"Or rather, when he was at the First Tier, Zhang Yanhang would often use his abilities when he was weak and faced the threats of Lickers and Hunters, or even when besieged by Tyrants. Back then, he relied frequently on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to predict enemy attacks. But as he grew stronger, he gradually became too lazy to use them.
So, you could say the sole reason he stopped using it was simply that his enemies weren't strong enough. If you were to make Zhang Yanhang fight a group leader now, I bet he would definitely use it again.
For example, he could rely on foresight to predict the group leader's teleportation spot and, at the very moment of completion, set up a Strong Space Anchor to prevent further teleportation, forcing them to stand still and experience a fist-to-flesh exchange with Zhang Yanhang.
That is, drag the enemy into his own domain and then crush them with the close-combat skills provided by the Fighting Master.
After reviewing the attribute list of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil·Original LV.MAX, Zhang Yanhang immediately tried out the effect of the Original LV.MAX version of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil.
The moment his Perception spread out, Zhang Yanhang heard the sound of the ocean – the perpetual, surging waves continuously pouring into his ears, accompanied by a gentle breeze. He understood immediately what that Perception Vibration mentioned in the Additional Attributes really was; it allowed him to perceive sound.
Moreover, Zhang Yanhang could clearly feel the color quality of the perceived image had taken a qualitative leap, as if jumping directly from 720P HD to 1080P Full HD, and it was the high framerate version too, without a hint of lag.
When Zhang Yanhang initially acquired Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, he saw things as if watching a standard-definition silent film – viewable, but uncomfortable.
Although it later improved to 720P HD which was quite nice, the silent film was still somewhat unbearable. And now, 1080P Full HD with high framerate plus 360-degree surround sound has suddenly opened the door to a whole new world for him.
"This is also possible because I'm on a deserted island in the middle of the Yellow Sea; otherwise, your beloved daily life would be live broadcast right in front of me every day!"
The main reason Zhang Yanhang wasn't so keen on observing humans now was the absence of sound. He had to guess the story development, so it was a bit boring.
But now it's different – he can hear sound. In the future, his interest in observing humans may be rekindled, since sound can sometimes be really important, especially for conveying emotions. Otherwise, no matter how excited people looked, he would just feel puzzled.
"The citizens of both North and South City Districts are truly blessed."
Having a powerful Awakened like Zhang Yanhang, on par with Fourth Tier, monitoring their daily lives in real-time and ensuring their safety is something these folks are indeed fortunate to have.
Although Zhang Yanhang wouldn't necessarily rescue them personally if something really happened, he could at least help by making an emergency call.
Of course, if something truly interesting happened, he might still teleport directly there. For instance, if there's a murder or treasure snatching, he wouldn't mind at all taking advantage of the situation.
After scanning for a while, Zhang Yanhang found that the Stamina consumption of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil really didn't increase much. It was about the same as when he last upgraded it to Original LV.MAX – roughly only doubled.
Even though the Skill Effect had greatly enhanced in terms of quality and sound, and the coverage area had doubled, the stamina consumption only increased by twice as much. If he did the math, Zhang Yanhang even felt as if the stamina consumption of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil had decreased after the upgrade.
Apart from the quality and sound, the upgrade of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to Original LV.MAX also granted him Penetration Power, a sub-attribute he would very much need going forward.
Zhang Yanhang had already tested it; his Penetration Power had significantly increased. Previously, when scanning materials like rocks and soil, he could only probe into a thousand meters deep, but now it was different – he could penetrate three thousand meters underground when scanning the desolate island beneath him, almost doubling his capability.
Of course, the increase in Perception Range also played a significant role here. But even so, according to his estimates, his current Penetration Power had at least doubled. He was certain it would prove particularly useful when scanning for Crimson Iron Ore Veins.
After sorting out Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, Zhang Yanhang suddenly realized he didn't seem to have anything else to do. After all, whether it was his Cultivation Technique or Profession Level, he had already maxed them out, and his skill levels too.
"Although I have over a million Soul Points left, I need three million Soul Points to upgrade a skill from Original LV.6 to Original LV.MAX; what I have left now is probably not even half of that. Since there's nothing more to do, I might as well check the Data Panel."
Zhang Yanhang said this as he opened the Data Panel, which he was keenly aware would show substantial changes since he had just advanced to Peak Third Tier.

"I must say, the changes in this status panel are indeed substantial this time. From Profession downward, almost everything has changed, except for Talent and Luck.
Now, four of my five attributes have reached the tier limit of seventy-five points, with only the sub-attribute Charm still below seventy-five points. I will need to find a way to increase Charm to seventy-five points in the future."
Zhang Yanhang felt that this should be an easily solvable problem, given that he still had so many fingers without rings. He just needed to get a few more rings from the Crimson Iron Ore Vein, and those eight points of Charm attribute value gap could surely be bridged with ease.
Of course, the drop rate of First Tier Crimson Iron Ants might be an issue. He had only just ascended in tier and hadn't properly killed any monsters yet. He had no idea to what extent the drop rate for First Tier monsters would fall.
But he thought as long as the drop rate didn't fall to something like getting a treasure box for every fifty kills or one hundred kills, then it wouldn't be a problem.
