Great Tyrannical Deity - Chapter 17
Absorbing all the world energy within tens of meters of his surroundings, Shi Li condensed all of it within his qi pockets.
His qi pockets, which had the total size of a small lake before, was slightly growing larger every minute.
His qi was getting purer and purer. It was slowly condensing into a denser form. He circulated it through his meridians five times. Then ten times. Twenty. Forty. The numbers were growing higher and higher until it reached 100 circulations.
At that point, Shi Li stopped. He stood up and checked his body. Nothing changed at all. ‘Well that’s weird.’ He thought to himself.
He went to a strength measuring pillar which was a crimson red pillar. This pillar could withstand up to 100000 ren.
He gave a casual punch on the pillar. 600 ren. No increase whatsoever. He sat down again at started to circulate his qi.
He was now circulating the qi yet again. Fifty times. A hundred times. He felt like there was a bottleneck he could break but he didn’t know what.
He stopped yet again, looking at his body. Nothing. He punched at the pillar. Same number. He knows that he reached a bottleneck but how does he breakthrough?
He had no choice but to look for the answer at the book. Flipping over the first layer, he frowned.
‘To breakthrough to a new stage, you must gain the mastery of the layer needed for it. You can break through stage 3 and 4 once you’ve gained small success, 5 and 6 once you’ve gained major success, 7 and 8 once you’ve gained grand success and the last stage once you’ve gained perfect mastery.’
‘So this was why.’ Shi Li thought. Since he was engrossed in enhancing his qi, he forgot that the [Art of True Omnipotence] was originally built upon his body.
With this in mind, he went to the pillar and punched with full force. Bang!
The pillar showed 4800 ren. He had a force multiplier of 8, just 2 more to gain small success.
Small success of the first layer needed him to gain a force multiplier of 10, Major success would be 50, Grand success would be 250, and Perfection would be 800.
He then remembered, he was wearing an armor over his body. It seemed like a pressure of 500 ren wasn’t anything to him anymore, so he walked out of the sect and went to the treasure shop of Grand Tian City.
…
“How can I help you, sir?” An attendant asked the man wearing an ever familiar uniform.
The man was wearing thin golden armor underneath his uniform. He had an emblem of a fist stuck on his chest. This was Shi Li.
“May I ask if you have any armor that can be changed in weight?” Shi Li asked.
The attendant was surprised but calmed down instantly to answer, “Indeed we do. We have the exclusive [Earth Bounding Armor] that can weigh up to 10,000 ren and the great [Worldly Sealing Armor] that can weigh up to 100,000 ren.”
Shi Li nodded and asked, “How much would the [Worldly Sealing Armor] cost?”
The attendant answered respectfully, “Normally, it would be at the price of 400 diamond coins. But since esteemed customer here is a disciple of the Heavenly Fist Sect, we would give you a discount and offer a price of 250 diamond coins.”
Shi Li almost fainted when he heard the first price. 400 diamond coins was over his budget even when he looted those Yan Clan lackeys. But to hear that it was being sold to him for 250, he accepted the offer.
He gave the coins to the attendant and the attendant came back with the armor. ‘I guess being a disciple of a good sect has its perks.’ Shi Li thought.
He removed the [Grand Mountain Armor] that was useless to him and wore the [Worldly Sealing Armor] under his uniform. He then changed the weight to 6000 ren. He instantly fell to the ground with a thud.
An attendant then hurriedly asked Shi Li, “Customer, are you okay?”
With a large amount of effort, Shi Li stood up with sweat covering his face. He then answered panting, “I…can…manage.”
He turned around and went back to the sect.
…
With the trip back to his courtyard, Shi Li somewhat adapted to the weight of the armor already.
He then cracked his knuckles and with a smile, he said, “Let’s get to work.”
