Chapter 385: Upgrading and Inventory Energy Level Reaching X (Sorry, sorry, a little late.)

Li Ming didn't want to ruin his relationship with this supervisor. Seeing that the supervisor's attitude had softened, he apologized, "It's indeed my fault. This is my first time here and I don't understand the rules here."

The Supervisor didn't say anything. In fact, there were many rules that he should have been responsible for guiding and explaining. However, after discovering the other party's strangeness, he did not show up immediately.

The mechanical eyeballs flickered, and then said, "How did you bring those mechanical bodies in? Information state conversion can't carry those things."

"A secret." Li Ming smiled. The Overseer shook his head and said in an inexplicable tone, "I never thought that Lord Diglas's Holy Castle, only fifty years after its revival, would welcome a strange fellow like you."

"Diglas?" Li Ming hesitated. Is he the owner of this holy castle?

There is a lot of information here, and this is definitely not the first revived holy castle.

"After the Holy Castle is revived, will the Purple Skull be sent out to look for the heir?" Li Ming asked.

"Lord Digras's emblem is a purple skull, but the emblems of other lords are slightly different," the Supervisor explained.

This makes sense, Li Ming thought to himself, if these chosen ones all have purple skulls, the Pioneers and the Xingyuan Empire will definitely start from this aspect and find out the truth with one check.

"What specific level do we need to reach to open the Holy Castle?" Li Ming asked.

"Only by passing the peak transcendental trial can the Holy Castle be opened."

Peak transcendence? Li Ming took a deep breath. Theoretically, this corresponds to a life form whose development progress exceeds 90%.

But the problem is that those strange life forms are too powerful. They are definitely no match for the X-level life forms with 90% development progress, and can only be dealt with by crushing them.

In other words, one must at least reach the level of the ultimate life form to pass the peak transcendence trial.

No wonder those X-level life forms never come back. How can we fight them?

Li Ming was secretly shocked, then realized something was wrong. "Overseer, the Overlord-level Titans left the Holy Castle behind for people to obtain. This level of difficulty is not right."

"It is indeed a bit difficult, but this is set up to select those one in a trillion life forms." The Supervisor said as a matter of course.

But Li Ming always felt something was wrong.

Suddenly, he figured out the difference in the evolutionary systems!

The Titans' evolutionary path should be stronger than the current one, so this kind of trial was set up.

But they seemed to have forgotten the differences in the evolutionary systems. They didn't reduce the difficulty, or in their opinion, if the evolutionary system was not strong enough, then they were not eligible to receive their legacy.

The path of genetic evolution is originally prepared for life species whose own life strength is insufficient.

Therefore, more powerful organism genes are needed to make up for their own strength.

But the Titans were born powerful, and they took a completely different evolutionary path.

Li Ming was speechless. No wonder there seemed to be only one Eternal Star appearing in all these years.

This is a vicious circle for the current evolutionary path. If the concentration of Titan blood is not high enough, the Holy Castle cannot be opened. If the blood concentration is too high, the development potential will be suppressed and it will be impossible to evolve to a higher level.

"By the way, what is the evolutionary path of the Titans?" Li Ming asked casually.

The Overseer stared at him and said, "Through special means, absorbing the power of the dimensional world to evolve, you don't have to think about it, only a pure-blooded Titan can do it."

Absorbing the power of the dimensional world? That's right, adapting to local conditions. Li Ming feels that the current evolutionary path is pretty good and suits him very well, so he has no intention of changing it.

"Well, didn't the purple skull claim to inherit the Titan civilization to its successors? But in the end, it could only open a holy castle?" Li Ming had many questions that needed answers.

"You will understand after you open the Holy Castle." The Supervisor shook his head.

Well...it's about permissions again, right?

Li Ming's heart moved, and he tried to poke the monitor, but the other party was very alert, as if he was in another dimension and could not be touched.

He was completely speechless and then asked what the enemies he encountered during the trial were.

"The Abyss Clan comes from the Eternal Abyss..." the Supervisor said in a deep voice.

"Eternal Abyss? They were the ones who destroyed Terrax?" Li Ming asked tentatively.

"You'll know once you open the Holy Castle." The Overseer said expressionlessly.

Li Ming was helpless and asked a lot of questions, some of which he could answer and some of which he could not.

Until the very end, he looked at the huge portal reluctantly and chose to return.

