Hearing this, Fang Xueyi was a little puzzled.
"A better secret technique?"
"How could that be? Isn't World Annihilation already the best spear-force secret technique?"
"And what do you mean by a foundational secret technique?"
Just as she finished speaking, a notification sound came from her communication wristband.
That meant someone had just sent her a message.
Normally, while in the base city, she kept notification sounds on.
Only when going into the wilderness would she switch to silent vibration, or even only receive without alert.
She instinctively opened her wristband to check.
"Huh? What secret technique did you send me?"
When Fang Xueyi opened the warrior's foundational spear technique Luo Fan had sent, she was instantly a little shocked.
"This… what kind of spear technique is this?"
"So profound!"
"A spear can even be used like this?"
Looking at the foundational spear technique on her wristband, Fang Xueyi couldn't help but feel shaken.
This was one of the warrior's foundational secret techniques that Dumpling had searched out online.
There were also other blade techniques, whip techniques, sword techniques, staff techniques…
There were just too many.
In the Virtual Universe, one could find them with a simple search.
They were the fundamental knowledge summarized across countless epochs of the universe.
Even the foundations for Spiritual Force Masters were included.
The Controller's Chapter, the Illusion Chapter, the Beast-Taming Chapter…
Of course, these were only the basics.
Yet even as basics, they were extremely profound.
The secret techniques created by Earth's humans couldn't compare at all.
After all, these had been revised and perfected by one powerhouse and genius after another across countless epochs.
Those humans who had contact with the wider universe grew up training in these very secret techniques.
Even without specialized force-exertion methods.
Once someone trained in these foundational secret techniques, creating their own exertion methods several times stronger was no problem.
Just like the Spiritual Force Master Foundations Luo Fan had exchanged from Hong.
That one wasn't even as good as the foundational techniques found in the Virtual Universe.
But even so, its Divine Diagram Records in the original story still allowed Luo Feng to amplify his spiritual force.
It was just that the improvement speed was relatively slow.
As for things like the Controller's 312 Styles of Ink Star, those belonged to smaller powers' own foundational secret techniques.
They were a bit better than the mass-available ones online.
For example, Luo Fan's Foundational Blade Technique 108 Styles was also part of those smaller powers' private collections.
However, since Luo Fan already had the Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade, he didn't need those anymore.
But Fang Xueyi trained in the spear, so it wouldn't be good to suddenly have her switch to blades.
Anyway, Luo Fan would soon head into the universe.
By then, he could just buy a set for Fang Xueyi.
At this moment, looking at the secret technique on her wristband, Fang Xueyi was already impatient to start cultivating it.
"Eh, wait, there's something else for you."
Luo Fan stopped Fang Xueyi and took out the silver armguard and the Black God Set he had obtained from Thor earlier.
Fang Xueyi looked curiously at the smart optical computer in Luo Fan's hand and asked,
"What are these two?"
Luo Fan explained their functions to her.
When she heard about the smart optical computer, Fang Xueyi didn't react much, she thought it was just an upgraded version of a communication wristband.
But when she heard about the functions of the Black God Set, she was once again shocked.
"You should keep this for yourself. The Black God Set is so powerful, you should use it."
Fang Xueyi directly refused.
Hearing this, Luo Fan smiled, and with a thought...
In the next moment, the casual clothes on his body instantly transformed into a water-blue battle suit.
"I have one myself, and it's no weaker than the Black God Set."
Seeing Luo Fan's battle suit, Fang Xueyi's first reaction was to ask with shining eyes,
"Can the Black God Set also transform into any kind of clothing like this?"
Luo Fan was momentarily stunned at her words.
Seriously, what kind of warrior's first reaction to a first-grade battle suit is whether it can transform into different clothes?
Helplessly, he nodded.
Seeing this, Fang Xueyi no longer hesitated and snatched the black glove from Luo Fan's hand.
That black glove was the Black God Set.
Since the Black God Set would consume quite a bit of blood, Luo Fan also set aside some Wood Spirit Liquid for her.
Then, he went to the villa next door.
He was preparing to carefully examine the secret techniques he had received as system rewards earlier.
There were too many of them, and he hadn't had the chance to look through them yet.
He decided to start with Raging Sea Mad Blade and Waves.
These two were matching secret techniques for the tier-three battle blade Wave-Cutting Edge and the tier-three spiritual force weapon Wave-Splitting Shuttle.
The tier-three flying shuttle and the tier-four weapon Water-Splitting Sphere were also good, but they didn't have matching secret techniques.
Luo Fan first looked at Raging Sea Mad Blade.
Raging Sea Mad Blade had three moves in total.
The first move, Wave-Cutting, required force output to reach twelve times.
Luo Fan had achieved this, so he could start cultivating it.
The second move, Raging Waves, not only required force output of thirty times, but also demanded mastery of a water-element artistic conception.
The third move, Raging Sea Mad Blade, required force output of forty-eight times and mastery of the Water Domain.
For now, Luo Fan could only start training in the first move.
Next, he began studying Waves.
It also had three forms.
The requirements for all three were the same as those of Raging Sea Mad Blade.
At present, Luo Fan couldn't use them at all.
He needed to first improve his mental force amplitude.
So, he decided to take a look at Detailed Explanation of Spiritual Force Masters.
This should have been a reward he received for obtaining Foundations of Spiritual Force Masters.
He began recalling the contents of Detailed Explanation of Spiritual Force Masters.
There was a lot inside.
It included introductions to the three main branches: Illusionists, Beast Tamers, and Controllers.
In addition, there were corresponding cultivation methods.
Luo Fan focused on recalling the Controller's 256 Forms.
Although it had fewer moves than Meteorite Star's Controller's 312 Forms, Luo Fan felt it shouldn't be any weaker.
The 256 Forms involved controlling several objects, arranging and moving them in the ways described.
At the beginning, one only needed to use four flying knives, or any other objects.
By the time one reached the 256th form, sixteen flying knives were required.
Luo Fan didn't hesitate and decided to try it out with the Wave-Splitting Shuttle.
The Wave-Splitting Shuttle was made up of 729 small flying shuttles.
Luo Fan took out four of the small flying shuttles.
[Task: Practice the first form of Controller's 256 Forms 100 times. Reward: Mental Force Amplitude +1]
"Holy shit!"
Luo Fan stared at this reward, completely stunned.
This is way too good!
Just by practicing a hundred times, his mental force amplitude would directly increase by one whole level!
But Luo Fan guessed this was the result of multiple factors combined.
First, even though he had already reached the planetary level, his mental force amplitude was still only sixfold — honestly, a bit low for his stage.
On top of that, his terrifying comprehension ability played a role, and the 256 Forms itself was one of the finest among foundation secret arts.
All these together resulted in such a reward.
Without hesitation, he started training according to the method of the first form.
At the beginning, Luo Fan was still a little unfamiliar.
The first form contained many complex movements.
Each time he ran through it, it took him ten minutes.
But gradually, as he grew more skilled, his speed became faster and faster.
