Chapter 498 The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts (14)

In Resident Evil 2, during Zheng Zha's battle against the clones.

Especially when the clone entered the fourth tier and the Li Yan took shape, even though he was in a state of great freedom and inner demon, he was ruthlessly crushed.

Can't beat it, can't beat it at all.

“That’s still a bit different. His is pure negative spiritual light, while mine is runic technology,” Zhuang Boshi said with considerable pride.

This is at most a divine technique.

Fu Zheng's ability is a terrifying characteristic at the level of the inner universe.

Although everyone's cultivation level is still hovering around the fourth tier, the effects are about the same.

However, when the clones reach the fourth level or even the Saint level, the differences will become increasingly significant.

The original Darkness was an SSS-level enhancement.

Even now, and even towards the end of the war, Zhuang Boshi could at least rival Li Yan with his Bagua rune-based physical abilities.

He used to envy the unbreakable tortoise shell of the clone Zheng Zha, and now he has a tortoise shell of his own.

Zheng Zha remained silent for a moment before finally saying, "I now regret strengthening the double A-level God of Slaughter with One Slash. I should have left the side quest to strengthen the S-level."

"Haha, don't be like that. If you use the God of Slaughter's One Slash in combination with Destruction, I might not be able to stop it."

Zhuang Boshi played with the energy crystal in his palm, feeling the slight vibration of the Bagua runes within his body.

He knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg of S-level enhancement.

Only when he advances to the next level of integration can he truly unleash the full power of the Eight Trigrams Rune Body.

It's not just about improved defense.

He could clearly sense that his life level had leaped from a mortal body to a half-step immortal body.

Zhuang Boshi said, "This enhancement comes with Bagua runes, energy absorption, true essence circulation, and physical reconstruction."

Everyone looked at him with extreme envy.

Cheng Xiao muttered, "You're just blatantly showing off."

"I must accumulate enough to reach S-rank, and I must also strengthen my S-rank."

Zhuang Boshi felt embarrassed by the look in his eyes: "Although the effect is strong, the burden is also high."

"I can't perform at 100% capacity yet."

"I am currently only at the Nascent Soul stage."

"Only by reaching the Nascent Soul realm can it be equivalent to an S-grade defensive item."

"With my current true essence, my defense surpasses that of ordinary A-grade defensive items."

As is well known, during the Tian Sha counterattack, Julian's S-rank Ideal Land Far From the World was annihilated by Zheng Zha's Tiger Soul with a single strike.

It's not that the scabbard is inferior to Tiger Soul, but rather that Julian is not a fourth-tier being. Even if he awakened the Light of the Mind ahead of time, the enhancement he received was based on telekinesis. Without energy support, the scabbard can only rely on instinct for defense.

Even S-rank armor depends on who's using it.

If it had been a third-tier reincarnator who had strengthened the Eight Trigrams Rune Body, Zheng Zha would be kneeling on the ground, crying and begging him not to die.

Zhuang Boshi is a legitimate cultivator, and his true essence is much more abundant than that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators. With the enhancement of the same system, he can bring out the effect of the Eight Trigrams Rune Body.

Although it has an A-level defense, it is much stronger than Julian's S-level defense.

If used in other systems, it can only serve as a passive defensive measure at best.

Without Dao Domain analysis, the runes cannot be activated; without the blessing of True Essence, energy cannot be converted, and it is very likely to become a disgrace to the S-rank.

Zheng Zha looked at his fist and knew that Zhuang Boshi was definitely being modest.

After those three punches, he could feel his own destruction. Even a hundred more punches wouldn't be able to shake Zhuang Boshi's runic body.

Unless you use the Primordial Chaos.

Upon seeing the introduction on the main god platform, Cheng Xiao exclaimed in surprise, "That's too exaggerated!"

"It comes with S-level defense and also includes runes that enhance the body's affinity for rune rules and improve cultivation talent."

"It feels like it's much more cost-effective than some S-grade enhancements."

