Alone and Infinite

This is actually the price offered by the Freemasons of Light. They buy Black Arrows indefinitely, as long as they have them.

This should actually be considered a premium.

Fixed buyback price?

Before Li Xia could ask a question, he saw Lei Sen calmly point to the essence of the Zanpakuto and then to the black arrow.

After a moment's thought, Li Xia quickly realized that he was an expert at creating strategies. What is a strategy?

A strategy is one that can be replicated step by step.

At this moment, he could even recall several steps taken when the hall judged the Black Arrow, and thus deduce which chain of quests led to obtaining the Black Arrow.

The apostles were not fools; they simply had neither the opportunity nor the time to try and explore.

For ordinary apostles, derivative worlds are a one-time game, with no chance to start over.

But if the major guild discovers clues, they can continue to explore with new members, trying little by little, until they finally connect all the links.

"Okay, that's it."

After leaving Wanhui Trading Company, Li Xia went directly to his private room.

After reaching the second tier and receiving the benefits of a one-star executioner, the personal room has reached 500 square meters, making the original three-bedroom, one-living-room layout seem inappropriate.

So I spent 500 points to choose a template that looked good in the renovation section, and then spent another 100 points to buy a window view texture.

It looks exactly like the real thing; you can even see snowflakes drifting in when you open the window.

"Oh, Your Highness, you know what, this style is quite novel."

Awoo snuggles in its fluffy cushion; interior design is probably the thing that changes the fastest.

Looking at the decorations it had never seen before, it had already decided where it would sleep.

Li Xia sat cross-legged on the soft carpet, with Ye Ji lying across his lap, holding the essence of the Zanpakuto—a small ball of light—in his hand.

Hearing Aowu's words, he looked up and glanced around.

Honestly, the decorations and the constantly falling snow outside create an unconscious sense of peace and inexplicable comfort.

He shook his head, bringing his thoughts back to the present.

"Aww, how do I solve the attribute problem?"

The dragon stretched its head out from the cushion: "Your Highness, you should fuse with it first and see what kind of growth weapon it will become."

There are many types of growth, such as the raw material devouring type, the weapon devouring type, the life devouring type, the energy devouring type, and so on.

The approach differs for each type. Generally, there shouldn't be a significant difference between soul equipment and soul resonance, unless the wrong items are fed to the wrong person.

That's right, let's see how it goes first.

He crushed the ball of light in his hand, and countless points of light danced in the air, like a sky full of stars, dreamlike and illusory. This must be the 'spirit particles' unique to the Grim Reaper.

Please select the target audience.

After choosing the stillness of night, these points of light seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, surging towards the stillness of night like swallows returning to their nests.

However, the speed at which the light spots merged with the night was extremely slow. Countless light spots adhered to the surface of the spear, making it appear as if it was coated with a layer of light film.

[Fusing time: 40 hours, 35 minutes, and 17 seconds]

Forty hours? That's a long time.

Li Xia simply left Ye Ji at home and let it evolve on its own.

He then yelled "Awoo!" and headed straight for the skill enhancement hall.

This is the real key to becoming stronger!

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

Large guilds can continuously recruit new members and repeatedly explore using previously accumulated data; I wonder if everyone can understand this.

They did not control the vast majority of the output because the derivative worlds of the temple would constantly update and change according to the apostles' understanding.

For example, the derivative world experienced by the apostles 100 years ago was completely different from the one we have now.

Further back, there was a lack of widespread group awareness, or even a derivative world.

The normal cycle of derivative worlds is approximately 5-20 years.

Chapter 127 The Pinnacle of Martial Arts: The End of Techniques

Inside the huge circular hall, small doors opened and closed, and apostles would occasionally walk out or enter.

Even through the blur of motion, some apostles could sense the distinctly low pressure.

It's easy to guess that the improvement was due to the infusion of Time-Space Copper Coins.

Therefore, comprehension is very important. Li Xia's comprehension was already higher than that of ordinary apostles, and it increased even more after drinking the enlightenment potion.

Each infusion has a pretty good effect, and if it triggers flow, not to mention there's also the "Awoo" sound now!

After looking around, room 666 was still empty, so I pushed the door open and went in.

After skillfully sitting in the chair and operating the controls for a while, a light blue prompt box popped up in front of me.

Please select the skills you wish to improve.

1.八九玄功（1000点、时空铜币*1，1点功勋值兑换1个月经验灌注）

2. The End of Skill (Pay 1000 points and 1 Time-Space Coin to exchange for 6 months of skill infusion)

3. Sunday (Pay 1000 points, 1 Time-Space Coin, to exchange for 1 year of skill infusion)

4. Sharpshooter (Exchange for 1 year of skill infusion)

5. Ban/Restrict (Exchange for 1 year of skill infusion)

6. Flying Technique (Exchange for 1 year of skill infusion)

7. Hole Wave (Exchange for 1 year of skill infusion)

There are a total of three Time-Space Copper Coins, of which Sealed and Hole Wave have been decided to be upgraded with fixed values.

