Complete Martial Arts Attributes - Chapter 3246
Chapter 3182 Use me! Trust me, it’s a sure thing! I’m both frustrated and happy!
Roford was filled with resentment, feeling he was very likely to be tricked by Wang Teng.
A strong sense of malice seemed to emanate from Wang Teng,
subtle yet palpable.
He couldn’t be wrong.
This kid was making no attempt to hide it!
So blatant!
“Ahem~”
Wang Teng thought to himself, “This is bad,” and quickly coughed, saying,
“I just think this method might be very suitable for you. I absolutely have no ulterior motives; it’s entirely for your own good.”
“For my own good?” Roford didn’t believe him at all, scoffing, “Your eyes tell me you’re not that selfless.”
“No, what about trust between people?” Wang Teng asked righteously.
“No!” Roford showed no mercy.
“…”
Wang Teng was speechless, clutching his chest, looking very hurt.
However…
“Go on, tell me more. I’ll listen.”
Roford ultimately couldn’t resist the temptation of the new method and continued to ask questions.
He still didn’t quite understand Wang Teng’s “butterfly emerging from its cocoon” method; he couldn’t grasp the key points.
If Wang Teng’s words made sense, he wouldn’t mind considering it.
At their level, they never lacked the courage to take risks.
It all depended on whether the reward was proportional to the risk.
If the chances were slim and the effect insufficient, he naturally wouldn’t take the risk.
Because it was completely unnecessary.
Wang Teng glanced at him, a half-smile on his face.
Little brat! All talk
and no action, but he’d already given himself away.
However, he didn’t say anything, simply continuing his explanation:
“This so-called ‘Breaking the Cocoon’ method involves using your own power to cover your entire body.”
“After pushing it to its limit, your body should continue to crystallize, and eventually your entire body will become a crystal.”
Hearing this, Luo Fude’s lips twitched involuntarily. This sounded increasingly unreliable.
Although he already knew the consequences of pushing his own power to its limit,
he really hadn’t expected Wang Teng to make him completely crystallize his body.
It felt extremely dangerous!
He had imagined what he would become if his body were completely crystallized.
The consequences would be absolutely terrifying.
Even an Immortal-level Venerable would likely have to abandon this body in such a situation.
The price to pay for rebuilding the body then would undoubtedly be far greater than dealing with the crystals within it now.
However, seeing Wang Teng’s confident demeanor, he decided to continue listening without interrupting.
Wang Teng had originally planned to face Roford’s barrage of questions, but this time he surprisingly held back.
He continued, “After becoming a crystal, your body is actually very close to the essence of power.”
“The essence of power?!” Roford’s heart skipped a beat, as if he understood something.
“That’s right, I want to bring your body completely close to the essence of your cultivation technique’s power.”
Wang Teng smiled and said, “Your current problem is that your physique can’t keep up, so you can’t get close to the power of the technique.”
“But my method can take a different approach, allowing your body to get close to the essence of the technique’s power.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Fude stroked his chin, his eyes flashing, and pondered, “I think I understand a little.”
“You want to bring my body close to that state, and then use that power to break through the shackles of my physique?”
…
“Yes and no!”
Wang Teng shook his head and said,
“I mainly want to use your poison-type power to corrode and erode your body, and then use wood-type power to forcibly maintain and regenerate your life.”
“This cycle will achieve a balance between annihilation and repair, maintaining your physical condition.”
“And this whole process is undoubtedly about removing impurities from your body, allowing your body to undergo transformation and sublimation.”
Luo Fude was once again immersed in the scenario described by Wang Teng, his eyes shining brighter and brighter.
He didn’t even realize that he had been fooled by the beautiful result described by Wang Teng again.
This wasn’t because Roft was too naive, but rather because Wang Teng’s theoretical knowledge was truly terrifying.
In this regard, while Wang Teng might not be able to completely overwhelm Roft, an Immortal-level Venerable, he could certainly intimidate him.
Let alone Roft,
even someone like the Starfall Venerable of the Mechanical Race, who possessed a vast amount of information, would likely find it difficult not to be intimidated.
“How about it?”
Wang Teng stared into Roft’s eyes, seemingly trying to discern his thoughts, and smiled,
“What do you think of my method?”
