Chapter 372: Breakthrough
Chapter 372: Breakthrough
September 25, 2017
Within the Assembly Hall's Training Chamber, Lu HaiKong's eyes opened once more, and the mysterious scroll in his hand began to disintegrate into sand, gradually disappearing. As this happened, the Inner Strength within his body started to circulate.
At first, it flowed through his meridians like a gentle stream, slow yet unwavering. As Lu HaiKong regained consciousness, his eyes gradually cleared, and the flow of Inner Strength quickened.
Finally, when his Inner Strength reached its peak, Lu HaiKong felt as if the entire world before him had suddenly become crystal clear. Then, his Inner Strength returned to its tranquil state.
"Congratulations on successfully comprehending the mysterious scroll and mastering 'Sea-Shattering Strike'. You have broken through the limit of Strength, and your current Strength Value is 80."
"Congratulations on breaking through Level 4 of 'Ascending Dragon Purple Qi Technique'. Your four-dimensional attributes have significantly increased, and your Strength Value has been enhanced. Your current Strength Value is 82."
"Congratulations on comprehending the Heroic Trait: Unmatched Overlord!"
Three consecutive system notifications appeared, and Lu HaiKong slowly regained consciousness from his meditative state.
Having just awakened, Lu HaiKong was still a bit dazed. The comprehension of the mysterious scroll had been quite a trial, and he had gritted his teeth to endure it.
If asked what he had comprehended within, aside from perseverance, there was nothing else. However, after gritting his teeth and persisting to the end, as the scroll disintegrated into sand, the usage method of 'Sea-Shattering Strike' suddenly came to him.
This new knowledge felt more like a recollection of something he had always known, which made Lu HaiKong doubt whether he had needed to go through that comprehension process at all.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. The breakthroughs were achieved, the comprehension was complete, and there was even the unexpected joy of his 'Ascending Dragon Purple Qi Technique' reaching Level 4, directly boosting his Strength Value to 82 points.
However, to Lu HaiKong's dismay, he still couldn't explain how he had broken through the barrier of 80 Strength, even after experiencing it himself. His idea of using his own experience to help Zhao Er and the others advance was essentially abandoned.
This was only to be expected, though. The threshold of 80 Strength was a significant hurdle, not something one could easily leap over. It was already impressive to have crossed it himself; expecting to mass-produce such breakthroughs was unrealistic.
Lu HaiKong took a moment to compose himself and then opened the information about the Unmatched Overlord trait he had comprehended.
Unmatched Overlord: Active Trait. Upon activation, the Strength Value of the opposing general and soldiers is forcibly reduced by 3 points, while the Strength Value of one's own general and soldiers temporarily increases by 3 points.
Duration: 3/30 minutes
Ps: The former is the duration for the general's Strength reduction, and the latter is the initial duration for the soldiers' Strength reduction!
This trait is incredibly powerful. When activated, even Lu Bu's Strength would be reduced by 3 points, a terrifying effect.
Lu HaiKong was quite satisfied with this trait. After admiring it for a moment, he left the Training Chamber.
"How long have I been in seclusion?"
"One day and three hours," replied the Mountain Bandit Guard who had been standing watch outside.
"Just one day? That's not too bad."
Lu HaiKong then asked for a meal and hot water to be prepared. After bathing and eating, he grabbed the Savage Axe, donned the Dragon Soul Armor, and headed straight for the Training Ground at the Flowing Camp's Fort.
There were several Training Grounds in Lu HaiKong's Fort. The original one provided by the system was currently being used by Gao Shun's Sieging Army. The Fire Battalion also had its own Training Ground, and since Pan Feng and the Mountain Bandit Bodyguard had moved in, the Flowing Camp had built one as well.
If one were to speak of the most well-equipped training ground, it would undoubtedly be the one belonging to the Fire Battalion. However, among the members of the Fire Battalion, not many could exchange more than a move or two with Lu HaiKong in terms of Strength Value.
Having just achieved his breakthrough, Lu HaiKong naturally sought to find someone to spar with, or rather, to gauge his current abilities.
After much consideration, the obvious choice for Lu HaiKong was Pan Feng.
Currently, there were four individuals in the fort with a Strength Value above eighty, and the closest to Lu HaiKong was indeed Pan Feng. This fellow had been Lu HaiKong's sparring partner for a while, and due to his inexperience, he had always been at the receiving end of Lu HaiKong's practice sessions.
You'd think he'd show some restraint when sparring with his leader, but it seems he was asking for trouble. No sooner had Lu HaiKong's Strength Value broken through than he came looking for a fight.
Additionally, the Territory Dungeon was also nearby. Previously, Lu HaiKong had ordered Cheng Yi to lead the bandits to conquer a large fort, and he was curious about the results. So, he decided to take a look while he was there.
When Lu HaiKong arrived, Cheng Yi was still engaged in battle, having fought for more than a day without successfully capturing the large dungeon.
Lu HaiKong had only provided Cheng Yi with a portion of the Fire Battalion's troops, around five thousand bandits, and instructed him to do his best with these forces. What else could Cheng Yi do? He, too, was in despair, having fought for an entire day without success, and he was at his wit's end.
However, it seemed the battle was nearing its conclusion, and Lu HaiKong took this opportunity to warm up.
In the 1619th chapter, a look at the unerring version!
As Lu HaiKong's warm-up opponent, Pan Feng was initially delighted to oblige. Due to Dian Wei's powerful display against Lu Bu, he had been diligently training, and in his free time, he even dragged Pan Feng along for a few practice sessions, leaving Pan Feng utterly bewildered.
In this state of being dominated, when Pan Feng heard that Lu HaiKong wanted to spar with him, he was eager to participate.
Even though it was his lord, compared to being on the receiving end of a beating, wouldn't it be much more enjoyable to dish out the punishment?
With this thought in mind, Pan Feng grabbed his Masked Axe and joined the fight, only to be immediately overwhelmed by Lu HaiKong.
Being overwhelmed was a polite way of putting it; it should be described as being crushed.
After engaging with Pan Feng, Lu HaiKong realized that after comprehending the 'Sea-Shattering Strike,' his understanding of the 'Mountain Splitting Axe' had deepened even further. He could now execute it at will, and the strength of the strike could be controlled by the amount of time spent gathering strength. Even without gathering strength, the strike still possessed considerable power.
In this situation, Pan Feng was utterly dominated by Lu HaiKong.
This poor fellow had just escaped from the clutches of Dian Wei, only to turn around and face Lu HaiKong, who was in a playful mood and wanted to give him a beating. The outcome was even more unfortunate for Pan Feng.
In the end, Lu HaiKong even allowed him to use the Supreme General's Unmatched technique, and Pan Feng's Strength Value rose to eighty-eight points. Still, the result was tragic, as Lu HaiKong unleashed the Unmatched Overlord technique, suppressing Pan Feng's strength to eighty-five points, while Lu HaiKong's strength rose to eighty-five points, and he proceeded to deliver another brutal beating.
After the fight, Pan Feng immediately retreated to his training chamber.
This was truly an unbearable situation...
