While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Chapter 192 - New Movement Skill Part 2



There weren't as many techniques as skills as techniques had limited applications and could merely enhance the user's body, while skills had infinite possibilities and applications.

However that made it easier for Adam to make his decision and techniques were also cheaper than skills in the system, but they also required him to spend a lot of system points on mastery if he wanted it to actually be of much use to him.

​​

If a cultivator were to hear about how Adam could browse a game-like store and purchase techniques then instantly increase his mastery over them with the press of a button, they would all die of jealousy.

Cultivators could spend weeks, months and even years training a single technique to gain basic mastery over it, but yet Adam could do within an instant.

Adam browsed through most of the Movement Techniques that he could afford, but none of them stood out to him so he decided to browse through the Movement Skills since Cole and William seemed to still be talking.

Upon scrolling through the Movement Skills, Adam's attention was instantly caught by one the skills, but the issue was that he could barely afford it.

The Step Skip Movement Skill was one that interested Adam the most and was the most useful out of the skills that he had seen, which he afford. However, the price of the skill was an incredible amount and would heavily drain the system points and gold that he had saved up.

He also read that he would have to increase his mastery over the skill which would also be very expensive, however, when reading the technique's description, he couldn't help but praise how amazing it was.

It was unusual that he would have to gain mastery over a skill and that didn't match what he had seen in the system so far, but seeing the skill's description, it was a unique skill that almost seemed impossible.

The Step Skip Movement Technique

This is a technique that allows the user to literally skip steps. If the user could reach an opponent within 10 steps, which hypothetically could take 1 second, the user could skip all 10 steps and seemingly teleport before the opponent and attack them. This is a technique that does not increase the user's speed, but if used properly, can overcome large gaps of speed and make it seem as though the user can teleport. Every 1% of mastery gained over the skill, allows the user to skip 1 step and the skill uses 1 EESP and 1 IESP for every 10 steps that the user has skipped.

He wanted the skill so badly, but looking at the price of 500,000 system points and knowing that he would have to increase his mastery before it was very useful to him, he wasn't sure whether to buy it or not.

Upon buying the skill he would have 1% mastery and with that, he could skip 1 step and using it 10 times would only use 1 IESP and EESP. That meant that with the size of Adam's energy storages, he could skip a total of 560 steps. With Adam's large steps and the short battels that cultivators would have, it was a massive advantage and extremely useful ability to have in a battle that completely didn't make sense. 

How was it possible to skip steps, unless the skill was somehow manipulating either space or time, allowing him to skip time where he would have taken a step, or would move him forwards through space without needing him to take a step.

Either way, it was an incredible ability that although was limited at him being able to skip 100 steps at once, would allow him to seemingly be able to teleport.

[System is there a cooldown for the skill? If there isn't, there would be no need to increase the mastery and I should be able to use it back to back to have the same results as if I had higher mastery over it] asked Adam within his mind.

{Yes, the host is correct. There is a one second cold down between every time the host uses the skill, however, as the host's mastery increases, the cool down will be shorter} answered the host.

{For every 10% mastery the host gains over the skill, the cool down for the skill will become shorter by 0.1 seconds} informed him the system.

[That means that if I gained 100% mastery over the skill, there would be no cooldown and I could literally teleport endlessly as long as I had enough energy] exclaimed Adam within his mind, amazed and unable to imagine such a feat being possible.

With that in mind and knowing that he would always be able to earn more system points and that it was an amazing skill that was unique, Adam decided to purchase it.

He could see that Cole and William had just finished their talk and were heading over to him, so he had to be quick and changed all of his gold into system points.

Adam only had 6,333,070, yet he was willing to change all of it into system points to be able to afford the skill and the 6,333,070 gold, gave him 63,330 system points, since 100 gold was equivalent to 1 system point.

Adam had already asked the system whether he could change money from the real world into gold so that he could then change that into system points that were the most valuable thing to him, but the system, unfortunately, told him that at the moment that wasn't possible.

It meant that it was still a possibility, but for the current moment, he wouldn't be able to and had to hunt as much as he could to save as much gold and system points as possible, to be able to afford such large purchases.

It hurt his heart to have to use everything that he had saved, but in the end, Adam still felt that it was worth it.
