Deep in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
The rushing river water fell from a hundred meters high cliff, forming a waterfall curtain plummeting from the sky, with great momentum and a thunderous sound that was deafening.
In the midst of the several hundred meters high waterfall, a rock jutted out at an angle, forming an optimal viewing spot.
At the very end of the rock, Jack Clark sat cross-legged in his black-red armor, a blue radiance emanating from his wristwatch, forming large swathes of text in the air.
This was the outline of an Advanced Skill known as True Martial Grand Mountain.
It detailed the intricate essentials of this skill that sought to embody the mountain’s strength with each level, the targeted meridians, the degree of body tempering and the changes in True Strength.
Beyond that, it also described which Alien Beast Essence Blood was needed for each level, which resources containing the ponderous essence of mountains should be absorbed, and what effects could be achieved.
Except for the missing Fourth Level Will Core, this outline almost completely explained the intricacies of the skill, complex and convoluted.
An Advanced Skill capable of cultivation to the peak of the Sixth-level Heaven, touching the limits of ‘martial arts’—it could be said to contain the creator’s lifelong dedication.
Each level of the skill was tested multiple times, where a single misstep could result in heavy injuries.
Therefore, after viewing each outline of an Advanced Skill, Jack Clark always admired the achievements of the predecessors and felt deep respect for them.
After all, without these pioneers, even if he could strengthen himself with Attribute points, he would not have been able to reach the peak of the Fifth Layer Heaven so quickly.
After finishing the outline, Jack Clark slowly closed his eyes. Countless characters surfaced in his mind, his consciousness working at a terrifying speed to absorb, understand, and analyze this skill.
Having decided to tread the path of creating his own Top-tier Secret Book, during this period, apart from cultivation, Jack spent his time observing other Advanced Skills through the Heavenly Think Tank.
He was enriching his own knowledge by drawing on the strengths of various experts, enhancing his intrinsic foundation in Martial Cultivation.
As for hunting Unique Beasts to earn contribution points… it’s better left unsaid.
During this time, as a large number of students poured into the outskirts of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, teams from the fourth and fifth layers ventured into the middle sections, and the whole mountain range became bustling.
In such circumstances, even if mountain ranges teemed with high-level mutated organisms, there weren’t enough to kill.
Moreover, most of the Level 6 Mutated Creatures deep in the mountain ranges were almost decimated by the sweeping teams of Martial Cultivation Teachers, and the few remaining ones went into hiding.
Additionally, due to resources that had been scavenged for many years by the so-called geniuses at the late stage of the Fifth Layer Heaven, Jack found himself at a loss after tearing through the Southern Battlefield and becoming the first person among the younger generation in the south.
Because there were no contribution points left to earn.
Of course, no contribution points to earn meant none of the kinds that involved hundreds or thousands at a time; there were still some Level 5 Alien Beasts in the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range if one searched diligently.
For instance, right after leaving seclusion, Jack slayed a Level 5 Alien Beast and dragged it back.
However, entering the mountain range one day, searching for another, and then taking three or four days to transport it back, he barely earned a little over too contribution points in almost a week.
This irritated Jack.
In the end, he decided to devote half of his energy to setting a goal of breaking through to the Sixth Layer Heaven within a month, accumulating 500 contribution points, and observing a hundred Advanced Skills.
By then, he would likely have to consider another path.
After all, the school could provide no further assistance to him once he reached the Sixth Layer Heaven.
Fortunately, he did not need to pay contribution points for viewing Eastern Summer’s stock of Advanced Skills at the moment, which saved him a lot.
Otherwise, under normal conditions, one outline with the first three levels would cost fifty points, and to exchange for a complete Advanced Skill would require 300 points.
Meanwhile, the Thunderflame Behemoth had been in hibernation for a week, quietly completing its transformation from Level 7 to Level 8 in a state that seemed asleep but wasn’t.
While the Thunderflame Behemoth rested, the Silver Giant Dragon, now the King of the Dragon Palace, along with the Tiger Fish Dragon Turtle, went on a rampage, sweeping all Level 7 creatures within a thousand kilometers surrounding the Dragon Palace.
These Level 7 creatures either submitted to it, got driven out, or were killed, and up to now, not a single Level 7 Colossus had been subdued.
The reason was simple: this fool would charge forward and start fighting upon every encounter.
As for the safety of the hibernating Thunderflame Behemoth in the Dragon Palace, there was no need to worry. It was in a semi-hibernation state and could wake up to tear apart attackers at any moment.
It was simply too sleepy and couldn’t be bothered to move, which made Jack feel drowsy all the time too.
At this moment, Jack’s wristwatch vibrated lightly; James Crane sent him a message.
“Jack Clark, come back to the Martial Arts School Base as soon as you receive this message, there’s something important I need to discuss with you.” Something important?
A look of confusion flashed in Jack’s eyes. Then, in an instant, his figure vanished from the spot with astonishing speed.
The next morning, Jack returned to the Martial Arts School Base and the moment he stepped onto the square, he saw a Bluebird Level fighter aircraft parked there, with many students gathered around it.
Next to the aircraft, Captain Johann Drake was talking to James Crane about something.
Jack walked over briskly and greeted, “Teacher, Captain Drake.”
Seeing the dust-covered Jack who had hurried back, James expressed his surprise, “I just said I thought you’d be back around noon; I didn’t expect you to arrive this morning.”
“Go, accompany Johann to the rear great base. General Lance wants to see you,” said James.
“General Lance wants to see me? Is there something the commander of the southern battlefield needs me for?” Jack paused, uncertain what the commander might want with him.
“I’m not sure about the specifics. He just told me to ask you if you were interested in two Top-tier Secret Manuals, and if you were, to head over,” explained James.
Two Top-tier Secret Manuals. Jack’s eyes lit up.
Although he had already applied for the God Elephant Secret Book, it was incomplete..
