Chapter 551: Admiralty Cover Reaches Great Circle

“1.78 million…”

Li Yunmu narrowed his eyes and looked at the number of comprehension points obtained in return for forgetting several hundred low level foundational skills.

Yet although this number appeared to be huge, it was only enough to upgrade three A grade foundational skills to great circle and nothing more.

Li Yunmu thought for a while and finally decided on Insect Step (Great Heights), Absolute Defense Tyrant Boxing (Perfection), and Violent Blade Tyrannical Heavenly Chop (Experience Makes Progress Easy). He raised these three skills to the ninth level, Extraordinary Sage, in proficiency by throwing all his comprehension points on them.

After this, only four hundred and eighty thousand remained of the original 1.78 million points.

But Li Yunmu wasn’t finished yet. Right after, he chose to use the breakthrough function on three A grade skills.

“System, have Insect Step, Absolute Defense Tyrant Boxing, and Violent Blade Tyrannical Heavenly Chop break through.”

The reason why Li Yunmu hadn’t chosen the suddenly appeared Violent Blade Critical Leap Strike, but one footwork method and two burst fatal moves had to do with the enemies he was facing at the moment.

Although each strike of Violent Blade Critical Leap Strike was more ferocious than the last one, it couldn’t inflict heavy injuries onto enemies of the same level or someone more formidable in one strike, but the other two skill could do that.

[Ding, each breakthrough for an A grade skill requires a hundred thousand comprehension points. So the system will deduct three hundred thousand comprehension points. Do you confirm the breakthrough?]

“Yes.”

Once he said those words, a shadow appeared in LI Yunmu’s mind. Using some fantastic movements which were hard to anticipate, it moved using high speed frequency conversion, leaving a false image with every step it took. When all nine moves had been unleashed, nine identical shadows dashed forward.

For a moment, even Li Yunmu felt a great headache while trying to distinguish between the false and true among the nine shadows. The people who could see through the essence of this technique were definitely terrifying existences.

“What formidable mirage footwork! This is the result produced after a great circle Insect Step broke through?”

Li Yunmu was stunned. This was the most formidable footwork method he had seen in recent times.

Not only did it allow the user to burst forth with extremely high movement speed, it also possessed properties like producing mirages. Once one divided into nine, it was basically impossible to anticipate which one was real. The technique had multitudes of changes, made it difficult to know what was false and what was real, and gave him a formidable boost in speed.

This was the final form of Insect Step once it had broken through.

After a series of repetitions, Li Yunmu finally became clear-headed and received system’s notification in his brain.

[Congratulations! Once your Insect Step reached Extraordinary Sage level, it smoothly broke through to S grade high speed frequency conversion method—Nine Phantom Heavenly Insect Step. Starting from now, your cultivation of Nine Phantom Heavenly Insect Step is at the first layer, initial stage.]

“Nine Phantom Heavenly Insect Step? Good, good good!”

Li Yunmu couldn’t help but continue praising it. The breakthrough of his Insect Step would increase his combat strength tremendously.

A formidable flux expert could do without a powerful cultivation method, but he absolutely needed a body tempering and movement technique.

After all, the existence of a formidable footwork technique would definitely influence their speed in a combat, whether it was dodging, fleeing for their life, or perhaps rushing to hunt down the enemy. A formidable footwork technique was necessary for all of those events.

The transformation of Nine Phantom Heavenly Insect Step instantly filled Li Yunmu with expectations for the breakthrough of Absolute Defense Tyrant Boxing and Violent Blade Tyrannical Heavenly Chop.

After the shadow in his consciousness sea finished demonstrating the Nine Phantom Heavenly Insect Step, its imposing manner changed. Power erupted from its body, and the shadow began to emit a powerful blade intent.

Peng.

The shadow suddenly chopped down, and the blade intent of this strike seemed to pass through space and time, breaking out of Li Yunmu’s consciousness sea.

Instantly, his entire consciousness filled with the tyrannical blade intent of the chop.

