"I have 3637 Soul points left, which is almost enough to upgrade the Supreme Will Skill to LV.7, but I’ll wait until next time to do that," Zhang Yanhang thought to himself. "Once I’ve collected enough Soul points, I’ll boost the Supreme Will Skill straight to LV.MAX in one go."
Next, Zhang Yanhang planned to gather the Soul points needed to upgrade the Supreme Will Skill first, then start raising the level of his Limitless Universe Skill. After all, when he originally devised his leveling plan, there were three skills to consider, and now that both the Death Wave and Indestructible Golden Body had reached LV.MAX, naturally, the next priority would be to upgrade the Supreme Will.
"I remember that at the First Tier Period, the highest my Life Value Limit ever got was only about eight hundred points, but now it has risen to two thousand two hundred points, roughly a 1.75 fold increase. Perhaps it’s because the base value during the First Tier was quite large, it seems like the increase isn’t very significant."
The reason why Zhang Yanhang said the First Tier base was quite large was because he had consumed too much Yellow Medicine Grass. An ordinary Awakener could at most raise their Constitution Attribute to twenty-five points, yielding a Life Value of just three hundred seventy-five points.
But Zhang Yanhang, due to having taken too much Yellow Medicine Grass, had forcibly raised his Life Value Limit to eight hundred points, more than double that of an ordinary Awakener. This was why, despite significantly raising his Life Value Limit upon reaching the Second Tier, the multiple of increase didn’t seem that high after comparison.
By the way, since the Constitution Attribute upper limit for a Second Tier Awakener is fifty points, under normal circumstances, a Second Tier Awakener can have a maximum of one thousand points Life Value Limit. That is only two hundred points higher than what he had during his First Tier Period.
After a simple comparison, Zhang Yanhang suddenly found that the gap in Life Value Limit compared to ordinary Awakeners wasn’t that great—only a 1.2 times difference.
"Sigh, by this calculation, my current Life Value Limit is indeed too low. In the future, perhaps I should look for more Artifacts and Equipment that can increase the Life Value Limit. If I can’t even overwhelm an ordinary Awakener, I won’t be able to live peacefully even after retirement."
Zhang Yanhang felt he had to at least raise his Life Value Limit to roughly three times that of an ordinary Awakener to gain some sense of security.
Because with that, if he could later upgrade Technique Immunity to LV.MAX as well, his Shield Value Limit could almost reach ten times the Life Value Limit of an ordinary Awakener.
Once he had a Shield Value Limit equivalent to ten times the Life Value Limit of an ordinary Awakener, Zhang Yanhang reckoned that even if he were attacked by several dozen Awakeners at once, there probably wouldn’t be much of a problem. Discover more novels at n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
"Normally, isn’t it only the villainous big BOSS who get ganged up on by so many people? Why am I voluntarily putting myself in that position?"
Zhang Yanhang felt that if he did end up in a situation where he was attacked by dozens of Awakeners, it would likely be in self-defense. Since they would be the ones initiating the attack, it would be quite reasonable for him to take them all down, right? He might even need to thoroughly obliterate them to prevent any potential Resurrection tricks.
Of course, since it was peaceful Within the Empire, Zhang Yanhang felt the possibility of encountering such a situation was small. Such an unfortunate event would probably occur only outside the Empire’s borders, where some shortsighted foreigners might come looking for death.
"It reminds me that there were Awakeners in the chat group inviting others to explore foreign Ashen Worlds. Apparently, depending on the location, the Transmission Channels opened there could connect to Ashen Worlds with more Exotic Realm flavor."
Zhang Yanhang knew this might be a bit hard to understand but to give an example, although Transmission Channels opened Within the Empire could connect to the First Meditation Heaven of the Color Realm (a world from Hinduism’s Exotic Realms, divided into the Desire Realm and the Color Realm) where the Hindu Sect Hierarch, Brahma, resides.
However, compared to Within the Empire, the chances of encountering Transmission Channels that connect to the Brahma Realm are much higher within India itself.
The reverse is true as well; for example, Transmission Channels that appear Within the Empire have a higher likelihood of connecting to places like the Heavenly Court, whereas the chances are significantly lower for India to connect to the Heavenly Court.
Because of these regional differences, Transmission Channels leading to foreign Ashen Worlds do indeed have a certain degree of Exotic Realm flair and racial characteristics.
These regional differences further extend to environmental ones. For example, Qin Island City, being a coastal city, encounters more Transmission Channels connected to oceanic regions of the Ashen World than cities inland.
Zhang Yanhang remembered that before he entered the Ashen World, he had seen Awakeners in the chat group discussing how they enjoyed a five-meter-wide crab and a three-meter-long lobster in the Ashen World the day before. After forming a group of five and entering the Ashen World, they ate so much that they were forced to promptly return to the Main World.
Moreover, other Awakeners in the group often shared information about oceanic regions, indirectly confirming the environmental impact on Transmission Channels.
If you ask why Zhang Yanhang hadn’t encountered Transmission Channels to oceanic regions like other Awakeners, the reason is simple: he had come across too few Transmission Channels so far, only two in fact. If he found several more new Transmission Channels, he would certainly encounter ones to oceanic regions as well.
Of course, since he wasn’t particularly interested in seafood, even if Zhang Yanhang did come across a Transmission Channel to an oceanic region, it was unlikely he would end up like those group members who gave up hunting Monsters because they overate.
"I’m suddenly curious to see what the Ashen Worlds connected to foreign Transmission Channels are like. Unfortunately, I can’t return to the Main World right now, so the experience of Exotic Realms will have to wait until I have more time."
Zhang Yanhang’s desire to visit was mainly because the two Transmission Channels he had encountered thus far had long intervals between them, one every four days and the other every five days. With these days in between without much to do, considering going to foreign Ashen Worlds to hunt Monsters for some extra income wasn’t out of the question.
After reviewing his data panel, Zhang Yanhang suddenly remembered he hadn’t experienced the Indestructible Golden Body Skill at LV.MAX yet, and promptly activated the Indestructible Golden Body Skill.
