Chapter 74: Chapter 74, Women Are the Biggest Enemies
Translator: 549690339
When Lu Yun opened his eyes again, the sun was setting, covering mountains and fields in a sea of red.
He felt recurring throbbing pain and dizzy in his head, as if he had participated in the battle recorded in the memory.
“No wonder the conception is so hard to comprehend, it lasted an entire day and even drained my spirit to such an extent!”
Focusing his attention, he did not immediately enter a state of recuperation but instead, called up the status panel with deep concentration.
[Name]:Lu Yun
[Force]:Flying Spirit Martial Academy
[Martial Arts]:Breaking Wind Saber Technique (Perfection, No more upgrades), Mix Origin Technique (Perceive Truth, No more upgrades), Pure Yang Aura (Perceive Truth, No more upgrades), Seven Kill Saber Technique (Reach Profound, No more upgrades), Black Tiger Saber Technique (Great accomplishment 13%), Gale Thunder Flash Step (Small achievement 1%)
[Innate Talent]:Level 6
[Martial Arts]:Meridian Passage Realm Peak (14 Meridians: 12 normal channels, Yin Channel, Du Yang Meridian)
[Energy Value] :230
[Conception]:Slaughter Conception (First Rank 1%)
In the panel.
There’s hardly any change in martial arts, except that the Seven Kill Saber Technique has been upgraded to the Reach Profound level and cannot be further upgraded, indicating that the saber technique has reached its limit.
“What, only 230 energy values are left?!”
When his attention fell on the energy value, Lu Yun’s body trembled slightly, his face full of shock and disbelief.
After upgrading the Pure Yang Aura to Perceive Truth, there were more than 900 energy values left.
The upgrade of the Seven Kill Saber Technique from Perfection to Reach Profound only consumed 200 energy values.
Theoretically, there should be more than 700 energy values left.
But now, the energy values have been reduced by about 500, driving Lu Yun almost insane.
What are energy values? They are his direct guarantee for strength enhancement!
But now, 500 energy values have disappeared out of nowhere, how could he not rage over it?
“Huh?”
Just as Lu Yun was about to go mad, his attention was suddenly caught by the last entry on the panel.
[Conception]Slaughter Conception (First Rank 1%)
“Could it be that the lost energy values were due to the Slaughter Conception?”
“If that’s the case, it would be an unexpected gain.”
Slaughter Conception is the conception comprehended after refining the Seven Kill Saber Technique to the extreme.
If the disappearance of energy values is related to the Slaughter Conception, then energy values can likewise be used for upgrading.
At this thought, Lu Yun’s mind moved slightly and he began to add points to the Slaughter Conception.
After consuming ten energy values, the bar of progress for the Slaughter Conception showed no change and remained at the First Rank 1%.
Without hesitation, Lu Yun continued to add points.
After consuming ten energy values, there was still no change.
Lu Yun frowned slightly and continued to add points.
After consuming fifty energy values, the progress bar of the Slaughter Conception finally changed, becoming First Rank 2%.
“It seems that the previous loss of energy values was indeed due to the conception.”
Lu Yun contemplated in secret.
Even though he understood the reason, he still couldn’t suppress his shock.
A total of fifty energy values only improved the Slaughter Conception by a single percent.
That is to say, to improve the Slaughter Conception to the Second Rank, at least 5000 energy values would be needed.
This consumption well exceeded his expectations.
But, it also indirectly showed the terror of the Slaughter Conception.
“It seems my understanding of conception is still too limited, I have to find time to visit the Book Collection Pavilion to do more research.”
The Martial Academy’s Book Collection Pavilion not only has martial arts and cultivation techniques, but also a wide range of miscellaneous books.
Having been in the Martial Academy for several months, Lu Yun had only been to the Book Collection Pavilion twice. On both occasions, he left in a hurry after selecting his martial arts, without looking at other ‘miscellaneous books’.
If it were a normal time, he would indeed feel that the miscellaneous books are of little use, nothing is more important than adding points and improving strength.
However, with the enhancement of his strength and the emergence of the Slaughter Conception, Lu Yun realized that he had lots of questions regarding martial arts.
Doubts are the biggest taboo in martial arts.
Having made the decision, Lu Yun quickly calmed his mind and completely entered into recuperation.
Previously, integrating memories and personally experiencing the process of comprehending the Slaughter Conception used up a lot of his spiritual power, requiring time to recover.
When the first ray of dawn came.
Lu Yun woke up from his state of meditation.
As legend has it, the air rising from the east with the sun is of purplish-red light, also known as “purple energy coming from the east”. Absorbing and refining this first strain of purple air would greatly benefit the cultivation.
Lu Yun opened his mouth to absorb and refine.
However, there was no movement.
“Could it be that the amount of aura stored in my body is so unbelievable, so that when this strain of purple aura enters my belly it’s like mud entering the sea, not causing any ripples?”
Shaking his head slightly, Lu Yun stood up.
Still at the same place, looking down.
There were still steep cliffs, strange pines and ancient vines, slopes of autumn mountains crisscrossed, and the range of mountains in the distance under the morning sun.
This time, everything was so clear, the beautiful scene seemed so close.
Lu Yun knew that his vision had improved again, and his spiritual power had also greatly increased.
This time the Pure Yang Aura was upgraded to the Perceive Truth, the Seven Kill Saber Technique upgraded to Reach Profound, the conception of Slaughter formed.
Such massive improvements have not only significantly increased his strength and essence.
Even physical strength, vision, and spiritual power have also been improved.
Feeling the overall improvement, Lu Yun felt much more enlightened.
After returning from the rear mountain, he saw many academy students walking in groups, they were either going on a mission together, going to the Myriad Phenomena Tower to test their improvement, or going to the county capital to have fun.
“Look, it’s Lu Yun!”
“Junior Brother Lu.”
Many academy students greeted warmly when they saw Lu Yun.
Others who have only heard of Lu Yun’s reputation and not seen him in person also gathered around to get a glimpse of the touted genius in the Martial Academy and even the whole Spirit Martial Prefecture.
If others treat me with a smile, 1 will reciprocate with a smile, this is Lu Yun’s principle.
Thus, a smile also appeared on Lu Yun’s face, responding to everyone.
“Ah! Junior Brother Lu actually smiled at me!”
Seeing Lu Yun not being aloof and arrogant like other geniuses, the academy students were overjoyed when Lu Yun responded with a smile. They sighed as they watched Lu Yun leave, “It turns out not all geniuses are cold, some are gentle and approachable.”
“Not only is Junior Brother Lu gentle, he is also good-looking, I wonder which lucky junior sister will get him in the future!”
Several female students even sighed regretfully: “Just regret that I was born too late, and you too old!”
After the transformation, Lu Yun’s hearing improved and he hadn’t walked far, so all these comments reached his ears, startling him to accelerate his pace.
Although he had the memories of more than twenty years in his previous life, he is still very young now, he has never even touched a girl’s hand.
Hearing such cheesy pick-up lines and feeling the eyes on his back, he couldn’t help but be a little flustered.
After walking far away, Lu Yun finally regained his calmness.
“Indeed, women are the biggest enemies, I must be careful in the future!”
