Chapter 470: Chapter 469 [Limitless Universe Skill LV.8]

"After fusing twice in a row, the Score of the Swift Leggings surged from the original 60 points to the current 104 points, accruing a total increase of 44 points in Score, averaging an increase of 22 points per fusion, which is basically identical to the Dragon Power Bracelet from before."

Zhang Yanhang felt that while this convergence might be related to the strength of the Goblin Spear Thrower as well as the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, perhaps the major reason was that the Alchemist under Red Dragon Salcano, who was responsible for crafting this batch of Equipment, was the same person; therefore, it was normal for the similarities to be quite high.

Additionally, the fact that Red Dragon Salcano put a large quantity of these Swift Leggings and Dragon Power Bracelets on sale indicates that quality control must be managed carefully, with the current performances being meticulously crafted before letting Alchemists mass-produce them on an assembly line, such as alchemizing dozens of pieces of Equipment at once.

In this way, it was natural for the Equipment to become homogenized with one another. After all, the materials used were similar, the Alchemist was the same person, and the Angel responsible for Enlightenment was the same—under these conditions, it might be difficult to create significant differences between pieces of Equipment.

"An 8% Movement Speed increase is almost on par with the boost from a Purple Quality Achievement, but we’ll see how much speed it actually enhances when hunting Monsters later on."

As he spoke, Zhang Yanhang equipped the Swift Leggings on his shins, which were conveniently bare of any other Equipment, merely covered by the standard long pants from the White Ten-piece Set.

Fortunately, the position of the leggings didn’t interfere with Zhang Yanhang wearing pants, as it would indeed have been somewhat improper to wear only leggings without pants on the lower half of his body.

Although for the Monsters of the Ashen World, there probably wouldn’t be issues regarding visual decency or cityscape integrity, it was still somewhat inappropriate, at least Zhang Yanhang himself would feel slightly awkward about it.

Incidentally, in terms of appearance, these Swift Leggings looked nothing like the old-fashioned cloth leggings from the anti-Japanese war dramas Zhang Yanhang remembered; structurally, they were more like a revised version of Knee Guards, with side openings that allowed the Swift Leggings to be snapped onto the shins and then automatically tighten.

Regarding this automatic tightening feature, it was quite different from the built-in body size adjustment in Ashen World, so, Zhang Yanhang figured it was probably a nifty feature added by the Alchemist himself to save on the cost of fasteners.

"Talent upgrade completed, Equipment fusion also done, next, let’s level up my Skills, I still have nearly six figures’ worth of Soul points to use." Zhang Yanhang said as he reopened his Soul points balance to take a glance.

[Soul points: 189171]

"This moment, I truly have waited too long for (referring to less than a week), ever since last time in the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu, where I promoted the Technique Immunity Skill to the Original stage, I’ve been looking forward to raising it to LV.6 to gain the Additional Attributes and thus receive a one-time significant boost to my Shield Value.

Now, finally having gathered enough Soul points, I choose! Skill Level Enhancement."

Zhang Yanhang immediately began making a conscious choice, and Time Pause descended instantaneously. A large array of textual option boxes appeared before him. For Zhang Yanhang, who had just triggered Time Pause six hundred times in a row to open treasure boxes, the present Time Pause felt incredibly familiar.

[Proceed with Skill Level Enhancement?]

[Option One: ’Gun Mastery LV.MAX’ raised to ’Gun Grandmaster LV.5’ (Consumes 1 Ash Source, 51200 Soul points).]

...

[Option Three: ’Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil LV.MAX’ advanced to ’Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil·Original LV.5’ (Consumes 1 Ash Source, 51200 Soul points).]

[Option Four: "Technique Immunity·Original LV.5" upgraded to "Technique Immunity·Original LV.6" (Consumes 102,400 soul points.)]

[Option Five: "Limitless Universe Skill[Second Order]LV.7" upgraded to "Limitless Universe Skill[Second Order]LV.8" (Consumes 21,000 soul points.)]

...

[Option Nine: "Indestructible Golden Body LV.MAX" upgraded to "Indestructible Golden Body·Original LV.5" (Consumes 1 Ash Source and 51,200 soul points.)]

"To upgrade Limitless Universe Skill LV.8, it actually now requires 21,000 soul points. Although it doesn’t double in a fierce manner like other professional skills, the increase is still pretty steep.

I vaguely remember that when upgrading to LV.2, it seemed like it only needed 3,000 soul points. Now it’s almost a sixfold increase."

However, while the upgrade requirements for Limitless Universe Skill have indeed increased sharply, Zhang Yanhang’s efficiency in acquiring soul points has increased even more so.

Therefore, at present, the mere 21,000 soul points are about as significant to him as 2,000 soul points were during the First Tier period, which Zhang Yanhang is willing to refer to as ’soul point devaluation.’

Well, perhaps this is not quite the right way to put it, as there is no inflation with soul points. It’s simply that Zhang Yanhang’s strength has increased, and therefore the number of soul points he uses each time has correspondingly risen significantly.

"To upgrade Technique Immunity·Original LV.6, it requires 102,400 soul points, while the promotion of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil·Original LV.5 needs 51,200 soul points. Add to that the 21,000 soul points for Limitless Universe Skill LV.8, altogether that’s only 174,600 soul points.

Looking at it this way, my soul point balance should be more than sufficient. Since that is the case, I will first upgrade the level of Limitless Universe Skill. Hence, I choose to raise the skill level of Limitless Universe Skill to LV.8."

Accompanied by Zhang Yanhang making his final choice, that familiar sensation of Time Pause instantly vanished, and he immediately opened up the skill effect of Limitless Universe Skill LV.8 to check it out.

[Limitless Universe Skill[Second Order]LV.8 (Passive/Active)]

[Passive Effect: Strength +1, Agility +1, Constitution +1, Intelligence +1, Charm +1.]

[Active Effect: Actively operate the cultivation technique, using Spiritual Energy to enhance one’s defensive power, attack power, and movement speed. No cooldown time, consumption of a certain amount of energy value based on the specific enhancement effect.]

[Additional Attributes: First Tier — Strength +6, Agility +6, Constitution +6, Intelligence +10, Charm +2.]

[Additional Attributes: Second Tier — Strength +5 (+1), Agility +5, Constitution +5 (+1), Intelligence +8 (+1), Charm +1.]

"As expected, there was no increase in the Agility attribute, while Strength, Constitution, and Intelligence each increased by one point. With this, the gap between my Agility and Intelligence attributes has officially reached a maximum difference of five points."

Faced with this somewhat disheartening outcome, Zhang Yanhang silently sighed.
