Chapter 86 Optimizing "Raging Storm"
Chen Yuan clicked on the detailed introduction of "Raging Storm," his gaze quickly sweeping over the key information:
"Are there 72 essential natures of the fundamental laws of wind?"
"The secret technique's description states that as long as one grasps any one of its essences, one can easily cross the threshold of the laws—"
Chen Yuan looked down and noticed a passage of text highlighted in red, which seemed to be a warning.
[Note: The essence of the laws is extremely difficult to study; most realm lords never even begin to grasp its meaning in their lifetime. We advise you to choose this path carefully.]
"Extremely difficult? Choose carefully?"
Upon seeing this warning, Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile: "I like things that are difficult, the more difficult the better."
With an optimization system in place, the more complex the secret technique, the more its advantages can be brought into play.
So he looked directly at the price of the secret technique.
Price of "Raging Storm": 1000 points (no discount)
"1000 points?"
Chen Yuan glanced at the price and nodded slightly.
He originally just wanted to see if the secret technique could be sold in parts, but he didn't expect that the price of the whole secret technique was exactly 1000 points.
Coincidence?
He had just gained 1000 points by joining the Virtual Universe Company when he encountered a secret technique of equal value.
Chen Yuan shook his head. No, the secret method for studying the essence of laws shouldn't be so cheap.
The book I just read, "Willow Catkins," is clearly inferior to "Raging Storm," which requires 5000 points. There's no reason why "Raging Storm" should be lower.
While both are secret manuals for studying the essence of laws, "Bloodstained" is worth 800 points, but those are headquarters points.
One headquarters point is equivalent to at least one hundred million branch points, which means that "Bloodstained" is equivalent to at least eight hundred billion branch points!
Even if "Raging Storm" is just a secret manual for studying the essence of lower-level laws, the price difference shouldn't be so great.
Based on Chen Yuan's sense, this manual, even if it's not worth hundreds of millions of points, should be worth at least tens of millions.
But now you can buy it for a thousand points.
With these questions in mind, Chen Yuan looked up the prices of some secret techniques and compared them with the price of "Raging Storm".
"The Secret Manual of Flowing Wind" - 6800 points "Soul of Wind" - 12000 points "As expected, only the price of Mad Storm is wrong."
Despite some doubts, the opportunity was too good to pass up.
Chen Yuan reopened the purchase page for "Raging Storm" and, without hesitation, clicked to buy.
[Points -1000]
Purchase successful
The next second, a flash of light appeared, and a silver-white metal box suddenly appeared and landed on the floor.
"The manuals purchased from the branch office appeared directly at the residence? I thought I would have to go outside to receive them."
Chen Yuan shook his head. "That's right. There isn't even a manager here, so naturally it can't be made as realistic as the headquarters, Yuxiang Mountain."
The headquarters, Yuxiang Mountain, although also a virtual dimension, is incredibly realistic, with even dedicated personnel managing the manor.
Clean up.
Ziyao Peak is completely different. Just like the virtual universe outside, it is full of convenient intelligence. The ground is always spotless and there is no need for personnel management.
Purchasing a secret manual is not like buying one in real life, where it requires delivery or pickup.
"That's good, it saves a lot of trouble."
Chen Yuan opened the metal box and took out the books one by one, totaling seventy-three volumes.
Chen Yuan picked up the first volume and saw the words "Kuang Lan" written on the silver-white cover, and two smaller characters in the lower right corner: "Lan Jin".
"Is the author's name Lan Jin?"
Chen Yuan had the Wind Spirit look up the name and discovered that it belonged to a genius world lord from 30,000 epochs ago, a member of the Virtual Universe Company's Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, and was skilled in the Law of Wind.
Unfortunately, this realm lord did not break through to immortality. His last record was that he fell in the outer battlefield and was killed by an immortal demon.
"According to the records, this Lord Lan's strength was enough to be called a Lord-level warrior, and he could survive against ordinary immortals - but in the end he still died."
Shaking his head, Chen Yuan felt sorry for this realm lord, then opened the cover and looked at the contents of the manual.
Chen Yuan's eyes swept quickly across the pages, turning them one by one. With his current brain capacity, his reading speed was already very fast, and he could be described as having a photographic memory.
Ten minutes later, Chen Yuan closed the book and began to digest the contents of the first volume.
