Chapter 108: Chapter 101: Talent Advanced! Spiritual Power–Sacred Body! (Part 2)

“Because I have extraordinary talent, my Long Weapon Specialty Level has already reached Level 4. Continuing to train this specialty doesn’t offer much benefit to me. It’s better to learn magic to compensate for my shortcomings and have one more method in future battles,” Ye Mingqiu replied.

“Oh.”

Tang Ruobing returned to her usual aloof self and said cleanly and efficiently, “I understand. I’ll get the skill book for you as soon as possible.”

She stood up, holding the [Ancient God’s Aura], and left the training room with steady and swift steps.

…

Afterwards, Ye Mingqiu began practicing Soldier Zen in his exclusive training room, trying to deeply perceive the changes in the Blood Spear, figuring out how to use it in combat for greater benefits, to settle opponents more effectively, and to continually optimize his state.

After school, he donned a mask and went to the Floating World Commerce Association to handle the remaining equipment he had, with a total revenue of 7548 Spiritual Points. It wasn’t much, mostly due to the low-level junk being consumed by the Eye of Omaragon Khan.

The increase in Soul Strength wasn’t much, but Soul Strength is vastly different from other Basic Attributes; there’s virtually no way to increase it, and items that can enhance Soul Strength are frighteningly expensive. Consuming some junk to improve Soul Strength was already very cost-effective.

Still too poor…

Back home, he placed the Emergency Syringe X, which he had bought using some Spiritual Points, on the table. This item is the enhanced version of the emergency syringe from the school infirmary, with a stronger effect, but also more expensive.

Each one costs 100 Spiritual Points and can restore 1000 Life in a short time. The advantage is the quick and strong effect, but the downside is that it is too potent and can damage the meridians. Using it during battle is akin to suicide and can only be used for urgent healing.

Ye Mingqiu directly bought ten, just in case Life wasn’t enough; buying more wasn’t a waste, as it could be used next time if not fully used this time. After all, adding points to the Talent Panel isn’t a one-time thing.

Open the Talent Panel!

Spiritual Power – Limit Breaking (B)+

It’s decided, it’s you!

Spiritual Power – Limit Breaking, add points to it for me!!

“Ah~”

The familiar feeling came again, as Spiritual Energy and Life quickly waned, and the feeling of metamorphosis from talent advancement erupted, a feeling both painful and blissful.

He felt like a butterfly struggling to break free from its cocoon, coming into a new transformation and rebirth with the exhaustion of Life.

Initiate Emergency Syringe X!

….

Half an hour later, Ye Mingqiu injected two Emergency Syringes X successfully advancing his talent.

[Your Talent Spiritual Power – Limit Breaking has advanced]

[You acquired the talent: Spiritual Power – Overlimit]

Spiritual Power – Limit Breaking → Spiritual Power – Overlimit

Level: B → A

Effect: Spiritual Power Limit increases to 200%, Spiritual Power Recovery Speed increases by 50%, efficiency of accumulating Spiritual Power is halved when the total exceeds 100%.

↓

Effect: Spiritual Power Limit increases to 250%, Spiritual Power Recovery Speed increases 100%, when total Spiritual Power reaches 200%, overflowing Spiritual Power will continuously protect oneself, Control Resistance boosts, Abnormal Status Resistance enhances.

[Hint: Your Talent Spiritual Power – Overlimit and Spiritual Power – Bursting have high compatibility, automatically fusing for advancement]

[You acquired the talent: Spiritual Power – Sacred Body]

Spiritual Power – Sacred Body

Level: S

Effect: Enhances Spirit, Constitution, Total Spiritual Power, and Spiritual Power Strength by 30%, boosts Spiritual Power Recovery Speed by 100%.

Surge: For every 1% of Spiritual Power Value, Power, Agility, and Spiritual Strength increase by 0.4%.

Overlimit: Spiritual Power Limit rises to 250%, when Total Spiritual Power hits 150%, overflow Spiritual Power continuously guards oneself, improves Control Resistance, enhances Abnormal Status Resistance, and immunizes against 1% fixed damage of current Spiritual Power.

Woohoo, takeoff!

The strength of Spiritual Power – Sacred Body has greatly increased compared to the separate Spiritual Power – Bursting and Spiritual Power – Overlimit. Firstly, there’s the permanent bonus, 30% to Spirit, Constitution, and Spiritual Power Strength; this increased amplification is already very high, higher than [Unparalleled Divine Bravery] in worth.

