Chapter 664 Upgrade, full-scale crazy upgrade

[Perspective Insight Level 3 upgraded!]

[Perspective Insight lv3 → Perspective Insight lv4 (1/50000)]

[Perspective Insight lv4: Break through the illusion and see the essence of everything.]

[Your eyes have transcended the boundaries of matter, and your field of vision can penetrate any inanimate object (such as walls, armor) up to 40 cm thick, and can instantly analyze its internal structural weaknesses (such as metal fatigue points and stone cracks).

The observation of living things is no longer limited to static anatomy, but has advanced to the visualization of dynamic energy veins.

You can observe the three-element flow of "Qi", "Blood" and "Shen" in the body in real time:

The path of Qi infusion when muscles exert force (predicting the opponent's moves)

Weak points where blood collects (such as the space between heartbeats)

Energy ripples caused by mental fluctuations (perceiving murderous intent, fear, and other emotions)]

[Motion Capture Level 3 has been upgraded!]

[Motion Capture Level 3 → Motion Capture Level 4 (1/50000)]

[Motion Capture Level 4: Instantaneous martial arts performance, peering through the abyss of time.]

[Your visual nerves have reached the limit of mortals. They are no longer limited to capturing "movements", but can directly analyze the laws of "movement" itself.

1. Based on all current physical information (muscle contraction, airflow disturbance), you can instantly deduce all possible action branches within the next 0.5 seconds in your mind and make anticipatory responses.

2. In your eyes, every move is a decomposable mechanical structure:

Automatically marks incorrect force application, center of gravity flaws and other movement errors. Combined with perspective insight level 4, there is a certain probability of reversely deducing the opponent's martial arts (incomplete version).

3. When you witness others performing martial arts, your eyes will automatically break down and restore the essence of the movements.

One can grasp the form and spirit of a low-grade martial art by observing it once, and one can imitate the form of a high-grade martial art by observing it three times. With the help of clairvoyance at level 4, one can even secretly learn the methods of meridian qi and blood circulation.

This was undoubtedly an unexpected joy. These two abilities that relied on vision were also upgraded due to the improvement of perception, and were obviously much stronger than at level 3.

In short, [Perspective Insight] is closer to a castrated version of the Byakugan, while [Motion Capture] basically completes the basic functions of the Sharingan.

"Now, the Byakugan, Sharingan, and Mangekyō, although they are not yet complete versions, but, with the three eyes in hand, hehe——"

Feng Mu's smile became even more ferocious in pain.

Then, another line of subtitles that made his pupils shrink slowly appeared:

[Agent's Gift lv1 upgraded!]

[Agent's Gift lv1→Agent's Gift lv2]

[Agent's Gift LV2: Faith is the bridge, blessings are like tides.]

[Ability sublimation:

Your will has been transformed into a clearer "seed of grace", which not only gives you power, but also begins to weave an invisible network connecting you with all believers.

You begin to transform from "the giver" to "the source of divine grace."]

[New effects:

Gift of Attunement (Active)

You can now fine-tune the powers you bestow. Grant 1-3 "skills" to your followers at any time, and when granting abilities, you can choose their inheritance level (within a precise range of 50%-99%).

Lowering the inheritance level will reduce your mental load, allowing you to maintain connections with more believers at the same time; increasing the inheritance level will allow you to create more powerful "saints", but will take up more of your mental energy.]

[Echo of Faith (Passive)

When all believers use the abilities you have bestowed upon them, their insights, innovations, and breakthroughs will be synchronized with your consciousness in real time and vaguely.]

[Resonance Network (Passive)

You can sense the presence and status of all believers. When multiple believers are within a certain range, they will experience a faint resonance due to your gift.

You can choose to actively activate this network, allowing believers to vaguely sense each other's locations.]

[Gift Recovery (Active)

You no longer have to wait for a follower to die to reclaim the last of their experience.

You can take the initiative to sever the gift connection, forcibly take back the granted ability, and immediately gain all the practice experience of the believer for this ability so far.

(P.S. However, this action will cause a huge impact on the believer's mind or body, and may even lead to death or dementia.)

[Price Warning:

Maintaining too many believers at the same time will continue to consume your mental energy, and may cause mild auditory hallucinations (believers praying) and distraction.

Forcibly reclaiming the gift may cause the believers to curse you with despair and resentment, and these negative emotions have a certain probability of backfire on you.

If believers abuse the gifts and commit evil deeds, the karma they create may be partially traced back to you, the source of power.]

