Chapter 167 Feature Enhancement

Just like the northern ruins, once you step into the spire, you’ll feel a suction force.

The closer the distance, the greater the suction.

Li Yi stood in front of the target spire. As usual, he resisted the suction and slowly entered it.

According to his last experience, if he entered by resisting the suction, the mental imprint he would obtain should be stronger and contain the most insights.

By the way, after cleaning up and absorbing the insights of the divine out-of-body operation skills that I had obtained previously, the benefits were quite good.

The technique of divine out-of-body control that he had already mastered had already reached a fairly proficient level.

This technique is easy to learn but difficult to master. In the early stages, you don't need to do too many fancy moves. As long as you can leave the body and move steadily, you've gotten started.

Therefore, he combined his own understanding and made rapid progress.

I guess if I go back to the northern ruins a few more times, I will be able to master this skill to perfection.

Bang!!! The door opened, and then suddenly closed after Li Yi entered.

…

A vast and boundless cosmic vacuum suddenly appeared before our eyes.

Thumbnails of galaxies with countless star points, some far and some near, flow past us.

When Li Yi saw this scene, he was almost frightened, thinking that this space had teleported him to outer space.

But the place where he stepped, although invisible, was solid and stable, letting him know that the place ahead was most likely some illusion, or the special environment inside the spire.

"Is this a pretty big scene? It makes people feel like they are in the universe."

Li Yi glanced around and found that his field of vision was shrinking.

The thumbnail of the galaxy in front of us kept expanding, from being within reach to rising and becoming infinitely far away.

Then he discovered that the area where he was standing had become the tip of a cliff. His feet were just wide enough to stand on. It seemed that if he moved any more, he would fall off the thousand-foot cliff shrouded in clouds and mist in front of him.

Looking ahead of the cliff, there are green mountains, looming in the clouds and mist, with only their outlines visible.

Looking down at the ground, apart from the pointed cone-like mountain peaks and a sea of ​​clouds, nothing else can be seen; it is completely blocked.

The scene of this level is truly magnificent. Compared with the related spires that have been discovered before, they are simply one in the sky and one on the ground.

Moreover, this also changed Li Yi's original impression that the spire could only move within a certain range.

After all, such a vast area is thousands or even tens of thousands times larger than what can be seen from outside the spire.

Immediately afterwards, a piece of information that was enough to be understood came to Li Yi's mind, and he understood it instantly.

"No ideological stamp, good."

“It seems that as Tan Haode said, this southern region has not been deeply infiltrated by mysterious thoughts.”

"In this level, I need to use all my own characteristics to cross the sea of ​​clouds and reach the target location?"

"After arriving, can I gain enhanced characteristics?"

"The more features you use, the better the synergy effect will be?"

Li Yi immediately knew that he had won the prize.

You must know that the characteristic power carried by the divine gene is linked to the total amount of divinity.

For example, when he is not controlling the divine mecha, he can use the repulsion feature and burst out with all his strength to repel an object weighing up to 200 kilograms more than ten meters away.

This is the characteristic limit of his current total amount of divinity corresponding to his power.

Now this spire told him that he only needed to clear the first level to directly enhance his characteristics. With the same divinity, he could stimulate stronger characteristics! Doesn't this mean that if he could clear this spire, he could enhance his characteristics to a level close to or even comparable to the heavenly characteristics?

Thinking of this, Li Yi's eyes suddenly showed an eager look.

Then, he looked into the distance and saw a pointed mountain peak hidden among the sea of ​​clouds. That was the target he needed to reach in the first level.

It is about ten kilometers away, which is far longer than the southern ruins.

"I shouldn't have been teleported here. The feeling of being teleported is different from the feeling brought about by the transformation of information exchange."

"This is probably still within the range of the spire."

"Could it be that I have unknowingly entered another illusory space in the ruins?"

"Such a rare relic illusion has been seen twice here. It seems that this place is indeed extraordinary."

As the thought flashed through his mind, Li Yi jumped down.

The body penetrated through layers of clouds and began to fall.

He couldn't fly in the air yet. If he wanted to reach the target mountain top, he had to take the simple land route, get close to the foot of the target mountain, and then climb to the top.

This can also be considered as completing the clearance.

Among the characteristics he currently possesses, the only one that can allow him to fly briefly is the repulsion characteristic, or the superimposed wind and fire characteristics.

However, even with the repulsion properties, or the wind and fire properties, they could only support him to rise to a height of twenty to thirty meters on the spot, and then last for a dozen minutes at most.

