Moreover, in the game, because ""Fengwu Jiutian"" allows your character to fall from great heights without dying, if you want to obtain secret manuals like the ""Jiuyang Zhenjing"" hidden in Kunlun Mountain, or enter the ""Ten Deadly Passes"" where the ""Supreme Grandmaster"" Donglai is in seclusion, mastering ""Fengwu Jiutian"" is undoubtedly the best way;

The ""Phantom Demon Body Technique"" of the so-called ""King of Assassins,"" the ""Evil King"" Stephen Stone, not only enhances stealth effects and is the lightest of all lightness skills, but also allows for instant changes in direction, reducing the impact of inertia. The angle of direction change depends on the skill level. At max level, you can even instantly advance or retreat, completely free from inertia. This truly matches the characteristic of this lightness skill: ""If one strike fails, flee a thousand miles."" It is the best lightness skill for assassination, ambush, and exploration;

The ""Tianmei Condensing Yin"" of Lily from ""Renyao"" greatly increases instant speed by 30% per level at the cost of much higher energy consumption. It is the most explosive and fastest lightness skill in a short period. It is the best lightness skill for surprise attacks;

The ""Fragrant Body Technique"" of the ""Thief Lord"" Charles Lawson has the lowest energy consumption—within the same time, it uses less than half the internal energy of the other five top lightness skills, making it the best technique for long-distance pursuits;

As for the ""Lingbo Weibu"" of the Xiaoyao Sect, it is the lightness skill with the highest evasion, making it the best for prolonged combat.

It can be said that each of these lightness skills has its own strengths, and depending on the situation, none is superior or inferior.

Back when James Bolton had already turned ""Wulin Three Kingdoms"" into a single-player game and was playing with the plan to master all ultimate skills, these six lightness skills were, of course, all on his list.

But what troubled him was that the other lightness skills were fine—at least after learning them, they wouldn't affect learning other martial arts. Only the ""Sunflower Manual""'s ""Sunflower Body Technique,"" because of the famous phrase ""To practice divine skills, one must first castrate oneself,"" meant that after learning it, due to the loss of a certain part and the resulting missing meridians, many martial arts could no longer be learned or used.

So even though the ""Sunflower Manual"" is considered a top-tier secret manual in the entire game, and it requires the fewest potential points among all top-tier manuals, it is still unpopular.

After all, besides the above reasons and the extremely high difficulty of obtaining it, it also requires the character to self-castrate. Even though this is just in the game, it's still not something people like to talk about, right?

The reason James Bolton chose to put the ""Sunflower Manual"" into the newbie gift box was precisely to use the gift box's feature of ignoring requirements, so that when learning this manual, made famous by Dongfang Bubai, he wouldn't have to resort to the self-mutilation method that men find hardest to accept.

With a mix of anticipation, urgency, and a bit of fear of disappointment, James Bolton pondered for a long time before finally taking a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and muttered two words through clenched teeth: ""Open!""

As the newbie gift box turned into a flash of golden light and disappeared, a line of text appeared in James Bolton's mind:

Congratulations, player James Bolton, for opening the newbie gift box and obtaining the newbie gift ""Sunflower Manual,"" and mastering the lightness skill ""Sunflower Body Technique.""

Then the text faded, and an interface popped up—it was the familiar ""Wulin Three Kingdoms"" skill interface for James Bolton.

Martial Arts Skills:

Sunflower Body Technique: Level 0, upgrade requirement 500 potential, 0/500; Effect: None;

Secondary Profession Skills:

Physician Skills: Diagnosis (Level 10), Pharmacology (Level 10), Acupuncture (Level 10), Massage (Level 10)……

Chef Skills: Knife Skills (Level 10), Fire Control (Level 10), Ingredient Identification (Level 10)……

Tamer Skills: Taming (Level 10), Veterinary Medicine (Level 10)……

……

After looking over the interfaces twice and pinching himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming, James Bolton couldn't help but giggle foolishly.

""The newbie gift box contains the Sunflower Manual, physician, chef, gardener... all secondary professions are maxed out... That's right, this is the character I modified, it can't be wrong. So I'm really in the game! I'm about to become a great hero! Leaping over rooftops, seeking vengeance, stealing beauties... what a dream!""

By now, James Bolton was basically certain that he had completely merged with the character he had modified in ""Wulin Three Kingdoms.""

As for why the experience bar and attribute bar weren't exactly the same as his modifications, James Bolton only had to think a little to figure out most of it.

The attribute and experience bars differ from his modifications probably because the current attributes in the character panel are a true reflection of his current physical stats after being digitized. In other words, in terms of level, James Bolton isn't even at level zero yet. If James Bolton guessed correctly, when he changes his experience from -1578/500 to 0/500 and officially becomes a level zero newbie, his five basic attributes and two intrinsic attributes will reach the initial max value of ten points he set!

From that moment on, he will truly be on the path to becoming the martial arts master he dreamed of.

""Every man has a martial arts dream""—James Bolton can't remember who said this, but he has always thought this saying is just so damn true. At least, when it comes to himself, it's absolutely spot on.