“Wait! Wait! Let me sort this out.” Roft tried to understand, wanting to find the problem.
He felt this method wasn’t so simple; the difficulty aside, the main issue was…
“By the way, how do you guarantee my body won’t be completely corroded?”
Roft suddenly found the problem and immediately asked.
Using wood-type power to maintain life was indeed not wrong, but achieving the right balance was difficult.
How to maintain the balance between poison and wood-type power?
“I know your concerns,” Wang Teng said calmly. “Maintaining life with wood-elemental power requires an additional force.”
“An additional force?” Roft frowned. “Does that mean we need to rely on other spiritual objects again?”
“Not other spiritual objects, but…me!” Wang Teng gave a thumbs-up, pointing to himself.
“You!??”
Roft was stunned.
“Yes, it’s me. Actually, just like the first method, I need to be involved to assist.” Wang Teng nodded.
Roft stared into his eyes, thoughtfully saying, “It seems you are very confident in your methods.”
If he still couldn’t figure out the key to this by now, he would truly be unworthy of being an Immortal-level Venerable.
The first method worked, and so did the second, showing that Wang Teng indeed possessed some means to assist him.
Considering that Wang Teng also possessed wood and poison attribute talents, more guesses arose in his mind.
Talent?
A rare treasure?
Or something else…
As for what kind of means it was, he couldn’t figure it out for the time being and could only wait for the future.
Wang Teng simply smiled and didn’t say anything more.
“What do you think the chances of this method succeeding are?” Luo Fude pondered for a moment and asked the most crucial question.
“Currently, I only have a 70% chance, but it might be higher in the future,” Wang Teng said conservatively.
“How much? 70%?!?” Luo Fude was astonished and asked again incredulously.
“You heard me right, it’s 70%!!” Wang Teng said confidently.
“How can it be so high?” Luo Fude was still somewhat incredulous.
70%!
This level of certainty was enough for him to take a gamble!
But from Wang Teng’s tone, it seemed that this was already an extremely conservative estimate; the other party even said it could be higher in the future.
Really?
Unbelievable.
How could Wang Teng be so confident?
“High?” Wang Teng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, and asked in return, “I feel it’s already quite low.”
“…”
Luo Fude opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately couldn’t utter a single word.
Low?
Where the hell did you get the idea that a 70% chance of success is low?
He seriously suspected that his thought process was completely different from Wang Teng’s, otherwise how could there be such a huge misunderstanding?
It’s really unbelievable!
“Don’t worry, trust me, it’s very stable.” Wang Teng said confidently.
“…”
Luo Fude really wanted to complain.
But after thinking about it carefully, Wang Teng was indeed quite reliable, which could be seen from his performance on the battlefield.
Besides, he had followed Wang Teng for so long and seen many things from him, and there was almost nothing unreliable about him.
“Alright, what’s the third method?”
Luo Fude stopped dwelling on this question and asked about the third plan.
“For this third method, I plan to start with the Ancient Poison Butterfly.”
Wang Teng said calmly.
“Ancient Poison Butterfly.”
Luo Fude breathed a sigh of relief; this method finally overlapped with the methods he knew.
“What, you already knew this method?” Wang Teng said meaningfully.
“That’s right.”
Luo Fu Te laughed,
“Your third method is probably to absorb the power of the Ancient Poison Butterfly to strengthen my physique and thus break through, right?”
“Wrong! Completely wrong!” Wang Teng shook his head, “If it were that simple, I wouldn’t have put it third.”
“Hmm?” Luo Fu Te was slightly taken aback, looking at Wang Teng with some puzzlement.
He actually guessed wrong!
How could that be?
Besides directly absorbing the power of the Ancient Poison Butterfly to strengthen the physique, what other way is there?
“Hehe, you don’t know, do you?”
Wang Teng smiled teasingly.
“Tell me! Tell me!” Luo Fu Te rolled his eyes at him impatiently and urged.
This guy really has a wicked sense of humor. He realized that the other party
was probably just trying to see him make a fool of himself by not saying so.
And he had just been a little smug, thinking that he finally had a method like Wang Teng’s.
He had to admit that Wang Teng was indeed quite capable.
