Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 596 - 320: The Possibility of Becoming the Martial Arts God, and the Contract with Alice_2

The so-called martial arts resonance refers to the battle techniques and martial skills left behind by martial artists.

The sin of greed records every martial artist's battle methods and skills that Louis has encountered, transforming them into martial arts resonance that never wears out, and implants them into the Tomb of Arms.

The Curse Binding Legion continuously nurtures the martial arts resonance, preventing further erosion of the techniques and skills contained within it.

The negative energy of the Shadow Realm provides the conditions for projecting martial arts resonance onto individuals, forming spell models.

Olivia even suspects that Louis wants to turn the Curse Binding Legion into a kind of Summoned Beast, one that can be summoned through the Tomb of Arms by others.

Louis watched with interest as Olivia's face changed colors, smiling as he said:

"It seems like you've guessed what I'm trying to do. Why don't you tell me about it?"

The Little Swan sighed and shared her speculation with Louis.

Louis clicked his tongue and said, "It looks like we thought of the same place. It's a pity, with the current level of perfection of the Tomb of Arms, there aren't many martial skills that can be used cyclically."

"How many?" Alice finally couldn't help but ask, "Surely not just a few?"

Louis shook his head and said, "Only the complete sets of martial skills from Nine Sword levels 1-9, as well as level 1-10 of Eternal Blade, Jade Phoenix Mage, and Nine Sword Grandmaster's skills, plus the 2 martial skills mastered by the Master of Arms.

As for the additional spells that the Jade Phoenix Mage needs to learn, I'm powerless."

Olivia's face visibly darkened.

"What, you want to reach the sky in one step and turn the Tomb of Arms into a mage's spell net?"

Louis looked at Olivia and Alice and said, "It's nothing compared to your mages' spell net, which can accommodate thousands of spell models for you to choose from."

1-9 level martial skills, totaling 208.

10 exclusive skills for the Blood Blade.

8 exclusive skills for the Eternal Blade (depending on the level, the number of times Eternal training can be used per day will vary).

8 exclusive skills for the Jade Phoenix Mage.

9 exclusive skills for the Nine Sword Grandmaster.

2 exclusive skills for the Master of Arms.

Totaling 247 types of martial skills.

While it lags far behind the mages' spell net, where the vast selection can be overwhelming, and the effects of projected martial skills can't be complete, it's a great start.

"What nonsense! Allowing future generations to choose any of 247 martial skills based on their professional level, even if they're weaker versions, is a groundbreaking event."

Alice pinched her brow, painfully saying, "Here's a suggestion: first, limit the number of martial skills slots projected by the Tomb of Arms, and definitely don't let outsiders know."

"You wouldn't want to create a technical monopoly, would you?" Louis playfully scolded.

"Monopoly my foot. The key isn't letting others use it, but the fact that the martial skills in your Tomb of Arms aren't comprehensive. Have you considered the shock to those advanced professions not recorded in the Tomb of Arms when the martial skills slots are revealed?"

Louis suddenly realized, "You're right, this needs more consideration."

Only 8 advanced professions exist for the Nine Sword, and only 7 can fully enhance the martial artist level, while the Blood Blade's enhancement is only 50%.

Moreover, the martial skills mastered by the Master of Arms do not belong to the Nine Sword system.

That means, the only ones who can truly maximize the Tomb of Arms' characteristics are those who choose the profession of Eternal Blade, Jade Phoenix Mage, and Weapon Master.

Seems about right, doesn't it?

But you have to understand, the Jade Phoenix Mage is limited to 13 people.

The Blade Tutors for the Eternal Blade are limited, and even if the Empire has the corresponding employment methods, the number truly employed nationwide doesn't exceed 500.

As for the Nine Sword Grandmaster, it's a notoriously difficult profession, with less than 300 employed nationwide in the Empire, and they are mostly high-end combat force.

In reality, based on the current setup of the Tomb of Arms, promoting martial skills slots externally is practically a death sentence for the more numerous civilian professions. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The three major T0 advanced professions and half-a-T0 Jade Phoenix Mage account for less than 1% of advanced profession numbers.

"So, from the start, promotion wasn't feasible?" Louis chuckled, "Didn't I just tell you? The Tomb of Arms needs your cooperation."

Olivia furrowed her brows, somewhat confused by Louis's intention.

"The negative energy absorbed by the Tomb of Arms from the Shadow Realm is limited. The number of people it can cover is far less than that of the spell net, or even the Shadow Demon Net."

Olivia suddenly realized, you want me and Alice to test how many people the negative energy you're currently absorbing can supply to use the Tomb of Arms?

"Exactly."

"Why didn't you say so earlier, I'll help you." Olivia extended her hand and said, "What do I need to do?"

After a moment of contemplation, Louis reached out to tap her and Alice's foreheads.

"I've implanted the mark of the Tomb of Arms in you."

Olivia only felt as if her consciousness was climbing upward continuously, a plethora of densely packed martial skill options appearing in her mind.

"Stop, stop, you've transmitted too much," Olivia screamed, her legs giving way as she collapsed to the ground.

Louis pulled her up as she was about to fall and asked, "What's going on?"

Olivia, panting heavily, said, "For you, a level 1 martial skill Nightmare Sword: Emerald, there are over two hundred variations—are you trying to drive ordinary people insane?"

Louis thought for a moment and said, "To date, I've learned a total of 272 variations of Nightmare Sword: Emerald from different powerful users. It was my oversight."

Olivia wiped the sweat from her forehead. She knew Louis was strong, but she didn't expect that with just one move, Nightmare Sword: Emerald, he mastered over two hundred different battle variations under different circumstances.
