Chapter 107: Ultimate Juggernaut Combat Build Mark 2
In the absence of an emergency arising, Benton was done with his spending spree of Sect Points. He’d just utilized a massive amount for improving himself and wanted to get used to the changes before adding any more. Besides, he’d overspent his personal allotment by quite a bit.
Unlike previous times when he’d dipped into the sect’s funds for his own use, he didn’t plan on paying the sect back. Instead, he thought of the expenditure as a bonus allocation and intended to go back to spending two of every ten points gained.
He did, however, need to determine his next steps for what direction to take his ultimate juggernaut combat build in order to spend those future points.
First up was Body Cultivation. Sixteen points would get him to the peak of Silver and another four would get him to Gold. If he wanted to max out his combat potential and he hadn’t yet met the requirements to advance to Nascent Soul, increasing his strength and toughness was a good option.
The problem was that Benton didn’t know if it was a good option long term. Body Cultivation was its own thing and not necessarily something used to supplement Spiritual Cultivation. Up through the peak of Golden Core, he was one hundred percent positive that each realm of Body Cultivation gained was an asset.
The question was what happened upon the transition to Nascent Soul?
Su had vaguely learned from his sect that cultivators got a new body upon reaching that realm. Benton had no idea if that remaking meant all the points he put into Body Cultivation would then become worthless or if the new body incorporated those benefits somehow.
The good thing was that he had a method to find out—create a technique on Nascent Soul cultivation just like he had for Golden Core. That idea was probably a good one, anyway.
An obvious area of immediate improvement was a shield for area of effect attacks. That weakness was his biggest vulnerability and should be high on his list to mitigate.
Adding new Concepts whenever he had the available points was definitely a good thing as well.
It also occurred to him that he now had a buttload of qi available, over half a million. He naturally regenerated five percent per hour, meaning that, if he used his entire pool, it would take him twenty hours to regain it all. That was a long time.
Of course, he had very little occasion to completely drain his qi pool to that point, so the high recharge time hadn’t been an issue. One idea he had might change the paradigm by giving him an outlet for unspent qi—creating spirit coins.
