Chapter 782 – A Battle Skill That Surpasses All Origins Skills
Chapter 782 A Battle Skill That Surpasses All Origins Skills
Nanan could feel her heart thumping wildly against her chest just by looking at the book cover alone, for floating all around the book was the power of Origins. ‘A book Brother Li would read must hold unimaginable secrets!’
“Brother Li, can I read this book?” she asked.
Li Nianfan did not even need to think about it. He threw her the book and said with a smile, “Of course, you can. Here, take it.”
Then, he realized that the content of the book was of a completely different grade from the cultivating world of immortals. Hence, he added, “The skills in the book are really basic. You should just read it as entertainment.”
Without saying anything, Nanan and Dragin quickly flipped open the book. As soon as they opened the book, the first page seemed to overflow with a golden light, dazzling in front of their eyes. This was not an ordinary book as a world opened up in front of their eyes.
“These are clearly supreme divine skills. One move can unleash the potential of the power of Origins, and it can even generate endless changes in an instant. One move after another, complementing each other, and winning over the wonders of heaven and earth!”
Just the first page was enough to immerse Nanan in the book, for it opened up a whole new world for her.
“And Brother Li called these skills basic? And to see it as entertainment?” Although they should be used to Li Nianfan’s awesomeness by now, their scalps were still tingling. “Compared to the skills in this book, the Origins skills are just kindergarten level. Even a thousand Origins skills combined can’t compare to these!”
They were shocked until they could not be any more shocked. They started to immerse themselves in the book. Before their eyes, the pictures in the book seemed to separate themselves from the paper as they started playing out each move in front of them, eclipsing the whole world.
Li Nianfan ignored them and refocused his attention on the wolfberry. Then, he poured some hot tea and added the wolfberry in. The effect of the wolfberry was very good. It could nourish the liver, kidney, and lungs. Not to mention, it could also remove one’s body heat and improve one’s eyesight. Overall, one would feel more energetic after drinking it.
Therefore, it was not uncommon to see people carrying a thermos of wolfberry tea once they had reached middle-aged. This might sound stereotypical, but it was undeniable that wolfberries were the best choice for maintaining a healthy body. Drinking wolfberry tea long-term could really benefit the body immensely.
‘Of course, I’m not drinking for the health benefit. I just like that taste, that’s all,’ thought Li Nianfan as he leisurely sipped on the wolfberry tea.
After a while, Nanan and Dragin took their noses out of the book, their eyes revealing looks of enlightenment. They had certainly benefited a lot from the ocean of knowledge. The book contained a kind of battle skill that far surpassed any Origins skills. They were enough to dominate those of the same rank, and even those one rank above it! For example, a person’s strength can only exert 10 attacks at most without the battle skills, but with these battle skills, one could exert 20 or even 100 attacks!
Then, Dragin noticed the tea Li Nianfan was drinking and asked curiously, “Brother Li, are wolfberries used for making tea?”
“That’s right. You can eat them, too.” Li Nianfan nodded and then said, “But the quality of this wolfberry isn’t that great. It’s not fleshy enough and the taste is a little lacking.”
‘This wolfberry was grown in the Origins Pond of Holy Dimension, so of course, it isn’t that great. I bet the quality will be ten times higher if Brother Li planted it!’ thought Nanan and Dragin knowingly.
“Brother Li, Dragin and I will definitely bring the vines back for you!” said Nanan determinedly.
Dragin nodded vigorously and said, “Brother Li likes to drink wolfberry tea, so we must bring back the wolfberry vines!”
Li Nianfan nearly coughed out his tea. “Nonsense! It’s not that I really like it. It’s just that I’d drink it from time to time.” After a pause, he said worriedly, “Also, have you forgotten that the two of you were nearly killed by the baddies? The two of you should stay home until things calm down.”
Nanan tilted her chin arrogantly and said, “Humph! We weren’t fully prepared the last time, but this time we’ll definitely bring the fruit trees back!”
Initially, Nanan and Dragin returned to ask for reinforcements, but after reading ‘A Course on Chinese Martial Arts’, they suddenly decided to take matters into their own hands.
‘Brother Li must’ve taken out this book because he wants us to learn the skills inside, so we can take revenge on our own!’ With the book in their hands, Nanan and Dragin led the Milk Cow to the backyard. Then, they stayed there to practice martial arts.
“Ha!” Nanan shot out like an arrow and punched the space in front of her. An explosion resounded in the air, deafening all those around them. With her power, this punch should have formed a terrifying shock wave, blasting away everything in front of her. However, what was extremely strange was that, except for the sound, it did not cause the slightest damage. Not even the space trembled. The power of Origins was clearly condensed on her fist, and there were even a lot of Origins circulating her. It would be a grave mistake to think that the punch was not powerful. Even a third-step Wisdom Elite would be instantly killed with that punch. That was exactly what made the battle skills so terrifying-it could maximize the power of Origins, so that every trace of power could be concentrated on where it mattered.
The power of a Wisdom Elite was very terrifying. Each strike used an immense amount of Origins which inevitably causes the power to be scattered. Even the Origins skills, though powerful, actually consumed a lot of unnecessary power. It was just like using a thick stick to poke the ground, only a shallow mark would be made, but with a small needle, a deeper mark could be made.
Although the cultivation base of Nanan and Dragin did not improve significantly after practicing, the control of power and the skills in battle they gained were incomparable.
Nanan and Dragin exhaled softly as they finished their practice. They could feel that their mana had condensed a lot. They looked at each other, smiled, and continued to read the book. “The last half of the battle skills are so difficult. I can’t make sense of them at all,” said Dragin in dismay.
“These battle skills are so much harder to cultivate even though they don’t have the destructive power of an Origins skill. But there’s no denying that they’re more useful than the Origins skill, for they were born to be used in battle!” exclaimed Nanan. She then sighed and continued, “It’ll be hard for us to master it within a short time.”
“Then, should we continue to practice?” asked Dragin.
A cold light flashed in Nanan’s eyes and in a thick voice, she said, “No. We should go get our revenge first!”
They had entered a bottleneck. It was better if they could gain more battle experience. Besides, she was no longer afraid of Master Thunder now that she had leveled up. The most important thing for them to do now was to rescue Su Chen and the others. They shuddered when they thought of what would happen if they arrived late.
