Transmigration with Cheat Codes Chapter 10.1: Mysterious Void Technique

Proficiently activating "wisdom /r" and "lucky time /r", Meng Jintang immersed herself in studying the newly acquired martial arts.

[System: The new internal skill does not conflict with the original internal skill. Please choose to inherit/overwrite/abandon.]

Meng Jintang chose [inherit].

[System: Successfully learned "Mysterious Void Technique (I)". Internal energy increased by 900 points, physical fitness increased by 2 points, and gained 500 experience points.]

"Mysterious Void Technique" was somewhat similar to "Basic Internal Skills." The latter was a non-attributed internal skill, while the former was a well-balanced mixed-element internal skill.

Therefore, the former could fully inherit the internal energy cultivated from the latter without any negative effects.

Meng Jintang opened the [Learned Martial Arts] interface, and at this moment, "Basic Internal Skills" had already disappeared without a trace. The newly appeared "Mysterious Void Technique" was displayed as follows:

[Mysterious Void Technique (I): 1200/2000 (Total Level 4, Current Level 0);]

Meng Jintang nodded slightly - if the highest level of the first volume alone was level 4, then the complete "Mysterious Void Technique" should be a martial art of level 7 or 8. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be usable at least until the mid-game stage of the game.

Feeling the abundant internal energy, Meng Jintang was satisfied but also somewhat regretful. If she had known earlier that the highest level of the first volume was only level four, she would not have needed to use commands and could have still...

[System: "Mysterious Void Technique" is a profound Taoist mental method. Meng Jintang studied it late into the night when suddenly, a flash of insight struck her, as if she had realized something.]

[Successfully comprehended the qinggong skill "Swooping Swallow's Flight". Agility increased by 3 points, gained 300 experience points.]

Meng Jintang was speechless.

As she looked at the newly popped-up system notification, she seemed to have a better understanding of what the phrase "drawing inferences from other things" meant in the martial arts manuals.

[Swooping Swallow's Flight: 300/1500 (Total Level 3, Current Level 0);]

Meng Jintang's original agility was indeed too low, and the first volume of "Mysterious Void Technique" itself was only at level 4.

If she hadn't entered cheat codes to increase her luck and aptitude before reading, she estimated that she would have only been able to comprehend a level 2 qinggong skill slightly higher than "Basic Qinggong" at best.

"Today's gains are not bad. Did I trigger a fortuitous event?"

Meng Jintang was unaware that to complete the hidden quest [Burial in the Desolate Mountains], the prerequisites were extremely demanding.

She had to start the expulsion mission during the early stage of the monster invasion in the sect's home base and spare the boss's life at the critical moment.

​​Due to the increased aggro value, the invading monsters in the home base would eventually become a stable farming spot for the sect, especially with the addition of the boss.

They would undoubtedly drop valuable items. As a result, very few players would choose to spare the boss and show mercy.

After meeting the prerequisites, it was also necessary to help the leader of the invading monsters detoxify. Otherwise, the poisoned boss would die shortly afterward, preventing players from being guided into the cave on the mountain peak.

Of course, even if one successfully reached the mysterious cave on the mountain peak and discovered the bundle and sword next to the dry bones, not everyone could resist the temptation of the weapon.

Upon seeing the words on the ground, some chose to turn around and walk away.

Indeed, while game designers enjoyed creating immersive and thought-provoking experiences for players, overall, they also strived for balance. A hidden quest that required both sufficient luck and strength to complete would have offered generous rewards.

Regardless of the game, players in a martial arts-themed setting would never overlook skills related to internal techniques and lightness techniques. This was not a matter of personal preference but rather a result of the vast number of martial arts novels or novels containing martial arts elements available on the internet.

These novels had deeply ingrained in readers' minds the idea that mastery of these two skills was a decisive factor in determining whether one could be considered a true martial arts expert.

Meng Jintang had just acquired a new martial art skill, and while it was still fresh in her mind, she was also eager to resolve the toxin on the dry bones.

Throughout the day, she roamed the mountains, constantly on the lookout. Whenever she had a moment, she would crouch down and gather a handful of herbs.

She had already discovered the highlight of "Swooping Swallow's Flight": its agility. In gaming terms, it meant strong evasion, making it highly suitable for use in battles. She even relied on this advantage to engage in a one-on-one fight with a level 16 boss, the Brown Bear King.

At this moment, Meng Jintang had replaced her "Silk Harvesting Skirt" with a "Fragrant Grass Skirt" that had better attributes but the same rarity.

Although the two sets of clothing had different designs, coincidentally, they were both in shades of green. This provided her with a unique advantage of concealment in the mountainous forests.

Meng Jintang, blending in with her surroundings through her attire, held her long sword and circled around the Brown Bear King.

Although she had recently comprehended "Swooping Swallow's Flight," her speed had increased by at least a hundred percent compared to when she was using "Basic Qinggong." In the end, relying on her footwork, she managed to whittle down the opponent's health bar to empty.

The three-foot green blade pierced through the back of the Brown Bear King from behind, swiftly retracting afterwards. Meng Jintang gracefully stepped back, watching as the boss fell backward. Only then did she begin to examine the new items she had obtained.

[System: Successfully killed the Brown Bear King. Gained 620 experience points, 1 Brown Bear Gallbladder, and 5 silver coins.]

Indeed, it was rare for animal-like monsters to drop money in games, but it was not completely impossible.

The official explanation given was that sometimes monsters would accidentally swallow human items, and when players would defeat them, they naturally obtained the items that had been inside the monsters.

[System: Amidst the twilight of the mountain, the Brown Bear King dared to stand against me. In the battle against the Brown Bear King, something stirred within me, and I successfully comprehended the martial art skill "Bear-Pard Strength". Gained 100 experience points.]

From the perspective of experience points, the value of “Bear-Pard Strength” was not as high as “Sword Sharpening Technique”.

After conducting a brief study, Meng Jintang found that "Bear-Pard Strength" leaned more towards palm techniques or fist techniques in terms of usage. Strictly speaking, it was a method of exerting force, sacrificing movement speed in exchange for increased strength and defense.

Meng Jintang pursed her lips and felt that she might have drawn a skill that was very suitable for tanking, but it was far from the high agility and high attack DPS route she had expected….

[Bear-Pard Strength: 0/1500 (Total Level 3, Current Level 0);]

Meng Jintang had just comprehended the skill and was not yet proficient in it. At that time, she could only use it while in a stationary state, resembling a bulldozer pushing forward.

She found an ordinary level 10 Brown Bear to test it out. First, she used her qinggong to maneuver the bear to an open area. Then, swiftly closing the distance, she abandoned her sword and switched to palm strikes. Both palms struck the front of the bear simultaneously.

Bam!

The Brown Bear did not have time to react and was quickly laid down on the ground.

Instant kill.

Meng Jintang exhaled a breath of relief. Although she had only executed one attack, it had depleted one-third of her internal energy stored in her dantian.

That was an extremely mana-consuming skill.

Just as Meng Jintang was about to continue her journey of hunting monsters, a hint of blue color appeared on her face, and she could not help but lower her head and start coughing.
