Therefore, compared to the issue of one-time skill consumption, Zhang Yanhang was more concerned about the number of extra limbs. He found that, as the skill level increased, the number of extra limbs also increased, quite predictably.
"However, after leveling up five times, I gained one head and two arms. How exactly is this calculated?" If Zhang Yanhang were to formulate a mathematical equation to solve this, it would probably look like 'Head = X, Arms = Y, X + 2Y = 5, solve for X and Y.'
Though the increase in the number of extra limbs wasn't surprising, the extent of the increase was a bit frightening, with Physical Attack Bonus base and Energy Attack Bonus base increasing by 50% and 100%, respectively.
Furthermore, with six arms and three heads, I gained a total of 360% increase in both Physical and Energy Attack Bonuses. Compared to the Three-Headed Six-Armed Skill at LV.1, that's a full 320% more in both Physical and Energy Attack Bonuses, which is indeed quite exaggerated.
But although it's exaggerated, on second thought, it's not all that shocking after all, since this is an active skill, and the bonuses only apply when it's manifesting. Therefore, it shouldn't be compared with passive skills like Fighting Master and Gun Mastery, which continuously provide a 210% bonus to both Melee and Remote Attack Powers under normal conditions.
Rather, it should be benchmarked against an active skill like Indestructible Golden Body. Currently, my Indestructible Golden Body provides a threefold Defense Bonus, whereas Three-Headed Six-Armed provides a 3.6-fold increase in both Physical and Energy Attack Bonuses. So, it's not too exaggerated after all.
After all, Indestructible Golden Body also includes a passive effect that boosts the Life Value Limit by 60%. In contrast, Three-Headed Six-Armed is purely an active skill. Lacking a passive effect makes its active effect reasonably stronger.
Moreover, although Indestructible Golden Body appears to offer only a threefold increase, with concentration, it can be boosted to sixfold, and with further compression, it can even reach twelvefold.
Compared to that, even if the bonuses from Three-Headed Six-Armed are stacked, they only reach 720%, which still has a significant difference from the 1200% on the other end."
Upon such comparison, the 360% bonuses to Physical Attack Power and Energy Attack Power provided by Three-Headed Six-Armed suddenly seem less outrageous—even Zhang Yanhang felt it might be slightly weak?
Fortunately, upon upgrading to LV.6, Three-Headed Six-Armed acquired an Additional Attribute that could increase its strength, namely Copper Head Iron Forehead, which further boosts attack power by 60%.
"Speaking of which, shouldn't Copper Head Iron Forehead increase defensive power? Why does it increase attack power? Could it be because Chi You is adept at headbutting? It's quite likely, considering that it would be a waste not to use such a solid head."
Zhang Yanhang felt that this Additional Attribute, which provided an extra 60% attack power, was a substantial enhancement to the strength of the Three-Headed Six-Armed skill.
Taking into account the 60% attack power provided by Copper Head Iron Forehead along with the Physical and Energy Attack Bonuses, this altogether offers a boost of 840%. Although there's still a 360% gap from the 1200% offered by Indestructible Golden Body, it's quite impressive.
After all, the strength of Indestructible Golden Body primarily comes from having many Additional Attributes boosting its power.
And, the Three-Headed Six-Armed skill has just acquired one Additional Attribute. The potential for future growth remains vast, with plenty of possibilities such as Four-Headed Eight-Armed. Zhang Yanhang believed that with further leveling up, achieving something like Four-Headed Eight-Armed wouldn't be difficult.
After all, since the skill name is Three-Headed Six-Armed, it's unlikely to stop growing after just gaining two more heads and four more arms, right? That would clearly not do justice to the skill's name, nor to the Heavenly Destiny Master Profession and the Multiple Choice Talent.
After reviewing the skill effect of Three-Headed Six-Armed at LV.6, Zhang Yanhang didn't rush to conduct any experiments; instead, he immediately began leveling up the skill levels of another skill, "Choice! Skill Level increase."
...
