DreamersGN Chapter 49 Completion of the Assessment
Chapter 49 Completion of the Assessment
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yuan ignored the martial arts secrets on the crystal wall and lay down on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
At this moment, deep within the ruins, inside a hall shrouded in dreamlike, colorful light.
Suddenly, a large amount of colorful light converged and quickly condensed into a human shape. It had a crystal-clear body and was the "Bald Crystal Man," a relic intelligence that appeared in the original work.
"The death test has just begun, and you're already lying down to sleep?" The bald crystal man's gaze seemed to pierce through all obstacles, staring directly at the scene inside the crystal room.
As the AI of this assessment base, possessing some emotions, it was puzzled by Chen Yuan's behavior.
"Is this person truly confident and invincible? Or is he detached from life and death? Or is he just a fool who treats the death test as a joke?" The bald crystal man silently observed Chen Yuan. "No matter what kind of person you are, if you fail the test when the three-year period is up, you will surely die."
"As the second apprentice in five thousand years to undergo the elite assessment, I hope you will behave yourself." After saying his last words, the bald crystal man transformed into a large amount of colorful light and disappeared from the palace.
Inside the crystal room, Chen Yuan was completely unaware of the commotion deep within the ruins.
Since the Gale Sword Technique has been perfected and the new secret technique has not yet been optimized, he can only focus on practicing the meditation method for the next two days.
For two whole days, Chen Yuan was immersed in meditation. When he opened his eyes again, the optimization task was just coming to an end.
Meditation Techniques: Origin Star Meditation - Introduction (5.86%)
Upon opening the panel, a notification indicating that the optimization task has been completed appears.
"Optimization task completed. The secret technique 'Swift Wind Sword Technique' has been optimized to 'Unnamed' (click to expand details)"
Chen Yuan couldn't wait to open the introduction of the new secret technique.
Unnamed: Combat-type arcane technique; Evaluation: Peak Planetary-level arcane technique. Built around the core concept of "Wind of Existence," this technique combines combat and enlightenment. Specific effects are as follows:
1. Increase the maximum power output by 30 times.
Second, with the concept of "Existence of Wind" as the core, integrate the branches of the concept of wind (current branches: Existence, Speed, Agility, Violence), and by driving different branches, you can show a variety of abilities.
Third, after collecting all nine branches of artistic conception, one can resonate with heaven and earth and form a domain by releasing the primal force.
Fourth, as proficiency increases, affinity with the Law of Wind increases. After the secret technique is perfected, affinity with the Law of Time is further increased.
After reading about the four effects of this new secret technique, Chen Yuan could not hide his joy.
The first one has a maximum power of 30 times, surpassing all other secret techniques on Earth (except for those from the Luo family), and is even considered a pinnacle among planetary-level secret techniques.
The third point is even more astonishing: as long as Chen Yuan collects all nine branches of the Wind Intent, he can possess a domain after reaching the planetary level, instantly becoming an invincible being of the same level.
The fourth characteristic is the most terrifying, as it allows one to increase their affinity with the laws through cultivation secret techniques, and it even involves the affinity with the laws of time!
"The Law of Time is a superior law. If I can grasp the basics of the Law of Time at the Eternal Star level, I'd have a very good chance of entering the core of the Virtual Universe Company." Chen Yuan pondered, looking at the panel. "However, what does this second rule mean? Does it drive different realm branches?"
As he inquired with the system, he quickly received the answer: his secret technique could generate different effects by driving different realm branches.
Based on the branches of artistic conception that Chen Yuan currently possesses, the system then listed the abilities of each branch for him.
The Wind of Existence: Reflecting on the Past
Swift Wind: 2.5x movement speed and attack speed
Agile Wind: 2.5 times the agility and reflexes of movement.
Violent Wind: 2.5x burst power
Looking at the data, a flash of understanding appeared in Chen Yuan's eyes.