It is definitely impossible to fly at an altitude of several thousand meters.

As he fell, he spread his arms and pretended to glide.

Then, he activated the technique of controlling the divine out-of-body power, transforming the divine out-of-body power into a wing shape, strengthening its thickness, and extending it toward both arms.

The long translucent wings extend from both arms, looking like crystal gems in the sunlight.

As he stretched out his arms to create air currents, his divine power of wind and fire erupted, producing a violent firestorm that pushed him forward.

Soon, he passed through one cloud after another, and his speed was getting faster and faster.

Although it is impossible to achieve true flight, it is still possible to use this kind of divine characteristics, combined with the skills of divine out-of-body control, to complete operations similar to wing suit gliding, and then assist with wind, fire and storm to accelerate propulsion.

After a while, the target mountain gradually came into sight.

At this time, he had also descended several hundred meters and was estimated to be still three or four thousand meters above the ground.

He began to slow down.

The gravity index here is about 1.5, which is naturally not great considering his current tolerance.

But if you crash into the mountain at full speed, it will definitely not feel very pleasant.

The method of deceleration is also very simple, which is to make the off-body divinity at the tip of the arm thicker and bigger, so that more forward speed can be converted into upward momentum and reduce the time to climb up later.

Whoosh!!! The sound of the wind whistled continuously, and branches passed by my ears one after another between the mountain paths ahead.

At this moment, the target mountain is only about a hundred meters away.

He simply removed the wing suit divinity from his arm and rushed forward like a cannonball.

Ten meters before the collision, he rolled forward and changed the direction from head touching the mountain to feet touching the mountain.

Pah!!! With a slight sound, he arched his body slightly, then dissipated the impact, and then his arms popped out, his five fingers like cones, firmly piercing the mirror-like smooth mountain.

He did not stop, but raised his arms and leaped upwards, launching the Eight-fold Leaping Step. His body suddenly jumped out from the nearly vertical cliff like a black shadow, running at high speed as if walking on flat ground! According to the information just obtained, if you want to get more feature enhancements when clearing the level, the fewer features you use, the better.

Therefore, he did the same thing this time, focusing only on using the divine power of wind and fire to speed up his climb upwards.

Before long, he had run over a thousand meters and the top of the mountain was right in front of him.

Crash! Before reaching the target location, he jumped again, his body soaring into the air, the whole person emerged from the top of the mountain, and the scenery of the endless mountains and seas in front of him suddenly appeared before his eyes.

When landing, he stretched out his right toes in a kite step and lightly touched the top of the mountain.

The moment of landing.

Buzz!!! A strange force that came from nowhere suddenly surged into the body.

In an instant, the corresponding divine genes that had activated their characteristics before seemed to become stronger and bulge slightly.

Li Yi's heart moved slightly and he felt a little full.

"Try it."

He stretched out his hand and punched the air, and the tornado characteristics exploded. The cloud in front suddenly shot forward in a rotation at an extremely fast speed, advancing more than 20 meters in one go.

Li Yi nodded slightly, increasing the power by about 4%.

After all, it’s the first level, and it’s divided into three features, which is not bad.

Then came the explosive feature. He turned his hand and swung his arm, and the cloud in front of him exploded out of thin air with a loud bang, creating a hollow circle of cloud about thirty to forty meters in size.

Not bad, he estimated that under the same divinity, the explosive properties increased by 3%.

The last one is the repulsive property. He pushed his palm forward, and the repulsive force exploded from the palm of his hand. The cloud separated to both sides and stretched straight for more than 20 meters.

This part is also 3%.

Coincidentally, the proportion of his feature usage throughout the journey was roughly in this range.

"It seems that the total power is increased by 10%, and then this 10% of power is spread out proportionally from each characteristic."

"In other words, if I want to develop a trait comparable to that of a Heavenly Rank, I will then need to minimize the use of multiple traits and only use one, or at most two, traits."

“That way, we can get the most benefit.”

"After all, it's uncertain what level this spire can reach."

Li Yi began to think about it in his mind.

"If we talk about comprehensive benefits, the characteristics within Pluto's divinity must have the highest comprehensive benefits."

"As for other characteristics, they cannot obtain the divine enhancement of the Pluto mecha. They can only be helpful for physical combat, but not for mecha combat."

"Among the current Pluto's divinity, there are only two characteristics: absolute zero degree and ice prison."

"The repulsive characteristic does not belong to the Pluto divinity, but to the characteristics of the Thunder God sequence."

"However, I'm afraid that these two characteristics of Pluto's divinity will hardly play a role in the next level-breaking scenes."

