Volume 4: The Winds and Clouds of the Western Blue Sky Chapter 43: The method of nourishing the meridians
Four days have passed since the Blood Mark appeared and Qi Ji defeated him instantly in the first round of Honor Hunting.
Including the day of the blood mark, Qi Ji killed five opponents in the Secret Records of Rebirth in five days.
These five opponents all come from the last martial arts worldview of the Xiongjie.
From this he once again acquired five skills with distinct martial arts styles.
Palm Technique [Dominate the World], Finger Technique [Telepathic Finger], Light Kung Fu [Chase the Cicada in Eight Steps], Sword Technique [Divine Sword Slash], Sword Move [Fifteenth Sword].
When he killed the last cold swordsman in the scene of rustling leaves and sunset, and obtained the extraordinary sword technique called "The Fifteenth Sword" that even a superman like him could not help but marvel at.
Although this world view that possessed many wonderful and magical moves was no longer able to compete with Qi Ji due to the limitations of human strength, it was also closed from then on.
…
In the past few days, in addition to challenging the Secret Records of Rebirth, Qi Ji also experienced many battles.
Because Qi Ji's combat power under the explosion has reached the general level of the middle level of the fourth order, and he also possesses several recovery spells in the Miracle Authority as a guarantee of endurance.
The most important thing is the "Gift" entry of Wolf Swordsmanship. As long as you slaughter the abyss demons, you can continuously gain dual strengthening of body and mind.
Therefore, during these days, Qi Ji basically did not spend the night in the city except for the necessary supplies.
Over the course of five days, he slaughtered countless demons that attacked him one after another, absorbed their soul power, and felt that his body seemed to have reached a certain limit again.
The precise control over his own body allows Qi Ji to accurately estimate his current limit of strength.
Without taking into account the degree of transcendence and without using any basic burst state, his current maximum strength in the outer realm after being blessed by the extraordinary factors is about a little over 1,200 kilograms.
If the increase in transcendence is taken into account, the ultimate strength is just over 5,000 kilograms, or 5 tons, and the body's strength and sensitivity are also enhanced accordingly with the increase in transcendence.
Based on his recent battles with many different levels of extraordinary enemies, he was able to make a preliminary distinction between the levels of enemies.
Just looking at humanoid enemies, the maximum strength of a first-level transcendent is approximately one to one and a half tons.
A second-level extraordinary person is not much different from a first-level extraordinary person under normal circumstances, but by stimulating the explosion of local extraordinary factors in the body, the instantaneous burst of force can reach 1.5 to 3 times that of the first-level, which is in the range of two to five tons.
The third-order extraordinary people are much stronger than the second-order. They can stimulate the extraordinary factors throughout the body at the same time. Under this stimulation, the extraordinary factors will flow at high speed in the body and become a permanent, overall magic burst. The Xicang Continent named this technique "Magic Torrent". In this state, the third-order extraordinary person can have a permanent output of six tons in the worst case, and nine to ten tons in the best case.
At this time, the physical strength of the third-level extraordinary person has reached the limit that humans from other realms can achieve. The strengthening of the human body by the extraordinary factor has reached its peak.
Facing a third-order transcendent, Qi Ji had to activate the Breathing of the Sun in order to defeat him.
The fourth-level extraordinary person, based on the physical foundation of the third-level extraordinary person, took a different approach and officially entered a new system.
Because the extraordinary factors in the body have reached their limit, the top third-order extraordinary people began to try to manipulate the extraordinary factors that were already as easy as their arms to float on the surface of the body and weave them into armor.
These armors not only provide strong defense for the fourth-level extraordinary people, but also possess .
If viewed from Earth's modern perspective, this is an armor-like exoskeleton.
After reaching this stage, depending on the solidity and perfection of the armor, the strength span of the fourth-level extraordinary person will become very huge.
For example, the first priest killed by Qi Ji had just entered the fourth level and had only condensed a very simple armor whose shape was almost invisible. His strength increased by about ten tons on his own basis.
As for the city lord Cologne who was killed in the City of Eternal Life a few days ago, his armor was extremely solid, and its appearance was visible to the naked eye. The strength it brought was also obviously huge - his strength was about forty tons.
Looking further ahead, those top masters in the fourth order who can weave a set of incomparably gorgeous, seemingly real armor, such as Yu Chengen, Gu Chongan, etc., estimate based on Qi Ji's current knowledge, these people's output is definitely more than a hundred tons in terms of strength alone, and their speed can easily reach or even break the speed of sound.
As for the fifth level... Qi Ji has never faced one before, so he is not qualified to comment.
Let’s get back to the question of Qi Ji’s own limits.
When he first arrived at the outer world of Donghua Continent, after taking the Blood Bodhi, his most primitive basic strength (not counting the extraordinary and transcendent levels) reached the limit, which was approximately three hundred kilograms.
Later, he upgraded his meridian nourishing method to the maximum and unlocked "Ascend to Immortality". His limit was broken, allowing his physical strength to be improved through practice again.
And now, this basic limit has been reached again.
If you want to continue to push your limits...
Qi Ji opened his own panel and looked at the meridian nourishing method that he had not used for a long time.
[Nourish the Meridians Method·Ultimate (Subdue Demons·Formless·Ascend to Immortality) (0/∞)]
That’s right, the meridian nourishing method is different from other skills. Although it has been fully upgraded, you can still continue to add points.
After the slaughter in the past few days, he had accumulated some transcendence points. Now his transcendence points were at three thousand, so he could try to increase them.
[Transcendence: 3000 → 2000]
[Yangmai Method·Extreme (0/∞) → Yangmai Method·Extreme (1000/∞)]
[Your physical potential has been improved]
really!
Qi Ji's face lit up with joy. He definitely felt that his physical strength had reached its limit. The feeling of fullness and restraint became loose again!
As the upper limit increased, the "Changzhong" breathing method began to make progress in improving physical strength.
Sure enough, if we want to talk about magic, it has to be the method of nourishing meridians!
However, Qi Ji still resisted the urge to invest all his transcendental powers into the Meridian Nourishing Method.
From the upgrade requirements of the miracle authority, he could roughly predict how much transcendence would be consumed by future skills, so it was necessary to always reserve some transcendence.
Qi Ji put away the panel, sat on the spirit horse and continued to practice the magic burst technique of the Flowing Water Sword.
After several days of actual combat and daily training, he has been able to stably use the first four moves of the first stage of Water Bird Dance.
The essence of the magic burst technique is actually quite simple. After gaining experience with the first few moves, you will become proficient in the following ones faster and faster.
Some people may wonder, didn't he use the complete Water Bird Dance in the last round of the fight with Cologne? Why did he have to practice it from scratch now?
That is actually not Qi Ji's "own ability".
That is the power of "no form".
