Spiritual Realm Rule Notifications:
"You have made a breakthrough in the Class Classic: The Art of War, Part One. You are currently at the Proficient Level (Part One)."
"You have leveled up to Level 13."
"Due to the tempering of your body by The Art of War, your strength and dexterity have increased by 15 points each. Your physique has increased by 10 points. Your spirit has increased by 5 points."
"Your True Inner Force has increased by 330 points. Your current True Inner Force limit is 2,041 points."
"You have learned a new skill: Spiritual Power Coordination."
"You've already learnt the Commander-type skill 'Array Formation', and a new compound formation: Water Mirror Formation."
This string of notifications made Bai Xiaowen rather excited, but at the same time, he noticed something different.
For example, the increase in his attributes was different from when he had broken through to Level 12. Bai Xiaowen remembered very clearly that his strength, dexterity, and physique had increased by 10 points each, and his spirit had increased by 15 points.
However, this time, his strength and dexterity, which were his weak points, had increased by 15 points each. His physique had increased by 10 points, which was considered average, and his spirit, which was his strongest point, had only increased by 5 points.
Bai Xiaowen pondered for a while, but he could not figure out the reason.
It seems that the tempering of my body by the Class Classic will gradually balance my attributes. However, there was no such trend when I was at Level 12.
I don't care so much. The increase in my strength and dexterity is also beneficial. It can strengthen my personal combat power.
Level 13 was a critical level. It was the limit of a beginner evolver.
Level 14 was the next step, and one would be an intermediate evolver. This was also the dividing line between rookies and strong evolvers.
Generally speaking, a beginner evolver would need a long time to reach Level 13. For example, Li Feng, who had been controlled by Bai Xiaowen, had spent a full year to reach Level 12 from Level 11.
Bai Xiaowen's speed of advancement was not only due to his outstanding comprehension ability, which made him a veritable genius, but also because of the high-level and high-quality Enlightenment Light Orbs that he had obtained when he was stirring up trouble in the Spiritual Realm.
Bai Xiaowen had used the Enlightenment Light Orbs several times, so he had a deep understanding of the differences in quality of the Enlightenment Light Orbs.
The Elite-Grade Epiphany Ball was completely different from the Hero-Grade Epiphany Ball. Not to mention the Lord-level Light Orb of Insight, which was determined by the level of the completed side mission and the evolver's "ability to cause trouble".
It was only the second time that Bai Xiaowen had entered the Shaoxing Plane, but he was able to trigger multiple Lord-tier and even Epic-tier (King-tier) side quests. This was the epitome of his ability to cause trouble. Of course, some of it was due to luck. For example, he met Chen Rong, a humanoid mission board. However, Bai Xiaowen's high charm and intuition for missions were also crucial. Not every posthuman who met Chen Rong would be able to gain her trust or even admiration and unlock subsequent quests.
As for the elite 4A light orb, it was much stronger than the elite 3A light orb. This was determined by the completion rate of the side mission. It depended on the evolver's ability to dig deep into the mission and solve problems.
So far, Bai Xiaowen had achieved a 100% completion rate and a 104% completion rate. This was the reason why he was able to rise from level 12 to level 13 so quickly.
Sinking his consciousness into his mind, Bai Xiaowen continued to read "Tai Gong's Art of War."
Normally, "Tai Gong's Art of War" should have shown Bai Xiaowen the "middle part" content. Then, after Bai Xiaowen cultivated the middle part to the "beginner" level, he would be able to rise to level 14 and become a mid-level evolver.
However, when Bai Xiaowen's consciousness browsed, he found that the "middle part" that should have appeared was still empty.
"Strange, why isn't the middle part shown? It's blank. How am I going to cultivate? "
Bai Xiaowen was puzzled. Could it be that he had obtained a fake book?
Bai Xiaowen did not want to waste his brain cells if he could not figure out the problem. He turned his attention to another class book. He had only cultivated the "Taixu Sutra" to the first level. There was still a lot of room for improvement. He did not have to worry about not having enough light orbs of insight.
The increase in the upper limit of his True Inner Force further increased Bai Xiaowen's endurance and explosive power. Now, his True Inner Force had entered the "2K Club". He was qualified to be a level 13 Lord. However, he still needed to work harder to become a King-level Master.
The ability "Spiritual Energy Coordination" was a knowledge-type ability that Bai Xiaowen had already learned when he was cultivating. He already knew how to control the spiritual energy of his personal guards and direct troops to create a resonance. He could also guide his troops to attack in the same direction at the same time to form a powerful joint attack.
However, Spiritual Energy Coordination was not something that could be used by just randomly picking a troop. It required a period of time to practice.
There was also the compound formation "Water Mirror Formation." It was a combination of the two cornerstone formations, "Solid Wall Formation" and "Grand Wind Formation." Under the Water Mirror Formation, it had the advantages of both formations. It had a certain increase in mobility and a certain increase in defensive spiritual energy. Of course, the value of each increase was not as good as the two cornerstone formations mentioned above.
However, the Water Mirror Formation was still a very good formation. It was suitable for when two armies were facing each other. This was because under the Water Mirror Formation, the formation could be changed rapidly. According to the situation on the battlefield, the formation could be changed into either the Solid Wall Formation or the Grand Wind Formation. It could be used to attack or defend.
"Formation … I won't think about it for now. It takes too long to practice, and the martial artists in the Jianghu are the unruly type. However, I can give Spiritual Energy Coordination a try. Before meeting up with the Immortal Sect Coalition Army led by Chen Rong, I might as well practice it first. "
The requirements for Spiritual Energy Coordination were actually quite strict. The biggest requirement was that the "Spiritual Energy Attributes" were similar.
The so-called "Spiritual Energy Attributes" referred to the characteristics of the spiritual energy. For example, the Fire Essence and the Fire Element were the Fire Spiritual Energy. The Underworld Demon Army was the Yin Spiritual Energy (also known as the Dark Attribute in the Westerners).
The Gang Qi that martial artists cultivated was also a type of spiritual energy. Of course, there were differences in attributes. The Banner Master of the First Banner, Yun Zhongli, cultivated Gang Qi of the Water and Wood Attributes. The Banner Master of the Second Banner, Zhao Wuji, cultivated Gang Qi of the Five Elements, and so on.
Armies with only one Spiritual Energy Attribute were the most suitable for Spiritual Energy Coordination. However, such armies were "unconventional" or "rare". For example, the Underworld Demon Army of the Spirit Race, the Fire Essence Army of the Elemental Race, and so on.
Most of the native armies were made up of humanoids. Humanoids cultivated all kinds of spiritual energy, so naturally, there were quite a few differences in attributes.
Based on the differences in Spiritual Energy Attributes, Bai Xiaowen regrouped the martial artists of the Ten Banners.
The Gang Qi that these martial artists cultivated was basically related to the Five Elements. They only needed to be divided according to the attributes of the Five Elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. It was quite simple.
After they were divided, Bai Xiaowen named the Five Banners of the Five Elements. Sharp Metal, Giant Wood, Flood, Raging Fire, and Thick Earth were the names of the new Five Banners.
(Don't doubt that Bai Xiaowen was able to name them so neatly. He definitely didn't come up with them himself. He was a third-rate writer from the Christian era...)
