Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 183 The True Meaning of Supreme Being!
Not only Li Xia, but Aowu's eyes also widened as he saw the specific panel.

"Your Highness, this—this seems to be okay?"

He quickly pulled out something else, which looked like a thick book.

[Ancient Shureid Biotechnology (Partial)]

[Quality: Purple]

[Origin: Monster Hunter World]

[Type: Knowledge-based Skills]

[Purpose: Grants the crafting skill 'Biosynthesis' upon use]

[Comment: Knowledge is a wonderful thing. Power, equipment, skills, items, and even life will decay according to different levels, but knowledge will not.]

I believe you!
Li Xia scoffed. Knowledge is indeed real and difficult to be restricted by rank, but it also depends on the type of knowledge.

Some apostles with exceptionally high intelligence (non-intellectual attributes) are keen to learn knowledge in every world.

However, very little knowledge is universally applicable, especially in the mystical realm. Mystical knowledge that has not been converted from temple teachings causes many mages great distress.

This world also emphasizes the construction of complex three-dimensional spell models. We have learned 12 spell model pathways and pivotal structures for constructing models.

The next world suddenly emphasizes "thinking". The more you think, the less skill you can unleash. It's all about single-minded "thinking".

On the contrary, some fundamental things remain unchanged in every world.

However, the "Ancient Shured Biotechnology (Partial)" which is transformed into a skill through the temple is indeed less restricted by rank.

After using the book directly, a brand new panel suddenly appeared in front of Li Xia.

[Bio-media Technique]

Skill Level: 1

[Skill Type: Knowledge-based/Manufacturing Skills]

[Currently available items: Recovery potions, explosive potions]

[Synopsis: A fantasy-themed crafting skill developed based on the Monster Hunter universe—is it really illogical?]

Upon seeing the recovery potion and explosives, Li Xia immediately realized what was going on.

Is this so-called 'biological blending technique' actually the same as the blending technique in Monster Hunter?
Li Xia turned off the panel and thought about it thoughtfully for a moment.

Seems quite normal?

After all, the technology in the Monster Hunter world is basically based on archaeology. Without the Dragonkin providing some of the technology and excavating the ruins, it would be impossible to succeed.

Equipment such as the Transforming Battle Axe, Jet Greatsword, and Insect Glaive will likely not appear.

Not to mention the extremely sophisticated 'harmony' system.

It is highly likely that the 'Harmony' system currently used by the Hunter's Guild is the ancient Shured technique taught by the high-ranking dragonmen.

It's reasonable, but it's not quite what I imagined.

Li Xia frowned. He had originally planned to see if this technique could help Aowu reshape his body.

It seems that this won't work now.
Moreover, he needed a plantation, glancing around his personal room.

It's about 500 square meters, which is 200 square meters more than a normal second-tier apostle.

A 1-star executioner has extra living space, and the living space will become even larger when upgraded to tier 3 or the executioner's star rating is increased.

We can set aside a portion of it and convert it into a plantation. That should be feasible.

"Ouch, looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer—"

Li Xia turned off the panel and collected all the materials on the ground:

"Let's go improve our attributes first."

There's a lot to do on this trip back, such as upgrading weapons and armor, and Black Charcoal also needs some reinforcements.

Li Xia didn't want to let his teammates fall too far behind and end up being relegated to the sidelines.

"It's a good opportunity to show Heitan around the hall."

"Meow!"

Pushing open the door, the bustling crowd outside made Heitan's eyes widen in surprise.

It had never seen so many people gathered together!
Once he actually walked on the streets of the Temple of Light, Black Charcoal was overwhelmed by the sights, from the enormous protective shield overhead to the uniquely styled buildings.

The trading stalls on both sides of the street were bustling with activity, with people constantly haggling over prices or leaving with smiles on their faces, carrying away their desired items.

"Once the enhancement is over, you can wander around on your own. I remember you have a skill called [Erudite].

Li Xia slowed down to give Heitan more time to get used to the environment.

"Buy what you need yourself, and come to me if you don't have enough money."

The skill of being erudite means that Hei Tan will learn things that interest him, which means that he actually has a plan for his growth path.

However, the original plans were all based on the Monster Hunter world, but now we've come to the Hall of Fame, a place with endless possibilities.

There will only be more options for charcoal.

"Meow!"

"Hmm, if you're not familiar with it, let Awoo go with you."

They chatted casually while he explained the facilities and functions of the hall to Heitan.

The attribute enhancement hall has arrived; Li Xia doesn't need to give any further instructions.

The facilities in the hall are extremely user-friendly; you just need to follow the instructions.

Inside the sliding 'coffin', a pale blue panel appeared. [Current Attribute Points: 17, please allocate them, Executioner]

After a brief moment of thought, Li Xia made the following adjustments.