So much so that Luo Fufu felt quite honored if his method was the same as Wang Teng’s.
However…
he had underestimated the problem.
Wang Teng’s method was completely different from his.
What a rip-off!
Seeing Luo Fufu’s discomfiture, Wang Teng couldn’t help but smile inwardly. Then, he stopped being mysterious and said directly,
“My method is also very simple. It involves using the soul of the Ancient Poison Butterfly to resonate with your physique!”
“The soul of the Ancient Poison Butterfly! Resonance!?” Luo Fufu frowned in thought, somewhat confused.
What help could the soul of the Ancient Poison Butterfly offer to his physique?
Although there was indeed some connection between physique and soul,
trying to improve one’s physique by using the power of the Ancient Poison Butterfly was putting the cart before the horse.
The essential power of the Ancient Poison Butterfly was the key to improving one’s physique!
Otherwise, the method he found wouldn’t have involved directly absorbing the power of the Ancient Poison Butterfly!
Moreover, rashly using the soul of the Ancient Poison Butterfly was actually a very dangerous act,
especially resonating with one’s own soul.
That would cause his soul to be affected by the soul of the Ancient Poison Butterfly, or even corrupted by it.
This is no joke!
Even an Immortal-level Venerable wouldn’t dare easily resonate with the souls of other beings.
Moreover, with Wang Teng’s third method, to induce that so-called resonance, the Ancient Poison Butterfly’s soul level must be quite high.
At least comparable to his own soul level.
“Wang Teng, are you aware of the risks involved?”
Luo Fude couldn’t help but ask.
“I know, you’re worried about your soul being affected, right?” Wang Teng said.
“Yes.” Luo Fude nodded in acknowledgment, looking at Wang Teng, intending to see what he would say.
“I’ve considered this for you too.”
Wang Teng stroked his chin, saying, “There are definitely risks, but I can minimize them.”
With the soul techniques he now possessed, controlling the Ancient Poison Butterfly’s soul wasn’t difficult. He
could even protect Luo Fude’s soul body.
So, he had considered both aspects.
Furthermore, the [Starlight Primordial Holy Water] he now possessed was also a powerful means to cleanse the soul’s power.
Even dark power could be purified, let alone ordinary poisonous power.
The ancient poisonous butterfly’s soul, extremely troublesome for ordinary martial artists, wasn’t so difficult for Wang Teng.
“You have another way?” Luo Fu was astonished.
Even soul-related problems could be solved; Wang Teng’s methods…
he was speechless.
Suddenly, he felt that his physical problems, in Wang Teng’s hands, weren’t so difficult to solve after all.
At this moment, Luo Fu was both frustrated and pleased.
All three methods were unexpected, completely different from his own.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, Wang Teng’s three methods were undoubtedly more astonishing, more effective, and more practical.
How could he not be frustrated? He
was completely outmatched.
All his previous efforts seemed to have been in vain.
Ridiculous!
But seeing so many feasible methods, he couldn’t help but feel happy, feeling a great deal of hope.
So, the question arose…
“Your third method is to make the soul of the ancient poisonous butterfly resonate with my physique, thereby improving my physique?”
Luo Fude asked for final confirmation.
“You’re wrong again.”
Wang Teng winked at him before explaining, “I want the soul of that ancient poisonous butterfly to resonate with your physique and cultivation technique, thus forming a cycle.”
“A three-way cycle!”
Luo Fude’s mind was struck as if by lightning, and he seemed to understand something instantly.
“Is this to use the power of the Ancient Poisonous Butterfly to allow my physique to absorb more power, thereby achieving an improvement?”
“This method is actually very similar to your first method, except that the Ancient Poisonous Wood is replaced with the Ancient Poisonous Butterfly.”
“You could say that,” Wang Teng nodded, saying, “Both involve introducing external force to achieve a certain balance.”
“However, the Ancient Poisonous Wood is a gentler method; it trades time for risk.”
“Using the soul of the Ancient Poisonous Butterfly, on the other hand, is a much faster way to achieve physique advancement, with much better results than the first method, but the risk is also slightly greater.” “
Of course, the second method still carries the greatest risk.”
“To put it bluntly, the three methods I’ve provided each have three risks and three corresponding success rates.” (End of Chapter)
