In the quiet private lounge, Shi Feng couldn't wait to open the heavy, ancient-looking Skill Book.
The moment he turned to the first page, the system's notification sounded in his ear.
System: Bind and learn this Skill Book? Reminder: once bound, the Skill Book cannot be traded.
Shi Feng didn't hesitate and clicked Bind directly.
In his previous life, many players hadn't understood how difficult Forbidden Techniques were to learn, so they went ahead and bound them right away, terrified that the Forbidden Technique would grow legs and run off. But that decision left many players who'd obtained high-tier Forbidden Techniques wishing they were dead…
Right now, this was only a second-tier Forbidden Technique. Even if he couldn't learn it now, he could wait until he advanced to a second-tier Class. He wouldn't waste this precious Forbidden Technique.
Only after binding did the contents of the book appear.
Shi Feng began reading through it word by word, sentence by sentence.
Inside the Skill Book, aside from various illustrations and written descriptions, there were also virtual images showing how to use Flash Burst, allowing players to quickly master the techniques involved.
Forbidden Techniques in the Divine Realm were like magical tomes for spell-casting Classes — extremely precise and rigorous.
When spell-casters used magic, they paid close attention to incantations and hand gestures, especially the writing of divine script. Only by achieving a certain completion rate could one unleash tremendous power.
Forbidden Techniques were the same. They demanded extreme precision and fluidity in footwork, body movement, strikes, and every other action. The slightest error could render a Forbidden Technique unusable — it required even more delicate control than casting magic. Every single movement had to be thoroughly understood.
Before he knew it, over an hour had passed, and Shi Feng had only made it halfway through. An ordinary person would have finished the entire book and started learning the skill by now, but Shi Feng was in no rush. He continued turning pages one by one, reading slowly.
After more than two hours had passed, the more Shi Feng read, the more alarmed he became. His brows knitted together involuntarily.
"The skill completion rate has to reach 95%, and on top of that, I have to kill Thunder King Beasts to obtain a hundred Thunder Crystals to absorb into my body. That's one hell of a joke." Shi Feng stared deeply at the Flash Burst Skill Book on the table, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
He had long known that second-tier Forbidden Techniques weren't something a first-tier Class could learn easily, but he hadn't expected the difficulty to be this extreme.
Forbidden Techniques were not something Shi Feng had never studied before.
First-tier Forbidden Techniques generally required a completion rate of 90%. For ordinary players, that alone was impossible to achieve. Even experts needed prolonged, grueling practice — to say nothing of the other conditions.
Second-tier Forbidden Techniques typically required a completion rate of 93%.
Third-tier Forbidden Techniques demanded 95%.
And Flash Burst required a completion rate of 95% — already comparable to the requirements of a third-tier Forbidden Technique.
But that wasn't even the hardest part.
What truly left one speechless was the requirement to kill Thunder King Beasts and obtain a hundred Thunder Crystals.
Shi Feng was quite familiar with Thunder King Beasts. Their habitat wasn't far from a level-50, hundred-player raid Dungeon. Their pelts were extremely valuable as rare materials for crafting lightning-resistance equipment, and their meat was absolutely exquisite — once prepared into a delicacy, no one who tasted even a single bite could resist that heavenly flavor.
A single piece of Thunder King Beast meat on the open market was worth over three gold coins.
So in his previous life, many players had farmed Thunder King Beasts to make money.
