Select Infusion: The End of Skill

Sorry, due to unforeseen circumstances, my wife is sick, my mother went back to her hometown, and I'm taking care of the child alone. I really don't have time today.

I just managed to sneak a moment to write this after putting the child to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow to take him to daycare, so I can only post two updates today.

Chapter 128 More money is needed!

[You have spent 1000 points and 1 Time Coins to exchange for 6 months of skill infusion.]

[You begin to cultivate the ultimate skill]

In the first month, you feel like you've reached a bottleneck, and you begin practicing techniques while simultaneously thinking about how to break through it.

In the second month, the experiences of several battles replayed before your eyes, and you sighed deeply, realizing that what had been troubling you was the lack of real combat experience.

[In the third month, after continuous practice, you finally broke through.]

[In the sixth month, auspicious signs appear, and you will feel as if divinely aided during your cultivation, progressing extremely rapidly, with your skill's proficiency increasing by 20%!]

[Results of this infusion: Slight progress at Technique Limit LV3 (34%)]

Li Xia slowly opened his eyes, his mind still seemingly filled with the image of himself sitting cross-legged, getting up and practicing boxing.

A myriad of insights, stemming from the ultimate mastery of skill, surged within me.

Looking at the results of the infusion, Li Xia nodded.

It's alright. Ever since being awakened by Aowu, he has inexplicably developed a sense of awe for the ultimate skill.

The ultimate technique appears to be a fusion of eight different martial arts styles, but in reality, these eight martial arts styles can encompass the complete and extended techniques of each style.

Therefore, this is actually a collection of the hard work of all the predecessors in China who have focused on the art of martial arts over thousands of years.

It can't even quantify the specific halls; it can only hint at them with names and descriptions, and can only provide a panel showing the upper limit of force and strength.

Ultimate Skill LV3:

效果1：在战斗时提升20-70%发力上限，20-50%闪避。

效果2：在战斗时有30%的几率触发劲，使本次攻击伤害阶位+1，本次伤害提高30%-50%

continue!

[You begin your training as a master archer]

[In the first month, you draw your bow 600 times a day, firing 6000 bullets.]

In the second month, you drew your bow 600 times a day, firing 6000 bullets.

You have triggered a flash of inspiration.

You have triggered the special state - Flow.

[In December, you draw your bow 600 times a day, firing 6000 bullets. Even if you are physically healthy, you are extremely mentally exhausted.]

[Result of this infusion: Sharpshooter LV4 Mastery (20%)]

I glanced at the skill panel and saw that in addition to the original effects being enhanced, there was also an additional attribute.

Perhaps LV3 is the same as Tier 3? What will be different after breaking through?

[Effect 1: Ranged weapon handling is increased by 80%, accuracy by 80%, and firing rate by 80%]

[Effect 2: Increases your perception by 40% by improving your sensitivity to wind direction and your ability to judge distance]

[Effect 3: Ranged weapon handling +3]

[Effect 4: Can imbue arrows with True Qi, up to a maximum of 10 points each time, increasing arrow flight speed by 40% and adding additional True Qi damage]

Li Xia pondered this effect for a while. This effect four basically made up for the problem of insufficient arrow damage.

Ranged archers primarily rely on continuous attacks to deal damage, using their bows mainly as a supplement to their ranged attacks.

There's not much to say about the final infusion of the Flying Technique.

This skill is indeed very simple; one infusion directly pushes you to LV4.

As expected, an additional effect 3 was added.

[Flying Technique] LV4 Mastery (0%)

[Skill Type: Skill-based/Support-based Active Ability]

[Skill Cost: Cost varies depending on gravity; under normal gravity, it consumes 4 points of True Qi per minute]

[Effect 1: Can counteract gravity to achieve levitation and hovering postures, with a flexibility of 40% (the closer to 100%, the closer it is to a ground-based posture)]

[Effect 2: Consumes 1 point of True Qi to accelerate in any direction, up to a maximum of 10 points]

[Effect 3: Allows for a full-power burst of energy, consuming 100 points of True Qi, for a short period of rapid flight]

[Summary: Like the ability to fly and dance in the air, you still need to keep working hard if you want to dance in the air.]

There's not much to say about improving the final fixed skills.

The only drawback is that the Sealing and Hole Wave skills consume a lot of resources. Sealing requires 1000 points to upgrade one level, while Hole Wave requires 600 points.

The little over ten thousand I have isn't enough.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xia contacted Lei Sen directly and sent him a message.

"Could you ask the guild that buys Black Arrows how much hush money they charge for a fixed Black Arrow production?"

