Chapter 569: Strength Value of 90
Chapter 569: Strength Value of 90
September 25, 2017
Upon returning to Handan, Lu HaiKong immediately summoned Chen Ping.
Although Lu HaiKong had achieved significant gains in the battle, several of his generals were also severely battered while clashing with Zhang Liang.
There was no need to mention Dian Wei; his entire body was drenched in blood, and the sight of his mangled flesh was appalling.
Despite knowing that this big guy had a robust life force, Lu HaiKong instinctively asked Little Luzi to slow down when carrying him back.
Dian Wei was in a pitiful state, and Wen Chou and Gao Lan weren't much better.
Although neither of them had visible external injuries, clashing with Zhang Liang for several minutes had inflicted considerable internal damage on them.
In the past, Lu HaiKong could only rely on physicians to gradually nurse them back to health, but now, summoning Chen Ping was all that was needed.
With a single Revitalization Spell from Chen Ping, a green glow emanated from the bodies of Dian Wei, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, and Zhang Niugiao, who had nearly died from Dian Wei's strike.
Within this green glow, Wen Chou and Gao Lan fully recovered in just a few minutes.
Unexpectedly, after Gao Lan's injuries healed, his eyes flashed with intense determination, and an astonishing aura burst forth from his body!
At that moment, a system notification sounded.
"Your subordinate general Gao Lan has broken through a Strength Value of 90. You have successfully cultivated a top-tier general and obtained a Legendary Chest!"
Lu HaiKong was surprised that Gao Lan had broken through at this moment, and the system generously rewarded him with a Legendary Chest, an unexpected delight.
Soon after Gao Lan's breakthrough, Zhang Niugiao regained consciousness before Dian Wei.
As Zhang Niugiao suddenly woke up, seeing the group surrounding him, he became dazed and instinctively tried to flee.
But before he could move, Lu HaiKong's hand pressed down on his shoulder, immobilizing him.
Lu HaiKong was still in his Nirvana state, and with his Strength Value of 104, dealing with Zhang Niugiao was as easy as child's play. A casual punch to the guy's stomach knocked him unconscious again.
After Zhang Niugiao regained consciousness, it took some time, until Chen Ping's face turned pale, for Dian Wei to recover.
Although Dian Wei had recovered, he still appeared weak, clearly suffering from the aftereffects of his berserk state. Fortunately, there were no major issues, and a few days of rest would suffice.
After treating the injuries of Dian Wei and the others, Lu HaiKong went straight to the training ground and ordered his men to seal it off, allowing no one to enter.
Another reason for Lu HaiKong's departure was his current physical condition. It wasn't that his body was in poor shape; on the contrary, it was in the best shape it could be.
The Phoenix Tear's activation of Nirvana did not consume Lu HaiKong's life force or potential. After all, no matter how perverted Lu HaiKong was, even if he poured all his life force into it, he wouldn't have the ability to achieve Nirvana.
What Nirvana consumed was the energy within the Phoenix Tear, specifically, the drop of crystal-clear blood-red Phoenix True Blood that had merged with Lu HaiKong's forehead.
Lu HaiKong didn't delve into whether there truly was a Phoenix in this world or if that substance was genuine Phoenix True Blood.
His real concern was that as the drop of Phoenix True Blood merged with his body, while his strength soared to an incredible level, Lu HaiKong discovered that his body was also being transformed by this Phoenix True Blood.
As time passed, he felt his body strengthening at an incredible rate.
In this state, after the Nirvana effect ended, Lu HaiKong's physical strength alone might reach an unimaginable level, and he could even directly break through his martial prowess to level 90.
However, Lu HaiKong didn't desire such a breakthrough, as it was too rapid and relied on external means. Advancing to level 90 with an unstable foundation might hinder future progress.
Well, here's another one of those damn rich players' quirks. If other sages had some artifact to break through level 80, who cared about the future consequences? Some sages considered breaking through level 80 quite an achievement.
But what choice did Lu HaiKong have? His natural talent was exceptional, and he possessed abundant resources.
Anyone in Lu HaiKong's situation would inevitably pursue a perfect advancement like him.
Unfortunately, Lu HaiKong's decision to advance or not was no longer his to make. In this case, he could only strive to solidify his foundation as much as possible.
Upon entering the training grounds, Lu HaiKong didn't choose to cultivate the "Purple Qi Ascending Dragon Scripture" or practice the "Fundamental Axe Technique" he had been working on recently. Instead, he practiced the "Body Tempering Technique" he had researched and cultivated for a long time.
Lu HaiKong had been researching this technique for over a year, making it the longest-studied martial art in his repertoire. He had gained profound insights into this set of fist techniques.
With his current realm and the power of Nirvana, even breaking through to level 90 should allow him to better solidify his foundation.
A glance at the book revealed no errors.
Thinking thus, Lu HaiKong assumed a stance and leisurely began practicing the Body Tempering Technique.
This set of techniques had a hint of Tai Chi, characterized by slow and steady movements, emphasizing the realm of the practitioner.
In reality, Lu HaiKong hadn't fully developed this set of techniques yet.
According to Lu HaiKong's design and research, this set of techniques should enhance the cultivator's potential. Once fully developed, Lu HaiKong would create a simplified version for dissemination within the army.
However, based on Lu HaiKong's current progress, it would likely take over half a year.
Lu HaiKong's practice of the Body Tempering Technique lasted for five hours.
As the Nirvana effect gradually wore off, Lu HaiKong's martial prowess started to decline.
His strength gradually returned from 104 to 89. During this process, Lu HaiKong felt that his terrifying power didn't disappear but seeped into his very bones, becoming his potential.
From this perspective, the "Phoenix Tear" was indeed an existence that defied the heavens.
Temporarily boosting Lu HaiKong's strength to 104 not only didn't deplete his vitality but also nourished him.
After the Nirvana effect faded, Lu HaiKong still felt refreshed and more vibrant than ever.
Most importantly, when the Nirvana effect disappeared, Lu HaiKong's martial prowess officially broke through to level 90.
[Congratulations on breaking through to level 90 in martial prowess and becoming a top-tier general. You have received a random reward.]
