On the rock, Chen Chong sat motionless like a sculpture, but his heart was already surging.
He didn't expect the situation to take such a dramatic turn. After the upgrade, the main god unexpectedly underwent such astonishing changes!
Originally, Chen Chong planned to find a way to contact awakened individuals after leaving the wilderness, in order to learn how to enhance his own power. But now, the main god in his mind has undoubtedly opened up a broader and incredible path for him!
Suppressing his excitement, Chen Chong carefully read and analyzed the data of the [** Skill Category] word by word.
The newly appeared ** skills are not complete, only a few of them. They were probably completed by the main god after fusing the fragments. And immediately after, Chen Chong received a supplementary feedback message:
[Enhancement function missing. Unable to perform intensive training. Translating the data to fit the rules of the universe requires the consumption of manifestation power.]
"All the content displayed in the ** skill category is not directly enhanced, but rather their detailed training methods!"
Chen Chong suddenly had a realization in his heart:
"Consuming manifestation power, translating to fit the rules of the universe... it means translating these ** skills into a way I can understand, so that I can truly practice them?"
Although it wasn't the intense strengthening Chen Chong initially thought of, the joy in his heart didn't diminish in the slightest.
Apparently, even after fusing a fragment, the current main god is still pitifully incomplete, only slightly better than before.
However, Chen Chong didn't feel any disappointment. The fact that he could have the fantasy of practicing these ** skills was already a pleasant surprise. Regardless of how twisty this road may be, it was incredibly precious to him at this moment.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Chong once again focused his attention on the list of ** skills.
Among the five contents brought by the fragments, the one Chen Chong was most familiar with was the [Eight Gates of Dunjia] from the Naruto world. The power of this advanced body technique was naturally astonishing, almost leading to a big finale. However, its flaw was also obvious: killing one thousand enemies while sacrificing eight hundred oneself, which imposed a heavy burden on the body. Moreover, the information clearly indicated that the prerequisite for [Eight Gates of Dunjia] was the chakra system.
After some thought, Chen Chong immediately gave up.
The [Blood Blade Flying Claw], attacking with one's own blood, was also a self-harming skill and had the lowest evaluation. Chen Chong skipped it directly.
Then, Chen Chong focused all his attention on the C-rank [Adamantine Unbreakable God Technique], the C+ rank [Pneumatic Cannon Fist], and the highest-rated among all the contents, the ** [Ultimate Limitless Qigong]!
"[Ultimate Limitless Qigong], no prerequisites, no aptitude requirements, simulates electric current propulsion with true qi, generates electricity from magnetism, advances to magnetic field rotation..."
There was no doubt that Chen Chong was completely drawn to the ** [Ultimate Limitless Qigong], a ** technique of extraordinary height. His heart was filled with joy as if he had received a great gift!
[Ultimate Limitless Qigong] came from the Hong Kong comic "Wu Shen". Chen Chong, who used to be a half otaku, had read it before and had a deep impression of the immensely powerful [Magnetic Field Rotation] in it.
In the comic, [Magnetic Field Rotation] was a cultivatable innate superpower that not everyone could possess. As long as one could obtain and practice it, they could strengthen their body, reorganize cells, read thoughts, manipulate matter, control natural phenomena... and so on. It could be said to be omnipotent in the land, sea, air, and universe, with a terrifying upper limit of power! And this [Ultimate Limitless Qigong] took a different approach, simulating electric current propulsion in the ancient martial arts qigong, ultimately mastering the cosmic greatness of magnetic field rotation. When cultivated to the highest level, one could reach the realm of "500,000 horses worth of anti-gravity".
From 1 to 1 million horses in magnetic field rotation: 250,000 horses breaking stars, 500,000 horses anti-gravity, 750,000 horses atomic fission, until the ultimate realm of 990,000 horses, and the self-destruction realm of 1 million horses. Although [Ultimate Limitless Qigong] couldn't reach the height of the original magnetic field rotation, it had the great advantage of being practicable for ordinary people.
This was it!
Although it was unclear whether this [Ultimate Limitless Qigong] would have the terrifying power shown in the comic, Chen Chong didn't hesitate and immediately chose it.