Looking at the place where the trial-taker disappeared, data flowed in the monitor's pupils and his brows were furrowed.

…

Opening his eyes, everything gradually became clear. Li Ming felt as if he was in a dream. Glancing at the time, he found that more than two hours had passed, which seemed to correspond almost exactly.

Looking down, I saw strands of information-state particle streams converging, flashing with strange light and changing colors unpredictably.

Then they gradually condensed into various weapons. Some were shaped like long swords, with the sword body composed of flowing particles. As the light flashed, it emitted a heart-pounding cold light.

It then transformed into a spear, with particles at the tip spinning at high speed, forming an energy vortex that seemed to be able to devour anything that approached.

There was also a giant axe condensed, with arcs of electricity jumping on the axe blade, and every flash was accompanied by a powerful energy fluctuation.

Unbelievable, Li Ming sighed secretly.

Four A-level weapons, each costing an average of six million to control, are considered quite powerful.

An S-class weapon costs 50 million to control, but it can only be considered average, far inferior to the data upgraded by his control object, after all, it has undergone various enhancements along the way.

And there is a common ability that occupies an ability column.

【Giant: Weapons can be magnified ten times.】

He originally wanted to sell them, but when he thought that these were weapons of the Terrax civilization and that they might cause some trouble, he simply bought them all back.

But in the end, an A-level weapon was left behind, which may have other uses.

Nearly 50 million metal energies were recovered, plus the original remaining, after a series of operations, there were still 350 million left.

While I was thinking, I felt my skin getting hot. When I came to my senses, I found that strands of blood-red light were wrapping around me, like little snakes drilling into my skin, and my heart beat faster and faster.

This should be the so-called blood purification. As soon as this thought came to Li Ming's mind, he felt a piercing burning sensation on his skin, as if tens of millions of red-hot needles were piercing into him at the same time, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

Every muscle was cramping, every nerve was twitching, in this extreme pain.

Li Ming began to undergo a deeper transformation. His skin gradually became as tough as metal, shining with a strange luster, as if covered by a layer of mysterious energy shield.

The cells are dividing and recombining frantically, releasing powerful life energy and becoming more active, as if they have self-awareness.

The bones make crackling sounds as they are constantly strengthened and reshaped. The internal structure becomes increasingly complex and sophisticated, able to withstand unimaginable pressure and impact. This is a transformation that is a mixture of pain and rebirth.

The purification of the Titan bloodline was more intense than Li Ming could imagine, and it vaguely conflicted with his gene seed.

But Li Ming had experienced this situation once before, so he directly used the defense blessing. With more than 200 times the defense blessing, all conflicts and tearing disappeared without a trace.

The roaring river instantly turned into a quiet stream.

After a long time, Li Ming removed the defensive blessing after confirming that the transformation was over. He immediately felt a completely different feeling. He seemed to have grown taller and his physical strength had increased significantly.

His eyes flashed slightly and he quickly took out the genetic testing device.

"The development progress has improved, it's already 40%..." Li Ming looked at the numbers on the screen, silently clenched his fists, making crackling sounds.

But I felt a little excited in my heart, "I remember, the last time something like this happened was..."

He further examined the development potential in detail, his eyes gleaming, "Sure enough, the root development potential has risen to level 20."

His original root development potential was only level ten, but this was doubled.

"Titan bloodline has such benefits? Didn't the Supervisor say that it would suppress development potential?" Li Ming was secretly surprised and pondered.

Does this mean that suppression will only occur after the development potential reaches level 45, and the increase in blood concentration in the early stage will actually increase the development potential?

The supervisor didn't mention this matter, probably because he thought my development potential must be very high, but in fact it is frighteningly low.

Titan Bloodline: Brother, your development potential is too low. Let me give you some advice.

Li Ming erased the inexplicable images in his mind and grinned. This was an unexpected surprise.

In this way, his development speed will continue to rise, and there will even be a channel for stable improvement.

This wave is more than just making huge profits.

Li Ming calmed down. The Holy Castle Trial was beneficial to him. The rewards were not wasted, and the weapons could also recycle metal energy.

Although the final trial is very difficult, for him, if his life level reaches level X and he has many control objects, he will definitely be able to complete it.

This way, I don't have to worry about finding the Holy Castle at all. I just need to complete the trial step by step.

