Chapter 73 - 73: Choosing the Art of Cultivation!
[Self-Defense Soul: Flying Golden Fish]
[Level: General]
[Level 1]
[Statistics]
HP: 1450/1450
Power: 40
Agility: 40
Toughness: 40
[Unique Skills: Water Affinity, Spirit Energy Purification, Flight]
[Passive Skill: Water Sense, Lucky Hello, Recovery buff]
'What a low stat ... when I evolved into a [General] class, even my lowest stat was 60 at the time! All right, let's take a look at the function of the skill…'
[Recovery Buff]: Increases overall recovery statistics by 15%. (The effect will increase along with the martial soul level)
'Eeh.... only raised 15%? But overall..what does it mean? So it not only improves HP recovery but also Qi and stamina recovery?! Not a bad fan! If only the percentage increased by 100% or 200% again! '
However, Tang Li Xue was still greatly underestimated this buff because 'overall recovery statistics' did not mean just stats like HP, stamina, Qi, etc but she would know about it in the near future.
'Another useless skill! What is this [Flight] for?! Aren't all martial souls able to soar through the air ?! Waste skill slots! Huh... But the good news is that the [Swimming] skill evolved into a [Water Affinity]!'
[Water Affinity]: Flying Golden Fish will become much stronger in the water (the effect will only be active in the water).
*Increase movement speed by 3 times.
*Increase all stats by 2 times.
*Increase all water/ice element attacks by 100%.
*Lower all received water/ice element damage by 50%.
Tang Li Xue almost kneeled down while reading the effects of this Unique Skill. His martial soul [Flying Golden Fish] was definitely a water-type predator!
'Ssshhhh.h.. Unique Skills that OP! It was only fitting that this [Flying Golden Fish] had such low stats that his true strength could only be seen in the water! Eh... then what is the effect of this [Water Sense] passive skill?'
[Water Sense]: Flying Golden Fish were not only able to breathe underwater but could also sense the vibrations in the water making them able to detect everything in the water within a radius of 120 meters.
'Not bad at all! So it's underwater detection capability! Tsk..it really is a great water predator!'
[Lucky Halo] was still the same as usual but Tang Li Xue guessed the effect should be enhanced.
The number of low-tier spirit stones that [Refining Spirit Energy] could produce increased to five per day now.
But Tang Li Xue was facing a terrifying new problem now!
'What a headache! My martial soul is a water type! While I need fire-type cultivation art to continue nurturing the Flame of Pride and make it stronger! Water and fire are two opposing elements!'
If it was someone else, they would probably have been deadlocked when faced with a problem like this. In the end, they will decide to choose only one.
However, Tang Li Xue was different!
He had the [Premium Cultivation Voucher] from the system so that he could choose the one cultivation art that was most suitable for him from countless cultivation arts!
'Fuuuuh... I hope I can find a fire water element cultivation method with this [Premium Cultivation Voucher].'
[Premium Cultivation voucher has been activated! You can choose the top cultivation/martial arts manual you want!]
'Woahhh.. TOP! It has the TOP words on it so all the manuals contained within it should be more valuable than [Guarding Vouchers]! Okay.. I won't hesitate anymore! I'm coming!'
[Sacred Book of the Emperor of Space and Time]
The first choice alone was already very good and made Tang Li Xue almost unable to contain her greed.
Tang Li Xue took a deep breath and continued to scroll down to see which cultivation method/art suited her needs.
[Secretary Guide of Heavenly Emperors]
[Void God Martial Scripture]
[Hegemon Nine Horizon Body Art]
'Ck, ck, ck .. What's with all this art? Aren't they too strong? Sigh... showing all this art to me right now is no different than teasing me with delicious food but I can't even touch it!'
Tang Li Xue gritted her teeth and continued her search.
[Featured Method of the Nine Sun Gods]
[Heaven Destroying Chantra]
After searching for a while, Tang Li Xue finally managed to find one cultivation art that suited her current stage and needs.
[Four Art Beast Guard Myths]
'To be honest, I want to find a low-level cultivation art with only the elements of water and fire but all the methods on the list are too high! Oh well... whatever..this is the most suitable cultivation art for me now so let's choose this!'
The reason for Tang Li Xue's hesitation was because high-level cultivation arts should be harder to develop than lower levels!
Normally, people cultivate lower levels first before changing their cultivation art to a higher level after they reached a higher cultivation stage to make it easier. The principle is the same as climbing stairs.
But Tang Li Xue had no other choice at the moment because the system list did not show her a low-level cultivation art!
[Are you sure you want to choose the Four Mythological Guard Beast Arts? Yes No]
'Hopefully, my mind can hold it... YEP!'
AAAAANG!
As before, all the information about the Fourth Mythical Guardian Beast Art went into his brain like a broken dam.
Although this kind of knowledge injection is the most efficient way to transfer knowledge, but the side effects if it fails are also terrible.
If the mind of the receiver of knowledge could not withstand the impact, their mind could become paralyzed, and they would become idiots their entire life!
The amount of knowledge he received about the [Four Mythical Guardian Beast Art] this time was definitely much more than before when he obtained the [Body Tempering Stage Secret].
Tang Li Xue could feel her headache getting worse every second!
He could feel something in his mind starting to tear apart but he continued to gnash his teeth and hold it in!
'GUUUUUUAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!'
After a few minutes, the headache that broke finally began to subside little by little signifying that the process of injecting knowledge was complete.
Tang Li Xue's limp body immediately slumped to the floor as she began to pant, her face was also filled with tears and snot due to the tremendous pain in her mind earlier.
'Hosh... hosh! The pain I felt like someone opened my brain, put all the books of knowledge into it, and closed it back!'
When Tang Li Xue tried to recall the [Four Mythical Guardian Beast Art] from her mind, she could only remember basic information about it.
It seemed like his mind was really not strong enough to house all of the [Four Mythical Guardian Beast Art] but for now, it was, he can choose one part to remember and he can process that part first before his mind becomes strong enough then he can.
[Four Mythical Guardian Beast Art] has been divided into four parts according to the four mythical guardian beasts in the legends: white tiger, black turtle, blue dragon, and red phoenix bird. Each section is further divided into 10 layers according to the 10 ranks of each cultivation stage.
In other words, he could cultivate this [Four Mythical Guardian Beast Art] for four stages of cultivation until he reached the peak of the Core Formation Stage later on! Unlike the [Body Tempering Stage Secret] where he could only cultivate it for one full stage until he reached the peak of the Body Tempering Stage.
Moreover, each mythical guardian beast also had different elements.
White tigers have the element of wind.
Black turtles have the water element.
The blue dragon has the element of lightning.
The red Phoenix had the element of fire.
'So I can process 4 different elements now?! Waaaah... that's great! But the question now is... Which element should I develop first?'
