Although Feng Luotian was a reincarnated individual, he had a new bloodline now, normally he would also have to comprehend his bloodline and Theríon once more. But now, with his new bloodline’s ability: KRONOS, such comprehension was not needed.

The troublesome modification could be completed in a single tap.

Thus, he only needed to focus his attention to obtain energy as fast as possible.

There were many ways to acquire energy.

The simplest one of all would be to train. Be it their bodies, muscles, skills, abilities, techniques, minds, souls, etc. Once the cultivators exerted their Theríon, after their Theríon recovered, the energy within would increase corresponding to how closely they pushed their limit.

Training until one lost consciousness would return the greater increment to their energy than those who chose not to. But would normal people choose to train their hearts out every time? The answer would be a ‘no’.

Unless they were training maniacs, they would not waste all their time to train.

A simpler way to obtain energy would be [Refinement]. In other words, it was to refine items that had energy within, such as monster cores. By refining them, cultivators could directly absorb the item’s energy to increase their own.

Refining items may seem much simpler than training, but the world would not be that easy. Such a convenient item always came together with exorbitant prices. You had to be very rich if you wished to use such a way to cultivate.

However, those who had not trained would have a hard time comprehending their bloodline, resulting in having a bottleneck in cultivation. Therefore, it would be best to do both if you wanted to increase your cultivation as fast as possible.

There were still many other ways to increase one’s energy.

Some ways may give so much energy that one could breakthrough several times in a roll if they had correctly grasped the comprehension and modification. However, with the world’s equivalent exchange, what came easy always posed a risk. Using such a method, one slight mistake would spell a lifetime regret.

And of course, even Feng Luotian would not escape this principle.

Although the cultivation’s bottleneck was now non-existent to him and what he needed was only energy, the required amount per cultivation level was not at all matched with the world’s standard.

Feng Luotian was given a large number of monster cores by many people who adored and respected his father, including Peacock Lord. Regardless of the cultivation’s bottleneck, those monster cores alone could increase one’s cultivation until one reached the Talon Realm.

Yet, Feng Luotian could only raise his cultivation to Four Fangs with all those energies.

And as everyone could guess, the energies required for the higher level in cultivation would obviously be larger than the lower. Right now, Feng Luotian needed roughly a hundred times more energy than other people.

Feng Luotian quickly realized this as well, and could only sigh in his heart.

"It seems I need to find a way to acquire a lot of money or else this incredible ability would be useless."

He rechecked the information again.

STATUS

Name: Feng Luotian

Level: Four Fang (13%)

Bloodline: Purple-eyes Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline

Skill 1: Pinnacle Flash Lightning Level 1 (0/500)

Wrap the user’s body in lightning. Speed +200%. Lightning Resistance +20%.

Ability 1: Last Dance Curse Level 4

Increase the user’s power level by 1 for 8 minutes. However, the user has to collect 10 souls within 8 minutes, otherwise, the user’s level will be decreased by 2.

Ability 2: Momentum Eyes Level 4

The user can see the momentum and projectile of every object within 35 meters.

Feng Luotian: “Even becoming a Four Fangs Fighter, the inherited abilities’ powers only increased by this much? I would have to become at least at a late-stage Fighter for these abilities to be effective in battle. Skill 1: Pinnacle Flash Lightning? A Speed Type Skill, huh? Let’s try it outside.”

Feng Luotian walked out of his house and up the base of Winterrock Peak. He paused when he saw two huge boulders separating about a hundred meters. He then stood in front of one boulder, ready to charge towards another.

Feng Luotian normally activated his Theríon without using the skill and rushed out. It took about six seconds to reach his goal. He nodded at the result that he clearly became much faster than when he was crippled: “Next, let’s try the skill. The way to activate the skill should be the same as any other skills, right?”

[Skills] were the art ones used in battle similar to [Abilities]. Cultivators acquired their abilities when they achieved their Bloodline Awakening, while they had to learn skills to use them.

Abilities would get stronger as their cultivation levels increased.

Skills, however, would get stronger as one trained those skills.

