World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 1545 - 382: Methods to Increase Dark Spiritual Power Limit (Part 2)
Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoman has the existence of the Spirit-controlling True Technique, which allows him to temporarily extract spiritual power from others to increase his dark spiritual power limit, enabling him to barely use it.
The downside is that this made his dark spiritual power limit temporary, and increasing it from ten thousand to meet the fifteen thousand mark is indeed a huge undertaking.
He shook his head, deciding not to think about these things for now.
Even to use this method to unleash the Starfall Ship-Slicing Saber, he would still need to learn it first.
For someone like Zhang Xiaoman, whose dark spiritual power is insufficient, even learning it is quite a difficult task.
It’s his extraordinary talent that allowed him to gradually master it even if he couldn’t directly practice by arranging formulas.
Ziwei had already left. Zhang Xiaoman copied a set of the Starfall Ship-Slicing Saber for her, being generous to friends.
With the strength of this woman, learning this combat skill shouldn’t be a problem. As for Hillna and Acatus, unfortunately, they only possess the power of basic-level controllers, unable to fulfill the dark spiritual series needed to communicate the combat skill.
...
Three days quickly passed.
Zhang Xiaoman had been staying in the hotel room for three days learning skills, not leaving even once.
Ziwei, too, after receiving the copy, had become a homebody, pondering all day on how to communicate the needed dark spiritual series.
For most Dark Spirits, not all dark spiritual series need to be communicated.
For instance, if none of the formulas mastered by someone required the 100 series of active dark spirit particles, then during communication, there is no need to communicate the 100 series, and they can skip to later stages directly.
But this situation becomes invalid once the series number reaches 70 or above.
According to what’s heard from people on the dark web, starting from the 70 series of active dark spirit particles, one must communicate sequentially, without any skips.
Ziwei is now communicating past the 60s, and seems to need more time to activate the 62 series of active dark spirit particles.
Luckily, Zhang Xiaoman never had similar troubles because the Sect Establishment Order, the ultimate item, allowed him to convert all types of dark spirit particles from the beginning, with only his energy limit being the restriction.
"The skills arrangement has almost been mastered; the remaining is practical exercise. Looks like I need a change of location..."
Zhang Xiaoman closed the combat skill projection.
After three days of study, he had memorized the arrangement of all dark spirit particles of the entire skill set and tried converting a single particle and a small group of particles.
He divided all active dark spirit particles into thirteen regions, prioritized the ones he could convert, and postponed trying for areas needing higher dark spiritual power until his limit could be temporarily increased using the Spirit-controlling True Technique.
Now, the segmented study is completed, with only the regions beyond his current dark spiritual power limit left.
"Skull Star has a dedicated cultivation field for Dark Spirits to practice skills, preventing unnecessary damage."
"But I don’t need to spend that money; I can directly use the Star Alliance Marker to practice on an uninhabited planet..."
"That’s settled, I just need to summon the Undead Army to enhance my spiritual power through the Spirit-controlling True Technique..."
Zhang Xiaoman calculated, the Spirit-controlling True Technique could absorb 20% spiritual power from a target, with a cooldown time of ten minutes and a duration of two hours.
The spiritual power of the Undead Clan generally hovered around 100 points, meaning Zhang Xiaoman could temporarily increase his spiritual power by about twenty points, converting to a dark spiritual power limit of 200 points every ten minutes.
To raise his power limit to fifteen thousand points, he’d need to utilize the technique around seven hundred times, equating to five days of continuous activation.
Regarding this, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but feel a bit exasperated.
Even if he could keep activating it for five days without rest, whether the two hundred plus undead could withstand such repeated torment remains uncertain.
"So troublesome..."
Zhang Xiaoman frowned, internally lamenting his insufficient energy limit as a significant drawback, requiring so much effort to activate a skill.
Yet he suddenly remembered the scene from the auction a few days earlier, where one person and one saber shattered an entire fleet, and couldn’t help but yearn for it once more.
Such incomparably powerful technique, even if complicated and time-consuming, is surely worthwhile.
Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but fantasize.
If he could truly use the Starfall Ship-Slicing Saber like that figure, perhaps he could split a small asteroid.
Alongside his Earthshaking Divine Power, the potency of this strike might even reach Naphaya’s full-force attack levels.
A perfect-level cultivation technique at the middle-level controller stage, if appropriately executed, could be as powerful as ordinary upper-level magic.
"Right, I might explore other options, not necessarily increasing the spiritual power limit solely via the Spirit-controlling True Technique..."
Suddenly, a thought struck Zhang Xiaoman, considering alternatives.
Things are different now, unlike back when he was on Water Blue Star, starting from scratch.
Surrounded by countless dark spiritual artifacts and a massive dark spirit technology organization, he might find better ways to enhance dark spiritual power limits beyond existing conditions.
Zhang Xiaoman quickly tidied himself, planning to check the trading center again, likely finding many dark spiritual artifacts there, including items increasing the wearer’s spiritual power limit upon wear.
If worst comes to worst, he could possibly buy some formulas temporarily enhancing dark spiritual power or spiritual power from the official marketplace of the Dark Spirit Association.
If so, even if he eventually needs the Spirit-controlling True Technique to increase the limit, it would greatly reduce the burden.
"Sounds good. I have plenty of Stardust now; Star Coins shouldn’t be an issue. I’ll try my luck there; maybe I’ll find something suitable..."
Leaving alone, Zhang Xiaoman didn’t bring Ziwei or others this time.
Everyone is occupied with their own affairs, whether Ziwei or Acatus or Hillna, spending days locked up busy cultivating.
Especially the undead clan, after Zhang Xiaoman’s arrival at Skull Star, they were equipped with specialized gear costing tens of millions of Star Coins for over two hundred undead.
Though these gears aren’t yet top-notch, they far surpass their previous mortal iron gear.
They’re now in their rooms communicating with their weapons.
Unlike mortal swords, dark spiritual artifacts contain their own spiritual essence, requiring nurturing upon acquisition, much like cultivators refining magic treasures.
"Shadow Pendant, increases dark spiritual power by 300 points, priced at five hundred thousand Star Coins."
"Soul Capturing Eye Mask, modestly enhances field of view, increases dark spiritual power by 200 points, priced at one million five hundred thousand Star Coins."
"Gold Silk Gloves, low-level defense ability, increases dark spiritual power by 500 points, priced at five million Star Coins."
"..."
At the trading market, Zhang Xiaoman wandered between shops while using the dark web’s filtering function to check registered items.
"Not enough... The increase in dark spiritual power is still too small, I need more refined equipment..."
He shook his head, unsatisfied with the equipment seen just now.
