363: Conditions for condensation

“So that’s it, Mental Energy is the direction you chose when you Advanced to a Sky Soaring Warrior.”

Chen Du’s original six-tenths certainty now became absolute!

Just now, although his offensive was fierce, the various consumptions stacked up, and this state could only last for a little over ten minutes.

Once the time was up, he would experience the after-effects of Promotion: weakness.

And to be honest, according to the previous trend, Chen Du wasn’t confident he could inflict serious injuries on Chen He’an within a few minutes.

The opponent’s turtle-like evasion tactic, while not viable in the long run, had some effect in the short term.

Although his opponent’s Martial Skill level and combat experience were far inferior to his own, he was still a Sky Soaring Warrior after all.

Just one Star Mark alone granted him 1 million jin of strength. Chen Du’s base strength, even with the Promotion and Eight Secret Chambers’ amplification, was only 850,000 jin, which was less than what one Star Mark granted his opponent.

The calculation method for base strength is sequential calculation.

As the name suggests, it calculates base strength according to the sequential stages of Life Strength.

The base strength corresponding to the Life Strength Rank is first multiplied by the Mystic Treasure’s amplification multiplier, then the total base strength corresponding to the number of Star Marks is added.

The final base strength obtained is the ultimate base strength of that life form.

Except for the first Star Mark, generally speaking, any subsequent Star Mark requires the Mystic Treasure-multiplied base strength to be greater than the strength granted by the Star Mark.

Let’s take Chen Du’s current situation as an example.

The strength granted by the second Star Mark is 5 million jin, and the amplification of the Eight Secret Chambers is 340%.

The base strength corresponding to Rank 24 is 2.5 million jin. After the Eight Secret Chambers’ amplification, the base strength is 8.5 million jin, but this strength needs to subtract its original 2.5 million jin.

The remaining 6 million jin is greater than the 5 million jin granted by the second Star Mark. At this point, Chen Du can condense the second Star Mark.

This is also why Chen Du was certain that Chen He’an only had one Star Mark.

If he wanted to condense the second Star Mark at Rank 21, he would need Ten Secret Treasures!

But that was impossible, at least it couldn't happen to Chen He’an.

If he were really that formidable, he wouldn't have been cooped up Underground all this time.

The same principle applies to subsequent Star Marks. Generally speaking, only when the base strength amplified by the Mystic Treasure exceeds the strength granted by the next Star Mark is there hope of condensing the next Star Mark.

Why say “hope”? Because Xu Tian didn’t elaborate on this matter; he merely described it simply. If this strength standard were followed,

then anyone who became a Domain Warrior would be able to condense at least three Star Marks. Yet, among the three greatest powerhouses of the High Martial Civilization, only Rhein succeeded.

Additionally, each Star Mark strengthens the ability chosen when advancing to a Sky Soaring Warrior.

Most people’s ability strength is one star, which means one Star Mark.

Although Chen He’an’s strength was above Chen Du’s,

he couldn’t fully unleash it. The Big-Eared Alien Race’s influence on him was too great. For example, if half of your heart was cut off, could you still exert your original strength?

The answer is yes, but at the cost of accelerating death.

There was no other way; this was the price of disability.

However, Chen Du had long planned for this. When he arrived, Chen Du had observed the architecture here along the way and had already identified several corners where no one passed.

When the Promotion was nearing its time limit, he would directly use Hand of God to swap out and hide in those corners, then put on the Concealment Necklace.

Only a small part of this palace was brightly lit, and the eyes of the Big-Eared Alien Race could not see through darkness.

Relying solely on Mental Energy perception would be blocked by the Concealment Necklace, which would prevent them from confirming Chen Du’s location in a short time.

And this brief period was precisely what Chen Du needed.

In a few seconds, or at most a few tens of seconds, he could fully recover his stamina.

“That’s right, the direction I chose is Mental Energy.”

Chen He’an generously admitted. Such a strong fluctuation was clearly a Mental Energy attack; there was no need to hide it, nor could he.

He wasn’t surprised that Chen Du knew about the ability selection. Regardless of Small Civilization or High Martial Civilization, everyone seemed to have some unspoken rules.

During the Martial Artist stage, generally at Rank 19, those above would impart knowledge related to Sky Soaring Warriors.

