章 774: 641, Length, Width, Thickness, Hardness, Thickness, Toughness, and Temperature [Second Update]_1
Select a life form?
Chen Xin thought about it and then released his Martial Soul.
Lin Yi: "Want to test with your Martial Soul? First, align your panel to your Martial Soul."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin did as instructed, holding the Seven Kills Sword horizontally in his hands, and then used the blue fluorescent panel to face the Seven Kills Sword.
Surprisingly, some numbers immediately appeared on the panel.
[Seven Kills Sword]
[Hardness: 4256 (-) —— (+)]
[Length: 174 (-) —— (+)]
[Width: 12 (-) —— (+)]
[Blade Thickness: 0.06 (-) —— (+)]
[Temperature: 10 (-) —— (+)]
[Toughness: 384 (-) —— (+)]
Chen Xin was amazed, the reward was actually like this!
Basic attribute values, so it is talking about the sword's length, width, thickness, hardness, toughness, and temperature, right?
And after the values, there are just plus and minus signs, which, as Lin Yi described, can be freely increased or decreased.
Almost without Lin Yi's further explanation, Chen Xin had already understood the meaning of this reward.
He hurriedly asked, "Senior Lin Yi, can these values be increased or decreased indefinitely?"
Chen Xin was somewhat excited; if that was the case, wouldn't that be incredibly strong!
Lin Yi: "No, there are upper and lower limits. What these limits are, specifically, depends on your reward level, that is, the Red Advanced level. You may only be able to add one or two before reaching the limit, or it could take hundreds of thousands, even millions, to reach it."
After hearing this, Chen Xin nodded his head.
He started to aggressively increase the hardness, relentlessly tapping the plus sign as if he was going to poke right through the panel.
Suddenly, Chen Xin stopped his action, the hardness could only be increased to 10,054, then the plus button turned grey.
Chen Xin knew this was the upper limit set by the reward level, and not the actual limit of his Martial Soul, the Seven Kills Sword.
As for length and width, there was no need for change. Altering those would not be practical; it could lead to discomfort. In the line for thickness, Chen Xin fiercely pressed the minus sign, and he found that the thickness was only reduced by 0.001 each time. His finger was almost smoking from the rapid tapping until he finally reduced it to the minimum thickness.
In the end, the thickness was 0.009.
Chen Xin flipped the Seven Kills Sword over to look, his eyes nearly crossed, the blade was incredibly thin!
Toughness was the same; mindlessly adding was the way to go. In the end, toughness could only be increased to 500, which surprised Chen Xin since a lower toughness meant the Martial Soul could break more easily.
As for the temperature, Chen Xin was a bit puzzled.
Should the temperature be increased to the highest or lowered to the minimum?
Extreme temperatures were definitely capable of causing damage.
After some thought, Chen Xin decided to increase the temperature. He kept pressing the plus sign, increasing the temperature from 15 degrees to 1645 degrees!
This made him overjoyed; the upper limit for temperature was so high!
The Seven Kills Sword had become unbearably hot, even distorting the air around it as if it were being scorched, but such a temperature did not affect him at all, as this was his own Martial Soul.
At this very moment, Chen Xin's smile stretched to his ears.
Lin Yi: "In addition to the Martial Soul, you can freely increase or decrease the basic attribute values of any non-living things around you, but it's uncertain which basic attributes will be listed. There might only be one, or there could be a dozen. Of course, the higher the reward level—or the higher the value of the non-living thing—the more options for increasing or decreasing basic attributes will be displayed."
After listening, Chen Xin fell into silent contemplation.
He picked up a stone... It must be said that whenever such a reward appeared, ordinary rocks were always the subjects of experimentation.
On the panel, there were only two basic attributes listed for the stone.
[Stone]
[Hardness: 687（-）——（+）]
[Volume: 0.005（-）——（+）]
Chen Xin stepped down from the platform and placed the stone on the ground. Then he said to everyone else, "Please step back."
He aimed the panel at the stone like a camera and then pressed the plus sign next to the volume fiercely.
The stone placed on the ground began to rapidly increase in volume, but the magnitude of the growth was not as simple as doubling or tripling. Soon even the onlooking crowd couldn't help but tilt their heads back and take step after step backwards as a massive shadow quickly enveloped the scene.
The once small stone had now become a mountain!
However, Lin Yi couldn't help but remind him at this moment, "You don't necessarily have to click the plus and minus signs on the panel; you can directly drag the middle progress bar as well. Drag it to the maximum, or to the minimum, and it'll be much faster."
