Chapter 370: Before the preliminaries, attribute cap, the curtain opens
After leaving the Demon Emperor's laboratory, Donald was still waiting downstairs.
The two of them left the Demon Emperor's residence together and went all the way back to the Dream Time Tower. Only then did Xia Lin reveal his true intentions.
"I would like to borrow your life and death battle..."
Xia Lin said this at the right time and in a relatively tactful tone, but Donald laughed.
"You can, but it's not necessary bro."
"Your life and death battle is 10%, and mine is 20%... But in the Cinders, this difference is actually insignificant."
Donald didn't elaborate on why it was unimportant, but just said that you, Xia Lin, will naturally know it after you become strong enough.
Seeing this scene, Xia Lin temporarily put aside his doubts and no longer coveted more.
"But the existing life and death battle (inferior) is enough."
In the Dream Time Tower, Xia Lin looked at the attributes of the Life and Death Battle (Inferior) and said this.
…
After the dual professions were balanced, Xia Lin's three systems also underwent significant changes.
Let’s talk about the development system first: the amazing brush system.
The root has not changed, the life-and-death battle is still the life-and-death battle.
The key supporting items have not changed either - the Spirit World Book is a prop and its effects are not affected by the conflict between the two professions.
The changes only exist in the branch of the heaven-defying brush system - a negative skill system aimed at compressing one's own strength.
The Transformation of Man, Earth and Heaven is one of the components of this branch system, but this skill alone is far from enough. The negative skills in the original Evil Shadow skill column are also needed to further compress Xia Lin's own attributes, thereby reducing consumption.
"The first step is to try to get back the twin fusion."
With this thought in mind, Xia Lin activated the recipe book, spent 1 evolution point, bought Twin Fusion from the recipe book, and placed it in the regular skill column 6.
The reminder sound of the ember area sounded.
[Due to the conflict between the two professions, your skills have been fused and sealed. ]
This seal has the same negative impact as the miracle mechanism. Both are the kind of negative costs that can be borne by the Twin Shadows, but they are strong negative impacts that must be borne every time they are used.
Without the Demon Emperor's reminder, Xia Lin had already understood the basics.
"Evil Shadow has become a carrier of conflict. If I use Twin Fusion to merge with Evil Shadow, it would be equivalent to actively exacerbating the conflict. This will do me all kinds of harm and no good."
"So twin fusion is useless."
Xia Lin changed his mind and decided to just wash away the twin fusion.
"The skills in the Doom Shadow skill bar cannot be used directly, but now the restrictions on the Doom Shadow skill bar have been lifted. This means that I can freely adjust the skills in the four skill bars of Doom Shadow, Constant, Conventional, and Permanent."
"Looking at it this way, there really is no need for twin fusion."
He opened the skill bar and looked at his own skills. After a simple adjustment, Xia Lin moved the three skills of Three Fires Extinction, Maggot Power, and Five Decays of Heaven and Man to the regular skill bar.
The skill's attributes dropped drastically when it took effect, and then the attributes were compressed by the transformation of man, earth and heaven. After a fraud of life, the heaven-defying brush combo was successfully implemented. After the resurrection, Xia Lin made a simple observation and found that the fraud points consumed by this operation were much more than before.
There is no problem with the fundamental logic of the system and it is not affected by the conflict between the two professions.
“But the consumption problem can no longer be ignored.”
The consumption of the new system is inherently higher than that of the old system. Dozens of life-and-death battles have also greatly increased Xia Lin's attributes, causing Xia Lin to "commit suicide" by cheating his life, and the number of fraud points consumed has increased.
At present, the productivity of fraud points has been equal to the consumption of the incredible brush system, and the growth rate of the former is actually not as fast as that of the latter.
"I'm afraid that the ten-day cycle can't be maintained. If we rely solely on the Spirit World Book, the cycle will probably be extended to about twenty days, and it will get longer and longer."
