There is an inexplicable connection between Abyss materials and psychic energy. The seemingly solid Abyss materials, when exposed to psychic energy of a certain intensity or concentration, can activate the power contained in them. Then, by introducing this power into the super power core in the body, the super power core can be upgraded.
This process is actually very dangerous, because the force activated at one time is too strong, it is possible to "burst" the super power core together with the body... In the early years, when the promotion of super power users had not yet formed a system, it is unknown how many super power users died because of this.
Of course, it is very safe now...Superpowers of various levels who need to match those abyss materials have already figured it out clearly.
This is what the superhuman predecessors of the past have discovered through their lives.
Qin Jinnian had already made some preparations for upgrading, such as what materials were needed to upgrade from level 2 to level 3, and what materials were needed to upgrade from level 3 to level 4...
When the original body was on the road, the clone had already prepared these things.
The ruins are still a bit dangerous, after all, there is that golden light... Although the No. 3 ruins have not been discovered yet, in order to prevent accidents, Qin Jinnian went directly into the deepest part of the underground palace, which is where the "statue" of the abyss race was previously enshrined.
There were seven piles of materials on the altar. Qin Jinnian first came to the materials for upgrading from level 2 to level 3.
After taking a deep breath and sitting cross-legged, his mind moved and the spiritual energy in his body immediately started to flow.
White light surged, instantly covering the abyss material in front of him.
As the spiritual energy surged, the "black fog" in the abyss material was also aroused, and immediately mixed with the spiritual energy, interweaving and entangled in the air, looking mysterious.
The powerful mental force played a huge role at this moment. The mental force controlled his own spiritual energy and restrained this power in a ball without revealing a single bit.
Time passed by little by little, and after about half an hour, finally, all the black fog in the abyss material was drawn out and mixed into the spiritual energy.
He took a deep breath, and the next moment, he introduced this spiritual energy into his body.
Powerful spiritual energy entered the body, and a feeling of "swelling" suddenly spread, as if the body felt like it was about to explode.
But this feeling of 'explosion' is just an illusion... A physique with 100 points of vitality ensures that the body can fully support this level of spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy flows along the body and reaches the super power core located between the eyebrows, the 'pineal gland'.
The next moment, the super power core emitted a bright light, and the powerful spiritual energy seemed to melt the super power core.
However, thanks to Qin Jinnian's powerful mental strength, he did not feel out of control at all when he was only promoted from level 2 to level 3.
After about a few minutes, all the power was channeled into the super power core, and the super power core emitted a bright light. When everything was over, it was seen that the 'super power core' was obviously one size larger than before.
The super energy core, which was originally only the size of a little finger and had a "crystal" shape, turned into a crystal the size of a ring finger.
But although the size has only increased slightly, the capacity has increased significantly.
The quality of the spiritual energy stimulated by the super power core has also been improved to a certain extent, and it is obviously much stronger.
After completing the upgrade of his super energy core, Qin Jinnian let out a long breath and opened his eyes.
Although his mental strength was more than enough to control the current situation, he could still die if he wasn't careful, so it still took a lot of effort.
After opening his eyes, he smiled slightly.
"Next, it's about improving vitality..."
He looked at the panel.
During this period, he began to focus on improving his mental strength, and the attribute points consumed alone were as high as four to five million.
However, he knew that after the deal with the Night Watchman, his vitality would also begin to increase, so he saved all his attribute points for the next five or six days, so at this moment, his attribute points exceeded 1.7 million...
This amount of attribute points was not enough to raise his mental power from the current 7,000 to the maximum level, so he simply kept them all.
[You use '11 attribute points', vitality +1. ]
[You use '11 attribute points', vitality +1...]
…
Looking at the refreshed text on the panel, Qin Jinnian smiled slightly... He was used to seeing hundreds of attribute points only adding 1 point of mental power... Suddenly seeing that more than ten points could add 1 point of vitality, he was a little uncomfortable.
He smiled slightly and continued to add more.
finally……
[You use '11 attribute points', vitality +1. ]
[Your vitality has reached 500, which is the current limit of your cultivation. Please improve your cultivation.]
During the process of improving his vitality, Qin Jinnian clearly felt a strong warm breath spreading throughout his body, and his physical strength and power were constantly increasing.
This feeling is just like soaking in a hot spring. Very comfortable.