"Especially the Ice Prison feature. It requires the use of absolute 0 degrees to create a large amount of freezing environment before it can begin to take effect."

"In addition, the deformation and super elasticity of slime creatures also have a lot of room for imagination. If I can increase the strength of this feature to the point where I can change my body at any time, I am afraid I will have unparalleled survival ability."

"In addition, there is a lot of room for imagination in the characteristics of micro-electricity. The direction of strengthening this characteristic should be the endurance and stimulation effect of micro-electricity. If it can be improved, I am afraid it will also be very profitable."

"There is also the growth characteristic of the Life God Sequence. Maybe, if we strengthen the growth characteristic to the limit, we can get close to the characteristics of the Longevity Core of the Gourd Man. This is also a very wonderful choice."

After all, this involves future planning and multiple options, which cannot be compared with the previous fighting judgment.

After all, the judgment in a fight is not about choice, but about accuracy.

However, the characteristics that are prioritized for strengthening may very likely determine a different future.

There were too many choices, so he had to think for a long time.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yi decided to give priority to the absolute 0 degree characteristic to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the mecha could also be improved.

Afterwards, we will choose the right time to insert the four characteristics of deformation, superelasticity, micro-electricity and growth.

As for how to keep using these features while going through the levels, that's pretty simple.

For example, you can just use a single characteristic to activate the flawed version of the burst skill.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

As for other features that you really need to use during the game, there is nothing you can do about it. You have to complete the game first.

What a coincidence.

After Li Yi determined the direction of strengthening his characteristics, the scene of the second level also changed and appeared.

The mountains, sea and clouds ahead suddenly expanded.

The green mountains looming ahead were obviously farther away and larger.

At the same time, the corresponding level-breaking information was received in the mind.

Still the same method, the target is fifty kilometers ahead, on the top of an almost invisible mountain.

"The second level is to increase the distance, okay, if it's just this, it's fine."

Li Yi jumped from the top of the high mountain.

…

High in the sky, Li Yi flapped his arms and flew with his long translucent divine wings like a bird.

This time, he decided to fly like a bird.

Because he could not use too much divinity, which would slow down the strengthening effect of the characteristics, he learned the flying posture of birds, flapping his wings continuously, and using the long divine wings created by the divinity out-of-body control technique to create wind to propel his flight.

Then, use the deformation characteristics to change the thickness of the blood vessels in the body, launch explosive skills, speed up the circulation of qi and blood, and enhance the strength of the body.

Assist with the small-scale absolute 0 degree characteristic cooling, with these two characteristics as the main ones, and maintain continuously.

Fortunately, there was no time limit in the information given by the spire, otherwise, he would definitely not fly in such a laborious way.

But, don’t tell me yet.

With his current powerful strength and terrifying state of force as strong as flowing water, although flapping his wings and flying is a bit troublesome, he can indeed fly smoothly.

Moreover, the flying speed is getting faster and faster, and the wind is surging and whistling like thunder between the flaps.

Whoosh!!! This bird-like figure kept passing through clouds like a roc, and its speed was so fast that it became a black line.

Soon, they arrived at their destination, and their bodies landed lightly on the top of the mountain.

Although the distance was more than twice as long, the speed was actually much faster than the first level.

It can be seen that when he reached the first level, he still ignored his enormous strength and powerful state and did not use them properly.

The moment you land and stand still.

Buzz!!! His head sank slightly, and another strange force surged into his body.

In the blink of an eye, he felt that the Pluto divine gene and the Transfiguration divine gene had a greater sense of fullness and became several points stronger.

"Give it a try."

He stretched out his hand and clapped it, aiming at the cloud in front of him and directly unleashing the absolute 0 degree characteristic.

Crack!

In an instant, all the clouds within a radius of more than 30 meters froze into frost and fell down.

Soon, the clouds in the surrounding area suddenly cleared up.

Li Yi nodded slightly: "10% enhancement ratio, that is to say, the total amount of direct enhancement in the second level is 20%? Half each for Pluto and Transformation Characteristics?"

I tried the deformation feature again, and the effect was also enhanced by about 10%.

"At this point, I can basically directly transform the skin and muscles of the whole body, which is not bad."

"As for the bones, my current body is quite strong, so it's still a little difficult to transform them."

"However, if it is strengthened a little more, maybe in the future it will be able to transform into the appearance of other people or even other species at will."

Li Yi's eyes lit up slightly. This was truly a magical skill for infiltration and survival.

