Chapter 337: Chapter 243 Overclocking Thought

Ji Xinghuo had just put down the syringe when the wound on his forehead healed.

The small hole that had drilled through his skull was also regrowing, and after a few minutes, under the effect of the Holy Scale Armor, it completely disappeared.

Inside his brain, however, a storm was raging.

Fortunately, it wasn’t very painful.

Ji Xinghuo felt as if his brain were soaked in ice water, icy and numb, yet stimulating, existing in a bizarre state as the injected liquid slowly infused with the Alien Species, transforming his brain cells.

As the fusion entered its later stages, his mind began to feel groggy, as if in a dream, yet he maintained a certain level of clarity.

This fusion lasted longer than he had anticipated.

Half an hour later,

Ji Xinghuo gradually regained a clear will, became more spirited, and his thinking sped up.

His sensory perceptions and electromagnetic induction feedback became more intense.

The world seemed to slow down.

Ji Xinghuo was very familiar with this state and quickly opened the interface; indeed, the information had updated. He had successfully integrated High-frequency Thinking.

[Ability: High-frequency Thinking (First Level 1/43)]

High-frequency Thinking is a superior ability. After fusion, it added 30 points of Star Power. To rise from the first level to the second level, it required just 43 points of Spiritual Origin Ability.

However, Ji Xinghuo did not immediately upgrade but carefully experienced the new ability and found it was similar to the High-frequency Thinking associated with the Acceleration Ring. When activated, it could increase his neural response and thinking speed by about 25%, continuously consuming Star Power.

The High-frequency Thinking he possessed and that of the Acceleration Ring could not have cumulative effects.

Even if both were activated, the thinking acceleration was still only 25%.

"Let’s begin," he said.

Ji Xinghuo invested Spiritual Origin Ability, maintaining High-frequency Thinking throughout the process. He then found that, as the process advanced, his thinking speed incrementally increased.

Soon, High-frequency Thinking advanced to (Second Level 1/193).

At the second rank, the acceleration effect reached about 50%.

He then upgraded to (Third Rank 1/883), where the thinking acceleration was increased to 75%. Ji Xinghuo couldn’t help but think, "Does each upgrade increase the thinking acceleration by 25%?"

"Continue!" he exclaimed.

Quickly, High-frequency Thinking advanced to (Fourth Level 1/3373).

Ji Xinghuo immediately felt the effects; his neural response and thinking speed were twice as fast as usual, a full 100% acceleration!

He looked at the upgrade information. Over three thousand points of Spiritual Origin Ability would have made him hesitate before to consider the priority of other abilities, but now, with over eighty thousand points of Spiritual Origin Ability, he could use them freely.

So, he continued upgrading his High-frequency Thinking.

Instantly, Ji Xinghuo noticed a noticeably better effect from the upgrade. When High-frequency Thinking reached (Fifth Level 1/13313), his thinking acceleration hit 200%, and his neural response was three times the normal rate. The world appeared significantly slower to him.

"Awesome!"

Ji Xinghuo felt great; things he could not do before were now easily manageable.

He took out the Invisible Stab, casually firing seven arrows.

This was all accomplished within one second.

If anyone else had been present, unless they had exceptional vision, they would only see Ji Xinghuo’s hands as a blur, firing off seven arrows in the blink of an eye.

Apart from shooting, his control over magnetic fields and electrical charges also became more precise.

The efficiency of information discrimination in electromagnetic induction was three times higher than before!

Running, shooting, thinking, fighting—every brain-related activity became easy and fast. The Myriad Phenomena’s Microscopic Perception allowed for the collection and analysis of more detailed information, as if a god-like perspective in his brain mapped out all the dynamics of the surrounding spacetime.

"Very good, very powerful!"

"Fifth-Level High-frequency Thinking is this powerful, what if I advance one more level?"

Ji Xinghuo looked at (Fifth Level 1/13313), considered for a few seconds—over ten thousand points of Spiritual Origin Ability, which he found acceptable.

He continued investing Spiritual Origin Ability.

Immediately, the effect of thinking acceleration started to increase again.

In the interface, the numbers of Spiritual Origin Ability swiftly plummeted while the upgrade progress of High-frequency Thinking advanced in sync.

When the progress hit 13313/13313, Spiritual Origin Ability came to a halt, no further investment was possible.

By then, the thinking acceleration had reached 300%!

Ji Xinghuo felt a rush of icy grogginess in his brain, and the thinking acceleration state automatically interrupted. His brain underwent another transformation, much faster than the fusion earlier; it took just five minutes. Ji Xinghuo refreshed his spirit, seeing the information on the interface updated.

[Ability: Overclocking Thought (Sixth Level 1/36373)]

"As expected, it advanced!"

Ji Xinghuo was unsurprised. An ability upgrading to a certain level would advance, and the second transformation of his brain was a sign of this advancement.

"Overclocking Thought?"

"I’ve never heard of this ability before."

Ji Xinghuo recalled for a moment and immediately confirmed he had never heard of it, whether it was online materials, ADS’s Alien Species database, or from friends, no one had mentioned Overclocking Thought.

"Hmm?"

Only then did he realize that his memory had gotten very sharp.

He could instantly recall past events, even news he had seen online over a decade ago, clearly remembering its contents.

Was this one of the effects of Overclocking Thought?

Ji Xinghuo immediately activated it.

In an instant, that sensation of the world slowing down appeared again, still at 300% thinking acceleration, but in the next moment, with a thought, his brain overclocked, functioning like an overclocked computer chip, and his thinking acceleration effect skyrocketed, exceeding 500%!

"This..."

Ji Xinghuo was startled himself.

