Chapter 71: Ch 71- Planning
Mo Yuan stood in front of the strength testing machine and looked at it curiously.
After arriving at Cang Lan Base, he had decided to test his strength properly. Although he could calculate his strength based on his talents and techniques, those calculations were only estimates. Now that he had access to proper equipment, he wanted to know his exact strength.
At first, Mo Yuan didn’t use his Strength Talent or any other multiplier. He simply clenched his fist and punched the testing machine with his normal physical strength.
Boom!
The machine shook slightly as the attack landed.
Numbers immediately began appearing on the screen.
100,000 jin.
150,000 jin.
200,000 jin.
The numbers continued increasing before finally stopping at 242,000 jin.
Mo Yuan looked at the result and nodded with satisfaction.
"Nice, through this, I can finally know my exact strength."
His base strength was 242,000 jin.
This was much higher than what he had estimated before.
Mo Yuan didn’t waste any time and prepared to test his maximum attack power.
This time, he held his saber in his hand.
He activated his Peak Grade Strength Talent, giving him a ten times increase in strength. Then he activated the Boundless Saber Art, which multiplied the power of his attack by three times.
Finally, he circulated his Primordial Qi.
Boom!
The moment his saber struck the testing machine, a terrifying sound echoed through the room.
The numbers on the screen started climbing rapidly.
1 million jin.
3 million jin.
7 million jin.
10 million jin.
The numbers continued rising until they finally stopped.
14.5 million jin!
Mo Yuan stared at the result for a moment before nodding.
"Not bad."
His current attack power had reached 14.5 million jin.
Mo Yuan thought about the strength of Origin Soul Realm cultivators.
’A Peak Origin Soul Realm cultivator has a base strength of around 10 million jin. With the 2x boost from Primordial Qi, that would reach around 20 million jin.’
He wasn’t completely certain about this comparison.
After all, powerful cultivators could possess special talents, secret techniques, or powerful weapons. Just because two people were at the same realm didn’t mean their actual combat strength would be the same.
’Still, with all my talents and the Boundless Saber Art, I should be able to fight against most of the Origin Soul Realm cultivators.’
Mo Yuan was quite confident about this.
"As for speed..."
A grin appeared on Mo Yuan’s face.
"Hehe."
Unfortunately, there was no proper speed testing equipment here. However, Mo Yuan could still estimate his current speed.
His normal speed was now around 1,000 meters per second. With his Ultimate Grade Speed Talent, his speed would increase by twenty times.
That meant his maximum speed was around 20,000 meters per second.
After converting it, Mo Yuan realized that it was roughly Mach 58.
"Mach 58?"
Mo Yuan couldn’t help taking a deep breath.
’The maximum speed of an Origin Soul Realm cultivator is around Mach 30, while the maximum speed of an Origin Lord Realm cultivator is around Mach 100.’
His expression became strange.
’And I’m only at the Origin Sea Realm, yet I can already reach nearly Mach 60.’
That meant his speed was already approaching the level of a Mid Level Origin Lord Realm cultivator.
Most importantly, he hadn’t even reached the Peak Level of the Origin Sea Realm yet.
Mo Yuan couldn’t help sighing.
"Speed Talent is really fucking overpowered."
His strength was already powerful enough to fight Origin Soul Realm cultivators, but his speed was even more ridiculous.
With such speed, even if he couldn’t defeat a stronger opponent directly, escaping would be extremely easy.
Mo Yuan looked at the numbers on the testing machine once again.
Now that he had a clear understanding of his current strength, he could finally make proper plans for the future.
Cang Lan Base was a large base with countless powerful cultivators and beasts. Compared to Dong Hai Base, the number of people with high grade talents here was much greater. With his Copy and Paste ability, this was basically a treasure ground for him.
’There should be many people here with talents worth copying.’
During his journey to Cang Lan Base, Mo Yuan had already used his Copy and Paste ability once. He had copied the Defense Talent of the Desolate Ape he had killed in the wilderness.
The Desolate Ape possessed a Superior Grade Defense Talent, so Mo Yuan now had the same talent.
As for the other beasts he had encountered during the journey, he had copied some of their ordinary talents but none of them were particularly useful.
’There is still some time before my Copy and Paste cooldown is finished.’
Mo Yuan thought for a moment.
"I should cultivate during this time. Once the cooldown is over, I’ll look for someone with a good talent."
After arriving at Cang Lan Base, he had no reason to waste time. There were many things he needed to do but cultivation was still his top priority.
Mo Yuan suddenly remembered something.
"I don’t have any beast blood left."
During his previous visit to Martial Hall, he has almost sold all the Beast corpses he had.
"I should go to the Martial Hall and buy some High Grade and Peak Grade Beast Blood."
With that thought, Mo Yuan immediately left. After arriving at the Martial Hall, he directly purchased a large amount of beast blood.
The price was extremely expensive. The entire purchase cost him three billion yuan.
After paying the bill, Mo Yuan looked at the remaining balance in his account.
Four hundred and ninety million yuan.
He couldn’t help feeling a little pained. Three billion was not a small amount of money, even for him.
However, Mo Yuan quickly stopped worrying about it.
’It’s worth it.’
The better his cultivation resources were, the faster he could improve.
As long as his strength continued increasing, he would be able to hunt stronger beasts and earn even more money.
’Money is useless if I can’t turn it into strength.’
After returning home, Mo Yuan took out one of the bottles containing Peak Grade Beast Blood. He stared at the dark red liquid inside the bottle with curiosity.
"This is the first time I’ve ever tried Peak Grade Beast Blood. Let’s see how effective it is."
He opened the bottle and drank the entire portion and the moment the beast blood entered his body, Mo Yuan immediately felt a powerful energy spread through his body.
At the same time, he began circulating the Primordial Qi Body Tempering Method.
Primordial Qi slowly entered his body and merged with the energy from the beast blood. The powerful energy began strengthening his organs, muscles, bones and blood.
Mo Yuan could clearly feel his body becoming stronger.
’This is much better than High Grade Beast Blood.’
He continued circulating his cultivation technique and carefully sensed the changes in his body. After a while, his eyes widened in surprise.
’Holy shit! It’s about four times more effective than High Grade Beast Blood!’
A huge smile appeared on Mo Yuan’s face.
’With this, my strength will improve much faster.’
Peak Grade Beast Blood was incredibly expensive but its effect was clearly worth the price.
For someone like Mo Yuan, who could continuously become stronger and earn more money, spending billions on cultivation resources was not a problem.
Mo Yuan closed his eyes and focused completely on cultivation.
The Primordial Qi Body Tempering Method continued circulating through his body while the powerful energy from the Peak Grade Beast Blood was slowly absorbed.
His cultivation began improving at a much faster rate than before.
