He had been thinking about shortening the cultivation technique’s process. This would allow him to practice it more frequently and accumulate more Ability Points. But now, it seed his grand plan to farm points had gone bankrupt.
Although this Lightness Technique was quick to perform, its energy consumption was far too great. A single execution required one to two hours of rest to replenish the consud Postnatal Five Qi.
"What a pity!" Zhang Beixing said, feeling quite regretful.
But soon, his attention shifted. An idea struck him.
Now that I’ve reached the Transcendent realm, I can continue adding points to my attributes, right? If I increase my attributes, will the recovery speed of my Postnatal Five Qi also improve?
With this in mind, Zhang Beixing opened the System panel.
[Master: Zhang Beixing]
[Status: Five Qi Towards Yuan, Just Entered Transcendence, Unbreakable Divine Sight, Natural Martial Arts (Pseudo), Blood Like rcury Slurry Marrow Like Frost]
[Power: 150 (Unbreakable Extraordinary Divine Sight)]
[Constitution: 150 (Unbreakable Extraordinary Divine Sight)]
[ntal Attribute: 150 (Unbreakable Extraordinary Divine Sight)]
[Ability Points: 163]
[Transcendent Skills: Heaven and Earth Natural Technique Second Layer 1, Unnad Lightness Technique First Layer 0]
Taking a glance at his Personal Panel, Zhang Beixing’s gaze landed on the glowing ’ ’ signs next to his various attributes.
Prioritizing comprehension, he decided to max out his ntal Attribute first. Zhang Beixing didn’t hesitate, directly assigning 9.9 points to his ntal Attribute.
Instantly, a sensation of profound clarity welled up within Zhang Beixing. It felt like an incredibly relaxing ntal spa. The sheer pleasure was so overwhelming that Zhang Beixing found himself involuntarily imrsed, nearly drifting into sleep.
When he finally erged from the changes brought about by the attribute increase, he realized ten minutes had passed unknowingly.
Zhang Beixing looked at his Personal Panel. Just as he was about to make so adjustnts to his other attributes and skills, he noticed sothing strange.
After he raised his ntal Attribute to 159.9, his Ability Points had plumted from 163 to 133.3. Previously, the conversion rate for adding points was 1 attribute point for 2 Ability Points. So, 9.9 attribute points should have cost 19.8 Ability Points! The current consumption clearly didn’t match this.
Zhang Beixing furrowed his brows. Gazing at his ntal Attribute, now at a high 159.9, he tentatively added another 0.1.
His gaze fixed on his Ability Points. After the addition, his Ability Point balance dropped directly from 133.3 to 133. That’s a loss of 0.3 points. The exchange rate between attribute points and Ability Points has changed to 1:3!
Seeing this, Zhang Beixing finally understood why the Ability Point consumption was so strange. Damn it, the cost has increased again! he cursed inwardly.
Then he noticed sothing else: after his ntal Attribute reached 160, the ’ ’ button next to it remained lit instead of dimming. This also perplexed him.
Previously, the System imposed a ’limit’ for every ten attribute points he gained. This was to prevent excessively rapid increases, which could lead to imbalanced or malford growth. Upon reaching this ’limit,’ the ’ ’ sign next to the corresponding attribute would dim, and clicking it had no effect. Only when the other two attributes were also raised to match, achieving a balance between all three and breaking through the ’limit’ to enter the next stage, would the ’ ’ sign light up again. This would then allow him to continue allocating points to that attribute.
But now, even after reaching what should have been the ’limit,’ the ’ ’ sign was still lit. This ans I can still add points to this attribute. What in the world is going on? Could it be that this damn System’s limit rules have changed too?
Realizing this possibility, Zhang Beixing was sowhat speechless. Damn it all. It changes the rules without any notification, forcing to figure it out myself. This damn System is really sothing else!
Speaking of which, what about my Transcendent skills? They must have changed as well!
Back when I first obtained Transcendent skills, I wondered if they would follow the sa pattern as my ordinary skills, where the Ability Point cost increased every ten levels. However, when I was previously training *Stealing Heaven’s Secret* and raised it to Level 1 50, the Ability Point cost for upgrades hadn’t fluctuated at all.
And now, the Heaven and Earth Natural Technique had advanced from the first layer to the second. Its upgrade progress had also reset from 50 to 1.
"It’s not waiting to spring a huge cost increase on , is it?" Zhang Beixing muttered. He glanced at his Ability Points; he still had 133 remaining.
That should be enough, he thought, and proceeded to allocate one upgrade to the Heaven and Earth Natural Technique.
This raised the Heaven and Earth Natural Technique Second Layer from 1 to 2.
After doing so, Zhang Beixing’s Ability Points sharply decreased to 113.
Upgrading the Heaven and Earth Natural Technique Second Layer this ti consud 20 Ability Points!
"Not bad," Zhang Beixing judged. The cost was acceptable to him.
Finally, he looked at the ’Unnad Lightness Technique.’ This was the new technique I developed recently. Upgrading it by one point consud 10 Ability Points.
Zhang Beixing pondered. It seems the cost of upgrading is tied to the Transcendent skill’s layer.
Zhang Beixing looked at its na on the panel. After a mont’s thought, considering its characteristics, he gave it a simple and descriptive na:
[Eight Steps of Five Elents]
