Chapter 463: Chapter 462 S-Rank Talent 【Adult Scroll Dragon (Bloodline Purification)】

After quickly checking his artifacts, Zhang Yanhang didn’t rush to review any equipment; instead, he first opened his Soul points balance and took a glance—he was really looking forward to his current Soul points balance.

[Soul points: 189171 (+115320)]

"Goodness, he actually obtained 115320 Soul points in one go! Although my Soul points balance has only just surpassed six digits for the first time, I didn’t expect it to immediately surge to nearly two hundred thousand—a really generous yield from the Dragon Vein Goblin."

Zhang Yanhang recalled that his original Soul points balance was only just over seventy thousand, and this had suddenly increased by one hundred and ten thousand. Merely the gain from opening the treasure box was sufficient to support the advancement of Technique Immunity·Original to LV.6 that he planned next.

"Looking at this, with my current Soul points balance of almost one hundred ninety thousand, aside from upgrading Technique Immunity·Original LV.6, I should also be able to promote Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to the Original Stage.

Then, the remaining Soul points could be used to enhance the Level of Limitless Universe Skill to LV.8."

With this situation in mind, Zhang Yanhang estimated that if he also cleared the remaining fifty square kilometers of Goblin Plain, he should be able to amass enough Soul points needed to promote Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to Original LV.6.

Moreover, the remaining Soul points should then allow him to elevate Limitless Universe Skill to Second Tier LV.10, after which he could start improving his Profession Level.

Although the current Soul points needed for the Profession Level aren’t too substantial, according to Zhang Yanhang’s calculations, ultimately, it would still require a six-digit amount of Soul points to raise it to the Second Tier Limit of LV.20. This meant he had to continue to work hard.

"On calculating this, it seems like one hundred ninety thousand Soul points aren’t lasting at all, just upgrading a few Skills and they’re almost spent." Zhang Yanhang sighed quietly, and then closed his Soul points balance.

When choosing between checking the equipment and Talent from the treasure box, Zhang Yanhang opted to prioritize checking his Talent. After all, although Swift Leggings could effectively improve his cleaning efficiency, the importance of Scroll Dragon Bloodline was undeniably higher at the moment.

After all, the Scroll Dragon Bloodline, as a Talent, was going to be with him forever, while Swift Leggings, though currently able to boost his Movement Speed, were just Dark Purple Quality equipment with a maximum limit. He could only use them up to the Fourth Tier, and they would become useless after being promoted to the Fifth Tier.

Well, speaking of the Fifth Tier, even the Fourth Tier was still quite remote for Zhang Yanhang, so, Swift Leggings that enhance Dark Purple Quality would continue to accompany him for a significantly long duration.

Moreover, the duration would likely be much longer than that of White quality sets and Green quality sets, these low-quality equipments, for these two sets are limited to the Second Tier. Once Zhang Yanhang advanced to the Third Tier, they would entirely lose their utility.

That’s not necessarily going to mean they’re completely unuseable; indeed, Alchemy, while currently unable to be further upgraded due to Rank constraints, Zhang Yanhang reckoned that it would likely continue to be promoted once he ascended to the Third Tier.

Since the last promotion of Alchemy had newly added an Additional Attribute—Enchantment, this time, Zhang Yanhang believed that Alchemy would probably somewhat see another increase in Additional Attributes.

With this in mind, should he gain any Additional Attributes that could improve the Quality of equipment at that time, it would naturally resolve the issue of low-quality equipment becoming unusable after Rank promotion.

Maybe White quality ten-piece sets can’t be forcibly upgraded to Blue quality, but for Green quality ten-piece sets—a fully scored equipment—upgrading to Blue quality seems quite hopeful.

Zhang Yanhang wasn’t asking for too much; as long as the additional attributes could slightly enhance the score of the Green ten-piece set, even being stuck at the passable line of Blue quality was completely acceptable, as long as it was Blue quality.

If the Green ten-piece set could be upgraded to Blue quality, that would mean it could continue to accompany Zhang Yanhang through the Third Tier until it would be officially obsolete in the Fourth Tier.

"Ah, although the idea is indeed beautiful, it’s a pity that even achieving this level will be exceptionally difficult since the additional attributes obtained from Alchemy can’t be chosen at all; they are fixed rewards, probably even in a fixed order, with each rank only getting corresponding abilities."

For this reason, relying on improving the quality of Alchemy to gain corresponding additional attributes to enhance the equipment’s quality after advancing to the Third Tier was indeed a difficult task, and Zhang Yanhang didn’t have much confidence in it.

Moreover, there was no solution yet, as this kind of issue obviously couldn’t be resolved through independent choice, or rather, maybe it could be resolved, but with Zhang Yanhang’s current energy value limit, it definitely wouldn’t be enough.

Among the other skills in Zhang Yanhang’s skill list with Alchemy, just promoting consumed fifty thousand soul points, and upgrading to LV.6 even required one hundred thousand soul points.

You ask Zhang Yanhang to face this kind of situation, where normally solving it would at least require six-digit soul points, with his energy value limit that’s just in the four digits. If his energy value really retained that much value, then there would be no need to hunt monsters for soul points to enhance strength; he could just pop pills to increase his power.

Therefore, wanting to interfere in this aspect through independent choice, Zhang Yanhang had no confidence at all, although it should be achievable in the future, but for now, it really wasn’t feasible.

After tallying everything up, Zhang Yanhang realized that this time he had obtained 582 E-grade talents "Thin Dragon Vein (Mixed)", and, together with the 11 Thin Dragon Veins left in his waist bag before, he now had a total of 593 Thin Dragon Veins.

And to upgrade the A-grade talent "Young Scroll Dragon (Bloodline Purification)" to S-grade, only 243 Thin Dragon Veins were needed, so now he had more than twice the amount of talents required for the upgrade.

"Since that’s the case, then let’s quickly start the upgrade," Zhang Yanhang said while continuously popping those blue-purple small light balls that had already been separated during the tally.

[Detected an A-grade talent ’Young Scroll Dragon (Bloodline Purification)’ in your talent list; would you like to merge talents?]

"Yes, merge." Just like before, Zhang Yanhang had two expectations for this upgrade—well, it could be said to be one expectation—he was hoping for a quicker increase in energy value limit and to obtain silence-related spells.

And the path to achieving these two hopes would be through further mutation of the Scroll Dragon Bloodline; as long as he could once again achieve a bloodline mutation, then Zhang Yanhang thought those two small hopes could be very easily accomplished directly.

[Merge complete.]

[You have obtained the S-grade talent ’Adult Scroll Dragon (Bloodline Purification)’.]