"But the entry barrier is also much higher."

Zhuang Boshi explained, "Those who have not entered the fourth rank or the Nascent Soul stage of reincarnation have no chance of entering the Subtle Realm or the Dao Domain."

"It's impossible to utilize this enhanced feature. It might not even be able to activate the basic Bagua runes, and it won't be able to unleash even one percent of its power. Moreover, the energy consumption is so high that it will be completely depleted as soon as the magic body is activated."

"Cultivation is not something that ordinary people can afford to do."

“Doctor, but this enhancement requires an S-rank side quest and 65,000 reward points,” Zhan Lan sighed.

"Can't we cultivate the Eight Trigrams Rune Body just like cultivating the Samadhi True Fire?"

"The Samadhi True Fire requires the right timing, location, and people—all three are indispensable," Zhuang Boshi explained.

"If it weren't for the great spell spirit of the world of spells, and Horus's gift of the divine eye, where would I have found the fire of the human heart and the fire of the sun's core?"

"The good news is that with the help of the Eight Trigrams Rune Body, I can finally cultivate advanced cultivation techniques!" Zhuang Boshi exclaimed.

Zhang Jie asked in confusion, "Didn't you cultivate before? There's no cultivation method in those crystal pieces?"

"Most of the materials inside are study materials and academic papers," Zhuang Boshi said, rubbing his head.

"There are many cultivation methods, but most of them are relatively advanced and require the primordial spirit to even begin."

"Most of the saints who built the Lingkong Xuange were born holy and were used to having a commanding view."

"There are no low-level cultivation methods suitable for reincarnators, or methods that allow them to start from scratch."

"With the strengthening of the Bagua runes, I have finally reached the threshold for cultivation."

Zhuang Boshi sighed.

Compared to traditional orthodox cultivation, which starts with Qi cultivation and foundation building, and then progresses to rune analysis and rune calculation methods, this method is different.

Bosch Zhuang turned it completely upside down.

He first strengthened his Foundation Establishment physique, and then obtained true essence power by reaching the Foundation Establishment physique. The Foundation Establishment here in the Main God's place does not come with any runes.

He then obtained knowledge of runes from the legacy of cultivators.

He began to analyze the runes using the innate technique "deep learning" and the divine eye between his eyebrows.

This leads to the derivation of rune analysis and rune calculation methods. The consequence of self-study without a teacher's guidance is very slow progress.

Fortunately, in The Lord of the Rings, he took advantage of the opportune time and place to directly cultivate the Golden Elixir of Ten Thousand Calamities.

In the previous world, he was infused with the essence of the world and became a Nascent Soul.

Therefore, he really hadn't practiced any systematic cultivation methods.

Pick a little from here, and gather a little from there.

It's been patched and mended until now.

He possesses the realm of cultivation, but cannot use any cultivation runes or spells.

Although he was a legitimate cultivator, he was still a self-taught rogue cultivator who couldn't afford to go to school.

"Doctor, what kind of cultivation technique do you plan to practice?" Zheng Zha asked excitedly.

Zhuang Boshi smiled and said, "A cultivation technique that suits me."

"Eight-Nine Arcane Arts".

"Wow!!" Zheng Zha's eyes lit up.

"That's not the legendary martial arts of Erlang Shen and Sun Wukong, which are ever-changing, indestructible, and impervious to all magic."

The Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill is a supreme divine skill of the Chan Sect, which is derived from Yuanshi, one of the Three Pure Ones. It is based on the principles of Yin and Yang, and integrates the Golden Elixir Dao with transformation and supernatural powers. It can be called the number one divine skill that protects the three religions.

Its name subtly embodies the extremes of Yin and Yang. Eight is the end of Yin numbers, and nine is the supreme Yang number. The multiplication of the two symbolizes the ultimate changes in the universe.

Cultivators undergo nine cycles of tempering, each cycle resulting in a complete transformation.

Ultimately, one can reach the state where "if the primordial spirit within the Niwan Palace is immortal, then the physical body will not die."