Just as he expected, this first volume mainly covers the precautions for cultivation manuals, as well as some of Lan Chi's thoughts on analyzing the essence of the laws, which can be considered the general outline of the entire manual.
The subsequent 72 manuals each correspond to an essence of a law of wind.
It is worth mentioning that this "Raging Storm" manual also analyzes the essence of laws through sword techniques.
Chen Yuan was not surprised. Knives and swords are weapons commonly used by martial artists, and generally speaking, knives emphasize strength while swords emphasize agility.
Both swords and wind emphasize lightness and agility, making the sword the best weapon to perfectly unleash the power of the wind's laws.
It can be said that most martial artists who cultivate the Law of Wind use swords as their weapon.
Then, Chen Yuan opened the second volume of the manual, and a set of complex sword technique diagrams came into view. In those seemingly chaotic sword moves, there was a certain rhythm flowing faintly.
Chen Yuan felt that the rhythm was very familiar, as if he had experienced it before, so he closed his eyes and pondered.
"I know, it's the scorching intent!" Chen Yuan suddenly opened his eyes. "And that's not all, there's also a faint hint of extreme cold in this sword technique."
"Scorching heat and extreme cold are both related to temperature."
Chen Yuan pondered, then unconsciously flipped back to the first page of the manual and began to read.
"It is related to temperature, or rather, the true meaning of this essence is: wind that carries energy."
Chen Yuan put down the book, vaguely understanding something.
"Different branches of artistic conception combine to form different profound laws, and the essence of the 72 laws, when broken down, becomes thousands of branches of artistic conception."
Chen Yuan let out a soft breath:
"Therefore, the branch of the conception I once comprehended serves this purpose—it helps me quickly grasp a certain essence of the Law of Wind."
At the very least, through the two branches of intent—scorching heat and extreme cold—Chen Yuan was confident that he could quickly grasp the essence represented by the first set of sword techniques without relying on the system's assistance.
Moreover, this period will not exceed three years.
"But three years is still too slow."
Chen Yuan shook his head; three years later, he would have already reached the Hengxing level.
But there's no way around it; the way to learn to grasp the essence of a principle is inherently difficult at first and then easier later.
The initial learning of the essence of various laws may be incredibly painful and agonizing, and the speed is far slower than directly comprehending the laws, but once you get the hang of it...
Not only will they be better at applying the laws, but they will also find it much easier to comprehend subsequent laws in the future.
Therefore, the path of comprehending the essence of the laws is a perfect fit for Chen Yuan—because he can simplify the most difficult introductory stage by optimizing the system.
Over the next three hours, Chen Yuan roughly read through all seventy-two sets of secret manuals from the "Raging Storm" manual. Then he put down the book, opened the control panel, and...
"Establish an optimized task, with the 'Thousand Winds' secret manual as the core, incorporating the research methods of the 'Raging Storm', and abandoning universality, taking my own as the standard."
After stating his requirements, Chen Yuan stared intently at the panel.
[Quest creation failed. Reason: The two arcane techniques are too different to be combined.]
"It's right that it failed. Even if the Thousand Winds Secret Manual is strong, it is only strong at the planetary level. It is rather mediocre at the constant level, let alone at higher levels."
Chen Yuan had a premonition, so he wasn't too disappointed. He quickly replied, "System, optimize the 'Raging Storm' manual. Optimize the direction, lower the research threshold for the laws, improve research efficiency, and abandon universality. Use my method as the standard."
[Task established, optimization target: "Raging Storm", optimization direction: lower the threshold, improve efficiency, abandon universality, and focus on the host.]
[This optimization is estimated to cost 300 kill points. Should we proceed with the optimization?]
"300 million? This secret technique is indeed of a high level. If I hadn't given up on universality, I wouldn't be able to afford to optimize it."
"But now—"
Chen Yuan stared at the panel, took a deep breath, and said, "Confirm optimization."
[Task created, estimated completion time: 60 days.]
"Sixty days is not a short time, but it actually went by faster than I expected."
Given the quality of "Raging Storm" and the amount of kill points consumed during optimization, Chen Yuan felt that even a year or two of optimization would be considered fast.
But to my surprise, it only took 60 days.
Chen Yuan stared at the system, his eyes flashing.
