Chapter 335: Thousand Elephant Divine Skill

It has a total of ten levels; if the Experience Value consumed for the first level is already this high, then the Experience Value consumed when raising the subsequent levels will likely be heart-wrenching.

The moment he added all his remaining Experience Value at once, a strong sense of power welled up. This feeling was much more pronounced than the improvement brought by practicing the Arrow Technique before.

【Thousand Elephant Divine Skill: Level 1, Trait: Power of One Elephant Level 1】

【Power of One Elephant: Each time the skill level increases, the Strength attribute permanently increases by 1250 points】

"It actually increased the Strength attribute by a full tenth," Lu Yu couldn't help but exclaim.

His Strength attribute, as a result, soared directly from 10,300 to 11,500.

The Thousand Elephant Divine Skill has ten levels in total, which means that when raised to the tenth level, the Strength attribute can increase by 12,500 points, effectively doubling the Strength attribute!

Lu Yu immediately invested another eighty points of Experience Value. In an instant, a warm current flowed through his body again; this feeling was very clear.

【Thousand Elephant Divine Skill: Level 2, Trait: Power of One Elephant Level 2】

Then came the third level, fourth level, fifth level...

As the levels increased, however, Lu Yu's brows gradually furrowed.

A guess faintly emerged in his heart: could it be that this martial art only has this one trait from beginning to end?

At this time, the consumed Experience Value had already climbed to 1280 points.

【Thousand Elephant Divine Skill: Level 6, Trait: Power of One Elephant Level 6】

"..." Lu Yu was speechless for a moment.

After consuming the Experience Value, the Thousand Elephant Divine Skill was finally raised to the tenth level.

【Thousand Elephant Divine Skill: Level 10, Trait: Power of One Elephant Level 10】

The facts were just as he had guessed; from beginning to end, only this one trait was unlocked.

Lu Yu glanced at his Strength attribute, which had now reached 22,800 points. He nodded in satisfaction.

Because this Strength attribute is a base attribute, if he were to use 【Explode】 again, after the Strength attribute is additionally increased by 6.5 times, the Strength attribute could instantly reach 150,000 points.

Throwing a punch would be a terrifying force of 1.5 million jin! And this is just pure physical strength.

If it were under the reinforcement of True Qi, to what astonishing degree would the power of this punch reach?

Lu Yu cast his gaze toward the 【Wanzhang Shenggong】. He had practiced many fist and foot martial arts before, but this was the first one that utilized True Qi.

As a prerequisite martial art that can lead to the top-tier martial art 【Dragon Elephant Prajna Art】, the 【Wanzhang Shenggong】 must be a first-class martial art worthy of the name; learning it would certainly not be a loss.

With a thought, he added one point of Experience Value to it, and the proficiency rose by one-eightieth.

A smile appeared on Lu Yu's lips unconsciously. Palm martial arts can enjoy the Experience Value reduction brought by the Basic Palm Technique, and the Experience Value required to max out this martial art is much less compared to the previous Thousand Elephant Divine Skill.

He added all the remaining Experience Value, and a faint warm current flowed slowly through his body.

【Wanzhang Shenggong: Initial Mastery, Trait: Steel Bones and Iron Muscles Level 1, Power of One Ox Level 1】

【Steel Bones and Iron Muscles: Each time the skill level increases, the Constitution attribute increases by one hundred points】

Both Constitution and Strength attributes increased by one hundred points. However, Lu Yu couldn't help but frown.

He felt that an increase of one hundred points in the Constitution attribute was quite good. But the Strength attribute only increased by one hundred points per level; was this a bit too little?

It wasn't that this increase was very low; after all, the three Arrow Techniques he learned previously had similar Strength attribute bonuses, which suggests that such an increase might belong to the normal range.

But if compared to the Thousand Elephant Divine Skill, then it was far behind.

At the Consummation realm, the Wanzhang Shenggong only increases Strength by 500 points, while the Strength increase brought by the Thousand Elephant Divine Skill is 25 times that.

With such a huge gap, how could the Wanzhang Shenggong compete with the Thousand Elephant Divine Skill?

