Overgeared

Out of the one hundred and two Full Moon Fortresses, some were swarming with Absolutes, while others barely had any Transcendents around. It was pure RNG.

The teams that were unlucky enough to encounter strong enemies retreated without looking back. The rest of the teams managed to capture the fortresses only after fighting fiercely.

In this situation, time was of the essence. Both the teams that failed in their missions and those that succeeded moved to the next locations immediately.

They went to another Full Moon Fortress to understand the power level there.

The result—

By the time Grid destroyed six Full Moon Fortresses, they were able to determine how powerful most of them were.

“There’s a lot more than I thought...”

A big smile appeared on Grid’s face as he checked the new places Lauel marked on the map. There were fifteen locations in total, and some places had at least three Absolutes on site.

Grid was already looking forward to the loot he’d gain from conquering all of the fortresses. He had killed eleven Absolutes in the past four days and had finally mastered a technique—Profound Martial Technique.

The effect of this technique was simple. In exchange for removing the attributes of spiritual energy, it amplified its accumulation and power level.

At first, Grid had thought it was garbage. Most techniques had attributes. If the attributes of the techniques and the attributes of the spiritual energy possessed were combined, the technique would be greatly enhanced. Based on calculations, increasing the quantity and quality of spiritual energy with Profound Martial Technique would cause the attribute synergy with the techniques to be lost.

Therefore, he wasn’t initially interested. But after hearing a cultivator talk about the five elements, he changed his mind.

It was a symbol of incompetence. People could handle the five attributes, but the power of the five elements wasn’t too much to boast about and was weak in comparison.

If a person with the fire attribute spiritual root used the fire elemental technique, they would use 100% of their power. Meanwhile, if a person with the five elements spiritual root used the fire elemental technique, they would only use 50% of their power.

It wasn’t that someone with a fire spiritual root couldn’t use techniques of other attributes. Cultivators were able to learn and use all elemental techniques regardless of the elemental nature of their spiritual root. However, they could use those techniques at only half of their normal power.

In other words, someone with the five elements spiritual root could only use elemental techniques with their efficiency cut in half. It had no advantage over other spiritual roots of specific attributes.

In that sense, Profound Martial Technique was a technique that compensated for the weaknesses of the five elements root. It was safe to interpret it as a method created solely for this specific root.

From Grid’s perspective, there was no reason not to learn it. A light gray color flashed in Grid’s black eyes. This happened every time he used Profound Martial Technique to adjust the flow of the spiritual energy in his body.

Grid’s Transcendent senses accurately perceived and controlled the flow of spiritual energy extending from his dantian all the way to his extremities.

‘I think this will become addictive.’

He felt rejuvenated every time spiritual energy circled around his body. Plus, his total amount of spiritual energy would permanently increase by 120 every time he used this technique, which was quite a significant boost.
