Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 342 - 330: Integration and Enhancement, Chu Feng’s Misjudgment, A Loss-Making Deal!
Chapter 342: Chapter 330: Integration and Enhancement, Chu Feng’s Misjudgment, A Loss-Making Deal!
Chu Feng held in his hands the "Asura Finger," an Upper Grade Human Rank Ultimate Skill that he had obtained through Lu Lin. This skill could instantaneously unleash about fifty percent of his power, making it a rather decent Ultimate Skill within the Everlasting Realm.
Of course, Chu Feng looked down upon this Ultimate Skill. At the moment, he only took it out to use as nourishment to enhance the rank of his self-created Ultimate Skill, "Demon-Breaking."
He flipped through the booklet from start to finish, and a prompt asking if he wanted to learn the skill popped up on the panel.
However, unlike the hasty absorption of Martial Techniques in the past, he found that he could understand most of the content of this Ultimate Skill, and he could almost perform it to some extent.
After reading it again and repeatedly pondering the contents of "Asura Finger," corresponding Martial Technique entries gradually emerged on the panel.
"Asura Finger (Human Rank Mid-level)" Beginner (80%), Power Output Limit: 55%
"Ha, I truly am a genius. I learned ’Asura Finger’ just by reading through it twice!"
Chu Feng’s face was smug, showing a shallow triumph to any possible observers.
In his heart, however, he understood the saying, "Master one and you can master all."
By now, he had a comprehensive understanding of Senior Martial Techniques and his mind was filled with insights into Martial Arts that could only be comprehended at the Peak Climbing Perfection Realm.
If he couldn’t easily grasp an Upper Grade Human Rank Martial Technique, wouldn’t all his training have been in vain?
After fully memorizing the contents of "Asura Finger," Chu Feng closed his eyes, his gaze shifted slightly, and he looked at the progression level behind the "Demon-Breaking" entry in the panel.
A prompt caught his eye.
"To increase the progression level, please select a Martial Technique for fusion."
’Select "Asura Finger"!’
Chu Feng eagerly watched the panel, only to see another prompt pop up.
"Target Martial Technique’s Realm is insufficient, please enhance!"
"..."
Chu Feng was helpless. Was it not recognizing his mastery over the skill?
He had no choice but to spend Attribute Points, raising the Realm of "Asura Finger" layer by layer, repeatedly making the selection.
But the Attribute Panel kept giving him the same prompt every time: "Target Martial Technique’s Realm is insufficient, please enhance!"
It wasn’t until he had spent a total of 44 Attribute Points to raise "Asura Finger" to the Peak Perfection Realm that the Attribute Panel finally brought up a prompt:
"Would you like to choose ’Asura Finger’ as the integration content to enhance the rank of the self-created Martial Skill: ’Demon-Breaking’? Attribute Points Cost: 10"
"..."
Chu Feng realized he had miscalculated!
He had originally thought that as long as he learned these Ultimate Skills, they could be used to increase the rank of "Demon-Breaking." For this reason, he had specifically emptied out Lu Lin and had gotten a bunch of Lower Grade Ultimate Skills as nourishment.
Yet he hadn’t anticipated that the Attribute Panel had such high requirements, actually needing the nourishment to be at the Peak Perfection Realm!
However, upon reflection, it made sense. Enhancing the rank of "Demon-Breaking" required the Martial Arts insights from similar types of skills.
But what insights could a beginner’s Ultimate Skill have? It was nothing more than imitating the secrets in the manual.
If even that could be used to enhance the realm of an Ultimate Skill, it would truly be unreasonable.
But with this, the hundred or so Attribute Points he had set aside beforehand were not going to be enough.
Raising "Asura Finger" to the Peak Perfection Realm had already cost a total of 44 Attribute Points, and this wasn’t even including the 10 Attribute Points needed for the integration and enhancement.
In other words, integrating a Mid-level Human Rank Ultimate Skill into "Demon-Breaking" required a total of 54 Attribute Points!
Even a Lower-level Human Rank Ultimate Skill would need a full 47 points!
Chu Feng anxiously scratched his head, sighing inwardly: ’What else can I do, I’ve come this far, the Attribute Points have been spent, can I still back out now?
’Just integrate it and see the effect.’
’Yes.’