Just then, a sharp glint suddenly flashed in Lu Yu's eyes.

It's the True Qi! That's right, only this explanation makes sense.

Presumably, it is due to the bonus of True Qi that the power of this palm technique can rival the Thousand Elephant Divine Skill.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu suddenly became interested.

After consuming 160 points of Experience Value, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

【Wanzhang Shenggong: Minor Accomplishment, Trait: Steel Bones and Iron Muscles Level 2, Power of One Ox Level 2, Mountain Pushing Palm Level 1】

【Mountain Pushing Palm: Active skill, consumes 1000 points of True Qi, condenses a palm print over a meter high, causing damage up to three times the practitioner's Strength value; the further the distance, the lower the damage. Each time the skill level increases, the True Qi consumption increases by one fold, and the damage additionally increases by three times】

"Mountain Pushing Palm, the name is quite imposing," Lu Yu muttered to himself.

It is no wonder; this Wanzhang Shenggong is inherently an extremely rigid and fierce palm technique, and the subsequent 【Dragon Elephant Prajna Art】 is an even more formidable, overbearing, and peerlessly fierce palm martial art.

"A Level 1 Mountain Pushing Palm can cause up to three times the damage," Lu Yu murmured while looking at his palm.

That is to say, if he hits an opponent with this palm, his original 20,000 points of Strength could instantly become 60,000 points!

If he were to first raise his Strength attribute to 150,000 points and then use True Qi to execute this palm, wouldn't the explosive power reach 450,000 points?

Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but gasp.

This is only a Level 1 Mountain Pushing Palm. Upon reaching the Consummation realm, a Level 4 Mountain Pushing Palm can reach 12 times the Strength attribute in damage!

150,000 points of Strength could directly explode to 1.8 million points!

Converting based on 100 jin of punching force corresponding to 10 points of Strength, 1.8 million points of Strength is 18 million jin, which is 9,000 tons!

One punch down, and it would be enough to pierce the armor of a heavy tank! What kind of concept is this?

The composite armor of a heavy tank has a protection level equivalent to five or six hundred millimeters of homogeneous steel plate.

Even without using anti-armor weapons, even a volley of 150mm artillery would find it difficult to cause substantial damage to it.

And the surface defense of a top-tier Elite-level Fierce Beast is roughly at this level.

"This is too exaggerated," Lu Yu felt it was a bit unreal.

To be able to explode an Elite-level Fierce Beast with one punch while bare-handed? It's almost like dreaming.

But this is the magical effect produced by the combination of body refining and Qi refining.

These two paths of cultivation, either one can allow a cultivator to obtain powerful strength far beyond what ordinary people imagine. Although the difficulty of practicing the two paths might be different.

However, if someone tries to walk both paths at the same time, the difficulty will increase geometrically, and the time and energy required are unimaginable. Therefore, many people chose to give up after trying.

But if someone can persist and succeed, the improvement brought about by this is something that those who only walk one of these paths cannot even imagine.

Lu Yu took a deep breath; within the entire Martial Arts Association, perhaps he was the only one steadfastly walking this difficult path.

If one were to simply practice Qi and train this martial art to Consummation, a single palm strike could also cause damage equivalent to twelve times the power, which is already quite considerable.

An average Pulse Refining Martial Artist has a strength attribute of at least one or two thousand points; when exploding with full force, an output of ten or twenty thousand points of strength is roughly equivalent to the power provided by the Thousand Elephant Divine Skill.

Perhaps this is the reason why these two martial arts can be evenly matched?

However, is it really just that? Lu Yu found this somewhat hard to believe.

Because the Thousand Elephant Divine Skill is merely a body-refining martial art, not a fist or foot martial art.

Those who practice the Thousand Elephant Divine Skill might have less True Qi in their bodies than other Martial Artists, but it is absolutely impossible for them to have none at all.

If a practitioner could unleash the power of the Thousand Elephant Divine Skill while using other fist or foot martial arts, wouldn't that power at least multiply several times over?

Relying solely on the Mountain Pushing Palm, how could one contend with that?

"There must be even more powerful palm Secret Techniques later on!" Lu Yu said with certainty.
