Chapter 166: Chapter 165: Traits, Invulnerable! (Please subscribe)
Chen Fan thought about this, then did not hesitate and added 199 points of experience.
The spiritual power in his mind instantly increased by one fold, and an unprecedented sense of fulfillment surged through his heart.
He closed his eyes, and everything in the room appeared vividly in his mind.
[Moon Observation Technique: Entering the Hall (0%), Traits: Concentration Level 3, Meditation Level 3, Saving Level 2]
Nothing new was unlocked, which was expected by Chen Fan, thus he wasn’t surprised.
"According to Meng Yu, reaching the Entering the Hall level allows one to visualize all the phases of the moon and maintain them for some time. Visualizing the transition from new moon to full moon and back repeatedly is considered Great Success."
He pondered for a moment and tried to visualize the process of the moon phases in his mind.
The process went smoothly, and he didn’t feel tired even after several minutes.
"It must be because my spiritual power is too high, not only does it have the effect of Great Success, but what can be achieved with the Perfection Realm of Moon Observation Technique, I might be able to do now, and..."
His gaze fell on the skill bar.
The proficiency of Moon Observation Technique increased by about one percent.
At this rate, 500 minutes, which is about 8 hours, will be enough to elevate the proficiency to Great Success Realm.
It’s worth noting that C-level Awakeners take years to elevate Moon Observation Technique to Great Success Realm.
"Let’s continue."
This time, he consumed 400 experience points, feeling the surge of spiritual power in his mind once again, along with a peculiar sensation.
Chen Fan was delighted. Without a doubt, he had unlocked a new trait.
[Moon Observation Technique: Great Success (0%), Traits: Concentration Level 4, Meditation Level 4, Saving Level 3, Inference Level 1]
"Inference?"
Chen Fan scratched his head, what kind of trait is this?
But when he saw it clearly, his face revealed a look of shock.
[Inference: Each level up reduces the experience needed to elevate Martial Arts Realm by ten percent]
He was stunned for a moment before reacting.
Insight?
Enhancing spiritual power also improves one’s insight?
Thinking carefully, it might make sense; after all, people with high spiritual power can focus better, making them learn faster than average individuals.
Therefore,
Elevating Moon Observation Technique to Great Success Realm increases one’s insight, reducing training time for others.
For himself, it reduces the required experience points.
Chen Fan glanced at the remaining 643 experience points, wondering if he could max out Moon Observation Technique.
He tried adding a bit, only to see the proficiency increase by 0.138%.
"Just as expected."
Chen Fan nodded.
Following previous patterns, elevating from Great Success to Perfection requires doubling the experience points, 800 points.
With the Inference trait reducing it by ten percent, 720 points would suffice.
Unfortunately, it’s still a lot less.
Should he give up?
Chen Fan frowned.
Bear in mind that elevating to Perfection is a doubled enhancement, and after further amplification, the values differ significantly.
Suddenly, he thought of something, closing his eyes, he visualized the moon phases change in his mind just like before.
Five minutes passed, he stopped visualizing and checked,
Moon Observation Technique proficiency increased from 0.138% to 1.128%, nearly one percent.
"About the same as before."
Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems the doubled spiritual power balanced out the doubled difficulty.
Still around eight hours.
"Since it doesn’t affect me now, why not stay up all night visualizing the moon phases and elevate Moon Observation Technique to Perfection before enhancing."
"About the 600-plus remaining experience points..."
Chen Fan thought about it, planning to use them on Soul-Annihilating Finger.
As for Thirteen Grand Protectors’ Cross Training, wait for now. If there’s surplus later, or it’s not possible to continue, then add them to Thirteen Grand Protectors’ Cross Training.
Otherwise, using the vast spiritual power only for defense would be a waste.
Time ticked away.
1.138%
1.148%
1.158%
Moon Observation Technique’s proficiency climbed like an ant.
Reaching fifty percent, Chen Fan felt considerable pressure, sweat dripping from his forehead.
But he persisted.
At sixty percent, a needle-like sensation appeared in his mind, with pain growing with each visualization.
"Phew, I think I overestimated myself."
Chen Fan opened his eyes, exhaling deeply. In that case, use meditation for recovery.
He sat crossed-legged on the bed, placing his hands on his thighs palms up, and mentally activated the meditation skill.
Instantly, the spiritual power in his mind recovered rapidly.
After all, it’s a Level 4 meditation skill, recovering forty percent of spiritual power per hour, refilling in two and a half hours.
In a blink, it was dawn.
Voices could be heard downstairs.
Chen Fan rose from the bed, went downstairs for a breakfast, and advised his family not to disturb him before returning upstairs to continue visualizing.
