Shadow Hack

So far, Li Yunmu had opened only seventy-two flux points and needed to open thirty-six more to reach the figure of perfect one hundred and eight flux points.

For now, each of his four limbs lacked four flux points. This was the most basic reason why fluxers were much weaker when compared to flux experts, whether it was in terms of kicking , punching, or using weapons. After all, the efficiency and amount of flux energy accumulated by the flux experts far surpassed what the fluxers possessed.

The most important fact was that when flux energy was poured into legs to launch a kick, it mainly relied on the instantaneous kinetic energy, just like rocket fuel. Flux experts had opened four more flux points in each limb which provided them with extra energy. When that was coupled with their innately more powerful bodies, fluxers could only bow their heads in surrender.

And this happened at the very start. As the cultivation layers increased, the disparity between the two groups became even larger.

Because of lacking the four flux points on each arm and leg, their peak speed was quite slow, and their explosive power was also much lower when put in comparison.

Another major faction was the chest region, in other words the upper half of the human body. There, fluxers lacked twenty flux points compared to the flux experts of the Origin World.

It really was like that and not a mistake in the text—it was twenty flux points and not two. This was the core of the disparity between the fluxers and flux experts. Even Li Yunmu hadn’t expected that of the thirty-six flux points fluxers lacked, twenty would be in the chest. No wonder then that he always felt like he didn’t have enough flux energy. It turned out that he lacked numerous flux points which stored flux energy in that area.

Chest was the core region of flux energy generation and storage. Fluxers only had sixteen flux points there, but flux experts had a total of thirty-six.

All of them were perfectly divided into three rings. The innermost ring contained six interlinked flux points while the middle ring had twelve. As for the outermost ring, it contained eighteen interlinked flux points.

As long as the thirty six points in the chest were opened, they would form a force field which not only would allow for the storage of far more flux energy and much faster generation, but also provide the person with a sort of reflective effect.

What did this imply? It was a formless defense which would reflect the energy of the attack and greatly increase the hardness of the inner organs.

Li Yunmu hadn’t yet gained the above-mentioned benefits. Gradually, his consciousness retreated from the learning sphere of Blue Moon Island. Although he had gone through the explanation when he had just entered Blue Moon Island, but at that time, he had just come in contact with an all new cultivation system and only read it once without trying to understand it.

But now that a year had passed and he had complimented his flux points, he again looked at it to gain a deeper understanding.

“In other words, I need to first fully open the sixteen flux points in the limbs, for only then will I be considered to have really become a high level flux expert. After that I’ll need to open another twenty flux points, finishing up all there is in the human boy. Only after reaching the consummate realm of opening one hundred and eight flux points will I truly be able to advance in cultivation.”

Li Yunmu was in a daze. Although his consciousness had retreated from the learning halo, he was still pondering over the new information he had obtained and ended up mumbling to himself.

“Yes, the cultivation of flux experts is divided into four layers. These four are initial stage, mid stage, late stage, and peak stage. Among them, the celestial point in the head is the only one in the initial stage.”

“When you open the celestial point, you cross the threshold of becoming a flux expert and formally start on the journey of cultivation. Although the celestial point doesn’t directly enhance your flux energy, but after opening it, your brain’s reaction speed increases greatly, giving you greater control over your body. So the people who have opened this flux point are called initial stage flux experts,” a familiar voice explained from the side.

The voice wasn’t very high, apparently to not allow the other disciples in Contribution Hall to know that Li Yunmu didn’t have the basic knowledge of flux experts.

“It’s you!”

Once Li Yunmu heard the voice, he was stunned. He quickly turned around and looked at the figure concealed by a dark cloak.

“En,” Night said with a nod.

The sight of her filled Li Yunmu with delighted, and a small smile came onto his face. He hadn’t expected that the second time he came to the Contribution Hall, he would encounter her again.

“It’s been awhile since I saw you,” she said after a moment’s thinking.

She was still the same and spoke few words. However, Li Yunmu didn’t know that the other people in the Contribution Hall were looking at him like he was a ghost.

The other disciples of Blue Moon Island who weren’t like Li Yunmu with another goal in their hearts so their entire focus was elsewhere all knew Night all too well.

It was one of the very few times when they had seen Night take the initiative to speak with someone apart from routine business, even if it was only a few words.

“I’ve been busy completing a core assignment for my faction these last few months,”Li Yunmu calmly replied.

“I know,” Night agreed. “Mid stage includes opening thirty-six flux points, which include sixteen in the chest and five on each of the four limbs. After this, the flux points on the four limbs are linked with those in the chest under the lead of the celestial point. This allows you to explode with flux energy.

“After you fill the thirty-six flux points of mid stage, it implies that you no longer need to rely on the strength of your flesh anymore and can use flux energy to battle vicious grade beasts.”

Night glanced at Li Yunmu, clearly knowing that he had only filled seventy-two flux points in his body.

He hadn’t cultivated in a systematic manner. When he used flux energy, he couldn’t make the best use of it because he hadn’t opened his flux points in the right manner.

However, she didn’t point it out before because she knew that this man had many secrets. He even had an extremely high level life-saving technique which was strong enough to help the Widowed Nakht of Hall Clan.

“Then how is the late stage distributed?” Li Yunmu asked in a low voice.
