Chapter 94: 94

Meng Yishan and Bai Suxin nodded simultaneously .

Compared to the fighting occupations that would require their son to fight a lot, it was only natural that they hoped that he would choose a supporting occupation instead, because it was slightly safer .

No matter how dangerous a harvester’s life was, it was still better than that of the monster hunters who had to venture deep into the fog .

Meng Chao thought about it and said, “Elder Ning, filling up the application form is a major event in my life . I have to think about it carefully . Can I give you the answer tomorrow?”

“Of course . Rest well today,” said Ning Shewo with a smile .

Dr . Su Yuan performed another series of checks, and through remote consultation, he conversed with the famous doctors in Dragon City regarding Meng Chao’s physiological parameters . Once they were sure that he had completely recovered, the Meng family finally felt at ease .

Since Meng Chao was going to be discharged the next day, he did not need anyone accompanying him for the night and insisted that his family went back home to rest well .

It was eight something at night and he was the only one in the ward .

He put both his arms under his head and let his eyelids fall a little . No one knew what he was thinking about .

Suddenly, his eyes sparkled, and he decided to be ruthless . He traded 9,999 contribution points for a Middle Stage Healing Skill .

From the moment he woke up, he had been thinking about one thing .

Dr . Su Yuan said that he had completely recovered, and his Initial Stage Healing Skill was in a dark gray color now . He could not use it anymore .

This meant that from a normal person’s standpoint, his body had recovered completely . He did not need to go through any sort of treatment anymore .

But his Middle Stage Healing Skill was light gray . It could be activated .

After thinking about it, Meng Chao came up with a guess . What the Middle Stage Healing Skill treated was related to his strength . It was the organs that produced energy and could not be seen with the naked eye—the spirit meridians .

Even though it was very difficult with the current medical standards to treat the damage to the main meridians, Meng Chao remembered vaguely that this was not the case in the future .

Since he wanted to fight against fate, it was impossible for him to be content with taking up a supporting occupation, like what Ning Shewo had asked him to do .

Regardless of how much time it took and how great of a price he had to pay, he had to clear all 108 main meridians .

Meng Chao’s heart hurt, as if he was suffering from a heart attack, when he had to spend a serious amount of contribution points . Almost ten thousand contribution points burned away .

Golden flames gathered together into warm streams . They flowed from his brain to his right arm .

The three profound and complicated spirit marks rose up from under his skin once more . They intersected with each other to form a dazzling tattoo .

The golden flames flowed through the three spirit meridians before heading to a severely damaged main meridian .

As an unbearably numb pain rose, Meng Chao saw a fourth thick spirit tattoo appear on the dark golden picture .

The spirit tattoo intersected with each other to create a new variable for the profound and complicated spirit picture .

He swung his arm lightly, as if he was swinging a Demon Subduing Pole that weighed more than five thousand kilograms .

The sound of a saber cutting through the wind came from his fingertips .

‘I knew it, the Middle Stage Healing Skill can indeed repair damaged main meridians!’

Meng Chao was delighted .

However, after he calculated his expenditure and the effects, he found his heart aching again .

‘I need to spend 9,999 contribution points to repair one main meridian . And based on my experience with Initial Stage Healing Skill, if I use it repeatedly, I will end up spending more .

‘… I knew it! If I want to use it again, I have to pay 10,023 points!

‘A person has to clear more than sixty main meridians before they can be considered to be someone powerful in Spirit Tattoo Realm . That means I’ll need to use at least one million contribution points on myself .

‘Even if I become the mayor, I won’t be able to make such contributions!

‘Wait, why must I fix my sights on the 108 main meridians? I remember… that I can also fight using the 1,024 branch meridians!’

Memories from his previous life started flashing in his mind .

Right now, the main superhuman fighting style in Dragon City was known as the Overkill Style .

As its name implied, the superhumans had to use spirit energy to create an energy field . Then, through different frequencies and circulation speeds, that energy field was sent out .

It was just like the killing moves in games . Its power was very strong, and the moves executed were beautiful . When a spirit energy magnetic field was fully activated, it displayed radiant electricity, which looked cool and awesome!

Hence, once this style appeared, it soon spread through the entire city .

But there was a clear weakness in the Overkill Style .

Creating a spirit energy magnetic field required time, and in fighting terms, it would be known as “accumulating power before executing a move” .

When rampaging spirit energy surged into the main meridians, it resulted in a certain degree of interference and damage . After an attack was executed, the superhuman needed to rest, and in fighting terms, it was known as “cooldown” .

When an attack was executed, the magnetic field of a person’s life experienced interference from the spirit energy magnetic field, so the weaknesses of the person who executed the skill were magnified . Their muscles stiffened up, and they were not able to move or dodge . In fighting terms, it was known as “stiffening up”

The accumulation of power, cooldown, and stiffening up made the Overkill Style a high-risk fighting style that would damage the enemy as well as the user itself .

For now, the monsters had yet to evolve and mutate on a large scale . Usually, they either had a lot of vitality, but were stupid, or were smart, but lacked vitality .

Once the monster hunters used a series of brilliant killing moves, they killed all the monsters .

Hence, the weaknesses of the Overkill Style did not cause any arguments .

In fact, there were people who believed that even if there were weaknesses, it was fine . With one powerful move, they could kill a monster, and even if they had to experience a cooldown of five minutes, they did not mind it .

This train of thought worked just fine for the time being .

But monsters continued to evolve . Their numbers would increase, and they would become stronger as well as smarter .

With the increase in their numbers, more situations when dozens of monsters would encircle a few superhumans would appear .

At that time, they would not have the time to use the spirit energy magnetic field .

