Arc Light's First Layer, triple force, mastered!
Li Jing could hardly wait to study his two newly acquired secret techniques, Arc Light and Instant Radiance.
He possessed Junior Blade Technique Talent and Junior Movement Technique Talent, and his comprehension had also improved to a certain extent, even though he was currently only at Apprentice Level 8.
Studying these two first-tier secret techniques used by Planetary Level warriors was not difficult for him; he even handled them with some ease.
So that's how it works!
They got it wrong!
Nine-Layered Thunder Blade got several crucial points wrong!
Arc Light really is worthy of being a secret technique that has stood the test of time in the universe and is still practiced by so many people!
Even if it's just a common first-tier secret technique, its principles of exerting force are far superior to those of Nine-Layered Thunder Blade, the strongest force-exertion manual on Earth!
The first-tier movement technique Instant Radiance is the same. If I use Instant Radiance with my minor attainment in Artistic Conception Level movement technique, its evasive effect will be several times greater than that of the movement technique included with Nine-Layered Thunder Blade!
The more Li Jing studied, the brighter his eyes grew.
If he could fully master both Arc Light and Instant Radiance, his strength would rise several levels beyond its current state!
With his current talent, it would not take too long.
Even if his realm remained at Apprentice Level 8, that of an Intermediate War God, he would need only a few years to master them completely.
If his realm rose to the Planetary Level corresponding to first-tier secret techniques, two or three months might be enough.
Of course, that calculation assumed Li Jing did not use the Card Draw System.
With the Card Draw System's help, continuously imparting experience in cultivating the secret techniques and improving his aptitude and comprehension,
the time he needed to master Arc Light and Instant Radiance would be shortened even further!
Continually turning over the key points of the first layer of the Arc Light manual in his mind, Li Jing drew Tiger Thorn, his newly acquired first-tier Origin Force war blade.
He practiced the blade technique recorded in the first layer as an aid to cultivation, seeking that profound and elusive sensation needed to master the first layer's triple force.
After an unknown length of time, Li Jing's blade-wielding figure in the training room suddenly paused, then swung his blade forward in a seemingly unremarkable strike.
At that moment, the cells throughout his body worked together to exert force.
The terrifying force compressed the air in front of Tiger Thorn's edge to an extreme, sending a sharp blade of air slashing into the training room wall.
A cut half a meter long and more than ten centimeters deep was carved into the specially made alloy wall.
Arc Light's first layer, triple force, mastered!
With triple force augmenting Li Jing's base strength, he had already reached the peak level of a basic High-level War God using single force!
The compressed air in front of the blade alone had such power; it was not hard to imagine what would happen if the blade itself landed.
Having mastered the first layer of Arc Light, Li Jing looked at the gash in the alloy wall, a trace of delight flashing through his eyes.
He had the foundation of the 2.8-fold force provided by the first three layers of Nine-Layered Thunder Blade, as well as the help of his Junior Blade Technique Talent.
To have mastered the first layer of Arc Light on the very first day he obtained the manual was a small surprise!
Now that he had triple force, his level of force exertion was no longer among the weakest of the Intermediate War Gods at the same realm; it was about average.
After practicing Arc Light for a while, Li Jing began practicing Instant Radiance.
After an unknown length of time, he finally grew accustomed to it and became proficient.
However, because his foundation in movement techniques was not as deep as his foundation in blade techniques, he did not make an immediate breakthrough.
But by Li Jing's estimate, he would be able to finish cultivating the first layer in a few days.
Cultivating two major first-tier secret techniques in succession with Apprentice Level strength had also consumed a considerable amount of Li Jing's stamina.
The cells throughout my body are hungry and active right now. This is the best time to absorb cosmic energy!
Ignoring the fatigue coming from deep within his body, Li Jing sat down cross-legged, assumed the posture of the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method, and began absorbing the cosmic energy that was everywhere in the air.
