23 points 17 Defeating Lan Xinghe yields 18 points, while thirteen Iron Boat Gang subordinates yield three; Lin Xiao then spends all 23 on Flying Heaven Steps.

11 points remaining 25 Lin Xiao spends 125 points to complete the Yang Sha Scripture and Yin Sha Scripture.
44 points 27 Eliminating nearly one hundred bandits at Funiu Village yields 33 points; he spends 42 points to raise Flying Heaven Steps to the sixth level.
104 points 28 The destruction of Black Cloud Village and refinement of its medicinal stores raise his total above 100; the medicines alone provide 56 points.
74 points remaining 29 After spending 30 points to complete Flying Heaven Steps, Lin Xiao retains 74 points before using 50 to fuse his Yin and Yang internal energies.

History

Potential Points first manifest when Lin Xiao's Attribute Panel opens during the Great River Gang's elimination test. The activation restores his physical strength and displays a starting balance of seven points, immediately revealing the panel as a means of rapidly raising cultivation and martial arts. 3

For three months, Lin Xiao cannot identify their source. Eating, training, showing off, provoking others, theft, and hostility all fail to generate points. 6 Killing Yang Sha resolves the mystery: points are awarded for defeating suitably strong opponents, while rare medicinal treasures can also be refined into points. 14

The resource becomes the basis of Lin Xiao's growth strategy. He seeks battles against martial artists and bandits rather than weak targets, supplements combat rewards with medicinal ingredients, and eventually uses the Thousand-Year Snow Ginseng to finance large-scale cultivation upgrades and technique deductions. 17 24 28 41 44

Mechanics

Acquisition

Potential Points are obtained through meaningful victories and the refinement of valuable natural treasures.

  • Defeating opponents whose strength is not significantly below Lin Xiao's can yield points; stronger opponents provide larger rewards. Yang Sha yields 22 points, while Lan Xinghe yields 18. 14 17
  • Low-level opponents provide very little, and their value declines as Lin Xiao grows stronger. Thirteen Iron Boat Gang subordinates collectively yield only three points. 17
  • Ordinary civilians provide no points, even if killed in enormous numbers. 14
  • Rare medicinal resources can be refined into points, including hundred-year ginseng, Great River Gang medicinal herbs, and the Thousand-Year Snow Ginseng. 14 24 41 44
  • The Thousand-Year Snow Ginseng is exceptionally valuable: its roots increase the balance by roughly one point every two to three seconds during refinement. 41

Technique Enhancement

Points can directly advance learned martial arts and internal-energy methods.

  • Spending points produces accumulated combat insight through visions of repeated practice, then integrates that experience into Lin Xiao's body and muscle memory. 15 47
  • Advancement costs vary by the technique's type, total number of layers, and Lin Xiao's existing proficiency rather than grade alone. 15 25
  • Natural practice reduces the number of points needed for a breakthrough when Lin Xiao is already near the next level. 15
  • Internal-energy upgrades require adaptation time for Lin Xiao's meridians; the waiting period grows with later breakthroughs. 25
  • Points allow Lin Xiao to learn numerous disciplines without the usual drawback of spreading his training across too many techniques. 17

Fusion and Deduction

Potential Points can alter existing power systems rather than merely increase levels.

  • Lin Xiao spends 50 points to fuse 120 years of Yang Sha internal energy and 100 years of Yin Sha internal energy into 220 years of balanced Primordial Chaos Internal Energy. 29
  • Deducing a new cultivation method requires combining existing methods and continually investing points; an unsuccessful attempt would not refund the expenditure. 29
  • The Primordial Chaos Divine Art is deduced from the Yang Sha Scripture, Yin Sha Scripture, and Three Rivers Heart Method for 125 points. 45
  • Swift Saber is deduced by integrating four saber techniques for 67 points. 47
  • Adamantine Hand is formed by combining fist, palm, and claw techniques; its deduction costs 225 points. 48

Notable Uses

  • Three Rivers Saber — Raised to the first level for one point shortly after Lin Xiao learns it. 5
  • Three saber techniques — Three Rivers Saber, Dark Cloud Saber, and Riptide Saber Technique are all brought to Great Accomplishment for a combined 17 points. 15
  • Flying Heaven Steps — Advanced from its initial stage to the fourth level using 7 points and later 23 points, then to the sixth level with 42 points and finally to mastery for 30 points. 15 17 27 28
  • Yang Sha and Yin Sha Scriptures — Completed for a combined 125 points, giving Lin Xiao 220 years of internal energy before fusion. 25
  • Three Rivers Heart Method — Raised to eighth-level Grand Completion for 39 points before its use in the Primordial Chaos Divine Art deduction. 45
  • Eagle Claw Technique — Its final level is completed with more than 20 points after seven months of manual cultivation. 47
  • Destiny Points — A separate golden “Destiny” entry appears beneath Potential Points after Lin Xiao refines the Thousand-Year Snow Ginseng. Unlike Potential Points, a Destiny Point can grant world-level luck or push a technique beyond the world's normal limit. 44
