Chapter 1345 The Secret Behind the Dog Cannon

Chapter 152 Dog Cannon

Just as Hao Ren finished speaking, Raven 12345 was stunned by the name, which was so refreshingly simple, straightforward, and full of postmodern aesthetic power: "Dog cannon? What's that?"

Lily immediately jumped up: "Landlord! How many times have I told you, mine is Divine Might Howling Sun Sky Strike!"

Vivian raised her eyelids and glanced at Lily: "Didn't you say it was Divine Might Howling Sun Splitting Sky Strike last time?"

Lily was taken aback: "Ah? Right..."

"So giving it such a long name is just making things difficult for your memory," Hao Ren said with a chuckle, explaining to Raven 12345, "It's like this, didn't I write in the report before, Lily suddenly awakened a new skill in the Korol region, able to spit out dynamic light waves, and Lockmarton's defensive layer was blown open by her mouthful of salt soda… Okay, okay, no salt soda, get the idea, get the idea… Lily, be quiet!"

The husky girl, who had worked so hard to develop her super dazzling move, was now beyond furious after being ridiculed time and time again. She bared her fangs and brandished her claws, searching for a place to bite and claw at Hao Ren, who struggled to restrain her. Raven 12345, on the other hand, showed an interested expression on her face: "Oh? 'Dog cannon' is the one you mentioned in the report? Lily, give a demonstration, let me see what's going on."

The goddess's words still carried "majesty," and Lily reluctantly retracted her sharp teeth and claws, scratching her cheek a little embarrassedly: "Right here? Well, I haven't mastered this skill very well yet. If I fail, you're not allowed to laugh."

"It's okay. When I created life for the first time, I cried at how ugly it was. Just demonstrate here—aim at an empty space."

Lily responded with an "oh" and reached out to Hao Ren: "Landlord, water cup!"

Raven 12345 felt that even her own insane thought core couldn't keep up with this line of thinking: "What do you need a water cup for?"

Hao Ren chuckled drily as he took out a thermos filled with water from his personal space and explained, "Spellcasting material, spellcasting material..."

Lily took the water cup, composed herself, and took a big gulp. Then, facing the empty space, she concentrated her energy, sinking her breath into her *dantian* (a center of energy in the body). The entire husky suddenly burst out with an unprecedentedly strong aura!

And then, nothing happened.

The husky girl looked at Hao Ren with a mournful face: "Landlord, I accidentally swallowed it..."

"Can you ever be serious?!" Hao Ren almost passed out in anger. "Why didn't you swallow it when you were squirting water at Doudou?!"

Lily looked embarrassed: "A little nervous... Should I bring Doudou over again?"

Hao Ren waved his hand: "Don't mess around. Spitting out dynamic light waves not only requires spellcasting materials but also a protector. Can your skill be any more useless? Come on, I believe in you. If you succeed, I'll stew ribs for you when we get back."

Lily's spirits immediately lifted at the mention of this. This time, she didn't even bother with any preparation. She directly took a mouthful of water and started sparking with energy. Then, she turned her head and with a "poof," a beam of bright white light, as thick as a fist, tore through the air and shot into the distance, accompanied by splashing water and a hint of rainbow...

Hao Ren didn't expect her to succeed so smoothly this time and was a little surprised. Vivian even muttered in a low voice, "A dog's mouth can really spit out anything... She's mastered it pretty quickly."

Raven 12345 watched this scene with interest and suddenly asked, "What was the situation when you first burst out this ability? Did your body feel any different at the time? Did you need this… 'spellcasting material' at the time?"

Lily recalled: "It was on the battlefield, with fighting all around. The landlord was firing at Lockmarton in the sky, and the wardens were also fighting in the sky. But I didn't have any ranged attacks. I only knew the Heavenly Horse Meteor Brick move, but I couldn't use it because I was in beast form at the time (couldn't grab the bricks). So I was really anxious, and I was just shouting at Lockmarton..."

Vivian murmured to Hao Ren, "Hear that? The instinct of a dog. When they can't beat someone, they stand far away and yell as hard as they can, the more they yell, the more cowardly they become."

Lily clearly heard Vivian's words and immediately glared back angrily before continuing her recollection: "At that time, I felt a swelling in my body, as if something was about to burst out. And my head started to spin, and I felt like there was light everywhere. When I came to my senses, I had already roared, and a beam of light shot out of my mouth. I was so shocked at the time."

Vivian continued to mutter in a low voice, "I feel like she was just scared and threw up?"

"Bat, are you done yet! Believe it or not, I'll spray you to death with salt soda—I can really spray you to death with salt soda now, you know!"

