Chapter 58: All three parts are complete!

The secret art "Eight Desolations Cinder Dragon (Perfected)" also consumed 1170 points; first it was raised to the second stage of perfection, then promoted to the third stage!

With this, the Cinder Dragon manifestation reached six dragons, and the range of the Eight Desolations Shaking Prison also reached sixty meters!

At this point, 7922 points remained for adding.

"Abundant! Simply abundant!"

Zhang Fan felt delighted in his heart.

Such a massive amount of attribute points was enough to let him reach the peak of perfection at the third stage of limit-breaking!

"Upgrade! Upgrade everything!"

His will moved continuously!

"Dragon-Elephant Source Dao Art (Limit-Breaking Third Stage Entry)" → Perfected! Consumed 540 points!

"Uninterrupted Martial-Collapsing Hammer (Entry)" → Perfected! Consumed 540 points!

"Shenxiao Shocking Thunder Step (Entry)" → Perfected! Consumed 540 points!

Secret Art Third Stage → Perfected! Consumed 540 points!

A total of 2160 attribute points were consumed!

A vast and majestic power surged within his body; all cultivation techniques, martial arts, and secret arts reached the realm of perfection for their current level, flawless and operating exactly as he willed!

Zhang Fan's strength underwent an earth-shattering change!

At this moment, standing at the third stage of limit-breaking, he was already at the absolute ceiling! To call him invincible among his peers would be an understatement!

After the joy, Zhang Fan calmed down.

"The battle at Qiandao Lake exposed a huge shortcoming of mine... stamina."

Recalling the latter part of the battle, he had already consumed quite a bit to kill a peak King-level entity, and then immediately had to control four Cinder Dragons to clear out the beast horde. The rapid consumption of blood energy and the feeling of exhaustion left him with lingering fears.

If not for the firepower support from Wang Qiang and the others, relying on himself alone, he feared many ferocious beasts would have truly escaped.

Those were all attribute points! He could not let them get away.

Furthermore, if a powerful King-level Ferocious Beast had appeared while he was exhausted, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"The characteristic of my 'Dragon-Elephant Source Dao Art' lies in its strong instantaneous burst, and combined with the Collapsing Martial Hammer Technique, the lethality is unparalleled. However, in terms of endurance, especially in large-scale clearing battles, it appears to lack stamina."

Zhang Fan currently had great power, but he could not hold out for a long time.

This problem had to be solved.

Otherwise, when facing broader battlefields and larger waves of ferocious beasts in the future, this point would become his fatal weakness.

"I need a main cultivation technique that excels in endurance and can significantly increase stamina and blood energy recovery speed."

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan raised his hand and tapped the holographic projection of his Alliance watch on his wrist.

The light flickered, and the interface of the Martial Artists Alliance Mall unfolded.

His authority level had long since increased to a higher level along with his strength and contributions.

A dazzling list of cultivation techniques appeared before his eyes.

Zhang Fan directly filtered the conditions: Main cultivation technique, focusing on stamina, blood energy recovery, and long-term combat.

Instantly, the list was simplified significantly.

His gaze quickly swept over the introductions of cultivation techniques that sounded extraordinary just from their names.

"Endless Cycle Sutra", "Ten Thousand Flows Return to Source Art", "Black Tortoise Sea-Suppressing Art", "Universe Star Origin Body"...

Zhang Fan had just solved the great disaster at Qiandao Lake, so he should not be lacking in contribution points. Therefore, Zhang Fan directly excluded the low-level ones and looked straight at those with high contribution costs.

Finally, Zhang Fan's gaze landed on the "Ten Thousand Flows Return to Source Art".

Its introduction was simple, yet it exuded an unquestionable dominance:

"Ten Thousand Flows Return to Source, energy like water, endless and cyclical, continuous and unbroken. Cultivation is extremely difficult; those without great perseverance and great talent cannot enter the door. However, once the technique is mastered, blood energy will be like a great river, flowing back and forth, and stamina will be the crown of the same tier."

The exchange price that followed made Zhang Fan's pupils shrink slightly.

40,000 contribution points!

This number was almost equivalent to the "base void-piercing cannon" he had exchanged for previously, which was enough to blast a King-level Ferocious Beast to death! This was enough to show the preciousness and power of this cultivation technique.

