Chapter 128: Overlord Body? (1/2)
During this period of time, Elder Li knocked down a few books from the bookshelf before finally taking out an exquisite-looking booklet from a certain corner and handing it to Jiang Li.
< Overlord Body Art >
There were only three words on the booklet.
This spell technique sounded very fierce, but Jiang Li did not seem very happy holding it.
Jiang Li knew about this body cultivation method. It was said to be a rather brilliant technique for taking hits.
Although it was called the Overlord Body Art, many people called it the Immovable Overlord Body Art.
Of course, this was not a praise, but mockery.
This Overlord Body Art was like a semi-finished pill formula. While it was powerful, it was also accompanied by huge flaws that were hard to overcome.
When using this Overlord Body, one could neither attack nor move. One would become a sandbag and stand there to be beaten.
Jiang Li was slightly speechless. Did this Elder Li drink too much and take the wrong thing?
However, when Jiang Li looked at Elder Li again, he had already staggered far away.
Helpless, Jiang Li flipped open the booklet and read the detailed introduction of the spell technique.
So this was the Overlord Body Art?
As Jiang Li watched, the originally disdainful expression on his face slowly became serious.
Perhaps it did suit him after all.
This Overlord Body Art was a technique that combined strength and qi to focus on defense.
Through this spell technique, the user could contract their strength and spiritual qi in a certain ratio and circulate them to the surface of the body to form a defensive layer.
The more spiritual qi and strength contracted, the stronger the defense formed on the surface of the body. It was a special method to exchange attack for defense.
Oh right, to body cultivators, spiritual qi was also vital to them. Of course, body cultivation methods still required spiritual qi to cultivate.
Otherwise, if one only relied on body tempering, how could he be called a body cultivator? That was a martial artist from the mortal world, a mortal martial arts technique…
Jiang Li took a look. The effects of this Overlord Body Art should be quite powerful.
The method to combine spiritual qi and physical strength was extremely brilliant. If he defended with his full strength, the intensity of the attack he suffered had to be at least more than twice that of Jiang Li's own before it could break his defense.
In terms of quality, this was already quite good.
However, after executing this spell technique, the characteristics of being unable to move made the value of this Overlord Body Art decrease greatly.
Defending without retaliating meant defeat. Cultivators could not rely on this to exhaust their opponents to death.
Jiang Li flipped through it again and noticed that this technique was divided into four parts. Strength Control, Qi Control, Combination, and Secret Cultivation.
Elder Li's intention was to let Jiang Li focus on the Strength Control chapter.
This Overlord Body Art emphasized on making cultivators contract the power they released and spread it around their bodies on average to deal with external attacks.
When he could control his physical strength to contract and release at will, his current problem would be resolved.
However, as he read on, Jiang Li's gaze was attracted by another description of the Overlord Body Art.
In the 'Secret Cultivation' chapter of the Overlord Body Art, it described that after the Overlord Body Art reached the eighth level, cultivators could store some of the strength and spiritual qi they usually accumulated on the surface of their bodies.
At that time, this Overlord Body Art would show a sudden boost in power. The user could maintain the highest level of Overlord Body defense without reducing their strength, spiritual qi, and speed!
In other words, before the eighth layer of the Overlord Body Art, it was only a technique, but after the eighth layer, it could be considered a status!
It could be said that there were also many flaws, he had to prepare before each use, the duration was short, and the expenditure was huge. It was not worth paying such a price to defend for just a short moment.
But in Jiang Li's case, was this another godly technique?
As Jiang Li became stronger, his physical defense would also become stronger along with his physique.
However, his Armament Hard Skin and Hardened Skin were gradually unable to keep up with his growth.
There was naturally no problem in catching a Qi Refinement realm flying sword.
However, after Jiang Li tried it, he was already unable to completely defend against the Foundation Establishment flying sword of the sword cultivator clone.
This did not match Jiang Li's expectations for his strength.
This way, this Overlord Body Art might become an even stronger substitute.
After returning to the counter and obtaining the jade slip of the Overlord Body Art, Elder Li took his inner sect disciple token and charged some sect contribution points.
Jiang Li had already entered the inner sect for four to five months. Every month, the contribution points distributed by the sect would be directly transferred to his token. Previously, he had participated in a period of demon extermination missions, so the contribution points he obtained was naturally quite a lot.
Jiang Li would occasionally enter the Scripture Storage Pavilion to learn a few spell techniques, but the contribution points distributed every month were simply too much.
This was another huge difference between inner sect disciples and outer sect disciples.
After the protection period, outer sect disciples had to complete a certain number of missions on time to pay the sect contribution points that were deducted every month.
As for inner sect disciples, they did not need to do anything to obtain the resources that outer sect disciples desperately fought for.
Jiang Li sighed for a moment about his old days before leaving the Scripture Storage Pavilion and arriving at the bustling martial arts venue.
He flew into the airship where the Demon Vanquishing Hall was located with the Dragon Imprisoning Lock.
The chains on Jiang Li's body were not obvious because of his clothes, but the shackles on his wrists were not easy to cover up.
”Junior Brother Jiang Li, what are you doing?”
Therefore, those senior brothers and sisters naturally noticed Jiang Li's unusual behavior with a single glance.
The shackles and chain looked familiar.
When they had just entered the sect, the Dragon Imprisoning Lock had once been tied to their ankles, binding them to fight the demon beast to the death.
Of course, they all succeeded in the end and obtained the Beast Blood Diagram's inheritance.
But now that they saw the indestructible chain, they still felt a little fearful.
”Oh, this. I accidentally broke through earlier. My body is a little out of control. I'm using it to temporarily suppress my strength.”
When Jiang Li said this, everyone noticed that the aura on his body was obviously much stronger than the day before.
After not seeing him for an entire night, Jiang Li did not even say anything and broke through without any warning.
”Oh, you broke through. That's pretty good. Continue to work hard and build your foundation as soon as possible.”
The senior brothers habitually encouraged him. After a moment, they reacted.
”Oh? Wait, when was the last time you broke through?”
”Did you break through in body refinement? Or did you break through in Qi Refinement?”
The senior brothers and sisters suddenly recalled that Jiang Li seemed to be a new disciple who had just entered the sect this year. Moreover, based on the time, they knew that their master had taken in this junior brother, Jiang Li, not long ago.
Previously, he had been at the mid-stage Qi Refinement and Body Refinement realm… but now, no matter how they looked at it, he should be at the late-stage of the Qi Refinement realm.
Their expressions were a little complicated. Wasn't that Qi Tianya who fought with Jiang Li yesterday a top-grade spiritual root disciple who had entered the sect at the same time as Jiang Li?
The other party was clearly only at the mid-stage Qi Refinement realm and was still quite a distance away from breaking through.
What was going on with this junior brother of theirs? His body cultivation was complementing his Qi Refinement? Did the Beast Blood Diagram have such an effect?
In two years, would he reach the Foundation Establishment realm?
