Chapter 262: Chapter 261 Comprehending Sword Intent (Please Subscribe)

Thinking this way, Chen Fan added another 360 experience points.

Except for a warm current flowing through his body, there were no other changes.

Chen Fan was not surprised either. If he guessed correctly, that trait could only be unlocked at the Perfection Realm.

He spent another 720 experience points, and the skill level of [Ten Thousand Palm Divine Skill] reached the Great Success Realm.

It was still the same three traits as before.

Chen Fan couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Let’s see this time.

He consumed nearly 1,500 experience points.

In an instant, a white light flashed through his mind.

He quickly looked at the skill bar,

[Ten Thousand Palm Divine Skill: Perfection (cannot be improved), Traits: Steel Bones Level 5, Strength of One Ox Level 5, Mountain-Pressing Palm Level 3, Ten Thousand Paths Divine Palm Level 1]

[Ten Thousand Paths Divine Palm: Active skill, consumes 10,000 True Qi, condenses into a three-meter-high palm seal, inflicting damage up to twenty times the practitioner’s strength value, the farther the distance, the lower the damage, for each level increased, True Qi consumption doubles, and damage increases by an additional ten times]

"Twenty times the strength value."

Chen Fan glanced at his own strength attribute.

That means, if he unleashes this palm at his peak state, the palm force can reach 30,000 tons!

Previously, the 10,000-ton Mountain-Pressing Palm could only create a large hole, severely injure, and knock back a top elite fierce beast unless it hit the vital point.

Ten Thousand Paths Divine Palm, even if it doesn’t hit the vital point, can kill with one slap as long as it hits!

Because Ten Thousand Paths Divine Palm not only surpasses Mountain-Pressing Palm’s eightfold base strength increase,

but also has a significant change in the palm seal.

Just like his current strength, comparable to an elite-level fierce beast,

an elite-level fierce beast’s punch can penetrate an entire wall,

a slap can lift a two to three-story building,

his punch can only break through one wall,

the difference in traits is evident.

Mountain-Pressing Palm can condense True Qi into a more than one-meter-high palm seal, with stronger destructive power.

Ten Thousand Paths Divine Palm can condense into a three-meter palm seal, a palm seal as high as one floor, pushing it forward, easily destroying a two to three-story building.

Chen Fan showed a smile on his face, he just knew this palm technique wasn’t that simple.

This trait is the essence of this martial art, which can be seen from its name.

Moreover, from the perspective of True Qi consumption, Ten Thousand Paths Divine Palm is also more cost-effective.

It only requires 10,000 True Qi to exert twenty times the strength of the palm force.

A Level 4 Mountain-Pressing Palm can exert twelve times the power of the palm force, consuming 8,000 True Qi already.

"However, with my current True Qi, it seems I can’t use it?"

Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

After all, his current True Qi value is just over 9,000, still a bit short of 10,000 points.

"Anyway, these two prerequisite martial arts for Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill are finally mastered, and the effect is unexpectedly quite good."

Chen Fan thought to himself.

Thousand Forms Divine Skill enhances the strength attribute.

Ten Thousand Palm Divine Skill uses the martial artist’s strength as a base, increasing the palm technique’s power tenfold or twentyfold.

Therefore, the resulting Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill might not only raise the strength to the power of ten dragons and ten elephants,

but also include extremely dominant palm technique secret skills!

He took a deep breath and clicked on complete martial arts.

Because both martial arts were at the Perfection state, it only took less than three days to complete, twice as fast as the previous [Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill].

"As for fist and kick martial arts, Ten Thousand Palm Divine Skill is sufficient for now. Next, I need to learn a saber martial art. The remaining time should be used for learning heart methods, otherwise, with insufficient True Qi, I can’t even use Ten Thousand Paths Divine Palm once."

Chen Fan felt a bit helpless.

True Qi is to a martial artist what money is to a man, without money, one can’t move an inch.

His gaze fell on [Windward Slash].

This was previously purchased for 3,000 points from the Awakened Association.

It is undoubtedly a top-level martial art.

He decided to consume one experience point to level up.

The skill level increased by one forty-thousandth.

"???"

Chen Fan was stunned.

No way?

One forty-thousandth?

So, just to reach entry level, it requires 40,000 experience points?

And that’s with a 20% discount, plus the reduction from Basic Saber Technique.

After hesitating for a while, he still decided to learn it.

So what if it’s 40,000 points? Even after learning it, there are still fifty to sixty thousand experience points left.

He ruthlessly added the remaining more than 30,000 experience points,

A feeling he had never had before surged up.

In his eyes, the alloy war saber on the desk seemed no longer an inanimate object,

but a living thing that breathes and speaks.

"Could this be Saber Intent?"

This thought jumped into Chen Fan’s mind,

Then, with a jolt, he looked at the skill panel,

[Windward Slash: Perfection (cannot be improved), Traits: Bone-Piercing Blade Intent Level 1, Windward Slash Level 1]

"It reached Perfection directly?"

Chen Fan was shocked to see the realm behind it.