It was not just his physical strength that became stronger, but also the spiritual energy in his superpower core, which obviously became more and more as his vitality increased, far exceeding what it had been before.
Not only the psychic power, but also the strength of the super energy core itself has been greatly improved in this process...
"It seems that although both are at level 3, the combat power of those who have just reached level 3 and those who have been at level 3 for a long time is completely different..."
Qin Jinnian thought in his heart.
The improvement of the super energy core refers to the change of the container. But the subsequent improvement of psychic power is still a cumulative process.
It doesn't mean that your spiritual power and vitality will be improved immediately after you upgrade.
Although compared to super warriors, the improvement of super powers is indeed much faster... but it is not achieved overnight.
It is not so accurate to say that the only constraint of super powers is 'mental power'.
However, for Qin Jinnian, this process can obviously be omitted... As long as he has enough attribute points, he can reach the top in one go.
Taking a look at the panel, his vitality has reached 500, and his cultivation has become the 'third level'.
"continue."
He looked at the pile of materials for upgrading level 3 to level 4 and walked over without any hesitation.
Not long after, this pile of materials was also guided out by spiritual energy...
[You use '51 attribute points', vitality +1]
[You use '51 attribute points', vitality +1]
…
[Your vitality has reached 1500, which is the current limit of your cultivation. Please improve your cultivation.]
…
The 4th level super energy core allowed Qin Jinnian’s vitality limit to reach 1500.
My whole body feels warm, and an unprecedented sense of power fills my body!
This is the purest physical strength...or it cannot be described as physical strength, but rather the power brought by the flesh mixed with psychic energy.
This kind of power is much more direct than the feeling that authority brings to him! A feeling of completeness and energy permeated his whole body. Qin Jinnian's eyes lit up and he took a deep breath.
continue!
Watching the super energy core transform into a crystal the size of his middle finger, Qin Jinnian walked towards the pile of tier 5 materials...
More than half an hour later...
[Your vitality has reached 3000, which is the current limit of your cultivation. Please improve your cultivation! ]
Another bunch of attribute points were added, and Qin Jinnian's vitality reached 3,000.
He clearly felt that some wonderful changes seemed to have taken place in his body. His skin became whiter and smoother, but the strength was far beyond before.
Not only the skin, muscles, and bones, everything seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes. A strong sense of power surged throughout the body...as if every cell in the body had been stimulated to possess some magical property and was full of vitality.
This description is very strange, because it is difficult for ordinary people to understand the specific feeling of "cells are full of vitality"...but at this moment, Qin Jinnian can only think of this description.
He looked at his hands in surprise.
After a long time, he let out a sigh of relief.
continue!
He walked towards the 6th level material...
…
[Your vitality has reached 5000, which is the current limit of your cultivation. Please improve your cultivation.]
The sixth-level super energy core brings the vitality to 5000.
The energy became even stronger.
Qin Jinnian looked at his hand and thought for a while. Then a black shadow appeared beside him and turned into a sharp shadow knife. He raised his hand to touch the blade, and with a thought, he pressed it hard.
Blood flowed from his fingertips, but he clearly felt a little bit of "dullness" when the shadow blade cut into his fingers... Although not much, it was already very shocking.
You know, with the strength of the Shadow Blade, even if it was made of steel, it would be as easy as cutting tofu.
He looked at the wound on his finger, but the next moment, spiritual energy surged to the fingertips, and the wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few seconds, the scars completely disappeared.
Qin Jinnian took a deep breath... Is this the benefit of increasing vitality? It really is... vitality!
The cells were full of vitality, which greatly improved his recovery ability! Without hesitation, he moved towards the seventh-level material.
[You consume 510 attribute points, vitality +1]
[Your attribute points are not enough to improve your current vitality. Please obtain attribute points.]
A prompt appeared on the panel, leaving Qin Jinnian stunned for a moment.
Finally, I sighed...
Well, I have used up all my attribute points...
Subsequent upgrades were slow.
He had spent six days accumulating more than 1.7 million attribute points, but now they were all used up in one go.
He looked at his panel.
【Qin Jinnian】
[Life force: 5002.00]
【Spirit: 7310.00】
【Personality: Initial Awakening Ⅲ】
[Cultivation: Super Martial Level 7]
[Basic authority: lv3 Dark Pupil, lv3 Shadow Control, lv3 Shadow Devourer, lv3 Shadow Body, lv3 Shadow Armor]
…
…
[Current attribute points: 470.45]
[Current shadow point: 2840234.28]
…
When the spiritual power reaches 7310, each increase requires 740 attribute points. To increase it to 10,000 points, at least 2.5 million attribute points are required.