Suppressing his excited emotions, Chen Chong once again shifted his focus to the other two ** skills.
The C+ rated [Pneumatic Cannon Fist] didn't leave much of an impression on Chen Chong, but based on its description, it was a set of fierce, wild, direct and straightforward martial arts skills with formidable destructive power.
And the name "Adamantine Unbreakable God Technique" immediately reminded Chen Chong of Tianxia Diyi, the top-notch character. After displaying the invincible Adamantine Unbreakable, one would become impervious to knives and spears, invulnerable to water and fire, and possess boundless strength. It was equally mind-blowing. However, this [Adamantine Unbreakable God Technique] did not specify its origin, but the main god's introduction had already stated that it was an unparalleled martial skill in any martial arts world.
Unbreakable like diamond, indestructible. The incredible physical defense brought by this mighty martial art technique also made Chen Chong yearn for it.
"One set of ancient martial arts qigong, one set of formidable external martial skills, and one attacking method!"
Chen Chong's eyes lit up as if he had won the jackpot. For Chen Chong, who had experienced hellish beginnings and continuous misfortunes since crossing over, to have three ** skills that could almost make him all-round powerful was like a weakling finally turning the tide, experiencing a reversal of fortune, and entering a time of sweetness after hardships.
In the next moment, with Chen Chong's mental selection, the main god's feedback came:
Manifestation power required for translating [Ultimate Limitless Qigong]: 1000 units
Manifestation power required for translating [Adamantine Unbreakable God Technique]: 200 units
Manifestation power required for translating [Pneumatic Cannon Fist]: 300 units
"It will cost a total of 1500 units of manifestation power..."
After pondering for a moment, Chen Chong temporarily chose not to have the main god translate them. Because merely translating the data information required relatively low manifestation power consumption. If the main god had the ability to directly strengthen, it would probably require at least ten times more energy.
This time, the main god fused a fragment, not only enriching some props and adding ** skill categories, but also seemingly replenishing the main god with the energy accumulated in the fragment. The reserve of manifestation power also increased significantly, reaching 3124 units from almost running out of energy.
But Chen Chong understood that although 3124 units seemed like a lot, it couldn't be casually consumed and required careful planning.
Suppressing the immediate excitement in his heart, Chen Chong once again brought up the list of items to see how it had changed.
After merging a fragment, the item information was also supplemented, and three new exchangeable fantasy props appeared on the list.
[Senzu Bean]: From the Dragon Ball world, it quickly restores physical strength, repairs injuries to a certain extent, replenishes energy, and guarantees no hunger for ten days. (1000/3124)
[Weighted Wrist Guard]: A technological prop that automatically adjusts the gravitational field, training the user's speed and strength through weight training. (800/3124)
[Bag of Qiankun (Fake)]: A batch imitation of one of the ten ancient divine artifacts, the Bag of Qiankun, from the prehistoric world. The only function is space storage, with an internal size of ten cubic meters. (2000/3124)
There is no doubt that among the three new items, the most valuable one is the Bag of Qiankun, which can exchange for 2000 manifestation units. This portable space equipment can undoubtedly provide unparalleled strategic value no matter where it is used.
Next is the Senzu Bean from the Dragon Ball world. This item has incredible healing effects in the manga. It can instantly repair most non-lethal injuries, but it is ineffective against diseases.
The last Weighted Wrist Guard seems to be some kind of high-tech prop, with its main function being to assist in cultivation. However, it is not very meaningful for Chen Chong at the moment.
After scanning through them, Chen Chong's mind was clear, and he made a decisive decision without much consideration:
"Exchange, Senzu Bean!"
Hum!
As he gave the command to the main god, experiencing the same strange sensation of distorted vision and soul detachment as when he manifested the Super Divine Water before, Chen Chong once again felt a thumb-sized bean appeared out of thin air in front of him, landing in his hand without any warning.
After witnessing the magical effects of the Super Divine Water before, Chen Chong didn't hesitate at all. He immediately swallowed the Senzu Bean in his hand!
Currently, the wilderness was full of dangers, and he had not completely escaped from danger yet. His partially disabled arm and two broken ribs greatly affected his condition. In such a situation, the instantly healing Senzu Bean was undoubtedly his first choice, even if it required spending 1000 manifestation units!
