Chapter 110: 085 Three Hard Skills, Strong Improvement (6.4k)_4
 

“If I didn’t have the Pure Heart State talent, and merely relied on the protection brought by blood salt, my willpower would have probably collapsed by now…”

Bai Xiao didn’t even know if one would become an idiot after their will collapsed.

“The twelfth punching technique, can a normal person really comprehend it?”

“If there really is one…”

“Then that person’s Will Attribute must be ridiculously high!”

Five minutes later, he walked out of the Visualization Room and came to the warehouse’s hall.

After waiting briefly.

Outside, a familiar black figure slowly walked in.

“Master Chen.”

Bai Xiao quickly stood up to greet him.

He called Chen Liao Master Chen, as requested by Chen Liao. Chen Liao felt that before a formal apprenticeship, according to the rules, one couldn’t call him master.

Calling him Master Chen was just right.

“Hmm, the application for Hard Skill has come through.”

Chen Liao walked over, step by step, holding a thick wooden box in his hand.

On the box, carved petals were hollowed out, with a red lacquered surface.

It had an old-fashioned, antique charm.

“There are three in total, have a look for yourself.”

He placed the wooden box in front of the chair Bai Xiao had just been sitting in.

Thereafter, Chen Liao sat down on another chair and began to brew tea.

The hot water was boiling, the aroma of the tea permeated the air, swirling through the hall.

Bai Xiao sat down again and lifted the lid of the box.

Inside, there were three yellow-covered books.

The yellow covers, palm-sized, a thin layer.

He took them out one by one and scanned through them.

“Giant Stone Skill,” “Jiao Jin Net,” “Red Elephant Skill.”

He opened the first book, Giant Stone Skill, and quickly understood its contents.

Giant Stone Skill was considered one of the most common Hard Skills in the Martial Arts Circle.

But being common also implied it was stable and solid.

No obvious flaws, all aspects were above the standard line.

Giant Stone Skill had two levels, Green Stone Realm and Giant Stone Realm. When cultivated to the extreme, muscles became as hard as stone, able to resist the stab of sharp weapons.

Next, he looked at Jiao Jin Net, which was a bit special.

It wasn’t about cultivating skin or muscle, but instead about tempering the body’s major tendons, making the various meridians more resilient and strong. As if a dense net was spread throughout the body, greatly increasing buffering capabilities.

Jiao Jin Net had three layers, Snake Tendon, Python Tendon, Jiao Tendon.

Last, there was Red Elephant Skill.

This Cultivation Technique was modeled after the king of land in the modern world, the elephant. Observing its body shape and spirit, it aimed to give a person an incredibly stable and heavy momentum like Tai Shan. Red Elephant Skill primarily cultivated skin membrane, with secondary focus on muscle.

It also had three layers: Gray Film, Mystic Skin, Red Skin!

Bai Xiao gazed at the three manuals for a long time, then closed them.

Among these three Hard Skills, Giant Stone Skill required no medicinal ingredients, and the first level of Red Elephant Skill didn’t either, but the second and third levels needed medicinal assistance. As for Jiao Jin Net, not only did all levels require ingredients, but they also required a lot, and were quite complex.

After all, compared to skin and muscle, meridians were more fragile and difficult to cultivate.

“Master Chen, the medicinal ingredients listed here…”

Bai Xiao raised his head and looked at Chen Liao who was drinking tea beside him.

“They’re not ready yet. Some need to be retrieved from the headquarters; we don’t have them in the warehouse…”

Chen Liao sipped his tea and said to Bai Xiao.

“Here’s what we’ll do; I’ll try my best to get the medicinal ingredients you need into the White Bird Training Base warehouse. However, it won’t be possible in the next few days…”

“It’ll be a few days later.”

“Okay, then I’ll trouble you, Master Chen.”

Bai Xiao took a deep breath and immediately expressed his gratitude.

A moment later, in a quiet chamber used for cultivation.

Bai Xiao sat alone on a meditation cushion, cross-legged. In front of him was a low wooden table, just the right height to place the Cultivation Technique manuals.

On the table, a stick of red Calming Incense was quietly burning.

Threads of a pleasant fragrance lingered in the air.

Bai Xiao composed himself, extending his hand to gently turn the pages of Giant Stone Skill.

At the same time, he activated the Pure Heart State.

Time ticked away, and he flipped through the manual to its last page.

The sound of pages fluttering.

In front of him, the vocational panel quietly showed the addition of Giant Stone Skill.

[Skill: Giant Stone Skill Beginner (1/200)]+

As expected of a transcendental Hard Skill.

Just starting the first level requires two hundred Experience to reach max level!

Bai Xiao took a deep breath as a bright red light glowed in front of him.

[Dark Red Modifier]

[Potential Points: 16]

“Dark Red! Apply points!”

In a moment of concentrated attention.

The Modifier’s Potential Points plummeted.

[Potential Points: 12]

The skill state bar for Giant Stone Skill blurred rapidly.

After a few breaths, it became clear again.

[Your profession ‘Martial Artist’, Experience +30!]

[Your skill ‘Giant Stone Skill Beginner’ Experience +200!]

[Skill ‘Giant Stone Skill Beginner’ has advanced to ‘Green Stone Realm’!]

[Skill: Giant Stone Skill Green Stone Realm (1/400)]+

Information bombarded him in quick succession; weakness and hunger set in.

Bai Xiao abruptly closed his eyes, suppressing these negative states. Then he opened them again, his pupils flashed sharply, a fierce determination sweeping across.

“Continue!”

“Dark Red, elevate my Giant Stone Skill to the limit!”

Instantly, another flurry of red light flickered, and Potential Points sharply decreased.

A mysterious, powerful energy poured into Giant Stone Skill, forcefully elevating it from the initial Green Stone Realm to the perfected Giant Stone level!

“Giant Stone Skill, accomplished!”
