Those who could reach seventy percent were all significant figures, household names at that.
As for him, with the breakthrough of his limits, it should be around one hundred and thirty percent!
To put it more directly, even if he recovered to peak seventy percent, if the opponent was not a peak eighty percent master, Li Chonglou would still have a chance to fight.
If it were just an early eighty percent master, they probably wouldn't be his opponent!
The real improvement brought by latent potential was first to his own physique.
Li Chonglou believed that as long as he could remove the influence of the curse, his body alone would be invincible below eighty percent.
Next came the bonuses from various combat techniques.
Secret techniques were also a type of combat technique, and another function of latent potential was that it could allow him to exert stronger power from the same combat technique than others!
However, regarding the concept of latent potential, which was to resonate with heaven and earth, or even integrate it into one's own body, Li Chonglou still had no clue.
Then came the combat techniques.
This point was actually about secret techniques.
Most masters knew most conventional combat techniques, such as the Five Elements Fist, Tai Chi Fist, etc. Masters of the Hua Xia realm knew them to some extent. Even if they weren't as monstrous as Li Chonglou, they knew their weaknesses and flaws.
Therefore, the real trump cards in combat depended on the concentration and power of internal energy, as well as the power of secret techniques.
If ordinary combat techniques had a power of one hundred percent, then secret techniques could exert a power of over one hundred percent. Only such combat techniques could be called secret techniques.
In fact, Li Chonglou could already create new secret techniques based on his own experience. He had even tried in that sea of consciousness.
In theory, his number of secret techniques could already exceed three digits.
But if he had to rank them, after a little sorting, Li Chonglou found that only ten moves could be considered his trump cards.
The first among them was the move he learned from Wutong.
After sorting, Li Chonglou gave it a new name, Xiangdu.
Well, his naming ability was still stable, but compared to Wutong's version, Xiangdu also had new changes.
Originally, although Wutong's technique was based on human olfaction, if someone was hit, they might be able to prevent it next time by closing their sense of smell.
In that case, this move would be completely countered.
But after Li Chonglou's improvement, this move no longer controlled the opponent through olfaction, but through the soul!
Simply put, the original Xiangdu created a strange fragrance through the combination of acupoints, which could directly paralyze the soul and achieve control.
Although the time was very short, so short that it might not even last one second, the effect was extraordinary, and it could directly achieve a certain degree of being undefendable!
After all, when you sensed the same strange fragrance, you were already under its influence.
And after Li Chonglou's improvement, he changed from creating strange fragrances to outputting specific frequencies.
This frequency was not transmitted through hearing, but directly penetrated human consciousness. Unless there was a special cultivation method to protect one's sea of consciousness, Xiangdu's influence could not be prevented!
However, the time limit had not improved much, at most it increased the control time by one second.
But in high-level duels, that was enough.
Next were secret techniques also improved from those of aristocratic families.
Including the "Xiangxiang" from the Wu family, the "Maichong" from the Li family, the "Liehuo Fist" from the Chen family, etc., a total of nine moves were his current most powerful secret techniques.
As for the names, Li Chonglou had also given up directly. He just added the character "Ao" to them, like Wu family's "Xiangxiang."
This was a secret technique that transformed internal energy into anomalies for self-attack. Li Chonglou took only the first character and added "Ao," thus becoming "Xiang'ao."
Then there were "Maiao," "Lie'ao," and so on.
As for their destructive power, they could basically kill enemies of higher levels.
Further down were some forbidden arts rumored in the martial arts world.
There were also some lost secret arts, like "Yingbu."
There was also Tai Chi, which Li Chonglou himself had strengthened and created. However, this move was only useful against exotic beasts or when facing group attacks; it was generally not needed.
However, this sorting also made Li Chonglou realize a serious problem.
He seemed to have no techniques that used weapons!
In fact, he knew that by the fifth level and above, one generally had to rely on weapons to extend their abilities. A good weapon could increase power by ten to fifty percent!
For some specialized masters, the combat power with or without a weapon could even differ by a factor of two!
It was just that his circle had never really reached that level. Many of the experts he encountered before were not as strong as him in terms of realm, and he had never truly fought against stronger ones.
This was why, until now, he didn't even have a life-bound weapon.
And in the General Bureau, since they were all insiders, there was no need for such things. This time, the Thunder Magnetic Island was also due to the rules; bringing weapons was not as effective as fighting bare-handed.
"It seems it's time to find a suitable weapon."
The items he obtained in the underground world, including that black greatsword, were all given to Yue Hai and the others, to give them a better chance of self-preservation.
As a result, he didn't even have a handy weapon now.
However, this matter couldn't be rushed. As for the way, there was no better place than the treasure land of the underground world.
With a bit of luck, a top-grade weapon might be obtained, and it would be nurtured by the power of the rules of the underground world, making it even harder and sharper than any material in existence!
And it would be more suitable for cultivators to use.
Thinking of this, Li Chonglou suddenly remembered Old Lin and the others.
In the forbidden area of the Thunder Magnetic Island, he had promised them that after coming out, he would first find a way to enter the underground world again to restore their soul power.
"I hope the promotion mission time can be pushed back a bit, preferably with a week's buffer."
Li Chonglou sighed. If not, he would have to delay it with Old Lin.
However, if that were the case, it would also cause him trouble.
Elder An's soul was also damaged. Although he could still perform soul fusion, coupled with Li Chonglou's own soul damage, the strength he could exert this time would probably not even reach the sixth level.
In this way, undertaking a promotion task, which sounded anything but simple, would have its risks skyrocket.
"No, I need to discuss this with Wu Di and the two of them."
Li Chonglou thought for a moment, then got up, walked out of the dormitory, and went to Wu Di's dormitory to knock.
However, there was no response from inside.
Li Chonglou could only wait by the door.
On the other side, Wu Di and the other person were at Fan Li's dormitory.
All four of Fan Li were there. Upon hearing that the third person to be brought was Li Chonglou, a hint of unnaturalness appeared on the faces of all four.
Such a major event had naturally reached the ears of the four.
Last time, they had almost gone to war with the Commoner's Association, and this time, it had enraged the leadership of the General Bureau. The name Li Chonglou had been on everyone's lips recently.
Everyone knew, and no one was ignorant!
