Master Changsheng

Chapter 214, Section 211: Two Talents

This is the first time Ankai has seen a spell learning prompt through the system that does not belong to the [Mage] class!

【Abyss Body Forging Technique】Just by looking at the name, you can understand that this is a technique for cultivating the body.

Having just experienced a battle with goblins, Ankai confirmed that the goblins here were the same goblins he encountered in the game in his previous life.

He also lacks the talent of a mage.

They only cultivate the physical body.

Ankai has no shortage of Goblin Cores.

In a great battle, at least 800,000,000 goblins died outside.

The Goblin Core is located inside their bellies; it's a green crystal the size of a finger.

He took out a [Goblin Core] from his storage ring and placed it in his hand.

A strong aura of the "Abyss of Wealth" is emanating from it.

Ankai had smelled a similar scent elsewhere...

—An immortal species!

That's right, he had sensed a similar aura from the immortal beings.

According to the explanation of the immortal species, this is the "aura of immortality"...

Returning to his senses, Ankai looked at Reed and the other three kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear.

According to the casualty report Wayne gave him, the number of Good House survivors killed in this operation reached 10243!

Eighty percent of them were orcs.

These creatures are all professionals enhanced by Ankai using the [Strengthening/Forging Mystic Realm].

Each and every one of them is a vital force in today's Good Family.

Of course, Ankai knew that too.

The reason why the losses were so great this time had little to do with Reed's status as "commander".

More importantly, the goblins evaded the detection of the Good House creatures and the detectors.

Ankai had already noticed this when he first encountered the goblins.

In his perception, goblins were weak.

Even a first-tier professional's sensory feedback to Ankai was much stronger than that of a goblin.

In Ankai's perception, goblins were like ants; unless they were standing right in front of him, it would be difficult for him to pay special attention to such insignificant creatures as goblins…

Ankai was not sure of the reason at the moment, after all, this was his first time encountering goblins.

He glanced again at the four people kneeling on the ground, wanting to say something, but in the end it turned into a soft sigh.

With a wave of his hand, Reed and his three companions left in despair.

They would rather Ankai scold them than be like this.

Scolding them shows they still have a chance.

An Kai let them leave without saying a word, without punishment or scolding...

Reed and the other three weren't fools; they understood that this was only happening because they were so disappointed in the four of them.

Especially for Polpi, who had expected to climb steadily, the disappointment on his face was self-evident.

The four of them left, and as they walked out of the castle, none of them knew what they were feeling.

At this moment, their resentment towards goblins reached its peak.

Along with that, there's also the resentment towards Andaoen, the fat guy from the Good House Blacksmith Association...

If it weren't for...

If his attribute detector hadn't malfunctioned, how could they have failed to detect the goblin's ambush...?

...

Inner City, Forging Guild.

The fat man, Andoun, had wrinkles on his face that resembled the bark of an old tree.

His face was full of sorrow.

He witnessed firsthand the failure of the property detector he had developed…

The Good Family's first trip to another world ended in devastation!

At this time, in order to make up for the loss, Andoron spared no effort in developing a new type of detector.

In just one hour, he consumed 143 severely wounded goblins in the process of developing the detector…

From head to toe, Andorn painstakingly dissected the goblin's body, bit by bit, in order to develop a new type of detector…

Every goblin who falls to Andorn dies with its eyes bulging out, taking up a third of its face, and covered in bloodshot veins.

And Andon, because of his research and development of a new type of detector, had his body stained green by the blood of dark green goblins…

Everyone who had worked with Ankai, including Andoun, knew one thing.

Ankai doesn't want "useless" people around him.

Once your role no longer benefits Ankai, you will be eliminated.

This is a consensus among everyone who has worked alongside Ankai.

The reason they were so desperate to stay by An Kai's side was that their strength could improve rapidly by following An Kai's lead.

Second, ...privileges!

"Damn it! If I lose my position as guild leader because of you bunch of scum, I'll tear you all to pieces!"

"I swear!"

The obese man, Andor, seemed to have gone mad, holding a blade the size of his finger, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace as he stared at the heavily wounded goblin before him…

The green-skinned dwarf goblin trembled with fear at Andorn's posture, and within moments, a wet patch appeared between his legs...

Andoun wouldn't care about any of that.

Hands flying everywhere...

A hissing sound kept ringing out.

The blade made a piercing sound as it touched the rough goblin skin…

The Good House Forging Association has three floors.

The second and third floors are both Andoron's territory.

On the first floor, many members of the Good House Forging Association gathered.

They looked towards the staircase leading to the second floor, and hearing the goblin roars coming from above, their bodies instinctively trembled...

"The president's condition is...it's a bit scary!"

"Quiet down. The president has no choice. I heard our first attempt there... ended in failure!"

"Wh...what?!"

...

The number of people lost at Liangshan Home this time reached more than 1.

The harvest was decent, which was some consolation for An Kai.

The Abyss Body Forging Method is just one unimportant point.

Low-grade energy stones, mid-grade energy stones, and high-grade energy stones dug out from goblin nests were exchanged for a total of high-grade skill points. Ankai obtained a total of [315] high-grade skill points!