After hearing this, Chen Xin narrowed his eyes and realized that the middle progress bar could actually be dragged. He almost wanted to punch himself to death; he had been wondering why it was so inefficient when continuously clicking. What should have been a really good reward was almost ruined by this clumsiness.
I must be blind... Chen Xin thought to himself.
He continued to aim at the stone, dragging the volume section toward the minus sign, returning it to its original appearance much more quickly, almost instantaneously.
After some thought, Chen Xin then dragged the hardness section aggressively toward the minus sign, directly dragging it down to 0!
What would a stone with a hardness of 0 look like?
Chen Xin looked down only to see the stone starting to melt and turn into a same-colored liquid pouring onto the ground.
Hardness at 0 meant that it actually turned into a liquid state; however, weight and volume probably hadn't changed. Otherwise, in Chen Xin's view, it would have turned into foam.
"Senior, I have finished experimenting. This reward should bring great enhancement to my Martial Soul."
Lin Yi: "Yeah, but I advise you to spend more time studying Li Bai's Poetry Collection when you have time. The power of transforming sword aura through poetry is the most direct, effective, and truly stunning."
"It's a bit difficult to get that Domain going... But I will do my best!"
Lin Yi: "Believe me, understanding it while drinking a bit of wine will double the effect."
"Yes!"
Chen Xin bowed to show his gratitude.
He was going to launch his second attack of the day.
At this moment, his Martial Soul, the Seven Kills Sword, had already transformed from what it once was.
Hardness max, sharpness max, toughness max, high temperature max; with all these buffs added together, Chen Xin dared not imagine how much the damage would increase by.
For today's second attack, Chen Xin planned to use his first soul skill. Under the Darkened State, using the first soul skill might even surpass the damage of the last attempt.
He summoned the Seven Kills Sword again, and the snow-white blade turned instantly black as ink. His black hair replaced the white, and his robe was covered in enchantments.
The pitch-black Seven Kills Sword, in its scorching state, seemed like a piece of hard charcoal, with strands of white smoke lingering around it. The smoke would disperse again with Chen Xin's shaking of his sword, causing the surrounding air to waver, blurring due to the high temperature.
Chen Xin raised the sword blade, his fierce and scorching aura lifting his own temperament to another level.
"First soul skill, Sword's Edge Emerges!"
His first soul ring rose up, and at the same time, the pitch-black Seven Kills Sword actually ignited black flames!
章 775: 642, The Magical Tool of Immune Energy Form [First Update]_1
Just like the many buffs Tang Chen had added to his body, Chen Xin now had so many buffs as well.
And his Sword Spirit Gan Jiang, after these enhancements appeared, underwent changes or, rather, evolution, time and again.
In his darkened state, Gan Jiang had enhanced all attributes of the spirit soul along with his master, and even his appearance had undergone dramatic changes.
He no longer had a clear facial outline; he seemed to have turned into a humanoid mass of black smoke, with only his eye sockets glowing like two small, blood-red lanterns, looking somewhat creepy—a terror version of a sword spirit.
Chen Xin, holding the Seven Kills Sword ablaze with black flames, walked towards Lin Yi with instantaneous speed quick as a specter, leaving dozens of afterimages behind. The sharp blade cut through the air and landed on Lin Yi's body, the scorching heat burning everything around, but it didn't penetrate Lin Yi's flesh.
However, Chen Xin felt something; previously, when the Seven Kills Sword chopped at Lin Yi, there would always be an extremely strong rebound force, and the whole Seven Kills Sword would tremble wildly, but this time, he found that all of those sensations had disappeared, or were so faint as to be almost non-existent.
Is it because of increased tenacity?
Chen Xin quickly pondered in his mind, while stepping backward to increase the distance, because a layer of golden light was quickly spreading over Lin Yi's body.
In fact, Chen Xin had long since stopped seeing damage rebound as a vexing problem that required too much effort to solve, given that his speed, including his response time, was much stronger than before, not to mention his strength.
After the attack ended, Lin Yi looked at the panel.
[Health Loss: 436,758]
[Remaining Health: 883,044,207,654]
[Damage Level: Red Mid Level (Downgraded)]
[Random Reward: Umbrella of Concealment]
[Host Reward: Umbrella of Concealment (With Attack Ability)]
It seems to be a reward like a magical item.
Lin Yi opened the description to take a look and then said to Chen Xin:
"Damage 436,758, lower than the personal highest damage, reward downgraded, your reward is an item called the Umbrella of Concealment."
After finishing speaking, Lin Yi tossed the ball of red light toward Chen Xin.
