This Lord is Very Scientific

The forest was cold and dark.

Lin Ke slowly recalled the contents of the laws of thermodynamics and finally decided to implement both heat absorption and release.

In combination with the second law of thermodynamics: Heat cannot spontaneously transfer from a colder body to a hotter body.

Second skill—Zero Degree!

Third skill—Overheat!

The three bloodlines moved slowly after meditation.

His three bloodlines were already like small trees, with many branching twigs apart from the main stem.

On the far left "Knowledge" branch, two leaves slowly extended from the main trunk's [Scholar] twigs, one representing Zero Degree, the other Overheat.

The process of constructing skills was not difficult; discovering the principles behind the skills was the hard part, only then could they be constructed.

The two small leaves gently swayed, and Lin Ke smiled, exiting the Soul Space.

...

In the campsite.

Lin Ke, Garoce, and Ove, along with others, gathered around a campfire. The people around were chatting and laughing, while there were sentries on duty and a [Chef] cooking.

There was no choice; it wasn't that Lin Ke and his group were being extravagant. To ensure food safety and nutrition, they had to bring a [Chef] from Great Wilderness City, who could cook a lot quickly to satisfy the Knight Order.

"All set?" Ove looked at Lin Ke as he opened his eyes and watched him expectantly.

"Yes." Lin Ke felt around a bit, ran it casually, then looked at the campfire before him, reached out his right hand toward the flames.

Skill—Zero Degree!

No one knew what was happening, they only understood Lin Ke was using a skill, so they watched quietly.

The flames on the campfire flickered, then reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye, going from strong fire to weak fire, then to flame, before finally extinguishing.

And not just that!

Everyone even felt the heat in the air dissipating, with a thin chill approaching.

Even the moisture in the air was turning into ice chips, and the ground beneath gradually began forming some ice granules.

"What is this…" Ove was a bit curious, there was electromagnetic force swirling around him, and Lin Ke's power couldn't affect the area around Ove, same with Garoce.

However, Ove was still curious.

Other people's ice spells would usually blow cold air or emit freezing beams or something.

But this from Lin Ke…

It seemed different?

"Hold on." At this moment, Lin Ke felt the absorbed heat gathering in his right hand, able to circulate through his whole body and even used as energy supply.

Which means, as long as there is enough heat around to absorb, he would never starve!

He could even feel his cells devouring and benefiting from this energy!

However, the energy he could absorb now wasn't too much, the "container" of his body probably could only absorb the energy equivalent to his level.

But, his third skill could be released.

Skill—Overheat!

Lin Ke extended his hand toward the campfire again, and the heat he had just absorbed burst forth instantly.

The wood that was frozen hard earlier quickly began to carbonize, turning into a pile of charcoal.

However, even after Lin Ke dispelled the heat, the fire did not reignite.

The surroundings became slightly warmer again.

"That's it?" Garoce, being quick-mouthed, couldn't help but speak out.

From his perspective, this temperature change was not as satisfying as a poke with his knight's spear.

Lin Ke glanced at him.

Skill—Zero Degree!

For his Zero Degree, he didn't need his hand to absorb heat; his entire body could do it just by moving his gaze.

Garoce felt his son using the skill on him, smirked indifferently, "Bring it on."

Lin Ke's body remained still as he accelerated the circulation of [Scholar]'s power.

The temperature around Garoce suddenly dropped, small ice crystals formed on his eyebrows and upper lip, and his clothing turned cold and stiff.

"That's it?" Garoce chuckled again, quietly channeling [Knight] power, causing his vitality to surge, dispelling all anomalies on his body.

Level fifteen [Knight], Garoce!

"You can affect my mobility, well, that's good, quite impressive." Garoce deliberately teased his son, as previously Lin Ke's body couldn't use skills, he dared not provoke Lin Ke.

Now, he could tease a bit.

"Oh?"

Lin Ke had a spark of inspiration, rapidly alternating between Zero Degree and Overheat in an instant.

The temperature around Garoce fluctuated between hot and cold, directly transitioning from low to high, and then back.

After a few seconds, Garoce couldn't help but sniff, "Interesting."

Lin Ke also stopped, helplessly saying, "Father, you're too strong, I can't affect you."

The [Knight] is indeed bothersome, like a furnace, with strong control over vitality.

Lin Ke alternating his two skills back and forth could only give Garoce a runny nose.

But considering that as a level ten professional he could affect a level fifteen Garoce, it was quite commendable.

If it were against a professional of the same or lower level, Lin Ke could do much better.

As they chatted and jested, several [Knights] on the perimeter suddenly blew piercing whistles.

[Mission: Rampant Wild Boar-men]

[Every twenty years, the ceaseless and unending attacks of the Wild Boar-men on the Bloodied Road have greatly affected the minor nobles participating in the noble evaluation, you need to assist and save twenty valuable nobles]

[Reward: Second fragment of the Divine Artifact]

It appeared!

The second fragment of the Divine Artifact!

The first fragment was a rotten piece of wood, this fragment over the years had provided Lin Ke with tremendous convenience, significantly shortening his meditation time.

Now, twelve years later, the second fragment of the Divine Artifact appeared!

This gave Lin Ke a feeling akin to collecting Dragon Balls.

However…

Wild Boar-man tribes?

Lin Ke and the others stood up, looking around.

One by one the professionals burst forth their aura, all the [Knights] mounted their steeds.

Then it was Ove's turn.

He took out the Thunder Staff, tapped it lightly on the ground, and an unimaginable aura spread through the forest.

"With thunder, shatter the darkness!"

Ove's slightly agitated voice resonated like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.

As a result, the shadows approaching the campsite were frightened and fled in panic, only a few caught a glimpse of them.

"Wild Boar-men?" Garoce, who had just ascended to the sky and now descended, presumably saw the shadows: "I recall last time we had already slain all those Wild Boar-men."

"The reproductive ability of Wild Boar-men is indeed quite strong," Ove agreed at this moment: "However, it seems the Wild Boar-men here aren't the batch from the Holy Life Alliance."

"The targets of these Wild Boar-men are those barons, it's just unknown how many can survive." Garoce shook his head, once having been chased by Wild Boar-men, narrowly escaping to the Abyss.

"In that case, let's go wipe out these Wild Boar-men then!" Lin Ke stood up, making the decision: "For the Human Race, unity is most important, unity is strength."

"This strength is iron, this strength is steel."

"Harder than iron… stronger than steel!"
