Chapter 173: Chapter 150: The Path of Advancement and Version 1.2 Major Update (Monthly Ticket Double Chapter Special)
On the Second Layer, these three super-level Bone Forging Realm training techniques not only strengthen the five internal organs to 100%, they also have branches.
The first technique focuses on strength. Once learned, it can further enhance strength, increasing it by up to 2000 kilograms when at the Refining Internal Martial Artist stage.
The second technique focuses on speed and reaction. Once learned, it can further enhance speed and reaction, increasing speed by up to 20 meters per second and reaction speed by 20% at the Refining Internal Martial Artist stage.
The third technique is more balanced. Once learned, it can enhance all aspects, increasing strength by 1000 kilograms and speed by 10 meters per second and reaction speed by 10% at the Refining Internal Martial Artist stage.
For high-tier martial artists, the limit is only about 4000 kilograms of strength and a speed of 60 meters per second.
Any one of these three techniques, when mastered at the Refining Internal Martial Artist stage, surpasses the power of the same level. The only drawback is that you must master a complete set of corresponding martial arts; otherwise, it can only produce the effect of a high-tier Bone Forging Realm training technique.
"The system really knows how to give me a challenge." Lin Qi looked at these three training techniques, not knowing which one to let the players learn.
Each of the three training techniques has its advantages, none can be said to be stronger or weaker, they are the top notch training techniques.
Because of this, it’s hard to decide which one to let the players choose.
The training technique that focuses on strength allows for a strength of 6000 kilograms at the Refining Internal Martial Artist stage. The one that focuses on speed has a terrifying speed of 80 meters per second and superior reaction speed at the same stage. The balanced technique offers 5000 kilograms of strength and a speed of 70 meters per second, which is also tempting.
"Never mind, I’ll leave this difficult decision to the players." Lin Qi, after thinking for a moment, decided that this wasn’t something he needed to worry about.
He is just a relentless harvesting machine, he doesn’t need to actually learn them, he just needs to harvest the players’ legacy.
Since all three training techniques are excellent, he only needs to observe how the players practice them. If the players can master all three techniques, then he can master all three training techniques too, since no one stipulated that only one technique can be learned.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Qi acted immediately.
In just half a day on Red Moon Mountain, Lin Qi used his Smart Watch to compile the points and contributions of all the players, then directly accessed the system panel to post the organized content as a game announcement on the official forum of "Descent of High Martial".
In an instant, everyone on the official forum, both new and old players discussing the limited-time event of this version, was shocked.
System announcement: The limited-time event of version 1.1 ’Moving City of Azure Sky’ has officially ended, congratulations to the top five contributors who earned the first-level field exploration permissions.
System announcement: The top five contributors of this event are Wushang, Fang Zhen, One Leaf Floating Cloud, Little Yuan Going Crazy, and Lu Fanchen. Please do your best in the next event.
System announcement: Version 1.2 of "Descent of High Martial" will go live at midnight 0:00, this update will be online, players don’t need to log off.
The main updates for version 1.2 are as follows.
1. The number of online players increased by 200.
2. Launch of the field exploration function, players with first-level field exploration permissions can freely explore an area with a radius of 100 kilometers around Red Moon Mountain.
3. Enable advanced permissions, players whose training technique reaches the First Layer at 100% proficiency, after Hall Master’s confirmation, can exchange 200,000 points for the Second Layer training technique. The Second Layer training technique currently has three choices: Strength Series, Agility Series, and Balance Series. Once confirmed, it cannot be changed. (Note: Different system training techniques require learning different matching martial arts to function properly. Please choose carefully.)
4. Enable core disciple status, players with 500,000 contribution points will automatically be promoted to core disciples of the Martial Arts Hall. After becoming core disciples, they enjoy more permissions within the hall and obtain first-level field exploration permissions. In Red Moon Mountain, they can construct a personal residence up to four floors high and can purchase up to 500 square meters of private land on Red Moon Mountain.
5. The Martial Arts Hall has enabled the exchange function for A6-level Battle Armor, with an exchange price of 8 million points and 1000 contributions.
6. Enable private house property tax, charging 5% of the land value of the house monthly. If not paid for three months, the right to the land will be directly revoked.
7. Fixed numerous bugs and improved screen fluidity.
...
As one update after another was announced, the entire official forum became silent.
Previously, updates for "Descent of High Martial" contained relatively few updates, but now the content of the updates made all players feel like they were dreaming; it seemed unreal.
Twilight of the Gods: "Did the game company accidentally squeeze out all the toothpaste this time?
Fang Zhen: "Introducing 200 new players this time is indeed a bit fierce (°ο°)"
One Leaf Floating Cloud: "The core disciple’s permissions are terrifying as expected. I knew the planners were eager to swing the scythe on us (╯‵□′)╯︵┴─┴"
Little Yuan Going Crazy: "Strength, Agility, Balance, is this going to start the transition? My newbie strategy isn’t even ready yet ╮(￣▽￣")╭"
The old players looked at version 1.2 and one by one they couldn’t help being a little dazed. The points they held didn’t seem that valuable anymore.
They all thought that with the tens of millions of points they had, they could squander on Red Moon Mountain, but now they discover that tens of millions of points don’t really count for much.
