Gao Wu: My martial arts technique has entries.

Chapter 32 Talent [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

As one of the strongest movement techniques specializing in speed, the Thousand-Pound Breaking Formation's extreme speed is top-tier among its peers.

Chu Kuang covered thirty zhang in a single breath, charging directly in front of Shen Xiao like a fierce general emerging from a vast army.

"Whoosh whoosh."

Seeing that Chu Kuang's speed was terrifying, Shen Xiao's expression changed drastically as he retreated while simultaneously launching a barrage of flying knives like raindrops.

However, although the hastily thrown knives were numerous, the power they contained was far too weak.

Chu Kuang ignored the flying knives and charged forward, then spun his spear and thrust it straight at Shen Xiao's chest.

Shen Xiao's skills are 70% focused on throwing knives, so how could he possibly be a match for Chu Kuang in close combat?

In a single exchange, Chu Kuang's battle spear pierced the alloy armor, sending it flying more than ten feet.

"You have been eliminated. Your armor will be taken over by the AI, and you will be sent out of the Dark Domain."

Shen Xiao fell heavily to the ground, turned around and looked at the figure in black armor, a look of shock on his face.

"Is this what it means to fight fiercely on all sides and break through enemy lines with overwhelming force?"

Shen Xiao murmured softly, but could only regretfully be carried away by the armor.

At this moment, Chu Kuang stood calmly atop the valley, his eyes sweeping across the surroundings, only to see that Jiang Feng and Chu Linfeng had already escaped hundreds of feet away.

As for Liu Meng'er, she collapsed to the ground, glanced at him in shock, and then disappeared into the valley with her armor.

"They run pretty fast, though."

Chu Kuang whispered, but did not chase after Jiang Feng and Chu Linfeng.

The two of them split up and fled; chasing after them would likely waste a lot of time.

He had just obtained some Source Energy Elixir, and now was the perfect time to improve his strength. These two were not worth his time at this crucial moment.

Thinking of this, Chu Kuang got up and left, soon arriving at a deserted, desolate mountain.

After confirming that there was no threat, he opened the jade gourd and drank the Source Energy Liquid in one gulp, along with a few drops of Profound Iron Liquid. Then he began to cultivate the Iron Armor Technique and basic techniques.

During this cultivation session, Chu Kuang discovered that his energy was being consumed extremely quickly. In just over ten minutes, he had exhausted the energy of the Source Energy Liquid, and even felt a sense of hunger.

So Chu Kuang took out the nutrient solution and swallowed twenty vials in a row before he felt the hunger disappear.

"How come the consumption is so high?"

Chu Kuang was somewhat surprised and immediately focused his attention on sensing the panel.

Name: Chu Kuang

Race: Terran

Hit Level: 6.5 → 6.7

[Iron Armor Skill (Mastery 27→45%)]

【Golden Spear (Mastery 17→28%)】

【Bloodbath Across All Directions (Small Success Rate 74→99%)】

【Breaking Through the Formation with Might (Small Success 72→99%)】

【Iron Bell Cover (Small Success Rate 21%)】

"Iron Armor Skill proficiency increased by 18%, Golden Spear proficiency increased by 11%, and proficiency in both minor advanced movement techniques increased by more than 25%."

"And the first volume of the Golden Bell Cover technique allows one to directly advance to the minor stage."

Chu Kuang muttered to himself, a look of surprise on his face.

At his current cultivation speed, with the support of the cultivation techniques, his daily progress in minor success techniques is about 10%. His proficiency in major success techniques like Iron Armor Technique and Golden Spear Spear is around 3-4%, yet he made such significant progress in these techniques after only ten minutes of practice.

"It's definitely not just the effect of the Source Energy Elixir."

Chu Kuang muttered to himself. He knew about the Source Energy Liquid and knew that although it was mysterious, it couldn't possibly have such an exaggerated effect.

Therefore, the only possibility is that his improvement came from fighting against others.

"Life-or-death combat can rapidly increase the progress of martial arts skills."

"Moreover, my combat talent should be quite good, which can accelerate my growth in battle."

Chu Kuang murmured to himself, a vague understanding dawning on him.

Real combat can accelerate one's growth; combat talent is an innate instinct that everyone possesses.

The dangers of real combat can send adrenaline soaring, making every gain and loss memorable—something the Astral Training Grounds can never match.

However, combat talent varies, and those with lower combat talent may not gain much even after going through bloody battles.

Some people have exceptionally high combat talent. They are not only good at summarizing experience, but also gain several times or even ten times more from battle than ordinary people.

Even if the former has high comprehension and innate talent, their final achievements are often not too exaggerated.

Even if the latter has slightly less natural talent and comprehension, as long as they continuously participate in actual combat and experience the trials of life and death, their final achievements may not be inferior to those of the chosen ones with the best natural talent.

Those human kings who ruled the world were all people with exceptional innate talent and comprehension, as well as extremely high combat abilities.

Chu Kuang estimated in his mind that his combat talent should be quite high, and might even be at an extremely high level, otherwise this improvement could not have been so great.

"Blood Battle in All Directions and Thousand-Pound Breaking Formation have reached their limits, but breaking through will still take some time."

"The Iron Armor Technique has improved greatly. At this rate, it may not be long before the Iron Armor Technique is mastered to perfection."

Chu Kuang had a thought, then he immediately ended his cultivation and strode into the depths of the Dark Domain.

Now is not the time for cultivation. The source energy springs in the Dark Domain and the tempering brought by battles are the keys to Chu Kuang's rapid improvement.

"..."

Chu Kuang strolled through the Dark Domain, heading deeper and deeper, constantly searching for the source of energy.

As a result, he searched for more than two hours and found three energy springs, only to find that they had all been taken by others.

"It's so fast."

Chu Kuang frowned slightly. From the traces on the battlefield, he deduced that the bio-beasts guarding these energy springs had all been killed by a joint attack.

One of them was probably attacked by two or three people working together, while the other two showed signs of being attacked by a large number of martial artists, suggesting they were attacked and killed by the entire class.

“The energy springs on the periphery are relatively small, and the bio-beasts guarding them are relatively weak. As long as two or three people with mastered external martial arts join forces, or dozens or hundreds of students work together, they can be dealt with quickly.”

"If I want to obtain the source of energy, I can't stay on the outskirts any longer."

Chu Kuang muttered to himself, then decisively stepped inside.

This time, he walked for about half an hour and soon stopped in a wasteland.

In the wasteland ahead, a group of students were fighting fiercely against a three-headed wolf-shaped bio-beast around a small hill.

Chu Kuang recognized both of them with just one glance.

These three bio-beasts are slightly smaller than wolf-lizard beasts, but much larger than common tigers. They are among the most common ferocious beasts in the Dark Domain: the Wilderness Wolves.

Of these three wasteland wolves, two have a life level of approximately 6.0, while the alpha wolf, the leader, has a life level of 6.2, the same level as the wolf-lizard beast.

In a one-on-one fight, none of the three wasteland wolves could match the wolf lizard beast, but when they joined forces, the wolf lizard beast was no match for the three wasteland wolves.