Combined with decryption skills, wouldn't it be possible to disguise as an alien and go there to steal secrets?

What if there is a war in the future and a powerful alien wants to hunt him down alone? Wouldn't he be able to get away with it by simply transforming into a friendly force?

The imagination was beautiful, and Li Yi started the third level.

…

The scene of the third level is a huge expansion of the previous scene, with a straight-line distance of 120 kilometers.

Between the airspaces of both sides, other high mountains squeezed in, making the air path to the target extremely narrow and tortuous, with many turns and twists. In addition, there were all kinds of spikes across the air path.

The difficulty is obviously starting to increase.

Tear it apart!

Li Yi opened his arms and flapped them gently, and his long divine wings suddenly stretched out, reflecting a slightly crystal color in the sunlight.

After practicing several times, his divine long wings could already fly at the touch of a button, and he had also mastered the bird's flapping flying technique.

Crash, crash!

He leaped forward, waved his long wings with his strong and powerful arms, and flew out suddenly with the help of the wind, as fierce as an eagle flying into the sky.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The sound of the wind in his ears became stronger and stronger. He had to use his strength to transfer the pressure on his cochlea brought by the wind.

At this moment, of course, he still used explosive skills based on transformation and absolute 0 degree characteristics.

The speed of flight is also getting faster and faster as the characteristics are enhanced and the skills in various aspects are mastered.

Moreover, with his accurate prediction, all the twists and turns, all the spikes, did not cause any hindrance to him.

In this way, he successfully passed the first five levels of similar scenes and came to the sixth level.

…

"Unfortunately, the enhancement of the characteristics does not seem to be exponential enhancement, but normal additive enhancement."

Standing on the top of the target point of the fifth level, Li Yi felt a little regretful.

In the third level, the enhancement ratio is 30%, and the deformation and absolute 0 degree characteristics are enhanced by 15% each.

The fourth level is 40%, and the fifth level is 50%. When all are accumulated, except for the tornado, explosion, and repulsion characteristics during the first level test, the deformation and absolute 0 degree characteristics have been enhanced by a total of 70% each, which is pretty good.

Li Yi tried it and found that he could now change the shape of all the bones in his body freely.

It can be thick or hard, small or soft.

Not only can it deform itself, but it can also deform matter within a three-meter radius around it.

Moreover, a very subtle effect has been added.

That is, all deformations can be chosen as reversible changes or irreversible changes when operating characteristics.

The so-called reversible change means that deformation can only occur when divinity is added. When divinity is withdrawn, the deformation will slowly return to its original state.

Irreversible change means that once a change occurs, it cannot be changed again. If you want to change it back, you need to consume your divinity to operate it again, which is equivalent to a secondary deformation.

Originally, its deformation characteristics were between the above two. When the scale of change was less than 1 cm, it was a reversible change; when the scale of change was more than 1 cm, it was an irreversible change.

But now, you can take the initiative to choose!

This also made Li Yi feel very outrageous.

Because the deformation is reversible and optional, it means that this deformation is no longer a physical deformation, but a conceptual deformation! Seeing this, Li Yi was also slightly shocked: "Could it be that after only 70% strengthening, there are already signs of the characteristics of the heavenly position?"

"Or is it because the transformation characteristic itself is a divine gene brought by the A-level divine core, and the basic quality is high, so it is strengthened in part to produce such a remarkable change?"

In Li Yi's heart, he naturally tends to believe the latter hypothesis.

There is no other reason. Although the characteristic of absolute 0 degrees has been enhanced a lot, there is no special change like the deformation characteristic.

Although Pluto's divine essence can be regarded as A-level divinity, the radiation he received started from D-level after all, and was generated relatively early, so the quality is naturally inferior.

Among the many characteristics he possesses, the only ones with very high initial quality are deformation and super elasticity, which are two characteristics from top-level divine creatures.

As for other characteristics, although the Thor sequence also obtained A-level divine nucleus and received A-level divine radiation in the later period, the time was short after all, and various types of radiation such as D, C, and B were mixed in in the early period, so the overall quality was still slightly inferior.

While I was thinking about it, the scene in the sixth level began to change.

The sea of ​​clouds in front of me suddenly disappeared.

The body seemed to be weightless and kept falling.

Li Yi's heart moved slightly: "It seems that the first five levels are one stage, and the sixth level is another stage. I wonder how much feature enhancement will be brought from the sixth level onwards."

Soon, a huge chessboard suddenly appeared in front of them.

Li Yi, on the other hand, seemed to have turned into a chess piece, standing in one corner.