Well... that won't work. Just because I don't care doesn't mean they won't keep looking. The Empire will definitely not give up, and may even get more aggressive.

I have no control over the progress over there, so trying to stop it is nothing but wishful thinking.

He paced back and forth in the room, and when he was thinking, he stopped and an idea suddenly came into his mind.

Li Ming narrowed his eyes and said, "Just because I can't stop it doesn't mean others can't stop it."

No one can resist the temptation of the Holy Castle, so he plans to wholesale the program designed by the Hammersmith to find the Holy Castle of Terrax.

Anyway, he can already take part in the Holy Castle Trial, and everyone should have a copy, so no one should think too much about it.

"This is too vicious." Li Ming suddenly looked up at the metal wall, and his handsome face was reflected on the smooth wall.

Having made up his mind, Li Ming immediately started to calculate and made a table.

"The Sisterhood will definitely want it. There are also many ambitious people in the Black Hole Temple. The Holy Revolutionary Army won't mind adding some gamble to the Empire. Not to mention the Federation, the several overlords of the Chaos Star Gap and the Godcrafter..."

Li Ming pondered: "No, we can't make such a big move, otherwise it will be easy to target people. Let's sell it to a few familiar forces first..."

After opening the Black Hole Network, the Sisterhood had a contact who sent a message to the other party. The Holy Revolutionary Army and the Federation needed a middleman to spread the news.

Message transmission takes time. Li Ming temporarily put down the smart terminal and opened the control page again, preparing to upgrade the controlled object.

There are still two Terrax Stones left in my hand. Foreign objects cannot be used in the Trial of the Holy Castle, so improving the control of objects will bring greater effects. There is no rush to fill the two guard positions.

As for which control object to upgrade, he had already made up his mind. He opened the control bar and locked his sights on three almost identical control objects [Earthshaking Fists]. A large amount of metal energy flowed in, and the appearance began to transform -

【Earthshaking Fist--S-Rank: Smash the earth!

Control Effect: Features - [Earth Shattering], [Star Shattering]

Control Ability - Earth Shake: Gain 5000% strength.

[Earth Shattering: Gain 2000% strength and apply the "Earth Shattering" mark to the target. Every ten layers of the mark will detonate and cause additional damage.]

[Shattered Star: The mark can be stacked up to ten times. For each mark on the enemy, the additional damage caused increases by 2.5%, which can be stacked.]

With the investment of 200 million metal energies, the [Earth-Shaking Fist] has been greatly improved, and the data blessing goes without saying.

The new feature [Star Shattering] is also very useful. Two pairs of [Earthshaking Fists] can directly increase the damage to up to 75%, which is almost doubled.

After calculating the formation, he found that among the eight controlled objects on his body, four were S-level, the core [Heart of Talos], [Gauntlets of Justice], and two [Earth-Shaking Fists].

The others are [Feros Mecha] which is mainly due to its ability [Thunder Guard], but it is no longer needed now and can be replaced.

[Life Power Core] mainly increases physical strength, [Vortex Shadow] mainly increases speed, and there is also a [Earth-Shaking Fist] to assist in increasing strength.

The overall strength blessing soared directly to three hundred and ten times, and the power that could directly act on the body was nearly one hundred and sixty times.

"Now that the development progress has slightly improved, coupled with the enhancement of Titan bloodline, the regular burst has exceeded 90A. With the combined blessing, the burst energy level can already exceed 1X... not counting various special skills..."

Li Ming estimated the situation and suddenly fell silent, even he was shocked.

Of course, past experience made him clearly aware that only S-class life forms whose explosive energy level had touched the X-class standard and whose development progress was close to 100% could reach this level under genetic liberation.

After reaching this level, he fell into a bottleneck period. Because the gap in energy levels was too large, it was difficult to achieve qualitative changes even if he continued to improve the objects he controlled.

This is a period of pain. In the past, every level of life had a similar stage. He naturally would not stagnate. He would improve when necessary and upgrade when necessary.

After becoming an S-level life form, there will naturally be a qualitative change.

Li Ming pondered, "Besides, now that I can participate in the Holy Castle Trial, every bit of improvement is not wasted. If I plan carefully, I can replace some of my control objects and improve my development progress. I should be able to pass the Intermediate Lord Trial."

"Tsk, there are still two A-level evolution essences left, not S-level, so we have to find two unlucky guys."
