"One million seven hundred and eighty thousand comprehension points …" Li Yunmu narrowed his eyes. He had forgotten about several hundred low levelled skills to obtain this number.
As a matter of fact, Li Yunmu didn't think that it was a large number, but it could only be used to upgrade the three A Grade skills to the maximum level and nothing more.
Li Yunmu thought for a moment, then decisively chose Insect Step (great heights), Absolute Defense Tyrant Fist Technique (perfection), and Violent Blade Tyrannical Heavenly Chop (familiarity). He used the comprehension points to upgrade them to the ninth level, extraordinary sage stage.
Thus, out of the one million seven hundred and eighty thousand comprehension points, only four hundred and eighty thousand remained.
But he wasn't done yet. Soon after, he chose the breakthrough function for the three A grade skills which had reached the peak of proficiency.
"System, breakthrough Insect Step, Absolute Defense Tyrant Fist Technique, and Violent Blade Tyrannical Heavenly Chop." Without the slightest hesitation, Li Yunmu didn't choose Violent Blade Critical Leap Strike which had accompanied his rise to prominence. Instead, he chose a movement skill and two deadly skills to breakthrough.
The reason was naturally related to the enemies he had encountered.
Although each strike of Violent Blade Critical Leap Strike was more formidable than the previous, it couldn't heavily injure opponents at the same level or more formidable than him. However, the other two skills could.
[Ding, every time an A grade skill breaks through, it requires one hundred thousand comprehension points to break through. Do you want to deduct three hundred thousand comprehension points and confirm the breakthrough?]
"Yes."
Just as he said that, a shadow appeared in Li Yunmu's consciousness sea. This shadow used a strange movement technique that was difficult to predict and capture. It moved at high speed, and with each step it took, another shadow would appear. When the nine steps were completed, nine identical shadows would suddenly appear in front of Li Yunmu.
For a moment, even Li Yunmu himself felt a headache. It was difficult for him to distinguish which of the nine figures was real and which was fake. Who was the real body and who was the shadow? Perhaps the only person in the world who could see through the true nature of the nine figures was an extremely terrifying existence.
"What a formidable Phantom Footwork!"
"This is the effect of Insect Step reaching the maximum proficiency level?" Li Yunmu's heart trembled. Clearly, this was the most formidable footwork he had seen so far.
Not only did it possess an extremely strong explosive force, it was also a mixture of real and fake. It could be divided into nine, and it was simply unpredictable. It was ever-changing, real and fake, and the explosive force was powerful. This was the qualitative transformation that came after the breakthrough of Insect Step.
Sure enough, after a series of drills, when Li Yunmu woke up, he received a notification from the system in his mind.
"Congratulations, your Insect Step has successfully broken through to the S-class high-speed frequency conversion movement technique – Nine Shadow Heavenly Insect Step. From now on, you have grasped the Nine Shadow Heavenly Insect Step and are now at the first level of the First Steal Technique."
"Nine Shadow Heavenly Insect Steps?"
"Alright, alright!" Li Yunmu couldn't help but say the word 'good' three times in a row. The breakthrough in Insect Step had given a qualitative transformation to his combat strength.
A formidable flux expert didn't need a formidable martial skill, but they absolutely couldn't not have a decent footwork or footwork.
The existence of footwork would definitely influence one's execution in battle. Regardless of whether it was dodging, protecting one's life, or rushing to kill the enemy, all of them were indispensable.
After the transformation of Nine Shadow Heavenly Insect Step, Li Yunmu's anticipation for the breakthrough in Absolute Defense Tyrant Fist Technique and Violent Blade Tyrannical Heavenly Chop instantly increased.
Sure enough, after the shadow in his consciousness sea finished demonstrating Nine Shadow Heavenly Insect Step, its presence changed. Energy erupted from its body, and a tyrannical blade intent fiercely emerged from its body.
"Buzz." The shadow suddenly slashed, and the blade intent of this strike seemed to pass through time and space, breaking through Li Yunmu's consciousness sea.
In an instant, Li Yunmu's consciousness was completely occupied by the blade intent of this heaven and earth tyrannical blade.