Now, apply the same logic for a superhuman executing a skill . After they managed to execute an incredibly dazzling secret technique and reduced one monster to ashes, the other monsters would have gathered together to launch an attack . Those monsters would then tear that superhuman into shreds while their spirit meridians were on a cooldown .

Besides, monsters were becoming smarter . They would soon see through the humans’ skills and seize the moments when a superhuman “stiffened up” at the instant they executed their attacks to dodge or launch counterattacks .

More monsters would also seize the chance to mutate when they were about to die and gain an increase in power while they were at death’s door .

Even if they died, they would bite the human who had stiffened up or was going through a cooldown and drag them down to hell together .

Since the Overkill Style could only release powerful moves, it would gradually be unable to adapt to the increasingly brutal battles .

Many of the Overkill Style elites were famous Heaven Realm elites . They were powerful people who had skilled millions of monsters, but a lot of them would die by monsters while they were accumulating power, stiffened up, or cooling down .

It was only after the blood of many superhumans flowed in rivers that the powerful people accepted the painful lesson and cast their eyes on a different fighting style—the Ultimate Style!

While the Overkill Style focused on cultivating the 108 main meridians, the Ultimate Style focused on the 1,024 branch meridians .

The branch meridians were like capillaries . They could not withstand the instant output of tyrannical spirit energy, so they could not be used for “killing moves” .

But their advantage lay in the fact that they did not need to accumulate power, stiffen up muscles, and cool down . Once a superhuman fell into an attack rhythm, their normal attacks came like never-ending waves . They could deliver beautiful and peerless chain attacks .

The Ultimate Style elites could attract their targets like magnets, and after delivering from thirty to hundreds of chain attacks, they would kill the tough monsters .

But even if they did not manage to do that, they could seize the initiative in the battle and fight or run whenever they wanted . This was something really important for Dragon City due to its lack of people .

Hence, during the later stage of the Monster War, the Ultimate Style rose to power and surpassed the Overkill Style .

At that time, an extreme saying even appeared . “Only newbies will release killing moves at the drop of a hat . A true elite will use meticulous chain attacks to tear the monsters into shreds . ”

Of course, as spirit energy martial arts were further developed, the powerful fighters discovered how to blend the Ultimate Style together with the Overkill Style, which allowed them to eliminate the weaknesses and only retain the strengths . This was the strongest fighting style .

First, they would use a dense wave of chain attacks to weary out the monsters . In time, the monsters would start to rage and reveal their weaknesses .

After the superhumans seized the weaknesses, they would either send the monsters into the air or cause them to stiffen up .

Then, they would use the time lag between the time they required to accumulate power and the time their enemies stiffened up to release their killing moves at the monsters’ fatal spots .

This was the most effective and scientific fighting style .

Unfortunately, Dragon City had taken too much time to come up with it . It had sacrificed many precious lives and badly damaged its foundation, so it no longer had the strength to turn the tides .

‘I must reveal the Ultimate Style ahead of time and make it enter the powerful fighters’ sights . ’

A powerful desire suddenly overtook Meng Chao . ‘It’s only when I make many powerful fighters and all the citizens realize the advantage of the Ultimate Style will I be able to save them and change the end result of the Monster War!’

After Meng Chao witnessed Principal Sun’s sacrifice, he was no longer content with making contributions by just casually giving guidance and obtaining a few contribution points .

The Reckless Bull Technique, Ripple Force, and the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse were all modifications of one single technique . He could only make contributions in terms of modifying the skills . It could not help him change the overall situation .

Changing Dragon City’s main fighting style from the Overkill Style to the Ultimate Style was the way to evolve their fighting strategy .

‘Based on my memories, due to the weaknesses of the Overkill Style, humans suffered greatly . Many of the experienced powerful elites and the rising stars died because of it .

‘If I manage to save one elite, I will be able to give us a bit of hope to survive in the future . If I can make the Ultimate Style reveal its glory some five years ahead of time, the overall fighting strength of the future Dragon City will increase more than a hundred times!’

He might know it, but it was not easy to carry it out .

The Ultimate Technique required broad and extensive knowledge for it to work . It needed an entire set of cultivation theories to support it, along with all sorts of machines and medicine .

Meng Chao only had a vague idea of how it worked in his mind .

How could he make the Overkill Style elites, who were shining in the limelight right now, change to his ways by just telling them that they should use more chain attacks and release fewer killing moves?

Meng Chao thought about it for a moment and turned on his computer to search for the Ultimate Technique, but found nothing .

The Ultimate Technique was not born yet . It should still be in its conception stage in some lab belonging to a martial arts course of some university .

Which university did it come from?

He scratched his head for a long time, but could not remember it, so he decided to just log into his social media and change his train of thought .

He had been sleeping for more than a week, so he had a lot of mail accumulated .

One of them came from the Supernatural Tower and had an invitation code .

The Supernatural Tower was not just the grandest building in Dragon City, but also an organization for all superhumans .

The superhumans who did not have any legacy could get the most basic guidance there . They could receive all sorts of missions in exchange for materials and martial art techniques .

Superhumans enjoyed meticulous service from the organization .

Of course, once a superhuman broke the rules, the Superhuman Tower had the power to take control of them or even subjugate them .

A superhuman could join the Supernatural Tower or not based on their own free will .

But based on what Meng Chao knew, there was no one who refused to join the Supernatural Tower after they awakened to supernatural abilities . If they did, that would be the same as them declaring to the world that “I became a superhuman and I want to live free from the law!”

Thus, he politely wrote an email stating that he was very willing to join the big family of superhumans . Once he was discharged, he would go and visit the Supernatural Tower .

There was another email, and it came from Luo Hai, the student council president of Construction High .
