Thinking this through, Jiang Hao decisively exchanged for a copy of the Thunderclap Skill from the beginner-level cultivation techniques.
Suddenly, a golden light shone around the rotating icon of the Thunderclap Skill, and the light grew brighter and brighter until it stung Jiang Hao's eyes. Then, the Thunderclap Skill icon, carrying that light, actually emerged from the light screen, landed on Jiang Hao's head, and slowly disappeared into Jiang Hao's body.
Jiang Hao felt a warm sensation in his body, and then he realized that there was a small furnace burning inside him. The small furnace was getting hotter and hotter, making Jiang Hao's internal organs ache. Like a red shrimp in boiling water, Jiang Hao immediately lay on his side on the broad skeleton of the skeletal roc and bent over to a degree that normal humans could not reach. Only then did he feel slightly better.
His body was already soaked with large beads of sweat.
Jiang Hao felt both pain and heat throughout his body, as if he had been thrown into a furnace and roasted. As the pain intensified, Jiang Hao's consciousness began to drift.
Jiang Hao trembled all over, large beads of sweat dripping from his clothes, as if they had just been washed and not yet dried before being hastily hung on a clothesline. He felt his thoughts had stopped, only the pain continued to surge, giving him no chance to even faint.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but just as Jiang Hao's consciousness became numb and he could no longer feel the pain, the furnace within his body began to slowly cool down. His flushed skin, cooled by the rapidly approaching cold wind from high above, gradually returned to normal. However, a layer of dark grime remained on his skin, making him look like a little mud figure.
Jiang Hao gradually regained consciousness, feeling refreshed and invigorated after sleeping comfortably for several days. The only feeling was...thirst!
Unable to bear the hunger and thirst.
My throat felt like the earth that had been baked by the scorching sun all summer, the soil cracked and yearning for even the slightest bit of moisture in the air.
Jiang Hao quickly took out a bottle of medicine, opened his mouth and poured it into his mouth. After finishing one bottle, he casually threw the bottle aside, took out two more bottles, and gulped them down. He drank more than a dozen bottles of medicine before finally letting out a burp.
Checking his attribute panel, Jiang Hao noticed a new "Cultivation Techniques" section. Clicking on it revealed that the Thunderclap Technique had appeared there.
"Increases the speed of normal attacks by 30% and increases the damage of normal attacks by 30%."
Jiang Hao's talent, "Stunning Mercy," adds a certain amount of true damage to normal attacks. I wonder if this technique can affect the talent's damage.
Jiang Hao guessed that it should be possible, since talent should definitely take precedence over cultivation techniques.
Once we arrive in Dingbei City, we must give it a try.
A cold wind blew rapidly from high above, making Jiang Hao shiver with a refreshing chill.
The icon for the Thunderclap Skill on the screen in front of me has dimmed, indicating that it cannot be redeemed or purchased.
Just as Jiang Hao predicted, once someone learns an ancient martial art, it will darken. In fact, ancient martial arts are truly unique in the entire realm!
Having survived the ordeal, Jiang Hao finally felt the lingering fear. If he had been accidentally thrown off the great skeletal roc while studying, or had fallen through the gaps in its bones while rolling around, he probably would have been killed instantly.
Things are different now than before, when death meant rebirth. If you really die now, you're truly dead.
At the same time, Jiang Hao was also shocked. With his attribute values of over a million, he had almost failed to withstand the pain. If it were an ordinary player, wouldn't they have been finished off?
Even though Jiang Hao had already chosen the second ancient martial arts manual, he dared not exchange for it now.
After glancing at the Dragon Body Technique, which inherently increases the three-dimensional (strength, agility, intelligence) attributes by 30%, Jiang Hao silently closed the light screen of the Ancient Martial Arts Pavilion.
We can only begin learning after we have landed and made all the necessary preparations.
Jiang Hao has two chances to exchange for ancient martial arts for free, but he can only exchange for basic techniques.
Jiang Hao found it strange. Logically speaking, these two beginner-level cultivation techniques, Thunderclap Technique and Dragon Body Technique, were even more appealing to him than the God-Slaying Curse. So why were they only included in the beginner-level cultivation techniques?
Even more outrageous is that each book is only priced at 200,000 professional points?
Isn't this a rock-bottom price?
What Jiang Hao found even more incomprehensible was that some people were willing to spend 500,000 or even millions of professional points to buy those seemingly useless intermediate and advanced cultivation techniques, yet they were unwilling to take these two treasures, which together were only worth 400,000, into their pockets.
Are they blind?
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Hao finally realized.
How high can a normal person's attack power be? Take the archer, who has the highest physical attack, for example. A level 30 archer of two-star quality, without equipment, has a physical attack power of only 30,000 and a maximum attack speed of 30 times per second.
Would they be willing to spend 200,000 career points to increase their physical attack to 39,000 and their attack frequency to 39 times per second?
If someone were willing to do that, then they'd be crazy!
Why doesn't he spend 200,000 professional points to buy the critical strike skill that increases physical attack power by 30% and critical strike chance by 50%?
Similarly, even a level 30 two-star warrior only has 15,000 strength attribute. Would he spend 200,000 profession points to buy the Dragon Body Technique in order to increase his attack or survivability?
Just to increase the strength attribute by less than 5,000?
Wouldn't it be better for him to spend 20 career points to buy a skill book that can block 30% of damage?
After this analysis, Jiang Hao immediately understood. It wasn't that others were too stupid to know right from wrong, but rather that they had made the choice that was most beneficial to themselves after weighing the pros and cons.
Anyone who can open the Ancient Martial Arts Pavilion and exchange for the martial arts techniques inside is definitely a genius who has transcended the level of ordinary players!
Which one of them would be an idiot?
The reason he was able to obtain these two martial arts techniques was entirely due to his good luck; he stumbled upon a bargain!
Because of his innate talent, the "Merciful Dizziness," he deals a staggering 6 million additional physical damage. Choosing the "Thunderbolt Technique" will further increase this damage by 1.8 million. Moreover, this damage can only increase as his talent improves.
Because his attribute value is high enough, it has reached more than 1 million. Moreover, as the number of enemies he kills increases in the future, the improvement of the Immortal Heart will be even higher. If he learns the Dragon Body Technique, the benefits will be hundreds or even thousands of times greater than those of others.
Therefore, these two basic techniques were priceless treasures to him.
Little did they know that if a city lord who had activated the Ancient Martial Arts Pavilion function saw someone spend 200,000 to buy these two martial arts techniques, he would probably call that person an idiot!
Jiang Hao suddenly burst out laughing at this thought. He remembered a witty saying he'd seen online: "Isn't that what life is all about? Getting called an idiot, then calling others idiots in return?"