"Of course, in the Dream Time Tower, there is no need to worry about consumption... From this aspect, this Dream Time Tower really fits the life and death battle system, even better than my Spirit World Book."
Thinking of this, Xia Lin went to find Donald again despite his weak state.
This time, he asked to live in the Dreamtime Tower permanently, and Donald agreed without hesitation.
…
One day in the outside world is equal to ten days in the tower.
When Xia Lin broke free from his weakened state and the Life and Death Battle (Inferior) buff took effect, Xia Lin no longer used his fraud point reserves, but summoned Donald's phantom to feed his moves.
The result was the same as before, we still couldn't win.
But after coming back to life, Xia Lin gained a lot.
"The random replacement system of Eternal Inscription is ineffective against these dummies... Pseudo-random replacement cannot exchange for the skills of the dummies, because these dummies are fake after all, and they have no skills."
This is quite a pity.
Xia Lin was still thinking, if you, Donald, don't agree to let me copy the life and death battle, then I will snatch it from your dummy.
But the Dream Time Tower did not have this bug, and Xia Lin could not find any loophole to exploit.
"Based on this, the idea of using eternal imprinting to adapt and replicate the heartless system is also a failure."
Xia Lin couldn't understand the operating principle of the Dream Time Tower, but this was the mechanism of the tower, and Xia Lin had no choice but to accept reality.
"The changes in the Black Source Martial God's form are quite impressive."
The three major systems, the amazing brush system, if you really think about it, have actually become weaker due to the conflict between the two professions, because the consumption has increased.
The random replacement system of Eternal Inscription has undoubtedly been enhanced.
However, due to the special nature of the dummy, Xia Lin was unable to accurately estimate the extent of the enhancement and could only look forward to actual combat testing in the future.
The final enhancement of the Black Source Martial God system is quite intuitive! Under the new system, Xia Lin can not only fuse the county magistrate and the unified world core, but also fuse all kinds of miscellaneous props, rare ores, etc., to increase his attributes and add all kinds of strange characteristics to himself.
The combat performance is much higher than before!
Previously, Xia Lin, in the form of the Black Source Martial God, fought against Donald's dummy, but the only result was that he was killed instantly in one move.
And now fighting again in the form of Black Source Martial God, he finally saw Donald's second move - an uppercut.
After a day in the outside world, when the weak period was over, Xia Lin summoned the heartless dummy again.
After the experiment, it was found that the facts were consistent with the assumptions.
Eternal Inscription cannot record the skills of a dummy, and Witness Talent cannot take effect on a dummy.
You can only give up these little plans completely and focus on the incredible brush combo.
Another seven days later, when Xia Lin's attributes came to:
[Racial value: 22527]
[Basic attributes: 419.7y]
The fifth Sequence War audition in the Ashes Zone has begun.
…
【Welcome to the selection area 5: Doomsday Rush (F level). 】
【Note: This ember area is a real ember area.】
[The opening period of the Ember Zone is one month. 】
[Note: The single-player mission card is effective. There will only be one Ember Walker in this Ember Zone, and other Ember Walkers cannot enter this Ember Zone.]
[Note: The mission extension card is in effect. The opening period of this Ember Zone has been extended from one month to five years! ]
[The main quest has been released. ]
[Main Mission: Survive! ]
[Survival: Survive in this ember zone until the ember zone time limit ends. ]
[Penalty for mission failure: None.]
[Task success reward: 100 ranking battle points. ]
【The clearance mission was not triggered.】
[The side quest was not triggered. ]
【The promotion task has been triggered. 】
【Promotion task: Cleaner.】
[Cleaner: In this cinder zone, defeat a total of 100 mutant creatures of any type and strength.]
[Reward for successful mission: Your Pillar of Eternity class level is increased from 2 to 3.]
[Penalty for mission failure: None.]
As the light and shadow flickered, Xia Lin had already appeared in the ashes area.
