Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 7: Unleashing Potential

With just one attempt, he gained 1 point of proficiency. It seems that this spell is quite easy to practice.

Chu Ming grinned and continued practicing.

"Swoosh!"

[Golden Light Slash: Proficiency +1]

"Swoosh!"

[Golden Light Slash: Proficiency +1]

"Swoosh!"

[Golden Light Slash: Proficiency +1]

...

Chu Ming steadily and methodically followed the procedure, executing Golden Light Slash step by step, each time condensing only one flying knife.

In this way, he could perform at the highest level, consistently gaining a bit of proficiency each time.

If he were to rush or attempt to control two flying knives, he would not be able to reach the highest level and would not significantly increase his proficiency.

After his initial failed attempts, he began to focus on stability.

Gaining one point of proficiency with each practice was already quite fast.

After each practice, he would reflect on his experience, clearly understanding where the newly gained proficiency had improved and how this Golden Light Slash differed from the previous one.

In doing so, he could always perform at the highest level of Golden Light Slash, ensuring that he gained proficiency each time.

After just a dozen or so attempts, his Golden Light Slash reached a breakthrough.

[Golden Light Slash: Proficiency +1]

[Golden Light Slash breaks through the proficient realm and enters the mastery realm]

[Golden Light Slash (Mastery: 1/1000)]

In an instant, Chu Ming's understanding of Golden Light Slash greatly improved, and he immediately understood how to use it more quickly and effectively.

He performed Golden Light Slash again, this time with a more casual hand gesture and incantation.

For beginners, using hand gestures and incantations can help stabilize the spell.

But for someone who had reached the mastery realm like him, being able to proficiently control and condense the flying knives no longer relied heavily on hand gestures and incantations.

That's why he could perform it so casually.

Presumably, when he reached the Small Completion realm, he would no longer need hand gestures and incantations at all.

At this moment, a golden light condensed on Chu Ming's back, moving faster than before, and in the blink of an eye, a three-inch-long flying knife formed.

Then, with a thought, the flying knife shot out, moving at a speed more than five times faster than before, directly piercing through a tree as thick as a person.

Chu Ming's face showed a look of surprise. He didn't expect that he could also unleash such a powerful move.

Whether it was power, speed, or accuracy, it far surpassed his previous proficient realm.

With this move, he could probably compete with some Qi Refining stage three cultivators.

Dealing with Qi Refining stage two cultivators would be no problem at all.

He continued practicing using the same method as before, still using only one flying knife each time, but his proficiency steadily increased.

This time, he didn't shoot at the main trunk of the tree anymore, as it would probably break if he did.

At the same time, with his current level, shooting at the tree trunk had no technical difficulty and couldn't fully display the highest level of Golden Light Slash.

He set his target on the leaves at the top of the tree, which was smaller and more challenging for him.

In this way, he could better display the highest level of Golden Light Slash and steadily improve his proficiency.

However, he had to hit the target he had in mind.

If he missed, he wouldn't see a significant increase in proficiency.

"Swoosh!"

[Golden Light Slash: Proficiency +1]

"Swoosh!"

[Golden Light Slash: Proficiency +1]

"Swoosh!"

[Golden Light Slash: Proficiency +1]

...

As he continued practicing, his attention was completely focused on practicing Golden Light Slash. His mind was filled with the steps of casting the spell, and his eyes were fixed on the targets on the tree.

Gradually, his accuracy improved, and the difficulty of his mental targets increased.

Gradually, it transformed from a whole leaf into the front half of a leaf.

However, just at this moment, a sharp cry from the sky above startled him.

"Squeak!"

He quickly looked up at the sky and saw a bat about half his height diving towards him.

With sharp teeth and claws, and crimson eyes, this was the bat demon that Ji Rong had mentioned.

Without hesitation, he immediately condensed a flying knife and shot it towards the bat demon.

However, the bat demon was extremely agile and easily dodged this fatal strike with a sidestep.