His vitality has now reached more than 5,000 points, and every point of improvement requires more than 500 points... He is now at level 7, and if he reaches level 10, if nothing unexpected happens, the limit is also 10,000. That would require more, probably more than 3 million.
The total is more than six million attribute points.
This was an astronomical figure that he could not even imagine more than a month ago...
Fortunately, the monster was discovered in the ruins.
Otherwise... the source of these attribute points alone would give him a headache for quite some time.
"It looks like I have to work hard."
He exhaled lightly, then looked at the remaining three materials...
Eighth level, ninth level, tenth level.
The materials of these three stages alone are worth tens of billions... and the Super Martial Alliance does not sell them on a daily basis. They can only be seen occasionally at auctions on the Imperial Capital's black market...
It will not appear in ordinary cities.
Looking at the materials in front of him, Qin Jinnian let out a breath and then stood up.
Feeling a completely different feeling all over his body from before, Qin Jinnian's eyes lit up slightly. The next moment, he moved without using any super powers, and flashed to the entrance of the underground palace at an extremely fast speed.
The distance in the middle is dozens of meters.
During this process, his reaction ability improved a lot.
Originally, his reaction was not satisfactory. With more than 7,000 mental power, his reaction was far beyond that of ordinary people. Once his mental power was highly concentrated, he saw everyone's movements as if in slow motion... It was as if time was extended in his world.
But in the past, during this 'extended time', only his shadow could keep up with his reaction...but his body couldn't.
This gave him an extremely strong sense of 'delay'.
Even in daily life, this 'sense of delay' is very strong...
Now, that sense of delay seems to have completely disappeared.
His body could barely keep up with his mental reactions.
Then he left the underground palace, eager to test his current physical strength.
In the past, we relied on shadows to fight, which was very cool and handsome.
But fighting with one's body would definitely be a different experience. He was looking forward to it.
After leaving the underground palace, the "Zhang San" who was on duty here before naturally dissipated... This clone was separated before the super power was upgraded. The promotion of the super power core is not at the same frequency. It needs to be differentiated again.
The next moment, another 'Zhang San' appeared.
He stretched his body, his eyes brightened, and the next moment he took a deep breath, exerted force with his feet, and heard a loud bang, the ground broke, and his whole body suddenly jumped high! This time he did not use superpowers, but pure brute force and spiritual energy. With this jump, his body was like a cannonball, directly jumping hundreds of meters, and then the momentum weakened, and then fell down.
This high-altitude fall was completely different from the previous one... He didn't feel any sense of weightlessness at all, because he seemed to be able to adjust his body condition very easily.
Swoosh! The wind whistled in his ears, and a few seconds later, he fell to the ground with a bang.
Just by bending his knees slightly, he was able to completely withstand the impact of falling from a height of hundreds of meters.
The improvement of vitality is comprehensive. His muscles, bones, and skin have all been horribly improved. A little impact will not have any impact at all.
And this is when the clone has only 60% of the original's cultivation level.
The clone did not stop, and jumped high again the next moment. Qin Jinnian enjoyed the comfort brought by the "freedom" of his body at this moment.
This kind of physical strength and the confidence brought by superpowers are similar in nature, but they are also completely different.
It's hard to describe and describe.
For a moment, Qin Jinnian controlled his clone to jump forward quickly in the ruins, passing through the ruins-like buildings, feeling extremely comfortable.
Suddenly, he turned his eyes and found a monster wandering in the ruins.
Qin Jinnian's eyes lit up, and without any hesitation, he suddenly jumped forward and punched the monster on the head.
The strong sound of breaking wind startled the wolf-like monster. It looked up suddenly and found Qin Jinnian in the air. It immediately let out an angry roar. The next moment, a beam of fire burst out of its mouth.
Qin Jinnian did not dodge or evade. His spiritual energy surged throughout his body and gathered in his fist. The next moment, he punched the fire.
Boom!!! He only felt a little bit of heat, and the next moment, the flames burst, and he had passed through and continued to blast towards the monster.
The monster reacted quickly, its limbs jumped violently, and it avoided the punch.