Moreover, the strength of Overlimit has also increased; originally the passive triggered only when Total Spiritual Power exceeded 200%, now activation occurs with 150%, a major mechanism optimization.

More importantly, it can now immunize against 1% fixed damage of current Spiritual Power! That’s a considerable passive effect introduced out of the blue!

Although Ye Mingqiu’s Spiritual Energy isn’t as abundant as Life, he felt distinctly that this was indeed a number-cruncher type talent, with not only various multipliers but also high values, making the S-Level Talent [Unparalleled Divine Bravery] appear rookie-like in comparison.

However, this doesn’t come without a price; maintaining high Spiritual Energy is required to support the tremendous increases, compared to the unconditional 50% Power increase, it’s still a matter of trade-offs.

Moreover, the Power increase of Unparalleled Divine Bravery, granted by amplification multipliers, is in a noble judgment zone, compared to Power, Spiritual Power Strength, Spiritual Strength, etc., a more exquisite one, although the permanent 50% Buff might seem lesser in value.

But…

Spiritual Power – Sacred Body provides so much!

30% Spirit, Constitution, Total Spiritual Power, 100% Spiritual Strength, 30% Spiritual Power Strength, 100% Spiritual Power Recovery Speed, 100% Power, and Agility.

It offers too much!

Although higher Spiritual Strength is more suitable for using magic, casting spells would reduce Spiritual Power, consequently lessening attribute amplifications, creating an internal conflict, but its high value sufficiently overshadows the flaw. This showcases S-Level talent.

Ye Mingqiu’s Basic Attributes were high, yet his Constitution and Spirit always lacked base amplification. Previously, his Spirit amplification was always 0, Constitution 30%, hence the attributes weren’t particularly high. With Spiritual Power – Sacred Body, a qualitative transformation is anticipated.

Constitution: 64.8

Spirit: 57.4

After talent advancement, his Constitution and Spirit attributes spiked significantly; Ye Mingqiu even felt ready to challenge a Dominator Powerhouse of the same level, given his current values.

However, this excitement didn’t last long, as he soon calmed himself again; the improved Physical Attribute rendered him substantially more resilient to hits, and the elevated Mental Attribute sharpened his perception, intuition becoming keener.

His attack power was still lacking; he still needed sufficiently strong Passive Skills or purchase Basic Enhancement Potions enhancing Power or Agility attributes, yet his current Spiritual Points might not suffice.

Sigh! Still too poor!

I hope Lin Feng applies for a student loan soon, then transfers the Spiritual Points to me, enabling me to afford Attribute Enhancement Items, achieving mutual success.

….

The next day, Ye Mingqiu stood in his exclusive training room, casting to hone his skills with the [Ruby Staff], minutely adjusted from the Blood Spear form.

“Fireball Skill.”

Instantaneously, several fireballs materialized almost at once, aggressively colliding with the targets at a tremendous speed, producing a series of “bang bang bang bang…” explosions, scorching the targets black.

Tang Ruobing, who initially had her head down reading, suddenly lifted her head sharply, bewildered as she gazed at him, softly muttering, “This… doesn’t seem right? Why do I feel his Spiritual Strength is at least over a hundred? How is he stronger than a Level 2 Mage? He wasn’t this strong before…”

Ye Mingqiu seemed to sense the unusual gaze from behind and turned around, revealing an exceedingly radiant smile, saying, “Don’t be surprised, I have extraordinary talent, so it’s normal for my improvement to be slightly faster.”

“….”

Tang Ruobing was briefly silent, then exhibited a confident smile, closing her book and placing it on the table, turning towards the door.

“Are you going to finish learning early?”

Ye Mingqiu asked in surprise.

Tang Ruobing was always diligent and serious about learning, always striving to acquire as much knowledge as possible, practicing meditation, and engaging in magic spell simulations.

Such a studious person was actually leaving the training room early?

“Yes, I have something to handle, I’ll be back soon.”

Tang Ruobing answered casually.

“What is it?”

Ye Mingqiu inquired curiously.

“Going to challenge Feng Xinglie, the top title in the Magic System of our age should probably change,” Tang Ruobing replied nonchalantly, as if discussing a trivial matter.

“Huh?”

“You’re not the only one with extraordinary talent,” Tang Ruobing slowly revealed a gentle smile, full of confidence and composure.