It would just be a matter of the drop rate falling to the same as that of an ordinary Awakened killing monsters of the same tier, which was still acceptable. It was merely sharing in the bitter and sweet with the common people. If other Awakeners could endure it, he certainly could as well—well, probably.
"This time I have upgraded four Original LV.MAX techniques: Limitless Universe Skill, Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, Technique Immunity, and Death Wave. There are still five skills that remain at Original LV.6, which means I still need to gather about fifteen million soul points."
Having witnessed the real soul point acquisition efficiency of the Third Tier, Zhang Yanhang felt that fifteen million soul points wouldn't be difficult to collect. Perhaps it would only take cleaning one or two areas to gather them.
What had become truly difficult to collect was the Ash Source; Legendary Essence requires only one point, which is easy to talk about, but the Ash Source needs seven points. Additionally, because his Alchemy also needs to be upgraded, there is a total gap of nine points of Ash Source to deal with.
If the Ashen Treasure Box after ascending to Fourth Tier still only contains three points of Ash Source, then he would need to clear at least three areas to obtain that much Ash Source.
Of course, logically speaking, it should definitely increase. Even if it only increases by one point to four points of Ash Source, he should not need to clear three more areas; at most, he would only need to clear two areas.
After all, upgrading Alchemy isn't truly necessary. The essential consumption of Ash Source is only for ascending in tier. If there really isn't enough Ash Source, then he could wait to upgrade his Alchemy until after he ascends to Fourth Tier.
"Suddenly remembered something, I haven't had the chance to make a promotion plan after advancing to the Third Tier..."
Since there were only five skills left, Zhang Yanhang was even a bit too lazy to make a promotion plan. He felt that it was perfectly okay to just upgrade them in order straight away, namely Gun Mastery, Fighting Master, Indestructible Golden Body, Fatian Xiangdi, and Three-Headed Six-Armed.
Well, maybe he still could adjust it a bit. He thought he might upgrade Indestructible Golden Body and Three-Headed Six-Armed first, then upgrade Gun Mastery and Fighting Master, and finally upgrade Fatian Xiangdi last.
After all, the height from Fatian Xiangdi was currently sufficient, and besides, upgrading it would definitely increase the stamina consumption. If his Hundred Feet Dharma Body could hardly last for three minutes after an upgrade, it would be a tad embarrassing.
Even though his stamina limit had significantly increased with the recent Constitution Attribute enhancement, it was still nothing much compared to the consumption of Fatian Xiangdi and definitely wouldn't allow for its constant use, hence he didn't need to hurry to upgrade it, although Fatian Xiangdi was indeed very powerful.
"By the way, it seems that Supreme Will still hasn't unlocked the option for the next promotion stage even after advancing to the Third Tier? Is it that difficult to promote?"
Zhang Yanhang had previously thought that a Second Tier professional skill like Supreme Will would definitely unlock subsequent promotions and enhancements upon reaching the Third Tier, but unexpectedly, there were absolutely no signs of any unlocks even after advancing to the Third Tier.
While the other professional skill obtained at the Second Tier, Indestructible Golden Body, had already been promoted to the Original Stage and might even reach Original LV.MAX soon.
"Could it be because the effects of Supreme Will are too strong? That's indeed a possibility..."
Zhang Yanhang remembered that Supreme Will allowed him to be immune to most negative effects and spiritual attacks initiated by enemies with Intelligence Attribute lower than his own.
For enemies not exceeding his Intelligence Attribute by more than thirty points, it could directly reduce 90% of the negative effects and various spiritual attacks, meaning he could be immune to any negative attacks from the Third Tier, and even reduce the effects of negative attacks from Fourth Tier enemies by 90%.
Furthermore, even for enemies with Intelligence exceeding his own by thirty points, which would be at the 105-point Fifth Tier level, it could reduce 75% of the attack effects, roughly meaning that he could almost ignore Fifth Tier negative attacks.
Beyond that, enemies with Intelligence exceeding Zhang Yanhang by sixty points could still have their attack effects reduced by 50%, regardless of how much higher they were.
That would require possessing 135 points in Intelligence, belonging to the legendary Sixth Tier category, which even Awakeners in the Main World hadn't reached, and it seemed the highest was merely Fifth Tier Awakeners at the moment.
So, without exaggerating, it can be said that Zhang Yanhang could basically ignore most negative effect attacks from all Awakeners in the Main World.
Given the current potency of Supreme Will, Zhang Yanhang might actually understand why there still haven't been any unlocks for subsequent promotions and level-up options after advancing to the Third Tier; it indeed was too strong.
Zhang Yanhang figured that if it really was unlocked and could be upgraded, then he estimated upon reaching the maximum level, it wouldn't just stop at the Sixth Tier like now, but there was a significant chance it could even greatly mitigate attacks from some Seventh Tier enemies.
"By the way, when promoting to the Fourth Tier later, I wonder if it will be possible to unlock the subsequent promotions for Supreme Will."
What Zhang Yanhang was primarily interested in was obtaining new additional attributes; he had always taken quite an interest in additional attributes.
