CHAPTER 401: CHAPTER 389: DRAGON ELEPHANT POWER (SEEKING SUBSCRIPTIONS)

"I wonder what new traits will be unlocked next."

Chen Fan pondered silently.

He invested another ten thousand Experience Points, and the Skill Level of Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill increased by a quarter.

This was somewhat surprising to him.

Under normal circumstances, the Experience Points consumed this time should be twice that of the previous time, which is thirty-two thousand points.

But it actually required forty thousand?

"Forget it."

He shook his head. Different cultivation techniques require different amounts of Experience Points, and in any case, he still had nearly three million Experience Points left, so he wasn’t worried about maxing it out.

He added the remaining thirty thousand Experience Points.

A familiar warm current flowed through his body, and then it was gone.

"Looks like there’s no new trait unlocked this time."

Chen Fan looked at the Skill Bar.

Just as he anticipated.

No new traits appeared.

However, to be safe, he clicked on the Round Ruyi trait and upgraded Blessing Power from Level 1 to Level 2.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Not unlocking new traits wasn’t an issue; this passive trait was already strong enough.

After consuming eighty thousand Experience Points, the Skill Level of Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill increased again.

[Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill: Entering the Hall (0%), Traits: Unbreakable Level 3, Round Ruyi]

Still no new traits.

Chen Fan frowned slightly.

Could it be that only upon reaching the Perfection Realm can the third trait be unlocked?

This time, he invested a full sixteen thousand Experience Points.

A flash of inspiration crossed his mind, clearly indicating a new trait had been unlocked.

Chen Fan was immediately thrilled and quickly looked at the Skill Bar.

[Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill: Great Success (0%), Traits: Unbreakable Level 4, Round Ruyi, Vajra Indestructible Body Level 1]

"Vajra Indestructible Body?"

Chen Fan’s breath quickened, and he was somewhat in disbelief.

He was not surprised by this trait; after all, it was the essence of this martial art.

Only, he was a bit surprised that it could be unlocked at the Great Success Realm.

"Vajra Indestructible Body..."

Chen Fan muttered to himself, nervously clicking on it.

[Vajra Indestructible Body: When not activated, it increases defense tenfold, and resistance to poison and the elements of water and fire tenfold. When activated, it consumes one hundred thousand True Qi per second, forming a layer of Golden Armor covering the entire body, simultaneously enhancing defense and resistance a hundredfold, and increasing strength and agility tenfold. Each level up of the skill reduces True Qi consumption by 10% per second]

"My heavens..."

Chen Fan gasped in amazement.

In the unactivated state, it increases defense tenfold?

What does that mean?

Even in his current state, with all his trump cards revealed, his physical defense was only slightly over tenfold.

And this tenfold defense wasn’t just referring to physical defense but also tenfold spiritual defense!

The passive effect of Vajra Indestructible Body alone was this powerful.

This doesn’t even include the passive effect of enhanced resistance!

With his constitution attribute reaching fifty to sixty thousand points, his resistance to poison was already at a terrifying level, and now this ability increased it tenfold more!

He didn’t even dare to contemplate further.

The key is that these two were just the enhancements from the unactivated state of this trait.

When activated, it directly provides hundredfold defense, resistance to poison, and the elements of water and fire, along with tenfold increase in strength and agility!

Chen Fan looked at his attributes— with sixty thousand points in strength, activating Vajra Indestructible Body would push it to six hundred thousand points!

Simply relying on this physical strength without any True Qi was enough to punch through a Commander-level Fierce Beast, right?

However, the True Qi consumption rate of Vajra Indestructible Body was also extremely terrifying.

One hundred thousand True Qi per second.

Even with his current True Essence reaching twenty thousand, equating to two million True Qi, he could only maintain this skill for twenty seconds.

Moreover, there was another slightly unfortunate aspect.

Chen Fan’s gaze fell on the last line of the trait description.

Each level up of the skill reduces True Qi consumption by 10% per second.

In other words, levelling up Vajra Indestructible Body does not enhance defense, resistance, or other attributes; it only reduces consumption and prolongs the skill’s duration.

"Hundredfold defense is already incredible."

Chen Fan muttered.

It’s important to note that the total defensive capability still depends on basic attributes, or rather, basic attributes are the foundation of everything.

The higher the physical and spiritual attributes, the greater the enhancement from Vajra Indestructible Body.

He may not be able to improve the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill further, but he can continue to enhance his basic attributes.

"There’s one last skill level remaining. I wonder if it can unlock a fourth trait."

After consuming three hundred and twenty thousand Experience Points, the Skill Level of Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill reached Perfection.

However, to his disappointment, it did not unlock a fourth trait.

[Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill: Perfection (non-upgradable), Traits: Unbreakable Level 5, Round Ruyi, Vajra Indestructible Body Level 2]

Chen Fan nodded in satisfaction; the improvement this martial art brought was still significant.

