Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Although Dong Xingzhou recommended the ”Qi Gathering Technique” from the inferior cultivation techniques as the best choice,

now that he had this opportunity, Fang Yu naturally wanted to see what other Qi cultivation methods were like.

After all, this kind of opportunity was hard to come by.

It was through his undercover identity that he managed to acquire this chance, as per the merit calculation system of Foolish Underworld, considering the internal competition, one would usually not know how much toil and merit was needed to qualify for this opportunity.

Moreover, the cultivation techniques here were not incomplete ones obtained through Ding Hui’s illicit means, but each one had a complete cultivation method.

It was equivalent to being able to systematically learn the contents from beginning to end, which was quite tempting.

However, when Fang Yu casually took a cultivation technique from the cabinet and opened it, he realized he had thought too much.

The contents inside the secret manual were even more ridiculous than the incomplete ones.

Incomplete manuals still retained some initial content, with gaps only appearing later; however, the secret manuals in the cabinet only contained introductions, there was no cultivation part at all, just pieces of blank paper.

Apparently, only after choosing it and taking the manual away would the subsequent cultivation content be provided.

Fortunately, when these secret manuals introduced cultivation techniques, they described them in great detail, allowing one to understand the nature and specific effects of these Qi cultivation methods at a glance.

For example, ”Powerful Tiger Palm” is a technique that condenses the Dantian Qi in the right palm, simulating the force of a tiger demon when executing the move.

In the initial stage, there is only formless Qi; in the advanced stage, the Qi takes the form of a young tiger; in the ultimate stage, the Qi attached to the palm transforms, mimicking the majesty of the tiger demon, making it extremely powerful.

Before activating ”Powerful Tiger Palm,” there is a preparatory move where both hands come together, and the right palm collides with the left, evenly distributing the Qi from the right palm’s Dantian to the left palm, resulting in both palms possessing Qi force, and their combined movement doubles the power.

Of course, this is already a technique for those who have achieved proficiency in their cultivation.

Fang Yu then drew out other secret manuals and found that these Qi cultivation techniques were not much different from ordinary martial arts.

It’s just that the physical strength required in ordinary martial arts was replaced by Qi as the driving force to exhibit greater power.

Some attached the Dantian Qi under the soles, enhancing speed.

Some attached it to the knees, strengthening the power of knee jabs, and creating more variations from this core.

Others even attached it at the throat, using the invisible sound waves of Qi force to harm others.

Fang Yu understood.

This is the awakening in this game, or something like ultimate moves.

It’s about strengthening a particular type of skill single-handedly, thus forming one’s own exclusive skill style.

In other words, the so-called skill construction, or BD building.

After all, a game must have a diversity of styles; each style has its own features for players to experience.

And Qi cultivation techniques are clearly a watershed, allowing each player to have their own unique abilities, and thus differentiate themselves.

Otherwise, as before, if every player could practice any cultivation technique, wouldn’t that make them all more or less the same?

Fang Yu went through most of the medium-quality cultivation techniques in the second cabinet and realized all the techniques were... centered on a single Dantian.

In other words, there is only one Dantian, and only one needs to be cultivated.

This was somewhat different from the incomplete ”Cat Tail Force” Ding Hui gave him, which talked about cultivating three Dantians simultaneously.

Checking the third cabinet with inferior techniques, indeed, all were single Dantian cultivation techniques.

One or two might be coincidences.

But so many Qi cultivation techniques being single Dantian seemed a typical approach of Foolish Underworld, or...

Fang Yu looked towards the first cabinet.

Regrettably, he couldn’t inspect the contents of the first cabinet; otherwise, he would have liked to verify his hypothesis.

”One Dantian it is then, all techniques culminating into one; perhaps a single Dantian technique is indeed the strongest.”

Fang Yu thought silently before facing the dilemma of choosing a technique.

It really made him hesitate a bit.

Truth be told, he had thoroughly reviewed seven or eight techniques, all from the second cabinet of medium-quality techniques.

Aside from some special unconventional techniques, the quality difference between the third and second cabinet was quite obvious.

Like the second cabinet’s techniques, they often were created by the renowned so-and-so, or uniquely originated from certain sects, belonging to a quite high standard.

Whereas the third cabinet’s contents were somewhat obscure, having no notable origins, and occasionally included a passage about some martial artist’s sudden and fortuitous inspiration.

As for this so-and-so martial artist, whether they were well-known, there were no records at all.

Either this martial artist’s prowess was unfathomably deep, keeping their origins obscure,

or, they achieved limited accomplishment throughout their life, not worthy of marking down specifically.

Clearly, the latter possibility was more likely, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been relegated to the third cabinet.

Moreover, most of the techniques in the third cabinet had some inherent flaws, seemingly as if the creators, in their desperation to innovate a Qi cultivation technique, took unconventional approaches and barely managed to create these techniques.

Although successful, the innate flaws of these techniques were extremely apparent and required additional means to remedy.

For instance, the ”Dragon Sect Roar Skill,” which focused on the Dantian at the throat, is a typical example.

While ”Dragon Sect Roar Skill” was incredibly powerful, storing Dantian in the fragile throat caused significant damage to the throat, potentially causing permanent voice loss after a few years, making it impossible to use this technique ever again.

And although the technique’s focal point seems to be the throat, the organs in the chest were just as essential.