He even felt unaccustomed, as if his body and mind were not in sync, creating a disjointed feeling that clashed with his surroundings.

"Is my neural response too fast, causing my body to lag?"

"Unbelievable!"

Ji Xinghuo immediately realized what was happening. At this moment, his thought process was incredibly fast, although still far from the Myriad Phenomena state, it was extraordinarily exaggerated.

Similarly, the star power consumed by overclocking his brain was substantial, about 15 points per second.

With his current star power, he could only maintain it for a little over a minute.

And there was a sensation of his brain heating up.

Ji Xinghuo raised his hand and touched his forehead. Indeed, it was very hot, like having a high fever, but without any discomfort.

"It can be slower."

With a thought, his brain function immediately slowed down.

From 500% thought acceleration, it reduced to just over 300%. Ji Xinghuo thought about slowing it down further, and indeed, it dropped to around 150%. After experimenting for a while, he discovered he could switch his thinking speed anywhere between 1% and 500%, faster if he wanted or slower if he preferred; truly at will.

As the acceleration decreased, so did the consumption of star power, showing a direct correlation.

Ji Xinghuo, maintaining a high-frequency state, contemplated.

The advanced "Overclocking Thought" should be a Transcendent Ability. If it were a Star Fall Ability, it would trigger a "Star Fall Phenomenon" at Sky Falling Cliff at this moment.

Merely a Transcendent Ability and yet so powerful, he dared not imagine how exaggerated it would be if it evolved into a Star Fall Ability again in the future.

In an overclocked state, his combat abilities more than doubled!

Faster speed.

Quicker reactions.

Greater precision in controlling his body, more accurate in shooting.

However, at the highest frequency state, his body’s movements seemed somewhat unable to keep up, even his most flexible hands felt a bit clumsy.

Ji Xinghuo opened the interface and saw that Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand had been upgraded to (Fourth Level 105/4987) and had not improved in a long time.

Without hesitation, he invested 4882 points of Spiritual Origin Ability and immediately upgraded Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand to Fifth Level.

[Ability: Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand (Fifth Level 1/18757)]

There was no advancement; it remained a Superior Ability.

Ji Xinghuo attempted to activate Overclocking Thought to its maximum, and sure enough, in this state, his hands could finally keep up with his thoughts.

"Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand advancing another level should evolve into a Transcendent Ability," he thought.

He immediately remembered the data he had seen in the Sword Bureau’s internal database, where Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand would evolve into a Transcendent Ability called "Thousand Spirit Limbs," turning every part of the body incredibly flexible, far beyond just hands and feet.

He still had 64840 points of Spiritual Origin Ability, but now was definitely not the time to use them to upgrade Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand.

Not even Overclocking Thought.

After some consideration, Ji Xinghuo thought that what he needed to upgrade most urgently was "Ether Affinity." He was about 500 points short of star power for his next evolution, and even with focused cultivation every day, it would take about three and a half Star Realm Months, equivalent to about 250 days on Earth.

This rate was very fast for others, but somewhat slow for him.

If wanting to progress quicker, he would definitely need to buy some supportive medications.

Secondly, to upgrade Ether Affinity.

Ether Affinity was currently (Fourth Level 41/7079), and not many Spiritual Origin Abilities were needed to advance it to Fifth Level. Moreover, Ether Affinity was permanently effective, not just now but at every stage in the future, providing great benefits. The sooner it was upgraded, the greater the returns.

Every evolution after becoming a Super Mutant required accumulating a vast amount of star power.

The higher the rank, the slower the evolution.

The main reason being, star power increased too slowly, hindering the evolution speed of countless Mutants, necessitating a long period of time to accumulate star power gradually.

Even many Mutants, for faster evolution, combined multiple "Ether Sensitivity" and "Ether Affinity."

Their effects could be stacked.

After careful deliberation, Ji Xinghuo immediately invested Spiritual Origin Ability in Ether Affinity.

Soon, Ether Affinity reached Fifth Level, and became (Fifth Level 1/35759). The effect was immediate; his perception of ether energy intensified. It wasn’t only visible to the naked eye, but even without cultivating, the ether energy within dozens of meters around him swirled around him.

It was as if his body possessed an attraction to ether energy.

Now if he cultivated or recovered star power, the efficiency would definitely be much faster than before!

"It can still be upgraded!"

Ji Xinghuo did not hesitate much, with nearly 57802 points of Spiritual Origin Ability left, he decisively continued to invest in Ether Affinity.

A moment later.

When Ether Affinity reached (Fifth Level 35758/35759), he suddenly paused, feeling something.

"Upgrading Ether Affinity further will cause an advancement and trigger celestial phenomena."

Ji Xinghuo walked out of the cultivation room and looked up at the sky, relieved to see it was still calm. With the Shepherd Star Saint and several Heavenly Kings on Sky Falling Cliff, if a celestial phenomenon were triggered, it would likely not escape the notice of that Void Spirit Guest, possibly leading to unpredictable consequences.

He immediately mounted Qing Hong and rode away on his six-legged horned horse from Xia Qingyu’s house.

Coming down from Sky Falling Cliff, Ji Xinghuo traveled eastward more than eighty kilometers and arrived near a cliff over two thousand meters high. After circling around several times to ensure nobody was around, he hid in a cave.

It wasn’t long before night fell. He then opened the Wanxiang Star Pupil interface and invested 1 point of Spiritual Origin Ability into Ether Affinity.

Instantly, Ether Affinity began to advance.

Ji Xinghuo felt the change. At the same time, the night sky outside became incredibly stunning, as if Star Night had come early. The reflection of the Galaxy was also visible in the night sky, and a dazzling streak of starlight crossed the heavens, descending as if a flying star had fallen.

The Star Fall Phenomenon appeared!