[——I hold your spearhead, but I also hold the reins; your path forward is an extension of my way.]

Obviously, the power of the "Agency Gift" is directly related to the strength of the soul.

After this marrow cleansing, the essence of the soul was enhanced, and this gift was also upgraded, and all aspects of the ability were significantly strengthened.

Now, he can catalyze the growth of agents at a faster rate, which means that those agents that he originally thought would take several years to cultivate before they could be put into use may soon be able to be put to use.

The only problem is that some of the wording in the capability description is still a bit vague.

Descriptions such as "the saints will occupy my spirit" made Feng Mu feel suspicious.

But now is not the time to conduct a thorough test, because the upgrade has not yet stopped, and the waves of pain in my soul continue to surge...

Feng Mu was truly in extreme pain at this moment, but he also shed tears of extreme surprise.

Those were the physical tears of extreme pain, and also the uncontrollable catharsis when surprise reached its peak.

He found that he had never loved pain and longed for pain as much as he did at that moment.

If possible, he would even be willing to immerse himself forever in this extreme pleasure of pain and crazy growth of strength.

pity……

This seems to be the limit of the efficacy of the marrow cleansing pill.

The soul-tearing pain in his body, after reaching a peak, finally began to slowly subside. Although the speed of subsidence was not fast, it was indeed weakening bit by bit.

"Is that... here?

"Feng Mu bared his teeth, and his smile, mixed with bloodshot and madness, became more and more morbid.

He refocused all his attention on the constantly jumping attribute panel, like the most greedy dragon watching his own wildly growing wealth, hoping that the number would jump a little longer, a little longer...

Strength and agility were the first to stop beating. Soon, only physique and spirit were still beating. As they beat slower and slower, lines of subtitles flashed before his eyes:

[The first-level gene lock shackles have been forcibly released!]

[The inferior gene sequence was partially optimized and re-edited.]

[Physical fitness is about to undergo an explosive leap...]

[Physical indicators rise sharply!]

[Permanently increase Constitution by +3!]

[Permanently increase Constitution by +2!]

[Permanently increase Constitution by +2!]

[Physique permanently increases by +1!]

[Physique permanently increases by +1!]

[Physique permanently increases by +1!]

[……]

[Your physique has broken through the constraints of its first-order genes, unlocking a physique-related entry. You can choose one from the following three entries.]

[Turtle and Crane Longevity (Silver)]

[Your life force is as enduring as a tortoise and crane. Every time your physical attributes break through a genetic barrier, your maximum health is permanently increased by 15%, and your natural health regeneration speed is increased by 20%.]

[Immortal Barrier (Silver)]

[For each piece of Constitution/Defense equipment you equip, the physical damage you take is reduced by 2% (multiply and stack), and for every 10 points of Constitution, you gain an additional point of resistance to all elements.]

[Unyielding (Silver)]

[Every time you recover from being near death (HP below 5%) in battle, your Constitution will be permanently increased by 1 point and all negative control status will be reset (limited to 1 per battle).

After this effect is triggered 10 times cumulatively, you will gain an additional passive ability - immediately recover 20% of your maximum health when near death.]

Feng Mu stared at the three entries. His luck was pretty good this time as the three unlocked entries were all silver.

He didn't think for too long and immediately ruled out [Turtle and Crane Longevity (Silver)].

Its effectiveness depends on breaking through the genetic lock, the growth cycle is too long, and the increase in each breakthrough is relatively fixed. In the long run, its growth potential is actually the lowest among the three.

Then, he ruled out [Unyielding (Silver)], as the triggering condition was too harsh and dangerous - near-death state?

As a villain boss determined to reach the top, his creed is to nip danger in the bud. How can he pin his hopes of becoming stronger on repeatedly falling into desperate situations?

This is seriously inconsistent with his steady style, not to mention that it happened 10 times in total.

The most crucial thing is that the passive ability to recover health when near death conflicts with [Blood Frenzy], which he cannot accept.

Therefore, Feng Mu finally chose [Immortal Barrier (Silver)]. Even though he currently does not have any physical equipment, he believes that he has a promising future.

The natural correspondence to the physique is:

[The first-level gene lock shackles have been forcibly released!]

[The inferior gene sequence was partially optimized and re-edited.]

[The spirit is about to complete an explosive leap...]

[Spiritual indicators rise sharply!]

[Permanent increase of spirit +3!]

[Permanent increase of spirit +3!]

