Chapter 1718: Chapter 1325: Divine Skill Values Refinement Over Quantity! (Bonus Chapter, Monthly Ticket Request)
More than thirty million new players are about to enter the Mixed Martial Arts World. Even if only one-tenth of them frequently hang out and chat on the Jianghu Forum, the forum should be much more lively than usual.
Because normally the number of players online on the Jianghu Forum is only a tenth of all Mixed Martial Arts World players. Having a large influx of people naturally makes it one or two times more lively.
However, Jiang Dali now finds that the forum is not as active as before. Among them, a post jointly published by the Four Great Families is quite popular. It explains that the forum needs maintenance to handle billions of people online simultaneously in the future more smoothly.
Therefore, new players currently cannot post or leave messages on the Jianghu Forum. The relevant functions will be activated after they officially enter the Mixed Martial Arts World.
"Needs maintenance... This didn’t seem to happen in the previous life."
Jiang Dali rubbed his determined chin with one hand, his expression doubtful and pondering.
This post by the Four Great Families was released just one day ago. At that time, he had not yet arrived in Tang Country and was not continuously following the forum.
Unexpectedly, within just a day, the posts occupying half the Jianghu Forum concerning Black Wind Village had mostly sunk, replaced by posts about happenings in various sects.
This situation doesn’t look particularly strange.
After all, although Jiang Dali wants to develop the village and absorb more participants, he is also happy to see the Mixed Martial Arts World sects flourishing and presenting a vibrant spectacle.
But now, during the period when the World’s No.1 Martial Arts Tournament is actively welcoming sign-ups and a large number of new players are entering, the deliberately created top-tier situation is ’coincidentally’ disrupted by some maintenance. It’s hard not to think that the families might be obstructing this on purpose, deliberately limiting ’Black Wind Village’.
However, such suspicions lack substantial evidence, so Jiang Dali speculated for a while and then gave up.
He had already envisioned similar situations before and was mentally prepared.
Even though he and the Four Great Families have reached a consensus, this was achieved through intimidation and coercion with the Hell Soul Swapping Scripture. They are not truly of one heart. If the other side uses secret means of restraint, it is somewhat normal.
As for these restraint situations, due to his prior expectations and preparations, even though they occur now, the results are not unacceptable.
"With over thirty million new entrants, I didn’t really hope to absorb three to five parts in one breath. Players are active and independent thinkers, independent enough to take unconventional paths. Although Black Wind Village is a good option before everyone, there are quite a few players who choose to forge their own path instead of following the crowd...
After all, many say good things with their mouths, but there are even more who are honest with their actions."
Jiang Dali recalled that in the past, he too wanted to take the road less traveled, not choosing Hua Mountain like famous sects, but instead aiming to find some hidden sects in the Mixed Martial Arts World, mastering what seems ordinary but is actually very formidable unconventional secret techniques, to become famous in the martial world.
In the end, however, he failed because he truly didn’t have the travel expenses or energy to search for hidden sects.
In fact, before its development, Black Wind Village is another cold-choice force, but its initial image was indeed shabby. Now it has become the largest power in the vassal states, and even without any action, it will attract many players to join.
Calming his thoughts, Jiang Dali exited the Jianghu Forum no longer paying attention.
He had already done all the necessary actions.
Even with some guesses, the families’ small actions cannot be completely prevented.
Just as families cannot prevent new players from joining Black Wind Village.
While unable to communicate on the forum, offline players can communicate through other channels, although lacking the corresponding reference materials comparison, causing some influence.
He then shifted his attention to the various martial arts he has learned.
He took out several Martial Arts Secret Manuals from his travel bundle and placed them on the table.
"Three Points Return to Essence Energy," "All Swords Return to the Sect," "Ten Thousand Blades Piercing Cloud," "Snow Blood Claw," "Return to God," "Blood Transformation Divine Skill," "Five Thunders Transformation Hand"...
These seven ultimate skills excavated from the treasures left by Shakyamuni, only "All Swords Return to the Sect" and "Blood Transformation Divine Skill" are ultimate skills at the Returning to Truth Realm, while the others are all Heavenly Person Realm ultimate skills.
Among the seven ultimate skills, "All Swords Return to the Sect," "Ten Thousand Ridges Piercing Cloud," "Snow Blood Claw," and "Five Thunders Transformation Hand" are swordsmanship and claw skill ultimate skills that not only contain techniques but also include matched martial arts mental methods.
"Return to God" and "Blood Transformation Divine Skill" are special ultimate skills only cultivable by certain special physiques. The former requires a special Phoenix Bloodline to cultivate into the Returning God Physique, enabling rapid recovery from any injury in a short time. The latter requires the Phoenix Bloodline’s evil-energy-filled Demon Blood for cultivation.
"Only Three Points Return to Essence Energy is what I am more interested in... A legitimate ultimate skill containing techniques and mental methods, but unexpectedly, Three Points Return to Essence Energy can only be considered a Heavenly Person’s ultimate skill; I thought it was a Returning to Truth ultimate skill...
It seems to depend on the individual, Xiong Ba can unleash this ultimate skill’s power to the Returning to Truth level and furthermore developed Three Points Divine Finger beyond the Three Ultimate Skills..."
Jiang Dali’s palm brushed over the seven ultimate skills on the table, then accessed the panel to check the instructions for the only chance to enhance the martial arts tier.
"Designated Martial Arts Tier Advancement Chance *1
Description: Reward for completing mainline task ’Green Forest Underground Emperor I’, allowing the use of this chance to assist the advancement and fusion of one’s martial arts, either increasing the tier level or enhancing tier level increments contingent on one’s accumulated martial arts foundation. Please choose wisely before usage."
