Chapter 815: Flipping the Rules
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Every ti Chen Fei entered the void, he was always filled with a sense of awe as he gazed at the twinkling stars ahead.
It was like an ordinary person looking up at the night sky, beholding countless stars, feeling their own insignificance yet yearning for the unknown world beyond the sky.
Unlike ordinary people, facing these starlights, Chen Fei could actually grasp them in his hands and bring one back into his body.
These gifted starlights, whether powerful or not, could provide substantial assistance, regardless of their size.
Leaping forward, Chen Fei was accompanied by the virtual shadows of five Divine Palaces behind him, burdens yet also the source of soul power. However, the greater propellant lay in the five gates of Great Completion talents.
At that mont, the talents tirelessly absorbed spiritual energy, replenishing Chen Fei’s soul, enabling him to fly farther.
Chen Fei barely glanced at the talents ahead, no longer paying attention.
They were talents he had seen before, relatively basic, with nothing new appearing.
These talents were helpful to Chen Fei but their assistance was minimal, lacking significance in selection.
Leaping past these clusters of light, there was a brief blank period, but soon, new talents appeared ahead.
It was still the talents bestowed by the Suppressing Dragon Elephant. Chen Fei glanced at them and continued forward.
As Chen Fei’s strength increased, many talents leaned more towards their initial positions, a result of continually tapping into human potential.
Thus, even other Practitioners in the Mountain Sea Realm, unable to refine their internal talents to the Great Completion level like Chen Fei, still had the opportunity to select talents they had not seen before when they entered the void each ti.
This was because many talents were getting closer to their original starting points.
Talents like Iron Skin Bronze Bones, Resilience, and Roar of Fury were seen along the way by Chen Fei, many of which he had favored before. However, his focus was not on them now.
After another long stretch of emptiness, Chen Fei reached the furthest point he had reached last ti and also spotted the talent Divine Blessing.
Previously, there was both Divine Blessing and the talent Adamantine Body. Chen Fei had chosen Adamantine Body.
But this ti, Chen Fei’s biggest goal was Divine Blessing.
The Divine Blessing talent, combined with the Dream Entry of Divine Blessing, had an overwhelming effect on soul recovery, which stirred Chen Fei’s heart uncontrollably.
Chen Fei checked the current state of his soul and found it had consud less than thirty percent. Compared to last ti, Chen Fei had made considerable progress.
Chen Fei glanced at the Divine Blessing talent and continued leaping forward.
His soul condition was still optimistic. Even though his target was the Divine Blessing talent, Chen Fei wanted to keep looking forward to see if there were any other better talents.
He might not choose one this ti, but knowing what talents were available would give him a goal for next ti, wouldn’t it?
After this breakthrough, Chen Fei would have to start earning money like a maniac. Once he had enough, he could quickly plan for the construction of the sixth Divine Palace.
Another long stretch of emptiness ensued. Since he had seen the talents Divine Blessing and Adamantine Body last ti, Chen Fei knew that the talents further ahead had already entered an extrely rare state.
Just as there were distinctions in the transmission of techniques, talents naturally varied in quality.
While the talents continued to circulate, his soul was constantly being depleted. When his soul had consud about thirty-three percent, new clusters of light finally appeared ahead.
A slight smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face. Although he didn’t see new talents this ti, it didn’t affect him in any way, but it was sowhat regrettable.
There weren’ t many clusters of light, only two. Chen Fei reached into the first one.
[Sky Breaker: Increases critical hit chance when attacking]
A critical hit ant doubling the attack power. Just reading the description, the ability of this talent was simply off the charts.
In battles between strong opponents, sotis victory hinged on a fine line.
In other words, even a slight advantage could determine the outco of a fight. If your attack suddenly doubled, who among peers could withstand it?
Using secret techniques or burning soul power, martial artists displayed signs on their bodies, indicating their readiness.
Yet, with a critical hit like this, your opponent might not even have ti to react before being overwheld.
Of course, the critical hit chance of this talent Sky Breaker was probabilistic. According to the information in the cluster of light, if mastered to its peak, the critical hit chance was ten percent.
This didn’t an you would land a critical hit every ten strikes.
It could happen every move, or you could go dozens of strikes without one.
Predicting probability was entirely uncertain.
The Suppressing Dragon Elephant’s ability to convert and use the opponent’s attack bore so resemblance to critical hits but didn’t reach the level of doubling.
Chen Fei’s eyes glead. The Sky Breaker talent was formidable enough to unexpectedly alter the course of a battle entirely. anwhile, your opponent might not even understand how they had t their end.
Chen Fei had encountered many practitioners in the Mountain Sea Realm but had never heard of anyone possessing such a talent.
Of course, talents were secrets among martial artists, and no one would go around broadcasting them.
The talent Sky Breaker, to so extent, resembled sothing drawn by the Suppressing Dragon Elephant. Among the exclusive talents of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant was one called Sky Piercer, which increased the sharpness of attacks.
Chen Fei withdrew his hand and reached into another nearby cluster of light.
Sky Breaker was good, a backup option, but for quicker creation of the Myriad Clone, the talent Divine Blessing was now more suitable for Chen Fei.
