Chapter 439: Chapter 437: Second Update The attribute panel is about to undergo its second update? Lou Yi recalls that the first update happened when the beast tide invaded Wangjiang County, mainly expanding the range of collectible energy and diversifying the types of energy collected. Since then, options like enhanced Yin affinity and cultivation technique manuals were added to the collection category. What changes will this update bring? Lou Yi looks forward to it, waiting quietly. Two days later, the semi-transparent attribute panel in front of him turned entirely grayish-white, with a progress bar displaying percentages floating on it. ’Attribute panel is updating, current progress: 1%’ ’Attribute panel is updating, current progress: 2%’ ... ’Attribute panel is updating, current progress: 99%’ ’Update has been completed.’ Immediately, a dazzling blue light flashed, followed by a new panel emerging before his eyes. The panel transformed into a three-dimensional semi-transparent colored screen, with thickness, evolving from two-dimensional to three-dimensional form. The resolution became noticeably higher; gazing at each word, related hints would appear. Operations like deletion and dragging became more smooth and seamless, without any stutter. [Name: Lou Yi] [Age: 24/280] [Realm: Martial Master Peak (227/?), Martial Artist Peak (202/?), High-tier Anomaly (156/600), Three-star Body Cultivator (127/600), Qi Cultivation Fourth Level (492/600)] [Cultivation Technique: Yellow Extreme Breathing Technique (Second stage, Perfection) ...] [Skills: Lou’s Axe Skill (Perfection), Extreme Fist (Perfection) ...] [Magic: Corpse Control Technique (Perfection), Yin Qi Arrow (Perfection), Array Initial Solution (Great Achievement 0/60000) ...] [Talent: Petrification (Perfection) ... Silk Spitting (Beginner 0/20+1 Ice Silkworm Molting)] [Detection: Yes/No] [Deduction: Yes/No] [Energy: 17828] The specific content on the panel seems unchanged compared to before. After the update, a patch note appeared on the attribute panel: This update improved panel visibility and operability, expanded the collectible energy range, added detection and deduction functions, integrated security patches, and fixed several bugs. ’Huh?’ Seeing the newly added detection and deduction functions, Lou Yi’s eyes lit up. With his gaze turning to these two function words, the panel automatically revealed their detailed descriptions. Detection: Consumes Qi-blood to investigate partial target information, with a certain randomness in information quantity, closely related to the target’s cultivation. Allows a one-time expansive detection in the surrounding area, usable only once in a short time. Deduction: Consumes a certain amount of energy, forcibly deducing the next layer of cultivation technique, skill, magic, or talent. ’These two functions seem quite formidable,’ Lou Yi thought to himself. Being able to detect target information is akin to seeing the introduction of an NPC in games from past lives. Knowing opponent’s information in advance would allow gaining the upper hand in subsequent conflicts, standing undefeated. Often, when two people with similar cultivation clash, the final outcome is mostly decided by the degree of information acquisition. This newly added function, Lou Yi naturally first tested on people around him. His gaze turned to Bi Yaoyao beside him, dressed in a loose light blue Daoist robe, which couldn’t conceal her impressive figure with talent almost overflowing. Lou Yi’s heart remained calm as a lake; Bi Yaoyao was merely an experimental subject in his eyes at that moment. The ’Yes’ word in the detection column suddenly lit up. In the next moment. Some of Bi Yaoyao’s information formed a separate white interface attached to the lower right corner of the attribute panel, adjustable in size. [Name: Bi Yaoyao] [Age: 26/?] [Realm: Qi Cultivation Sixth Level] [Cultivation Technique: Flame Fire Technique] [Magic: Lotus in Fire ...] [Attributes: Fire Element Mid-grade Spirit Root] Then looking at Rong Xuejian’s. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎 [Name: Rong Xuejian] [Age: 23/?] [Realm: Qi Cultivation Fifth Level] [Cultivation Technique: Profound Yin Technique] [Magic: Yin Qi Arrow ...] [Attributes: Yin Element Mid-grade Spirit Root] The variety of visible information is quite limited and many are incomplete. But just having the realm section is much more useful to Lou Yi than imagined. In the future, it will be challenging for anyone to hide cultivation in front of Lou Yi. Moreover, Lou Yi believes if the attribute panel gets another update, it will certainly enhance this aspect, potentially displaying more information. The detection function, besides targeting individuals, also includes a regional detection method. Lou Yi looked around, contemplating conducting regional detection. Invisible ripples propagated from his center outward in all directions. Instantly, Lou Yi felt the Qi inside him depleting rapidly. Almost half consumed, reaching the warning line, Lou Yi stopped. Information within a three-mile radius, where people are, where a spirit pet is hiding, where Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are stored, all appeared accurately in Lou Yi’s mind, forming a three-dimensional map. Paired with powerful five senses like Eye Acupoint and Ear Acupoint, enemies will have nowhere to hide before Lou Yi in the future. After understanding the detection functionality, Lou Yi began studying the deduction function. According to the introduction, it can deduce not only cultivation techniques but also skills, magic, and even talents. Upon Lou Yi’s gaze on these selections on the attribute panel, he discovered there was a limitation. It was that only at perfection level could subsequent deduction occur. Practices like Skin Refining Technique at Minor Achievement or Profound Yin Technique at Proficient Level couldn’t undergo deduction. Moreover, each perfection level cultivation technique or skill requires varying amounts of energy. Lou Yi glanced at the Yellow Extreme Breathing Technique at the second stage perfection, the deduction column illuminated. Simultaneously, deduction requirements popped up: Requires 110,000 energy points, can deduce to third stage Breathing Technique. If more martial arts categories are engaged, or effective next-realm information is comprehended, energy cost will decrease ... Meaning deduction isn’t out of nothing; appropriate accumulation is necessary beforehand. The more accumulated, the less energy expended. He then looked at the Lou’s Axe Skill at perfection level, needing 80,000 energy points. Extreme Fist can continue deducing, requiring only 60,000 energy points. For the only perfected talent, petrification, it demands 150,000 energy points. Talent can also undergo deduction; Lou Yi could hardly imagine what transformation it will undergo post-deduction. However, realm is fundamental; his current demand for the third stage Breathing Technique is the strongest. ’Energy, I need sufficient energy.’ Lou Yi knows merely exterminating pests in Zone Wujiu fields no longer satisfies him. Earn about a hundred points of energy daily, assembling 100,000 points would take ages. ’Time to take on tasks, head to the frontier city, hunt demons for energy,’ Lou Yi thought. He and Bi Yaoyao, Rong Xuejian, and others discussed, ultimately deciding to go to Pan City. Firstly, it’s closer to Ping’an Village, ensuring oversight, considering demon clan’s large-scale invasion, and Lou Yi’s concern for Ping’an Village’s safety. Secondly, his master He Xiang is guarding an adjacent city of Ru City, allowing convenient mutual support. The trio took on Pan City’s guard duty, rented several Wind Spirit Horses with fellow sect members aiming to offer protection, and descended the mountain. Currently, no rental fee is required for Wind Spirit Horses during special periods; only registration is needed. The group traveled ceaselessly for three days before arriving at Pan City. Pan City at present is filled with a murderous atmosphere; numerous soldiers gathered on the city wall, along with several Corpse-Driving Sect members wearing Daoist robes. All of them solemnly gazing outward where a dense mass congregated. ...