Those who have mastered this skill can transform into any object in the world at will, including birds and beasts, mountains and rocks, plants and trees, and even wind, clouds, water and fire. Moreover, the objects they transform into contain hidden mysteries, and the key to their application lies in their own mind.

Zhuang Boshi was actually quite surprised to find that the crystal contained the Eight or Nine Mysterious Techniques.

But considering that the monkey also left behind the golden cudgel, it actually makes a lot of sense.

The Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts have an extremely high threshold for cultivation.

It required passing through three trials and six tribulations, and the physical requirements were extremely high. Zhuang Boshi's physical condition was not good enough at the time, so he temporarily put it aside.

However, the S-rank Bagua Rune Body now compensates for the weaknesses of the physical body and enhances the control over the Bagua Runes.

You can start practicing now!
Finally, I don't have to cosplay Yang Jian anymore; I can take a step closer to being the real Yang Jian.

The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts can also be exchanged in the Main God Space.

SS-rank side quest, 120,000 reward points!

Cheng Xiao leaned back tactically.

"Captain, sometimes it feels like we're from two different worlds. While we're still struggling to survive, you're already considering the interpretation of the laws of the world."

"Now it's even more outrageous. Zheng Zha is enhancing a double A-level sword technique, while you're directly enhancing to S-level by practicing the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts."

"That's outrageous!"

“That’s right,” Zhang Jie remarked.

"You two are really going to wipe out us old guys on the beach."

"Brother Jie, don't say that," Cheng Xiao complained. "You're at least an S-level side quest."

"You're not fast either." Zhang Jie glared at Cheng Xiao.

Now, all members of the Zhongzhou team have been upgraded to A-level, with second-tier gene locks as a foundation, and any one of them can easily crush 50% of the team captains.

Apart from Zhu Wen, even a newcomer like Hao Tian could easily defeat the Indian team's Little Monk, the Southern Flame team's Horfit, and the Northern Ice team's Gangnier.

If word got out, it would truly terrify those low-level squads.

They're even more godlike than the God Team!

In the multiverse, A-level enhancement is already legendary.

A team led by several demigods and composed entirely of legendary figures is considered a significant threat by the Primordial Heavenly Court.

"I feel like we're about to enter an era where everyone is S-rank," Zhan Lan said optimistically.

"I don't believe any other squad is richer than us."

Zhuang Boshi said, "That's true. We've kept our team intact for several worlds, and the more team members we have, the more reward points we accumulate."

Given the Central Plains' good casualty control rate, teams of more than ten people have been maintained for more than four or five worlds.

The accumulated reward points and side quests are already countless, and the rating in the God Realm has long been explosive.

But beneath the thriving facade lies a predicament where wise men have lost their way, high-level combat power has stagnated, and technology can only be developed through archaeology.

Zhuang Boshi suddenly felt a little anxious.

"Alright, everyone has completed the reinforcement. Let's speed up the absorption of the training."

"Old Qi, come with me."

"Our T-virus stock solution and blood-based medicine are almost gone. Can you see if we can salvage some of the raw materials?"

"That's it, let's break up the meeting."

"Doctor, you seem to be in a bad mood lately," Zhu Wen said with concern.

Ming Yanwei said in a complicated tone, "Yes, he has something on his mind."

“With Chu Xuan gone, he has to take charge of the battle, the planning and strategy, and the team members. He thinks about too many things.”

Everyone's attention was drawn to Chu Xuan, who was engrossed in playing with his beloved JOJO.

Chu Xuan.

When will you be back?

　　The pricing of the Main God Space is as follows: S-level is capped at Immortal Saint, and SSS-level in Dawn is equivalent to Primordial Chaos and Primordial Darkness, which are considered Emperor-level.

　　The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts is positioned at the SS level.

　　After all, Yang Jian was brutally attacked by Zheng Zha, who was possessed by an ancient being, during the prehistoric era, and was at most at the Innate Realm.