Qin Jinnian used all his strength without using any superpowers, and his punch hit the ground hard.
Boom!!! With a loud bang, the ground collapsed more than ten centimeters under his impact, forming a huge cracked area.
The monster pounced on him the next moment, its claws as sharp as blades, and grabbed Qin Jinnian directly.
Qin Jinnian wanted to test the strength of his current body, so he didn't need to delete it, and just took it with one punch.
BANG!!! With a loud noise, powerful forces collided with each other, and the wolf-shaped monster was repelled by the powerful force. At the same time, Qin Jinnian also felt the reaction force and retreated.
There was a little pain in my hand, but in the blink of an eye, the cells were actively repaired and the pain disappeared...
There is no one-hit kill.
But this kind of direct confrontation between power and power was an experience Qin Jinnian had never had before. His eyes lit up, and while laughing, he pounced forward again and fought with the wolf-like monster.
Kicking and punching, Qin Jinnian's body was as fast as lightning. For the first time, he felt the joy of fighting with real fists.
The wolf-like monster's power was obviously not as good as his, but the difference between the two did not seem to be that far... After all, the monsters in the ruins were basically level five or six. Now Qin Jinnian was level seven, but this clone was only sixty percent of the original's strength, so he was evenly matched with the monsters here.
The great battle caused the ground of the ruins to collapse and rocks to fly.
To be honest, the battle with the guardian deity of the Vacuum Church was not as big as the commotion caused at this moment.
It didn't take that much effort to kill the Zhenkong Sect and several seventh-level super-powered people.
However, this kind of feeling of being punched in the flesh and having blood rushing through your body was something Qin Jinnian had never experienced before.
The monster was not as strong as Qin Jinnian, but it was ferocious and cunning, and instead had the upper hand.
Although Qin Jinnian's reaction was quick, it was his first time to fight directly with his body. He did not know how to hold back and was at a disadvantage for a while. Soon, he was left with some scars from the wolf's claws.
But with the surge of spiritual energy, the wounds healed quickly, allowing him to fight more and more happily.
On the contrary, the monster began to show signs of fatigue.
It spewed out a lot of flames, but they were all smashed to pieces by Qin Jinnian's unreasonable fists, without considering the issue of physical energy consumption at all.
After the battle lasted for half an hour, Qin Jinnian felt a little tired... This was an unprecedented experience.
Spiritual energy is consumed very quickly.
He used his power to control the shadow, which did not consume any spiritual energy. However, if he fought directly, his spiritual energy would be greatly consumed.
But he consumed a lot of energy, and the monster consumed even more. After half an hour of fighting, the monster began to retreat and wanted to escape.
But how could Qin Jinnian let it do what it wanted? He immediately chased after it.
Who knew that the monster was so cunning, and when it saw Qin Jinnian chasing after it, it suddenly turned around and grabbed Qin Jinnian's neck with its claws.
Qin Jinnian used too much force, and although he reacted, it was too late to dodge.
He simply didn't dodge, but turned his right hand into a knife and stabbed it directly into the monster's neck.
The next moment...
Puff! ! The sharp claws pierced Qin Jinnian's throat, and most of his neck disappeared, and blood immediately spurted out. Qin Jinnian's hand knife barely cut the monster's neck... But since the monster's size was more advantageous, the injury was obviously not fatal.
He felt a little regretful, and felt the spiritual energy rushing towards his neck madly, trying to repair his injuries.
However, a lot of his spiritual energy had been consumed before, and the injury was too severe. Looking at the monster in front of him that was covered with scars, panting, and staring at him fiercely, Qin Jinnian felt a little regretful.
Finally, his vision went black and his consciousness faded.
As his consciousness faded, his body turned into a black shadow and melted into the air...
The monster was obviously a little confused, and his fierce eyes were dazed for a moment...
I was stunned for a moment at the headquarters of the Vacuum Church, and the next moment, I was hit by a severe headache.
But after just a moment, the pain disappeared.
He was slightly stunned, and then smiled...
It seems that the increase in vitality has reduced the pain caused by the death of the clone.
very good!
Although this battle with the monster ended with his defeat.
But this unprecedented, head-on, exhilarating battle... made him feel extremely satisfied.
"It seems that I need to pay attention to some super martial arts secrets in the future..."
He stroked his chin in thought.