[Congratulations host, your Violent Blade Tyrannical Heavenly Chop, the proficiency of which had reached Extraordinary Sage level, has broken through to S grade extremely fatal blade skill-Heavenly Blade. At this point, your Heavenly Blade is at the first step.]

After that, Absolute Defense Tyrant Boxing also didn’t disappoint him. The shadow in his brain collected the blade and dispersed the blade intent before launching an explosive punch. Once it was released, Li Yunmu felt like only this attack existed in the entire universe.

One punch to break the mountains, and one punch to blow away the heavens. There was no aggressiveness; only disaster and calamity.

[Congratulations, your Absolute Defense Tyrant Boxing, which had attained Extraordinary Sage level, broke through to S grade Fatal Boxing Disaster Punch. Right now, it is at the first layer, initial access.]

It was a great increase in strength!

Li Yunmu hadn’t expected that in a short time, he would surprisingly grasp two S grade fatal moves. Although the second technique, Unique Shadow Heavenly Blade Chop, comprehended by the shadows was also S grade, it was too wasteful. If he used this lethal skill, it would mean that all his shadows would be exterminated.

This had been his only S grade lethal skill—Unique Shadow Heavenly Blade Chop. Once he used it, all shadows would combine with him to launch a final strike.

After it, regardless of whether the enemy was heavily wounded or not, his shadows would be permanently exterminated and wouldn’t recover again.

Thus, after comprehending this extremely lethal skill, Li Yunmu had never dared to use. If he used it, that would mean that he had already stepped onto the road to disaster.

But his situation had changed. Hew as now in possession of Heavenly Blade and Disaster Punch as well as Nine Phantom Heavenly Insect Step. Although they didn’t increase his strength, and his innate expert armor didn’t reach the divine grade, he had become much more dangerous compared to before.

Before his foundational skills had broken through to S grade, his combat strength would have allowed him to fight against mid stage sage flux expert on equal terms at best. Yet right now, he had confidence in being able to kill a mid stage sage flux expert. In fact, he could even cut a path of blood under the eyes of a late stage sage flux expert by relying on Nine Phantom Heavenly Insect Step.

The difference between his situation before and now was extremely large. Earlier, he could only battle on even terms, while now he could kill.

After Li Yunmu finished sorting out the foundational skills, he continued with his unrelenting determination to grow stronger. His gaze thus fell upon the cultivation methods.

This time, he didn’t need to upgrade any cultivation methods other than body tempering ones. He wanted to increase the defense of his body to the pinnacle.

He didn’t hesitate to use the large amount of ability points he had saved up.

He had cultivated Admiralty Cover to sixtieth layer, but because the amount of ability points required to upgrade further was astronomical, he had stopped his cultivation of this method.

But now?

“System, increase the cultivation of Admiralty Cover to ninety-ninth level and don’t hesitate to pay any price.”

As for Devil Dragon Bone Refining Armor?

Previously, he had only cultivated this cultivation method to the thirtieth level and congealed a bone armor. After that, he hadn’t continued to upgrade the skill. Right now though, he used the ability points to upgrade it to great circle.

As for the Cross Cover Armor?

This was a cultivation method for physical flux experts of the Origin World. His cultivation of this method had reached ninety-ninth level long ago, which meant that his flesh had formed infinitesimally small square blocks.

Unfortunately though, his Great Sun Thunder Tyrant Body Muscle Marrow Secrets, which was his most powerful body refining cultivation method, couldn’t be upgraded by using ability points. This cultivation method needed an even higher quality energy unit to rise.

Anyway, Li Yunmu had used up his cherished ability points to increase the cultivation of Admiralty Cover and Devil Dragon Bone Refining Armor. Both of these tyrannical body refining cultivation methods had reached great circle.

And the amount of ability points which had reached above two hundred and seventy million had dropped to thirty million.

However, this price was completely worth it.

Admiralty Cover at ninety-ninth level didn’t reduce 99% of the incoming damage as Li Yunmu had imagined, since it apparently had a maximum limit of 70%.

However, after it had reached the great circle, Li Yunmu obtained a new formidable ability which was called—Admiralty War!