[……]

[Your spirit has broken through the shackles of its first-order genes, unlocking a spirit-related entry. You can choose one from the following three entries.]

[Mirror of the Heart Lake (Bronze)]

[Your inner self is less susceptible to external disturbances. Reduces the duration of mind control effects such as fear, confusion, and charm by 10%.]

[Weak Sensing (Bronze)]

[You can slightly perceive the emotional fluctuations around you. This makes it easier for you to detect hidden enemies or lies. The intensity of your perception is proportional to your mental attributes.]

[Learning makes me happy (Bronze)]

You gain wisdom from books. Every time you read a book and absorb its meaning, there is a 10% chance to permanently increase your Spirit by 0.1 points.

I was unlucky this time, as all three Psychic items were bronze in color, and none of them were particularly strong.

[Heart Lake Mirror (Bronze)] was first excluded by Feng Mu, reducing its duration by 10%. This reduction is almost negligible and is like a chicken rib.

[Weak Sense (Bronze)] can detect lies. Although the effect is weak, it is proportional to the mental attribute and has a certain growth potential. It can be regarded as an auxiliary ability with some potential.

[Learning makes me happy (Bronze)]... Let’s not mention it, the entry wins just by the name.

Although there is only a 10% chance of providing a 0.1 mental boost, which is extremely stingy, it is probably because of this that this entry is only rated bronze.

but……

Books are endless.

What's more, as a villain, how could Feng Mu not love reading?

so……

"I choose [Learning makes me happy]!" Feng Mu said firmly in his heart.

As the two entries were selected, the heart-pounding numerical leap in front of me gradually subsided, just like hot molten steel gradually cooling and solidifying, and finally turning into solid and dazzling new values ​​on the attribute panel.

Strength 36.2 (14.5+21.8)

Agility 43.1 (11.3+31.8)

Physical fitness 38.9 (28.2+10.7)

Spirit 49.9999 (12.7+43.7) [Explosively Transforming]

[Eye Power +4000!]

[Current pupil power value 5044! !]

The surging sense of power swept over my body like a warm tide, replacing the remaining pain and leaving my soul feeling lighter and stronger than ever before.

Feng Mu slowly stood up, feeling the body that had completely broken free from the first layer of shackles. His eyes flashed with a light deeper than the night, but the corners of his mouth raised a smile as pure as a child's.

Looking at the brand new panel, Feng Mu blinked at himself in the mirror.

The improvement brought by the Marrow Cleansing Pill is worthy of its name. It cannot be said to be a complete transformation, but it simply makes one feel like a different person.

Of course, the benefits of new equipment are also indispensable.

"I feel like the me now can crush 100 of my past selves!"

Feng Mu didn't know whether his feeling was accurate or not. After all, the most difficult thing in the world was to fight with oneself, or to fight with yesterday's self.

But this sense of fulfillment, with strength growing exponentially, is clearer and stronger than ever before.

"But it's not enough, I can be even stronger!"

Once the idea comes up, there is no hesitation.

Feng Mu flipped his hand back, a faint light flashed in his palm, and the next moment, an extremely delicate transparent injection emerged.

The wall of the injection tube was flowing with a faint blue color, as if it contained the life energy of a nebula vortex. The energy level it contained was far beyond the D-level injection used before.

It was the C-level gene injection that he had kept until the end.

"I didn't expect that the spiritual attribute would surpass me and become my first attribute to reach the C-level gene lock barrier."

Feng Mu showed an intriguing smile on his face. This situation was indeed beyond his expectations.

"Before taking the medicine, I was stuck at a D-level lock. I didn't expect that after taking the medicine with all my effort to break through, I was stuck at a C-level lock again. Haha——"

Feng Mu laughed, but there was not much frustration in his laughter, but rather it was full of eagerness to try.

There is no need to hesitate or wait this time. Since I want to upgrade, I might as well upgrade it thoroughly and break all the locks that can be broken at once.

Feng Mu skillfully tore off the sterile sealing cap at the end of the injection, revealing a precision needle that was shining with a cold light.

He located the blood vessel on his wrist, held the needle in his right hand, and stabbed it hard.

It can't be too light, otherwise it won't pierce the skin at all.

The thumb pressed the booster without hesitation.

Buzz——!

The dark blue liquid, carrying both cold and violent energy, instantly surged into his blood vessels, rushed to his limbs and bones, and attacked the depths of his soul.

This time the pain was much weaker.

After all, the first time is always the most painful, and the pleasure after that is more addictive...
