"No, it should be impossible."
Chen Fan shook his head repeatedly, driving this ominous thought out of his mind.
Even if he reached the Perfection Realm, without unlocking new traits,
he wouldn’t lose out,
because, having consumed less than 20 Experience Points in total, he had increased his Strength Attribute by 15 points, which was quite a gain.
Gazing at the [Shadowless Swift Blade], after consuming 5 more Experience Points, a strange feeling arose within him.
[Shadowless Swift Blade: Perfection (cannot be improved), Traits: Powerful Level 5, Shadowless Level 4, Fast Blade Unsheathing Level 1]
Chen Fan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looking at it again,
[Fast Blade Unsheathing: Active Skill, after activation, consumes a small amount of Power, increases the speed of the next blade strike by 100%. Each level increases Power consumption and blade speed by an additional multiple, effective only when using the Shadowless Swift Blade]
[Detection: Basic Saber Technique has reached the corresponding level. Can increase the limit of Shadowless Swift Blade without consuming Experience Points. Do you wish to upgrade?]
As Chen Fan wanted to see what would happen, information appeared in his mind.
He was stunned at first, but after reading this, his face immediately showed excitement,
"It seems my previous guess was correct. Once the Basic Martial Arts reached a certain level, it indeed could increase the skill level limit of Advanced Martial Arts. Perfection is not the end."
Chen Fan’s eyes were full of anticipation.
What would be beyond the Perfection Realm?
His gaze fell on that last line of information,
Since it doesn’t need Experience Points to increase the Martial Arts limit, why hesitate?
Chen Fan instantly chose yes.
The next moment, he felt a rush of new memories flooding his mind.
Compared to the previous Shadowless Swift Blade, this move was even more intricate.
After digesting this memory, he looked at the skill bar,
[Shadowless Swift Blade: Pinnacle of Attainments (cannot be improved), Traits: Powerful Level 6, Shadowless Level 5, Fast Blade Unsheathing Level 2]
"Pinnacle of Attainments?"
Chen Fan suddenly realized, so this was the skill level after the Perfection Realm.
He looked further and surprisingly found the skill level was maxed out instantly.
He looked back, yes, the levels of the three traits had all increased by one.
"Not bad."
He smiled faintly.
The most noticeable change was that the Strength Attribute originally increased by 15 points, now by 18 points.
Shadowless now meant the blade speed was 2.5 times faster.
And upon activation, Fast Blade Unsheathing increased the blade speed by 200%, making it three times faster.
"I wonder if this speed is calculated independently, or if it enjoys the boost from the Shadowless trait?"
Chen Fan mused.
If calculated independently, the effect was so-so since using the Basic Saber Technique already gave him four to five times the blade speed.
If it could stack with the Shadowless trait, that would be terrifying.
"Why not test it out?"
Chen Fan had a sudden idea.
He stood up, picked up the dagger from the side.
Took a deep breath, and with a brush sound, swung the blade.
"Indeed slower than when I use the Basic Saber Technique."
Chen Fan thought to himself.
The next moment, he activated Fast Blade Unsheathing in his mind and swung the blade.
A flash of white light zipped by, and a whooshing sound filled the air.
Chen Fan’s eyes suddenly brightened.
Such speed!
He activated it again, swung the blade,
This time, the speed was still fast, but significantly slower than the second strike, and the air sound was not as intense as before.
Chen Fan smiled.
When activating Fast Blade Unsheathing with the Shadowless Swift Blade, its traits stack.
If activated with the Basic Saber Technique, it doesn’t benefit from either Shadowless or Fast Blade Unsheathing traits.
"Not bad."
He nodded in satisfaction.
The Level 5 Shadowless trait, 2.5 times the blade speed when activating Fast Blade Unsheathing, reaches 7.5 times!!!
Even faster by 60-70% compared to the Basic Saber Technique.
So, for close-combat engagements, there was no need to revert to using the Basic Saber Technique.
"Let’s call this perfect Martial Arts level High-level Martial Arts."
Chen Fan nodded.
This classification is based on development, not cultivation difficulty.
It’s possible that the Meridian Refining Realm Martial Arts’ skill level limit is Perfection, but its cultivation difficulty might not be less than his defined High-level Martial Arts.
Just that in terms of development, these Martial Arts still count as Advanced Martial Arts.
"By the way, there’s another Advanced Blade Technique. I wonder if it can also be upgraded to High-level Martial Arts."
Chen Fan’s gaze landed on [Thunderous Blade Technique].
He tried adding a point of Experience, the skill level increased by 50%.
Chen Fan immediately gave up the idea of increasing its limit.
After consuming another point, a faint warm current arose.
[Thunderous Blade Technique: Initial Glimpse (0%), Traits: Strengthen Body and Health Level 1]
"No wonder the reaction was slightly stronger this time."
