466: Kun

“Phew… that was close.”

Chen Du, standing by the Ascension Passage, slowly opened his eyes, letting out a soft breath, a hint of relief flashing through them.

“I didn’t expect my body to be unable to move when condensing the second Star Mark.”

“Good thing I chose to condense it during this time.”

Chen Du murmured to himself. Previously, the condensation of the first Star Mark was a direct bestowal, without any process.

However, the condensation of the second Star Mark was like a master teaching you a Martial Skill; you just sat there, absorbing it without moving.

The only difference was that this absorption process was mandatory and couldn't be stopped midway.

Fortunately, the condensation time wasn't long.

If he had done such a thing outside the Roast Chicken Civilization, there was a high probability he would have been discovered.

Then, out of habit, after a noticeable increase in his strength, Chen Du instinctively looked at the panel in his mind.

Name: Chen Du

Life Strength: Rank 21

Mental Energy: Rank 29

Base Strength: 15.9 million jin

Speed: 15 times the speed of sound.

Martial Skill: Crescent Moon Swordplay (Tier 2) Control 34%

Mental Martial Skills: War Stomp, Spirit Bell Shield, Mels Reflection (Enhanced)

Crystal Space Martial Skills: Void Immortal Contemplation Method, Life Goddesss Favor, Crystal Clone, Bloom

Mystic Treasure Quantity: Ten Secret Treasures, Hand of God (One), Hand of Atim (Three), Promotion (Five), Alien (Seven), Etherealization (Ten)

Star Mark: Nimble Cats Grace ★★

Defense Waves: 5/5 (Completed), 10/10 (Completed), 15/15 (Completed), 20/20 (Completed), 22/25 (Incomplete), 22/30 (Incomplete), 22/35 (Incomplete)

For every 6 Ranks of Life Strength increased, one evolution will be obtained. Evolutions obtained: 3. Remaining Ranks until next evolution: 3.

The base strength corresponding to Rank 21 is 1 million jin. After the 890% amplification from the Ten Secret Treasures, it becomes 9.9 million jin.

The above is the bonus for the Martial Artist stage. Chen Du is currently a Sky Soaring Warrior, so he needs to add the bonus for the Sky Soaring Warrior stage after that.

The first Star Mark bestowed 1 million strength, and the second Star Mark bestowed 5 million strength, totaling 6 million.

Adding them all up, that's the 15.9 million jin on the panel. This number is Chen Du's base strength without using Martial Skills.

Due to the terrifying amplification effect of the Ten Secret Treasures, Chen Du's base strength increases significantly with every Rank he gains.

Especially this time, he also condensed the second Star Mark.

Compared to his base strength at Rank 20, it has increased by almost 3 times.

His speed has also more than doubled, reaching a terrifying 15 times the speed of sound!

On the panel, the speed value, like the base strength, is the maximum value without considering Martial Skills.

This time, in addition to base strength and speed, there was also a huge improvement!

Nimble Cats Grace was promoted to two stars!

With this Promotion, Nimble Cats Grace gained a new effect.

“Mental Suppression.”

This name might sound like it suppresses the opponent's Mental Energy, but in reality, it's not.

Instead, it uses the Mental Energy Rank difference to create a hierarchical suppression against the opponent!

The two-star Nimble Cats Grace still maintains absolute 1v1 invasion and equalized Ranks after invasion.

Of course, the prerequisite for both is that his Mental Energy is greater than or equal to the opponent's.

Before two stars, Chen Du's higher Mental Energy was almost useless; it only meant a higher ceiling and a wider range of target individuals he could affect.

But now, Chen Du's excess Mental Energy has become useful.

For every 1 Rank his Mental Energy exceeds that of the invaded, the opponent will suffer a 5% hierarchical suppression. 0.1 to 0.9 Ranks are all counted as 0.

This suppression is like Chen Du facing a Sky Soaring Warrior during his Martial Artist stage; it's an all-encompassing suppression, equivalent to applying a debuff.

This new effect is very powerful, but its prerequisite is also very clear: his Mental Energy must exceed the opponent's, and the more it exceeds, the better.

If his Mental Energy is at the same Rank as the opponent or doesn't exceed it by 1 Rank, this ability is equivalent to a one-star ability.

If his Mental Energy Rank is even lower than the opponent's, it's directly equivalent to not having the ability of the Sky Soaring Warrior stage.

This is a relatively double-edged sword ability.

Regarding this ability, if you are only good at Mental Energy, it's not enough.

You must possess a very high Mental Energy talent to make your Mental Energy Rank far ahead of others.

To be honest, Chen Du doesn't think he's good at Mental Energy, and his Mental Energy talent isn't even considered high.

But there's no other way; the Crystal Space's Mental Energy increase mechanism makes this ability incredibly powerful in Chen Du's hands!

The Awakening of abilities is like this; it's not something you actively choose, but rather comes with a certain degree of randomness.

Even if the Sky Soaring Warrior stage has the prerequisite of directional choice, it's impossible for everyone to Awaken an ability they are very satisfied with.

But fortunately, in this regard, Chen Du is lucky; his abilities are quite well-suited to him.

After confirming the information on Nimble Cats Grace, Chen Du was not prepared to stay.

However, just as he was about to leave, four figures appeared in his Mental Energy perception.

“One more?”

“Is that the so-called Captain?”

Chen Du murmured.

If based on the most classic Advanced Aerial Warrior configuration:

Rank 25, Five Secret Treasures, Martial Skill Control 34%, two Star Marks.

Then his base strength is exactly 15 million, similar to mine, or even a little weaker than mine.

Assuming he was still Rank 20, if he only used Bloom, he could only try to escape. To defeat the opponent, he would have to use the Mystic Treasure's Promotion.

But now it's different; even without using these two abilities, he has a chance to win!

Although consuming the Great Lingkong Pill at Rank 20 was a bit of a waste, what's the use of resources if his life is gone?

Looking at the current situation, Chen Du felt that his previous decision to stay and improve instead of going out was a wise move.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Soon, four figures, accompanied by “bang bang bang bang bang bang” sonic booms, appeared before him.

“Don’t even think about escaping, invader! Your time has come!”

As soon as the four figures arrived, Diss, standing behind one of them, pointed at Chen Du and shouted.

Rank 25.

Chen Du ignored him and first confirmed the Rank of the leading Roast Chicken alien.

“Is this the Captain you spoke of?”

Chen Du asked with an unperturbed expression.

“Hmph!”

“You’re on the verge of death and still putting on airs!”

Diss saw that Chen Du remained unfazed after seeing the Advanced Aerial Warrior, and a hint of anger rose in his heart.

Is the Heavens Chosen King really that arrogant?

“Listen to me, our Captain’s name is Commander Falakunmier!”

“In our civilization, the character ‘Kun’ is the highest honor bestowed.”

“Only our great leader, Yerusalakun, can bestow it; one cannot name oneself.”

“Our teacher, who is also the Captain of the Enforcement Team, was only granted the character ‘Kun’ by the great leader because he Awakened the Seven Secret Treasures!”