So, this martial art has no entry level?

It’s either Completely Ignorant or Perfection?

This is too extreme.

He chuckled helplessly and continued to look down.

Two traits, and the first one is Blade Intent!

He quickly clicked it open.

[Bone-Piercing Blade Intent: When wielding blade weapons, each slash carries bone-piercing coldness, the larger the difference in Spiritual Value between both parties, the higher the effect, up to a maximum of halving the opponent’s reaction speed, for each level increased, the effectiveness doubles]

[Windward Slash: Consumes 10,000 True Qi and 1,000 Spiritual Power, unleashes a five-meter-high sharp Sword Qi, the power of the saber technique increases tenfold, Sword Qi contains Blade Intent, locking onto the opponent, making it impossible to dodge, for each doubling of True Qi and Spiritual Power consumption, the power of the saber technique increases by an additional tenfold, up to fifty times, for each level increased, the size of the Sword Qi increases by one meter]

"So this is Blade Intent."

Chen Fan realized and subsequently felt ecstatic.

This Blade Intent adds no bonus to himself but is extremely deadly to the opponent.

After all, in a contest between masters, a 10% speed impact can determine the victor.

Not to mention halving the speed, how could one fight like this?

What’s most heaven-defying is that this is passive.

It activates just by using a saber.

"Perhaps it’s because of this Bone-Piercing Blade Intent that this martial art’s entry threshold is so high?"

Chen Fan figured out the details from before.

For practitioners, without comprehending Bone-Piercing Blade Intent, they can’t learn [Windward Slash].

If they suddenly comprehend Bone-Piercing Blade Intent, they can instantly learn this saber technique.

It can be said to be a nightmare for those with mediocre qualifications, and most suitable for geniuses.

"I suppose this Bone-Piercing Blade Intent is just one kind among various Blade Intents, but, though Blade Intent is good, mastering one is enough for me."

Chen Fan smiled bitterly.

Because he doesn’t have that much experience points to use on weapon martial arts.

Besides, if the saber has Blade Intent, then fist and kick martial arts may have similar True Meaning of Fist.

As long as enough fist techniques are learned, a seemingly ordinary punch might contain five, six, seven, eight, or nine kinds of fist intent.

His gaze fell on the next trait.

Windward Slash.

Tenfold saber power.

At first glance, it seems similar to the tenfold strength palm technique, but in fact, it’s far different.

Because, in most cases, the power of weapons far exceeds the power of fists and kicks.

The most crucial point,

is that, unlike fist and kick martial arts, where the influencing factors are limited and mainly affected by the martial artist’s strength, it’s extremely difficult to further enhance the existing base,

the power of weapons has many influencing factors, the martial artist’s strength is just one of them,

to enhance the saber technique’s power, the simplest way is just to get a more powerful weapon.

Take Ten Thousand Palm Divine Skill as a comparison,

A tenfold Mountain-Pressing Palm with a palm seal over a meter high may not necessarily kill a top elite fierce beast instantly.

But a five-meter-high Sword Qi will definitely do so.

This is just in the initial form.

In the highest form,

a slash with fifty times the power, although it’s still a five-meter high Sword Qi, could likely kill a commander-level fierce beast in one hit.

Of course, such a powerful Sword Qi comes with terrifying consumption.

Consuming 10,000 True Qi, quadrupling it continuously, 160,000 True Qi is needed to unleash this slash.

"No wonder it’s a top-level martial art."

Chen Fan sighed, his anticipation for those two martial arts currently in the completion state increased even more.

As for now, his gaze fell on the stack of heart methods.

Among them, some are worth one to two hundred points, and some are worth three to four hundred points, seven to eight hundred points.

There are also several worth over a thousand points.

For example, [Bone Changing], [Bright Jade Skill], [Marriage Robe Divine Skill],

Unfortunately, most of them are incomplete.

But the seven to eight hundred points inner power heart methods are mostly complete.

"Heart methods worth one to two hundred points should be basic heart methods, three to four hundred points might be relatively advanced, and seven to eight hundred should be first-class inner power heart methods."

Chen Fan thought to himself.

Based on the previous Golden Bell Shield, its True Qi increase should be roughly at the advanced heart method level.

Seven to eight hundred points first-class heart methods might provide an additional 30% increase in True Qi,

But there’s a problem, and that is difficulty.

The more powerful the heart method, the greater the increase, and the harder it is to learn.

The previously learned Qianyuan Skill, One Breathing Technique, are basic heart methods. Getting one to the Perfection Realm would consume at least 5,000 experience points.

If advanced heart methods consume double the experience points, that’s manageable.

If not, purely from the perspective of True Qi increase, it’s not worth it.

To verify, Chen Fan found an advanced martial art to test.

[Frost Technique], costing 400 points.

This is an inner power heart method that converts True Qi into extreme cold energy.

In battle, Frost True Qi can hinder the opponent’s True Qi flow, and even turn the opponent into an ice sculpture, but it’s very difficult to practice, a slight mistake can lead to becoming an ice sculpture oneself.
