Mythical Era: I Evolved Into A Stellar-Level Beast

At this point, Lori Parma smiled and said, “Of course, if you think those ordinary Mutated Beasts are not challenging, you can apply to me in advance to enter the Alien Beast Battlefield.”

“Under normal conditions, as long as one breaks through the Third Layer Heaven, students from any grade can apply.”

“However, in previous years, there were hardly any freshmen who broke through the Third Layer Heaven in the first semester of their first year, so this requirement was not announced.”

“Advance application… never mind.” Jack Clark shook his head slightly.

If he hadn’t known about the cleaning mission, he might have been a little tempted.

But knowing there were plenty of opportunities to earn Contribution Points coming up, he temporarily dismissed the idea of going out, as the Fourth Evolution of the Fourth Layer Heaven Armor Sword Beast was more important.

Having said that, Lori Parma waved her hand, “Alright, this will be announced in a couple of days. There’s still time before then, so go to the thirty-three floors and pick a secret method.”

As one of the top hundred people in this trial, Jack Clark received a reward to choose a common skill for free.

Speaking of secret methods, Jack couldn’t help but ask, “Teacher, what is the difference between the secret methods and the True Martial Arts we practice?”

Lori Parma thought for a moment, “There is a big difference. True Martial Arts is a holistic progression, and as long as you practice, you will steadily improve. Secret methods, on the other hand, are a type of extreme strengthening.”

“At the same time, secret methods can be divided into four major categories: Strengthening Type, Amplification Type, Burst Type, and Special Type.”

“As the name suggests, Strengthening Type can enhance strength, speed, and I remember there is a secret method that can amplify twice the basic strength of the cultivator when it reaches grand accomplishment.”

“Twice.” Jack was surprised.

Twice doesn’t seem like much, but it’s important to note that this is basic amplification, not True Strength.

That is to say, if the maximum limit of the Fourth Layer Heaven is four thousand kilograms of arm strength, then practicing this secret method can push it to eight thousand kilograms, which is nearly the same as his current strength.

Jack couldn’t help but become interested and asked, “Teacher, is this secret method difficult to practice?”

If he practiced this secret method, wouldn’t his basic strength double, and his full-strength explosive power jump directly to the Fifth Layer Heaven?

Lori Parma looked at Jack and knew what he was thinking, “The difficulty of practicing this secret method is manageable. A talented person can achieve success in half a year.”

“However, while it is said to be twice as much, the actual increase has a limit. At grand accomplishment, it can increase up to three tons, or three thousand kilograms, of basic strength.”

“In other words, all ordinary secret methods have a certain upper limit, whether it is strength amplification, speed burst, or natural attribute enhancement…”

Through Lori Parma’s introduction, True Martial Arts was likened to a complete sedan, while secret methods were like amplification parts or other functional equipment for a specific part.

And these secret methods all have a certain limit, and after the cultivator enters the high-order realm, they will seem rather mediocre.

As a result, many people choose to practice one or two secret methods to improve their strength after breaking through the Third Layer Heaven and Fourth Layer Heaven, but they do not exchange and practice too many of them.

After all, one has limited energy and cannot neglect the essence to focus on secret methods, which would hinder the progress of the realm.

When they had talked enough, Lori Parma suggested, “Your next opponents are mainly Mutated Beasts, so you can consider practicing the Cast Soldier Skill for your first secret method.”

“Cast Soldier Skill.” Jack’s eyes twinkled.

Lori Parma laughed, “Didn’t you wonder before why our weapons are so powerful? When you go up and see the introduction of that secret method, you’ll understand.”

With a puzzled look, Jack took the elevator to the 33rd Floor Reading Room.

As it was still early today, and the winter vacation, the reading room was empty. Jack went straight to the ‘internet cafe cubicle’ area where he had learned the martial arts before.

He found a small cubicle at random, closed the door, turned on the computer, and entered his Student ID for verification.

“Verification passed, welcome to use the Heavenly Intelligence System.”

“Your current permission in South Sky Martial Height has been upgraded to 11+ level, you can exchange all low-level martial arts, ordinary secret methods, and resources below Fifth Layer Heaven.”

“In addition, you can also query some secret information below 11+ level permissions. Reminder, secret information cannot be leaked arbitrarily.”

11+ level, his permission was raised so high after this trial. Jack was a little surprised.

When he achieved Foundation Establishment within half a month, his initial access level was 1+ level, and he could freely choose two Low-Level Martial Arts methods.

Those who achieved Foundation Establishment within a week, like Justin Welan, were at II- level, while Crystal Leinster and others who achieved Foundation Establishment in three to four days were at II level.

There was only one 11+ level in the whole school, Jane Aiken, who achieved Foundation Establishment in two days and reached the Second Layer Heaven within half a month.

Latterly, after ranking 49th in the ranking battles, Jack’s permissions were promoted to 11- level, indicating that his talent is similar to those ordinary geniuses.

According to Justin Welan, there is a higher level of talent permissions above 11+ level. As long as they don’t die halfway, those monsters would at least be top-level powerhouses of the Ninth Heavens.

Jack clicked on the permissions behind the name, and immediately four options appeared below, representing Martial Arts, Secret Methods, Resources, and Information.

Clicking on the Secret Method option, the screen changed instantly.

Compared to Low-Level Martial Arts, there are only twenty-one secret methods. Jack clicked on each secret method introduction, and the contents were roughly similar to what Lori Parma had told him.

Enhancing basic strength by three tons in the Strengthening Type, increasing speed by 30% in the Burst Type, and allowing True Strength to become flaming hot or icy cold in Attribute Type, and so on.

However, compared to these, the Special Type secret methods are much more mysterious and have only two of them.

One of them, called Hidden Deity, can help conceal and blend one’s aura and traces with surroundings if practiced successfully, and even more so when reaching grand accomplishment..
