After a month of training, Chen Yuan's strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
In addition to a significant increase in strength, both of his secret techniques have reached a high level of mastery. In particular, the breakthrough in meditation has enabled Chen Yuan to successfully enter the third stage of deep sleep—sleep during movement.
This means that while Chen Yuan was practicing swordsmanship, he was also recovering his body through deep sleep, which not only further enhanced his endurance but also significantly improved his training efficiency.
Before his breakthrough in meditation, Chen Yuan could increase his strength by about 80 kilograms per day through practice. After the breakthrough, this number soared to more than 120 kilograms per day!
That's why he was able to increase his strength by more than 3000 kilograms in just one month.
Of course, the increase in strength is one part, but more importantly, the improvement in the technique of exerting force has increased from twice the force a month ago to 3.2 times the force now.
All of this is thanks to the improvement brought about by mastering the Gale Sword Technique.
As a secret technique rated as "ultimate" by the system, the Gale Sword Technique may not be able to compare with the other two ultimate secret techniques on Earth, "World Destroyer" and "Thunder Blade," in terms of power generation techniques, but in terms of speed, its advantage is unmatched.
First of all, let's not even talk about the artistic conception, which is the core of the Gale Sword Technique and gives him a 50% base speed bonus.
Chen Yuan is currently a mid-level warrior with a base speed of 160 meters per second, but with the blessing of the Wind Intent, his base speed can reach 240 meters per second!
But the improvement of the Gale Sword Technique goes far beyond that. As the mastery of the secret technique reaches the advanced stage, its bonus to movement and sword speed also reaches an astonishing 70%.
In other words, without using any power techniques, Chen Yuan's maximum speed is 408 meters per second.
Using force-generating techniques makes it even more terrifying; 3.2 times the force is enough to bring a 2.4 times speed increase, directly bringing Chen Yuan's theoretical maximum speed to 979 meters per second.
Of course, with Chen Yuan's current strength, he cannot fully apply his power techniques to his movement, making it difficult for him to reach the speed limit, but he can still achieve a terrifying speed of over 900 meters per second.
It should be noted that even a high-level War God-level expert's basic speed is only 600 meters per second, and Chen Yuan has already surpassed that level.
Of course, powerhouses at the God of War level usually also master power generation techniques. According to records on the Limitless Home Forum, the average power generation level of high-level God of War level powerhouses is generally above 3.
In other words, a true high-level war god can run at a speed of over 1300 meters per second.
However, for beginner and intermediate warriors, their average power exertion skills are only about twice as strong.
Taking the base speed of a mid-level War God as 460 meters per second as an example, the running speed limit of a mid-level War God above the standard is only 690 meters per second, which is far lower than Chen Yuan's.
Therefore, it is not without reason that the Gale Sword Technique was rated as the "ultimate" secret manual by the system. It is a secret technique that pushes speed to the extreme, and it is also the reliance that enabled Chen Yuan to kill a low-level lord with only the strength of a mid-level general.
Using this swordsmanship, Chen Yuan killed thousands of beast-soldier level monsters, 337 warrior-level monsters, and 1 lord-level monster in just one month!
Such astonishing carnage also allowed Chen Yuan's kill points to successfully break through the 4 mark.
"Perfect timing. After harvesting the materials from this Fire-Scaled Three-Horned Boar, I'll go back and sell some to buy a new manual."
This is the most important thing right now!
After Chen Yuan mastered both the Gale Sword Technique and the Meditation Method, he realized that optimizing the new secret technique was now urgent.
Otherwise, once he has mastered both secret techniques, his growth rate will plateau, and he will no longer experience the phenomenon of increasing improvement with each day of cultivation.
Chen Yuan knew that with his current cultivation speed, he was confident that he could advance to the Planetary level even without relying on external forces, but the process would take a long time.
The peak strength of an apprentice is 512000 kilograms. Chen Yuan is still 49 kilograms away from that level. At his current training efficiency, which is 120 kilograms per day, he would need to train for more than 11 years.
This is terrifying, but that's the most frightening thing about this world—the advancement in one's realm is exponential.
Back then, Luo Feng was able to quickly advance beyond the apprentice level thanks to dragon blood, the spirits of plants and trees, and his own talent as a spiritual master.
In terms of cultivation efficiency, Chen Yuan is now far superior to Luo Feng of the same period, but this is useless because Luo Feng's improvement at the apprentice level is not entirely due to hard work.
Therefore, Chen Yuan urgently needs dragon blood, which can save him a lot of time. He also needs to optimize new secret manuals and further improve himself.
The Gale Sword Technique is very powerful, and can be called the fastest secret technique, but that's all it is about.
While a 5x increase in power isn't weak, it ultimately appears mediocre compared to the other two ultimate manuals.
Therefore, Chen Yuan urgently needs funds to purchase a large number of secret manuals to supplement the data for optimizing the system.
So, Chen Yuan spent two hours finally dismantling the core materials of the Fire-Scaled Three-Horned Boar—including its fiery red scales and its conspicuous trident-shaped horn.
After packing everything up, Chen Yuan slung the backpack, which was several times larger than his entire body, over his shoulder and headed back the way he came.
Three days later, at the Northern Military Region's garrison.
Zhou Jie, the North Region Manager of HR Alliance, stood quietly at the entrance of the base, waiting.
People come and go at the entrance to the encampment, and martial arts teams returning from the wilderness area pass by from time to time.
Because Zhou Jie was quite famous in the encampment, many martial artists would greet him when they passed by, and some small teams that had made a lot of gains would try to get Zhou Jie to buy their spoils.
"I'm sorry, please contact Manager Li regarding the acquisition. I have other important matters to attend to today. I'm truly sorry."
This was the umpteenth time Zhou Jie had said something like this today. As the manager of the HR Alliance, doing business was a regular occurrence for him. Normally, he would have accepted one business deal after another with a smile on his face, but at this moment he could only smile and refuse.
Because he was waiting for a client, a major client in his mind.
Although this big client was just his guess—he had never seen the young man make a move, but only inferred from the other party's equipment that his strength was considerable.
But after receiving the call from the other party this morning, Zhou Jie had a strong premonition again. This premonition made him give up all his work for the day, just to contact the other party as soon as possible.
Otherwise, Zhou Jie felt he would definitely regret it if the other party found someone else.
Even so, as the waiting time grew longer, Zhou Jie couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Could I be wrong? That person is so young, could he really be that level of power? I rejected so many clients today, I don't know how much effort I'll have to put in to rebuild those relationships..."
Zhou Jie became increasingly uneasy, worried that he had misjudged the situation and that this would bring his career at HR Alliance to an end.
Time passed slowly, and Zhou Jie waited from dawn until noon, turning down wave after wave of business from his old clients.
Finally, when Zhou Jie was extremely uneasy and almost desperate, the familiar figure he had been waiting for finally appeared in his field of vision.
Zhou Jie's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly ran over, a perfectly timed smile on his face that looked friendly and approachable. He said to Chen Yuan, "Mr. Chen, congratulations on your safe return from the wilderness area. The Northern Military Region welcomes you."