October 29, Thursday, the fourth day after the Double Ninth Festival and also the first day Zhang Yanhang left the Ashen World, at 6:16AM, in Qin Island City, Xingfuli District, unit 505, bedroom.
After triggering five more successful choices, upgrading Fatian Xiangdi to LV.6, Zhang Yanhang still couldn't trigger an option related to additional attributes, "It seems Fatian Xiangdi is also a skill with a fixed reward."
However, Zhang Yanhang wasn't disappointed; he immediately began to check his soul points balance.
[Soul points: 7346 (-198400)]
"Alas, the soul points balance has decreased by 198,400 points again, dwindling from six figures to four. Two hundred thousand soul points really burn up quickly, just upgrading Fatian Xiangdi to LV.6 and now only 7346 points remain.
Having only 7346 soul points means I truly can't upgrade anything now, not to mention reaching Third Tier, I can't even upgrade much in Second Tier."
Sighing, Zhang Yanhang felt he really needed to find a permanent teleportation channel to urgently farm some soul points, as the soul point requirements for Third Tier were just too high, and the points he accumulated in Second Tier couldn't support his upgrading needs.
After checking his soul points balance, Zhang Yanhang didn't delay and immediately opened the skill effects of Fatian Xiangdi LV.6.
[Fatian Xiangdi LV.6 (Active Skill)]
[Active effect: Upon activation, Heavenly Destiny Master can freely transform (enlarge) his body, reaching a maximum transformation limit of 1200% (+1000%) +600%=1800% [currently at 36 meters (+34 meters)], Power effect +300% (+250%). No cooldown time, consumes a small amount of physical strength.]
[Additional attributes: Maximum transformation limit +600%.]
"Fatian Xiangdi really lives up to its name, not a false talent name like others; these professional skills of Heavenly Destiny Master never disappoint me, genuinely substantial. Being called Fatian Xiangdi, it really proves accurate; just raised to LV.6 and it can already reach a height of 36 meters.
Certainly far surpassing other transformations that only reach ten meters like Giant Transformation, High-level Giant Transformation, Frenzy Skill, and High-level Frenzy Technique."
Of course, Zhang Yanhang was also somewhat surprised that Fatian Xiangdi could reach this level. He always thought that the 200% at LV.1 certainly included his own 100%, so, subsequently, each level up would probably only increase the transformation limit by 100%.
But it turned out he thought too small; each level up actually increases the transformation limit by 200%, and besides that, the additional attributes of Fatian Xiangdi raised to LV.6 further increased by 600%, pushing Zhang Yanhang's maximum transformation limit directly from the original 200% to 1800%, increasing it eightfold.
"Fatian Xiangdi itself has a very straightforward skill effect. Now that it's raised to LV.6, the acquired additional attributes are even more simplified—just a sheer increase of 600% in the maximum transformation limit. But simplicity is a good thing; I like these straightforward but effective skills."
Thinking about how he could elevate himself to thirty-six meters just by upgrading Fatian Xiangdi to LV.6 excited Zhang Yanhang, not to mention he felt that Fatian Xiangdi could also be stacked with Giant Transformation and Frenzy Skills.
However, excitement aside, Zhang Yanhang planned to later find a secluded place to experiment with these two skills. The Three-Headed Six-Armed could be set aside, after all, it was just about growing a few more heads and arms, but Fatian Xiangdi really couldn't be tested at home.
"Don't even mention his house, let alone the whole building he lives in not being tall enough to accommodate his Dharma body after using Fatian Xiangdi; if he really tried this at home, he estimated the entire building would collapse instantly. It might even affect the neighboring buildings—it's really not necessary."
"So, here comes the question, now that I've just acquired two Third Tier professional skills, Three-Headed Six-Armed and Fatian Xiangdi have been upgraded, and all the soul points have been spent, what should I do next?"
Zhang Yanhang wasn't without tasks to do; on the contrary, he had so much to do that he found it difficult to choose, as his mild decision-making difficulty did not cure itself with the promotion in ranks.
After a bit of thought, Zhang Yanhang felt that he should first add a round of free attribute points and enhance his attribute values before tackling other matters.
