The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins
Chapter 80 - 80: Hexagonal Warrior

Gulu~~ Gulu~~~

Inner Qi circulated within the body, producing a loud noise, as if a giant toad was croaking in the room.

It took a full five or six minutes before Zhu Haomiao exhaled a long breath.

Hu~~

In an instant, a faintly gray, turbid pillar of Qi was ejected from the youth's mouth, extending several meters before slowly dissipating.

After completing a cycle of Circulation Transport, he felt refreshed and clear-headed. Zhu Haomiao nodded in satisfaction, then turned his attention to the next cultivation technique.

As his realm deepened, the virtual memories of "Enlightenment" also grew increasingly vast, so it was better to stagger them one by one...

Feeling a sense, Zhu Haomiao did not rush to "Krypton Gold," but patiently comprehended the profound power of [Big Toad Qi], waiting until his Spirit Platform was completely lucid, then turned the page of the [Book of Black] once more.

Three [greed coins] fell into the page, and another cultivation technique blossomed with radiance.

[Hard Qi Skill]: LV.2→LV.3 (Mastery)

[Body] +1

[Qi] +1

[Strength] +1

In an instant, memories spanning nearly two years engulfed him in Enlightenment. Zhu Haomiao closed his eyes, carefully savoring that wondrous process that seemed both fleeting and eternal.

It took the youth several minutes before he opened his eyes, fully assimilating the spontaneously acquired memories.

As he circulated Qi Fortune, his muscles swelled dramatically, as if he was wearing an invisible armor, and Zhu Haomiao felt invincible.

Of course, he understood this was merely a common illusion.

Many people, upon suddenly acquiring some knowledge or power, felt terrifyingly strong, but once in actual combat, their true colors were quickly revealed.

The third layer of [Hard Qi Skill] at most equates to adding a layer of leather armor, adequate against normal slashes, but encountering a divine weapon that cuts like mud, or Qi Force with piercing effects, it only provides slight weakening.

Pounding his chest, the rebound from his fist felt like striking solid rubber, scattering immense force and feeling almost no pain.

Observing his exceptional resistance capabilities, Zhu Haomiao nodded with understanding.

The right way to utilize [Hard Qi Skill] should be in combination with heavy armor, using the strong defense of heavy armor to mute all damage into blunt force, and then withstand and absorb these damages with his formidable physique!

If cultivated to a high realm, donned with two or three layers of armor, one could become a humanoid tank, bulling through gunfire unharmed.

Even single-soldier thermal weapons would likely struggle to penetrate this defense; only artillery would be a concern...

Rubbing his chin thoughtfully, Zhu Haomiao pondered for a long time before directing his sight to the next cultivation technique.

Buzz~

Another [greed coin] spun into the [Book of Black], and the calm words suddenly bloomed with brilliant light.

[Stacked Waves Strength]: LV.2→LV.3 (Mastery)

[Strength] +2

[Body] +1

Crack-crack~

Instinctively moving his body, the joints all over made a series of continuous popping sounds. Zhu Haomiao, with eyes unfocused, digested the information in the torrent of memories, and after a long while, came back to his senses.

The third layer of [Stacked Waves Strength]...

Clenching his fist, Zhu Haomiao swung out hard, the punch making a subtle whistle as it sliced through the air.

Hu~

Hu~

Hu~

As he urged the Inner Qi, the breaking wind sound of each punch became increasingly obvious. Even bystanders could clearly see the rapidly increasing power of his heavy fists.

Pushed to the limit, Zhu Haomiao estimated his maximum strength had increased by about 40%, though if he ignored his body's endurance capability, and faced exponentially increased Inner Qi consumption, he could likely enhance it further...

Retracting his fist and dispersing his strength, Zhu Haomiao scrutinized every slight change in his body, looking towards the new cultivation technique in the [Book of Black].

Likewise, three gold coins were invested, and the technique instantly jumped two levels, injecting a sensation of light, agile silkiness into the youth's soul.

[Gale Force]: LV.0→LV.2 (Skilled)

[Dexterity] +2

[God] +1

Tipping on his toes, he lightly jumped in place twice, the seemingly casual movements carrying an indescribable ease and pleasure, as if shedding a heavy mountain from his shoulders, with a slightly added force, he could soar!

Smiling, Zhu Haomiao trod [Plum Blossom Step], darting around the room like an apparition. With the ongoing urging of [Gale Force], his figure sped up increasingly, eventually leaving afterimages.

After a few laps, Zhu Haomiao still felt it's not enough, decisively upgrading [Plum Blossom Step] as well.

[Plum Blossom Step]: LV.2→LV.3 (Mastery)

[Dexterity] +2

[God] +1

The third layer of [Plum Blossom Step] became even more nimble and versatile. Together with the speed enhancement from [Gale Force], Zhu Haomiao excitedly dashed about the room, like a fish darting through a stream.

However, as his speed reached its peak, Zhu Haomiao found it increasingly difficult to maintain control in a room filled with furniture and clutter.

Bam!

Finally, after crashing into the sofa, the panting youth stopped, lightly biting his lip with a frown.

The combination of three layers of [Plum Blossom Step] and two layers of [Gale Force] had exceeded his reaction speed.

In open terrain it's fine, but in a complex and confined environment, maneuvering at full speed was very challenging.

With this thought, Zhu Haomiao couldn't help but look at the attributes enhanced by the two cultivation techniques.

[Dexterity]...[God]...

It seems the [God] attribute limits the upper limit of [Dexterity] attribute performance...

No matter how fast you are, if your reactions are delayed, it's like an ordinary person driving an F1 car; one step on the gas and you slam into the wall!

In the same way, the [Body] attribute also restrains the upper limit of [Strength] output!

In using the Extraordinary Power of [anger], Zhu Haomiao has profound lessons on this point.

So... to become a hexagonal warrior without weaknesses, one's Six-dimensional Attributes must not have obvious flaws.

With newfound understanding, Zhu Haomiao pondered for a moment, looking at the attribute information in the [Book of Black].

[God]: 3.7↑(3)

[Dexterity]: 3.6↑(5)

[Strength]: 3.5↑(7)

[Essence]: 3.4↑(7)

[Qi]: 3.4↑(6)

[Body]: 3.5↑(7)

The accumulated attributes within him had become quite substantial, but it was evident that the [Martial Arts] system did not particularly enhance [God], with currently only [Big Toad Qi], [Plum Blossom Step], and [Gale Force] providing some sporadic cultivation.

On second thought, though, [Martial Arts] focuses heavily on Physique, lightly on Spirit.

If a warrior were stronger in [God] than a mage, that would be somewhat off the main track...

At this thought, Zhu Haomiao quirked his lips with a strange expression.

Under normal circumstances, the [War] and [Mage] two major systems have their own strengths, but with the addition of the seven paths of Original Sin, along with Krypton Gold Skill, there won't be any significant weaknesses.

Resilient as a horse while dishing out high damage...

Vaguely, Zhu Haomiao seemed to glimpse an invincible hexagonal template.
