CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 50: DRAGON ELEPHANT PRAJNA SKILL (SECOND UPDATE)

Players emerged one by one from Yingyang Hall and Gathering Sun Hall, each face beaming with joy. Then, they rushed towards the Contribution Hall to select their Inner Energy Techniques.

Flourishing Flowers immediately stopped the players from Cloud Lament Hall. "Everyone, listen to me for a moment!" he called out, gathering all the newcomers. "You should all have at least 500 Contribution Points, which is just enough to buy one Inner Energy Technique. But what if we pool our resources? If each of us contributes a portion of our Contribution Points, we could jointly purchase an Ultimate Technique to teach and transmit to each other. Wouldn’t that be even better? Plus, we could save a good amount of Contribution Points. What do you all think?"

Hearing this, the players hesitated. Ultimate Techniques were indeed desirable. This was evident from Junlin and his team. They had all learned Eight Gates Escape Armor and naturally wouldn’t choose another Ultimate Technique. The role of Contribution Points thus became their primary means of enhancing their Realm, meaning they had a large number of Contribution Points available for upgrades. They could even choose to sell them! The Three Great Merchants had already set up stalls to buy Contribution Points, offering a price of 0.111111111.

"This plan is good! We’ve finally managed to catch up with that first batch of bastards."

"Just as Flourishing Flowers said. I’ll transfer 200 Contribution Points directly to you; you pick an Ultimate Technique for us."

"Then it’s 200 Contribution Points per person, and the rest for enhancing our Realm!"

"I’ve always disliked the First Batch of Players! This time, I must absolutely crush Daytime Alms!"

"..."

Pooling Contribution Points to buy an Ultimate Technique was an idea others had conceived of before. However, at that time, the First Batch of Players didn’t have many Contribution Points, and there were only about thirty of them. So, for the First Batch of Players, this method had to be abandoned.

But now, Flourishing Flowers stepped forward. He managed to rally the Second Batch of Players. With over sixty members from Cloud Lament Hall each contributing 200 points, they amassed 12,000 Contribution Points. Not only could they learn an Ultimate Technique, but they would also save some Contribution Points. After enhancing their Realm, they could even sell some of the surplus—a very promising situation indeed.

Flourishing Flowers also gathered the players’ Contribution Points and entered the Contribution Hall to make a selection. This batch of players each had their unique characteristics, so choosing a single Ultimate Technique that suited everyone was somewhat challenging.

They had 12,000 Contribution Points, and the selected Ultimate Technique could not exceed this amount.

Finally, after consulting with the players, Flourishing Flowers directly purchased the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill. It cost exactly 12,000 Contribution Points.

This martial art wasn’t as easy as Eight Gates Escape Armor. Eight Gates Escape Armor’s only restriction was related to Internal Energy; it was easy to learn but required a certain Internal Energy cap. Otherwise, Junlin and his team’s power would have improved significantly much earlier.

Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill had thirteen levels. Each level attained added the immense strength of a dragon and an elephant. However, the difficulty of progressing further was immense. To master all thirteen levels, players needed a vast number of Contribution Points. The first level required no Contribution Points. The second required one point, the third ten points, the fourth one hundred points, the fifth five hundred points, and the sixth level needed one thousand points...

The most crucial aspect was the characteristics of this martial art!

[Name: Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.]

[Type: Martial Arts.]

[Quality: Ultimate Technique.]

[Characteristics:

1. With each level mastered, players gain a significant boost in strength. They also receive an Internal Energy reward for a number of days equivalent to the Contribution Points invested for that level.

2. With each level mastered, players will automatically advance one Realm.

3. Mastering all thirteen levels will grant the Talent ’Dragon Elephant Embodiment’.]

[Note: Further practice will require a large number of Contribution Points. Please consider carefully.]

What did players need most at this stage? Realm enhancement! Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill perfectly helped them bridge this gap. Not only that, it also granted bonus Internal Energy! With this, the Second Batch of Players could surpass the First Batch of Players in the shortest possible time, even using their leftover Contribution Points to enhance themselves. Such an Ultimate Technique was crucial for players in the early stages!

After Flourishing Flowers and his group exchanged for it, they immediately transmitted the skill to the other players. Over sixty players all learned Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, and many chose to spend Contribution Points for immediate enhancement.

Flourishing Flowers had a considerable number of Contribution Points on hand. With the help of this Ultimate Technique, his Realm also soared completely.

[Player: Flourishing Flowers.]

[Identity: Profound Yellow Sect Disciple.]

[Martial Arts: "Heaven Imprisoning Heart Method," "Little Seizing Hand," "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill"]

[Internal Energy: 611 days’ worth.]

[Equipment: White Gauze Robe, White Feather Boots.]

[Realm: Third-Grade Martial Artist Realm.]

[Talent: Sect Protection.]

Third-Grade Realm! With the special boost from Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, he directly reached the Third-Grade Realm and even gained over 600 extra days of Internal Energy. Effectively, that was like personally refining two years’ worth of Internal Energy. Awesome!

Almost everyone from Cloud Lament chose to enhance. They didn’t have as many Contribution Points as Flourishing Flowers and could only boost themselves to the Fourth-Grade Martial Artist Realm. Enhancing further required 500 Contribution Points, which they currently lacked. After all, they still needed Contribution Points for future Reincarnation, so it was necessary to save some.

"Damn, Fourth-Grade Martial Artist! I jumped directly from Eighth-Grade!"

"Is this Ultimate Technique really that awesome? If I had enough Contribution Points, reaching First-Grade Martial Artist wouldn’t be a problem!"

"Daytime Alms, get over here and die!"

"Seriously? Are Newbie Players this good already? Their power improved so fast?"

"..."

The First Batch of Players were stunned. They were still stuck at the Eighth-Grade Martial Artist Realm, yet these Newbie Players who came after them had directly jumped to Fourth-Grade Martial Artist? How were they supposed to compete now?

"Brothers, we should also pool money to buy an Ultimate Technique!" some players exclaimed anxiously, also deciding they wanted to purchase one.

But their first batch only had thirty people. Even if they pooled enough to buy Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, each would need to contribute 400 Contribution Points. Their numbers were a big issue!

Thinking of this, some from the First Batch of Players began to opt to join Cloud Lament Hall. Flourishing Flowers welcomed all who came, provided they paid 300 Contribution Points to join. This was a firm condition. Two hundred was for practicing the Ultimate Technique, and the remaining one hundred served as a deposit to prevent players from leaving after learning the technique.

This condition made many hesitate. However, after some comparison, they too chose to join Cloud Lament.

Even Little Boss and his Celestial Realm group chose to ally with Cloud Lament. The two Halls cooperated. Celestial Realm wouldn’t merge into Cloud Lament Hall, but its players would provide food with buff effects to Cloud Lament players. In addition, Celestial Realm players would still pay 200 Contribution Points to learn the skill. Flourishing Flowers naturally wouldn’t refuse such cooperation. Little Boss, a player with an innate Talent, was highly valued by Flourishing Flowers.

Now, the only ones lagging behind were Junlin and his team. Almost all other players had experienced significant power boosts, while Junlin and his team had chosen not to form an alliance. They were only five people, following a path of quality over quantity. And now, each of them had at least 500 Contribution Points, sufficient for three enhancements. Moreover, their Postnatal Talent also granted additional Contribution Points. In terms of Contribution Points, they were not lacking at all! Given a little more time, using Contribution Points to jump from Eighth-Grade Martial Artist to First-Grade Martial Artist would not be an issue for them. The Talent "Prosperity and Wealth" was their real Bottom Card!
