132: Hidden Ability

"Strength, potential?"

Chen Du silently repeated these two words in his mind, his attention completely focused on 13.

He was afraid of missing a single word.

The pressure from the ten times gravity felt less heavy now, due to his shifted attention.

"First, I'll briefly introduce the Mystic Treasures."

"A Mystic Treasure is the silver substance that fills the ten grooves on a star plate."

"And the star plate that carries these Ten Secret Treasures is called a 'star plate.'"

"Everyone will awaken at least one Mystic Treasure after advancing to a Martial Artist."

"For each of the three major conditions you fulfill, the number of awakened Mystic Treasures will increase by 1."

"Only the condition of reaching Life Strength Rank 11 before 18 years old is an exception."

"It requires Rank 15 or higher to awaken."

"Your ability to enter the Qilin Class means you are at least at B-Class contract level."

"You have completed at least one of the three major conditions."

"In the future, when you advance to a Martial Artist, you will all start with at least two Mystic Treasures."

"A-Class contracts start with Three Secret Treasures, and S-Class Students, before Rank 15, will most likely also have Three Secret Treasures."

When 13 said this, her gaze suddenly sharpened, and the atmosphere in the room subtly changed.

Some cautious students even directly took out their weapons from their Storage Rings and adopted a combat stance.

13 was expressionless and said nothing about it. The next second, a star plate appeared above her head.

"Five Secret Treasures!"

Someone exclaimed, and everyone looked over.

"That's right, this is the Five Secret Treasures."

"The star plate you see is the star plate, and the silver substance on the star plate is the Mystic Treasure."

13 said indifferently.

"Normally, without some special Opportunity, even an S-Class Student's endpoint is merely Four Secret Treasures."

When 13 said this, there was a hint of undetectable arrogance in her tone.

The oppressive feeling of the Five Secret Treasures was particularly strong, no wonder some students unconsciously took out their weapons.

Although 13 had no killing intent, the pressure emanating from the star plate could not be concealed.

Chen Du himself had also awakened a Mystic Treasure, so he understood the difference even more clearly.

If two Martial Artists had the same Life Strength, one with Five Secret Treasures and the other with only a common one Mystic Treasure.

The latter would probably be as fragile as paper in front of the former.

This shows just how enormous the gap between a Genius Martial Artist and an ordinary Martial Artist is.

Excellent graduates who worked hard for four years at an ordinary Martial Arts University.

Couldn't even defeat students on their first day at the Three Top Academies!

"The Awakening of Mystic Treasures, besides when advancing to a Martial Artist, is also divided into two periods: 'early stage' and 'late stage.'"

"When Life Strength reaches Rank 11, Rank 12, Rank 13, and Rank 14, there is a chance to awaken a Mystic Treasure."

"This is the early stage."

"The late stage Awakening is unrelated to Life Strength Rank; after Rank 15, every breath has a chance to awaken a Mystic Treasure."

"But don't get too excited too soon. Although it sounds like the probability after Rank 15 is infinitely high."

"Very few can truly awaken a Mystic Treasure."

Chen Du highly agreed with this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life to obtain that secret treasure heart.

After obtaining the secret treasure heart, Chen Du used it on the same day, as Yan Yun suggested.

Once he advances to a Martial Artist, he will directly gain the effects of after Rank 15.

Every breath will have a chance to awaken a secret treasure heart, instead of only those four Ranks.

"The basic content of Mystic Treasures is roughly like this."

"These are all materials our predecessors continuously summarized and perfected over time; you must remember them well."

The next second, one of the Mystic Treasures above 13's head suddenly began to glow.

The terrifying power made all the students present unconsciously frown.

Although they knew the teacher wouldn't attack the students, the oppressive feeling of the Five Secret Treasures was still terrifying.

Especially in this sealed, cramped, and quiet air-raid shelter.

Everyone felt inexplicably suppressed, and every movement seemed to be infinitely amplified.

"Next, I will talk about the abilities of Mystic Treasures!"

"When Life Strength, Martial Skill, and Mental Energy are approximately the same."

"It is an undeniable fact that those with more Mystic Treasures are stronger than those with fewer."

"There are two reasons for this. One is that Mystic Treasures can increase our base strength."

"Students who have already become Martial Artists must be very clear about this."

"One Mystic Treasure increases base strength by 10%."

"Two Mystic Treasures, by 20%."

"From Three Secret Treasures onwards, the formula for increasing base strength is the sum of the percentages of the previous two Mystic Treasures."

"Remember, this increase is not an addition on top of the previous one, but a replacement."

"I'll use a Martial Artist as an example for you."

"As everyone knows, a Martial Artist with a Life Strength Rank of 10."

"His corresponding base strength is exactly 10,000 catties."

"If he awakens one Mystic Treasure, his base strength will be 11,000 catties."

"Awakening two Mystic Treasures, it will be 12,000 catties, not 13,000 catties."

"The 20% of two Mystic Treasures will replace the 10% of one Mystic Treasure."

"By analogy, Three Secret Treasures will be 10% of one Mystic Treasure plus 20% of two Mystic Treasures, and this 30% will replace the 20% of two Mystic Treasures."

Although Chen Du's math wasn't very good, he really couldn't solve the difficult problems.

But simple mental arithmetic was no problem.

Following the rule 13 described, he calculated in his mind.

If it were Ten Secret Treasures, that would be an 890% base strength amplification factor!

Base strength would directly receive an amplification factor of nearly nine times!

This means if one Martial Artist's strength is 10,000 catties, another's is 89,000 catties!

And this is still base strength!

Martial Skill is a means to develop the body's latent power.

The greater your base strength, the more latent power you have, and naturally, the greater the power developed.

Between a Martial Artist with one Mystic Treasure and a Martial Artist with Ten Secret Treasures, without using any other means.

When Martial Skill is fully unleashed, there will be a difference of dozens, even nearly a hundred times!

You know, with strength, let alone being twice as strong, even being 20% stronger can show a visible difference.

"And then there are abilities."

"Mystic Treasures will awaken an ability respectively when their number reaches one, three, five, and seven."

"The strength of each ability is closely related to the number of Mystic Treasures."

"Moreover, abilities obtained later are stronger."

At this moment, a trembling hand was raised:

"Teacher!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, Chen Du included. It was a well-built woman, about 2.2 meters tall.

Her trembling was not due to fear, but mainly the effect of the ten times gravity; everyone was already struggling just to stand.

"What about Ten Secret Treasures?"

"Ten Secret Treasures should be the strongest, right?"

"Will it not awaken a new ability?"

This question was also what other students present were curious about.

But not everyone was so extroverted, especially when facing this teacher who mentioned death at the beginning.

And whose name was a number.

13 shook her head:

"Throughout the 863-year history of the entire High Martial Civilization, no one has ever awakened Ten Secret Treasures!"
