Chapter 893: Chapter 642: Seems Like a Relative_2

Can the cost of repairing a kitchen knife be the same as the cost of repairing a lightsaber?

Even after his strength had increased, the quality of his Life Force would also increase, but this increase still couldn’t overshadow the speed of the ’repair’ cost increase. However, the improvement of the Life Force discharge coefficient could press down this cost.

This was just the physical manifestation, the impact on other aspects was even more direct, such as the use of Life Power... which was equivalent to the glow and heat emitted by Life Force, not that using Life Power would consume Life Force.

There’s a rejuvenation technique in magic that involves Life Power and can accelerate the recovery speed of injuries in living organisms. Zheng Yichen, having a higher Life Force discharge coefficient, would see a significant increase in the potency of this magic when he used it.

Other abilities related to the Life type also received enhancements, so the improvement of this performance coefficient was far from negligible.

He already had the passive ability of Life enhancement, and now this ability had been noticeably strengthened, as well as the Life Suppression ability he acquired not long ago. The Essence of Life was also a form of Life type power and had been enhanced.

The feedback from the new ability he obtained by bloodsucking from Da Shan required some time for Zheng Yichen to ponder, which seemed to be somewhat related to the ’Curse’ exhibited by the mountain. He came to this conclusion because the special Curse on him was being slowly digested by him.

However, this digestion wouldn’t bring him any enhancement; on the contrary, it continuously consumed his own Strength, a very burdensome digestion process.

Another feedback was related to Strength.

"I’ll need some time to recover. The way I feel now... is pretty terrible. I keep feeling like I’m going to run into huge misfortune just by walking. Are you alright?"

Zheng Yichen asked Du Gang.

Du Gang shook his head, showing off his gold-laden robust body: "I can’t mess around like you do. That Curse disappeared along with the mountain’s death. As for you, you seem to have some serious issues."

Looking at Zheng Yichen, who resembled a purple sweet potato, Du Gang instinctively wanted to keep his distance. This was a Life instinct, as if getting close to Zheng Yichen meant incurring great misfortune, an inherent warning being emitted to him.

"How long will it take for you to recover?" Suppressing this inexplicable feeling, Du Gang pressed on.

"Maybe a day or two, or possibly three to five days." Zheng Yichen assessed the speed at which his body was digesting the Curse, his anti-Curse items proving completely useless.

Mainly because this thing wasn’t a regular Curse.

Let’s put it this way, when a computer is infected with a virus, the antivirus software inside can function and everyone understands this, but if the computer’s hardware gets tainted with a virus that can physically destroy the electronic components, the antivirus software within is helpless.

Both are viruses, one that infects software and the other that devours electronic components, but they exist on different levels.

"Then let’s hurry on our way. Are you still able to fight in this condition? Could you die from just a gust of wind?" Du Gang asked, recalling the scene he had witnessed earlier.

Zheng Yichen shook his head: "Such conditions should only be limited to attacks generated by Da Shan. External attacks don’t affect me too much...?"

As he spoke, he inflicted a heavy blow on his own arm; it hurt, but his arm was fine, not smashed. He nodded: "Seems like I’m okay. My Strength, however, seems to have undergone some subtle changes."

Du Gang raised his eyebrows: "You becoming stronger is a good thing."

It was clear that Da Shan had been drained to death by Zheng Yichen using some method of extracting power; hence, it was only natural for Zheng Yichen’s Strength to have increased. It was just that his explanation was a bit perplexing.

What did he mean by subtle changes?

The mountain was so massive, even if the strength extracted from it could eventually be converted into one’s own power, accounting for less than one ten-thousandth or one hundred-thousandth, it wouldn’t be described as a subtle change.

"That’s the case." Zheng Yichen conjured up a ball of lightning. The feedback he gained from Da Shan included abilities related to the Life type and a substantial increase in Life Force discharge coefficient, and then there was this unrelated to the Life type.

A special power feedback that affected his own Strength.

Now, whenever he conjured any Special Power, he could feel as if the power had come to life, not with its own consciousness, but displaying great activeness in terms of its responsiveness.

The ball of lightning rapidly intensified. Under Du Gang’s watchful eye, the lightning sphere accumulated to a certain level and then exploded.

Facing this explosion, Little Golden Man showed no intention of evading, not even blinking an eye. What level of attack was this? It was merely like scraping off dead skin if it hit him.

Yet the bursting lightning acted like a gentle breeze, or a harmless stream of water, lightly floating around when it touched him. Despite the inherent violence of lightning, it brought him no harm.

"Is this... spiritual power?" Du Gang was astonished. Many Dusk mercenaries desired this, but the Great World was highly secretive about spiritual power, and the average Dusk mercenaries had no access to it.

Therefore, very few Dusk mercenaries possessed it. The advantage of spiritual power was mainly manifested in team battles, when one could output without restraint, not having to worry about one’s own power harming allies.