At the same time, Ankai also obtained [6] Tier 9 Goblin Cores!

Like the ninth-tier dragon core, it can replace the [top-grade energy stone] required for Ankai's spell levels!

The personnel losses were significant, but the profits were equally substantial.

The amount of resources gained from this single killing was comparable to what Ankai had accumulated over the previous decades.

If personnel losses are reduced, the [Abyss of Wealth] will be the foundation for Ankai's rapid increase in strength.

night.

A huge castle.

Only Ankai was there.

Tonight, he did not summon the elven maidens.

Inside Ankai's room, there was a 1000-square-meter magic stone bed with 1,000 [Goblin Cores] placed on it.

A dense abyssal aura enveloped the castle.

Holding the [Abyss Body Forging Technique], An Kai checked the system prompt again. It only required 1000 [Goblin Cores]. With a thought, he made a decision.

[Use 1000 Goblin Cores.]

[Learn the Abyss Body Tempering Method for Success.]

[Abyss Body Tempering Technique Lv1『∞/∞』: Strengthens the body and masters techniques.]

[Tip: You can use 'Goblin Core', 'Abyssal Aura Manifestation Core', etc., to enhance 'Body Strengthening' or 'Power Generation Techniques'.]

A system notification appeared.

This startled An Kai.

He actually encountered something that happened to someone of the same level as him.

However, [Lv1] is already the maximum level...

Upon closer examination, the [Abyss Body Tempering Technique] provides Ankai with two paths for growth.

One is [Body Strengthening], and the other is [Mastering Skills].

You can choose one of the two paths, or you can choose both of them.

Undoubtedly, Ankai will pursue both paths simultaneously.

[Body Enhancement] uses Ankai's own [Qi and Blood] power to continuously forge his body, making it stronger and more powerful.

Mastering the techniques of generating power means exerting maximum force with minimal effort; the essence lies in "overpowering all techniques with sheer force!"

An Kai has always been physically strong.

With balanced stat allocation, even though his class is [Mage], he possesses a physique stronger than classes like [Warrior]!

However, without the support of suitable magic, An Kai had great strength but no opportunity to use it.

Over the years, Ankai has tried various professions that rely on physical combat, such as Warrior, Assassin, and Knight, but without exception, none of them have become his new profession.

The only secondary profession, "Blacksmith," only taught Ankai how to strike a hammer; it didn't teach him any techniques for strengthening his body.

At this moment, the appearance of the [Abyss Body Tempering Technique] solved Ankai's problem!

This will also allow his body, this "treasure trove," to be put to good use!

Through the system, An Kai checked the resources required for each upgrade of [Body Enhancement] and [Mastering Power Generation Techniques]...

The minimum required for body enhancement is: 1000 'Goblin Cores' and 'Abyss Aura Manifestation Cores'.

The highest value is: 100,000 'Goblin Cores, Abyss Aura Manifestation Cores'.

[Mastering the power-generating technique requires a minimum of 1000 'Goblin Cores and Abyss Aura Manifestation Cores']

The highest value is: 100,000 'Goblin Cores, Abyss Aura Manifestation Cores'.

Two system prompts appeared in succession.

The minimum requirement is 1000 Goblin Cores, while the maximum requirement is 10 Goblin Cores.

According to the system explanation, the two effects of the [Abyss Body Tempering Method] can only be improved once per stage.

In other words, if Ankai chooses to upgrade with 1000 'Goblin Cores', he will have no way to make up for it later.

This is like laying a foundation.

The resources consumed from the very beginning determine the upper and lower limits.

For An Kai, any cultivation method he chooses will undoubtedly be the best.

Through the [Contract], notify Wayne to deliver 20 [Goblin Cores].

Half an hour later.

20 Goblin Cores were delivered by Wayne.

Without hesitation, An Kai waved his hand and chose the first upgrade!

[Body Enhancement] is upgraded to [Body Enhancement I].

[Mastering Power Generation Techniques] is upgraded to [Mastering Power Generation Techniques I].

An aura identical to that of the [Abyss of Wealth] emanated from An Kai's body!

[Hint: Due to Body Enhancement I, the talent "Iron Body" has been obtained]

[Hint: By mastering Power Generation Technique I, you gained the talent: 'Microscopic Insight']

"Iron Body" is exactly what it sounds like. An Kai flicked his arm, making a metallic clanging sound.

This is also a benefit of Ankai using the highest resources to enhance [Body Strengthening].

【Perfection of the Microscopic】This allows An Kai to have a very clear control over his own strength.

Now, he only needs seven-tenths of his strength to achieve the same effect as he used to have ten-tenths of his strength!

This greatly enhances An Kai's physical strength!

In terms of overall strength, this improvement can only be considered acceptable.

However, [Body Enhancement I] and [Mastering Power Generation Techniques I] can still be improved!

There's no limit to improvement, as long as you have enough resources!

Ankai sensed the two effects again.

The minimum required for body enhancement is: 100,000 'Goblin Cores' and 'Abyss Aura Manifestation Cores'.

The highest price is: one million 'Goblin Cores, Abyss Aura Manifestation Cores'.

Mastering the techniques of generating power...
