Chapter 607 - 194: Patch Update, Nationwide Cultivation
Combat Skill Introduction: Originating from the ancient strong clan ’Wind Breath Clan’ of Monster World, this top-tier cultivation method, once embedded, grants a complete set of cultivation organs: Wind Breath Liver, Wind Breath Heart, Wind Breath Stomach, Wind Breath Lung... These cultivation organs can assist the Lifeforce Inhalation Soul in converting spiritual energy into Wind Breath Energy.
Spiritual Energy Absorption Efficiency: 308.7
Body Refining Enhancement Efficiency: 1032
Combat Skill Attached Trait: Wind Breath Research Lv0 (0/10000)
Introduction: Following the cultivation level, you can acquire the combat skill talent ’Wind Breath Research’. Each time you endure wind elemental damage, you can gain wind element resistance points, with the specific limit affected by the talent level of the combat skill. Level 1 Wind Breath Research can acquire up to 800 wind element resistance points (direct immunity to wind elemental damage below 800 points, unable to exempt rule-based wind elemental damage).
Autonomous Cultivation Mode Consumption: 390/hour (idle cultivation).
Price: 2.1 million sacrificial power points.
...
The price for making a complete set of cultivation organs unexpectedly reached 2.1 million.
It’s practically robbery!
But the strength of this combat skill is indeed very high.
Once embedded, you can feel a light airflow flowing through every inch of the body, as if the whole person has become weightless.
With each breath, one can faintly hear the sound of wind echoing within the body.
After activating the hundredfold cultivation speed, a cool sensation arises throughout the body, as if standing atop a high mountain, breathing only the pure air of the heavens and earth.
An unprecedented feeling of freedom rises within, as if every part of the body has transformed into wind, ready to rise with the wind and soar upwards at any moment.
This is a Wind Control skill, discovered after entering the test scene.
After acquiring the ’Wind Breath Research’ talent, you can perform defenses like Qi Die, increase action efficiency, and even easily fly with the wind.
This piqued Dark Night Will Come’s curiosity, and he instinctively looked at the hovering guide next to him and asked:
"Brother Guide, what is the difference between this Wind Breath Research combat skill and Wind-Controlling Soul?"
Facing the inquiry, the guide closed his eyelids halfway:
[The difference is substantial, it can be explained using ’source’ and ’surface appearance’. The Wind-Controlling Soul is the embodiment of wind rules in the world, while Wind Breath Research relies on wind power to perform techniques. To use a more vivid metaphor, Wind Control is like a God who controls the source of the wind, while Wind Breath Research is more like a mortal using the skills of sailing with a wind sail.]
[Wind Breath Research is essentially a way of transforming the body into a constitution suitable for harnessing wind power, actively adapting to wind elements and then using them.]
[But Wind Control requires no complex processes; controlling the wind is just a command.]
Seeing Dark Night Will Come fall into contemplation, the guide reached out and pointed forward, generating a light screen.
In the light screen’s image, Qi Die stood atop a mountain peak, feathers fluttering in the wind, surrounded by countless tiny wind vortices.
As Qi Die breathed, the surrounding airflow quickly flowed, gradually forming an invisible wind wall.
Without needing specific gestures to invoke the wind elements of heaven and earth, the wind naturally obeyed Qi Die’s will, and when Qi Die opened his eyes, a fierce wind rose, altering the colors of the sky and earth, tearing through thick clouds and sweeping over the land.
[This is Wind Control, requiring no complex actions; what you want the wind to do only needs a thought.]
At this moment, the image in the light screen shifts, showing a humanoid figure holding a peculiar tool on the mountaintop.
Muttering incantations, a swirling airflow gathers at the top of the tool, and with his swing, the airflow turns into a wind blade, rushing toward the sea of clouds ahead.
After exhibiting subsequent abilities, the humanoid figure relies on wind’s lift when flying, depends on wind blades’ outlines when attacking, and constructs wind walls for defense.
Although the humanoid figure can control the wind, he always maintains a sense of distance from it.
After watching the demonstration, Dark Night Will Come nodded in realization:
"I understand. Wind-Controlling Soul is the source of wind. When embedded with the Wind-Controlling Soul, one becomes one with the wind; the wind is me, and I am the wind."
"If the ability is obtained through Wind Breath Research’s special constitution, it’s merely the manifestation of wind, relying on wind power, more like a follower of the wind."
[Exactly.]
"No, embedding the Fourth Generation Soul only costs 12 thousand sacrificial power points. Why is this divine-grade combat skill less valuable than the Wind-Controlling Soul, yet priced at 2.1 million sacrificial power points?"
[Because embedding Wind Control does not allow autonomous cultivation, the majority of the 2.1 million sacrificial power points are consumed in the construction of cultivation organs. The Wind Breath Clan’s effort, time, energy, and resource consumption in crafting such adaptable organs far exceed the cost of 2.1 million.]
[Secondly, the true value of Wind-Controlling Soul far surpasses these divine-grade battle skills. Any cultivation battle skills are merely tools supporting growth, but even the First Generation Soul represents rule power. The cost of creating a rule far exceeds your imagination, with sacrificial power consumption comparable to astronomical numbers.]
"Is there a difference between rules and non-rules?" Dark Night Will Come continued to inquire.
[Before explaining this issue, let me ask you a question: Have you noticed an unusual issue after so many encounters with the Combat Insect Clan?]
Upon hearing this, Dark Night Will Come fell into contemplation.
Before long, he realized the problem:
"The Insect Race cannot become immune to the damage of our players’ Life Soul Characteristic by collecting pheromones."
[Right, that’s the problem. Rules represent a power that directly touches the world’s origin, capable of influencing the laws of the world’s operation. This power is not just simple energy manipulation; the consumed energy is more a medium driving this rule. Using rules can break conventions and even redefine the concept of ’common sense’.]
