By dispersing domineering energy in the form of particles, and transmitting the perception of the surrounding environment and the actions of enemies through the collisions between the particles.
The fifth move of the Eighteen Overlord Styles: Overbearing Suppression!
The powerful micro-particles of energy dispersed from the opponent are gathered around them, suppressing or inhibiting their movements. Those with weaker bodies can be pinned to the ground, unable to move, and unable to even lift their heads.
Combined with a sharp gaze, a cold expression, and the murderous aura honed through countless battles, it can instill an invincible fear in enemies and simultaneously intimidate large numbers of them. The effect is even better if one can carry an enemy's head in their hand.
The sixth move of the Eighteen Styles of the Overlord: Blade Storm!
The scattered particles of powerful energy are condensed remotely into invisible, tiny sword blades, which then attack opponents within range like a storm.
The seventh move of the Eighteen Forms of the Overlord: Break the cauldrons and sink the boats!
This is a desperate fighting style when facing a powerful enemy. It involves pouring most of one's domineering energy into the weapon and piercing through the enemy's highly defensive body. Then, multiple sword energies are sprayed out from the weapon inside the enemy's body to attack the enemy's vitals from the inside.
The Eighth Move of the Overlord's Eighteen Styles: Destroy the City!
By gathering and unleashing his domineering aura, he condenses it into an enormous and thick sword aura, capable of destroying an entire city in a single strike and severing every inch of the enemy's flesh! Only by training his domineering aura to its ultimate level can he unleash the true power of this move.
In fact, Xiang Yu cannot currently achieve the effect described in the skill description; he only has the form. He will only be able to do so after he breaks through to the Earth Realm of Overlord.
The ninth move of the Eighteen Forms of the Overlord: Overlord's Moon-Shaving Step!
By unleashing the power of both legs to the extreme, a straight-line teleportation effect can be achieved, and it is even possible to fly by stepping on the air. Once mastered, it is stronger than the Shave and Moon Walk in the Six Styles!
The skill recording has ended. Currently, only the first nine moves of the Eighteen Overlord Styles are available. The remaining nine moves will have to be explored gradually after Xiang Yu's domineering aura reaches a higher level.
However, these nine unique skills are enough for Xiang Zhuang and his men. It's just unknown how much it will cost to manufacture Xiang Yu's card.
"Five hundred, five hundred, five hundred..." Hao Jiu muttered to himself. He suddenly regretted not adding more skills. What if the price was based on the number or strength of the skills? They could have just trained the skills themselves.
"My current combat strength is above Bruno's, so five hundred is unlikely." Xiang Yu's words shattered Hao Jiu's dream.
"If we calculate it that way, the Overlord shouldn't even reach Zoro's fighting power, so the price should be less than 5,000?" Hao Jiu felt that 5,000 per piece was barely acceptable.
Xiang Yu's lips twitched violently. "Didn't you say that creating a card consumes ten times the energy of exchanging a card? So it should be less than 50,000."
"Fifty thousand?" Hao Jiu grinned. That's a bit expensive. If it really costs fifty thousand, how many cards can you buy?
Just then, the design of the card module was completed, and the price of Xiang Yu's card was also revealed: 10,000 energy points!
Hao Jiu and Xiang Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So, does that mean five current Xiang Yus would be equivalent to Zoro's true strength?
Nonsense! Even if Bruno fully developed his Door-Door Fruit abilities, he would be enough to rival Zoro!
Therefore, both Xiang Yu and Bruno were underestimated. This valuation system module seems a bit unintelligent, that must be it!
However, Xiang Yu's card costs 10,000 instead of 50,000, which is really a steal!
Chapter 342 Experiment
Each Xiang Yu card in the Overbearing Mystic Realm costs 10,000 energy points. How many cards should be made?
One hundred tickets and a million dollars is gone! No way, absolutely not!
While assembling a hundred-strong elite Xiang Yu card army is tempting, the cost is simply too high.
Hao Jiu decisively rejected this crazy idea. The key point is that Xiang Yu can be re-recorded at any time in the future. Although the re-recorded Xiang Yu will not be the same Xiang Yu at this stage, there are advantages to having high strength.
Although Xiang Yu is strong now, with some effort, Xiang Zhuang, Ji Bu, and others might be able to break through to the Xuan Realm of domineering aura, and they can learn the Six Styles on their own.
When their strength catches up with Xiang Yu's current level, using Xiang Yu cards from that time will be ineffective.
"Let's buy ten tickets first!" Hao Jiu gritted her teeth and decided to round it up.
"Xiang Zhuang, Ji Bu, Zhongli Mei, Ji Xin, Han Xin, Xiang Guan, Xiang Han, Liu Yan, and two more as spares, that's fine," Xiang Yu nodded.