The ball of light transformed into a closed umbrella in Chen Xin's hand, entirely black, adorned with slightly protruding, strange golden runes—unrecognizable script.
"The reward has been downgraded, about twenty thousand less than the first damage... Although it's downgraded, the damage is indeed close; it seems that the increase in attributes really brought a significant enhancement."
Chen Xin mumbled to himself while he deactivated his darkened state and then opened the umbrella above his head.
Just then, to everyone's surprise, Chen Xin disappeared; not only was his figure invisible, but even his aura vanished without a trace. Even those with strong spiritual power like Gu Yuena and Qian Renxue were unable to detect him.
And the next moment, Chen Xin reappeared in everyone's field of vision, seemingly because he had lowered the umbrella.
Chen Xin also looked around curiously. He repeated the action of opening and closing the umbrella, watching everyone's reactions and gradually, he seemed to grasp the function of this umbrella.
Lin Yi: "You've probably figured it out, the Umbrella of Concealment, it turns you completely invisible and conceals your aura when opened. But that's just one of its functions."
Chen Xin immediately stepped forward, excitedly asking, "Are there other functions? What are they?"
Lin Yi: "Absolute defense against energy-based attacks. When facing energy-based attacks, it can filter out all their power, reducing damage to zero. Meanwhile, the filtered energy attack can also be transformed into pure Soul Power, transmitted to your hand through the handle of the umbrella, and then absorbed by your body."
"But physical types of attacks can't be blocked, and the defense is only equivalent to that of a regular umbrella."
Hearing this, Chen Xin couldn't help but touch the material of the umbrella. The material didn't seem to pose any issues; it was indiscernible from an ordinary umbrella, the only special feature being the gold protruding runes on the surface of the umbrella.
Lin Yi, "Want to give it a try?"
Chen Xin thought for a moment, then nodded, "Let's test the energy form; there's no need for the physical one."
Only a fool would test a physical attack—test it once and it's over.
As for attacks in the form of energy, the most persuasive demonstration on the scene belonged to Gu Yuena. Without waiting for Lin Yi to invite her, Gu Yuena voluntarily stepped forward.
"Fine, fine, I'll do it, okay? So boring."
Gu Yuena came out unwillingly, and as she lifted her hand towards Chen Xin, a light began to flicker in her palm. Chen Xin immediately shouted, "Dragon Lady Senior, please wait, I haven't opened the umbrella yet!"
But Gu Yuena didn't listen at all. With electric sparks in her palm, a burst of purple lightning roared and shot directly towards Chen Xin.
Luckily, at the last moment, Chen Xin had fully opened the umbrella and held it in front, and when everyone expected a loud bang, they were surprised to see the energy in the form of lightning directly enter the surface of the umbrella without making a sound, as if it sunk into the ocean. The gold runes on the umbrella flickered, and soon, white light spread inside along the handle and quickly flowed into Chen Xin's body.
It was just like the Sect Master's Soul Power Flash Charge ability!
The white light was the transformed soul power, and the soul power Chen Xin had just consumed in the attack was fully replenished.
Such a powerful umbrella rendered those completely reliant on energy form attacks utterly incapable of achieving their goal. Instead, the more you attack me, the more I peak.
Chen Xin stored the umbrella properly and thanked both Gu Yuena and Lin Yi.
His own attack complete, Emperor Xueye promptly volunteered as the next attacker.
In his tattered and disordered clothes, with a broken bowl in his left hand and a cane in his right, his disheveled and filthy appearance made him look more like a beggar than most of the actual beggars nowadays.
After all, just yesterday, Emperor Xueye had savored the sweetness of a 70% damage increase, satisfied by a mere ninth soul skill.
"Your Majesty, why aren't you coming up on stage yet?"
Gu Rong couldn't help but turn his head and ask.
Emperor Xueye appeared somewhat eager as he stood to the side, shaking the bowl in his hand he said, "Just wait, I'm getting in the zone."
Gu Rong quickly understood what Emperor Xueye meant by "getting in the zone."
"Kind sir, please show some generosity, spare some change."
"Kind sir, have a heart, give me some food to eat."
"I haven't eaten for several days, starving and struggling on the streets."
...
Gu Rong, with an expressionless face, listened as Emperor Xueye recited these beggar's lines to him.
This was a requirement for role-playing, where one must perform five actions fitting the character every day to prove the authenticity of the character setup, in order to receive the damage increase. Otherwise, one would have to wait a full week to regain the bonus.
Actions proving the character setup, in Emperor Xueye's case, involved begging for food, asking for money, lamenting his tragic past... which were precisely the five things Emperor Xueye did yesterday.
