Golden Statue Technique

**The Golden Statue Technique.** This body hardening technique was easy to learn as it only required Garen to apply the golden oil on his body, which was a specially made butter. However, he didn’t meet the condition.

Garen had no choice but to note it down in his head and bring it up another time. He then memorized all the information in the treasury of the Crimson Sand Sword once more to make sure of the information.

**Golden Statue Technique** as a total of 5 Grades

## Overview

Golden Statue Technique: Extremely effective in attacks and defense. Increase strength, vitality and recovery. Users who have mastered this technique are impervious to attacks that may injure the inner body, as the outer body was seamlessly merged with the inner organs, which result in enhanced regeneration. It was very effective in negating the effects of poisons.

Weakness: Heavy and dense body.

The benefits of the Golden Statue Technique was obvious compared to the Mammoth Secret Technique as it had an additional recovery skill. Even the modified Mammoth Secret Technique couldn’t top this effect.

This made Garen determined to choose this secret technique as his main technique.

### Effects

He took a deep breath and reorganized his thoughts, his body would definitely have drastic changes from this major shift. He had to be ready. He focused his vision onto the recently learnt Golden Statue Tecnique. One point of potential point disappeared. The Golden Statue Technique had increased to grade 1. Two points disappeared, Golden Statue Technique had increased to grade 2. Another two points disappeared, Grade 3. This time it was five points that disappeared, it had increased to Grade 4. Finally another five point disappeared.

He ultimately spent 15 potential points and raised the Golden Statue Technique to grade 5, which was its peak. Garen stood still in silence and prepared himself as he looked at the symbol slowly appearing at the end of the Golden Statue Technique. The moment the symbol fully appeared, A loud sound came from within Garen’s cranium and waves of cool air rushed into every part of his body.

It felt like his body was suddenly filled with torrents of cold water. However the strange thing was that thought to be a stream of hot blood kept flowing out of his heart and mixed with the cold water. It was similar to when he first learned the Explosive Fist Art, which produced a strong reaction towards the change of the body.

Again, something strange was happening to Garen’s body. His left side of the body was a shade of red whereas the right side became white. The difference was obvious as two opposing fluids, which was hot and cold, reacted inside Garen’s body. A viscous liquid incessantly secreted out of Garen’s body, covering the whole of iits surface. It was as if he painted himself over with a layer of glue. Fifteen points of potential points had raised the Golden Statue Technique to its peak, grade 5.

## History

The Golden Statue Technique’s sects was once a rival of the Crimson Sand Sword. Although its technique was weaker than the Crimson Sand Sword, it shouldn’t be that far apart."

**Bronze Statue Technique**, **Steel Statue Technique** and **Gold Statue Technique** was obtained by the Crimson Sand Sword by eliminating body hardening factions. It was obvious that they had prepared this for **Garen** since they hadn’t taken them away.

Although these three techniques were strong, their differences in power were not that far apart. However, there was one crucial factor.

Although the three levels, namely Bronze, Silver and Gold were not much of a difference to an outsider, there was a difference between the users. The Steel Statue users could restrain the Bronze Statue users and the Gold Statue users could restrain the Steel Statue users easily. This was an obvious way to form a hierarchy within the Gate.

## Variant & Beyond the Maximum Level

As the Golden Statue Technique had been successfully maximised, the modified Mammoth Secret Technique, together with the enhancement effects from multiple Body Hardening Techniques became one symbol and merged into the **Golden Statue Technique**, fusing into a new, mysterious symbol. ‘**Golden Statue Technique**: Grade 5. The modified Mammoth Secret Technique has been partially covered and enhanced. A part of the conflicted effects have been erased.’ The meaning of the symbol was sent directly into Garen’s mind.

He panicked as he saw it. If he couldn’t achieve what he wanted during this conversion, his strength would decrease. Whether the Golden Statue technique would disagree with the modified Mammoth Secret Technique had to be confirmed after some assessment. Since the **Golden Statue Technique** had solidified in the skill pane, it meant that it would no longer be subject to change.

**‘Golden Statue Technique: Grade 5. (Known as strength, response and defense).**

**Defense Enhancement Level 1. (Conversion from the maximised Body Hardening Technique)**

It was no issue that the powerful hardening might cause a counter effect, but he was concerned if the effect of the maximised Body Hardening Technique would be retained during attacking. Garen tried to adjust his blood and qi. Fortunately, the effect retained but he couldn’t raised it up to two dan, instead remaining fixed at one dan. Slightly disappointed, he continued looking at the skill pane.

There were ten more potential points, and it seemed like the **Golden Statue Technique** could still be increased further as its name has yet to turn gray. Without any hesitation, he added five potential points into it. His internal organs started to feel like they didn’t sit quite right with him. Garen didn’t turned a deaf ear to the discomfort and focused all of his attention onto the peaked **Golden Statue Technique**. This technique was considered a second rate technique once it had reached its peak. However, a strange thing happened after he added five potential points into it.

A strange symbol appeared behind the **Golden Statue Technique**. Garen immediately understood what it meant: Achieved the theoretical limits of the technique due to forced conclusion onto the **Golden Statue Technique**. Training method will be increased drastically. Name will be changed according to the information. The **Golden Statue Technique** slowly disappeared and a new name appeared.

Divine Statue Technique!

Garen gave a sigh of relief.