At around seven in the morning, Moon Observation Technique finally reached Perfection.
[Moon Observation Technique: Perfection (cannot be elevated), Traits: Concentration Level 5, Meditation Level 5, Saving Level 4, Inference Level 2]
"No Perfection trait?"
He was a bit surprised and confirmed again.
Ultimately, he had to accept reality.
However, Level 2 Inference can save twenty percent of experience points, which is still exceedingly powerful.
The more he progresses, the more experience he saves.
"Not only no Perfection trait, but no unlocked proficiency level ceiling either."
Chen Fan thought.
Maybe spirit martial arts are different from regular martial arts?
For the time being, he had no clues and after some fruitless thinking, he looked at Soul-Annihilating Finger.
He added a bit of experience points,
The proficiency increased by 4.1%.
"So it originally needed 30 points to reach beginner level, now 24 points are enough."
Chen Fan smiled, adding 23 points of experience.
The spiritual power in his mind increased again, but compared to Moon Observation Technique, it’s much smaller.
[Soul-Annihilating Finger: Initial Glimpse (0%), Traits: Gathering Spirit Level 1]
[Gathering Spirit: Each level increases spiritual power by thirty percent]
"No wonder, it’s only thirty percent."
Chen Fan realized,
The gap is indeed significant, it’s more than double.
But Soul-Annihilating Finger is a spiritual attack type, which is understandable.
After another 48 points of experience, the spiritual power increased further, and a memory surfaced in his mind.
[Soul-Annihilating Finger: Slight Achievement (0%), Traits: Gathering Spirit Level 2, Soul-Annihilating Finger Level 1]
[Soul-Annihilating Finger: Active skill, upon activation, consumes spiritual power. The targeted person takes equal value of spiritual damage. The more spiritual power consumed, the larger the attack range. Each level increases damage by thirty percent]
"Damage equal to spiritual power consumed?"
Chen Fan was thrilled.
It appears this active skill’s consumption of spiritual value is entirely controlled by oneself.
It could use ten percent, or a hundred percent.
The more used, the bigger the range.
"Awakeners should have similar spiritual skills, depending on their awakened superpowers."
Chen Fan thought.
It seems Soul-Annihilating Finger’s maximum potential could be over twice as much, but where does it stand among Awakeners?
Another point is,
This trait seems to be the essence,
The earlier it’s unlocked, the greater the improvement, but does it mean no more traits later?
Unfortunately, it appears so.
After consuming 96 points, then 192 points of experience,
[Soul-Annihilating Finger: Great Success (0%), Traits: Gathering Spirit Level 4, Soul-Annihilating Finger Level 3]
"Hiss..."
Chen Fan took a deep breath.
Following the pattern, Perfection requires 480 points, with twenty percent off, totaling 384 points.
Remaining experience points, 282, not enough?
For a long while, he had a helpless smile.
Would Perfection unlock new traits?
Right now, there’s just an unanswered question.
The remaining 282 points,
Certainly can’t be kept, as unlike Potential Points, experience should be used up as soon as possible.
"Then let’s elevate Thirteen Grand Protectors’ Cross Training."
He was quite curious about these body refining techniques.
After consuming a bit of experience, Thirteen Grand Protectors’ Cross Training proficiency increased by 6.25%.
Then, after adding another 15 experience points, Chen Fan felt a gentle warmth surge within him, significantly strengthening his constitution.
Moreover, his skin and muscles felt more solid, and his head seemed to be harder.
The whole process lasted about five seconds.
Chen Fan curiously checked,
[Thirteen Grand Protectors’ Cross Training: Initial Glimpse (0%), Traits: Imposing Build Level 1, Invulnerable Level 1]
"Two traits?"
Chen Fan was delighted, and these were new traits.
[Imposing Build: Each level increases constitutional attribute by ten points permanently]
[Invulnerable: Each level increases whole-body physical defense by thirty percent]
"Ten points of constitutional attribute!"
Chen Fan couldn’t help but exclaim, it’s the largest increase among the many martial arts he practiced.
The second trait, Invulnerable.
Chen Fan couldn’t help feeling his arms and legs, noting the skin felt much tougher, gleaming slightly.
This just entry-level, the amplification reaches 1.5 times at Perfection.
Meaning, with 1200 constitution points, his defense matches a martial artist with 2400 constitution points!
"What kind of concept is this, should match high-level fierce beasts?"
Chen Fan thought.
Of course, he had no idea of using his body to withstand machine gun fire.
More as a backup, if caught off guard and hit by machine gun bullets, suffering injuries but avoiding fatal ones.
"Let’s continue elevating."
Chen Fan had a premonition,
This martial art should unlock more powerful traits later.
After all, it encompasses thirteen martial arts.