[Connecting Heaven: Reduces damage, chance of consecutive attacks]
Consecutive attacks?
Seeing the talent description, Chen Fei paused for a mont. As he read the specific explanation of the talent, a slight furrow appeared on his brow.
With the talent Connecting Heaven, there was a chance during attacks to manipulate the rules of heaven and earth, causing the qi of heaven and earth to replicate your previous attack, achieving an instant double strike effect on the enemy.
At first glance, the talent Connecting Heaven seed similar to Sky Breaker’s critical hits, but in reality, they were completely different.
Sky Breaker’s critical hit packed double the attack power into a single blow. Connecting Heaven, on the other hand, allowed for consecutive strikes in a short period.
To put it simply, it was like when Chen Fei, at the peak of Combined Aperture Tempering realm, first encountered the Monster Nie Li.
With Nie Li’s defense, Chen Fei wouldn’t have been able to breakthrough without using the Suppressing Dragon Elephant to convert Nie Li’s attacks.
If Chen Fei had the Sky Breaker talent back then, even if Nie Li realized that not attacking Chen Fei would keep him safe, Chen Fei could still have shattered Nie Li’s shell with a single blow using Sky Breaker.
But if Chen Fei had the Connecting Heaven talent, even with consecutive strikes, Nie Li’s shell would remain intact because Nie Li’s basic defense was there, unbreakable.
It’s quite clear that the Sky Breaker talent has the potential to achieve victory against stronger opponents, while the Connecting Heaven talent would be more effective against opponents of similar or lesser strength.
Moreover, the Connecting Heaven talent had a characteristic that troubled Chen Fei: just by having Connecting Heaven, his normal attacks would be weakened by twenty percent.
This weakened power seed to be used to manipulate the rules of heaven and earth, allowing a chance for the qi of heaven and earth to replicate his attack.
If mastered to the Great Completion level, the Connecting Heaven talent could have nearly a fifty percent chance of delivering a double strike, but the attack power would permanently be reduced by twenty percent.
“These probability-based talents are really…”
Whether it was the Sky Breaker talent or the Connecting Heaven talent, both relied on probability. If you were lucky, every attack could be a critical hit or a double strike. But if luck wasn’t on your side, you could end up with nothing.
“However, the Connecting Heaven talent involves rules, even if it’s just basic rules, is quite formidable!”
Chen Fei withdrew his hand. Between Sky Breaker and Connecting Heaven, he chose Sky Breaker.
The Connecting Heaven talent, which required him to weaken his attacks before striking, wasn’t sothing Chen Fei favored. Besides, even concealing an attack within the spatial grid was much more effective than the Connecting Heaven talent when it ca to consecutive strikes.
Chen Fei checked the consumption of his soul energy and found it was still sufficient. After a mont’s hesitation, he continued flying forward.
As his soul energy depleted by forty percent, faint lights appeared ahead. When it reached forty-five percent depletion, Chen Fei finally saw clusters of light ahead, still two clusters.
Towards the later stages of the void, the number of talents appearing at once decreased significantly.
Approaching them, Chen Fei reached into one of the clusters.
[Observing Fissure: Observes vulnerabilities]
Observing Fissure allowed him to directly perceive weaknesses in the opponent’s defenses.
This talent was sowhat similar to Chen Fei’s current Heavenly Eye, which also had the ability to observe vulnerabilities. However, the talent Observing Fissure was more domineering.
In this world, there were no perfect things, and the sa applied to attacks and defenses. However, with skilled techniques, one could completely conceal their own vulnerabilities.
The Observing Fissure talent forced you to discover a weakness in the opponent’s defenses when you couldn’t observe any vulnerabilities yourself.
It carried so similarities to the Connecting Heaven talent in terms of its rule-like implications.
In terms of talent performance, Observing Fissure was not stronger than Sky Breaker and Connecting Heaven. In the deeper parts of the void, it could only be said that Chen Fei’s potential in this aspect might have been weaker.
However, compared to directly increasing attack power, Chen Fei personally believed that the Observing Fissure talent was stronger.
Just like Chen Fei, an excessively defensive martial artist, others of the sa level simply could not break through his defenses.
But if the opponent had the Observing Fissure talent and found a weakness in Chen Fei’s defenses, the situation could change.
Chen Fei withdrew his arm and reached into another cluster of light. After examining this one, he would imdiately return to his starting position.
[Thunder Roar: Strengthened thunder-based techniques, reduced difficulty in practicing thunder-based techniques]
The talent unearthed by the Purple Sky Stellar Technique, its explanation was indeed clear and straightforward.
Its effects were beyond doubt, capable of enhancing the Purple Sky Stellar Technique and accelerating its cultivation. However, after hesitating for a mont, Chen Fei withdrew his hand and continued running in the direction he had co from.
Along the way, Chen Fei glanced at the Sky Breaker talent, but he did not stop his stride.
A mont later, Chen Fei arrived in front of the Divine Blessing talent, grabbed its cluster of light, and flew back to his starting position.
This ti, Chen Fei did not go back on his word. He chose Divine Blessing as he had promised, without a hint of hesitation.
A true man!
