Chapter 220: A Hero Beyond the Law (Part )
Seeing Wang Yao's tone full of temptation, Zhuge Liang's mouth corners unconsciously curled up slightly, and he smiled faintly: "No matter what, I am the supreme commander of the three armies, and the designated assistant of Su An, who you respect. Do you not trust me so much?"

"Hmph, that's hard to say. After all, you heroes seem to be aloof on the surface, but in fact you are hypocrites who deceive even the soldiers. Who knows whether you, a disciple of Jixia Academy, are deliberately playing long games to incite me to rebel?" Wang Yao said with a wry smile, his eyes full of distrust.

"Haha, thinking of me like this only shows how dark your heart is right now." Zhuge Liang couldn't help but shook his head slightly, and then his expression became serious.

"But I have to admit that you are indeed much more perceptive than I thought. Yes, just as you guessed, the reason why our Jixia Academy has such a strong appeal in the continent where the great powers are fighting for hegemony is largely because we have obtained some ancient knowledge left over from the fragments of the Heavenly Book, and then mastered the ancient technology crystallization for the promotion and upgrade of heroes. This is also one of the reasons why most heroes have to succumb to our Jixia Academy. But don't worry, I will never let you go to Jixia Academy to be promoted, so don't be so self-indulgent and have conspiracy theories."

"I'm not being sentimental. I think twice before I act. You're a great hero, so how can you understand the survival of us soldiers?" Wang Yao rolled his eyes and showed his disdain for Zhuge Liang's ridicule. Then he said, "So, I don't need to go to Jixia Academy to become a hero?"

"Yes." Zhuge Liang nodded. "Normally, no matter which hero wants to be promoted, it must be completed in the well-equipped Jixia Academy. But in fact, behind the scenes, I have been devoted to the study of the fragments of the Heavenly Book a long time ago. Over the years, I have mastered a lot of knowledge that is far beyond the reach of ordinary scholars. In addition to the countless experiments with Su An in the past few years, I have considerable confidence that I can let you perfectly inherit Su An's fire."

Hearing this, Wang Yao couldn't help but interrupt: "Wait, inherit Su An's fire? What does this mean?"

The big tent fell silent again without any warning.

Zhuge Liang slowly closed his eyes, as if he was in a state of meditation. Wang Yao, who had a strong sense of perception, also realized from the subtle vibrations in the air around him that he was detecting whether there was anyone within a hundred meters.
After a while, as if to confirm again and again that there was no one lurking or staying around, Zhuge Liang opened his eyes again and said solemnly: "It is not easy to create a hero. It involves transformation, transmission, genes, the combination of matter and non-matter, and so on. There are millions of theories and data. I will not explain the academic principles in detail. You just need to know that there are two necessary core technologies to constitute a hero. One is the 'spark' as a gene container. This is an extremely precious and non-renewable crystallization of the highest ancient technology. It is also the source of the heroes' power. For thousands of years, countless candidates have relied on it to inherit the power of heroes of past generations. The second is the 'skill module'. As the name suggests, it is these modules that give heroes powerful means of attack. The two complement each other, and combined with the body functions tempered to the extreme, it has created the heroes' supernatural power!"

For some reason, when chatting with Zhuge Liang, Wang Yao found a rare illusion that he was chatting with young people of his generation. Many of the nouns involved, for example, would be confusing if he told them to Luna.

Is it that Zhuge Liang's thoughts have transcended this era? Or is it because he devoted his life to studying the heavenly book and gained some postmodern knowledge from it?
Wang Yao did not delve into this question further, because he had something more important to ask: "You said earlier that Captain Su An's true identity is Overlord Xiang Yu. If I inherit his fire, does that mean I will also become a tank-type hero?"

After saying this, Wang Yao couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

He didn't mean to dislike Su An, but in fact, his ideal choice could be a mage or an assassin. He just didn't like tanks that only acted as shields and had low burst output. Perhaps this was a preconceived notion, just like when he was playing King of Glory a long time ago, he became less and less able to play tanks in the later stages.

