Douluo V: Daily Intelligence - I Want All of Tang San's Opportunities

[In your thirtieth year, your understanding of the Mysterious Jade Hand technique has deepened once again, and you have touched the edge of a higher level that this technique can reach. However, with your current accumulation, it is not enough to truly cross that threshold, and you can only remain at the limit of your current level.]

The golden light slowly dimmed, and the golden figure faded away as well.

The deduction of the Xuan Yu Hand ended here. All the insights gained from thirty years of arduous cultivation flooded into Su Yuntao's mind, and a faint warmth came from his fingertips.

He could feel that his hands were more solid than before the deduction, and the flow of soul power between his palms and fingers was much smoother. However, he could also clearly sense that the threshold to a higher level was still there, visible but untouchable.

Su Yuntao looked down at his hands and remained silent for a moment. The feeling was too painful. It was like he was about to reach the pity system after 30 pulls, but he was stuck on the 29th pull. He either had to give up or spend 648.

He raised his gaze, his thoughts returning to the light screen.

The intelligence value can be used for two more deductions. Spending one of them on Xuan Yu doesn't seem entirely unacceptable.

Once the thought came to mind, it was impossible to stop.

[Detectable skill: Mysterious Jade Hand (already deduced), continue deducing?]

Deduction.

The light screen lit up again.

[In the thirteenth year, you finally broke through the threshold that had troubled you for so many years. The Mysterious Jade Hand technique has reached its peak; the jade-like luster of your hands is more solid and warm than before, and your soul power flows to your fingertips without any obstruction. Swords and blades are impervious to damage, water and fire are impervious to penetration, and even corrosive soul power cannot leave a mark on your palms. You stand at the true pinnacle of the Mysterious Jade Hand technique.]

[In the twenty-third year, you began experimenting with combining the strengths of the Mysterious Jade Hand and the Eighteen Claws of Rending Wind. Through countless trials, you found the key to their fusion. You used your resilient palms, tempered by the Mysterious Jade Hand, as the foundation for your power, layering all the variations of the claw techniques onto your jade-like palm and finger bones. That invisible jade armor did not diminish the sharpness of the claw strikes; instead, it made the power of each claw strike even more concentrated. You named it "Mysterious Yin Nine Claws."]

[In your thirtieth year, you continuously explored the variations and possibilities of the Nine Claws of Profound Yin, attempting to incorporate more variations and connections. However, after repeated deductions, you realized that the structure of the Nine Claws of Profound Yin had reached its current pinnacle; each move had been refined to its most concise state. To achieve further breakthroughs, you would need a higher level of soul power and a longer period of immersion. You temporarily halted your continued exploration of this ultimate technique, sealing it away for another day.]

The golden light spread out again, turning into tiny specks of light that flowed into Su Yuntao's body.

He looked down at his hands. His fingertips still retained that lustrous, jade-like sheen, but they were more subdued than before, and almost no difference could be seen when he wasn't using his internal energy.

He tried to slowly circulate his soul power. When the claw-like energy condensed at his fingertips, it was noticeably more solid than before, and the airflow it brought out when cutting through the air was also more crisp and clean.

He then used the Xuan Yu Hand in conjunction with the power generation of the Eighteen Claws of Rending Wind to unleash several more claw strikes, the movements were smoother than before, and each claw strike was even more ferocious.

But since we've already done the deduction, there's no need to leave this last move for later.

Su Yuntao withdrew his gaze and re-examined his current state.

In terms of attack, the Xuan Yu Hand, which combines the Eighteen Claws of Rending Wind to form the Xuan Yin Nine Claws, has almost reached its current limit.

In terms of defense, the physical foundation built by the Xuan Tian Gong, coupled with the enhancement of four soul rings and three soul bones, has already far surpassed that of others of the same level.

However, speed, which was originally the biggest advantage of agility-type Soul Masters, has become a relatively weak point after several consecutive upgrades.

In every battle, he had to rely on Silver Moon Step to make up for the speed gap, but this was not a long-term solution.

His gaze fell on the Silver Moon Spirit Bone on his left leg.

This was the first soul bone he obtained from Zhou Mulan, and it came with the skill Silver Moon Step, which allowed him to create seven illusory figures within three breaths and switch between reality and illusion. It helped him a lot in actual combat.

However, soul bone skills are different from soul skills. Soul bone skills have greater consumption and limitations. Although Silver Moon Step is useful, it can only take seven steps within three breaths. In intense battles, this level of mobility is obviously insufficient to cope with high-intensity head-on maneuvers.

He focused his mind on the system's light screen, and with a slight thought:

[Detectable Soul Bone Skill: Silver Moon Step. Proceed with the deduction?]

Yes.

The light screen unfolded again, and a golden figure stood within it, his left knee slightly bent, leaving a trail of crisscrossing afterimages beneath his feet.

[In the third year, you became more proficient in using the Silver Moon Step, and the intervals between your afterimages were significantly shortened. In short-distance maneuvers, you could seamlessly switch between illusion and reality, leaving no trace. Your opponents often could only see your true position after your real body had solidified.]

[In the eleventh year, you can still only create seven illusory steps within three breaths, but you are no longer limited to condensing your true body once. You can choose to appear in any illusory form, or switch positions multiple times consecutively. Each time you condense your true body, it will consume one illusory form, until all seven illusory forms are exhausted.]

[In your twenty-fourth year, you began to realize the limitations of Silver Moon Step as a Soul Bone Skill. The pattern of creating seven illusory steps within three breaths was too fixed. Once your opponent figured out your rhythm, this footwork would lose its element of surprise. You repeatedly adjusted the frequency and rhythm of your Soul Power output, constantly trying to extend the duration and realism of the illusory images. You successfully broke through the limitation of seven steps within three breaths, achieving the feat of seventy steps within three breaths as long as your Soul Bone Energy remained. At the same time, the realism of the illusory images also significantly improved as your control over your Soul Power became more refined.]

[In your thirtieth year, you've pushed the Silver Moon Step to its limits as a Soul Bone Technique. However, you're also acutely aware that the upper limit of a Soul Bone Technique is constrained by the quality of the Soul Bone itself; beyond that point, no amount of refinement will allow for a significant leap forward. You began exploring new avenues beyond the Silver Moon Step, incorporating the principle of shifting between reality and illusion into a completely new footwork. After repeated adjustments and refinements, you finally created your own unique footwork. While this footwork lacks the illusion-realm shifting ability of the Silver Moon Step, it excels in its greater flexibility and fluidity, making it difficult to discern reality from illusion, and its extreme speed. Especially in close combat, it offers far greater mobility than before. However, to commemorate the first Soul Bone you obtained, you still named this footwork "Silver Moon Step," and also used it as a supplement to the Silver Moon Condensing Spirit Bone Soul Bone Technique, Silver Moon Step.]
