Chapter 160 Exclusive skills, talent improvement
In the dark and silent sea, the light blue screen ripples slightly with the aftermath.

A prompt message flashed continuously and scrolled out.

[You have triggered the synthesis conditions of the exclusive skill "Qigong", please make a choice in time]

Exclusive skill synthesis.

This is the enhanced reward given after the breathing method is upgraded.

Previously, when the total number of skill bars reached the upper limit for the first time, it was mentioned in the prompt message.

Basically, only a few skills with special properties can be promoted to exclusive skills under accidental triggering conditions.

Fang Cheng had a deep insight at this moment.

The so-called "accidental conditions" should be an excellent environment for cultivation that is similar to the right time, right place, and right people, or the ideal state of "harmony between man and nature".

Only when this level is reached can the panel be activated, allowing ordinary skills to have a chance to synthesize a new skill.

And this more special skill will obviously be more powerful than ordinary skills.

Fang Cheng's hesitation mainly lies in the estimated profits before and after the synthesis.

Because according to the small note on the breathing skill column, in order to upgrade to the exclusive skill "Qigong", you must also choose two other skills of similar nature to meet the synthesis conditions.

In other words, the enhancement rewards brought by the subsequent two skill upgrades will be reduced.

Whether the three-for-one option is worthwhile is a question worth considering.

As if sensing Fang Cheng's doubts, several new prompt messages appeared on the panel.

[The highest level of ordinary skills is lv5]

[Exclusive skills have no level cap and have unlimited growth potential]

[The enhanced rewards after ordinary skill practice and upgrading are uncertain]

[Exclusive skills can be upgraded by integrating other skills to obtain more targeted skill effects]

[After synthesizing exclusive skills, the previous basic attribute bonuses will be retained, the skill effects will be inherited to the new skills, and will be slightly enhanced]

Seeing this, Fang Cheng's eyes sparkled, and most of the hesitation in his heart disappeared.

According to the panel description, the process of upgrading exclusive skills is actually equivalent to a development game, in which you decide the final development direction of your skills.

And just like talents, choosing synthesis will not erase the results of previous efforts.

I have the answer in my mind.

Next, it is time to choose which two skills to use to synthesize "Qigong".

There are three small, faintly glowing arrows at the end of the skill bars on the panel, representing skills that meet the requirements and are of similar nature.

[Zhuang Gong lv1 (106/250)]

【Meditation lv1 (13/250)】

【Food Level 1 (47/250)】

Fang Cheng looked around and quickly made a decision.

The "spiritual fire" brought by meditation has already demonstrated extraordinary significance, and subsequent upgrades will certainly have great potential, and it must not be easily used for synthesis.

Then, you can only choose the two skills of "Stationary Meditation" and "Food" as synthesis materials.

[Are you sure you want to make this choice? Once you make the choice, it will affect the most basic development direction of your exclusive skills.]

Fang Cheng was slightly startled, then immediately confirmed it again.

With a thought, the three skills finally merged into one.

The panel instantly burst into a brighter and more brilliant light than before.

[Congratulations, you have suddenly gained enlightenment in a certain extreme environment, mastered your skills, and successfully mastered a unique skill]

[Qigong lv1 (63/250)]

Looking at the level of Qigong skills displayed, Fang Cheng felt relieved and even more gratified.

After synthesizing exclusive skills, it seems that part of the experience value of the original skill will be retained and inherited to the new skill.

Roughly speaking, it should be the result obtained by dividing the total experience points of the three skills of breathing, standing meditation, and food by three.

Fang Cheng didn't think much about it for the time being, but looked more eagerly at what the enhanced reward of the exclusive skill "Qigong" was.

The first thing that comes into view is "Poison Resistance". [The body's resistance to bad food and toxic substances is increased by 120% on the basic physical attributes]

Fang Cheng nodded secretly.

This is a skill effect inherited from "Food", and it has been improved by 20% on the original basis.

His eyes then looked down.

【Eternal Spring】

[When standing still, the whole body's true Qi is mixed as one, covering all the vital parts inside and outside the body, the overall defense is increased by 300%, and the speed of Dantian Qi recovery is increased by 300%]

"As expected!"

Fang Cheng was excited and quite satisfied with the special effects of this new skill.

Breathing techniques, meditation, standing meditation, and delicious food all fall under the category of Qigong training methods.

The skill effects must also be related to these branch skills.

With this defensive attribute special effect, the muscle and bone strength of 41 points of physical fitness can be increased to 4 times, which is simply a replica of the "Golden Bell Cover" and can be said to be an authentic hard qigong.

Perhaps, eventually achieving the legendary "indestructible body" is not just a fantasy.

Just don't know.

How different will the future development be if you choose food and standing meditation or meditation and standing meditation...

As my thoughts were dancing, the sound of water splashing came into my ears.

Fang Cheng glanced at the dark sea around him.

A group of mermaids were found swimming over quietly, lingering around and unwilling to leave.

Those pairs of green eyes and scaly bodies glowed with a cold and dark glow in the sea water, making them look particularly creepy.

Fang Cheng did not show any fear, but instead swam towards them on his own initiative.

Seeing this, the mermaids suddenly became agitated, making bursts of hissing sounds, and seemed very excited.

One of the mermaids was particularly strong and swam towards Fang Cheng bravely.

The fish-like face has no specific expression, but the eyes and behavior reveal a strange feeling of awe.

Fang Cheng opened his lips slightly and tried to speak a word using a strange guttural sound that was difficult for ordinary people to make.

When the door opened, the sea water did not flow in, but was naturally dispersed by a stream of air.

The voice was transmitted to the mermaid's ears with incredible clarity.

After a relatively successful communication.

Fang Cheng finally learned some of the things that happened tonight and the situation on the sea.

When I saw those divers attacking with guns before, they looked familiar to me.

At this moment, my guess was confirmed that those people were members of the Noah Organization.

Fang Cheng frowned slightly.

If he had a choice, he did not want to continue to conflict with this powerful organization.

but……

While I was thinking, I could vaguely hear a strange humming sound in my ears.

This sound was not made by the mermaids around, but came from the darkest depths of the subconscious.

Fang Cheng turned his gaze to the talent interface.

A certain talent that originally glowed blue was now flashing a mysterious and alluring purple light.

【Breathing of Water (Purple Epic)】

[You have the ability to breathe underwater for a long time, which greatly improves your affinity with the marine environment and marine life. ]

In addition to the change in the font light, two new entries appeared under Talent.

[You gain permanent worship reputation among the mermaids and can command any mermaid to serve you at will]

[When you are in the ocean environment, all combat capabilities are doubled]