Then he stretched himself.
"It feels good."
You can see Xia Lin’s operating procedures from the opening prompts.
——Activate the trick of cheating fate in advance, then use luck to time it and return to the Blue Star and enter the Cinder Zone at the right time to avoid the hunter.
The results are as expected.
——For single-player missions, the time limit is extended to give yourself ample time for development.
Moreover, the chosen Jhin zone is only F-level, which means that the difficulty of this Jhin zone is so low that it is completely at the level of a novice Jhin zone!
The perception spread, covering the entire Cinders area in an instant.
The entire Cinders District is only the size of a planet, and in Xia Lin's eyes, there are no secrets at all.
[The world view has been cracked successfully! ]
[The clearance mission has been triggered! ]
[Clearance Mission: Rebuilding Order: Crack the secret of the biochemical disaster, solve the source of the biochemical disaster, and rebuild civilization. ]
Xia Lin: Haha, get lost! Xia Lin has no intention of clearing the Jhin zone.
He doesn't care about any rewards at all.
He came here just to improve his attributes!
Don't contact the natives, don't do extra operations, don't ask about external affairs, just take care of yourself! A set of Dongfeng small combos, kill 100 mutant creatures nearby, so the promotion task is completed, the level of the Pillar of Eternity is increased from level 2 to level 3, and the third skill slot is unlocked.
Xia Lin was another fraud. He sacrificed his life, killed himself, and began his journey of brushing up his attributes.
…
Five years after the Ashes, Xia Lin returned to the Blue Star. With the help of the props given by Donald, he teleported from the entrance of the Ashes into the Demon Palace and walked into the Dream Time Tower again.
One month later, the Jhin area was called up.
It’s still the same process and operation as last time.
Get through safely and return.
And then another month later...
Luotian Sect, inside the mountain gate.
Luo Zhidao, holding the Forced Pursuit Card, looked at the fortune-telling horoscope behind him blankly.
He used the astrology chart to calculate the future fate of himself and Xia Linjian, and the astrology chart gave the answer.
——It’s pure darkness, there’s no chance of survival!
Originally, things weren't supposed to be like this.
It was just that during the interval of the fifth audition in the ember zone, Luo Zhidao had been unable to hunt down Xia Lin and missed the opportunity. As a result, the fate star disk went from being half-and-half, to eight deaths and two lives, to nine deaths and one life, to now ten deaths and no lives!
Luo Zhidao didn't understand what was going on with Xia Lin, but he realized that Xia Lin's growth rate had far exceeded his own, resulting in the current imbalance of strength.
A gentle voice suddenly sounded behind me.
"Your mind is unstable."
The voice caused Luo Zhidao to turn around and look behind him.
Then he saw a graceful young man in white clothes who had appeared behind Luo Zhidao at some point and said this to him with a smile.
The voice made Luo Zhidao slowly lower his head and finally let out a sigh.
"really."
"Is it the man named Xia Lin?"
Luo Zhidao nodded slowly: "That's right."
The young man in white smiled slightly: "Don't worry, brother, I'll take care of everything."
He said this with certainty and confidence.
Just because he is the first in sequence of the human race, the first in sequence of all races, and the closed disciple of the Lord of Heaven, Wuxin!
After he finished speaking, Wuxin smiled and scratched his head: "Master said that my foundation is not stable, and forbade me to go out and work during the audition stage. But when it came to the preliminary stage, Master no longer restricted me from taking action."
"Xia Lin once ruined Master's good deeds. He must die no matter what. Since Brother Dao no longer has the courage to face him, leave his affairs to me."
Having said that, Wu Xin turned around and was about to leave, but Luo Zhidao's voice sounded again behind him.
"This person is very difficult to deal with, Wuxin, don't underestimate him."
Wuxin turned around and smiled at Luo Zhidao, but what he said made Luo Zhidao's face change drastically.
