Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 155 Going deeper
Top-tier skill.

The eyes of more than a dozen master-level martial artists in the arena immediately fell on Ji Fuyou.

When the physique value is 10, the 15 attribute points are 50% higher, which can bring an overwhelming advantage in head-on combat.

However, once the physique value reaches 30 points, the gap between it and 35 points narrows to 16%!

Furthermore, since there won't be any special changes similar to the power boost in the body when the physique is between 30 and 35, the advantage brought by the difference of 2 or 3 points in physique for master-level martial artists is relatively weak.

At this stage, the standard for measuring strength is not just physical strength, but also the skills, killing moves, secret techniques, and forbidden arts mastered.

Only those who possess top-tier secret techniques have a chance to reach the pinnacle of master-level martial artists.

The current seasonal flooding...

This foundation is already in place.

Given time, his reputation will surely spread throughout the Federation like that of Xiao Jiuge, Fengyulou, and even Wu Rendi, making him one of the top dozen or so master-level martial artists.

Could you describe the specific effects?

Xiao Jiuge couldn't help but ask.

He quickly added, "There are actually differences in the quality of skills at different levels. You can basically judge them by the learning conditions, the cost of using them, and the prerequisites for releasing them. The higher the learning conditions and the cost of using them, the greater their power."

He also introduced himself: "My Locking Yuan Technique requires 31 points of physical strength to cast. It leaves the energy in the opponent's body to interrupt the flow of their qi and blood. It is a top-tier skill of the most common control type. The Vajra Indestructible Body requires 34 points of physical strength, which is obviously more mysterious than mine. The Limitless Sword Intent not only requires 30 points of spirit, but also requires the perfect cultivation of a sword intent. It is the top of the top skills."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuyou couldn't help but glance at Gu Yinbing.

"Yes, among our top skills, hers is the most powerful. Theoretically, her skill requires 30 points of mental strength, but her Silver Sword can amplify mental strength, thus making her qualified to unleash this skill."

Xiao Jiuge said.

Ji Fuyou nodded.

He thought of his innate armor-piercing sword energy.

It requires a physical strength of 25 and mastery of a sword intent.

There's even a hidden condition: developing internal energy (罡劲).

Therefore, the Innate Armor-Piercing Sword Qi is among the top-tier blue-level advanced skills.

As for the disintegration of the Heavenly Demon...

Requires a mental scale!

The initial understanding requires 25 seconds to develop spiritual awareness, the half-understanding requires 30 seconds, and the full and final understandings require even more spiritual demands of 35 and 40 seconds respectively!
This……

The levels are becoming increasingly difficult to define.

However, judging solely from the effect of "Initial Solution," which only enhances burst damage, it does indeed fall into the category of advanced blue skills.

While pondering, he still answered the question about the effects of the Overlord's True Form: "It's somewhat similar to the Indestructible Body, but instead of immunity to damage, it grants immunity to negative effects. During activation, it is unaffected by pain, weakness, paralysis, or toxins. Furthermore, with charged acceleration, it can perform one charge attack..."

"Negative effects of immunity..."

After a moment's thought, Xiao Jiuge and the others concluded: "Judging from the immunity to negative effects alone, it seems inferior to the Vajra Indestructible Body which is immune to damage, but it also has a collision derivative skill... However, this derivative skill requires charging in advance... It can only be said that if used well, it is no less than a peak skill, but if used poorly... it is about the same as my Locking Yuan Technique."

"Ji Fuyou has such powerful skills, as well as explosive skills and innate armor-piercing sword energy. Should we bring him into team 1 for attacking?"

He Qilin suggested.

"It is foreseeable that Xiao Bing's Limitless Sword Intent and Sword Control Technique will inevitably attract great hatred from the Fengwo Sect Leader. For safety's sake, it is best to keep Ji Fuyou by her side so that he can provide some support."

Feng Yulou added, "In a head-on battle, we old guys can hold the line. Only when we can't hold on any longer will it be their turn to step in."

Xiao Jiuge took into account Gu Yinbing's other identity...

He did nod.

At this moment, Ji Fuyou said, "If we're talking about attracting hatred... I suggest we bring Liu Yiren from our team."

He said, "Liu Yiren has mastered the art of making and applying poison. The effects of the poison can weaken the strength of monsters. When facing the Fengwo Guardians, it can weaken them by 20% to 30%. Even if the Fengwo Sect Leader has a stronger body and higher poison resistance, as long as it weakens them by 10%, it can greatly increase our success rate in the hunt."

"Poisoned?"

Xiao Jiuge's eyes lit up: "Toxins are indeed the key to our human beings' ability to overcome the strong with the weak. It's a pity that toxins that can be used in the mist are very rare. Does your team have such a talent?"

"Correct."

Ji Fuyou nodded: "Moreover, poisoning is an act that attracts a lot of hatred. I once fought against a poisoned Fengwo guard, and he kept his killing intent toward Liu Yiren of our team until his death."

"Then what are we waiting for? Take it! We absolutely must take it!"

Xiao Jiuge immediately said, "If the Fengwo Cult Leader can keep an eye on the poisoner in your team and keep chasing him, it proves that his behavior is predictable. If we make some targeted tactical arrangements, it will be much easier to surround and kill this cult leader."

