177 Chapter 177 (1/2)
Matt felt uncomfortable, those kids had those puppy dog eyes and were worshiping him like some kind of diety. He on the other hand didn't feel like he deserved this. If his communication skills were better then maybe this whole fiasco wouldn't have occurred and he would have years to cultivate himself and the whole clan into a great strong sect.
”That being the case, you need to alert your Master if you are facing odds like that!”
”I will give you two something with which you can contact me without the use of a communication jade...”
”Still, even though what you did was noble it was incredibly stupid, you endangered your whole clan and people close to you!”
Even though Matt agreed with the moral choice that he made. It was only that, the boy had no plan besides beating up that enemy in front of him. He didn't think about the master behind him, or that he was putting everyone there in danger by proxy.
”Y-yes Master, I did a great disservice to the clan...”
The young man that was all smiles after hearing the prise just a second ago went back to frowning.
”If it would be any other situation you would be punished severely, but we don't have time for such things now.”
”Go see if you can help the other elders with the evacuation of the regular folk, you too Xue.”
The clan for the past two years had been expanding, they created a large system of tunnels under the city for situations like this. They would have various traps along with being more or less a maze. This was to evacuate people and if someone decided to chase afterward they would find it hard to get through.
This was the time to use it, the low-level cultivators and non-combatants were useless and more or less dead weight in this situation. They needed to be evacuated so that the warriors in the city had less to worry about when the Dark Palm Sect finally arrived.
”Yes, Master!”
The two didn't stay for much longer, they agreed with everything their glorious master said. Matt started thinking that if he told them to jump off a cliff they would probably do it without even thinking.
”This devotion might be a double-edged sword...”
He shook his head, this wasn't the time to think about the consequences of being too devoted to one person. He needed to make those blasted skills! He activated his crafting abode and appeared withing the large area, various smelting devices all over the place along with some weapons that weren't quite finished.
”I need to get this over with quickly and then use the nascent soul weapon I got from Wu Ming to advance my cultivation!”
// The Sylph Empress Cyclone Manual [Heaven High Grade] //
// Flame Emperor Pure Yang Manual [Heaven High Grade] //
”Okay, these are the ones... who comes up with these names...”
He arrived at the technique combining contraption that looked like a large desk with many small drawers in it. He placed the technique that Feng Liena used in first as the base, then his own Divine Golden Lightning Nascent Soul one was placed as the supplementary. This would produce a better version of her manual, but it depended on how compatible the two were with each other.
”Hope this works... what kind of name will this produce though...”
// The Sylph Empress Cyclone Manual and Divine Golden Lightning Nascent Soul Manual are 69,420% compatible... //
He looked at the compatibility percentage, it wasn't super high but it wasn't low either.
”Well, it's above 60%... almost 70% that's still good... guess I'll need to spend some points to improve it...”
Matt stared at the crafting screen, if he left it as it is the technique would end up an Immortal early graded one. But he didn't want it to just remain at the bare minimum. He started adjusting the sliders and clicking some options, the divine part of his own cultivation method wasn't very compatible with this, this was the first thing he dropped and focused on combining the lightning and wind components.
”I am using two types of Dao's with my own cultivation, so it shouldn't be a problem if she has that too... lightning and wind should be compatible...”
The options were clicked, he favored increasing the attack and speed of this technique dropping most of the defensive options in their favor.
”You don't need defense if you can dodge everything... but can't overdo it...”
The base manual was already focused on speed and long-ranged attack, he was just min-maxing a bit to give it even more power in that regard. In the end, after all the options were chosen and the technique was upgraded he remained with a manual in the immortal middle grade, but the advance grade for it was quite good at an A.
”Even with just this... I need to spend over 25 million points on this... will I have enough points to further their cultivation to the maximum so they can breakthrough?'
He started sweating, this was close to a quarter of his whole spirit point pool. He could exchange the points at a 1 to 1 ratio for crafting points so at least he didn't lose out in that regard.
”Here goes nothing...”
He activated the machine and saw it glowing. It took a minute for the rumbling to stop and the large drawer in the middle popped open with a green looking manual.
// Ascended Storm Phoenix of the Thunder Winds - Cultivation Manual.
[ Immortal Middle Grade ]
This powerful immortal cultivation technique combines the Dao of lightning and wind to create powerful storms that consume anything in their path. The Soul-Beast fashioned from it will be a Storm Phoenix. //
”Okay... that sounds nice...quite the long name there...let's move on to Qiangs...”