"This is the one." Zhang Fan was tempted.

What he lacked was precisely this ability of a "lasting true man". He did not want to experience the embarrassment of exhaustion in the later stages of the Qiandao Lake battle a second time.

Next, he opened the weapon list.

The previous mystic heavy mountain-collapsing hammer had been completely destroyed when he blasted the Sea-Covering Flood Dragon. He needed a new heavy hammer that could fully withstand his current power.

Filter conditions: Heavy weapon, hammer type, high grade.

The list refreshed.

An image of a giant hammer with a dark gold body and a faint dragon-shaped phantom coiling around the hammerhead appeared before his eyes.

[mountain-suppressing dragon skeleton hammer]

[Description: Forged using the complete spine of the powerful ferocious beast "Mountain-Moving Dragon" as the main material, mixed with Star Core Mystic Iron and Void Essence Gold. It is heavier than a mountain, indestructible, and cannot be wielded by anyone without natural divine strength.]

[Exchange Requirement: Contribution Points 40,000]

Another 40,000 points!

But a light of surprise and joy erupted in Zhang Fan's eyes.

"Good hammer!"

Its terrifying weight was exactly suited for his currently surging Dragon Elephant Power!

"Adding both together, 80,000 points... I hope the contribution value this time will be generous." Zhang Fan anticipated in his heart.

The battle of Qiandao Lake, exterminating one King-level, over thirty Lord-level, over three thousand ferocious beasts of various grades, rescuing over ten thousand civilians... This achievement, perhaps it could be worth 80,000?

"Beep beep beep—"

At this moment, the dedicated Alliance communicator on his wrist emitted a crisp notification sound.

Zhang Fan tapped it open.

[Contribution points have been issued. Evaluation result: You successfully exterminated the King-level nest at Qiandao Lake, killed the King-level Ferocious Beast "Sea-Covering Flood Dragon", thirty-one Lord-level Ferocious Beasts, over 3,200 ferocious beasts of various grades, rescued 11,327 trapped civilians, and opened up an important waterway in the eastern part of Huahai City. The achievement is outstanding. According to the resolution of the Alliance Headquarters, the reward is 90,000 contribution points.]

[Your current total contribution points are: 100,000 points.]

"Ninety thousand?!"

Zhang Fan's eyes lit up, and his mood instantly became excited.

Added to the 10,000 remaining from before, it was exactly 100,000 points!

"Exchange! 'Ten Thousand Flows Return to Source Art'! 'mountain-suppressing dragon skeleton hammer'!"

He did not hesitate and immediately operated it.

[Exchange successful! Consumed 80,000 contribution points. Remaining contribution points: 20,000 points.]

Almost the second after the information was sent.

The information for the "Ten Thousand Flows Return to Source Art" appeared directly on the watch.

Shortly after, Alliance staff also used a spatial belt to deliver the new hammer, the mountain-suppressing dragon skeleton hammer.

"So heavy!"

The heavy hammer before him, even with Zhang Fan's current terrifying strength at the third stage of limit-breaking and the perfected Dragon-Elephant Source Dao Art, caused his arm to sink slightly the moment he gripped the hammer handle!

The weight of this "mountain-suppressing dragon skeleton hammer" far exceeded the previous mystic heavy mountain-collapsing hammer!

The hammer body was cold. On the dark gold hammer body, one could faintly see fine dragon scale patterns and star light spots. A heavy, vast, and suppressing aura naturally emanated from it.

Zhang Fan tried to swing it lightly once.

"Whoosh—"

The hammer cut through the air, bringing out a low sound of breaking air.

He did not doubt at all that if this hammer went down, even if it just grazed, an ordinary limit-breaking level martial artist's head would explode like a watermelon!

"Good weapon!" Zhang Fan could not put it down.

Weapon and cultivation technique were both in place; next was to upgrade!

He sat down cross-legged and first put the newly acquired mountain-suppressing dragon skeleton hammer back into his belt.

Then, his consciousness sank into his mind.

"Upgrade, 'Ten Thousand Flows Return to Source Art'!"

His will locked onto the newly appeared cultivation technique column.