It's actually quite simple. It involves integrating some of the artistic abilities he had previously mastered into the secret technique, turning them into an active skill. In addition to enhanced effects, these branch abilities of the secret realm can be further strengthened as the proficiency of the secret technique increases.
"So, can these branch abilities be used simultaneously?" Chen Yuan asked, voicing his concern. He worried that only one branch of intent could be activated at a time, which seemed less desirable than before.
Fortunately, the system's answer put his mind at ease; the answer was that they could be used simultaneously, and these different interpretations would not conflict.
"That's good!" Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that this secret technique is indeed powerful enough to deserve the evaluation of a planetary-level peak secret technique." Chen Yuan was overjoyed, then noticed the name of the secret technique, "It's that headache-inducing naming stage again."
Chen Yuan fell into thought, mainly because he wanted to come up with a name worthy of the power of this secret technique. It couldn't be like before, with names like Gale or Raging Wind, because those were just because the secret technique was too low-level, and he was too lazy to bother with them.
However, the power of this new secret technique met Chen Yuan's expectations, so he took the naming process very seriously.
"Hmm... the core of this secret technique is still wind. If I unify the essence of wind, it means I will continue to comprehend the branches of essence in the future." Thinking of this, Chen Yuan had a flash of inspiration: "Wind that unifies everything... how about calling it Thousand Winds!"
"Hmm, Thousand Winds Sword Technique doesn't sound good, and Thousand Winds Secret Technique isn't imposing enough... Let's call it 'Thousand Winds Secret Manual' instead."
With a thought, Chen Yuan changed the name of this secret technique to the Thousand Winds Secret Manual.
"Very good, then let's begin cultivating." Chen Yuan then clicked on the details of the Thousand Winds Manual. About two hours later, he finished reading all the content and started practicing.
Thousand Winds Manual: Combat-type secret technique; Rating: Peak Planetary-level secret technique; Current progress: Beginner (0.01%)
"Hmm, regarding the techniques for cultivating power generation, the movements in the Thousand Winds Secret Manual are somewhat similar to those in this basic martial arts secret technique. It seems that the optimization system is still greatly influenced by this secret technique." Chen Yuan compared the differences between the two secret techniques and found that although the core power generation was different, the basic movements were largely the same.
"That's fine. Although I don't know if the manager of this site will notice me, it's best to let him think that I'm practicing according to the instructions, to avoid any unexpected trouble."
So, after a big meal, Chen Yuan began to formally cultivate the Thousand Winds Secret Manual.
With the foundation laid by the Gale Sword Technique, Chen Yuan had already mastered the technique of exerting five times the force. Therefore, when he was practicing the Thousand Winds Secret Manual, his progress in the early stages was extremely rapid, and he broke through 50% proficiency in just three days.
However, after surpassing the threshold of 5 times the power, Chen Yuan's cultivation efficiency slowed down, but that was only compared to the rapid growth rate in the first three days; in reality, it was not slow.
Moreover, after cultivating for a few more days, Chen Yuan suddenly noticed the intelligent light brain on his arm. He slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered the virtual space he had forgotten!
So, in the following days, Chen Yuan honed his proficiency in the Thousand Winds Manual through the Trial Tower, while also attempting to clear the tower. With a lot of practical experience, his proficiency improved rapidly again. Although it couldn't compare to the beginning, his efficiency was more than double that of the following days.
Chen Yuan cultivated in the crystal room for a month until he felt he could break through the crystal wall, at which point he stopped.
Thousand Winds Manual: Current Progress: Proficient 21.37%
Power Level: 12
Enhancement of artistic conception: 3.9 times
Chen Yuan's gaze swept across the panel, a confident smile playing on his lips as he drew his sword toward the crystal wall.
"Gale!"
With a clear shout, the sword light streaked across like a meteor, unleashing a terrifying force more than 40 times greater than normal, giving the longsword invincible power as it slammed into the crystal wall.
With a loud bang, the crystal wall shattered!