In total, a fifteen thousand point boost to basic attributes, a 50% damage increase, and a tenfold boost to defense and resistance.

All these didn’t even require activation to be effective.

Once activated, it grants hundredfold physical and spiritual dual defense, equating to the defensive effect of five million points in constitution attribute. Even a Commander-level Fierce Beast’s full-strength strike would feel like a scratch, and it could probably withstand a full-strength strike from a Beast King-level Fierce Beast.

Additionally, this martial art does not fear Acupoint Cutting or martial arts that absorb power, nor does it have any Cultivation Gate, making it almost perfect.

In a fight against someone who activated Vajra Indestructible Body, one either overpowers the opponent in combat strength or waits for their transformation duration to expire; otherwise, defeat is inevitable.

"No wonder it’s called Supreme Martial Arts. Even mastering just this one is enough to dominate Yan Country."

Chen Fan sighed.

His anticipation for mastering the next Supreme Martial Art grew stronger.

[Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill: Completely Ignorant (0%)]

This martial art has thirteen levels in total.

With every level trained, it adds the Power of One Dragon and One Elephant. By the tenth level, one acquires the Power of Thirteen Dragons and Thirteen Elephants!

Considering the Power of One Elephant as twelve thousand five hundred pounds, the Power of Thirteen Elephants is one hundred sixty-two thousand five hundred pounds, the Power of One Dragon being one hundred twenty-five thousand pounds, and the Power of Thirteen Dragons being one million six hundred twenty-five thousand pounds, it totals one million seven hundred eighty-seven thousand five hundred pounds!

Converting this into strength attribute, it’s nearly one hundred eighty thousand points!

This is three times Chen Fan’s current strength attribute!

In other words, merely mastering this martial art would boost his strength attribute several times over!

Such a boost is unparalleled by any previous martial arts, even among the Supreme Martial Arts.

Of course, nothing is perfect; such a significant boost to the strength attribute also has its shortcomings.

Difficulty!

According to the description, the first level alone was enough to block ninety percent of people.

If a person with extraordinary talent successfully trains the first level, training the second level would require double the time, with each subsequent level being twice as difficult as the previous one, all the way to the thirteenth level.

To give an example, if someone could train the first level in one year, they would need two years for the second level, four years for the third level, eight years for the fourth level, sixteen years for the fifth level, and thirty-two years for the sixth level—by then, they’ve only reached half of the thirteen levels.

Beyond this point, training the seventh level would take sixty-four years, the eighth level, an entire hundred twenty-eight years. To train the thirteenth level, one would need over a thousand years!

What concept is this? An ordinary person’s lifespan barely surpasses a century; even for a True Essence Martial Artist, it’s only two to three hundred years.

Therefore, the difficulty essentially dooms it to be untrainable unless an extremely rare prodigy, appearing once in ten thousand, even a hundred thousand years, could master the first level in a month or even a few days, thus making it more likely to reach the thirteenth level.

"Fortunately, I don’t need that much time."

A smile appeared on Chen Fan’s lips.

He glanced at his Experience Points, still approximately two million four hundred thousand left. It should be enough to max out this martial art.

Even if not, it would be sufficient.

Chen Fan invested ten thousand Experience Points.

Instantly, a surge of power coursed through his body, strength increasing.

"So fast?"

Chen Fan was a bit startled and looked at it.

[Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill: First Level (12.5%), Trait: Dragon Elephant Power Level 1]

[Dragon Elephant Power: Each level up enhances strength attribute by thirteen thousand seven hundred fifty points]

"No wonder, the first level only required ten thousand Experience Points."

Chen Fan realized, then took a deep breath.

This should be just the beginning.

He spent another ten thousand Experience Points, and Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill reached the second level.

The increased strength attribute reached over twenty thousand points.

The third level.

The fourth level.

The fifth level.

The Experience Points on the panel rapidly depleted.

The sixth level consumed over two hundred fifty thousand Experience Points.

[Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill: Sixth Level (12.5%), Trait: Dragon Elephant Power Level 6]

Level 6 Dragon Elephant Power enhanced strength attribute by eighty-two thousand five hundred points, directly doubling it.

"To reach the seventh level, it requires six hundred forty thousand Experience Points; even with Moon Observation Technique’s 20% Experience Points reduction, it still needs five hundred thousand. The eighth level would need a million, and the ninth level, two million!"

Chen Fan glanced at the remaining Experience Points, which were still around two million.

But at this rate, even the ninth level wouldn’t be achievable.

The key point is, the Experience Points consumed continue to double, but the enhancements remain the same, meaning the cost-effectiveness is reduced.

This inevitably felt a little unfair.

Chen Fan pondered seriously for a moment, then changed his initial plan.

Improving the levels of Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill could be temporarily set aside.
