Born Sacred

Chapter 118: Combat Training Manual

On a towering mountain peak, Noah sat cross-legged on a bluestone, quietly flipping through the ancient text in his hands.

"That should be enough."

Noah closed his eyes, the insights he had gained over the past few days gradually merging into one in his mind.

"Breakthrough."

The next moment, countless memories exploded in his mind, and Noah seemed to continue the life of that martial artist.

After becoming invincible in his current world, he ascended to a higher world, where there were countless powerful opponents and unimaginable wondrous techniques. He joyfully continued his path of combat, initially suffering repeated defeats, then gradually winning more than losing, and finally, winning much more than losing. After countless battles and numerous attempts at different cultivation methods, he ultimately elevated himself to a higher level...

A formidable power slowly emanated from Noah, and everything around him, centered on his position, gradually shattered and turned to dust.

When Noah calmed down, he paid no mind to the section of the peak that had been ground away by the power he had unconsciously emitted. He opened his attribute panel and looked at the cultivation method section.

[Combat Training Manual +1]

[Top-tier Cultivation Method]

[Realm: Minor Accomplishment]

[A complete martial arts classic, forged through countless battles and extensive refinement, named after combat. It encompasses cultivation, combat, and burst in three aspects.

Persistent cultivation can slowly enhance mental strength and a certain degree of physical fitness. Strength +5000, Agility +5000, Constitution +5000, Spirit +15000.

You grow stronger with each battle. Regardless of who your opponent is, you can gain a large amount of experience and insights in combat.

You have comprehended a stronger burst secret technique, allowing you to switch between Offensive, Defensive, Extreme Speed, and Destruction Forms at any time.]

"Combat Training Manual, a top-tier cultivation method."

Noah was delighted as he looked at the brand new cultivation method.

A top-tier cultivation method was equivalent to a perfect-grade one, and the Combat Training Manual did not disappoint him.

It continued the characteristics of the Path of Combat, still possessing three major abilities: attribute enhancement, combat buffs, and burst secret techniques.

The combat buff, of course, needed no further explanation; it hadn’t changed much. Compared to the Hundred Battles Martial Canon, the experience and insights gained through combat were greater, allowing him to grow faster.

The more significant changes were in the attribute values and the burst secret techniques.

The Hundred Battles Martial Canon primarily increased Constitution, followed by Strength and Agility, and least of all, Spirit.

The Combat Training Manual, however, was the opposite, with Spirit becoming the most increased attribute.

The reason for this was Noah’s consideration that his four main attributes were not balanced. The Savage Bloodline provided the most attribute points, and once he advanced to the third stage, it would become his primary source of attributes. However, the Savage Bloodline enhanced physical strength but not Spirit. Over time, Spirit would become Noah’s greatest weakness.

To resolve this hidden danger, Noah consulted many Spirit cultivation methods and integrated them into his own cultivation method, making the enhancement of Spirit the primary focus of his cultivation.

The power level of this world was extremely high, and Spirit cultivation methods were not lacking, which broadened Noah’s horizons considerably.

Unfortunately, due to it being a preliminary modification, the total attributes increased were not many, and it did not evolve into a Bloodline like the Savage Bloodline, which was a minor drawback.

The biggest change was the burst secret technique, which transformed from a simple all-attribute increase into four burst forms.

Noah’s gaze fell upon them, and immediately, more detailed information appeared.

[Offensive Form: Maximizes offense. Strength +120%, Constitution +60%, Spirit +120%]

[Defensive Form: Maximizes defense. Constitution +120%, Spirit +60%]

[Extreme Speed Form: Maximizes speed. Agility +120%, Constitution +60%]

[Destruction Form: Ultimate power to destroy everything. Strength +200%, Agility +200%, Constitution +200%, Spirit +200%, All Skill Effects +50%]

The four burst forms could adapt to more combat scenarios, but what surprised Noah the most was, without a doubt, the Destruction Form.

This was the ultimate burst within the burst state. Even at Minor Accomplishment, it granted an all-attribute increase of +200%. More critically, it also increased skill effects.

Taking Mountain River Collapse as an example, at level 6, with the title bonus, one punch would increase attack by +340%. In Destruction Form, it would surge to an attack power of +510%.

Six times the damage—Noah could hardly imagine such power.

Not only that, the Savage Bloodline was also a skill. The attributes it added and the Bloodline Liberation bonus would all be affected, making him even stronger.

It could be said that the Destruction Form was the culmination of Noah’s power, no longer simply cultivation methods being cultivation methods, skills being skills, and bloodlines being bloodlines, but a true integration and synthesis of all his learning.

"Now, I should be able to cause great trouble for the Weston Army, right?"

Noah smiled and soared into the air.

It was time to complete the mission.

...

In the Vane Army camp, Brooks looked up as if sensing something.

"Brooks, issue the order. Prepare for a full army assault," Brooks said, anticipation in his eyes.

He greatly anticipated Noah bringing him a surprise.

The current situation made Brooks feel like he was treading on thin ice, for he knew that their chances of victory were very slim.

The Weston Army had gathered the momentum of the world, pressing down like Mount Tai. Opposing them was defying the great trend. The Vane Alliance was going against the heavens, which showed how difficult it was.

Now, Noah had given Brooks hope, and he naturally would not miss such an opportunity.

Zarek first acknowledged, then hesitated, "Military Advisor, can he really throw the Weston Army into disarray?"

He was somewhat incredulous.

Over these three days, he had exchanged blows with Noah several times. Although both sides held back and didn’t go all out, they had a rough idea of each other’s strength.

Zarek admitted that Noah was stronger than him, but only by a limited margin, far from being able to cause chaos in the Weston Army.

At this time, the Weston Army was at its peak. Even if he charged with the White Horse Volunteers, he would be instantly submerged and devoured. He couldn’t imagine how strong one would have to be to disrupt the Weston Army; perhaps even Lazarus, who had lived his third life, couldn’t do it.

"Trust him."

Brooks said no more.
