Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 165 Properties

"If all goes well, two red spirit source crystals can be used to transform into a master level, and at most three."

Ji Fuyou made a rough estimate and arrived at the result.

However, if you want to raise your spirit value to 31 and reach the point where you can cultivate the deflection force field, you need to prepare at least 4 red spirit source crystals.

Even 5.

Spiritual source crystals, a strategic resource, are rarely stockpiled.

The Association of Spiritual Powers only has one or two spares, which serve as ballast for the currency of "contribution".

Most people use it almost immediately after receiving it.

At the very least, use it on your relatives and friends.

Everyone knows that concentrating resources can accomplish great things, but achieving this is never easy.

"Hopefully, the weapon crafted from the Ghost Silk Inner Armor and the Limitless Mystic Crystal will live up to its value, which is comparable to a top-tier skill."

Ji Fuyou pondered.

……

"Jingle Bell!"

Ji Fuyou was woken up by the ringing of the phone.

He took the call and saw it was from an unknown number, so he hung up immediately.

Only after hanging up did he notice a message from Gu Yinbing reminding him to accept the friend request.

He opened the news app and noticed that Gu Yinbing had added him as a friend as soon as he got home yesterday, and now...

It's been two days already, and it still hasn't been approved?

At that moment, Ji Fuyou accepted Gu Yinbing's friend request.

Once approved, a video request was immediately sent over.

"My brother agreed."

Gu Yinbing was clearly different from the others.

There was no small talk, no polite exchange of words about whether I had disturbed his rest.

Even though she was disturbed, now that Ji Fuyou's video had been sent over, she seemed to feel that such words were no longer very meaningful.

Therefore, she chose to get straight to the point: "These are the parameter data for the Ghost Silkworm Inner Armor and the Limitless Mystic Crystal that my brother sent me."

As she spoke, she passed a document to Ji Fuyou.

Ji Fuyou clicked on it, glanced at it quickly, and his eyes lit up.

"The Limitless Mystic Crystal has been forged into a flying sword. Using the latest attribute template released by the Spiritual Ability Association, it not only has a maximum of 16 points of damage, but also provides 3% to 5% spiritual compatibility!"

It's important to know that flying swords are very small.

Compared to swords, axes, and spears, their damage is often less than half.

Driven entirely by mental power, it possesses astonishing speed, resulting in unpredictable and deadly attacks.

Therefore, even though its damage is not high, its speed and lack of defense still give it unparalleled killing efficiency.

Like the Silver Light Sword, converted to numerical values, it deals 14 points of damage and has a spiritual affinity of 1% to 3%.

This spiritual affinity not only makes the flying sword faster, but also grants an additional 3% bonus to spiritual stats.

By having a Spirit Master with a Spirit stat of 30 use their sword to fight enemies, the Silver Light Sword can ultimately deal up to 23 points of damage.

23 points of damage...

The unique uninterceptability of flying swords means that martial artists with a physique below 23 are basically killed instantly.

Of course, these are theoretical figures.

Depending on one's mental state and the distance, the control one's consciousness has over the flying sword will decrease.

However, just from the basic data, one can see just how powerful this Wuji Flying Sword is.

"The flying sword has a maximum damage of 16 points and a maximum spiritual affinity of 5%. Not only can it make the flying sword fly faster, but it can also allow a master-level spiritual energy user to convert up to 15 points of destructive power. The two combined..."

Gu Yinbing said in a low voice, "Non-master level martial artists will be killed by your flying sword in a single exchange. Even if more than a dozen people rush at you, as long as you can keep a little distance, you can kill them all like mowing grass."

Ji Fuyou smiled.

Why is the 30-minute mental exercise considered a stage of qualitative change for those with spiritual abilities?

It is because of this stage that the mind can interfere with matter.

To deal with an ordinary person, a mental storm can directly cause brain death by manipulating a single nerve in their brain.

When dealing with cultivators, one can control objects to kill enemies.

Even without divine weapons, one can still wield swords and control objects.

Of course, once you reach the Spirit Master level, you'll generally have no shortage of common divine weapons like the Silver Light Sword.

This dual innovation in both strength and equipment has directly elevated the Spirit Master's lethality to a whole new level.

“You have cultivated the Innate Armor-Piercing Sword Qi. This sword qi contains the element of ‘sword intent’ and can also be added to flying swords. Although the effect will be somewhat reduced, it is still more than enough to break through the protective force of a master-level martial artist.”

Gu Yinbing paused for a moment: "In other words, apart from a few masters like Fengyulou who cultivate the Vajra Indestructible Body, or if your flying sword has to be aimed at someone's strength, inner armor, or non-vital parts, most master-level martial artists can no longer withstand a single sword strike from you."

"I'm not even 30 minutes into my day yet."

Ji Fuyou smiled and said something.

"The inner armor made of ghost silkworm silk not only has extraordinary defensive power, but also strengthens the spirit and enhances your mental resistance. The mental resistance bonus is about 4 units, and the enhancement of the spirit value is definitely 1 unit."

Gu Yinbing looked at Ji Fuyou: "You have already refined the newly acquired Spirit Source Crystal, plus the one from the Spirit Energy Association, so reaching the 29th quarter of an hour shouldn't be difficult."

"The spiritual scale brought about by the enhancement will not cause a qualitative change."

Ji Fuyou said, "Therefore, even if I have 30 points of spiritual energy, I estimate that my compatibility with the Wuji Sword can only reach 3%, or at most 4%."

"A qualitative change in spirit..."

Gu Yinbing paused.

She's just one red spiritual crystal away from a spiritual transformation.

