Chapter 198: Instructor: Heavenly King Shenwei

【S-level training room: Summoning Studies Mastery LV. 1, Summoning Art Mastery LV. 1, Command Mastery LV. 1, Cultivation Mastery LV. 1, Harmonization Mastery LV. 1, Spirit Control Mastery LV. 1】

【Permanent summoned objects: Brutal Beast · Son of the Cave (Wu Da Bao), Xiangliu White Snake · House-Protecting Spirit (Liu Changying)】

【Temporary personnel: Shanhe Alliance · No. 1, Shanhe Alliance · No. 2】

【Knowledge-type item: Maxims of Upright Training】

【This training time: 15 days, actual consumption: 1 day; Rank 1 Apostle remaining rest time not exceeded; generating S-level directional summoning-type instructor】

【Generation complete, S-level directional summoning-type instructor: Heavenly King Shenwei (Clone)】

Chu Danqing only chose mastery skills and did not select any other skills, mainly because the cost-performance ratio was the highest.

"Back to work again." A slightly lazy voice emerged, and a figure slowly walked out.

This time, it was actually a clone that came instead of a projection, and even the way of appearance had changed.

A projection condensed, while a clone walked into the training room.

"Ho~" As soon as Heavenly King Shenwei's clone met him, he couldn't help but say: "You are a Rank 1 Apostle; where did you find so many summoned objects and allies?"

"Forget it, who told me I have a life of toil." Heavenly King Shenwei didn't wait for Chu Danqing to explain and directly used a cloning technique.

Clone after clone, he instantly split into four more Heavenly King Shenweis.

Heavenly King Shenwei could tell that the Flying Bear Iron Cavalry was a professional derivative of Xiong Zhigang, so there was no need to pay attention to them.

The next things were simple; just learn.

Chu Danqing first told Heavenly King Shenwei about his demands, which was roughly to use the Fallen Flower Essence to activate Da Bao's bloodline.

The rest was to improve attributes and skills.

"Da Bao's origin is indeed unusual; he possesses the bloodline of a certain evil god."

"With this Fallen Flower Essence, activation is not difficult; the difficulty lies in how to control this bloodline."

"Exactly, this involves the learning of the mastery skills you possess." Heavenly King Shenwei couldn't help Chu Danqing do it himself; he would only teach Chu Danqing the corresponding knowledge.

At most, when Chu Danqing was acting, he would help guide him through the knowledge within his authority.

Whether he could succeed or not depended on Chu Danqing himself.

Heavenly King Shenwei began to explain and let Chu Danqing practice, helping Chu Danqing deeply understand the six mastery skills he possessed.

At this moment, Chu Danqing also understood one thing.

Mastery-tier skills were truly difficult.

Basics had no threshold; if the instructor was serious and you learned seriously, it was at most a matter of efficiency.

But mastery skills were different; they had already begun to screen.

Fortunately, Heavenly King Shenwei's teaching ability was unimaginably strong, and Chu Danqing had six mastery skills that could verify each other, allowing him to draw inferences about other cases.

Difficult as it was, Chu Danqing learned very smoothly and configured the Fallen Flower Essence into a potion, providing it to Da Bao to consume, allowing his strength to further improve.

Fifteen days passed in a flash, and Heavenly King Shenwei said with a smile: "Next time you have an S-level rating, remember to designate me."

"I am not a projection; I will remember you all. By then, we can continue to learn down the progress."

"If you change to someone else to teach you, you have to be assessed again, which is a waste of time."

After Heavenly King Shenwei finished speaking, he glanced at the time and turned to leave without waiting for Chu Danqing to answer.

As he walked, he said: "No time for idle chatter; I have to rush to the next session. See you later."

Seeing this, Chu Danqing felt that next time he could really consider turning this Heavenly King Shenwei into a fixed Rank 1 teaching staff.

As for Rank 2, with his snowballing speed, he would probably have to use SS-level teaching staff; Heavenly King Shenwei, being S-level, certainly wouldn't be able to do it.

This progress was quite good; all six mastery skills had been upgraded to LV. 3.

It could only be said that he was worthy of being an S-level instructor; if it had been an A-level one, Chu Danqing estimated that reaching LV. 2 would have been quite good.

As for upgrading three or four levels at once like the basic skills back then, that was a bit wishful thinking.

The second half of the six mastery skills hadn't changed, but the numbers in the first half had all changed from 2 to 6.

Compared to basic skills where each level could only increase by 1 point, mastery-tier ones doubled, with each level able to increase by 2 points.

However, for Chu Danqing, the real harvest wasn't just these numerical increases, but the growth in knowledge.

"The road is long and arduous." Chu Danqing couldn't help but sigh.

The LV. MAX of mastery skills wasn't 10, but 20.

He estimated that he certainly wouldn't be able to reach the maximum within Rank 1, and Rank 2 was a bit hanging.

The further back, the slower the efficiency of improvement would be.

It wasn't that there was no way to improve quickly; that was mastery-tier skill crystals.

This thing was also hard to get.

Mainly because Xiong Zhigang was a loyal minister, which was very troublesome.

Chu Danqing could only postpone it for now, then opened Da Bao's panel to check.