Crackling.
Just a few seconds after swallowing the Senzu Bean, a strange sensation erupted from his abdomen, instantly spreading through Chen Chong's limbs and bones. Whether it was damaged muscle tissue or broken arm and rib bones, they all began to heal in the blink of an eye, accompanied by a faint crackling sound.
Within a few seconds, all the fatigue and pain on his body miraculously disappeared. Although he was mentally prepared, Chen Chong couldn't help but move his left arm in disbelief, feeling incredibly strong and energetic.
"One Senzu Bean is equivalent to an extra life!"
Amidst Chen Chong's astonishment, he found it strange that the evaluation of Senzu Beans seemed average in the main god's description, requiring only 1000 manifestation units to exchange for one. This puzzled him. However, thinking about how characters in the Dragon Ball world, despite their great power, often had fragile bodies and were not much different from ordinary people in terms of physical resilience without Qi, Chen Chong understood.
Repairing a steel fortress and repairing a wooden hut are not on the same level of difficulty. The main god's description of the Senzu Bean also subtly revealed its limitations.
"Just a fragment caused such incredible changes in the main god. If more fragments can be found and repaired, the main god's database should become more abundant and unlock more abilities!"
Thinking of this, excitement surged in Chen Chong's heart:
"The main god fragments in this world are definitely not limited to the one I encountered. There should be more!"
For Chen Chong, the main god fragments not only represented more rare fantasy props but also meant a replenishment of manifestation units. The current main god was like Chen Chong's personal super brain, devoid of any consciousness and purely a tool. With the integration of the fragments and the replenishment of manifestation units, the main god as a tool could play a bigger role.
So far, Chen Chong has not figured out the principle of manifestation unit growth. It took him more than three months of experimentation and suffering to accumulate over 1000 units of manifestation. Compared to that, finding more main god fragments to integrate would undoubtedly be more convenient and beneficial.
But this idea was just a passing thought for Chen Chong.
With a flash of thought, his physical and mental state had already returned to its best. Chen Chong didn't think about it anymore and leaped down from the rock.
Chen Chong didn't rush to exchange the remaining manifestation units for the three selected techniques. Instead, he stored them for emergencies. Obviously, without direct reinforcement, it would take him a long time to comprehend and practice any of the techniques. Even if Chen Chong were to exchange [Ultimate Infinite Qi Gong], it wouldn't immediately transform into combat power.
In the dangerous wilderness, he didn't know what other dangers he might encounter. The Senzu Bean was undoubtedly the life-saving prop that could turn the tide. The remaining 2124 units of manifestation were considered as his last resort. The translation and cultivation of techniques could only wait until they left the wilderness.
Afterwards, Chen Chong gathered a small bundle of large tree roots on the edge of the bone pool and strapped them to his back.
After eating the Senzu Bean, Chen Chong wouldn't feel hungry for ten days. However, Chen Chong was cautious and liked to be prepared for unexpected situations, so he brought a lot of supplies without affecting his mobility.
Looking back at the silent golden tree behind him, Chen Chong felt a sense of emotion. He felt that his bad luck seemed to have finally turned around from this point.
"Until we meet again!"
Chen Chong turned around and laughed heartily, holding a tactical knife and carrying the bundle of tree roots on his back. He strode forward confidently, his steps filled with determination and confidence. In an instant, his figure completely disappeared into the mist.
...
Two hours later, in the underground base, the experimental area, in the test hall.
Most of the guards in the base had gathered here at this moment. Each guard's head was hanging low, their bodies tense, and their expressions extremely nervous.
In the hall, you could hear a pin drop.
"You mean to say that besides these four dead prisoners, you haven't captured a single living one, and even Johnson is missing?"
In front of the four bodies dressed in prison uniforms, Supervisor Derris stood silently.
His calm and dark gaze swept across the numerous guards in the hall like an abyss, like knives in the cold wind, cutting straight into their hearts. A inexplicable chill rose in the hearts of all the guards, even though they had strong mental resilience. No one dared to lift their heads and meet those eyes.
