"LV.3 and LV.5 aren’t that different, and since it’s impossible to reach LV.6 to gain additional attributes, regarding the enhancement of Supreme Will, I’d better wait until next time when I’ve gathered enough soul points to upgrade the Supreme Will Skill directly to LV.MAX," he thought.
Currently, among Zhang Yanhang’s nine skills, only the Supreme Will remained in the initial stage; the rest had either been elevated to LV.MAX or had already been promoted. Therefore, he was certainly going to prioritize enhancing the Supreme Will Skill next.
He would only consider promoting other skills after he had elevated the Supreme Will Skill to LV.MAX. After all, compared to other skills that require up to fifty thousand or even a hundred thousand soul points for upgrades, the mere twenty-thousand-plus soul points needed to reach LV.MAX for Supreme Will seemed extremely friendly.
"So, I choose option five, upgrading the Limitless Universe Skill to LV.6. Sigh, just thinking about the increased demands for soul points afterward makes me feel a bit distressed, but thankfully, it hasn’t reached the level of consumption like Technique Immunity; otherwise, I really couldn’t afford it."
Although logically, upgrading a skill to LV.6 would grant an additional attribute, this does not apply to the Limitless Universe Skill because it’s a cultivation technique, belonging to a completely different category from the other skills. So, whether it’s upgraded to LV.6 or LV.MAX, the Limitless Universe Skill cannot gain any additional attributes.
Though Zhang Yanhang too would have liked to see additional attributes, unfortunately, he had verified this aspect with the Limitless Universe Skill at its first tier; there indeed was no extra additional attribute, only the fixed increase of three attribute points with each upgrade.
Therefore, based on this reason, after the disappearance of Time Pause, Zhang Yanhang didn’t have any option related to choosing additional attributes.
After upgrading the Limitless Universe Skill LV.6, Zhang Yanhang silently prayed for an increase in his Agility attribute, and then he began to check the skill effects of the Limitless Universe Skill.
[Limitless Universe Skill [Second Tier] LV.6 (Passive/Active)]
[Passive Effect: Strength +1, Agility +1, Constitution +1, Intelligence +1, Charm +1.]
[Active Effect: Actively operate the cultivation technique, using spiritual energy to enhance one’s defensive power, attack power, and movement speed. No cooldown time, consumes a certain amount of energy value depending on the specific bonuses.] Updates are released by nοvelfire.net
[Additional Attributes: First Tier—Strength +6, Agility +6, Constitution +6, Intelligence +10, Charm +2.]
[Additional Attributes: Second Tier—Strength +4 (+1), Agility +4 (+1), Constitution +3, Intelligence +6 (+1), Charm +1.]
"Increased Agility by one point as expected; I told you a two-thirds probability isn’t that likely to miss. Plus, it also increased Strength by one point, not bad at all."
Compared to Strength, Zhang Yanhang was more concerned with the fixed increase of that one point in the Intelligence attribute. With this point, his Death Wave Skill would further elevate by five points of fixed damage, moving from six hundred ninety points to six hundred ninety-five points of fixed damage, a mere fifty-five points shy of the seven hundred fifty-point cap.
However, because the Intelligence attribute had already reached the Second Tier Limit of fifty points, the remaining fifty-five points would now entirely depend on an increase in the Charm attribute.
At the same time, aside from Death Wave, which benefited from the Intelligence attribute bonus, the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Skill also reaped benefits from the increase in Intelligence.
Every point in the Intelligence attribute could extend the coverage range of the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Skill by twenty-five meters; hence, now its coverage area had expanded from three thousand seven hundred twenty-five meters to three thousand seven hundred fifty meters.
This was nearly the maximum range that Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil LV.MAX could cover. Further increases would be difficult unless Zhang Yanhang could promote Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to the Original Stage, which might allow some enhancements in coverage.
Alternatively, if he could promote his rank to Third Tier, unlocking higher maximum attribute values, the coverage range of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil might similarly increase substantially.
But currently, both of these methods were beyond what Zhang Yanhang could achieve shortly; hence, the three thousand seven hundred fifty meters of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil’s coverage would likely remain for a considerable period before experiencing any enhancement.
After quickly checking the skill effects of the Limitless Universe Skill LV.6, Zhang Yanhang then immediately opened his attribute list.
[Strength: 50 (+5[-2])]
[Constitution: 50 (+5[-2])]
[Intelligence: 50 (+5)]
"I was promoted to Second Tier on October 13, and today issoctober 20; exactly one week has passed, and I’ve successfully reached the Second Tier Peak.
Since I reached Second Tier Peak in just a week, using the remaining two weeks to promote to Third Tier is almost certain."
Zhang Yanhang liked to make plans for many things. The plans he set might be completed ahead of schedule due to some changes, but they would never be postponed or fail because he always considered everything thoroughly and allowed plenty of leeway.
This time was no different. With a total of three weeks for promotion, Zhang Yanhang managed to reach Second Tier Peak in just one week. He felt he wouldn’t use up the remaining two weeks, and he was sure to advance a few days earlier.
As for whether it would be half a week or a full week earlier, that depended on the yield at Goblin Plain. If the gain was substantial enough to grant Zhang Yanhang a large sum of soul points, he could potentially be promoted to Second Tier next week.
But if the yield was average, he should still be able to promote to Third Tier before the end of November, as the three-week timetable he had set was definitely quite generous.
"Ordinary Awakened spend at least half a month or even a month just to promote to Second Tier, not to mention advancing to Third Tier, which definitely takes more time. If I manage to promote to Third Tier within two weeks, I should be able to catch up significantly.
Since even the group leader, who possesses strong Talent as one of the first batch of Awakened, has only reached Fourth Tier, other Awakened are likely also mainly around the Fourth Tier level; hence, if I can promote to Third Tier, I should be able to rank among the upper tiers of the Awakened community."
