BXBX NOVEL Chapter 170 - 170: Rapid Progress In Strength!
Unfortunately, the Source Power Armor did not create synergy with other basic skills.
This meant that Lu Ming’s gains from cultivating Source Power Armor were limited to the attribute enhancements brought about by this skill.
Lu Ming actually did not value this slight increase very much, but the memory of the pain of his severed arm caused by Yamamoto Yuichiro, made him think twice…
With that, Lu Ming made the decision that he would focus on cultivating this skill.
After all, it was a life-saving skill…
He also took out the Source Power Skill of the Soldier Transformation
Technique and began cultivating it.
Soldier Transformation Technique (Beginner) (1/100): Use source power to transform into a myriad of weapons! You have preliminary mastered the use of the Soldier Transformation Technique. All your attributes+30, free attribute points+30!
Similar to the Source Power Armor, the Soldier Transformation Technique could not create synergy with other basic skills.
Feather Space Technique (Beginner) (1/100): Use Source Power to fly through the air! You have preliminary mastered the use of the Feather Space Technique. All your attributes+30, and free attribute points+30!
It did not create synergy with other basic skills either.
But this was within Lu Ming’s expectations.
He picked up the Gale Saber and began practicing it.
Soon, a new skill appeared on the attribute panel.
Gale Saber (Beginner) (1/100): Mortal Realm Source Power Skill, After learning it, one could unleash a devastating blade technique akin to thunder and fire, to kill the enemy! You have preliminary mastered the use of the Gale Saber. All your attributes+30, and free attribute points+30!
And this time, the skill synergy that Lu Ming wanted finally appeared.
Note: Detected that your cold weapon combat level is LV32 and your basic saber technique is Lv26. When you cultivate the Gale Saber, you will obtain an additional proficiency increase.
The increase value was: 2.9 times (average of cold weapon combat level and basic saber skill level)!
Note: A friendly reminder that practicing Source Power skills will significantly accelerate the proficiency gains of related basic skills.
It was the same as the Explosive Fist.
Cultivating the Gale Saber would also swiftly level up the related basic skills. Similarly, the proficiency level of the related basic skills would rapidly increase the proficiency of the Gale Saber.
And this was what Lu Ming wanted!
Great Dragon Spear (Beginner) (1/100): Mortal Realm Source Power Skill, powerful and overwhelming! You have preliminary mastered the use of the Great Dragon Spear. All your attributes+30, free attribute points+30.
Note: Omitted…
Apocalypse (Beginner) (1/100): A Physique Realm Source Power Skill, a powerful staff technique created by a member of the Spirit Clan! When used, it was like a divine thunder strike that annihilated all things—hence its name!
“You have preliminary mastered the use of Apocalypse. All your attributes+300, free attribute points+300!”
Physique Realm Source Power Skill!
The attributes obtained were ten times more than Mortal Realm Source Power Skills!
However, Lu Ming had a feeling that the difficulty of cultivating Apocalypse might be ten times that of a Mortal Realm Source Power Skills.
Fortunately, the skills were synergistic.
Note: Detected that your cold weapon combat level is LV32 and your basic saber technique is Lv20. When you cultivate the Apocalypse, you would obtain an additional proficiency increase.
The increase value was: 2.6 times (average of cold weapon combat level and basic staff skill level)!
Note: A friendly reminder that practicing Source Power skills will significantly accelerate the proficiency gains of related basic skills.
Atomic Sword Technique (Beginner) (1/100): A Physique Realm Source Power Skill, an ingenious sword technique as delicate as atomic cutting! Extremely powerful but difficult to cultivate.
“You have preliminary mastered the use of Atomic Sword Technique. All your attributes+300, free attribute points+300!”
Note: Omitted…
Another Physique Realm Source Power Skill!
Spiritual Energy Bullet Rain (Beginner) (1/100): Mortal Realm Source Power Skill. A basic long-range attack Source Power Skill! Condenses the Source Power within the body and constructs an energy bullet to attack the enemy.
“You have preliminary mastered the use of the Spiritual Energy Bullet Rain. All your attributes+30, free attribute points+30!
Note: You can fire spiritual energy bullets using any method and any weapon!
