Chen Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief, his face brimming with a radiant smile.
Without the existence of the cultivation gate, the Undying Golden Body among the many Supreme Martial Arts should be enough to rank at the top.
Moreover, as the user’s Physical Attributes increase, so does the upper limit.
"These twenty million experience points were well spent."
He murmured to himself,
If he were to encounter the Liang Family Ancestor again, he wouldn’t have to flee so hastily; perhaps it would be the other party who would have to run.
"Next, I need to enhance the Nine Provinces Archery."
Chen Fan’s gaze shifted downward.
According to the description, this archery technique has an extremely long attack range, capable of reaching the Land of the Nine Provinces.
However, as usual, these cultivation technique descriptions contain exaggerations, sometimes tenfold or even a hundredfold.
Chen Fan first added one hundred experience points,
The skill level of Nine Provinces Archery soared like a rocket, swiftly rising.
The skill level progressed from beginner level to Small Success, Entering the Hall, Great Success, until it stopped at just over thirty percent.
Chen Fan smiled faintly and added another ten to twenty thousand experience points.
Immediately, the Nine Provinces Archery reached the Perfection Realm.
"Supreme Martial Arts indeed saves experience points."
Seeing this, Chen Fan couldn’t help but sigh.
It took just over one hundred and twenty thousand experience points to reach the Perfection Realm.
The next moment, he looked over,
[Nine Provinces Archery: Perfection (cannot be enhanced), Traits: Solid as a Rock Level 5, Strength of a Tiger Level 5, Heaven-Piercing Arrow Level 3, Nine Provinces Arrow Level 1]
A total of four traits were unlocked. The first two, like the Heaven-Burning Arrow Technique, permanently increased Physical Attributes by three thousand points for each level, and Strength Attributes by 5400 points per level for the latter.
Such a result was to be expected; after all, being Supreme Martial Arts and both archery techniques, some similarities are quite normal.
Chen Fan turned his gaze to the latter two traits.
[Heaven-Piercing Arrow: Active Skill, upon activation, consumes one million points of True Qi, shoots an arrow with hundredfold power; for every thousand meters of range increase, the power decreases tenfold, with an effective range of ten thousand meters. For every level of skill increase, the power loss per thousand meters decreases by half]
"Ten thousand meters?"
Seeing this, Chen Fan exclaimed in surprise.
Currently, his range is about three thousand meters; extending further is possible, but the power drops significantly, and accuracy also decreases.
But this Heaven-Piercing Arrow has a range of ten thousand meters.
No, not just ten thousand meters.
Chen Fan looked further down.
For every level of skill increase, the power reduction per thousand meters decreases by half, with the additional two words.
In other words.
Chen Fan’s eyes showed excitement,
At Level 1, for every thousand meters, the power decreases tenfold, becoming almost powerless at ten thousand meters, hence its effective range of ten thousand meters.
Upon reaching Level 2, the rate of power decrease is half of the original, meaning instead of tenfold, it drops fivefold per thousand meters.
This change doubles the effective range from ten thousand meters to twenty thousand meters!
But this isn’t the end.
Because the Heaven-Piercing Arrow is at Level 3.
For every thousand meters, the rate of power decrease further drops from five to 2.5, doubling the range once again to forty thousand meters!
This is the true range of the Heaven-Piercing Arrow!
"Impressive."
Chen Fan admired.
Most ground-to-air missiles have a range barely reaching ten thousand meters.
His attack range is four times that.
Of course, there are shortcomings.
The power is low.
At its highest, the power is hundredfold; at ten thousand meters, the power drops to seventy-fivefold.
If faced with a Beast King-level flying fierce beast, this power would barely scratch the surface.
Luckily, the Flaming Flame Eagle he is dealing with is just a Commander-level fierce beast, even a tenfold powerful arrow would suffice.
"There’s still one more trait, the Nine Provinces Arrow."
Chen Fan’s eyes showed anticipation.
Honestly, just the Heaven-Piercing Arrow is enough for him right now.
But having more skills doesn’t hurt.
[Nine Provinces Arrow: Passive Effect, for every level increase, boosts Strength Attribute by ten thousand points, Active Effect, upon activation, consumes ten million points of True Qi, shoots an arrow with five hundredfold power; for every thousand meters, the power decreases fivefold, each skill level increases, reducing power reduction speed by fifty percent]
"An arrow with five hundredfold power? For every thousand meters, power drops fivefold? Does this mean the effective range can reach one hundred thousand meters?"
Chen Fan gasped in astonishment.
One hundred thousand meters is equivalent to one hundred kilometers.
Admittedly, the name Nine Provinces Arrow is exaggerated; in ancient times, distances between each province were at least four to five hundred kilometers, calculating the Nine Provinces would be four to five thousand kilometers, almost fiftyfold exaggeration.
However, an arrow with such range is indeed astonishing.
For instance, the distance from the Chen Family Fortress to here is approximately one hundred kilometers.
He could shoot an arrow from Anshan City and hit anyone within the fortress!
Some might question if he can see that far.
His current eyesight isn’t that exaggerated, but let’s not forget, the maximum range of Celestial Response is about one hundred kilometers.
He doesn’t need to see, just sensing the aura allows him to attack.
This applies to attacking flying fierce beasts confidently.
If sensed within range, it can be hit!
"It’s a pity that it requires too much True Qi; even if I shoot one arrow, I can’t shoot a second one."
Chen Fan looked at the description.
Each use requires consuming ten million points of True Qi.
Not something an average True Essence Realm Martial Artist can afford.
And the power seems somewhat average, only five hundredfold.
Upon thinking, Chen Fan felt relieved.
Each has its strengths and weaknesses.
Both are Supreme Martial Arts.
Nine Provinces Archery’s advantage lies in range, while power is decent but not exceptionally high.
Heaven-Burning Arrow Technique’s strength is its power, but range is mediocre.
"With Nine Provinces Archery, the chances of hunting those Flaming Flame Eagles tomorrow have increased."
Chen Fan smiled, then also upgraded the Undying Seal Technique and the Wisdom Scripture of All Methods to the Perfection Realm.
His Spiritual Power surged again.
The unlocked traits were as expected.
Undying Seal Technique can confuse opponents’ spirits, creating illusions. Its strongest aspect lies in absorbing incoming True Qi and converting part into his own or using it to heal injuries, with a conversion rate of thirty percent.
Chen Fan nodded slightly.
With this martial art, his chances of winning against Martial Artists in future battles increase.
Especially against noble family Martial Artists.
The other martial art, Wisdom Scripture of All Methods, has surprising effects.
It can transform a person into an existence similar to an Awakener, due to the trait unlocked upon reaching the Perfection Realm, Transforming Illusion into Reality.
Unlocking this trait consumes Spiritual Power, transforming air or water into solid walls for attack or defense, conjuring fireballs, or controlling thunder, all akin to Awakener abilities.
Even though most Awakeners typically only control one superpower, nearly impossible to manage both Water and Fire Elements simultaneously.
"No wonder it’s called Wisdom Scripture of All Methods."
Chen Fan thought.
The downside is high experience point consumption, three to four million, double that of Undying Seal Technique.
This exhausted his experience points.
Secondly, for those who cultivate this martial art, using natural elements consumes Spiritual Power heavily, with smaller power compared to Awakeners.
After all, Awakeners are specialists.
Fortunately, those who cultivate this technique have numerous methods, whereas Awakeners often have singular abilities, easily countered.
"I’ve heard combining these two martial arts can create a new one, the Black Hand Demon Skill."
Chen Fan muttered, looking into his mind, revealing a faint smile.
Indeed, an information line appeared before his eyes.