[Congratulations, because your Violent Blade Tyrannical Heavenly Chop has reached the Extraordinary Sage level, it has broken through to S grade deadly blade skill--Heavenly Blade. Starting from now, you have grasped Heavenly Blade and are now at the first level of First Steal …]
The Absolute Defense Tyrant Fist Technique didn't disappoint Li Yunmu. The silhouette in his mind suddenly withdrew his blade and retracted all of his presence. Then, he unleashed a punch. Instantly, Li Yunmu felt as if this punch was the only thing that existed in the world.
One punch could destroy mountains and rivers, one punch could shatter heaven and earth. There wasn't any domineering aura, only disaster and calamity.
[Congratulations, because your Absolute Defense Tyrant Fist Technique has reached the Extraordinary Sage level, it has broken through to S grade deadly technique — Calamity Fist. Starting from now, you have grasped Calamity Fist and are now at the first level of First Steal …]
His strength had increased greatly!
This was a great increase in strength. Li Yunmu had never expected that he would surprisingly grasp two S Grade deadly skills within a short period of time. Although previously, the second shadow skill comprehended by the shadows, Unique Shadow Heavenly Blade Chop, was an S Grade skill.
However, the Absolute Shadow Heavenly Blade Chop, as the name suggested, once this sure-kill skill was used, it meant that all the shadows would die.
That's right, the only S grade deadly skill Li Yunmu had grasped before, Unique Shadow Heavenly Blade Chop, was actually the fusion of all the shadows into one to unleash the final strike.
After this strike, regardless of whether the enemy was heavily injured or killed, all the shadows would be sacrificed. It would be a permanent sacrifice, and they wouldn't be able to resurrect.
Because of that, Li Yunmu hadn't dared to use this deadly skill even though he knew that the shadows had comprehended it. If he used it, it would mean that he had fallen into a dead end.
But it was different then. Heavenly Blade, Calamity Fist, as well as Nine Phantom Heavenly Insect Step had undergone a qualitative change. Although Li Yunmu's cultivation hadn't progressed and his innate expert armor hadn't transformed into innate divine armor, he was definitely several times more dangerous than before.
If he hadn't comprehended the three S grade martial skills, then with his previous combat strength, he would at most have been able to fight against a mid stage sage flux expert. But now, he was confident that he could kill a mid stage sage flux expert. Even if he encountered a late stage sage flux expert, he was still confident that he could use the Nine Phantom Heavenly Insect Step to carve out a bloody path to retreat.
The difference in meaning between the two was too great. The former was a battle, while the latter was a killing.
After sorting out all the skills he had comprehended, Li Yunmu continued to work hard and focused on the cultivation methods he had cultivated.
This time, he didn't need to upgrade anything else. He wanted to upgrade his body refining cultivation method and raise his absolute defense to the limit.
Even if he didn't hesitate to use up all the ability points he had accumulated.
Previously, he had cultivated Admiralty Cover to the sixtieth level, but because the amount of ability points required to advance beyond the sixtieth level was extremely astonishing, he had stopped increasing it for the time being.
But now?
"System, infer Admiralty Cover to the ninety-ninth level and upgrade it to the ninety-ninth level at any cost."
Devil Tiger Bone Refining Secrets?
Li Yunmu had only cultivated it to the thirtieth level and congealed the bone armor, but he hadn't continued to upgrade it. But now, he wanted to use ability points to upgrade it to the maximum level.
Cross Cover Armor?
Sorry, but he had cultivated this body refining cultivation method in the Origin World to the ninety-ninth level long ago. His corporeal body had reached the great circle.
The only pity was that his Great Sun Thunder Tyrant Body Technique, the most formidable body refining cultivation method, couldn't be upgraded using ability points. He had to exchange them for higher quality energy units to upgrade it.
However, even now, Li Yunmu no longer cared about accumulating ability points and cultivated the two body refining cultivation methods, Admiralty Cover and Devil Tiger Bone Refining Technique, to the great circle.
His Ability Points, which were originally more than 270 million, were now reduced to 30 million.
However, this sacrifice was definitely meaningful.
Admiralty Cover, which had reached the great circle of the ninety-ninth level, wasn't able to reduce ninety-nine percent of the damage as he had imagined. Instead, it could only reduce seventy percent of the damage.
