I became a saint in the game

No surprises at all.

After the afternoon class, Chen Shicheng's progress in learning the Breath Concealment Technique reached 100%, and a new entry-level skill appeared in the skill bar.

But this skill is a bit hard to describe.

When I first started using the skills learned from the jade slips, although the power and efficiency of using true energy were not satisfactory, at least it was successful this time.

However, this self-learning skill can only be successful twice out of ten times, all thanks to the application of other earth-based skills. It cannot be used as a permanent skill.

But this is not a problem for Chen Shicheng.

The moment the skill appeared on the panel, he left the lecture place without looking back and hurried back to the dormitory.

"Wind Spirit Moon Shadow activated!"

[In the first year, you held the relic in your hand and began to practice the art of holding your breath.]

[In the third year, with the help of the relic to increase your understanding and the other earth-level skills, you will make rapid progress. Inspiration will continue to burst out in your mind, and your skill level will increase rapidly. You will reach the proficiency level of the Breath Containment Technique.]

[In the tenth year, you gradually discovered something was wrong. Pointing to the Ground to Make Steel (Perfect Level), Drawing on the Ground to Make a Prison (Perfect Level), Shrinking the Ground to an Inch (Perfect Level) and the Breath Containment Technique gradually had some overlaps, and even the Golden Light Divine Mantra had some connection. Your mixed thoughts caused your cultivation speed to slow down.]

Feeling the memories being fed back into his brain, Chen Shicheng immediately stopped investing in merit and fell into deep thought as he looked at the prompts on the panel.

Long ago, he obtained the incomplete fragment of the Thirty-Six Tiangang Techniques, "Pointing at the Ground to Turn It into Steel". At that time, he also had the idea of ​​completing this skill, and even acquired the seldom-used skill of drawing a prison on the ground.

But after both skills reached the maximum level, they did not complement each other as he had hoped, so he put this idea behind him.

He never thought that a breath-gathering technique that allowed him to gather his breath and blend into the earth could actually connect several unrelated skills together, making his original idea possible to succeed.

And who can tell him why the spatial skill of shrinking the earth into an inch and the eight great Taoist spells are related to the earth element?
Is it because one walks on the ground and the other is closer in color to the earth?
What a joke, there is no relationship at all!
Under the influence of the relic, countless thoughts arose in Chen Shicheng's mind, causing his temples to begin to swell.

Obviously, there are now two branches of skills. One of them is that no matter what the connection is between these skills, just continue to upgrade the Breath Concealment Technique to the maximum level and get the copper piece issue done first.

The other is to follow this inspiration and continue to comprehend it until you figure out the connection between these skills.

But in this case, the merit required is likely to be an astronomical figure.

Under the premise that the output benefits are unclear, Chen Shicheng doesn't know whether his investment is worth it, so he is very conflicted.

".Done, merit is just a number on the panel, it is only called merit when it is used!"

Looking at the more than 500,000 merits on the panel, Chen Shicheng gritted his teeth, directly interfered with the direction of comprehension, and started to rush on an unknown road.

[In the 173rd year, after changing the direction of comprehension, you caught a glimmer of inspiration, and the Breath-Gathering Technique that allowed your own aura to blend into the earth became the foundation, and the Pointing to the Earth to Make Steel and Drawing on the Earth to Make a Prison became pillars, building a vague framework.] The three skills on the panel gradually merged into one after a blur, but after a twist, they instantly disintegrated, as if he had not yet found the most critical nodes of these skills.

In just a moment, Chen Shicheng felt a vast and boundless aura rising from the ground and enveloping his body, giving him a sense of security.

There is a door!

His eyes lit up and he quickly pursued the victory.

[In the 564th year, you, who had a simple realization, spent a long time finally building a stable structure, and a new skill has a glimmer of hope.]

Just like before, the several skills on the panel merged into one after a blur, turning into a dizzying vortex that kept spinning, as if something was growing in it, and with just a little effort, it would break out of the cocoon.

Chen Shicheng closed his eyes and felt it carefully, then he was surprised. This time, his understanding not only included several earth skills, but even the Golden Light Mantra became a lubricant between the skills. The newly acquired Dragon Elephant Stomping the Ground skill was not avoided, and became a cornerstone for building new skills.

But what is surprising is that combining so many full-level skills together only gives a rough outline of the new skills, and further investment is needed.

He did not forget how much merit it took to upgrade all these skills to the perfect level.

Now that all of this has been put together, it is just the beginning. It is conceivable that a huge amount of merit will have to be invested in the future to successfully incubate new skills.

Again!
If I give up now, the sunk cost is not high and everything is within an acceptable range. But if I continue to invest, and the skills I eventually develop are not very good, my merits will be wasted, and that would be a real setback.
Although he wanted to give up, Chen Shicheng frowned as he looked at the skill that was about to be born on the panel.

He stretched out his right hand, and a faint sword intent of immortal slaying slowly emerged.

In the memories that came back, he once felt a mysterious power at the moment when the skill was formed. Although it was also only a flash, it left a very deep impression on him.

After all, although the external appearance is different, its inner meaning is similar to that of the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

In other words, if he continues to comprehend this skill, it is very likely to bring him a true meaning of the same level as the Immortal Sword, which is far stronger than the passive space true meaning comprehended by shrinking the earth into an inch.

Thinking of the increase in strength that the Immortal-Slaying Sword Intention had brought him, Chen Shicheng licked his lips and continued to invest in merit with determination.

[In the 1900th year, your understanding of new skills hit a bottleneck, and you had to change your approach and start to sort out your skills from scratch.]

[In the 3422nd year, you were at your wits' end and upgraded the source of everything, the Breath Containment Technique, to the sublimation level, and a new opportunity emerged.]

[In the 7160th year, during an accidental attempt, a thick and warm energy merged into your body and was refined and absorbed by your true essence under the effect of your new skill.]

[In the 16,560th year, after repeated efforts, you finally perfected this skill of absorbing energy from the earth to refine yourself after countless years of attempts.]

[You obtain the skill: Earth Guarding Blood Refining Technique (beginner)] (End of this chapter)