However, it turned out that Wang Yao had completely underestimated Zhuge Liang's talent and Su An's ambition. He was inexperienced and did not understand how unimaginable the storm would be when a genius and a hegemon of the old times worked together on a goal!
"You are not just a tank." Zhuge Liang said shockingly: "Have you ever thought about it? If a hero has a strong body like a tank, the hiding ability like an assassin, and the destructive power like a wizard! How terrifying would that be?"

At this moment, an expression that had never appeared before appeared on Zhuge Liang's usually indifferent face, one of fanaticism, ecstasy, and madness, just like a little child, with shining eyes and dancing with joy.

"What? Haven't you heard of it? In fact, this hybrid theory was a fantasy that Su An casually brought up when he was drunk and I were drinking one night two years ago. Maybe Su An just spoke out of turn after drinking, but when I heard it for the first time, I was shocked by this fantastic idea and was deeply impressed by Su An! And the most important thing is that after our two years of research, many data have shown that this theory can be technically realized! Did you hear that? This great theory that was accidentally imagined can actually be realized! You are also surprised, right? A wild hero who has gathered all the types of known heroes, stands outside the laws of all things, and has no traces of any power will be born on this continent!" Zhuge Liang talked incessantly like a child who had been lonely for a long time and finally found someone to share the little-known secrets and achievements in his heart. Until he suddenly found that Wang Yao changed from being shocked at the beginning to looking at him with a half-smile in the end, Zhuge Liang realized that he had lost his composure.

"Ahem, anyway, this is the case. You will inherit Su An's fire, but not his skill modules." After coughing twice subconsciously to ease the awkward atmosphere, Zhuge Liang regained his original indifferent look and said, "Don't look at me like that. An ordinary person like you who knows nothing about the power of knowledge will never understand the feelings of us scholars who are dedicated to studying the fragments of the Heavenly Book! You know, this is a pioneering work that is worthy of being recorded in history, and it is also a milestone in the epic!"

Looking at Zhuge Liang who was talking to himself with a slightly unnatural blush on his face, Wang Yao sighed with a bit of a laugh. He hadn't said anything yet, so why was he being so shy?
Even so, Wang Yao still had some expectations for this novel innovation, so he said, "That's it. I'm a complete layman and don't care about technical theories and processes. I only care about the results. I'll leave everything to you, the expert."

Many times, trusting a person is often unconscious.
After a pause, as if remembering something, Wang Yao suddenly pointed to his left eye and said, "By the way, if I become a hero, can I regenerate this eye?"

"No way." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Although heroes have strong self-healing abilities, yours is purely an acquired injury. Even if you become a hero, you can no longer recover naturally."

"Can't you think of a solution for me?" Wang Yao still didn't give up. He definitely didn't want to be a one-eyed dragon. That would damage his image too much!

As a result, Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows in displeasure and said, "In your opinion, appearance is so important? As a wild hero who is about to become a new concept, you should be aware of it and strive to pursue breakthroughs in your abilities. You are not a good person in this regard."

After saying this with great righteousness, Zhuge Liang glanced at Wang Yao's face again and said, "Besides, I think you look much better now than before, when you were white and clean like a woman."

"Hehe." Looking at Zhuge Liang's beautiful and flawless face, Wang Yao suddenly felt that this guy was just talking nonsense. If appearance is really not important, why are more than 70% of the heroes so handsome? ! There is a saying that "your appearance determines whether I want to know your inner self", which shows that in this age of appearance, appearance is still very important!

But in the end, he could only sigh in frustration and give up. Then, changing the subject, Wang Yao asked again, "I have another question. You told me before that the Canyon Battlefield is actually a large energy converter. Its function is to collect a certain special energy from the dead soldiers and use it as a biological energy source to extract the crystals of the earth, that is, energy crystals.

But energy crystals are essential for heroes to upgrade, so can we say that all energy crystals will eventually flow to Jixia Academy, the only one that can provide heroes with upgrades? What is the purpose of Jixia Academy's deliberate collection of large quantities of energy crystals?"

This topic seemed much more serious than the previous ones, because the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became cold.