"Don't worry, I'm different from you..."
"I'm not the kind of loser who won't be able to do anything even if I give you a chance."
…
[The 12th Sequence Battle Selection Ash Zone has ended! ]
[Please redeem the pre-qualification certificate as soon as possible, the ranking battle points mall will be closed soon! 】
Before leaving the settlement space, these were the last words Xia Lin heard.
Xia Lin didn't need to do anything else.
In a flash of light, Xia Lin appeared in front of the entrance to the Cinders area of the Canberra gathering place on the Blue Star.
He returned home in a flash, thinking back on his experiences over the past six months, but there was nothing that could leave a deep impression on Xia Lin.
"After all, all we do all day is brush up on attributes, cultivate the Outer Realm, and create Bomb Boys... It's so boring, what's there to talk about?"
That's the truth.
The experience of the past six months is nothing more than an alternative form of seclusion, which can be summed up in two words: cultivation.
Finished.
Now, we need to sort out our gains and then face new powerful enemies and new tests!
Open the attribute list and look at the second occupation.
The professional level of the Pillar of Eternity has been raised to level 9 by Xia Lin, on par with the Uncertain Shadow! It is not surprising to have such a speed, after all, the promotion task is almost not difficult for Xia Lin.
But he was stuck at level nine. The day he reached level ten would be the day Xia Lin would leave the Novice Village, so there was no rush for this.
Looking at the permanent foundation talent - it is still B level.
Even though I have witnessed the talent accelerating the growth of the permanent foundation, the growth rate of this talent is still shockingly slow, and it has not been upgraded in half a year.
Xia Lin was not in a hurry.
Look at the skill bar of the dual professions.
Skills, but there is no change.
A large number of skill bars were left empty, and Xia Lin was not in a hurry to fill them up.
There are two reasons why there is no rush.
1. These vacant skill slots are all prepared for Wuxin.
After you have a basic understanding of Wuxin, you can use fraud and luck to target your skills, and the effect will definitely be better.
The second point is that Xia Lin's attributes have reached the stage where he can break through all obstacles with force without the need for any skills! [Racial value: 100y! ]
[Basic attributes: 1 million y! ]
The two multiplied together, breaking through the fourteenth weighting of the third law! However, such neat attributes and race values revealed something invisibly.
"Attribute cap... There is an attribute cap in the Ash Zone!"
Thinking of what Donald said when he asked him for the optimized version of the life and death battle, Xia Lin sighed slightly.
"This is the reason why he thinks I don't need to pursue higher-level life-and-death duels... The novice village of the Ashes has blocked the attribute caps of Ashes Walkers."
Donald had previously elaborated on the underlying logic during a casual chat at the Dreamtime Tower.
"The Cinder Zone system is a Gu cauldron, for testing."
"And when the attributes reach this level, the Jhin Zone can no longer issue tests for Jhin Zone Walker packages of this strength."
"But whether to leave the Ash Zone is entirely up to the Ash Zone Walker's will. The Ash Zone does not force Ash Zone Walkers to leave the Ash Zone's protection, so there is indeed an attribute cap in the Ash Zone... Leaving the Ash Zone will allow you to continue to increase your attributes."
For a Cinder Walker of this level, killing a regular level 11 player is as easy as killing a chicken.
He could even fight with a level 12 warrior - Wuxin and Donald were both in this category in terms of strength.
Therefore, the Amber system essentially does not want these Amber Walkers to continue staying in the Amber, but to leave the Novice Village and go to the more vast main universe.
——You have graduated with perfect grades. Jhin zone has no room for big guys like you. Get out of here right now.
Instead, Xia Lin still had such doubts.
After Xia Lin reached the peak of the attributes in the Cinders, he fought Donald's dummy in the Dreamtime Tower, but still lost. The attribute gap was confirmed to be 100 times! This puzzled Xia Lin.
