The Zombies and Crimson Iron Ants that Zhang Yanhang encountered had single-digit Intelligence Attributes. Even the Lord Monster Tracker only had 10 points in Intelligence Attribute, which was far from Zhang Yanhang’s—it wasn’t even in the same league.
Zhang Yanhang felt that, in terms of strength, Supreme Will was roughly on par with the skills he acquired during his First Tier Period. Although it might fall somewhat short of the most powerful Technique Immunity, it was at least on the same level as Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil.
After all, you can’t hang around the riverside without wetting your shoes. Although he hadn’t yet encountered monsters proficient in that type of attack, Zhang Yanhang was certain to face them in the future. If he didn’t have the protection of Supreme Will but still chose to charge in headlong without precautions, he might find himself embarrassingly capsized in a gutter.
After reviewing the Skill Effect of Supreme Will, Zhang Yanhang continued to examine the Skill Effect of Indestructible Golden Body.
Indestructible Golden Body Level 1 (Passive/Active)
Passive effect: Life Value +5% ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ noᴠelfire.net
Active Effect: Upon Skill Activation, the defense power of body parts covered by the Golden Body Effect increases by 25%, and Attack Power by 5%. Currently, it can cover: both hands. No cooldown time, and consumes only a small amount of Physical Strength.
"Judging by the characteristic of Professional Skills doubling in strength with each level, I feel like I can already imagine the terrifying effectiveness of Indestructible Golden Body once upgraded.
Especially the effect that increases the Life Value Limit—other defense bonuses and Attack Power increases only come after activating the skill, whereas this increase in Life Value Limit is a Passive effect that is always active, even without activating the skill."
Besides, Zhang Yanhang noticed an upgradable part—the hands for now, but he felt that as the skill improved, so too would the upgradable parts.
Eventually, with the increase of the covered parts, as long as he activated Indestructible Golden Body, the Energy Shield would also benefit from the defense bonus of the Golden Body.
"This Indestructible Golden Body really pairs perfectly with the Energy Shield—it can not only increase the Shield Value Limit by enhancing the Life Value Limit, but also bolster the Energy Shield’s defensive power with the Golden Body Effect.
Indeed, as befits a Professional Skill of the Heavenly Destiny Master, the Professional Skills complement each other very effectively. Supreme Will is responsible for protecting my spirit, while Indestructible Golden Body protects my body. And with an all-encompassing, 360-degree coverage Energy Shield, I feel like I’m becoming tougher and tougher."
Zhang Yanhang thought that if he could have acquired Indestructible Golden Body at the First Tier and leveled it up a few more times, he would even have the confidence to engage in close-quarters combat with a Lord Monster Tracker, rather than relying on a rocket launcher to kill the enemy from afar.
After reviewing the two skills acquired upon advancing to Second Tier, Zhang Yanhang felt he could now formulate a simple leveling-up plan.
While Supreme Will and Indestructible Golden Body were indeed strong, they wouldn’t increase Zhang Yanhang’s efficiency in monster hunting. Thus, if he had to prioritize them, it would be Death Wave > Indestructible Golden Body > Supreme Will.
The reason why Supreme Will was at the bottom was that he had yet to encounter that type of monster; hence, there was no rush to level it up. Although Indestructible Golden Body could increase the Life Value Limit, Zhang Yanhang was about to clear the Crimson Iron Ant Nest, an area mostly populated by First Tier Monsters.
For First Tier Monsters, a slightly higher or lower Life Value Limit wouldn’t affect his efficiency in hunting monsters.
After all, even before his promotion to Second Tier, First Tier Monsters couldn’t harm him, let alone now that he had advanced to Second Tier—First Tier Monsters were even less of a threat. Therefore, compared to Indestructible Golden Body, the Death Wave Skill, which could increase the efficiency of monster hunting, was ranked first.
Though the Level 1 Death Wave Skill seemed weak, after leveling it up a few times and expanding its coverage area, it would undoubtedly become his best assistance in monster hunting.
Having reviewed the Skill Effects of Indestructible Golden Body and Supreme Will, Zhang Yanhang then prepared to begin enhancing his Attribute values. He currently had 54 Free Attribute Points and was going to use them all during this round of allocation, but first, he opened his Attribute List for a glance.
Constitution: 29 (+3)
Intelligence: 28 (+3)
"Good, with the opening up of the Attribute value limit, the Attribute bonus effects from the White set and Green set are finally back, and the one point of Constitution Attribute from Chunling Endless, previously suppressed, is no longer constrained."
The Second Tier Limit for Attributes is 50 points, and Zhang Yanhang has 54 Free Attribute Points. When he allocates all these points, all four Main Attributes will rise above forty points.
This was exactly what Zhang Yanhang had planned all along; he had been saving his Free Attribute Points precisely to have a strong start after his promotion to Second Tier.
"Make a choice! Enhance Attribute Values!" Zhang Yanhang had been constrained by the First Tier Limit for too long, and now, he could finally begin significantly increasing his Attribute values. His strength was about to be fully raised to a state befitting a Second Tier after completing Attribute value enhancement.
Would you like to proceed with Attribute Point enhancement?
Option One: Strength +1 point.
Option Two: Agility +1 point.
Option Three: Constitution +1 point.
Option Four: Intelligence +1 point.
Option Five: Charm +1 point.
Zhang Yanhang, re-entering the Time Pause state, looked at the lengthy list of text options before him and started to contemplate his specific allocation strategy.
"First off, increasing Charm is definitely out of the question. As a Sub-attribute, even if the Charm bonus coefficient of the Death Wave Skill truly increases, I would still wait until all my Main Attributes are maxed out before I begin upgrading Sub-attributes."
When it comes to the issue of primary and secondary priorities, Zhang Yanhang has always been very clear.
"Now, I have a total of 54 Free Attribute Points. If evenly distributed among the four Main Attributes, each would increase by 13 points. So, the question is, how should I allocate the remaining two points? Should I add them to the lowest, Intelligence, or split one point each between Constitution and Intelligence?"
Zhang Yanhang seemed slightly conflicted with this decision.