The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts can be practiced in the Time Chamber, and Zhou Tian can also cultivate simultaneously while practicing the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

After calculating this, there are only three left: [Skill Limit], [Divine Archery], and [Flying Technique].

Exactly three copper coins!

Li Xia thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up and shouted, "Awoo!"

The dragon was curiously looking around the skill enhancement room when it heard Li Xia's call and immediately flew back.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"I have something I'd like to ask—" Li Xia opened the panel at the pinnacle of skill, frowning as he slowly spoke:

"This skill seems to be stronger than I imagined, for example—"

So far, in terms of pure combat techniques, they don't seem to have suffered much of a disadvantage, as the Abyss Apostle also possesses LV2 Abyss Blade Technique.

But if they actually fought, Li Xia clicked his tongue, saying that saying it was a complete stomp was a bit of an exaggeration.

However, it's true that there's not much pressure.

There's also the fight with Master Roshi. Logically speaking, Master Roshi, who is over two hundred years old, should have already internalized martial arts to the core.

But Li Xia tried hard to recall his battle with Master Roshi on the arena.

Perhaps it was just a friendly spar? Or maybe Master Roshi took a liking to his talent and used him as a sparring partner?

His punches were extremely simple, with no variations, just pure speed and power.

There is pressure in dealing with it, but that's about it.

Aowu listened to Li Xia's question and looked at Li Xia with a strange look.

Li Xia felt uncomfortable under his gaze and couldn't help but ask:

"what happened?"

"Your Highness, it's clearly written in the skill panel—" Awoo tapped the description at the bottom with its little paw.

Li Xia read it aloud in a low voice.

Only in the most barren soil can the most beautiful flowers of skill bloom.

He froze, as if something was churning and boiling inside his chest, about to burst forth, and a faint flash of inspiration appeared in his mind.

But it's always shrouded in mist, impossible to touch.

The howling sound seemed faint to Li Xia, yet it still reached him clearly.

"In any world, as long as it is not at level 0, even at level 1, one can faintly sense the various energies existing within the physical body."

Once you can sense energy, any technique will transform into how to better utilize and harness that energy.

Correspondingly, the so-called martial arts, swordsmanship, knife skills, and so on will become simplified and eventually become individual moves.

Rather than a series of continuous, systematic actions.

After all, when a blade unleashes a powerful and fast strike, it's inevitable that various techniques utilizing that energy will be developed.

Li Xia felt as if something in his mind had been suddenly shattered. He abruptly raised his head, his expression incredibly complex.

Awoo continued speaking slowly:

"Only in a 0th-order world where energy cannot be sensed at all will people focus on their physical body and think about how to have a universal formula to deal with enemy attacks."

Only then can one focus on studying every part of the body.

"But... the void is so vast, and Earth—no, these Chinese techniques..."

The void is so vast, what kind of world is not there?

Aowu became serious and looked at Li Xia earnestly, saying:

"Your Highness, do not underestimate yourself. Why do you think that the Nine Provinces are not powerful? Achieving these things is not easy at all."

Awoo stretched out its dragon claws and gestured:

"A large population is needed, and there is a strong demand for combat."

"These people need to use the same language to facilitate communication."

"These people need to have the habit of passing on knowledge, so that future generations can continue to improve along the path of their predecessors."

"Medical expertise is needed to conduct detailed research on the human body and to study the points at which force is exerted."

"Only a country or civilization with a large population, a unified written language, extremely frequent battles, advanced medical skills, and a strong emphasis on recording and passing on knowledge can achieve this."

Only then can one develop a technique, dedicating everything without reservation to how to deal with enemy attacks and various power generation techniques.

Finally, Aowu straightened his body and said proudly:

"The void is indeed vast, with billions of races constantly residing within it, and geniuses as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, but how many can reach its end?"

Since there is always a strongest, why does Your Highness feel that the ultimate skill cannot be the strongest in this path?

In the six great halls, I, Light, Blessed, and the Agent are all people of Earth!

Therefore—the pinnacle of martial arts, the ultimate expression of skill, is not wrong!

Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and the fog in his mind cleared up completely.

The emotions surging in my chest only intensified.

I understand now. So that's how it is.

Just like Master Roshi, because of the existence of 'ki', ki makes him stronger and faster, and he can develop techniques such as the Universal Shock Palm and the Kamehameha.

Just like wielding a long sword, the sword energy can traverse ten thousand meters, slaying enemies within that ten thousand meters. He wouldn't bother to study how many subsequent variations the sword moves should have.

The ultimate skill one learns is a formula. To unleash the power of this formula, one needs to make it instinctive and requires a calm mind.

It requires a lot of real-world experience and constant battles; once the soil disappears, decline is inevitable.

Li Xia nodded and waved to Aowu.

The dragon landed on his shoulder.