Note: Detected that your slingshot shooting level is Lv31, your crossbow shooting level is LV30, your archery level is LV30, your firearms shooting level is LV30, and your throwing level is Lv20. When you cultivate the Spiritual Energy Bullet Rain, you will obtain an additional proficiency increase!
The enhancement multiplier was: 2.8 times (the average of the relevant basic skill levels).
Note: A friendly reminder that practicing Source Power skills will significantly accelerate the proficiency gains of related basic skills.
Although the Spiritual Energy Bullet Rain was only a Mortal Realm Source Power Skill, it integrated the five basic skills on Lu Ming’s body.
This made the value of this Source Power Skill much higher.
After doing all this, Lu Ming’s three-dimensional attributes had now reached:
Strength: 17288.2
Physique: 17288.1
Agility: 17297.2
Free Attribute Points: 6188
Moreover, these were only the attributes under the Self-Limitation State.
“But it’s still not enough.”
Initially, Lu Ming felt that he was still quite strong.
However, now, he realized that there was the Spirit Realm above the Physique Realm, the Source Realm above the Spirit Realm, and the Ancient Realm above the Source Realm!
And above the Ancient Realm were the Divine beings!
A frog at the bottom of a well?
The previous Lu Ming was indeed like a frog at the bottom of a well. He was naive and had not seen the world!
“Therefore, how can I resolve my worries? The only way is to cultivate! The only way is to become stronger!!”
The harsh external environment, the awkward situation of being a contemporary tribulation transcender, left Lu Ming no room to relax whatsoever!
At present, it was noon.
Without further ado, he began practicing!
The cultivation of Source Power Skills at the entry level was fast and efficient.
For Lu Ming, often after dozens of repetitions, the related Source Power Skills could be upgraded from entry level to proficiency level.
Of course, the difficulty of cultivating Mortal Realm and Physique Realm Source Power Skills was indeed different—the cultivation speed of Physique Realm Source Power Skills (Apocalypse and Atomic Sword Technique) was indeed very slow, but it could not stop Lu Ming from being persistent and determined.
There was also the system.
Moreover, Lu Ming also discovered something.
The Source Power Armor technique was easy to practice!
It was not about difficulty, but the Source Power Armor technique could slowly increase its proficiency as long as it was activated. During this process, Lu Ming could also practice other Source Power Skills—a bit like practicing two Source Power Skills within the same timeframe.
Double the progress was quite satisfying.
It was a pity that other Source Power skills did not have this characteristic, but Lu Ming was not disappointed.
Just before going to bed that night, all the newly learned Source Power techniques were brought to the proficient level by Lu Ming.
The price was that he had practiced the Knight Body Forging Technique ten times less today—he had no choice, there was just no time left.
However, overall, it was still worth it.
The upgrade of the six Mortal Realm Source Power Skills brought Lu Ming 70*6 = 420 points of total attributes and 420 points of free attribute points.
The upgrade of the two Physique Realm Source Power Skills brought Lu Ming 700*2 = 1400 points of total attributes and 1400 points of free attribute points.
And that’s not to mention the basic skills had crazily leveled up!
In just an afternoon, Lu Ming’s three-dimensional attributes became:
Strength: 19411.5
Physique: 19411.4
Agility: 19530.2
Free Attribute Points: 8008
A more ferocious power was brewing within his body.
But evidently, it still was not enough!
After outlining the practice plan for the next day, Lu Ming drifted into a deep sleep.
Day 96 of the Black Mist Calendar.
Lu Ming did his usual exercises in the morning and practiced the Knight Body Forging Technique 3 times.
In the evening, he practiced the Knight Body Forging Techniques 7 times in the afternoon and then practiced the Soldier Transformation Technique.
In the evening, he practiced the Feather Space Technique.
At the same time, he kept the Source Power Armor active throughout the entire day.
Compared to before, the current Lu Ming decided to sacrifice some time from his Knight Body Forging Technique to increase the level of his other Source Power skills.
He persisted until he raised all the Source Power Skills, other than the Source Power Armor, to the proficient level and maxed out all his basic skills!
That night, the Source Power Armor leveled up.
Proficiency stage: Proficient.
His three-dimensional attributes increased by 200, and his free attribute points increased by 200!