"I'll go get her."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he turned around and came to the side of Yang Kaitai, Xiao Hanxue, Liu Yiren and others.

They had already spotted Ji Fuyou chatting and laughing with He Qilin, Fengyulou, Xiao Jiuge, Gu Yinbing, and others.

Which of those people wasn't a renowned figure in Zhongzhou?
Although they weren't among the very pinnacle of their group, they were all powerful figures with impressive backgrounds. Each of them, individually, was someone who could sit at the same table as Wu Sheng, Xue Changfeng, or even the governor of Chuzhou.

Ji Fuyou's ability to connect with these people undoubtedly represents another leap in his social status.

This kind of growth...

It's truly moving.

Seeing Ji Fuyou approaching, the others quickly stepped forward and greeted him: "Captain."

"I knew it! Captain, your level is far more than what we've seen! Now it seems you're definitely a prodigy on par with He Qilin and Gu Yinbing!"

"Captain, are you going to join He Qilin, Master Xiao, Feng Kuangdao, and Miss Gu to behead the Fengwo Cult Leader?"

Several people spoke up one after another.
Ji Fuyou nodded and briefly explained everyone's plan.

After saying that, he glanced at Yang Kaitai and said, "You guys are responsible for attracting the monster's attention. Be careful and protect the rest of the team."

"Don't worry, Captain. Although our team can't compare to those other teams, we are definitely in the top tier among ordinary hunter teams."

Yang Kaitai said solemnly, "I will lead them to persevere to the end."

"it is good."

Ji Fuyou nodded and then turned to Liu Yiren: "We need to use your poison to kill the Fengwo Sect Leader this time. We hope you can come with us. I will arrange for you to be in Team 3, which is my team, to ensure your safety as much as possible. What do you think?"

"I certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to participate in the siege of a lord-level monster."

Liu Yiren smiled slightly: "Besides, with the captain here, I believe my safety will be guaranteed."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

He glanced at Fang Qiyun, then turned to Xiao Hanxue: "From now on, you'll be our team's main attacker. Protect the others."

Xiao Hanxue immediately stood up straight: "Captain, rest assured, I will do everything in my power to protect the lives of my team members!"

Ji Fuyou gave her an encouraging look, waved to the others, and led Liu Yiren toward He Qilin and his team.

Upon seeing the two return, He Qilin and the others welcomed Liu Yiren.

After exchanging pleasantries, he said solemnly, "There's no time to lose. We've been inside the Fengwo Temple long enough, and Fengwo reinforcements could arrive at any moment. We can't afford to delay any longer. Now, let me explain our tactical arrangements..."

In less than half an hour, the tactics were arranged and the teams conducted preliminary understanding and drills.

Soon, people like Yang Kaitai and Luo Suyu, who were quite influential and respected even among ordinary hunter teams, were selected. They would be led by a professional military team left behind by Shen Jun to storm the central hall and attract the monsters.

Meanwhile, their four teams, from another direction, used Gu Yinbing's Great Cloud Concealment Technique to sneak into the inner hall of the central main hall.

After reaching an agreement, everyone quickly set a time.

The 300-odd elite hunters who had arrived at the scene were ready to go, while the four teams, totaling 24 people, took a detour in another direction and waited for them to start.

When the time came, the 300-odd elite hunters launched their attack.

The roars of the bountiful monsters began to echo throughout the hall.

As the roars rang out, the monsters ahead gradually moved to reinforce them, making the monsters in their direction much sparser.

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Yinbing.

This near-master-level spiritual powerhouse wasted no time. With a wave of his hand, the surrounding mist seemed to be disturbed and solidified, forming a large dense cloud that enveloped all 24 people, including her.

"Follow!"

As Gu Yinbing spoke, she moved forward quickly at a pace that was not slow.

Among the people present, she and He Qilin were probably the weakest in terms of physical strength. Although her speed was not slow, it was still very easy for everyone to keep up.

Even when fertile monsters block their path from time to time, and there is no way to avoid them, everyone will use various methods, such as releasing some puppets, or using illusions or feints, to lure away the fertile monsters that happen to be blocking their way.

Thanks to the commotion caused by the more than 300 elite hunters, the Fertile Monsters started to move around, which gave everyone an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Under such careful progress, the group covered a distance of less than three kilometers between the outer and inner halls in nearly ten minutes.

At the entrance to the inner and outer halls, there is a connecting corridor about ten meters long and less than ten meters wide, with two fertile guards at the entrance.

Even with the Great Cloud Concealment Technique, it would be difficult to successfully transport 24 people into such a corridor.

In an instant, He Qilin, Xiao Jiuge, Fengyulou, and Shen Jun, who arrived later, exchanged glances and made a decision at the same time.

"Hopefully there won't be too many monsters in the inner sanctum."

Xiao Jiuge said in a low voice.

"Qilin, Xiaobing, Disrupt! Old Nine, each of us take one and charge in!"

The Wind and Rain Tower, already shouting, charged headlong into the path of the Fengwo guards blocking their way.

The war begins instantly!
