With Hundred Points Three Dimensions and Thousand Points Ability, I Feel Invincible Under Heaven!
"Finished grinding... So what time is it now?" Lu Xingshi walked out of the Jade Library in a daze, unable to quite process it.
He looked at the long row of 1000-point ability values on his panel. Naturally, he had not earned them through arduous training—they had been modified.
For the cost of one million Gold Coins, he could modify an ability value from 100 to 1000. Compared to modifying his primary attributes, altering ability values was far less taxing. He could modify around five a day, perhaps because he possessed the two Innate Traits, Self-Healing Physique and Abundant Qi and Blood, on top of having maxed out his three dimensions.
After modifying eight traits, Lu Xingshi had gradually raised his Physical Constitution, Comprehension, and Mental Fortitude to 100 points. It took four days in total: he modified his Physical Constitution over the first two days, then modified his Comprehension and Mental Fortitude in batches over the next two.
After reaching 100 points, the final Attribute Trait was unlocked as well.
Of the three traits, the Physical Constitution trait directly stacked attributes and boosted effects. Cultivation techniques only received a doubled increase, but ability effects, combined with the Intelligent Heart and Wise Nature from his Comprehension, received an additional 1.5 times effect. He was now at the full value of 1000 points, but the actual effect he could exert was equivalent to 2500 points.
As for the hundredfold proficiency experience, that was somewhat underwhelming. Lu Xingshi mostly learned things outright, but with the hundredfold proficiency experience now, he could save some effort later on.
The strongest was still the final effect: increased Health Points and Inner Force. He had originally possessed 6500% Health Points, but now it had directly risen to 20,000%. Peerless Genius truly lived up to its name as a BOSS Template.
The Comprehension trait was somewhat useful too. In the future, he only needed cultivation techniques of the same type to drive the progress of others. For example, right now, if he directly cultivated the "Longevity Eternal Youth True Art," then the "Eternal Youth Longevity Art" and the "Longevity Spring Return Art" would also gain half the proficiency.
It looked like half, but the proficiency quality of the "Longevity Eternal Youth True Art" was higher than those two techniques, so it naturally required more proficiency.
Thus, compared to the Physical Constitution trait, this Comprehension trait was indeed somewhat lacking. If he did not possess the Innate Trait Peerless Genius and could not modify things, it would truly be a godly skill. He could use high-quality martial arts to elevate low-quality ones and thereby grind attributes. Now, though, it was rather lackluster.
What Lu Xingshi understood the least was the Mental Fortitude trait. Cultivating Internal Energy and External Energy simultaneously would not cause conflicts. There were no numerical values, nor were there any restrictions. It was very vague.
Yet when he opened the code data for the three Attribute Traits, this one was the most complex.
At first, he truly could not understand what it meant. But through experimentation, he quickly discovered how to use this trait.
There were two key points: simultaneous cultivation, and no conflicts.
Under normal circumstances, due to the limitations of his Martial Arts Character, he could only cultivate one technique at a time. But now, he could cultivate two, and they could even be completely opposing techniques.
Internal Energy was mostly based on stillness; he could not move around carelessly. External Energy, on the other hand, involved movement—Fist and Foot Techniques, weapons, and the like—and naturally focused on tempering the body.
If Internal Energy and External Energy were cultivated at the same time, even if he did not suffer qi deviation and grievous injury, his Inner Force would still become chaotic and damage his heart meridians.
Now, he no longer had to worry about that problem.
Then there was the absence of conflict, which freed him from the rigid rules of cultivating techniques. He could cultivate while walking, standing, sitting, or lying down.
It was not automatic idle leveling, though. It simply meant he could multitask.
With his current Comprehension and Mental Fortitude, this was no difficult feat.
Combined with Innate Traits like Self-Taught and Drawing on the Strengths of Many, it allowed him to grind up a massive number of attributes.
He now suspected that he was already Number One Under Heaven.
However, since he had yet to make a name for himself, the achievement of Number One Under Heaven had not been completed.
Number One Under Heaven was fought for, not spoken into existence.
Speaking of achievements, he had also completed quite a few hidden achievements, such as Learned in All Schools of Thought, Well-Read, and other book-related ones. He had obtained several Acquired Traits as well.
For instance, traits like Photographic Memory and intense concentration. Such Acquired Traits were practically useless to someone with 100 points of Comprehension. He had already possessed such abilities when his Comprehension was at 10 points. Now that they were stacked again, it was not as if they were utterly useless—they did have quite a few benefits.
"Oh, it's already been two months." Lu Xingshi checked how many Gold Coins he had.
He could currently earn around one hundred thousand Gold Coins a day. He had gained more than six million Gold Coins, so two months had passed.
There had been no distinction between day and night in the management game before, and he had never paid attention to the deduction of Gold Coins. Only after coming to this Martial Arts World did he gain an accurate sense of time.
"Fuck, doesn't that mean my master hasn't returned for three and a half months???" Lu Xingshi suddenly realized. Three and a half months ago, Murong Xuan had said that if he did not return in three months, Lu Xingshi was to become the master of Langya Pavilion. Thinking about it now... could he have died?
"Don't die on me. I haven't even repaid your kindness yet."
Lu Xingshi's face turned green. He had been so absorbed in reading books to grind ability values and cultivation techniques that he had completely lost track of time. After spending so many years in the management game without any real concept of time, once he got carried away, he simply forgot.
He did not need to eat, drink, relieve himself, or sleep, so he could grind books twenty-four hours a day without ever noticing.
By the time he finished and came out, he was already half a month overdue.
"No, I need to go look for him. If he's alive, I'll see him; if he's dead, I'll find the body!" Lu Xingshi felt that he was already invincible under heaven. It was not right to keep hiding away like this.
He was no longer the person he had been before. If he encountered a Bearman again, one slap would guarantee it turned into a red panda.
"But before going out, I need to make preparations."
Lu Xingshi looked at his forging, mechanisms, alchemy, poison arts, and other abilities, all at a staggering 1000 points yet capable of producing the effects of 2500 points.
Then he recalled the techniques related to Bird Guns, Cannons, and the like that Linglang Pavilion had collected. He felt there was potential there.
He was strong, true, but if he could crush others with Heat Weapons, why would he need to do it himself? With his 100 points of Comprehension, recreating the Heat Weapons from his previous life might prove difficult due to materials, chemistry, physics, and other fields of study. But creating something capable of wreaking havoc throughout a Low Martial world certainly would not be much of a problem.
