Chapter 100 - 100 Limit
100 Limit
“First of all, I can exclude the Qi Resting Technique.” Xiao Shi thought to himself.
The effect of the Qi Resting Technique was mainly to reduce the consumption of Qi Force. The reason why Xiao Shi had consumed a lot of Qi Force was mainly because he had activated too few Qi vortexes.
After he activated more Qi vortexes, the decrease in Qi Force brought about by the Qi Resting Technique was completely enough. There was no need to upgrade it.
Bewildering Shadow Step could also be excluded. Although this movement technique could form an illusion while moving, making it difficult for people to distinguish his true body, it was ultimately lacking in lethality.
Even if he could create more illusions after leveling up, if he did not have enough strength, he could not kill them.
Xiao Shi also felt that there was no need to improve the Nine Vajra Body.
After all, the Nine Vajra Body had already reached the rank of Heaven. It might not be the strongest in the Heaven-rank, but the current Nine Vajra Body could reach the strength of the Blood Martial Realm after cultivating it.
Xiao Shi mainly considered the Vortex Expansion Technique, the Qi Slashing Saber, and the Invincible Saber Technique.
If he upgraded the Qi Slashing Saber, he might be able to make the two forms of the Qi Slashing Saber stronger. There might even be a third or fourth form. Moreover, having a powerful peerless weapon could often make up for the difference in cultivation.
The Invincible Saber Technique was a powerful saber technique. The only drawback of this saber technique was that it consumed too much Qi Force.
If he chose to upgrade this saber technique, with Xiao Shi’s previous experience of upgrading the Red Tiger Technique, the drawback of the Invincible Saber Technique consuming much Qi Force would definitely be repaired. At the same time, the power of the saber technique would be even stronger.
As a secret technique, Vortex Expansion Technique was also worth improving. This secret technique was already so powerful even though it was only at the Earth Rank. If it was raised to the strongest Heaven Rank, it would definitely be even more terrifying!
Secret techniques were rare to begin with. Heaven-rank secret techniques were even rarer.
Besides, Xiao Shi had also thought of looking for more suitable enhancement items among the many items he had obtained this time. Although he had obtained many items this time, there was nothing worth improving.
After some thought, Xiao Shi decisively chose to upgrade the Vortex Expansion Technique.
He had thought it through very clearly.
The Qi Slashing Saber and Invincible Saber Technique needed to be combined to unleash the greatest effect. If one was strong and the other was weak, the power of the two would definitely be limited.
Moreover, once he chose to upgrade the Qi Slashing Saber or Invincible Saber Technique, he could only use a saber in the Qi Martial realm. This would undoubtedly create a restriction on him.
For someone like him who was proficient in various weapons, there was no need to limit himself to saber techniques. If he could upgrade two at the same time, he could consider upgrading the Qi Slashing Saber and Invincible Saber Technique.
In a situation where it could only enhance one thing, Xiao Shi felt that enhancing the Vortex Expansion Technique was the most beneficial. After all, this was a secret technique!
After making a decision, Xiao Shi immediately spread out the entire Qi Martial Enhancement Scroll. The method of using this scroll was the same as the Cultivation Technique Upgrade Scroll back then.
He pressed his hands on the palm print corresponding to the scroll at the same time. Xiao Shi began to recall the contents of the Vortex Expansion Technique.
As he recalled, words immediately appeared on the blank scroll and filled the white scroll. After completing the record, the scroll automatically retracted.
He waited quietly for five seconds. After the scroll made new additions and modifications to the Vortex Expansion Technique, the scroll was unfolded.
As Xiao Shi placed his palm on the palm print of the scroll again, these words surged into his palm, and a brand new Vortex Expansion Technique appeared in his mind.
Xiao Shi realized the upgraded Vortex Expansion Technique did not change much. There was only one place that changed.
And that was, there would no longer be any restrictions on the expansion of each Qi vortex. He could continue to expand the Qi vortex to the limit.
The original Vortex Expansion Technique could only expand once per vortex.
But now, every Qi vortex could continue to expand until it reached its limit.
“If that’s the case, then my Qi vortex alone might be comparable to ten Qi vortexes or even more!”
Xiao Shi’s heart trembled.
After expanding his Qi vortex once, the strength of just one Lunar Qi vortex was already comparable to eight Qi vortexes of an ordinary person. Of course, it was in comparison to an ordinary Qi vortex.
If it was a special Qi vortex, it was, at most, comparable to two special Qi vortexes.
However, if he could continue to expand, then the strength of his Lunar Qi vortex would reach an even more terrifying level. Once he activated a hundred Lunar Qi vortexes and expanded them to the limit, his strength would definitely be invincible in the Qi Martial Realm!
Just this alone made Xiao Shi feel that this enhancement was worth it!
