This talent seemed to be very powerful!
Lin Shen's eyes lit up.
A Perfection martial technique could increase the cultivation speed and power of a martial technique by 10%.
It didn't seem much, but that was the effect on all martial techniques!
All martial techniques, regardless of type, could be enhanced and improved by this talent.
Moreover, it also had a lot of potential.
After raising it to its limit, it could increase the cultivation speed of martial arts techniques by up to 200% and the power of martial arts techniques by 100%. The effect was double that of Superior Martial Arts!
Although Pure Yang Body could provide a 300% increase in martial arts cultivation speed and a 100% increase in martial arts power, it was only effective on Yang attribute cultivation techniques.
On the other hand, Analogy was a talent that could be used in all martial techniques. It was obviously the superior one!
"The only problem is that it's not easy to reach the upper limit. I have to reach Perfection in twenty martial techniques."
The martial techniques that Lin Shen had cultivated to Perfection were Blazing Sun Palm, Meltdown, Shadows, Dragon Roar Through the Clouds, and Forbidden Golden Armor.
There were only five.
As a result, he would have a 50% increase in the cultivation speed of martial arts and a 25% increase in the power of martial arts. It was only half the effect of the Superior Martial Arts talent.
"But it doesn't matter. I just need to cultivate more martial techniques.
The upper limit is high enough for the effort!"
Lin Shen smiled brightly and decided to accept this talent. He didn't want to take his chance with a new one.
"It's my lucky day. In the past, I had to revive the clone at least four to five times to obtain a good talent. This time, I hit the jackpot on the first go!
"As for martial techniques..."
Lin Shen thought of Iron Scale and Wolf Soul Claw that he had just obtained and shook his head with a smile.
He had just said that he didn't need to cultivate these two martial techniques. Who would have thought that he would eat his words in the blink of an eye?
In order to raise Analogy to the upper limit as soon as possible, he had to practice these two martial techniques.
"I'll reach Perfection in Essence Sword Finger and Supreme Yang Swordplay first before cultivating the Iron Scale Technique and the Wolf Soul Claw. After these four martial techniques all reach Perfection, I'll go to the Merit Hall to see if there are any suitable martial techniques to exchange for!"
There were countless martial techniques in the Merit Hall. As long as one had enough merit points, they wouldn't have to worry about not having martial techniques to cultivate.
Lin Shen didn't have to worry about this at all.
"I'll keep cultivating!"
Even though he hadn't slept the entire night and had just experienced a series of intense battles, Lin Shen was still in high spirits. He didn't go to bed and directly went to the cultivation room.
As usual, the three clones of the Pure Yang Body, Superior Martial Arts, and Analogy were in charge of cultivating martial arts.
Lin Shen and the remaining two clones focused on cultivating the Golden Crow Scripture.
Time quickly passed as he cultivated.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Lin Shen left the wooden building and rushed toward the Merit Hall.
Before he stepped into the Mission Hall, Lin Shen could hear the commotion from afar. It was as lively as a market.
When he walked in, he realized that many disciples had gathered inside. They were gathered in twos and threes and whispering to each other as if they were discussing something intensely. The entire hall was much livelier than usual.
Lin Shen came to the counter and asked Jiao Yu, "Did something happen?"
Jiao Yu turned around when she heard the voice. When she saw that it was Lin Shen, a bright smile bloomed on her face.
"Senior Brother Lin, I knew you would be fine!"
Lin Shen was slightly stunned. Then, he realized that the girl was talking about the Martial Enforcement Hall mission.
As expected, Jiao Yu continued,
"It's all because of the Martial Enforcement Hall's mission. Senior Brother Lin, you were there that night. You should know that there was an accident on the mission.
"I heard that tens of thousands of Hell Hornets appeared in the manor that night. The Martial Enforcement Hall was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. Even the disciples of the three great academies who participated in the mission suffered heavy casualties.
It's said that more than twenty disciples of our academy died. This is the most severe loss in recent years!"
Lin Shen was shocked.
Although he had long known that the academy disciples participating in the mission would definitely suffer significant losses, the number of casualties still exceeded his expectations.
There were only about 30 people in total. More than 20 people had died at once. The casualty rate was more than two-thirds. That was some heavy loss.
Lin Shen couldn't help but rejoice.
Fortunately, he was assigned to guard the outermost area of the encirclement. By the time Hell Hornets broke out of the encirclement and reached them, there were only 200 to 300 of them left.
If they were on the front line, they would have to face at least a thousand Hell Hornets.
Even he would find it difficult to deal with such a number of late-phase Spirit Awakening Stage spiritual beasts.
However, on second thought, if he hadn't stayed at the outermost layer of the encirclement, he might not have been targeted by Wan Zhaokun and Ji Lu.
It was only because he had the clones. Anyone else would definitely end up becoming the ingredients of those pills.
From this point of view, staying in the outermost area wasn't really a lucky thing.
It was a mixture of blessing and misfortune.
After sighing, Lin Shen was also a little happy.
That spiritual beast nest could summon tens of thousands of Hell Hornets. It seemed to be even more powerful than he had expected!
After breaking through to the Bright Aperture Stage, he could refine it and would have another powerful trump card!
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Lin Shen pointed at the people in the hall and asked,
"Why do these people look so excited?"
Jiao Yu curled his lips and whispered,
"The disciples who died in this mission are either Black-rank or Yellow-rank disciples. Some people are naturally very happy that more than 20 spots were vacated at once."
Lin Shen understood. He swept his gaze across the excited disciples and shook his head.
"By the way,"
Jiao Yu suddenly said.
"Senior Brother Lin, because of the incident in this mission, the Martial Enforcement Hall has decided to increase the reward to five minor merits. I'll help you register now.."
