Chapter 60: Body Forging Combat Technique

【Challenger Notice (All Channels): Player "Evening Breeze" absorbed the recorded content of the Information Stone and obtained the special skill "Heavenly Talisman Combat Technique".】

Heavenly Talisman Combat Technique:

Special Skill Tier: Tier Two

Skill Description: A non-Painful Painful Minghun special skill; it can be cultivated and circulated to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, or absorb spiritual energy by consuming Energy Stones. During cultivation, it grants a body-forging level experience bonus.

As the all-channel notice rang out, the green Information Stone that had been absorbed turned to powder in Zhou Xiao's hand and scattered with the wind.

The memories inside had been filtered and modified by the Challenger System, blocking the visual content of the cultivation demonstration, and were directly branded into Zhou Xiao's mind as memory imprints.

Without needing to learn, he had already comprehended the usage of the Heavenly Talisman Combat Technique.

The appearance of the notice also sparked heated discussion among forum players.

All players were envious, asking exactly what this Heavenly Talisman Combat Technique was.

The strengthening system of the Monster World is divided into Star Veins and Body Forging; Star Veins represent the upper limit, but having many Star Vein slots does not necessarily mean strength.

Without Body Forging level compatibility, no matter how many Star Veins the main form opens, they are limited by the monster level of a single Painful Painful Minghun.

However, raising the Body Forging level is extremely difficult.

The Shou Shou Jili cost for raising Star Vein levels grows progressively, starting at only 500 points of Shou Shou Jili, while raising the Body Forging level starts at 10,000 points of Shou Shou Jili; the excessively high threshold blocks the growth steps of many players.

Although one can swallow spiritual plants and specific spiritual ore to gain Body Forging experience, finding such resources requires luck.

Moreover, the Shou Shou Jili consumption for raising the Body Forging level is not always 10,000 points.

Players learned from the Guide that Body Forging levels are also tiered; early Body Forging levels 1-10 require consuming 10,000 points of Shou Shou Jili, while subsequent Body Forging level raises require Shou Shou Jili consumption that grows exponentially.

The Guide's explanation was that for the body to accommodate the power of different Painful Painful Minghun characteristics, a stronger physique is needed to bear it.

And the process of the body bearing different characteristics involves bottleneck after bottleneck; after crossing each bottleneck, more Shou Shou Jili is needed to support the increased consumption.

Although the Guide explained in great detail, the players' understanding was only one thing: game settings.

This causes raising the Body Forging level to become increasingly difficult as strength grows, making it one of the largest Shou Shou Jili expenditure points for future strength improvement.

Now that it was known that a special skill existed to absorb floating energy particles of heaven and earth through cultivation to gain Body Forging experience, players' eyes turned red, and they all raised questions on the forum.

As the sound of discussion grew louder and friend requests rang out continuously, the person involved, Zhou Xiao, posted a demonstration thread online:

【The effect you want is here; stop private messaging, it's annoying!!!】

OP: Evening Breeze

Content: (Video Attachment)

……

The video was filmed from the Guide's avatar perspective; in the frame, Zhou Xiao stood in a corner of the Ancient Battlefield.

Suddenly, his left foot stepped out lightly; following the imprint memory in his mind to practice the combat technique, tiny crystals appeared in the air, drawn and gathered by Zhou Xiao's movements, adhering to the skin surface, slowly merging into the body, and automatically circulating through the four limbs and hundred bones along a path.

The muscles on his body began to ripple as energy entered, with tiny crystals covering the muscle fibers, strengthening their toughness and power.

The process of using the Body Forging Combat Technique requires breathing, movement, and the circulation of energy paths within the body to proceed in coordination across three steps.

Since the memory was directly branded into his mind, Zhou Xiao's demonstration was smooth and fluid, with continuous movements and not a single stutter.

A few minutes later, the scene switched to Zhou Xiao's perspective as he demonstrated; a translucent progress box floated before his eyes.

【Body Forging Level 0: 12.48/10000】:

Mastered Combat Technique: Heavenly Talisman Combat Technique (Tier Two)

Heavenly Talisman Combat Technique in circulation: Gain 0.96 points of Body Forging experience per minute (specific cultivation effects are influenced by the current environment and talent combat technique tier; the more abundant the energy in an area, the higher the cultivation return; efficiency can also be accelerated by eating specific spiritual plants).

……

After watching the video content, the onlooking players left comments in the comment section.

I am a College Student: To be honest, I'm jealous; one minute produces roughly 1 point of Shou Shou Jili return; theoretically, 10,000 minutes, which is 7 days, and you can reach Body Forging Level 1. You really deserve to die; how did this dogshit luck not happen to me?

Night is Coming: I was just about to post a guide, telling everyone some good news; I discovered that Body Forging levels can be gained entirely through exercise, so every day I enter the game, I run several laps around Emperor's Tomb Village. Now, after seeing your sharing post, I've gone into self-isolation; the Body Forging experience I get from my exercise is completely incomparable to yours. Please tell me how to obtain the combat technique.

You Can't Catch This Punch: Brother, quickly share how to obtain the Body Forging Combat Technique; I want it too, aaaaaah, please!

Concerned Citizen: Why do good things never happen to me? Others mine and get high-quality spiritual ore; I mine and always produce Level 1 spiritual ore. Others easily hunt Meng Yuan Chu; I've played for so long and haven't even seen what a Meng Yuan Chu monster looks like with my own eyes. Does this broken game have a hidden luck attribute? I'm so angry; I'll dig for three hours straight without rest later to vent my emotions. I won't browse the forum recently; I can't stand seeing others get rich.

Is This Beaver?: Bro, reveal some intel; this game has faction growth as the core mainline; we players are all brothers in one faction. Don't hide it; quickly share how to obtain the Body Forging Combat Technique.

Big Weapon: As the saying goes, studying martial arts for three years is not as good as fighting for one year; fighting for three years is not as good as wrestling for one year; wrestling for three years is not as good as buying a gun. So, does any friend want to buy a custom weapon? The Doomsday Technology Guild's latest second-generation spiritual energy firearms are developed; price is 150 Shou Shou Jili, lethality is extremely fierce, much more useful than learning any Body Forging Combat Technique.

……

Facing the requests from forum netizens, Zhou Xiao didn't hide it either and stated the reason he obtained the Body Forging Combat Technique.

Learning that the Body Forging Combat Technique was gifted by the God of Wealth, the description of the God of Wealth in the forum players' eyes became even more concrete.

Many players had once discussed a question on the forum: the God of Wealth's setting is very similar to a special NPC commonly found in other games; these NPCs are called "Mysterious Merchants," only players with good luck can encounter them, and they can buy special items not existing in the Shangcheng from them.

After hearing Zhou Xiao's explanation, the players' positioning of the God of Wealth became even clearer.

The God of Wealth is a special NPC who scatters money everywhere and gives opportunities.

And every gift given is different; from the initial Evil Crystals to the current Body Forging Combat Technique, perhaps even more precious gifts await unlocking.

While favorability skyrocketed, players began searching the mountains and fields for the God of Wealth's tracks, trying to obtain the gifts he gave.

The next few chapters will be changed to single chapters of 4000-5000 words; the word count will be no less, only more. The new book period results are not bad. Originally scheduled for November 1st to go on sale, now delayed by one round to eat another recommendation; continuing to reserve explosive update drafts.