In the past six months, Donald has become familiar with Xia Lin and told Xia Lin the reason for this matter directly.
“Because of my profession.”
"My profession is Limit Breaker, and this profession is the only one that can break the upper limit of the attributes of the Ash Zone. The degree of breaking the limit depends on the level of the basic talent of transcending the limit. The foundation level is exactly 100 times."
It is rumored in the outside world that the first person to break the limit in the Cinders is Ocress, a member of the giant clan sequence one.
What the world doesn't know is that Donald's profession is also a Limit Breaker! He should be the number one Limit Breaker in the Ember District! Xia Lin also suddenly realized...
Xia Lin had always thought that the profession of Limit Breaker was actually quite ridiculous.
Not to mention the big problems in itself, universal limit-breaking skills such as Life and Death Battle directly put the limit breaker into the ranks of clowns - what NO.259, what the second most powerful limit breaker in the Amber Zone, is no different from scum in front of Life and Death Battle (inferior).
However, this conflicts with what the Demon Emperor said: every profession has depth to be explored and every profession has its own special features.
At this moment, Xia Lin realized where the strength of the Limit Breaker lies.
The strength lies in the idea of breaking through the limit! As for why Donald, as a Demon Emperor, wanted to change his job to a Limit Breaker, Xia Lin didn't know and didn't dare to ask.
Instead, Donald spoke earnestly at the moment of parting.
"Considering your situation, it would be a better choice to continue staying in the Ashes."
"Even if your attributes cannot be improved, your skill set can still be optimized and improved. Accumulating more six-pillar treasures is also paving the way for the future."
"Right now, apart from Wuxin and me, you have no other opponents in the Cinder Zone. But if you leave the Cinder Zone and appear in the main universe... considering your relationship with the Heavenly Dao Creator, there will be so many variables that even the Six Pillars cannot calculate them."
Xia Lin nodded to show his understanding, and then asked, "When are you going to leave the Cinder Zone?"
As a single-profession limit breaker, Donald's attributes have reached the top, and his skill combination is estimated to have been perfectly perfected.
Logically speaking, he could have left the Cinders long ago to pursue higher attributes and stronger power, but he has always stayed here.
In response, Donald shook his head.
"This depends on the Demon Emperor's arrangement."
Xia Lin nodded in understanding and asked no more questions.
…
Thoughts brought back to the present.
Xia Lin closed the attribute panel, slowly clenched his fist and felt the power flowing through his body.
That is pure attribute power, pure violence that is even stronger than that of ordinary limit breakers!
With such attributes, picking the sun, moon and stars is just a matter of flipping your hand!
Even Xia Lin could clearly realize that with this attribute, he would be able to easily defeat the former Black Star in a fair fight.
"But Black Star, what's that? Wuxin and Donald are the ones I need to chase after at this stage."
Donald's profession and system were determined in the Cinders, and his attributes were fixed to be a hundred times higher than Xia Lin's.
Xia Lin still doesn't understand the unintentional mechanism, but he knows that in front of this person, Donald's attributes are meaningless.
The former is a numerical monster.
The latter is a weird mechanism.
The two heroes in the Jhin area each have their own characteristics, and their features are quite distinct.
"As for me, I am destined to be inferior to Donald in terms of numbers, so I can only improve on the mechanism. This will also be the key that I should complete in my future journey to the Jhin zone."
As his thoughts wandered, Xia Lin suddenly had such a premonition.
I'm afraid I'll be out of the Ashen Zone soon.
He shook his head and ignored these distracting thoughts.
Because the system prompt sound of the Jhin Zone has sounded in my ears.
[The preliminary round of the human race ranking battle is about to begin! 】
[All Jhin Zone players holding the preliminary qualification certificates are requested to touch the Jhin Zone entrance and arrive at the competition venue within three days. ]
[The screening rules for the preliminary round will be announced at that time! ]
Xia Lin didn't hesitate and stood up and set off.
