251- Orochi's shocking learning capabilities

So, after Orochi told the system to convert MP into spiritual qi, it took almost 30 thousand units of MP, which when converted to spiritual qi is about 60 thousand units, which was finally enough, as the dantian was once again full of spiritual qi.

[Note: System converts MP into spiritual qi at a conversion rate of 1:2, which means 1 MP= 2 units of spiritual qi, available in the world.

And since, Orochi’s dantian can convert normal/world’s spiritual qi to his own spiritual qi at the rate of 3:1, which means 3 units of the world’s spiritual qi= 1 unit of his own spiritual qi.

Hence, 30 thousand units of MP= 60 thousand units of World’s Spiritual qi= 20 thousand units of Orochi’s own spiritual qi.

Didn't want to start any math lesson, but since I wanted to make it easier for the readers who want everything logical in a fantasy story. There you go. Enjoy reading.]

.

After recovering the lost Spiritual Qi, Orochi got back to his practice.

Swish

Swish

Even though the proficiency bar of the ‘Mountain Cleaving- 3 machete chops’ was increasing by 1%, he was still able to sense that every time it increased, his understanding increased by a small amount as well as he felt much smoother and easier when executing the technique.

After another 10 minutes, when Orochi felt his dantian was about to be emptied again, the system notification finally rang,

‘ding’

‘Proficiency of [Mountain Cleaving- 3 machete chops] has increased.’

‘Current Proficiency- 3% [Entry stage].’

But right now, Orochi was frowning as he felt that the time taken to increase the proficiency is increasing and his spiritual qi reserves are not able to keep up.

Actually, the rate at which he is able to learn the ‘Mountain Cleaving- 3 machete chops’ is quite astounding.

And it must be known that, if it was any other peak Demi-Human stage or high level Demi-Human stage cultivator practicing the same technique, they would require at least 3-4 hours to reach the same level of proficiency as Orochi, not to mention that recovering spiritual qi will waste more time.

But of course, if it was some heavenly genius with an extraordinary understanding of martial arts and fighting techniques, then it is a different matter.

But it took less than half an hour, for Orochi to gain proficiency of 3% in the ‘Mountain Cleaving- 3 machete chops’. So, it is already very fast in Orochi’s case. But he is still not satisfied with it.

Truly, greed is something.

No one is satisfied and happy with what they have.

Orochi pondered for a few seconds and finally came up with the solution.

Since his stats are indirectly helping him in making it easier to learn, then he should focus on increasing them.

And as he has a limited amount of MP and a moderate rate of MP recovery, he will also try to increase them. And for that too, he has to increase his stats.

So, he needs to increase three of his stats which are: Sense stat, Intelligence stat, and the Charm stat.

Sense stat’s hidden ability is responsible for MP recovery rate.

Intelligence stat, if it is increased then it can increase his MP limit as well as increase his brain’s capabilities.

Charm stat works in sync with the Intelligence stat, so it will also make it easier while learning.

With that in mind, Orochi opened the status window.

After having a brief look at the status window, Orochi gave his next command to the system.

“System, add 300 Free stat points to the ‘Sense’ stat and repeat it 10 times with a gap of 10 seconds in between each addition.”

“System, add 160 Free stat points to the ‘Intelligence’ stat and repeat it 10 times with a gap of 15 seconds in between each addition.”

“System, add 10 Free stat points to the ‘Charm’ stat.”

Since there is a limit to how much he can increase the ‘Charm’ stat every day, he decided to add only 10 free stat points for now.

Then Orochi thought, since he is practicing, then it is important to stay at top condition and have less fatigue, so he gave another command to the system,

“System, add 100 Free stat points to the 'Stamina’ stat and repeat it 10 times with a gap of 15 seconds in between each addition.”

After he gave these series of commands to the system, it started to execute them immediately.

‘ding’

‘300 Free stat points have been added to the ‘Sense’ stat.’

‘160 Free stat points have been added to the ‘Intelligence’ stat.’

‘100 Free stat points have been added to the ‘Stamina’ stat.’

‘10 Free stat points have been added to the ‘Charm’ stat.’

Soon, Orochi started to feel some changes in his senses. He felt all his 5 senses- vision, touch, hearing, taste, smell- all improved slightly.

He could also feel that his brain became faster and sharper.

His blood started to warm up and flow rapidly inside his veins, his heart pumped blood throughout his body rigorously.

And just when he was immersed in enjoying this refreshing feeling, suddenly the system notification rang.
