Chapter 415: Triple Efficiency! (6/10, Autumn Subscription)

Hearing this, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu immediately gave up the idea of learning the Heart Method and was chased off by Fang Yue to practice real combat.

Which is how the scene above came about.

Fang Yue also poked his head out to take a look outside at this moment, then shook his head slightly.

To train Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu to the point of being useful, it'll take some effort.

Fang Yue had also considered whether to pass his own "Star Fire Heart Method" to her or something.

As for the Blazing Fire Heart Method and the like, that was unthinkable—Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was still short on attribute points to meet the basic requirements of the Blazing Fire Heart Method.

But although he wanted to pass the "Star Fire Heart Method" to Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu, Fang Yue had no idea how to begin teaching it.

He did know how the Star Fire Heart Method worked.

But knowing how it works is one thing; knowing how to guide someone else to complete it is another.

Fang Yue himself had learned it back then with a single slap of the manual, so how to adopt the original master-apprentice method to get Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu started was anyone's guess.

As for crafting a manual from an Internal Energy Heart Method, the lifespan it consumed was measured in years—Fang Yue couldn't bear such a huge expenditure.

It's not like he's Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu's nanny; being able to urge her cultivation is already good enough. To attend to everything—what, does she want to ascend to the heavens?

Moreover, the foremost requirement for crafting a manual is having studied the Heart Method deeply enough, having sufficient understanding of it.

Not to mention anything else, Fang Yue simply didn't have that ability.

His understanding of the Star Fire Heart Method was limited to a one-sided knowledge of how to use it and how to cultivate it. As for the underlying principles, he understood nothing at all.

This was somewhat different from Gu Yue Cun's former Captain Chen Mu.

Chen Mu truly took the "Star Fire Heart Method" and cultivated it with ten years of unwavering bitter training, forcibly cultivating it to completion and thoroughly researching it inside out.

That was a completely different path from Fang Yue's quick-cultivation method with the manual.

So Fang Yue simply couldn't craft a manual—he had no way to start writing.

Therefore, Fang Yue had recommended Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu to Lin Ling.

Compared to an "outsider" like Fang Yue, Lin Ling had at least entered the door, having earnestly cultivated the Internal Energy Heart Method and worked her way up step by step.

So in terms of teaching others, she was incomparably stronger than Fang Yue.

Watching Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu below, nervously training with the team members under Lin Ling's guidance, Fang Yue shook his head slightly.

Having attributes but no combat ability—that described her perfectly.

Previously, Fang Yue hadn't held her to high standards; taking it slow was fine.

But after experiencing the Gu Yue Cun village-annihilation incident, Fang Yue realized that nothing follows a set order. To survive in the game, everyone needs to develop themselves with all their might and be prepared to face every danger.

That's why he changed his mind and forced Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu to start real combat.

Since Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was learning the Heart Method from Lin Ling, she was effectively Lin Ling's disciple, so naturally Fang Yue didn't need to worry too much.

Retracting his gaze, Fang Yue also began his own daily cultivation.

Since Fang Yue had long since broken through the limit of the Post-Heaven Second-rate Realm and advanced to the Post-Heaven First-rate Realm.

So when Fang Yue cultivated the Blazing Fire Heart Method, which was a realm lower, he clearly felt that his cultivation progress was much faster than usual.

Clearly, during the night of the village annihilation, the Blazing Fire Heart Method had only just broken through to the sixth layer. At the time, the seventh layer felt impossibly far away, and it would take a very long time before another breakthrough was possible.

But now, the elevation of realm had driven up the cultivation speed of the Internal Energy Heart Method.

After cultivating for the whole night, combined with the fire stones, the progress was astonishingly fast.

Fang Yue figured that at this rate, in just a few days, he'd be able to break through the Blazing Fire Heart Method to the seventh layer.

The next morning at dawn, Fang Yue happily shared this news with Lord Han. Lord Han pondered for a moment, then analyzed: "Although after a realm breakthrough, cultivating an Internal Energy Heart Method below your own realm does grant a certain bonus, logically speaking the effect shouldn't be that strong. You may have some other fortuitous encounter you haven't noticed yourself."

Fortuitous encounter?

Fang Yue was stunned, then remembered—damn, after his realm breakthrough, he'd directly gained 2 points of Comprehension.

Could that be the real reason for his suddenly rapid cultivation progress?

If 1 point of Comprehension gave a cultivation efficiency of 1, then 3 points of Comprehension would give an efficiency of 3.

That meant compared to before, the efficiency had tripled!

If the base of cultivation efficiency were higher, this kind of leveraged, multiplicative boost would be even more terrifying.

If this were really the case, Fang Yue could completely understand why the big sects always liked to pick disciples with high aptitude.

All because the gap in cultivation efficiency was just too enormous!

From 1 point of Comprehension to 3 points of Comprehension tripled the efficiency—if someone had 10 points of Comprehension, wouldn't that be tenfold!

100 points, that would be 100 times the efficiency!

A Martial Art that takes an ordinary person 100 years to master, a genius could complete in just 1 year. That time difference is so vast it's despair-inducing—something hard work and diligent cultivation can hardly make up for.

Of course, Fang Yue felt his speculation was a bit exaggerated, but judging from the current feedback of his cultivation efficiency, the role of Comprehension, the invisible boost Comprehension gave to strength, was truly enormous!

Fang Yue, who had previously been complaining that accumulating 【Realm Breakthrough Progress】 was too slow, suddenly felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—unwilling to take the conventional breakthrough path, wanting to honestly and steadily accumulate foundations, breaking through only when 【Realm Breakthrough Progress】 reached 100%.

One step at a time—that's the true way!

Fang Yue even suddenly regretted that, not knowing this information earlier, he had been in such a rush to break through, and had been shortchanged on Comprehension points from the start.

Fang Yue immediately wanted to go online and urge other players to make sure their attribute points reached max value, and to perform realm breakthroughs only when 【Realm Breakthrough Progress】 was at max.

But very quickly, he realized a problem.

That was... most players were actually not even as high in attributes as Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu.

They could barely squeeze out a chance to enter Martial Dao, let alone raise their attributes to max value.

Being able to enter Martial Dao, learn a Heart Method, and raise their realm to Post-Heaven Third-rate was already pretty good. Fang Yue's progress was too far ahead—others couldn't keep up.

Of course, there was also a portion of people who might have attributes and opportunities similar to Fang Yue's, ahead of ordinary players.

But even among this portion, the most famous ones were still far short of the max attribute points for the Post-Heaven Third-rate Realm.

Not to mention Post-Heaven Second-rate Realm, Post-Heaven First-rate Realm—those were truly threshold after threshold, capable of bottlenecking everyone.

Moreover, stubbornly accumulating Comprehension points was just like being stuck at a level cap.

Fang Yue's strength improved quickly; killing anomalies across levels raised his attributes, so he never lacked resources for 【Realm Breakthrough Progress】.

Other players were different—every anomaly they encountered was a team boss fight; without teammates to help, it was a free kill for the enemy.

Under such circumstances, splitting a few attributes meant pitiful gains; if they wanted to accumulate Realm Breakthrough Progress to full before breaking through, the other players would have long since taken off.