However, before upgrading, Zhang Yanhang first opened his attribute list to take a look—he wanted to know what his attribute values were after lifting the rank restrictions so he could make a precise plan for subsequent attribute enhancements.
[Strength: 54 (+3)]
[Agility: 53 (+3)]
[Constitution: 53 (+3)]
[Intelligence: 58 (+3)]
[Charm: 49 (+16)]
"The charm attribute was originally at fifty points, but now after advancing in rank, it has unexpectedly dropped to forty-nine points. It seems that the all-attribute +1 provided by the White Ten-piece Set really failed, and the equipment bonus attributes for the other four main attributes also diminished a bit, all dropping from a four-point to a three-point bonus."
Although he had anticipated this, Zhang Yanhang still felt uncomfortable seeing the charm attribute suddenly drop to forty-nine points. Fortunately, it wasn't a big issue, as he was already at the Third Tier and could easily raise it back up later.
"Due to the SS-grade Scroll Dragon Bloodline, the intelligence attribute really is outstanding, reaching fifty-eight points right after the promotion, creating a gap of maximum five points with agility and constitution attributes on the main attribute cap. Later, the input of free attribute points on the intelligence side will definitely be less than the other attributes.
Besides intelligence, my other three main attributes are as evenly distributed as ever, with agility and constitution gaining from the equipment enhancements, both being fifty-three points, whereas strength is just slightly higher at fifty-four points."
Speaking of these fifty-four points, Zhang Yanhang recalled that the number of his free attribute points was also exactly fifty-four. Although it might not be enough to raise all four main attributes above seventy points, it was certainly sufficient to exceed sixty.
"Choose! Attribute enhancement!" Zhang Yanhang had been long awaiting this attribute enhancement, ever since reaching the Second Tier Peak—an anticipation spanning over a week.
[Would you like to enhance attribute points?]
[Option One: Strength +1 point.]
[Option Two: Agility +1 point.]
[Option Three: Constitution +1 point.]
[Option Four: Intelligence +1 point.]
[Option Five: Charm +1 point.]
As Time Pause spell took effect, a long and not very familiar row of text options quickly appeared in front of Zhang Yanhang.
"This time around, it's definitely impossible to continue raising the sub-attribute charm with free attribute points, since there are only fifty-four free attribute points in total—not even enough for raising the four main attributes, let alone a sub-attribute like charm."
Although Zhang Yanhang had previously mentioned considering raising the charm sub-attribute after progressing in rank, it was just a consideration. After consideration, the result was to temporarily not enhance charm since he indeed didn't have enough free attribute points right now.
If there were excess free attribute points, then perhaps he could consider it, but that would be a matter for later; for now, it was definitely impossible to enhance intelligence.
"So, I choose Option One, Strength +1." Since he was adhering to the principle of evenly distributing points, Zhang Yanhang didn't struggle much with the decision and quickly chose strength; due to the maximum attribute point disparity, he would naturally alternate points among them.
...
After continually triggering fifty-four options related to attribute enhancement, Zhang Yanhang finally completed this round of attribute point enhancement.
[Strength: 70 (+3)]
[Agility: 65 (+3)]
[Constitution: 70 (+3)]
[Intelligence: 67 (+3)]
[Charm: 49 (+16)]
Although Zhang Yanhang initially spoke of evenly distributing points, it turned out not to be entirely even—just relatively so.
Of his fifty-four free attribute points, sixteen went to strength, raising the strength attribute from 54 points to 70, twelve to agility, raising agility from 53 points to 65, and he used the most—seventeen—on constitution, raising it from 53 points to 70.
On the intelligence attribute, which was initially exceptionally prominent and unrivaled, he only used nine free attribute points, raising intelligence from 58 points to 67, but that was still impressive, albeit less than agility by two points.
As for why he didn't raise the intelligence attribute to seventy points first, it was mainly because Limitless Universe Skill provided quite a few intelligence points. This three-point disparity between intelligence, strength, and constitution attributes will likely be easily filled back up by upgrading Limitless Universe Skill later.