The speed and reaction of this bat demon were obviously much stronger than an ordinary Qi Refining second level cultivator.

The bat demon continued to fly towards him, causing Chu Ming's heart to tighten.

But just at this critical moment, he suddenly burst out with potential.

Subconsciously, he condensed two golden flying knives in front of him and shot them out, clearly faster than before.

And the two flying knives formed a clever angle, one in front and one behind, one left and one right.

The bat demon used the same trick to dodge the first flying knife, but couldn't completely avoid the second one, which pierced through its right wing, causing its body to suddenly lose balance.

[Golden Light Slash: Proficiency +100]

Chu Ming was secretly surprised that he had suddenly increased his proficiency by so much.

Was it because he had performed exceptionally well?

He didn't have time to think about it now. Taking advantage of the bat demon's unstable body, he quickly shot out another knife, directly severing the bat demon's neck.

This time, there was no increase in proficiency, probably because he hadn't had time to comprehend a new level of proficiency.

The bat demon's head fell to the ground in front of Chu Ming, and he walked over and directly grabbed its body.

This bat was quite large, half a person tall, with a wingspan of at least two meters.

Its body wasn't big, but it weighed at least fifty catties.

However, when Chu Ming saw the dark purple blood flowing from its severed neck and smelled the foul odor emanating from it, he instinctively lost his appetite.

Most Demonic Beast meat is delicious, but there are also many Demonic Beasts whose meat is smelly and poisonous.

If not cooked properly, ordinary people can't eat it and can only use it to feed Demonic Beasts that are not afraid of poison.

The value of this kind of demon meat is not very high, probably only worth one spirit stone.

However, the bones, fur, claws, and other parts of this Demonic Beast are spiritual materials that can be used for medicine and refining tools, so they are still worth a few spirit stones.

Especially the Beast Core in its abdomen, a Qi Refining second level Beast Core, can sell for at least three spirit stones.

He carefully grabbed the bat's ears and picked up its head.

Seeing its terrifying appearance with bared teeth, he was always worried that the bat's head would bite even after being severed, like a snake's head.

But seeing that it didn't move, Chu Ming stopped worrying.

He brought the head and body into the house and put them in a clean sack.

When he went to the market tomorrow morning, he would sell this thing and make some income.

After packing it up, he walked back to the courtyard and couldn't help but savor the Golden Light Slash that he had unconsciously used just now.

Originally, with his level of skill just now, he couldn't control two flying knives at the same time and shoot them so accurately.

But in the urgent situation just now, he came up with a clever idea, as if he had suddenly realized something, and directly used a Golden Light Slash that surpassed his own level.

He had encountered this kind of situation when playing games in his previous life, where he unconsciously performed beyond his own level of skill, and even he found it somewhat unbelievable.

And the proficiency system recognized this level of Golden Light Slash as the level he currently mastered, so it directly made up for the missing proficiency.

In this case, in a real battle against a strong enemy, his Golden Light Slash cultivation speed might be a bit faster.

Especially in a life-or-death situation, he might be able to stimulate his potential and perform beyond his level, thereby increasing a large amount of proficiency in an instant.

However, after careful consideration, he shook his head and thought it was not worth it.

He didn't need to take unnecessary risks. As long as he practiced slowly, his skill proficiency would steadily improve, and he would also have sufficient safety.

If he deliberately took risks to pursue cultivation speed, he might be lucky a few times, but how can one walk by the river without getting their shoes wet?

Clearly, steady development can lead to immortality, so why take risks?

For him, stability and safety were the most important.

Thinking back to the situation just now, he still had some lingering fear.

The speed of that bat demon was somewhat unexpected for him. He thought that with the same Qi Refining second level cultivation and his mastery of the Golden Light Slash, he could easily defeat the bat demon.

But he didn't expect to make a mistake right from the start and had to rely on stimulating his potential to barely win.

In that case, not to mention challenging opponents of a higher level, he should try to avoid battles with opponents of the same level.