This was what the strongest Heaven-rank secret technique should be like.
As long as he could activate a hundred Lunar Qi vortexes and expand them to the limit, he would not need to cultivate other cultivation techniques. At that time, he would directly reach the strongest Qi Martial Realm.
Xiao Shi’s heart instantly burned.
Still, although the expansion of the Qi vortex was no longer limited, there were more requirements for items that could expand the Qi vortex.
The first expansion of the Qi vortex required one item.
The second expansion of the Qi vortex required two items.
The third expansion needed three items.
And so on.
Xiao Shi could imagine if he wanted to expand a Lunar Qi vortex to the limit, he would definitely need a lot of items. Ordinary people would find it difficult to take out so many items even if they obtained such a secret technique.
However, this was not too difficult for Xiao Shi.
Currently, he has many Qi Martial-level items on hand.
“Let’s try it!”
Xiao Shi could not wait to take out two Qi Martial-level items. He devoured these two Qi Martial items through the Lunar Qi Force in his body, turning them into an energy that could expand the Qi vortex.
Usually, the stronger the item, the greater the expansion after devouring it.
Whoosh!
After devouring these two Qi Martial items, Xiao Shi could clearly feel the Lunar Qi vortex in his body expand, but it was not as big as the first time. Clearly, as it continued to expand, the further it went, the smaller the range of each expansion.
Xiao Shi was deep in thought. He took out three more Qi Martial-level items and devoured them.
Just like that, he continuously took out items to devour. The Lunar Qi vortex in his body had already expanded by a whole circle after devouring fourteen Qi Martial-level items in a row.
But it still hadn’t reached its limit!!
Xiao Shi took a deep breath. There was a hint of determination and decisiveness in his eyes. He wanted to see the limit of this Lunar Qi vortex.
Whoosh!
He took out six more Qi Martial-level items. All of them were devoured. Till now, he had already devoured as many as 20 Qi Martial items without counting the first expansion. However, even after devouring so much, he still had not reached his limit.
“Keep going!”
Xiao Shi’s eyes were filled with madness.
Seventh, eighth…
Until he devoured 35 Qi Martial items in a row.
Boom!
His Lunar Qi vortex had finally reached its limit!
“Including the items that I devoured during the first expansion, I used a total of 36 Qi Martial-level items to expand this Lunar Qi vortex to the limit.” Xiao Shi sighed.
It was all thanks to his two attacks that he had accumulated many Qi Martial-level items. Otherwise, he would not have been able to take out so many Qi Martial items to devour.
At the same time, when this Lunar Qi vortex expanded to its limit, it immediately shook violently. The Lunar Qi vortex, which had originally expanded to an extremely large area, actually began to shrink at this moment.
“That’s not right. It’s… compressing!”
Xiao Shi paid close attention. Although the range of the vortex was constantly shrinking, its depth was continuously increasing as it was compressed. This caused the entire Qi vortex to spin even faster, and there was more and more Lunar Qi Force inside.
Even Xiao Shi’s body was vaguely modified. This modification was not obvious and was very weak. However, Xiao Shi clearly sensed it.
He had a feeling.
Every Lunar Qi vortex that expanded to the limit would cause his body to undergo subtle minor modifications. As these minor modifications continued to accumulate, perhaps it would form an unexpected improvement at the end.
“It seems that there are still some secrets I don’t know about the limit of the Lunar Qi vortex!”
Xiao Shi’s eyes flickered. He raised his head and looked at the Lunar Qi not far away. He did not know if it was because of the change in his body, but he felt that his perception of the Lunar Qi was much sharper and stronger than before.
There was no need to get close. He just grabbed at the air, and the Lunar Qi in the distance floated towards him automatically. There were a total of three balls of Lunar Qi here. After Xiao Shi grabbed one of the balls of Lunar Qi, he took the opportunity to absorb it into his body and guided it to wander in front of the many Qi locks in his body.
He was thinking about which Qi Lock to break this time. Because these Qi Locks are not consistent. Some of the Qi Locks were stronger, while others were looser. Xiao Shi felt that it was impossible to break through some of the firm Qi Locks with just a wisp of Lunar Qi.
“Now that I have three balls of Lunar Qi, should I try to break the stronger Qi Lock?”
Xiao Shi thought for a moment. In the end, he gave up on this thought. He felt that it was best to activate as many Qi vortexes as possible. After all, he had activated too few Qi vortexes. Hence, he chose a relatively loose Qi Lock.
Boom!
He controlled the ball of Lunar Qi and collided with it.
Under this violent collision, Xiao Shi’s body trembled. The Qi Lock that was hit cracked and shattered. A dazzling light spot emitted a dazzling light at the spot where the Qi Lock shattered, forming a deep black vortex.
The second Lunar Qi vortex was successfully activated.