【Brutal Beast · Son of the Cave】

【Attributes】

【.】

【Bloodline】

【Ancient Afterglow (Bloodline Concentration: 1%)】

【Effect 1: Five-dimensional attributes +1】

【Effect 2: Immune to all mental, spiritual, and related negative states】

【Effect 3: Obtain Killing Form after possessing both Fearless and Berserk states】

【Talent】

【.】

【Deep Cave Blood Beast】

【Effect 1: Own sharp claws are regarded as Excellent-tier weapons】

【Effect 2: All Blood Rage-type skill effects increased by 10%】

【Effect 3: HP recovery efficiency +10% when seriously injured/dying】

【Effect 4: Berserk state and Fearless state effects increased by 10%】

【Effect 5: Perception efficiency increased by 10%】

【Skills】

【.】

After Da Bao's bloodline awakened, he also obtained a brand-new talent.

And this talent could improve along with the bloodline; the current amplification was low because Da Bao's bloodline concentration was only 1%.

Along with the increase in bloodline concentration, not only would the bloodline effects gradually increase and strengthen, but the Deep Cave Blood Beast talent effect would also improve accordingly.

It was a pity that Da Bao's skills were still at LV. 10; after all, this upgrade was mainly focused on the bloodline.

Even the bloodline couldn't save Da Bao's IQ; his mental attribute was still locked at 1 point, but his bare-handed attributes of strength, agility, constitution, and perception had all increased to 18 points.

Besides that, there was another disadvantage: after awakening his bloodline, Da Bao became increasingly ferocious and terrifying.

Previously, it could at least be explained as gigantism plus thick hair plus atavism; now, it was simply too beastly.

As for Da Bai's improvement, its progress was relatively slow; its spirit and perception increased to 14 points because it spent most of its time practicing the Nine-Headed Spirit Phase Scripture.

Under Heavenly King Shenwei's teaching and the gain of the spirit attribute, in just fifteen days, Da Bai's Nine-Headed Spirit Phase Scripture increased from LV. 10 to LV. 18.

The price was Chu Danqing's severe mana loss; fortunately, he had the mental attribute passive "Herd Mentality," which doubled Chu Danqing's mana recovery after stacking 10 layers, allowing him to hold on.

【Nine-Headed Spirit Phase Scripture (Inheritance) LV. 18】

【Spirit power +1000 per level, spirit power recovery +100】

【Inheritance Skills】

【Spirit Art · Spirit Healing (Active) LV. 18: Consumes 18 points of spirit power, instantly restores 180 HP to the target, and purifies 1 negative state】

【Spirit Art · Spirit Recovery (Active) LV. 18: Consumes 28 points of spirit power, continuously restores a total of 280 HP within the range within 30 seconds, and gains 80 points of shield value】

【Spirit Art · Evil Curse (Active) LV. 18: Consumes 18 points of spirit power, all attributes of targets within range -1.8 points, HP recovery effect -1.8%, lasts 28 seconds, can stack up to 2 layers】

【Spirit Art · Evil Words (Active) LV. 18: Consumes 28 points of spirit power, makes the target fall into a weak and poisoned state, lasts 28 seconds, can stack up to 2 layers】

Chu Danqing had also asked Heavenly King Shenwei how to activate Da Bai's bloodline.

Then Heavenly King Shenwei looked at Da Bai for a while and said to Chu Danqing: "How to activate something that doesn't exist?"

This also confirmed Chu Danqing's guess: Da Bai was a strange flower; the fusion of the Xiangliu bloodline and the House-Protecting Immortal caused it to become a new species.

Da Bao had a bloodline; that came from the Cave God.

If one really had to count, Da Bao was now barely half-human, half-god.

The Cave God's identity as a deity had been certified by Heavenly King Shenwei.

It was fortunate that Chu Danqing hadn't gone too deep into the Fallen Flower Cave back then, otherwise he would have died without a doubt.

From the name of Da Bao's bloodline, one could tell that the Cave God might be an old remnant or an ancient deity that had been sealed and suppressed.

That was why the tiger fell to the flat plains and was bullied by dogs; otherwise, one could see how terrifying it was from the bloodline name "Ancient Afterglow" and the bloodline effect.

Just 1% bloodline concentration allowed Da Bao to be immune to mental, spiritual, and related negative states.

It was equivalent to Da Bao being able to directly ignore control states from non-physical entities.

This alone was worth the price, not to mention that it could continue to improve later.

Heavenly King Shenwei also pointed out a path for Da Bai to obtain a bloodline.

If it didn't have one innately, then acquire one by recognizing a snake-type great supernatural being as a parent; in this way, it could obtain the corresponding bloodline inheritance.

However, there was a very severe problem here: such great supernatural beings might not necessarily look favorably upon Da Bai.

After all, parents weren't recognized casually, because what was inherited wasn't just the bloodline, but also the mantle and orthodoxy.

By the time Chu Danqing had enough strength, Da Bai might not necessarily look favorably upon this bloodline.

In Paradise, races could be changed, and bloodlines could be transplanted; it wasn't impossible for great supernatural beings to give bloodline inheritance.

By the time they cultivated to the end, great supernatural beings had basically detached from their original racial bloodlines and formed their own systems.

As for choosing to transplant a bloodline produced in Paradise for Da Bai, Chu Danqing had also thought about it, but it was ultimately rejected by him.

He couldn't get a suitable bloodline with a high ceiling now; after transplanting it to Da Bai, he would need to constantly transplant bloodlines to widen the ceiling.

Da Bai itself was a conflict product of the fierce god Xiangliu and the House-Protecting Immortal; the risk of transplanting multiple bloodlines was very high.

And the more combinations, the more the multiple bloodlines would bloat and pile up like shit-mountain code.

Not only would the final available path become narrower and narrower, but it would also destroy Da Bai's own potential.

Without a suitable bloodline, not transplanting was the optimal solution.