Mei Yue’er’s [Aurora Treading Step] was a skill, while Sun Wuji’s [Stone Transformation] was an ability. However, there were exceptions to everything. What Feng Luotian got was an [Innate Skill]. It was a skill that, similar to an ability, accompanying cultivators since their awakening, yet could be trained as a skill to improve its efficiency and power.

Now, he focused his mind to activate [Pinnacle Flash Lightning]. Lightning surged and enveloped his entire body as his speed tripled. After he dashed out, within two seconds, he returned to his original position, then he deactivated [Pinnacle Flash Lightning].

Feng Luotian let out a little gasp: “This [Pinnacle Flash Lightning] required Theríon much more than I thought. And the activation costs much more than maintaining the skill. Although I can turn the table with that kind of speed, it uses too much Theríon. I have to think more carefully about when to use it." He felt that he could only activate the skill for roughly 20 seconds. The skill may be useful in battle, but it could hardly be used to travel.

Skill 1: Pinnacle Flash Lightning Level 1 (1/500)

Wrap the user’s body in lightning. Speed +200%. Lightning Resistance +20%.

Feng Luotian was surprised: “1/500? The Skill Level will be upgraded after using it 500 times. So high!! That’s pretty much a Legendary level skill”

As one trained the skill, the skill they used would become stronger. However, there were also different ranks of skills as they were classified by their powers and requirements into five ranks: Normal, Special, Rare, Unique, and Legendary.

The lower rank the skills was, the weaker power they could release but the less one needed to train to raise their skill’s power. The higher rank would of course release a stronger force but one needed to train more to improve it.

At the first level of Normal skills, one would only need to activate the skill about 20-40 times to achieve the skill’s second level, while Special skills needed 40-100 times, and so on.

Although Feng Luotian did not know how strong [Pinnacle Flash Lightning] would become in the future, needing 500 times to achieve the second level could be classified as a Legendary skill.

Even though he needed to train much harder to improve this skill, Feng Luotian became delighted after knowing this fact as he gained a Legendary skill along with his new bloodline.

Feng Luotian: “Then, what about the skills that I already know from the past life? They’re in my memory but don’t show on KRONOS. Well, let’s try the simplest Skill.”

Feng Luotian loudly howled the skill’s name and thrust his fist at the boulder in front of him: “[One-Fold Fist Force]!!”

However, the only sound after the attack was his skill name’s echo following by the complete silence.

Feng Luotian: “……? What!? I can’t even activate the freaking easiest skill in the universe!? The how-to of the skill is just to activate Theríon and thrust out a fist!! It seems I can’t use any skills I learned in the past. So much for being a reincarnator. But wouldn’t it mean that I will be able to perform one skill and two trash abilities for the rest of my life? Although I can cultivate without a bottleneck in cultivation, with only ONE skill, this is not cool at all.”

With all the earth-shaking traits he got, he was complaining about coolness.

Feng Luotian comforted himself: “Aah … alright!! Never mind that for now!! Maybe there will be other cool things after advancing to another Realm. It says Skill 1, so there will definitely be Skill 2, or maybe I can learn new skills by actually learning in this life and not using the ones I have in my memory. Still, there are a lot of things to try about KRONOS.”

Right when Feng Luotian was about to explore new things of his newly obtained bloodlines’ ability, he heard a commotion came from the main road which was leading from the city to his house: “Oh no!! The lightning I shot up after fusing bloodlines must have raised a lot of attention in the city.”

Not wanting anyone to know what he was doing, Feng Luotian quickly returned to his home and entered his obliterated training room, before lying down on the floor while the rain was still pouring down on him.

With his charred clothes, it was undeniable evidence that he was present when the lightning struck. And who would still be fine after being struck by a lightning? Feng Luotian had no choice but to pretend to be unconscious after being hit by lightning and let the others think that he could survive somehow.

Following that, he used his Theríon to cut off his consciousness and became asleep, before someone rushed into the room: “Tian’er!! Tian’er!! Not good … bring him to the Alchemy Center and have someone look at him.”

Another person asked in anxiety: “Father, is he alright?”

The first person replied: “I don’t know. But we must have him treated right away.”
