In order to confirm, Chen Fan’s gaze moved up, falling on the True Qi bar.
True Qi: 5195/3056 (+70%)
Sure enough, the True Qi bonus in parentheses had increased from the previous 50% to 70%.
The True Qi suddenly gained sixty to seventy strands, equivalent to unclogging several acupuncture points.
"An additional 20% True Qi boost."
Chen Fan was ecstatic.
Because this was just the beginning.
If it increased to the 9th Floor, that would be the Qi Storage Traits at Level 8, capable of boosting the True Qi value by an additional 1.6 times.
Based on his current 3000 points of Primordial True Qi,
by then, the total amount of True Qi in his body could reach around 9500 points, just short of the ten thousand point mark, just shy of unleashing the tenfold power of the Sun-Shooting Arrow.
If it reached the 10th Floor, it would definitely exceed ten thousand True Qi points.
Of course, the Sun-Shooting Arrow can only be used once, after which the True Qi in the body would be virtually exhausted, potentially draining even the Protective True Qi.
"I’m afraid the Qi Storage Traits might not be the one that boosts True Qi the most."
Chen Fan thought to himself.
Perhaps, there’s an attribute that increases a martial artist’s internal True Qi by 30% for each level.
This is probably one of the differences between top-level Heart Methods and ordinary Heart Methods.
"Let’s continue, hoping to unlock stronger traits next."
Chen Fan clenched his fist.
The experience points consumed last time was 160 points,
this time, he directly added 320 points.
The True Qi in his body strengthened by two points again, and the Protective True Qi on his skin also became thicker.
The True Qi at the Cultivation Gate increased a lot, approximately matching the effect of the 2nd Floor in other areas.
Size, however, did not change, remaining the size of a palm.
"It seems the defensive effect is similar to the previous layer’s effect, which is still acceptable."
Chen Fan murmured, eyeing the Skill Bar.
[Golden Bell Shield: 3rd Floor (0%), Traits: Protective True Qi Level 3, Qi Storage Level 2]
He hadn’t unlocked any new traits.
He was already mentally prepared.
Qi Storage Level 2, the extra True Qi bonus had reached 40%.
His gaze fell on Protective True Qi, he thought for a moment and opened it to take a look.
[Protective True Qi: Passive Skill, increases physical defense by 50% for each level. Current level: 3, providing an additional 1.5 times defense. Additionally, it only activates when the practitioner’s internal True Qi exceeds 500 points]
"Indeed."
Chen Fan squinted.
While the defensive effect of Protective True Qi increased, so did the activation requirements.
Without other Martial Arts Heart Method bonuses,
the practitioner’s internal Primordial True Qi must reach roughly 360 points.
Compared to the Level 1 requirement, it’s an increase of over threefold.
"I’m afraid the requirements will get even higher next."
Chen Fan thought, but fortunately, with his abundant True Qi, it was unlikely he would face the awkward situation of reaching a realm but being unable to activate it.
Of course, if he used a killing technique, it might be a different story.
"I still need to practice more Heart Methods."
Chen Fan sighed, adding another 640 experience points.
This time, no new traits appeared either.
After a glance, Chen Fan continued to add points.
This time, the cost of experience points reached 1280 points.
At the same time, he felt a slight change in the form of the Protective True Qi flowing over his skin.
Originally smooth like a protective shield,
now, it had some spikes.
"Could it be?"
A thought flashed in Chen Fan’s mind as he looked at the Skill Bar.
[Golden Bell Shield: 5th Floor (0%), Traits: Protective True Qi Level 5, Qi Storage Level 4, Rebound Level 1]
"Rebound!"
Chen Fan exclaimed.
It was just as he thought.
The spikes that appeared in the True Qi form were exactly like a porcupine’s, capable of inflicting harm on opponents.
[Rebound: Passive Skill, when receiving close combat attacks, returns 10% of the received damage to the opponent. Each level increases Rebound damage by 10%. Actively activate: consumes 1% of the body’s True Qi per second, reflecting 10% of the total Qi as damage to the opponent during close combat attacks. Each level increases True Qi consumption by one fold and Rebound damage by 10%.]
"Both active and passive?"
Chen Fan was taken aback.
This was beyond his expectations.
He studied it carefully again, starting with the passive effect.
It’s easy to understand, during close combat, it could return 10% of the damage to the opponent?
For each level gained, the damage returned increases by 10%.
In other words, if Rebound was at Level 2, the damage received from opponent attacks could reflect 20% back to them.
At Level 9, it would have a 40% reflection effect.
At the Level 12 Perfection, the effect is 70%!
The key point is that this trait doesn’t consume True Qi, aside from the activation requirements of Protective True Qi.
And the effect when actively activated is even more astonishing! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Similarly reflecting attacks, but returning it as 10% of one’s total True Qi as damage.
Yes, not 10% of the opponent’s attack, but 10% of one’s total internal True Qi,