Hao Jiu's lips twitched violently. So many people actually needed Xiang Yu's cards? But...
"Hey, Overlord, it's one thing to give the Shadow System to those who participated in the Battle of Yanmen as a reward, but they can't just take these cards for free." Hao Jiu knew it was a case of giving money from one hand to the other, but he still felt more comfortable this way.
Xiang Yu thought for a moment, "Okay, let them decide for themselves whether to use my cards. If they can cultivate to the point of unleashing their domineering aura, that would be even better. But God of Wine shouldn't set the price too high, it wouldn't be nice if they wanted to buy them but couldn't afford them."
"Of course, I know exactly how many energy points they have right now. I guarantee they can afford it within a year. If they're in a hurry, they can go to the sixth plane and stay for a month. The cost price is 20,000 energy points. I'm fair and square. If they make a contribution, they can get a discount!" Hao Jiu raised his eyebrows.
"As long as the God of Wine is happy." Xiang Yu also knew the rules for the Shadow System to gain energy. Saving up for a year in the main plane would indeed be enough to buy this card, and going to the sixth plane would only take a little over a month.
"Then I'll put the card up in the system shop right now, and then have Xiang Zhuang come over tomorrow to record another card. I want to enrich the items in the system shop, and at the same time do an experiment to see what the effect would be if a civil official or a woman used Xiang Zhuang's card. If the effect is good, I'll give one of your cards to Yu Ji for self-defense."
Hao Jiu felt that the effect probably wouldn't be very good, but how would he know the specifics if he didn't try?
"Alright." Xiang Yu was also a little curious. Xiang Zhuang should now be at the Emperor Realm with his domineering aura protecting him. He wondered how much his cards were worth. If they were male cards that women could also use, leaving one of his cards for Yu Ji to use for self-defense was indeed a good idea.
Soon, Xiang Yu cards were available in the shops of Xiang Zhuang, Ji Bu, Zhongli Mei, and others. Anyone who purchased them could immediately possess some of the abilities of the Overlord Xiang Yu.
Apart from Xiang Sheng, all the generals were in an uproar. Those who didn't have a shadow system wanted one, and those who did were preparing to go to the sixth plane to accumulate energy.
Xiang Yu saw that this wouldn't work; everyone was thinking of taking shortcuts and no one was willing to put in the effort. So he gave them some pointers one by one, suggesting that they try to cultivate to the Profound Realm first, or master the Six Styles, especially the Moon Step.
After all, the system shop will sell other good things like divine weapons in the future, and energy points are still very precious. Relying too much on the sixth plane to earn energy will only make you age faster.
The generals thought it made sense. If Xiang Yu could successfully cultivate it, there was no reason why they couldn't. They had to give it a try, and the divine weapon was just as attractive to them as military generals.
Actually, Xiang Sheng was also tempted after learning about the Xiang Yu card, but Hao Jiu had already warned him that Zoro's card had to be used continuously, so he could only work hard to learn the Six Powers and make up for his shortcomings.
The next day, Xiang Zhuang successfully recorded his own card. He was very excited to be the second person to record a card. However, when the card price was announced, he was disappointed to find that he only had 100 energy points!
However, Hao Jiu was not too surprised by this. The difficulty of cultivating the domineering aura is more than a hundred times that of the domineering aura protection. 100 points is already considered good.
Moreover, Hao Jiu only recorded one skill for Xiang Zhuang in order to conduct the experiment, which was explosive sprint.
Another day passed, and the recording was still for Xiang Zhuang. This time, several more skills were designed for Xiang Zhuang, and the domineering protective aura was also added.
Xiang Zhuang is really looking forward to this time. It must be because he had too few skills last time, so he was underestimated. And the card price is still 100 points!
Therefore, the price of a card has nothing to do with the number of skills it contains, but only with the actor's combat power. Referring to the case of Bruno's card, having great potential but failing to convert it into combat power will not increase the card's value.
Hao Jiu's experiment was aimed at finding loopholes in the card module and creating high-potential, low-cost cards.
For example, next time when Xiang Yu advances to the Earth Realm, another version of the Xiang Yu card can be recorded. However, if Hao Jiu develops a very strong Earth Realm move before recording, he should not tell Xiang Yu first. He should tell Xiang Yu after the recording is completed and then pass on the move to the user of the Xiang Yu card by word of mouth. This would be equivalent to the move developed by the card user himself.
In this way, card users can have great strength while saving a lot of energy points, which is perfect!
Xiang Zhuang left, and he was a little sad. At the same time, he realized the gap between himself and Xiang Yu. His previously arrogant heart calmed down, and he worked even harder to cultivate his domineering aura. He planned to try it out for two years, and if it didn't work, he would buy Xiang Yu's card.
Hao Jiu didn't create any Xiang Zhuang cards during the first recording, but during the second recording, he spent 1,000 energy to create ten cards.