If you couldn’t reach Rank 19, you were basically deemed to have no chance of becoming a Sky Soaring Warrior in this life, as the most difficult part before becoming a Sky Soaring Warrior was the 0.9 Ranks from 19 to 19.9.

If you couldn’t even reach Rank 19, how could you complete the subsequent 0.9 Ranks?

Although Warrior Gem or warrior sage stone could accomplish these things, these 0.9 Ranks were the stage with the highest probability of Awakening a Mystic Treasure during the Martial Artist stage.

Many Martial Artists experienced a Breakthrough during this stage, surpassing their upper Rank limit as Sky Soaring Warriors.

Of course, some also exhausted their potential. Despite countless efforts, their Rank never improved. At this point, taking a Warrior Gem or warrior sage stone could immediately make them a Sky Soaring Warrior.

However, such Sky Soaring Warriors generally stopped at Rank 20-21, or if lucky, Rank 22.

“Thought Wave Needles is the ability I gained after making my choice.”

“This is a very powerful Mental Energy attack method.”

“I’m not afraid to tell you, there are a million needles surrounding you right now!”

“These needles will all pierce your body and rotate once every minute, lasting for a total of one hour.”

Chen He’an paused, looked at the living dead on the ground, and revealed a cruel smile:

“Then, within that hour, I will complete all the disciple assessments on your body!”

Thought Wave Needles.

Chen Du silently repeated the name in his heart.

Many people could become Martial Artists, but very few could become Sky Soaring Warriors.

According to the High Martial Civilization’s ratio, only one Sky Soaring Warrior would emerge from ten thousand Martial Artists; otherwise, they wouldn’t be called Genius.

Therefore, the abilities at the Sky Soaring Warrior stage rarely overlapped.

Chen Du had never seen the Thought Wave Needles ability before. Like Xu Tian’s ‘Golden Sword of Resistance,’ it belonged to the Mental Energy category.

However, Xu Tian’s Golden Sword of Resistance focused on defense, while Chen He’an’s Thought Wave Needles focused on offense.

At that time, in the Black Forest of the Big Eye Alien territory, it was also this Golden Sword of Resistance that defended against the Big Eye Alien’s Mental Energy attack.

Chen He’an had never used his Mystic Treasure ability from beginning to end, and many Sky Soaring Warriors were the same.

Chen Du knew this was due to the upper limit issue.

Mystic Treasure abilities all had an upper limit, and of course, Sky Soaring Warrior abilities were also like this, though their upper limit was higher.

Especially low-level Mystic Treasures, like 1 and 3, using these quantities of Mystic Treasure abilities at the Sky Soaring Warrior stage would only be a waste of Qi.

Only some special abilities were useful.

Take Hand of God as an example: the 1 Mystic Treasure Hand of God could exchange a distance of 100 meters, and the 3 Mystic Treasure was only 500 meters. At the Sky Soaring Warrior stage, where speed starts at the speed of sound,

such an exchange was just a waste of stamina. Coupled with the mechanism of accumulating consumption with continuous use, no matter how strong a person was, they couldn’t use it continuously.

However, if this ability had enough Mystic Treasure quantity to support it, it could still be used.

But Hand of God was most often used by Chen Du for stamina consumption, combined with Promotion to drain the last bit of stamina, then he would pass out immediately after use.

Promotion, on the other hand, belonged to the Fifth Secret Treasure’s ability, considered a mid-to-high-level Mystic Treasure. It could still be used at the Sky Soaring Warrior stage, but not at the Advanced Aerial Warrior stage, because its upper Rank limit was only 24.9.

As for whether this ability could still have a qualitative Breakthrough after subsequently Awakening the Ninth Mystic Treasure and Tenth Mystic Treasure, it was hard to say.

Among Chen Du’s Mystic Treasure abilities, only Hand of Atim and the Alien would not become obsolete with the passage of time.

These two abilities were one main weapon and one trickster.

“Gather!”

Chen He’an looked at Chen Du, who was floating in the air just like him, with some excitement. He clenched his fist and slowly chanted.

The million fine needles composed of Mental Energy also seemed to receive the firing command at this moment.

With a “whoosh,” they collectively and precisely stabbed towards Chen Du.

Just as Chen He’an was eagerly anticipating the scene that would follow, Chen Du, who was about to be struck by the fine needles, suddenly glowed red on his body Surface...