"It's only a matter of time before it happens to you too."

"You have the Limitless Sword Intent by your side, and that alone is enough to give you an absolute advantage in controlling your sword to kill enemies."

Ji Fuyou truthfully said, "If it were possible to exchange, I believe any spiritual being would want to trade their deflection force field for your Limitless Sword Intent."

Hearing this, Gu Yinbing's somewhat sour mood improved a little. Her Limitless Sword Intent...

For those specializing in sword control, it is indeed more useful than deflection field.

"I've looked at the items. If you're satisfied, then we'll place the order."

Gu Yinbing said.

"Satisfied, thank you for your help."

Ji Fuyou said, "I'll go to Zhongzhou right now."

"Row."

Gu Yinbing responded.

Finally, I'll add one more thing: "Although you don't have the Limitless Sword Intent, you can still choose a regular sword control technique to enhance your compatibility with your flying sword."

Sword control is a blue skill.

It doesn't increase sword speed or damage, but it allows cultivators to wield their swords more skillfully and unpredictably.

In particular, when a psychic manipulates a flying sword, the farther the sword travels, the lower the damage. However, the Sword Control Technique can significantly mitigate the damage reduction issue caused by the sword traveling further away.

Therefore, although this skill is not uncommon, it is not cheap to exchange for it from the Association of Spiritual Abilities.

"I understand, thank you for reminding me."

Ji Fuyou said something.

"Let me know when you arrive."

Gu Yinbing replied and hung up the phone.

"Sword Control Technique."

Ji Fuyou used his mobile phone to access the official website of the Association of Mental Abilities and entered the merchandise section.

This time, upon entering the merchandise area, he keenly sensed something.

The variety of products that can be searched has increased.

He glanced at the access level...

"After gold comes diamonds... and I'm at the 'honor level' after diamonds."

Ji Fuyou was somewhat surprised.

The fifth level, the Glory level, also has the highest level of access, which means that all data is fully accessible to him.

Ji Fuyou looked at it and quickly found the Sword Control Technique.

Blue skill, exchange price 100 million.

There is no premium.

He glanced at his contribution points again; he only had 15 left.

It is estimated that when He Qilin and the others changed his permissions, the amount allocated for exchanging red spirit source crystals and 6 physique source crystals was automatically deducted.

"I can't afford it anymore."

Ji Fuyou said something.

He glanced at the other exchange lists again and found some weapons made of Asura Stone and Purgatory Iron.

Among them, weapons crafted from Shura Stones are typically priced between 10 and 30.

The price of battle axes, battle knives, and battle swords forged from Hellfire Iron has increased tenfold, ranging from 1 million to 3 million contribution points.

Weapons made from this material generally provide a damage bonus of around 25 points.

Weapons forged from Purgatory Iron are priced similarly to divine weapons made primarily of Radiant Silver.

"The highest level of weapons that can be exchanged by the Spiritual Ability Association is Purgatory Black Iron and Flash Silver. As for armor, the materials are mainly War God Meteorite Iron and Ghost Silkworm Silk... This is because my permissions have been upgraded to the highest level. When my permissions are not high enough, I can only see weapons made of Asura Stone and Demon Suppression Iron... In fact, when I first entered the store, I only saw S-level weapons and armor."

Ji Fuyou remembered that the first cold steel sword he bought was an A-grade weapon, priced at 5000, and its maximum lethality was only 12 points, which was 3 points lower than the S-grade horse-slaying sword.

However, the length of the Zhanma sword is often 1.8 meters, which is a long sword and a two-handed sword, making it relatively difficult to use.

Sacrificing flexibility for 3 points of damage is less worthwhile than going straight for the Asura Blade.

"To do a good job, one must first have the right tools. The physique of human master-level martial artists is not stronger than that of the Fertile Clan warriors. Ordinary master-level martial artists have only mastered one or two skills, and may not even have any blue skills. The reason why they can suppress the Fertile monsters is because of their superior weapons and armor."

Ji Fuyou closed the webpage and bought a ticket to Zhongzhou.

He was already looking forward to seeing how much his combat power would increase after he put on the Ghost Silk Inner Armor and the Limitless Flying Sword.

Putting aside the distant future, the trip to the Misty Forest in ten days or so should be extremely relaxing.

With anticipation, Ji Fuyou washed himself, changed his clothes, and prepared to go out.

However, when he went outside, he found Xue Nianhua standing not far from his door.

Further away, there were even people constantly glancing in this direction.

Upon seeing Ji Fuyou emerge from inside, Xue Nianhua immediately stepped forward: "Captain Ji, I'm so sorry, I..."

"Standed all night?"

Ji Fuyou sensed someone outside before he went to sleep.

He didn't pay much attention to the fact that there were always people coming and going at the training base.

Looking back now, Xue Nianhua must have arrived at that time.

"Yes, I came here specifically to apologize to Captain Ji."

Xue Nianhua said sincerely.

"apologize……"

Ji Fuyou's expression was somewhat strange.

He is, after all, the son of the president of the Chuzhou Spiritual Ability Association, a true figure of power and wealth. Instead of seeking an opportunity to redeem himself, he obediently went to apologize.

However, when he thought about his ranking on the Heavenly Ranking, and the relaxed and talkative figures like He Qilin and Gu Yinbing...

Xue Huanian went to apologize in person...

This seems to be quite reasonable.

With the Fertile Temple trial over, his status has once again undergone a leap forward.

He went from being at a similar level to Yang Kaitai, Xiao Hanxue, and Xue Huanian to officially reaching a level above them.
