Chapter 296: Chapter 295 [Indestructible Golden Body Level 8]

"Of course, the 300,000 soul points Zhang Yanhang mentioned here actually included the combined totals of Gun Master LV.MAX, Fighting Master LV.MAX, Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil LV.MAX, Death Wave LV.MAX, and the Indestructible Golden Body Skill and Supreme Will Skill, which would also be upgraded to LV.MAX in the future.

These added up to a total of six skills, each requiring 50,000 soul points to promote, making it 300,000 soul points altogether.

Moreover, after promoting his skills, Zhang Yanhang would still need to scrape together more soul points to upgrade the levels of these skills. Thinking of this, Zhang Yanhang suddenly felt like his body was full of bottomless pits that consumed soul points.

Just for promotion it would take 350,000, and following that, leveling up would require several hundred thousand more. Even on the conservative side, he estimated it wouldn’t be less than a million soul points back and forth.

Upon the sudden realization that he might need to accumulate so many soul points in the future, Zhang Yanhang couldn’t help but feel dizzy and black out; the task seemed too arduous, and he felt like he could hardly bear it.

But fortunately, these were problems Zhang Yanhang would encounter in the future. As for the present, he actually didn’t need to worry yet because just gathering the initial 350,000 soul points needed for skill promotion would take a long time.

Perhaps even after reaching the Third Tier, he might still not have gathered enough, so these insatiable pits consuming soul points without spitting out a bone had nothing to do with him for the time being.

...

After using a portion of the soul points to upgrade the level of the Indestructible Golden Body Skill, Zhang Yanhang immediately began to check the skill effects after reaching Level 8.

[Indestructible Golden Body Level 8 (Passive/Active)]

[Passive effect: Life Value +40% (+10%)]

[Active Effect: Once the skill is activated, body parts covered by the Golden Body Effect gain +200% (+50%) defensive power and +40% (+10%) Attack Power. Currently, this can cover limbs and torso. No cooldown, consumes a small amount of Physical Strength.]

[Additional Attributes: Skillful — You can now skillfully control the Indestructible Golden Body Skill, gaining the ability to freely transfer the Golden Body Effect to a specified location. When transferring to an external target, it will increase the rate of Physical Strength consumption.]

"The coverage area has now extended to the torso; it’s just the head that remains uncovered. With this progress, perhaps when the Indestructible Golden Body Skill upgrades to Level 9, I might achieve full body coverage..."

Zhang Yanhang had previously thought he would need to upgrade the Indestructible Golden Body Skill to LV.MAX to achieve full body coverage but now it seemed that it might be possible a bit earlier.

"The enhancement effect for defensive power has increased to 200%, which means that once the Indestructible Golden Body Skill is activated, the parts of my body augmented by the Golden Body Effect can attain triple the original defensive power. With such a level of defense, I should be able to withstand most conventional weapons, like missiles."

Zhang Yanhang felt that as long as it wasn’t something like a strategic missile carrying a high-yield warhead, then bearing a standard anti-aircraft missile really shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

"In addition to the 50% increase in defensive power enhancement effect, both Life Value and Attack Power bonuses increased by 10% each. Speaking of which, I haven’t yet had time to experiment with that idea about imbuing bullets with the Golden Body Effect..."

Regarding his bold idea from earlier, Zhang Yanhang planned to run the related experiments after clearing out the Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu, as he really didn’t have time right now.

After checking the effects of the Indestructible Golden Body Skill at Level 8, Zhang Yanhang silently opened his stats panel.

"Having upgraded the Indestructible Golden Body Skill to Level 8, I gained an additional 10% Life Value bonus, raising my Life Value Limit from the initial 1916 points to the current 2064 points, a total increase of 148 Life Value points, finally surpassing two thousand points.

And with the increase in Life Value Limit, my Shield Value Limit also rose from the original 2874 points to the current 3096 points, a total increase of 222 Shield Value points, successfully exceeding three thousand points."

Zhang Yanhang had previously said that with the level increase of the Indestructible Golden Body Skill, his Life Value Limit and Shield Value Limit would certainly rapidly surpass two thousand and three thousand points, respectively. Now it seemed his prediction was very accurate, for it had already been achieved at just Level 8.

"And also, just as accurately predicted, although the Life Value Limit and Shield Value Limit both broke through two and three thousand points, my Energy Value Limit is still revolving within the three-digit mark, with the Life Value Limit now growing to be 2.4 times the Energy Value Limit."

As for the matter of the Energy Value Limit, Zhang Yanhang was gradually coming to terms with it, since he could not travel to other areas yet, and he couldn’t bother trying. It was better to not struggle pointlessly; unnecessary fixation only served to needlessly add pressure and pain.

"After upgrading the Indestructible Golden Body Skill, I still have 5589 soul points left, but I’ll temporarily hold onto this portion. As for the Supreme Will Skill and such, there aren’t any monsters in the Crimson Iron Ant Nest that are good at those types of attacks, so there’s no rush to upgrade the skill level."

Zhang Yanhang had originally thought about also upgrading the Supreme Will Skill to LV.6 to see its additional attributes, but later thought it would be better to wait and upgrade it later on."
