Chapter 804: Preparing to Advance to Tier 3 (7)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
To be honest, Zhao Yu had a clear understanding of his own strength. After reaching Third Tier, he would have some ability to protect himself in Moon City.
However, if he went to Qian City directly, there would be Fourth Tier Fighter existences there. It would be a bad situation.
“I’m not doing this to complete the mission. I’m doing this for your own good!” Xu Chang Qing shook his head.
“What do you mean?” Zhao Yu asked in confusion.
“Why do you think I was able to surpass all the Qilin Children in Moon City and advance to the fourth year before heading to Qian City?”
“I don’t know!” Zhao Yu shook his head.
Zhao Yu had advanced from the lower realm and did not understand the cultivation system here, so Xu Chang Qing simply began to explain.
“Second Tier is also known as the Blood Qi Realm. It mainly uses one’s powerful physical fitness to condense Qi and Blood energy attacks…”
“However, there is a limit to the physical fitness of an individual human. There is also a limit to the amount of Qi and blood that can be condensed…”
“For someone like you who has double limits, the maximum Vitality value at the level of Rank Five is only 1,600 points…”
“Other than that, if you want to increase your strength, you will need to rely on external objects or combat skills…”
“Of course, this is not the most important thing…”
“Let me tell you about the situation of the third tier…”
“The third stage has multiple names…”
“Here in Moon City, the third stage is called the Condensed Qi Realm..”
“In other small towns, it’s generally called the True Qi Realm…”
“And in Qian City, it’s known as the Enlightened Realm…”
Xu Chang Qing smiled and said, “The names may seem numerous, but each is fitting in its way, just to different degrees…”
“Relatively speaking, the naming in small towns is more objective; the third tier is indeed the True Qi Realm, but it’s somewhat simplistic…”
“And for Moon City, calling the third tier the Condensed Qi Realm is also correct…”
Zhao Yu listened, completely confused, not understanding what he was saying.
Xu Chang Qing didn’t keep him guessing and directly said, “The different names actually reflect the regional limitations of perception…”
“Those in the third tier fighter practice heaven level techniques…”
“In small towns, even high-rank earth-level techniques are hard to come by, let alone heaven level techniques, so they call the third tier the True Qi realm…”
“And here in Moon City, do you know the grade of techniques used by the third tier fighter of the five major families?!”
Zhao Yu was taken aback and guessed, “Heaven level high rank?!”
“Wrong!”
Xu Chang Qing shook his head, “Heaven level mid rank!”
“Huh?!”
Zhao Yu was a bit surprised, finding it lower than he had imagined.
“Actually, most minor families in Moon City use only low-rank heaven level techniques, and that’s already quite an achievement…”
“Only the five major families and a few large families compared to them have mid-rank heaven level techniques…”
“The reason I was able to surpass the Qilin children of many families at the third tier is because I practiced a top-rank heaven level technique!”
“What?!”
Zhao Yu was astonished. He hadn’t expected Xu Chang Qing’s technique to be so much higher than those of the five major families.
“I can’t tell you the source of my technique, but I can tell you about the differences between heaven level techniques…”
“Heaven Level Cultivation Technique, also known as the Enlightenment Realm of skill…”
“As the name suggests, it involves finding a spiritual aperture within our body that can store Qi and blood…”
“Store Qi and blood within it, and then release it all at once during battle…”
“Imagine this, with the same 1600 Vitality value, if you have ten apertures within your body, you can store 16,000 Qi and blood energy. Correspondingly, wouldn’t your combat power be incredibly strong?!”
Zhao Yu imagined it. This wasn’t just strong; it was extremely strong.
After all, compared to Qi and blood attacks, the human body is quite fragile. Without corresponding Qi and blood defenses, even a slight Qi and blood attack is enough to kill a person.
If he had ten apertures storing over 10,000 Qi and blood energy, he could easily kill ten Wu Tian.
“So, the difference in the grades of Heaven Level Cultivation Techniques lies in the degree of aperture development…”
“Heaven Level Low-rank Techniques can develop nine apertures per level. The three stages – primary, intermediate, advanced, and ultimate – the King Slaying Stage, make up four levels, totaling thirty-six apertures…”
“Heaven Level Mid-rank Techniques can develop eighteen apertures per level…”
“So many?!”
Zhao Yu was surprised to find that Heaven Level Mid-rank Techniques could develop twice as many apertures as Heaven Level Low-rank Techniques.
No wonder the five major families could maintain their dominance. In terms of strength, they far outclassed the third-tier experts of the smaller families.
“That’s right!”
Xu Chang Qing smiled, “Heaven Level High-rank Techniques can develop twenty-seven apertures per level, totaling one hundred and eight apertures across four levels…”
“And Heaven Level Extreme Techniques can develop thirty-six apertures per level, totaling one hundred and forty-four apertures…”
“This is why I am stronger than others, and why, despite being invincible at the third tier in Moon City, I went to Qian City for three years and remained at the third tier…”
Zhao Yu suddenly understood, “So, when you were competing as a fourth-year student, you had already developed over seventy-two apertures?!”
“Not quite, at that time I only had over sixty. It’s just that the other members of the five major families weren’t up to par…”
“And now?!” Zhao Yu asked curiously.
“Now…”
Xu Chang Qing smiled and said, “Now, it’s almost complete.. Once I take you back to Qian City, I’ll be just about ready to reach the fourth tier!”
