"Success!"
After completing the process for the third ti, Tao Yu didn't care about appearances, and plopped down onto the coal cinder ground, panting heavily to recover his strength.
Smith, who originally wanted Tao Yu to relax a bit and not sit down imdiately, also beca a bit dazed upon hearing this.
"Success?"
It was successful just like that?!
When Tao Yu had begun his first attempt, Smith knew this highly talented student was a quick learner. Moreover, he had predicted that the student could grasp the basics in a single day!
But what was this situation with mastering it after three attempts?
One of those attempts was even with the student watching while he demonstrated, with him making corrections only after the next two!
Although it was just the basics, it also ant that Tao Yu could continue to invest Yuan Force into this ability to accelerate its mastery!
Thinking of this terrifying talent, Smith truly felt a bit jealous.
But quickly, that tinge of envy in his heart was suppressed, and his face showed a mixture of shock and joy.
"Junior brother is really too talented, isn't he? Is this what a Grade A talent looks like? It's truly unbelievable."
Then he turned to the other equally shocked students and said,
"Do you see? Why aren't you working harder? Speak up now if you have any questions."
At this mont, Tao Yu also raised his hand and spoke up proactively,
"Senior brother, I want to buy so Qi-tonic Soup to recover a bit, and then take advantage of the montum to accelerate with Yuan Force."
"Alright, you all wait here. Keep practicing on your own for now, and I will take questions when I co back after seeing off Tao Yu."
Smith promptly left the others behind to continue self-practice, as he took the initiative to lead Tao Yu to the direction of the ss hall.
Left behind, Zhang Wei and the others, although grumbling inwardly, didn't voice any complaints, watching helplessly as Smith escorted Tao Yu towards a large wooden house that was probably the ss hall.
The circumstances of Tao Yu's three-ti mastery, while a blow to them, had also instilled them with so confidence.
They wouldn't need three tis; mastering within three days should be possible, right?
After all, it was rely a basic skill broken down for the convenience of teaching!
They could surely do it!
...
On the other side, Smith also led Tao Yu to the ss hall.
The Myriad Flow Dojo's ss hall was a large single-story wooden warehouse, filled with rows of square tables. Being off alti, chairs were turned upside down and placed on the tables, resembling a scene from a rural banquet.
Although alti had not yet arrived, the kitchen was already bustling. The sound of chopping vegetables was incessant, and a rich fragrance wafted over, making Tao Yu's mouth water.
It slled delicious.
"That is the sll of Qi-tonic Soup, a privilege for the students. Everyone who studies here with the ans won't miss out,"
Smith explained kindly on the side.
As a senior student already serving as a Teaching Assistant, he certainly had so influence. After a brief visit to the back kitchen, he brought out three large bowls.
"Today's on ."
"Thank you, senior brother."
Tao Yu didn't put on airs, acknowledging that thirty Yuan Force for a al was a luxury in the outer city.
Tao Yu looked at the brownish-gray Qi-tonic Soup that resembled pig offal porridge, and without any hesitation, he directly picked up a bowl, blew on the steam, then gulped it down.
Although called Qi-tonic Soup, it was indeed more like a porridge, grainy with a thick taste of innards; savory, delicious, and smooth. Just the taste was quite good.
The key was that after downing a bowl, Tao Yu could feel a distinct heat spreading from his stomach, being digested and absorbed at a rate far surpassing that of roasted at.
With the additional ability of [One Proof Forever Proof], he was particularly sensitive to such sensations.
"Aweso!"
Without hesitation, Tao Yu imdiately finished the remaining two bowls, licking them clean.
"Senior brother, I will continue to accelerate practice near the ss hall. You can go back first."
"Be careful not to overdo it, and perhaps prepare so ointnt which is quite effective and offers so stimulating benefits, also available here,"
Smith reminded him.
"Understood."
After watching Smith leave, the effects of the three bowls of Qi-tonic Soup gradually took hold, causing Tao Yu to feel his Qi-Blood churning.
He then focused his attention on the new skill he had learned.
With the transportation of Qi-Blood through the Breathing Technique, capturing movents with Dynamic Vision, and his current physical strength, mastering the skill in three attempts was quite satisfying for Tao Yu.
This accomplishnt also benefited from the [One Proof Forever Proof] trait, which ignored the pain of bodily injuries, in exchange for a Deification-level skill that cost five hundred Yuan Force!
[Myriad Flow Stance Skill]: A technique for accelerated body training that can exercise major muscles throughout the body, enhance ligant and ridian elasticity, and reduce the difficulty of certain movents.
The [Myriad Flow Stance Skill] itself was fairly standard, not increasing human limits. Theoretically, it shouldn't even be as good as the Basic Breathing Technique, yet the cost of its Deification reached more than triple that of the Basic Breathing Technique!
It was even costlier than [Stealth·Alien], currently the most expensive skill, second only to enhancents through talent.
[Stealth·Alien] could let oneself enter the shadows, and its effect was even stronger than [Stealth·Python].
However, the thought that the enhancent of [Ambush·Alien] only required two hundred Yuan Force, but theoretically was more practical than both [Stealth] skills, left Tao Yu a bit perplexed as to what determined the specific consumption of skill enhancent.
Was the enhancent of [Ambush] so affordable because it inherited the Shadow Force from the [Stealth] prerequisite, whereas [Ambush] itself couldn't generate Shadow Force?