Seeing the description, it is known that although this designated martial arts tier advancement chance is precious, it is not entirely guaranteed successful, mainly depending on one’s accumulated martial arts foundation.
Without this chance, quickly integrating the rich martial arts theories in one’s mind and sparking inspiration to push the martial arts tier’s qualitative leap indeed is difficult, requiring appropriate opportunities for Sudden Enlightenment.
In theory, with such an opportunity, as long as one’s martial arts foundation is sufficient, it is not impossible to directly deduce and elevate a Mortal Rank martial art to a Heavenly Person’s Ultimate Skill.
Understanding the specifics of this, Jiang Dali had a clear mind, closed his eyes, immersed his spirit, maintaining his Spirit Platform, as flashes of various martial arts he created passed through his mind.
Currently, all his divine skills are nearly at Great Success; only the "War God Chronicles" and "Divine Demon Golden Body" have not yet reached the highest realm.
These two martial arts of the Returning to Truth Realm have a low probability of deducing and elevating directly to Breakthrough Realm martial arts through this rare opportunity for grade elevation.
This is mainly because he himself has not reached the Breakthrough Realm, nor has he fought against experts of this realm, so he doesn’t fully understand the power that should be mastered at this realm.
Secondly, both Returning to Truth Ultimate Skills have not been cultivated to the 9th stage, talking about accumulating sufficient Martial Arts foundation for the Breakthrough Realm.
Thus, even with such an opportunity, it’s difficult to deduce martial arts of the Breakthrough Realm due to the lack of resources.
Besides this, the best attempt would be to deduce the Heavenly Person’s Ultimate Skills "Great Strength Divine Skill" and "Heavenly Reversing Divine Intent Saber", which had reached the shocking stage of "Shocking the Ancient and Modern". Deducing them is most confident and greatly enhances his strength.
"Great Strength Divine Skill" is the foundation of his self-created mental method, the entire mental method revolves around the principle of "great strength creates miracles", integrating various special effects like regaining energy, healing, strengthening the body, spirit, power, qi, immune to poison, etc.
Compared to his current power at the Returning to Truth Realm, this mental method’s power is not bad due to its high realm; the speed of regaining energy and healing is extremely strong, allowing him to maintain long-term combat in the normal Destruction State. However, in the Life and Death State, the consumption rate exceeds its pace, and it cannot match the 12-fold power state.
If the grade of this mental method is deduced and elevated to the Returning to Truth level, all aspects of its special effects would be lifted to a higher stage, and its potential will be greatly enhanced.
Currently, "Great Strength Divine Skill" has been cultivated to its peak. Unless the grade is elevated, there is no further potential. After elevating the grade, it can be further enhanced, each elevation of 1 stage will significantly increase his Inner Strength and Qi-Blood.
"Heavenly Reversing Divine Intent Saber" is his self-created saber art, the entire saber art is guided by "defying fate and breaking the game", integrating effects like Breaking Gang, Breaking Qi, Armor-breaking, Great Strength, Devour, Rebound, Saber Qi, etc.
Should this saber art’s grade continue to elevate, his Silver Blue Blade Qi will surely advance to the Golden Blade Qi stage, increasing the destructive power several folds.
After long consideration, Jiang Dali eventually decided to use this rare deduction opportunity to first elevate the "Great Strength Divine Skill" to the Returning to Truth level.
Whether from the perspective of potential or stability, "Great Strength Divine Skill" precedes "Heavenly Reversing Divine Intent Saber".
After all, compared to his accumulation in saber skills, the foundation he built in Internal Cultivation Methods is much stronger, thus deducing "Great Strength Divine Skill" to the Returning to Truth Realm has a greater success rate.
At the moment of decision in his heart, the deduction begins.
Instantly, Jiang Dali felt as though every pore in his body was cheering, his brain became nimble, senses swiftly activated, and vast martial arts theories flooded into his mind as though they were floating up from an infinite depth of the ocean of knowledge, sparking various inspirations.
In an instant, "Great Strength Divine Skill" began to operate by itself, his Spirit Platform became clear, and his mind and body were comfortable, thoughts quickly delving into deep martial arts insights.
"Swish, swish, swish—"
On the table, the covers of seven martial arts books flipped rapidly as if driven by unseen wings, their pages fluttering automatically, while the human-shaped illustrations within seemingly came alive, and the recorded characters turned into language quickly browsed and read by Jiang Dali’s Primordial Spirit.
Seizing this opportunity for deduction elevation, he browsed these seven martial arts simultaneously, rapidly integrating beneficial information into his martial arts system.
However, if he were to split his focus to cultivate these seven martial arts which do not suit him, it would be unnecessarily troublesome.
Only borrowing their essence to enrich his martial arts system seems a promising choice.
One thought arises, heart is clear. Neither going nor coming, neither growth nor decay.
...
The next morning.
Inside Tang Country’s Imperial Palace, Shuanglong attended the assembly, ready to face a glorious death witnessed by the civil and military officials and Li Shimin.
A gripping drama of loyalty and treachery unfolds as Li Yuan desires, played out in the Imperial Palace.
Those who personally escorted Shuanglong were none other than Queen Yin Wanwan and player Xue Qing; the former personally ended Xu Ziling’s life, while the latter sent Kou Zhong on his final journey. This scene falls under the witness of some Tang Country inner players, causing a sensation in the player community.
The development of the Mixed Martial Arts World till now marks the first time an NPC with fame like Kou Zhong willingly died at the hands of a player.
Yet in the end, even with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling both reduced to zero blood, breath completely gone, and their bodies being escorted out of the palace, player Xue Qing never received a prompt of reward for a successful kill, and in doubt, couldn’t help but muster the courage to inquire her seemingly upset master Wanwan...
