MTLNOVEL CHAPTER 206
Chapter 206: The System's Evolution
The transition from Mortal Realm to Physique Realm was a momentous occasion for any superhuman. For Lu Ming, however, it was almost effortless.
His body had long surpassed the physical requirements. All he needed was a final surge of mysterious factors to push him over the edge.
In just three minutes, the tide of Origin Power receded.
Lu Ming had absorbed all the energy he needed.
He slowly opened his eyes, a surge of newfound power coursing through him. His bones felt denser, his muscles more defined. But these changes were masked by the Self-Limitation State, leaving his outward appearance unchanged.
Opening his attribute panel, Lu Ming noticed the interface flickering erratically, as if the system itself was undergoing a transformation.
Moments later, the system "rebooted," revealing a brand new interface and updated attributes.
Note: Due to your breakthrough from the Mortal Realm to the Physique Realm, the system has automatically upgraded. The upgrade is now complete!
Note: After the upgrade, the system has optimized your attribute data, skills, and Origin Power skills in all aspects!
Below these messages, Lu Ming's detailed attributes were displayed.
Name: Lu Ming (Status: Self-Limitation State)
- Level: Level 1 of Physique Realm
- Strength: 2000 (18,156,160)
- Physique: 2000 (18,152,934.4)
- Agility: 2000 (18,141,747.2)
- Free Attribute Points: 0
- Divine Origin Points: 40
[Note: For simplicity, your attributes will be compressed by a factor of 10,000 and rounded. At the same time, the system has unified your three-dimensional attributes to 2,000 points.]
[Note: Your ability performance will not change. Your current attributes are equivalent to 20 million at the Physique Realm.]
[Note: After removing the influence of the Body Forging technique, the three-dimensional attribute of a normal Level 1 Physique Realm superhuman is 1 point.]
In essence, Lu Ming's data had been compressed.
But he hadn't become weaker. The measuring standard had simply changed.
Previously, in Mortal Realm terms, the attributes of a Level One Physique Realm expert were 10,000. Now, according to the system's new judgment, they were just 1 point.
The reference point had shifted, and so had Lu Ming's attribute data.
In this way, Lu Ming had actually profited greatly—the system had essentially gifted him nearly 20 million three-dimensional attributes from the Mortal Realm!
However, a question lingered in Lu Ming's mind.
In the future, how will the attributes gained from daily exercise and Origin Power Skill cultivation be calculated?
He continued reading.
Free Attribute Points: 0
Divine Origin Points: 42
This time, he had obtained 2 Divine Origin Points for his advancement.
Transcendent Abilities:
- Body Self-Limitation
- Void Domain (Intermediate)
The two superpowers, Body Self-Limitation and Void Domain, remained unchanged.
Basic skills:
- Cultivation Lv1 (0/100): The daily limit of attribute points you can obtain increases by 1 point.
Note: Through daily exercise and training, you can gain 1 point of three-dimensional attributes. Coupled with the [Cultivation] skill, you can currently obtain 2 points of three-dimensional attributes every day!
Lu Ming's eyes lit up with excitement.
This is a game-changer! he thought.
The system upgrade had not only reset his skill proficiencies but also amplified the rewards. Before, he earned a single attribute point for his daily training, but now, thanks to the Cultivation skill, he would gain two!
And each of these new attribute points was worth a staggering 10,000 of the old ones. His path to power had just become exponentially faster.
Mortal Realm Origin Power Skills:
- Basic Breathing Technique (Perfect) (1,984/100,000)
- Explosive Fist (Intricate 200,000/1,000,000)
- Source Power Armor (Intricate 290,000/1,000,000)
- Weapon Transformation Technique (Perfect 12,000/100,000)
- Feather Space Technique (Master 1/10,000)
- Gale Saber (Perfect 80,000/100,000)
- Great Dragon Spear (Perfect 10,000/100,000)
- Spiritual Energy Bullet Rain (Perfect 35,000/100,000)
- Knight Body Forging Technique (Master 3,120/10,000)
(Other basic skills remain unchanged)
[Note: These are Mortal Realm Origin Power Skills. From today onwards, you will not gain attributes when you cultivate Mortal Realm Origin Power Skills! This includes the Knight Body Forging Technique!]
[Note: However, please remember that your efforts will never be in vain! If you cultivate a Mortal Realm Origin Power Skill to its limit, you may receive unexpected and substantial effects and rewards!]
Lu Ming frowned, contemplating the mixed blessings of the system's upgrade.
He had fully mastered several Mortal Realm Origin Power Skills. While pushing them to their limits might not yield substantial Physique Realm attributes, it still felt like a missed opportunity.
However, the second note caught his attention.
"Will there be other gains if I cultivate Mortal Realm Origin Power Skills to their peak?"
"I suppose I can experiment and see what those gains might be."
It would be a minor investment of time, and after his experience in the Void Realm, Lu Ming could confidently say, "I have plenty of time."
He reviewed his updated skill list:
Physique Realm Origin Power Skill:
- Apocalypse (Master 4,064/10,000): A powerful staff technique created by a member of the Spirit Clan. When used, it's like a divine thunder strike that annihilates all things, hence its name!
- You have mastered the application of Apocalypse.
That was it.
The once Master level Apocalypse now only provided a fraction of its former attribute gains.
The same applied to the Atomic Sword Technique and his newly acquired Spirit Realm Origin Power Skill, the Ten Directions Tyrant Fist.
- Atomic Sword Technique (Perfect 60,000/100,000): A Physique Realm Origin Power Skill, a refined sword technique as delicate as atomic cutting! Extremely terrifying in power but difficult to cultivate.
- You have perfectly mastered the application of the Atomic Sword Technique.
Spirit Realm Origin Power Skill:
- Ten Directions Tyrant Fist (Entry 1/100): A Spirit Realm Origin Power Skill. This technique emphasizes overwhelming power with its form! When you use this fist technique, your Spiritual Pressure intensity will surge, intimidating and killing your enemies!
- You have tentatively grasped the usage method of the Ten Directions Tyrant Fist.
These were the extent of the system's changes.
Lu Ming closed the attribute panel and reflected on the situation.
"My attributes have been compressed by 10,000 times," he thought, "but the system compensated me with some additional attributes, which is a significant gain."
"In the future, the attributes obtained through daily cultivation will change from the original 63 points to the current 2 points. However, each new point is equivalent to 10,000 of the old ones, so it's still a massive improvement!"
"Mortal Realm Origin Power Skills no longer provide attributes, but there might be special gains when cultivated to the extreme. It's worth exploring. Overall, I'm at a slight disadvantage, but not by much."
"I can still obtain attributes from Physique Realm and Spirit Realm Origin Power Skills."
After his analysis, Lu Ming muttered, "However, without the Knight Body Forging Technique as a daily method to farm attributes, I'm a bit idle now..."
And Lu Ming was not one to sit still.
"I need to find a high-level Body Forging Technique to cultivate... Yes, to continue farming attributes, I need to acquire more Physique Realm and Spirit Realm Origin Power Skills."
But those were concerns for another time.
"The most urgent matter now is to advance! Keep advancing!"
The thought of the Divine Origin Points fueled his determination.
Finding Physique Realm Origin Power Skills wouldn't be difficult.
But finding another Divine Origin "mine"... that would be a challenge.
