The old man was very excited, but that excitement was soon replaced by worry. The warlock branch has been without a student for many years, so that person is certainly a student of a different branch. Without a proper instructor on the warlock path, they will certainly have a difficult time.
This is the reason why the old man put the sheepskin book in a conspicuous place. Really, that seemingly ordinary sheepskin book should not be found on the second floor.
It truly belongs at the top of the tower, the 20th layer.
But these things should be handed over to those who can use them. It is the reason for their existence.
For the first time the old man's face split into a smile, his eyes filled with expectations.
"Little guy, do not let my painstaking efforts go to waste…"
Shen Yanxiao felt that the sheepskin book was truly a wonderful thing.
However, such detailed and systematic notes being held on the second floor… She was very puzzled.
Shen Yanxiao could not wait to see the notes on combination curse techniques. Particularly, there was a combination technique called collapse she was interested in. It is a combined curse technique involving the combination of five single-based techniques. The effect is to cause the enemy to turn into a waste after a short period of time. The strength of the effect is influenced by the gap in strength between the curse cast and the opponent.
If the curse is stronger or equal in strength, then so long as Shen Yanxiao can complete the curse it will take hold of her opponent. If successful, the other side will have their actions slowed and their whole body will become weak and similar to a waste.
If the curse is weaker, the opponent will still be affected to a great degree so long as the difference in strength is not more than 3-levels. However, if there is a greater than 5-level difference the curse will be completely nullified.
There is another combination curse technique, illusion, which involves the combination of four single-based techniques that results in a more formidable effect. If successful, the castor can trap their opponent in a fantasy and control them for a short period of time. If used effectively, it can be an invisible killer. Cast it on an individual, then sit back and let them break themselves.
Shen Yanxiao had to say that although the combinations involved in these two curses are not extensive, the effects are extremely amazing. No wonder people on the continent were so set on getting rid of warlocks. Who wants to one day accidentally become an enemy of a warlock and then find that their generation of experts had changed into waste? With no way to fight back, their deaths would be guaranteed. Or if facing the illusion curse, without seeing the opposing party at all they would obediently kill themselves with their own swords.
Shen Yanxiao was happy to learn.
However, unknown to her, these two seemingly simple techniques were actually master-level curses.
Typical masters start studying single-based techniques, then they will move on to dual-based and triple-based. Only after mastering these levels will they move on to study four and five combination techniques.
Directly jumping to four and five level combinations was simply unheard of!