【Power: 19→22】

[Agility: 19→22]

Intelligence: 19 → 23

【Spirit: 19→23】

[Physique: 19→22]

Just as I clicked "confirm," a blinding light suddenly shone inside the enhancement chamber.

Li Xia groaned, as unprecedented pain surged from every part of her body.

It felt as if every cell in my body was wailing and screaming.

An irresistible force forcefully entered the interior of every cell, compelling them to evolve.

Suddenly the light stopped, and Li Xia gasped for breath as if he had collapsed.

However, the attributes on the panel were all stuck at 20, and had not been increased to the maximum.

Just as I was wondering what was going on, a brand new notification popped up.

[Executioner, your current base Strength attribute value has reached 20 points. Please select the Cell Enhancement direction.]

[Note: The direction of enhancement is based on individual qualities, and each person is different. It will greatly affect the future development of the apostle, so please choose carefully.]

[Note: Because the Executioner is currently undergoing enhancement, the enhancement process cannot be paused for an extended period; each selection only lasts 60 seconds!]

1. Super muscle fibers: Increase muscle reaction speed by 10%
2. Bodybuilder: Strength +3
3. Super Mitochondria: 10% increase in endurance
4. True Strength: When performing a strength assessment, gain an additional 20% weighted strength attribute (Rare, Assessment Level: Expert).
5. Qi Source Flow: When exerting force, the actual power attribute will be 1.1 times (Super Rare)
Almost instantly, the fatigue caused by the intense pain vanished.

Li Xia felt her breathing become slightly rapid.

Breaking through 20 points actually has this kind of thing?

No wonder they say five-dimensional balance is supreme!
If it's just a difference of a few points in attributes, it's not a big deal!

It turns out that the five dimensions allow for five choices of attribute evolution direction, and each one is an improvement!
I don't know if this option will be available again later.

But one choice can put you far ahead!
The higher the level, the more obvious this difference becomes!
Li Xia saw

Is there any need to hesitate?
Okay, while 1. Super muscle fibers are also pretty good, 5 is definitely better!

The so-called muscle reaction speed is the speed at which the muscle moves after a nerve signal is sent.

This is different from what is commonly referred to as dynamic vision and nerve reaction speed.

It should be considered to increase the body's 'terminal velocity'.

For example, your brain can react quickly, but your body can't keep up with your brain's reaction speed; this is because your muscles react slowly.

But what does "Qi body source flow" mean?
This means that from now on, my strength will be approximately 1.1 times greater!

Although the panel stats remain unchanged, the actual stats are higher when the character is activated, which can be considered an improvement in basic attributes.

When combined with passive attributes like 'Strength', it's all a bonus!

A classic scene from a certain movie even popped into Li Xia's mind:

"This punch represents 20 years of internal strength! Can you withstand it?"

Even though the hall didn't explain in too much detail, Li Xia could guess why this Qi source was flowing out.

Because of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques, because of True Qi.

According to Aowu, he hadn't even reached the foundation level of his training; he had only just confirmed that the land was his.

There was no real practice of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques; instead, it was the preliminary stage of guiding true qi into the body.

It is also called "Little Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill".

Let the true qi cleanse the body again and again, gradually adjusting it to a state where it can adapt to the true foundation of the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts".

In other words, the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" is not a martial art for beginners to learn from scratch.

Do you really think the Hall of Light is Ai Li Xia?

Only true love transcends all boundaries to reveal one's deepest secrets; the phrase "can be completed" can be said to express a heartfelt hope for one's own successor through every stroke of the pen.

After choosing the direction of power evolution, the next step is to choose ingenuity.

[Executioner, your current base Dexterity stat has reached 20 points. Please select the Cell Enhancement direction.]

[Note: The direction of enhancement is based on individual qualities, and each person is different. It will greatly affect the future development of the apostle, so please choose carefully.]

[Note: Because the Executioner is currently undergoing enhancement, the enhancement process cannot be paused for an extended period; each selection only lasts 60 seconds!]

1. High-difficulty move: Increases body flexibility by 10% (Rare)
2. Acrobat: Increases physical coordination by 10% (Rare)
3. Light and Agile: Dexterity +3
4. True Dexterity: When performing a dexterity assessment, gain an additional 20% weighted Strength attribute (Rare, Assessment Level: Expert).
5. Wind Chaser: Increases the speed of all body movements by 10% (Extremely Rare)
There are still five directions, and there are more rare options compared to the strength attribute.

Both flexibility and coordination are actually very useful.

Li Xia didn't hesitate and immediately chose 5!

He finally realized that the truly useful parts of the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" he had practiced were right here!

Yes, it doesn't add attributes directly, but as a guide, it's definitely not as simple as it appears on the panel.

The true qi was constantly cleansing the body and adjusting its direction!

Perhaps this is the true value of the introductory chapter of the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques"!
