An hour later.
Lying on the floor, Tang Ling was sound asleep a second ago, but in the next second, he opened his eyes abruptly.
The moment he opened his eyes, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, but he woke up in less than half a second.
Jumping up from the floor, Tang Ling dashed into the washroom. With the cold water splashing on his head, his brain was back to its peak condition.
It was a special skill that he had cultivated in the Hope Barrier, and it was still useful even now.
After wiping the water off his head, Tang Ling walked to the workbench with a serious expression. This time, he was going to carve two body arrays on his body with the real materials.
One was a Level 1 basic body array.
The other was a lightning fire compound array that he had derived himself.
"Body arrays are usually divided into two categories. One is the basic type and the other is the ability type.
"The basic type refers to the body arrays that can enhance various basic abilities like the array of strength and speed. There are also compound arrays like the array of strength and agility. The best basic formation is called the energy array. It can enhance a human's various basic abilities, including but not limited to strength, speed, reflexes, and so on. "
Tang Ling inhaled deeply. He did not carve the body array on the workbench repeatedly to increase his confidence. Instead, he started to recite some basic knowledge about the body array in his mind.
Since he could only study on his own without any guidance from a teacher, some of his questions could not be answered.
For example, carving an energy array could enhance a human's various abilities, including but not limited to strength, speed, and so on. What about his spirit? Was his spirit also one of the basic abilities? Could the energy array be enhanced?
Unfortunately, there was no one to answer him. Tang Ling planned to use the materials on hand to carve a Level 1 energy array on his body, but it was only a one-time use.
It would last for 30 minutes, and after that, the body array would disappear.
"How extravagant." Tang Ling picked up the array pen and took off his shirt, revealing his muscular chest. He could not help but exclaim when he saw the precious materials before him.
As a matter of fact, the materials could be used in a less extravagant manner, such as carving a permanent entry-level basic body array.
Based on his current familiarity with the body array, coupled with his Precise Instinct, it was entirely possible for him to carve out a beginner level energy array. It was not just a simple single element body array or a higher level compound basic body array.
However, there was a limit to the number of body formations that could be carved on a person's body, and he was unwilling to waste a single spot on a beginner level basic formation.
Therefore, he could only choose a one-time array formation.
According to the standard, this set of materials could only be used by a novice. Moreover, it had to be a genius novice who was extremely lucky to be able to inscribe a Level 1 Compound Basic Body Array.
However, Tang Ling was prepared to challenge the energy array. Otherwise, it would be a waste of his Precise Instinct.
After all, theoretically speaking, this set of materials was barely enough to draw a level-1 energy array. The key was the level of a body array master.
Tang Ling used the sharp end of the formation pen to cut the skin on his arm. Drops of blood gushed out from under the skin.
He carefully dripped his blood onto the materials of the body array. The blood instantly blended into it, causing the powder-like materials to emit a hazy light.
Tang Ling picked up the formation pen, dipped it into the materials, and started to draw the first formation pattern on his chest.
The basic body array could only be carved on the chest, abdomen, and back. Even if Tang Ling was a deity, he could not carve a body array on his back.
With the help of his Precise Instinct, the process of carving the formation was smoother than Tang Ling expected.
If there were other body array masters around, they would gasp in surprise. Every stroke, every hook, and every turn of Tang Ling's body array was exactly the same as the one on the body array diagram. There was not a single mistake.
It was the effect of his Precise Instinct, but Tang Ling was not satisfied with it.
He felt like his next step should be to use his Precise Instinct to locate the weak energy in the body array diagram or the spot where the energy flow was not smooth. Perfecting the body array diagram was his ideal state.
After all, the same level of body array diagram would have a 30% difference in effectiveness.
It meant that for the same level of body array diagram, the difference between the worst and the best would be as much as 60%.
What a terrifying difference it was! Unfortunately, even the most powerful body array master could not achieve a perfect 30% increase in effectiveness every single time. However, Tang Ling had the ambition to achieve the perfect state as a normal state.
Of course, his Precise Instinct had to be able to see the flow of energy like the last time he used the war seed.
As his thoughts ran through his mind, Tang Ling completed the last stroke of the formation pattern.
Then, he turned the formation pen around and used the sharp end of the pen to carve on the few lines that he had drawn.
As his skin was cut open, blood oozed out from his chest and fused with the few lines.