After shouting, Lily continued, "But I didn't need any 'spellcasting materials' at that time, probably because I was in beast form, and my power was stronger? I tried it again after I got home, and I could indeed use this move directly when I transformed into beast form. But in human form, I must… uh, drink water. I guess it's because I used drinking water as a guide at first, and it became a dependency."

Lily recounted the cause and effect of her move, as well as the "spellcasting process" in two different forms, along with her own analysis and guesses. Vivian and Hao Ren couldn't help but become serious:

Although the husky girl's life was a mess and the skills she mastered were bizarre, she wasn't stupid. Obviously, even with such a strange phenomenon, she had carefully analyzed the logic behind it.

"How many times can you use this skill in human form? What about beast form?" Raven 12345 continued to ask in detail.

"The light beam in beast form is particularly powerful, and one shot can penetrate a small hill, but the consumption is also particularly high. After firing seven or eight shots, I get dizzy. The light cannon in human or werewolf form is much weaker, but the consumption is also very low, usually twenty or thirty times."

Hao Ren thought for a moment: "Is it because you can't drink any more after that?"

Lily glared: "I only swallow it occasionally, okay! Most of the time, I successfully spray the water out!"

"Interesting..." Raven 12345 didn't pay attention to the noise of the three people in front of her but instead revealed a playful smile, "A little interesting."

"What have you figured out, old lady?" Hao Ren immediately felt that Raven 12345 seemed to know something.

"Her light cannon carries a trace of divinity. The source of the divinity is not surprising. After all, she has a lot of contact with me and has eaten a lot of things with divinity. Everyone around you has a certain amount of divinity for the same reason, which is transmitted from me," Raven 12345 looked into Lily's eyes. "What's interesting is that Lily can actually extract this trace of divinity and turn it into an active offensive power. You know, except for you, who have studied the work manual and are the Pope, so you have mastered various active divine arts, everyone around you only passively carries this power. They can survive in a chaotic environment, but they can't actively refine and stimulate this power into their own power. Only Lily has broken this limit, and it seems that she has done it instinctively."

Lily's eyes widened: "So, I'm actually very powerful?"

Hao Ren ignored Lily's self-praise and looked at Raven 12345 with curiosity: "Why is this?"

He really couldn't figure out why the dumbest guy in the house had become the only "genius"!

"Soul, I suspect the soul is playing a role," Raven 12345 said quietly. "Don't forget, her soul comes from the Demon Hunter King. Maybe that's what makes her different."

"Because of the First Saint's soul?" Hao Ren immediately felt that Raven 12345's guess seemed to make sense, but this kind of unfounded guess was not convincing enough. "Okay, the First Saint's soul is indeed a very special thing, but how can we be sure that it is this soul that is playing a role and not something else?"

Vivian spread her hands: "Lily is composed of two parts, one part is the Demon Hunter's soul, and the other part is just..."

"Okay, you don't need to say anything, I understand."

If it wasn't the Demon Hunter leader's soul that was playing a role, then all that was left was the husky's body. Anyone with a normal sense of logic probably wouldn't think that the husky was a "perfect creature" with a divine gift...

"Then it seems that it is indeed possible that the First Saint's soul has given Lily this 'talent'," Hao Ren rubbed his chin. "To be able to absorb divinity and transform it into a controllable power within a certain range... Isn't this talent a bit heaven-defying? Can mortals control something like divinity?"

"It's not as powerful as you think, because such weak divinity can't even be considered divinity anymore. It can even be classified as a universal version of 'divine art'," Raven 12345 shook her head. "Mortals learn this power through prayer, bestowal, worshiping gods, and other methods, just like learning magic and martial arts. But Lily obviously skipped these steps and directly mastered the release of divine art through the instinct in her soul—her light cannon is a standard divine art in my opinion."

Vivian looked at Lily with surprise: "So your 'dog cannon' is actually a divine art?"

Lily raised her neck: "I told you a long time ago that you have to use a more solemn name! Divine art, this is divine art! Are you embarrassed to call it 'dog cannon'?"

"Then are you planning to change the dog cannon's name according to the Raven 12345 divine system's divine art naming table?" Hao Ren squinted at Lily. "I can remind you that 'Old Lady Protects You Shield' is considered a refreshing and refined faction in this divine art list, and your dog cannon is definitely, certainly, and absolutely in the Raven 12345 divine art system."

Lily immediately wilted: "..."

At this time, Raven 12345 interrupted the conversation of the three people in front of her: "The divine art itself is not important, what is important is the possible secret behind it: Why does the Demon Hunter's soul talent have this effect?"
