just born, Blackclaw is now nearly three meters tall, with a powerful physique. Standing among a group of orcs, he can be considered the strongest and most outstanding one.
After all, by this time, his name was known to almost every orc in the tribe.
Some of the orcs' faith power was given to the Black Mountain leader, and a considerable portion was given to Black Claw.
Jiang Shu also realized that within this system, it was extremely difficult to attack from below.
After all, the majority of faith is inevitably given to the strongest one.
For the weak to rise against the odds and become stronger, they must do something extremely difficult to change the direction of other orcs' worship, or obtain something from the outside.
"It's time to directly enhance the clone's strength and let him take over the entire Black Mountain tribe."
Just as Jiang Shu was about to do this, a message suddenly interrupted his actions.
Another tribe launched an attack on the Black Mountain tribe!
The area they were in was a vast plain, inhabited by numerous orc tribes, with the Black Mountain tribe being just one insignificant one among them.
This time, the tribe attacking the Black Mountain tribe was another tribe called the Great Knife.
That night, the leader of the Big Knife tribe, Big Knife, led nearly a hundred elite orcs and charged directly into the Black Mountain tribe.
At this moment, thanks to the warning from its own entity, Black Claw had already sensed the invasion of an external enemy.
"Enemy! Invasion!"
Black Claw kicked the sleeping orcs awake one by one, and they waited in the tribe ahead of time.
Before long, the leader of the Big Knife Tribe led over a hundred orcs into the camp.
At this moment, the leader of the Great Sword Tribe charged into the beastmen's ranks with what was more like a block of iron than a great sword.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"
The warrior roared and swung the iron block in his hand, each swing cleaving the orc in half at the waist like a divine weapon.
In an instant, the leader with the big sword slaughtered more than a dozen orcs as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
"A broadsword!"
A roar suddenly rang out, and the Black Mountain leader, whose body shimmered with a metallic sheen, leaped out.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
He swung the broadsword wildly, wielding the iron block in his hand, and struck Heishan directly in the body.
Clang!
A clang of metal clashing rang out, and bursts of fire flashed from Black Mountain's body. (End of Chapter)
