A breakthrough is just a matter of time.
"Thankfully, it just adds some difficulty."
Confidence appeared in Chen Fan’s eyes.
Isn’t it just a First-grade Martial Arts True Pill?
He can condense it as well.
In fact, he even wanted to condense the rumored Heaven-grade Martial Arts True Pill.
"Let Ling Yu enjoy a little longer."
Chen Fan calmed his mind and looked at the Skill Bar.
The Undying Golden Body was finally unlocked.
And the Nine Provinces Archery, also fully unlocked.
Besides these two martial arts, there were also the Undying Seal Technique, and the Wisdom Scripture of All Methods.
Chen Fan glanced at the Experience Points, which had surprisingly reached over thirty million, unexpected.
But after thinking it through, it made sense.
The fierce beasts in the underground space of Rat City far exceeded the Bloodthirsty Ants.
Moreover, he had killed the Rat King and his hundreds of subordinates.
Gaining almost twenty million Experience Points in one go was reasonable.
Chen Fan’s lips curled into a smile.
Over thirty million Experience Points should be enough to max out these martial arts.
As for the Nine-Character Mantra and Ice Heart Technique, since they required time to complete even after being exchanged, there was no need to reserve Experience Points specifically for them.
With this thought, he simply opened the Awakened Association Mall and exchanged these two Supreme Martial Arts.
After browsing through them, two more lines appeared in the Skill Bar.
The collection progress of the Ice Heart Technique was the highest, requiring just over a day to complete.
The Nine-Character Mantra required more time, a full five days.
"That seems normal."
Chen Fan thought to himself.
The Ice Heart Technique’s function was merely to clear away inner evil thoughts.
The Nine-Character Mantra was much more potent.
It involved nine characters corresponding to nine hand seals, including attack, defense, recovery, and burst; clearing inner evil thoughts was just one of its functions.
After taking a deep breath, Chen Fan decided to start adding points.
The first to add, naturally, was the Undying Golden Body.
Though output is important, survival comes first.
Otherwise, even with high attack power, perishing together with the opponent was meaningless.
Once mastering this martial art, both the imminent Beast Tide and future headquarters invasions would be much easier.
Chen Fan concentrated his mind and added ten million Experience Points.
The progress bar of the Undying Golden Body rose by one-sixth.
Chen Fan nodded.
It matched his expectations; from completely ignorant to beginner level in the Undying Golden Body requires one million Experience Points, but due to the Sun Observation Technique’s experience reduction effect, six hundred thousand was enough.
"What kind of traits would be unlocked?"
Chen Fan felt a wave of anticipation.
After all, this was the highest-level martial art he had studied so far.
After adding another fifty thousand Experience Points, Chen Fan immediately felt his blood boil like a great river, and the True Qi in his Sea of Qi also changed.
His eyes lit up at once.
Clearly, this martial art not only enhanced physical attributes but also increased internal True Essence.
Undying Golden Body: Initial Glimpse (0%), Traits: Heaven and Earth Level 1, Solid Essence Level 1
Heaven and Earth: Each skill level permanently increases physical attributes by ten thousand points.
Solid Essence: Each skill level additionally boosts Primordial True Qi by one fold.
After reading the descriptions of the two traits, Chen Fan gasped.
As expected of Supreme Martial Arts, the enhancement it brought far exceeded Supreme Martial Arts.
For example, the increase in physical attributes.
Supreme Martial Arts unlocks Solid as a Rock, which boosts physical attributes by three thousand points per level; reaching the Perfection Realm totals fifteen thousand points.
But the Undying Golden Body, at the beginner level alone, instantly added ten thousand points to physical attributes, thrice that of Solid as a Rock!
If raised to the Perfection Realm, physical attributes could be boosted by fifty thousand points!
Fifty thousand points, what a concept—even Chen Fan’s physical attributes now only stand at seventy to eighty thousand points, almost doubling from one Supreme Martial Art!
Similarly, the other trait.
Supreme Martial Arts level heart methods boost Primordial True Qi by fivefold per level.
But Supreme Martial Arts boosts by tenfold per level.
Reaching the Perfection Realm would quintuple internal True Qi!
"This is Supreme Martial Arts; if it’s Divine Demon Martial Arts, how great would the enhancement be?"
This thought leaped in Chen Fan’s mind.
Soon, he shook his head—it’s too early to think about these.
Unlike Supreme Martial Arts, acquiring Divine Demon Martial Arts is extremely difficult.
He had learned from Song Family about a Divine Demon-level Martial Art, but it was just a part of it—just considered a Supreme Martial Art at best.
Focusing first on learning Supreme Martial Arts will unlock more Supreme Martial Arts.
Otherwise, unless he’s incredibly lucky, securing a full Divine Demon Martial Art, he’ll just watch helplessly.
How great are such odds? Even noble families rarely hold complete Divine Demon Martial Arts.
"Continue."
Based on previous experience, Chen Fan directly added one million twenty thousand Experience Points.
As expected, the Undying Golden Body’s progress bar shot to one hundred percent.
With surging internal blood and expanding True Qi in the Sea of Qi, meanwhile, a white light flashed in his mind.
Undying Golden Body: Slight Achievement (0%), Traits: Heaven and Earth Level 2, Solid Essence Level 2, Indestructible Level 1
Indestructible: Each skill level boosts physical defense by threefold.
"A triple boost?"
Chen Fan was first stunned, then nodded in satisfaction.
Though unlocked at the Slight Achievement Realm, it provides a triple boost—far exceeding the Supreme Martial Arts’ single fold.
Reaching the Perfection Realm would be twelvefold, similar to Vajra Indestructible Body’s passive.
Although it falls short of Vajra Indestructible Body’s active effect.
However, the key is one is unlocked at the Slight Achievement Realm, the other is Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill’s core trait.
The real comparison should be with the Undying Golden Body’s core trait.
Chen Fan’s anticipation grew.
This time, he added three million twenty thousand points.
Undying Golden Body’s progress rose to one hundred percent, reaching the Entering the Hall realm.
Three million twenty thousand points...
Chen Fan squinted his eyes—to extrapolate, the next experience point requirement would be six million forty thousand.
From the Great Success Realm to Perfection would then need twelve million eighty thousand...
Including previous expenditures, fully maxing out a Supreme Martial Arts requires more than twenty million experience points!
"That’s quite a lot."
Chen Fan thought it fortunate.
Initially, he assumed one million experience points would suffice.
He had underestimated it.
The Undying Golden Body, among many Supreme Martial Arts, ranks at best mid-level, requiring over twenty million points to max.
Stronger ones might need thirty to forty million, even fifty to sixty million?
"To master more Supreme Martial Arts, not only are the exchange points astronomical, but the perfection realm’s experience requirement is also a huge number."
Chen Fan sighed deeply.
Next, he looked at the Skill Bar.
Undying Golden Body: Entering the Hall (0%), Traits: Heaven and Earth Level 3, Solid Essence Level 3, Indestructible Level 2
This time clearly did not unlock any new traits.
"Unexpectedly, the core trait of this martial art should appear."
Expectations filled Chen Fan’s eyes as he added six million forty thousand experience points.