An hour later, his body's cells were saturated, and only then did Li Jing end his cultivation and stand.
The Seventh-Class Bloodline, which allows one to naturally reach Intermediate War General upon reaching adulthood, truly is extraordinary. The speed, efficiency, and even the total amount of cosmic energy I absorb have all improved greatly compared with before!
In just one cultivation session, my punching strength increased by a full 300 kilograms.
At this rate, a year of cultivation would increase my punching strength by over 100,000 kilograms.
And the physical threshold for a High-level War God is 256,000 kilograms.
It's no exaggeration that a Cosmic Human with a Seventh-Class Bloodline can reach the level of a High-level War God, an exceptional talent among Earthlings, with just a little cultivation.
Reaching the Planetary Level isn't difficult; the Star Level is the real hurdle!
Feeling the drastic change in his cultivation speed, Li Jing could not help but reflect.
I'll wash up and rest for the night, then sell off the equipment and materials I drew from cards but can't use tomorrow.
After that, I'll head to the Wilderness Zone to hunt Lord-level Monsters.
I'll earn more Huaxia Currency and draw the card pool's only limited UR, peak Apprentice Level Spirit Reader talent, the same as Luo Feng's, all in one go!
My warrior strength has already reached Apprentice Level 8. If I still haven't drawn Spirit Reader talent, there's no excuse for it!
Li Jing thought to himself again, then headed for the bathroom.
He had spent six days fighting in the Wilderness Zone, where there had been no opportunity to wash.
After leaving the Wilderness Zone, he had been too eager to process the monster materials and draw cards.
As a result, Li Jing still had some blood and grime from his battles in the Wilderness Zone on him, as well as the foul-smelling sweat he had accumulated over the past few days.
If he had not been wearing a warrior's combat suit, he would have looked just like a savage who ate his meat raw and drank blood.
Luckily, he lived alone. Otherwise, the moment he returned to the villa, he would have been pushed into the bathroom to take care of his personal hygiene.
He took a thoroughly satisfying hot shower, used Tiger Thorn to shave off the stubble he had grown, and gave himself a clean, neat haircut while he was at it.
Looking forward to his next trip to the Wilderness Zone and longing for the current card pool's only limited golden UR card, Li Jing fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
In Mingyue Residential Area, Wu Tong returned from Warrior Supply Base No. 004 not long after Li Jing had come back.
After all, he had not really gone with Zhang Jian to visit a supposed friend in the Military. That was merely an excuse he had offered offhand to spare both sides embarrassment.
Now back at his own villa, an excited Wu Tong called his direct superior, Supervisor Zhuge Tao, one of the four leading figures of the Limits Dojo in Jiangnan Base City.
"Hello, Old Wu. What are you calling me about so late?"
Zhuge Tao, on the other end of the line, did not put on any airs as his superior.
Wu Tong was a longtime member of the Limits Dojo. The two were old acquaintances to begin with, and later had more dealings because of Luo Feng, so their relationship was naturally good.
"Supervisor Zhuge, Li Jing has been found!" Wu Tong said excitedly to Zhuge Tao.
"Oh, he's been found? Then give him a good talking-to. Tell him to rein himself in and not be so reckless in the future."
"He won't be lucky enough to return safely every time!"
Zhuge Tao had been deeply impressed by the genius Li Jing and had thought another little Luo Feng was about to appear.
But Li Jing's subsequent decision to go to the Wilderness Zone alone had caused Zhuge Tao's assessment of him to plummet.
No matter how great a person's talent was, without a sense of awe for the Wilderness Zone, sooner or later he would die along the way before he could realize that talent.
Hearing that Li Jing had survived, Zhuge Tao showed little joy and merely spoke offhandedly.
Seeing Zhuge Tao's attitude, Wu Tong's tone grew even more excited.
He hurriedly poured out everything he had seen and heard about Li Jing on this trip to Warrior Supply Base No. 004, including Li Jing's strength as an Intermediate War General.
