Chapter 12 An Unexpected Joy, The Basics of Spiritual Mastery
"As expected, the secret techniques of Hong and Lei Shen can also be purchased from the military."
Qin Ming's eyes lit up as he looked at the long list of secret techniques.
After quickly flipping through the hundreds of secret techniques, Qin Ming was soon drawn to two of them.
"Breaking Army Halberd", Category: Halberd Technique. Rating: SS-tier. Price: 10 billion Huaxia Coins (full price), 5 billion Huaxia Coins (half price, Military Merit: 3 stars).
"Overlord Blade", Category: Mo Dao (陌刀). Rating: SS-tier. Price: 10 billion Huaxia Coins (full price), 5 billion Huaxia Coins (half price, Military Merit: 3 stars).
These two secret techniques, while not as advanced as "World Destruction" or "Ninefold Thunder Blade," are only one level apart.
"Should I choose the halberd or the long-handled sword?"
Qin Ming hesitated. He liked both types of weapons, but he could only choose one.
With some hesitation, Qin Ming opened the military website's martial arts forum.
In the forum, many powerful martial artists offered their advice.
Many warriors in the army used long and heavy weapons. Soon, Qin Ming found some insights into using the Mo Dao and Fangtian Huaji.
Qin Ming even found a comparison of the use of various long weapons, including the Mo Dao, Fangtian Huaji, long-handled war hammer, and battle axe.
Qin Ming focused on comparing the Mo Dao and the Fangtian Huaji.
When facing monsters with large, thick armor, the Mo Dao's slashing ability is more effective. It is all about simplicity and brutality, and has an advantage in terms of output and armor penetration.
However, it is relatively bulky and not very effective against agile monsters.
The halberd has many functions. In addition to being a heavy weapon, it can also be used for thrusting, slashing, and hooking. It is also suitable for dealing with agile monsters, but it requires a high level of skill to use.
"It seems that the halberd is more suitable."
After carefully reviewing the advice from many martial artists, Qin Ming nodded secretly.
After comprehensive comparison, it is not difficult to find that the Mo Dao is more suitable for large-scale defensive battles and fighting against beast tides.
Conversely, the Fangtian Halberd is not suitable for team battles and is only suitable for elite warriors.
The description of "The Broken Army Halberd" also proves this point. Halberd techniques are among the most complex of all weapons, combining the functions of spear, knife, hook, and axe.
Although it is an SS-level secret technique, it is even more difficult to learn than the Nine-fold Thunder Blade!
Because in addition to the requirements for physical strength, muscle sensitivity, and so on, the halberd also requires extremely high skill in its use.
"Tsk, it seems that Luo Feng's senior brother in the original timeline, Yan Di, used a halberd? He had a top-grade peak treasure, the Yan Divine Halberd."
A thought suddenly popped into Qin Ming's mind, and he continued to open "Broken Army Halberd," where a detailed price list appeared.
The complete set of "Broken Army Halberd" is worth 10 billion Chinese yuan, which Qin Ming naturally cannot afford, but most of the secret techniques in it can be sold separately.
"Broken Army Halberd" (All Levels 5) - Price: 10 billion Chinese Yuan (Full Price), 5 billion Chinese Yuan (Half Price, Requirement: 3-Star Military Merit)
The first four levels of "Broken Army Halberd" cost 6 million Huaxia Coins (full price) or 3 million Huaxia Coins (half price, requirement: two-star military merit).
……
The first level of "Broken Army Halberd" costs 5000 million Huaxia Coins (full price) or 2500 million Huaxia Coins (half price, requirement: one-star military merit).
As expected, below the "Broken Army Halberd," Qin Ming also saw a line of eye-catching red text: "The 'Broken Army Halberd' is an SS-level halberd technique, extremely difficult to cultivate and very difficult to master."
Qin Ming glanced at it once and then looked away.
Having been given a second chance at life, if I have to choose, I should choose what I like the most!
Disaster?
With the Myriad Soul Banner as his cheat code, his strength will inevitably explode in a short period of time.
A strong soul brings about improvement in all aspects.
Qin Ming could clearly sense that his body control, perception, and other abilities were constantly improving.
He was confident that he could learn any secret technique, no matter what it was.
