Chapter 1179: Shall We Rework?

Eventually, Orphi recovered from his stupor. “Wait! What did you just say about my changes?”

Roan then repeated the same words once again. “Of course, I’ll test it out for you if you follow my directions. If you want to think about another solution on your own, I will wait for it.”

Orphi wanted to ponder over Roan’s words to see if they were feasible. However, there were two things that caught his attention and didn’t let him focus. First, it was how fast Roan comprehended his new meridian circulation method. Even if Roan knew the skill’s original meridian circulation method, he understood his changes way too quickly! That was simply ridiculous!The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

As for the second thing...

“Errr... here, take this healing pill. I don’t know how you can keep such an emotionless face after injuring your meridians to such an extent. It should be very painful, you know?”

Roan looked at his arm and nodded in response. “Indeed, the pain does bother me.”

‘Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!’

Roan’s hair changed into a mix of black and white, using Rean and his White Star’s Light Element to recover his arm. In just a few seconds, Roan’s arm was as good as new. If not for the blood on his clothes and skin, Orphi would think that the damage Roan suffered a moment ago was just an illusion.

‘Hmm?’ Rean then contacted Roan. ‘Are you in trouble?’

Eventually, Roan got up again and raised his White Star. “Very well, let’s try it once more.” He was still being paid to receive the backlashes of the first tries if they went wrong, after all.

*Swish!*

Another dummy was hit by Roan’s White Star after the afterimage passed through another part of its body first. This time, however, Roan raised his arm to look at it and didn’t feel anything wrong. “Seems feasible. The noise decreased while the speed and strength had become higher than what I had previously predicted.”

Orphi couldn’t help but feel excited. The total attack power of the skill as a whole increased by just ten or so percent. For cultivators, such an increase in an already known skill was a huge thing. “Great! Try it a few more times against the other dummies. Don’t worry, they were made by the Blacksmith Hall and can recover on their own.”

Roan nodded and used the Mantis Blade several more times until Orphi was finally satisfied. “Alright, that’s enough. Let me try it.”

‘Mantis Blade!’

The skill worked perfectly, just like it did with Roan. However, Orphi still felt a lot of pain in his arm, although no significant damage was taken. The problem is that he wouldn’t be able to use it constantly. “This...” He then looked at Roan and asked, “Didn’t you feel any pain?”

Roan shook his head in response. “No.” However, he knew the reason for that. “It’s not a problem with the skill, but our bodies. You cultivators focus too much on the cultivation level and use Divine Energy to strengthen your bodies. I, on the other hand, train my physical body and cultivation. Putting a strong body and my Divine Energy together makes it a lot more resistant than yours.”

Roan pondered over it for a bit before asking, “This version of the skill is too strong for you. Shall we rework it for weaker bodies?”

Roan didn’t have any intention of offending Orphi with that comment. However, Orphi’s pride did take a big hit after hearing that. “No need! From today onwards, I will work on my body as well!”
