In addition to the increase in strength, Jone felt that while devouring the ape's energy, part of the energy increased his strength in that state, but when that state ended, the energy was lost.
But it had not been his choice to devour the beasts while he was in that state, as soon as the beast died, his right eye wanted to devour it right there.
This doesn't hinder Jone at all in the fight, in fact, it helps. If he is fighting a large group while he has something to devour, his strength will increase continuously, and your Qi won't run out.
The downside is that some of the body's energy that he devoured is lost, but this is worth it to gain that increase in strength.
"This state is not like the state of understanding that did not expend any energy, the energy in my dantian is being consumed while I am in that state."
"Only when I started devouring the beast did my energy stop being used, and instead it was the energy devoured from the ape that was used".
"Well, I can't want too much, it doesn't make sense to gain strength without giving anything in return," Jone said after thinking about the pros and cons of this.
"This is perfect against a large group I can use from the beginning, as long as I can kill one of them, I will have energy to spare and my strength will continue to increase. Wait."
"What if I use the blood destruction technique in this state?" Suddenly, a crazy idea came to his mind.
"Well, I'll test that when I need to," Jone said, laughing slightly at his idea.
After getting his thoughts in order, Jone saw that night was coming and found a large tree to climb.
He liked lying high up in the tree, looking at the sky. When looking at the moons in the sky, Jone remembered Li Yue's face.
"Ah, I forgot about that." Jone sat down while taking out two books from his ring. After leaving the city, he just ran to the mountain, focusing on cultivating and forgetted about the techniques Li Yue gave him.
Lunar Scythe: low-grade earth technique
Jone read the introduction to the technique and quickly began to understand. After a while, he opened his eyes again with a slightly strange expression.
"This is incomplete…"
'This technique was not like other techniques I learned before. That it was simply a way of controlling Qi to form some release, something like creating claws or an energy blade'.
Just like the Traces of the Night Bird technique, the Lunar Scythe uses Qi in a specific way in your body to use the scythe with the best possible efficiency. There are many insights on how to use the scythe to fight based on the Lunar Scythe technique.
Jone saw that this technique was just one part and imagined that the other part would be how to release energy with this technique.
'Tsc, it's incomplete, but it's okay; I didn't really know how to use the scythe correctly. This will help me more than an offensive technique,' Jone thinks after seeing the good side of it.
"Wait, even though this technique is just a part, it is already a low-grade earth-rank technique, and it was given to me easily."
"This is probably from her sect, how could she give this to someone so easily?"
Jone couldn't figure out why at the moment, so he picked up the other book and began to understand the technique.
Crescent Arrow: high-grade mortal technique
Technique summary: Fires an arrow of Qi energy that grows by continuously absorbing the Qi around the arrow until it reaches the target, increasing its strength and speed depending on the distance.
The maximum distance depends on understanding the technique.
"Well, this is very simple, it could be useful at some point," Jone said after understanding the basics of the technique.
The way to use it was simple, like the explanation of the technique, Jone took his bow out of the ring and pulled the line.
Then a white arrow of energy appeared on the bow, and Jone released it into a nearby tree.
The arrow flew at an extremely fast speed and pierced the tree, continuously passing through several trees until it hit a large rock.
The Qi arrow exploded as soon as it hit something it couldn't pierce, blasting all the Qi it gathered along the way and turning almost the entire large boulder into dust.
"Oh, it's stronger than I thought it would be," Jone said surprised after seeing the strength of the arrow.
The arrow only traveled about a hundred meters, but its power was quite significant.
"I have the scythe to fight hand-to-hand and the bow at long range. Now I just need fighting experience and to learn how to use my strength in the best way."
'Although my eyes are still my greatest strength, I have to test the maximum strength that Growing Despair can reach.'
Jone knew these techniques were useful, but the most important thing was learning more about his eyes, that would always be his greatest strength.