"Don't worry about weapons, the military has provided a full set of A6-level equipment, which is enough for the early stages. The only things I want to buy are martial arts secret techniques and mental cultivation secret techniques."
10 billion Chinese yuan could buy the top five tiers, but that would mean spending it all.
Qin Ming would naturally not do that.
As for weapons and equipment, all military warriors can receive a set of weapons that are one level higher than their own strength for free.
Qin Ming can also receive a set of A6-level weapons, which is the level of a high-ranking general.
Although there will be restrictions on military merit for the next purchase.
However, Qin Ming wasn't too worried about gaining military merits, because apart from missions, the easiest way to gain military merits was to kill monsters.
In the military merit system, most monsters have military merit marks.
Beast Soldier level monsters generally earn 1 to 10 military merits, while Beast General level monsters start at 100 military merits, and Lord level monsters start at 1 military merits. If you can hunt down a King level monster, you can earn a million military merits.
A military merit of 1 earns one star.
A military merit of 10 is equivalent to a two-star rank.
Achieving 100 million military merits earns a three-star rating.
A military merit of 1000 million is equivalent to a four-star rank.
Although it is difficult to obtain, Qin Ming is confident that he can gain a lot of military merits in a short period of time, thanks to his identity as a mentalist and the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
Instead of rushing to buy, Qin Ming switched the page to the Spiritual Master module.
This module is not visible to everyone; only spiritual masters have the necessary permissions to access it.
"Luo Feng didn't have much ambition at first and chose to hide his talent as a mentalist, so he didn't have the authority."
If Luo Feng were to reveal his talent, given his status as an 18-year-old intermediate-level warrior and his solid-state level mental power, he would likely be sent directly to the elite training camp of the Limit Martial Arts Academy.
There weren't many problems afterwards.
Concealing his strength allowed Luo Feng to live a relatively peaceful life for a period of time, but it also caused him to miss out on some opportunities.
If he could show his strength from the beginning, how could a mere Zhang Zehu dare to provoke him?
Of course, if Luo Feng went directly into the Extreme Martial Arts Elite Training Camp, he might not have had time to date Xu Xin, since the Extreme Martial Arts Elite Training Camp is a closed training camp.
If he really had to choose, Luo Feng would probably still choose the former.
This is the essence of the saying "every sip and every bite."
"Huh, they even have 'The Basics of Spiritual Mastery'? It's worth 1000 billion Chinese Yuan. This is a pleasant surprise!"
Looking at the mere dozen or so secret techniques for mental cultivators, and the "Fundamentals of Mental Cultivation" listed at the very top, Qin Ming revealed a hint of surprise.
Since there are few spiritual masters, the number of secret techniques they can create is also limited.
However, with "The Foundations of Spiritual Mastery," that's enough.
In the original timeline, Luo Feng obtained the Spirit of Plants and Trees from Hong after being chased by Vulture Li Yao on the Australian continent.
Unlike "Ninefold Thunder Blade" and "World Destruction", "The Foundation of Spiritual Mind Master" is clearly not a product of Earth, but a cultivation method from the universe.
There are many relics on Earth, so it's not surprising that there are practice methods like "The Foundation of Spiritual Mindfulness".
Given Hong's personality, he would even share "The Destruction of the World," so he certainly wouldn't hide "The Foundations of Spiritual Mind Masters."
Like other secret techniques, "The Foundations of Spiritual Mastery" can also be broken down.
"Basic Techniques for Spiritual Masters" (All Six Levels) - Price: 1000 billion Chinese Yuan (Full Price), 500 billion Chinese Yuan (Half Price, Requirement: Four-Star Military Merit)
……
The first two levels of "Basic Spiritual Mastery" cost 10 billion Chinese Yuan (full price) or 5 million Chinese Yuan (half price, requirement: two-star military merit).
The first level of "Basic Spiritual Mastery" - Price: 2 million Chinese Yuan (full price), 1 million Chinese Yuan (half price, requirement: one-star military merit).
"Please confirm whether you wish to purchase the first four levels of 'Broken Army Halberd' and the first two levels of 'Spiritual Master Basics'. This requires a payment of 8 million Chinese Yuan!"
A prompt appeared on the large screen.
"confirm!"
Qin Ming clicked lightly to complete the verification, and the 8 million disappeared instantly.
