Jiang Chen sat cross-legged and began to comprehend the Shadow Body Technique.
Once a Martial Skill reached the Earth Tier, the consumption of one's own True Essence would be immense, far surpassing that of a Profound-Tier Martial Skill.
Even though Jiang Chen possessed nine ultimate True Essence Spirit Seas, his True Essence reserves were far greater, more abundant, and more powerful than an ordinary expert of the same rank. His reserves were even ten times that of an ordinary expert. Even so, when comprehending an Earth-Tier High-Level Martial Skill, just one or two attempts could consume a massive amount of True Essence.
Of course...
This wasn't to say that a Martial Artist's True Essence consumption would be this great when using an Earth-Tier High-Level Martial Skill in actual combat.
Comprehending a Martial Skill is a process of creating something from nothing.
It is also a process of exploration and experimentation.
