Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 1012 - 618: Transferring Qi

Yellow Turban Warriors departed, summoning the generals to come forward.

Xu Yang also took this opportunity to check the specific requirements of "Bullying the Weak."

The Data Law of this world enhanced the disparity between corresponding ranks, making it extremely difficult to kill enemies beyond one’s tier.

Taking the First Order and Second Order as examples, ignoring various skills and some miscellaneous things, just talking about attributes, the extreme value for First Order is one hundred, while for Second Order it is two hundred. The gap does not seem large, but it is actually the difference between heaven and earth.

This is easy to understand; a leap from one point of physical strength to ten points is roughly the distance between a half-grown child and an adult martial artist, but from one hundred points of physical strength to one hundred and ten points could indicate the difference between an ordinary martial artist and an extraordinary practitioner.

The same attributes with the same bonuses, the larger the base value, the bigger the actual gap. Adding one to one and adding one to one hundred are both increases of one point in attributes, but the effects are completely different, not to mention the amplification from basic skills and other aspects.

And this is just from First Order to Second Order; Third Order is even more exaggerated because the difference in attributes between ranks doubles; one hundred for First Order, two hundred for Second Order, and then it jumps to four hundred for Third Order, and eight hundred for Fourth Rank, so on until the Ninth Order Immortal God Level.

Therefore, the Tower of Heaven and the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss prohibit Lords from attacking targets two tiers below themselves; at most, they can only oppress those one tier below.

Even so, many people still seek to exploit loopholes. After all, the risk factor is too high when contenders of the same tier fight. Even if they win, it is often a pyrrhic victory, not worth the cost. It’s better to bully the weak, relying on the tier advantage to oppress the weaker ones. Although the profit is not high, it accumulates over time, providing a safe and secure approach.

Especially for those combat-powerful Lords who farm solo, they absolutely cannot farm solo against same-tier Lords, but they can easily annihilate Low-Order Lord territories, with just a few elite troops at their beck and call.

This could undoubtedly inflict devastating damage on the growth environment of Low-Order Lords, so both the Tower of Heaven and the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss implemented strict restrictions. One can bully the weak, but they must also bear corresponding risks.

Xu Yang now tried it out.

"Confirm use of the Conquest Order (Designated) to attack the target?"

"Because the target you have designated is below your rank, this attack will consume ten times the Conquest Orders."

"Because the target of your attack is below your rank, you cannot bring any Same-tier Heroes to battle, and the commander’s troops occupied by Low-level Heroes and Same-tier troops will be increased tenfold, and you cannot form an army alliance in any form."

"Because the target of your attack is below your rank and is also a Tower of Heaven Lord like you, this attack is considered bullying and treacherous. Thus, your commander’s troops and all rewards from victory will be reduced by 75%."

"Because the target of your attack is below your rank, you cannot use any items or skills during this attack, you will seal the enemy’s access to the Tower of Heaven/Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, and you will not obtain any safe time after victory; any existing safe time will also be terminated immediately."

"Because of your bullying and treacherous behavior, after this attack, you must complete ten times the annual Conquest Task, launching one hundred and twenty attacks against Demon Abyss Territory, with at least thirty victories. Failure to do so will force a reduction in the rank of both you and your territory."

"Do you wish to launch the attack?"

Good grief!

Looking at the prompts given by the Tower of Heaven, Xu Yang immediately canceled the attack command.

Is this the Tower of Heaven’s restriction on "Bullying the Weak"?

No wonder so few High-level Lords are willing to bully the weaker ones.

Not only does it require ten times the Conquest Orders, there are also strict limitations on the number of troops commanded, the prohibition of accompanying Same-tier Heroes, and the tenfold increase in the value of Low-level Heroes and Same-tier troops. Finally, depending on the targeted Lord’s faction, there’s a 50% or even 75% reduction in the number of troops commanded and the reward for victory.

After all this, isn’t it more harm than good?

Not to mention the penalty of a tenfold annual task at the end, with the risk factor cranked up to the max.

The most, most, most important thing is that you can’t use any items or skills, nor can you ban the other party’s entry to the Tower of Heaven or the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.

That’s the most deadly point; if they can’t beat you, can’t they still run away from you?

Yes, you are High-level, you are powerful, but if I can’t provoke you, I can always avoid you. At worst, I’ll abandon the well-developed territory to you, and I’ll flee with my entire family. One day I’ll make a comeback, and there will be repercussions.

Mutual destruction, both sides damaged, harming others without benefitting oneself, it’s all more trouble than it’s worth—that’s the risk and cost of a High-level Lord attacking a Low-level Lord. So, unless absolutely necessary, few people would take such an action.

Xu Yang had previously pushed a First-Order Lord of the Demon Abyss to that point, yet no Second Order Lord dared to risk attacking him; for this reason.

The same goes for the Heaven-Connecting Academy. By the time they realized that they needed a Second Order Lord to suppress Xu Yang, his strength was no longer something an ordinary Second Order Lord could capture.

And an unordinary Second Order Lord... well, I’m already unordinary, would you dare to come and push me around?

Lineage, aren’t we all of noble lineage? Why should I, a High Order noble lineage, take a risk to do something for you, a Low Order noble lineage? Are you the only one brought up by a loving mother, have a background, or have support?

First Order is like this, and so is Second Order; with such risks and costs, neither the Heaven-Connecting Academy nor those eying him eagerly would dare to offend lightly.

So, could he rest easy now?

Still, he couldn’t.

After all, better safe than sorry. Who can ensure that those scoundrels won’t be driven to desperation?