"Your Majesty wants me to use the Xiang Zhuang card?" Xu Fu pointed at herself and said in disbelief. She had expected Xiang Yu to come to her, but she didn't expect it to be for this reason.
“Well, it’s just you and Yu Ji as the female host. I need you to tell me how you feel after using it,” Xiang Yu said directly, with Kuai Che and Shen Tu Jia following behind him.
"Let me give it a try. If I can become a master through this, it will fulfill my dream," Yu Ji said first.
Xu Fu did some quick calculations and smiled, "Alright then, for my sister's sake, I'll offer myself this once. Since I'm being used as an experiment, could the price be lowered to the minimum?"
"Alright." Xiang Yu's lips twitched violently. "God of Wine!"
"Okay, it's already adjusted to 0.01 energy. I'm selling it at a higher price because I want Xu Fu to think it's good, right?" Hao Jiu remained hidden inside Xiang Yu's body.
Xu Fu saw that the price in the system shop had changed, and without saying a word, he used the Xiang Zhuang card, and then his aura suddenly changed.
Hao Jiu, Xiang Yu, and the others stared intently at Xu Fu, who seemed to have a much stronger reaction than Kuai Che after using it.
"This humble general, Xiang Zhuang, pays his respects to Your Majesty!" Xu Fu said solemnly, clasping his hands in a gruff voice.
Everyone was dumbfounded, "It can't have changed that much..."
Chapter 343 Side Effects
Before starting the experiment, Hao Jiu and Xiang Yu discussed what would happen if a woman used a man's card, and thought that at most she would become a tomboy or a tough woman.
But what's with Xu Fu saying "This humble general Xiang Zhuang greets Your Majesty"?
"She's faking it. Let her fight Kuai Che and see." Before they went to find Xu Fu, Hao Jiu and Xiang Yu had already let Kuai Che, a civil official who had never killed anyone, use Xiang Zhuang's card. In addition, Shen Tu Jia also obtained the Shadow System and Xiang Zhuang's card.
"Familiarize yourself with the skills, then fight Kuai Che. You can attack anything except his head." After saying that, Xiang Yu threw a long halberd to Xu Fu. This weapon was quite heavy, and even a gentle girl would have trouble lifting it.
Xu Fu easily took the weapon and wielded it a few times. "My strength has surpassed that of an ordinary man, so using this weapon is no problem. Let's start fighting."
"Be careful, little sister." Yu Ji wanted to tell Kuai Che to be more lenient with Xu Fu, but then she felt it was unnecessary. Kuai Che, a grown man, shouldn't be so violent towards a woman.
"Okay." Xu Fu nodded in response and took the lead in walking to the open space next to him.
Kuai Che followed, and the two stopped and clasped their hands in a fist salute to each other.
"Lord Kuai, please go easy on me." Xu Fu raised an eyebrow.
"Lady Xu, I apologize." Kuai Che had recently acquired powerful martial arts skills and was brimming with confidence when...
Clang clang clang...
Puff puff puff...
"Ouch, stop, stop hitting me..." Kuai Che admitted defeat, abandoning all dignity as a man. When had a civil official ever experienced this before?
The key point is that he barely managed to hit Xu Fu, and was almost constantly being beaten and attacked by Xu Fu. He even got a hole poked in his body, which hurt a lot!
However, Kuai Che was quite happy to be chosen by Xiang Yu as a test subject and to obtain the Shadow System as a result, at least he, a scholar, now had the power to protect himself.
Besides, not being able to beat Xu Fu isn't a big deal. At worst, he can just say he couldn't bear to lay a hand on a woman and went too far.
Xu Fu sheathed his halberd and smiled smugly, "Lord Kuai, you flatter me!"
"Thank you for showing mercy, Miss Xu." Kuai Che had to admit that Xu Fu was indeed quite capable, his plans were flawless, and he hadn't even been able to unleash his full potential.
Xiang Yu tossed half a healing pill to Kuai Che and said, "The two of you attack Shen Tu Jia together, go all out, don't hold back."
"Yes!" the two replied in unison.
“Shen Tu Jia, those two can attack your head, but you cannot, do you understand?” Xiang Yu said solemnly.
"This subordinate understands!" Shen Tu Jia thought to himself that he dared not go to war with these two people. One was a high-ranking official in the court, and the other was the Empress's sister, who might even become an imperial concubine in the future. Therefore, he would only use 30% of his strength and treat them as sparring partners.
Then.
Kuai Che was full of momentum, truly treating Xiang Yu's words as a sacred decree, and launched a full-scale attack on Shen Tu Jia. He and Xu Fu cooperated quite well, and Shen Tu Jia gradually became enraged.
Clang clang clang...
Puff puff puff...
