Major Optimization to Battle Turn Limit
Adjustment: For Normal difficulty and below, the battle turn limit for players attacking AI sects is changed from 10 to 99.
Adjustment: Greatly relaxed dungeon and story battle turn limits across all difficulties
regular battles: 10→20 turns;
key battles (Character Awakening Battle, BOSS Fight): 15→30 turns;
certain story battles and final BOSS battles: 20→99 turns.
Redesigned Blood Demon Ancestor Rescue Battle (lowered the difficulty)
Adjustment: Significantly lowered the difficulty of the Blood Demon Ancestor Rescue Battle. The battle is now revised to require keeping the Blood Demon Ancestor's HP below 50% within 6 turns.
The Blood Demon Ancestor has an immortality ability: at the start of each turn, if he is on the verge of death, he will consume one layer of Blood Gu Power and restore 20% of his maximum HP.
If Blood Gu Power is exhausted, the Blood Demon Ancestor can be killed (Rescue Failed). Blood Gu Power can be triggered 5 times on Normal difficulty and below, 2 times on Hard difficulty, and 1 time on Expert difficulty.
Optimized Martial Arts Cultivation System
Adjustment: When a martial art is not at max level, winning battles will no longer grant Martial Knowledge (only Martial Arts EXP will be gained). Only when a martial art reaches max level will the EXP earned for that martial art be converted to Martial Knowledge, with a ~30% higher conversion rate than before.
New Feature: All-new Martial Arts Teach System for easier ally cultivation. Once any character's martial art reaches max level, they can directly teach it to other eligible characters by consuming Martial Arts Knowledge (the cost varies based on the rarity of the martial art). The original mechanic of transmitting martial arts via a second secret manual is removed.
Adjustment: Using items such as the Loose Cultivator Record, Martial Path Gleanings, and Martial Classic on a character who has exceeded the item's level cap will now grant the character Martial Arts Knowledge instead.