Keeping it a secret is fine, but you'll have to pay extra!

It has to be said that the service industry is incredibly efficient; Leisen replied almost instantly.

"Sir, I can create a group chat so you can talk to the people there. However, I estimate the price won't be too high; their willingness to pay is a sign of respect."

This means their strength has been recognized; those ordinary apostles would really dare to hunt them down and silence them.

Edward, a second-tier Freemason, has joined the chat.

[Leisen: You two chat, I'll mute you for now]

Without wasting words, Li Xia recalled the key points of the judgment made by the Hall of Light and sent a message directly.

[Summer: 1. Hidden Human Faction]

At the Freemasonry headquarters, Edward frowned and slowly deleted his polite words.

So direct?

He looked at the text Li Xia had sent and replied again:

Edward: 2000 points

[Xia: Relationship with Bard is more than cold]

Edward remained expressionless, only raising the price slightly.

【3000 points】

[Summer: Learning about Bard's background]

Edward's eyebrows began to rise.

[5000 points!]

[Summer: The Story of the River Valley, Classics, Long Lake]

Edward's expression finally changed; he had previously thought that Li Xia had only stumbled upon a clue by chance.

The black arrow that drops after killing Bard.

Then they'll try to bribe me; I've seen this kind of thing happen several times already.

This wasn't the first time Bard had been killed, nor was it the first time he had fallen victim to a black arrow.

Unexpectedly, someone actually managed to figure out the production process of Black Arrows in the world of war.

Black Arrows spawn randomly in Long Lake and are extremely difficult to find.

Edward never imagined that anyone could touch the Black Arrow directly in the water.

You have received 2 Hall Points.

The Freemasons were generous, and Li Xia happily reopened the skill upgrade panel.

Give them a piece of their mind!

[Ban/Disabled Rank has been raised to 15]

[Skill Cost: 10 + 7% of Life Energy (Ki, Chakra, Mana, Potion, etc.)]

[Effect 1: Creates a 30-meter radius barrier centered on the user's feet, preventing escape using spatial abilities.]

[Effect 2: Banning speed increased by 10%]

[Dongdong Wave has been upgraded to rank 15]

[Skill Cost: 10 True Qi - ? ? ?]

【Effect 1: Each point of Qi deals 44.5 points of energy damage. The amount of Qi can be freely selected, with a minimum consumption of 10 points. It inflicts various types of damage on enemies, including piercing and burning.】

[Effect 2: Increases activation speed by 10%]

[Attack Strength: 3-5] (Energy attacks have no rank restriction)

He shook his head; the significant skill upgrades had left him feeling mentally exhausted.

My mind was a little hazy, and I returned to my room with a howl. The stillness of the night was still slowly merging with the specks of light.

Li Xia yawned, crawled into bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 129 Muscles and Bones Resound, Tigers and Leopards Roar

I slept for more than ten hours straight.

After taking a refreshing hot shower, Li Xia checked Ye Ji's fusion progress, feeling much better.

It's not even halfway there yet; it will still take more than twenty hours.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xia simply summoned the hall and returned to the real world to use the Time Chamber to improve his Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

There is no fixed order for stopping at the halls.

As long as you stay in the real world for 7 days, you can come back whenever you want and leave whenever you want.

A one-star executioner can have their days extended for free by 3 days.

It was still that familiar mountain peak, and every blade of grass, every tree, every stone, and every clod of earth around it looked exactly the same as when I last came here.

Li Xia sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff. This place seemed like a pure land for cultivation outside the mortal world, and he was completely immersed in the cycle of the universe.

True Qi is like a flowing stream, gently flowing through the body, injecting a vibrant life force into every place it passes through.

As the true qi circulated, a faint white light gradually appeared on his body surface.

The Flying Technique unconsciously began to operate, and Li Xia, who was sitting cross-legged, naturally floated about half a meter above the ground, gently swaying.

Like a rootless duckweed in the wind, rising and falling.

Aowu relaxed its body, relying solely on its instinct to float, and joyfully swirled around Li Xia with the ever-flowing true qi.

Time passed quietly, and Li Xia slowly opened her tightly closed eyes, which seemed to sparkle with brilliant stars.

He slightly opened his mouth and exhaled gently. In an instant, a white light shot out from his mouth, shooting straight out three feet away like a sharp sword.

[This training session has concluded; effectiveness evaluation: Excellent]

[Eight-Nine Arcane Arts Breakthrough to LV2]

Finally, we've reached LV2. Shaking my head, I realized how difficult it was, even though it wasn't even a foundation.
