Chapter 640 - 428: Eight-Year Summary, Ascending to Baitian Temple! (Double-Length)
In the annual evaluation, there is a reward that directly increases any Martial Arts Experience.
This reward does not require a high overall rating, meaning he doesn’t need to achieve great things to earn it.
In the past, he did not value this reward, but now he wishes for it intensely.
Looking back through his memory, in the past eight years, he has seen this reward three times in the annual awards, and its probability of appearing is not low.
However, at that time, Song Changming had not yet studied this Opening Mansion Technique and didn’t realize how difficult it was to master. Therefore, he did not choose it.
On his panel, three new Physical Traits appeared.
Two Blue, one Green.
One Blue Level Artifact Maker, and another of the same Blue Level Azure Wood Body.
Additionally, there was a Green Level Swordsman.
Artifact Maker, like the Alchemist and Talisman Master he had previously obtained, directly endowed Song Changming with the skill of Artifact Refining.
As for the Azure Wood Body, it is similar to his Fire Attuned Tao Body and Thunder Roar Body.
Azure Wood Body (Blue): Naturally peaceful, born to be with flora, possessing the Talent Ability to communicate with nature and cultivate Spirit Plants, strong Life Force, and powerful healing abilities.
If the Fire Attuned Tao Body is related to Fire Element Talent, and the Thunder Roar Body to Thunder Element Talent, then the Azure Wood Body is connected to Wood Element.
Song Changming is not sure if anyone else has such a complex physique, capable of possessing Physical Traits of three different elemental attributes simultaneously.
Or perhaps, this is a unique situation conferred by the panel, and it is not currently verifiable.
But no matter what, as long as his Physical Traits can continue to accumulate, he will not stop acquiring them.
After all, these are enviable Talent Abilities of others and can genuinely enhance his overall potential.
Options related to Physical Traits are always his first choice for rewards.
Even if he is currently not interested in Artifact Creation and Refining, he cannot lack talent in this area.
Besides these three new Physical Traits, Song Changming’s Dual Spiritual Root Attributes have both exceeded one hundred.
The Spirit Attribute Value is 110, and the Root Attribute Value is 105, both having different levels of improvement.
In general, the improvement of these Aptitude Attributes doesn’t immediately stand out like Qi Power increases, where changes from Aptitude improvement are subtle and gradual rather than immediate.
But when these Aptitudes surpassed one hundred, Song Changming clearly felt some changes.
It was as if he suddenly understood the workings of all things in the world, making whatever Song Changming did feel more relaxed and natural.
This was especially evident in the growth of Experience Value when practicing Martial Arts.
If given a set of Martial Techniques now, he would only need to look at it a few times and practice it a few times to thoroughly comprehend it.
Even some lower-grade Martial Techniques no longer require someone else’s guidance for him to practice to Perfection Realm quickly, without taking years, but just two or three months, or even ten days to half a month!
This is probably the true feeling of being a Martial Tao genius.
Thanks to this Aptitude improvement, he has learned countless Martial Techniques over the years.
High-grade, low-grade, adding them up, he has mastered seventy or eighty sets even if not over a hundred.
Most of them were Martial Techniques left behind in the Heaven and Earth Rings of the Zhao Family Ancestor and Su Jizi.
And from the gains in practicing these Martial Techniques, Song Changming’s Martial Arts Mastery has soared in these years with significant progress!
It can even be exaggeratedly said that his eight-year Martial Arts journey equates to decades of Martial Arts advancement!
Of course, this is also closely related to his current strength and realm.
The deeper his contact with advanced Martial Arts, the better he becomes after reaching Perfection, incomparable to when he was weak in the past.
Overall, the continuous increase in Dual Spiritual Root Attributes has also propelled his Martial Arts Mastery forward in an all-around way.
Besides Aptitude Attribute rewards and Physical Trait rewards, the reward Song Changming chooses the most now is Life Span rewards.
Life Span: 70,350
Through his efforts, his remaining Life Span has now accumulated to over seventy thousand!
With more effort, he has even stored up for a third lifetime!
Compared to the slight stagnation in Qi Refining Cultivation stuck at the bottleneck of the Grandmaster Realm, Song Changming’s Body Refining accomplishments are still advancing fiercely.
Though lacking Great Demon Flesh for Refinement and absorption, he can still daily run the Witch Refining Technique, supplementing with medicinal baths for body refinement and substituting with Demon General Flesh.
This still allowed his physical strength to increase to a thirty-one Dragon Power intensity!
Considerably stronger than it was eight years ago!
Now he is confident that even relying solely on his Body Refining Cultivation, he already has Grandmaster Level combat power.
Should he successfully open the Purple Mansion in Qi Refining, formally stepping into the Grandmaster Realm, combining both, his real combat power will be much stronger than usual Grandmaster Martial Artists!
"Just one Purple Mansion short..."
Seeing the sunrise on the horizon, Song Changming rose, finishing his night’s moonlit Cultivation.
Below the mine, a group of Lei City miners arrived on schedule to start their day’s mining work.
"Where’s that worm?" Seeing Xiao Peibai arrive, Song Changming asked.
"Still being held..." Xiao Peibai replied.
Due to Song Changming’s previous instructions, that Water Insect Demon was left barely alive, though heavily wounded, appearing deathly dispirited.
As for the other Water Demons, they have been cleared away, their Demon Blood Essence already fully refined by Song Changming.