Following this step, the body array immediately seemed to come to life. Waves of energy could be felt flowing within it. However, the key nodes between them had yet to connect.
Tang Ling's expression did not change at all. He quickly picked up the needle on the workbench and pierced through the 37 nodes on the energy array.
As the blood gushed out from the nodes, the energy of the energy array started to flow smoothly.
All that was left was the last step, which was to draw the last magic symbol in the center of the formation.
Tang Ling took a deep breath and picked up the formation pen again. He carefully drew the last magic symbol in the center of the formation before he put the pen away calmly.
As Tang Ling put the pen down, the Level 1 energy array that he drew on his chest glowed faintly before it quickly faded away. It was hidden under his skin and turned into a faint red like a blood tattoo.
I did it! Tang Ling's eyes showed a tinge of joy, but he quickly returned to normal.
Without his teacher or any other body array master, Tang Ling had no idea how amazing he had been.
"From the entry level basic body array to the Level 3 basic body array, they are collectively known as the Pattern Array. From the Level 4 basic body array to the Level 7 basic body array, they are collectively known as the Helmet Array. From the Level 8 basic body array to the Level 11 basic body array, they are collectively known as the Shadow Array. It means that with such a body array, the user will feel like he or she is fighting with his or her own shadow. As for the Level 12 and Level 13 basic body array, they are collectively known as the God Array. Almost no body array master can do it.
"According to the classification, a Level 1 energy array can increase the user's basic strength by 30%. That's the basic number, and if it's perfect, it can increase it to 60%. If it's the worst broken array, it can't even increase 1%. How much can the energy array that I drew increase my strength by? "
Tang Ling had already reached the strength of eight bulls. Even if he could only increase it by 30%, it would be more than the strength of nine bulls.
For some unknown reason, after reaching the strength of eight bulls, it was hard for Tang Ling to increase his strength. The extra energy was stored in his dantian and he could not utilize it.
If he could feel the strength of nine bulls through the Level 1 energy array, would it help him break through the bottleneck?
With the thought in mind, Tang Ling was a little excited. He could not wait to test the power of the Level 1 energy array that he drew.
However, he could not do it at the moment!
Once the one-time Level 1 energy array was activated, it could only last for 30 minutes. Tang Ling still needed some time to draw the compound Thunder Fire Array that he derived, so he could not activate the Level 1 energy array at the moment.
With that in mind, Tang Ling calmed himself down and opened the remaining two sets of materials. One was for the fire body array, and the other was for the thunder body array.
"Other than the basic body array, any other type of body array is called an ability body array. The ability body array is all-encompassing and has different effects. Interestingly enough, it's like the different talent abilities of the Purple Moon Warriors in the Purple Moon era.
"The ability body array is also divided into one-time and permanent. There's no limit to where you can draw it, but depending on the effect, it'll be drawn at a specific spot and the effect will be better.
"Unlike the basic body array, the ability body array is divided into seven levels! The highest level of the ability body array can't compare to the power of a talent that has a profound understanding of the talent. For example, the Level 7 Fire Array can't compare to the fire attack of a high-rank fire talent.
"Therefore, the ability body array can only be used as a support in battle or as a weapon. In terms of effect, it's not as good as the basic body array. All the body array masters are advised to focus on the ability body array unless they've reached the end of the path of the basic body array or have reached a bottleneck.
"Of course, the ability body array doesn't mean that there's no room for improvement. For example, all kinds of abilities can complement each other or repel each other. All of them can be used together to bring out the effect of one plus one is greater than two.
"The compound ability body array is the path that the body array masters who research ability body arrays are pursuing."
The basic knowledge about the ability body array flashed in Tang Ling's mind. He did not know whether his talent in the field was average since he had spent a few days to derive a compound Thunder Fire Array.
Regardless, Tang Ling was looking forward to the power of the compound Thunder Fire Array. Since it was a compound formation, it would not be a beginner level body array. It would at least reach the power of a Level 1 body array.
With that in mind, Tang Ling picked up the array pen again.
No matter how many times he succeeded in drawing the virtual materials, he could not fully demonstrate the true power of the body array that was drawn with real materials.
While Tang Ling was looking forward to the results, his heart started to feel anxious. It was an instinctive reaction.
He knew something must have happened in the outside world, so he had to seize the moment.