In an instant, his understanding of "Asura Finger" became active in his mind, integrating into the comprehension of his self-created Ultimate Skill "Demon-Breaking," deepening his insights into "Demon-Breaking."
Then, to his astonishment, the "Demon-Breaking" entry on the Attribute Panel moved and transformed into:
"Self-created Martial Skill: Demon-Breaking (Upper Tier of Earth Level - In Progression)" Progression Level: 10%↑, Power Output Limit: 101%↑
Chu Feng: "..."
He sprang to his feet, disbelievingly staring at the panel, nearly breaking his defense and cursing out loud on the spot!
Good fellow, I’m quite the good fellow!
Spending a whopping 54 Attribute Points, the damn Progression Level only increased by 10%? The limit of Strength output went up by 1%??
Even if the level difference is a bit too much, this is still way too little! freewёbnoνel.com
Dammit, throwing scraps to a beggar, huh!
Where the hell are my Attribute Points? Did you eat them?!
Bullshit!
He was so angry that he kept pacing around the Cultivation Room, like a beast trapped in a cage, furious to the point of nearly bursting out to drag Lord Hu over for a beating to vent his anger!
Attribute Points, for just a 10% progression and a 1% increase in Strength output, this deal is way too crappy!
...
In the office, Zhang Ming, looking at Chu Feng on the monitor, suddenly bursting with rage for no apparent reason, was completely baffled.
Are the young people nowadays all this explosive?
Can’t they just meditate and cultivate quietly without blowing their top?
... I really don’t get it!
...
After pacing for a long while, Chu Feng finally stopped and plunked back down on the Meditation Cushion, taking a deep breath.
Feeling depressed is of no use, getting angry is the most pointless thing; with that time, it’d be better to cultivate.
Though the expense of leveling up a Self-created Martial Skill seemed like a scam, downright exorbitant.
But after thinking it over, Chu Feng had to admit, it made some sense that a Mid-level Human Rank Ultimate Skill could only improve the progression by 10%.
First of all, the difference in rank between "Demon-Breaking" and "Asura Finger" was too vast, a whole major grade apart.
The Martial Arts insights of a Mid-level Human Rank in the face of profound Upper Earth Grade Martial Techniques are understandably unimpressive.
Chu Feng believed that if it were an Earth Rank Ultimate Skill, it would have greatly boosted "Demon-Breaking", surely more than a measly 10%.
... But just at the thought of this, Chu Feng felt like cursing again.
Those aren’t some common Martial Techniques that everyone has a copy of, the cheap stuff.
It’s a rare and precious Ultimate Skill, something that could serve as a trump card!
With every minor grade increase, the price skyrockets exponentially!
Where the hell am I supposed to fetch so many Earth Rank Ultimate Skills to feed this money pit, "Demon-Breaking"?
Exchanging for one copy of the Mid-level Human Rank "Asura Finger" had cost Chu Feng a whole 800 Points, tens of times more expensive than Martial Techniques of the same rank.
Converted to Longhua Currency, that’s a full 8 million!
Among the fifteen Ultimate Skills he brought this time, not a single one was above Earth Rank; they were all of the Human Rank.
Even so, it nearly cost him a third of his entire fortune.
Aside from the three he got from Lu Lin’s personal collection without spending a cent, the remaining twelve in total cost him nearly ten thousand Points and military merits.
An expenditure upward of a hundred million Longhua Currency!
...
Furthermore, Chu Feng speculated, the mere 10% increase in Progression Level was probably due to the law of diminishing marginal returns.
Simply put, the higher the rank of the Self-created Martial Skill, the more difficult it is to improve.
Initially, in his pursuit of strength, he chose the Upper Grade Earth Rank Ultimate Skill "Explosive Fist" as a blueprint; hence, the difficulty in leveling up.
Of course, this wasn’t a mistake—he wouldn’t even consider Ultimate Skills of a lower rank.
...
After a brief pause, Chu Feng hesitated for a moment and then didn’t continue "feeding" it.
Although the remaining 57 Attribute Points were enough for him to max out an Ultimate Skill below Mid-level Human Rank and merge it into "Demon-Breaking".
But in the situation where Attribute Points were tight, spending so many to exchange for a mere 1% increase in the limit of Strength output wasn’t very rational.
’Better save them to replenish my Health Potion, just in case.’
Chu Feng got up, walked out of the Cultivation Room, and thought to himself quietly.