Without dwelling on it further, Tao Yu infused five hundred units of Yuan Force, allowing this newly born skill to undergo its transformation.
Crack crack~
Without even beginning to practice, Tao Yu's bones started making cracking noises, his muscles tensed, and his tendons bulged. It took a few seconds before the tension faded, and the effect of the three bowls of Qi-tonic Soup he had consud felt like it had already been depleted by a third!
The roiling Qi-Blood in his body also seed to subside a bit.
Squeezing his fist, Tao Yu clearly felt an increase in strength. His body was still the sa, but did it seem as though the coordination between his muscles was being fully utilized?
[Myriad Flow Stance Skill·Modified] lv1: Possesses an excellent training effect, capable of mobilizing all the muscles and Qi-Blood in the body, twisting the strength into a single force, increasing a certain physical limit, and unlocking various high-difficulty movents.
Strength twisted into one!
No wonder he didn't feel much physical enhancent, but there was a clear increase in strength!
Tao Yu felt an eager urge to test his various attributes, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Another increase in the physical limit, combined with the Breathing Technique and the amplification from Blood Orchid, will need so ti to develop," he said to himself.
Tao Yu took a slow breath and then, while mobilizing his Qi-Blood with the Breathing Technique, he practiced with the Myriad Flow Stance Skill, accelerating each skill by two hundred units of Yuan Force every hour!
Quite extravagant!
But ti is money!
Crack, a sour feeling erged throughout his body, Qi-Blood constantly roiling inside, his muscles twitching and swelling—a savagely pleasant sensation. Yet, Tao Yu bore it through the characteristic of [One Proof Forever Proof] and stubbornly continued.
As long as he could endure the pain, without worrying about ruining his body, he could be this unrestrained!
With both skills accelerated simultaneously, Tao Yu also noticed that this wasn't as straightforward as 1 1=2. The Breathing Technique could stabilize Qi-Blood, and Stance Skill could just right transport Qi-Blood. Just one set alone was enough to exhaust the remaining effects of the Qi-tonic Soup!
This rate of acceleration ant needing roughly the energy provided by two bowls of Qi-tonic Soup in just fifteen minutes, which made Tao Yu inwardly astonished.
It was also a good thing he had the Qi-tonic Soup; if he had been in the Abyss relying solely on roasted at, even constant eating wouldn't sustain the simultaneous accelerated practice of two abilities!
The consumption of Deification abilities was indeed great.
Tao Yu was willing to invest four hundred units of Yuan Force every hour for acceleration, and with Qi-tonic Soup costing ten units per bowl, he naturally couldn't be frugal...
...
As the sky gradually dimd, Tao Yu finished another set and his tightly wound spirits began to scatter, even his energy starting to fade under the cumulative soreness that surged forth, causing his muscles to twitch uncontrollably.
"That's enough for today," he said.
Dragging his weary body to the dining hall, Tao Yu received yet another two bowls of Qi-tonic Soup under the odd gaze of an aunt.
Since he had mastered the skills and had Yuan Force acceleration as an excuse, drinking a bit more Qi-tonic Soup wasn't too unusual, after all, others didn't know exactly how much he had accelerated.
With plenty of students here and those practicing core abilities in the dojo often consuming more than him, it was likely he wasn't the only one.
Still, even so, he had beco sowhat conspicuous today, so it was a good ti for Tao Yu to stop training.
Afterwards, while walking to relax his body, he arrived at a corner of the dojo and stood in front of a stone weight.
The stone weight was marked with its mass—100 kilograms!
With a single hand, Tao Yu casually lifted the stone weight, feeling a significant amount of leftover strength, and without even placing much strain on his post-training aching muscles.
Suppressing the impulse to toss it up and catch it again, he quickly set the stone weight down.
The human body's limit was roughly about grasping just over 100 kilograms with one hand and over 200 kilograms with both hands, being able to hold it over the head and persist for a while. If just deadlifting, the human limit would probably be about 500 kilograms.
Tao Yu knew that with the help of eating Blood Orchid, his normal body capacity without relying on skill bursts was slightly stronger than this level upon his recent return.
But now, he clearly felt he could throw and then catch this 100-kilogram stone weight with one hand!
He had beco stronger, and it was a tangible increase in strength!
This was the real utilization of the increased limits provided by the Breathing Technique, Blood Orchid, and the Stance Skill!
Tao Yu also felt that this was not yet the limit of his potential and that further developnt was still possible.
However, feeling his Yuan Force drop to just over ten thousand units, Tao Yu couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Stronger...
At the expense of money...
But [Basic Breathing Technique - Modified] had already passed the halfway point of level 2, allowing for an even more abundant mobilization of Qi-Blood.
The [Myriad Flow Stance Skill - Modified] had also reached level 2, likewise increasing a bit of Qi-Blood and significantly improving flexibility and various other aspects of the body due to the efficiency of the Deification skill, which was definitely much better than the conditions posed by its regular version.
This hefty investnt was made in hopes of expediting the learning process for boxing, and then to get the boxing techniques to the introductory level!
Tao Yu had planned it out: Five Gate Boxing Techniques, two free slots, one at half price, he would purchase another, and then add one more 'skill loan' to complete the set!
He aid to master all five before entering the Abyss again, getting them Deified once more before returning to the Abyss to earn money.
Regardless of the difficulty of mastering the Five Gate Boxing Techniques or the learning cost, his primary goal was just to get them to an introductory level...
