[Profession level successfully upgraded to LV.34, free attribute points +6.]

"Before advancing in rank, I accumulated a total of thirty-six free attribute points, and from LV.30 to LV.34, I gained another twenty-four free attribute points, so now I have a total of sixty free attribute points to use, equivalent to ten levels' worth of free attribute points.

If these sixty free attribute points are distributed among the four main attributes, each main attribute can receive fifteen free attribute points, allowing all four of my main attributes to increase directly from seventy-five points to ninety points...

But in reality, due to my strength attribute overflowing by ten points, my final attribute value should definitely be above ninety points."

Even if Zhang Yanhang considers the sub-attribute charm alongside these sixty free attribute points, each attribute can still receive twelve points, which is quite generous, given that this is all the free attribute points one can gain in an entire rank.

[Name: Zhang Yanhang (Fourth Tier)]

[Race: Human]

[Profession: Heavenly Destiny Master]

[Level: LV.34 (0/1600000)]

[Soul points: 15,905,317 (-1,200,000)]

"After upgrading the profession level of Heavenly Destiny Master from LV.33 to LV.34, my soul points balance dropped from seventeen million one hundred thousand soul points to fifteen million nine hundred thousand soul points, a decrease of one million two hundred thousand soul points once again.

And the soul points required to upgrade the profession level from LV.34 to LV.35 have increased again by four hundred thousand, from the original one million two hundred thousand to one million six hundred thousand, gradually becoming more daunting, almost like the consumption needed to upgrade the original skill from LV.9 to LV.MAX."

Because upgrade requirements are gradually increasing, Zhang Yanhang feels it might be good to stop at LV.34 for now, waiting for needs to arise before upgrading further. After all, he still needs to reserve soul points to upgrade skills, even if nothing else gets upgraded, at least the Limitless Universe Skill should be upgraded, as he is looking forward to experiencing the new Fourth Tier abilities.

After upgrading the profession level of Heavenly Destiny Master, Zhang Yanhang did not rush to immediately enhance his attribute values but instead began to look at the two professional skills he just obtained.

Upon advancing to the Fourth Tier, Zhang Yanhang obtained two new professional skills, and he first opened the skill effect of 'Heaven and Earth Devourer' to start examining.

[Heaven and Earth Devourer LV.1 (Passive/Active)]

[Passive Effect: Artifact (buff) usage (consumption) effect +5%]

[Active Effect: After skill activation, the Heavenly Destiny Master can use the mouth entrance to swallow material and energy into the Stomach Space, and through digesting the material and energy in the Stomach Space, grow personal physique, and restore energy value, with no cooldown time, consuming a small amount of physical strength.

Current Stomach Space capacity is 100×100×100=1,000,000 cubic meters.

Current absorption efficiency of Stomach Space is 398 (energy value recovery speed) ×0.5%=2 energy points/second.]

"Swallow material and energy, then restore my energy value or grow my physique depending on digestion efficiency?"

To be honest, although the skill effect description is fairly detailed, Zhang Yanhang still doesn't quite understand it.

"Is this so-called physique growth permanent? Does it make my body larger?"

If that's the case, Zhang Yanhang is actually quite interested, because after his body gets larger, the base that Fatian Xiangdi can enhance would also increase, thereby raising his transformation limit.

"As for this energy absorption, it seems to be determined by my energy recovery speed to decide how much energy I can absorb per second. As it stands, I can absorb two energy points per second.

This means I can recover two energy points per second, 120 energy points per minute, and 7,200 energy points per hour...

Wow, although I don't know the specific efficiency of physique growth, just the energy recovery speed alone is astonishingly fast."

Zhang Yanhang previously said that even if his energy recovery speed were increased by thirteen times, it would still be awful, but now this speed is equivalent to thirty times.

"Previously, my energy value limit needed about thirty-five hours, including relevant energy recovery speed bonuses, and dividing by thirty times makes it equivalent to seventy minutes, and my limit of 8,280 energy points, at the current recovery speed of two energy points per second, requires sixty-nine minutes, so it really is exactly thirty times.

And this is only LV.1, already thirty times previous. If it were upgraded to LV.MAX, wouldn't it directly hit three hundred times?"

Zhang Yanhang feels that if he were to honestly upgrade, he probably wouldn't have any hope of increasing the energy recovery speed to three hundred times in his lifetime, but now, with just one skill, this possibility is on the table...

"Of course, more important than this energy value limit is the fact that Heaven and Earth Devourer actually has a passive effect? When consuming artifacts, effect +5%?

If I understand correctly, does this mean when I use artifacts to increase the energy limit or other benefits, I can gain related bonuses?"

Unfortunately, Zhang Yanhang does not currently have any relevant artifacts to test, he can only wait until later for testing.

After finishing looking at the skill effect of Heaven and Earth Devourer, Zhang Yanhang quickly opened the skill effect of No Taboos to start examining.

[No Taboos LV.MAX (Passive skill)]

[Skill Effect: Heavenly Destiny Master can forcibly use items regardless of usage requirements without affecting the relevant effects. Heavenly Destiny Master can forcibly use items three ranks below its own (currently, the lowest is white quality). Heavenly Destiny Master can forcibly enter areas three ranks below its own (currently, the lowest is the First Tier Area).

Wherever you go, there are no concerns. Heavenly Destiny Master can forcibly exempt factors related to 'Prohibition/Taboo', including but not limited to arrays, barriers, seals, space imprisonment, subspace exile, dimension stripping... as well as destiny manipulation, soul distortion, void deformation, flesh pollution... etc. effects.]

"Oh crap?! How come I just opened it and it's already LV.MAX? Doesn't it need an upgrade?"

Zhang Yanhang was already astonished by the skill level before even checking the specific skill effect.

"Doesn't not needing an upgrade mean I'm missing out on two additional attributes?"

Indeed, Zhang Yanhang was not at all excited about potentially saving millions or even tens of millions of soul points; instead, he felt that he lost two important additional attributes.

"But now that things have come to this, there's nothing that can be done about it. Fortunately, the skill effect of No Taboos is really strong. Even if I'm missing additional attributes, it's not a big problem.

Given the current situation, the most important effect of No Taboos for me is that it allows me to forcibly use items three ranks below my own, and I've just been promoted to the Fourth Tier, so going down there's only three more ranks, which means, theoretically, I should be able to use all qualities of items I can currently access.

And since it says 'item' and not simply weapons or equipment, perhaps I can freely use low-rank artifacts as well.

Moreover, thanks to the first rule of ignoring item usage requirements, theoretically, I can even consider starting to remake red and yellow pills and normally gain the previously rated Life Value Limit increase after consuming them..."

The effect formed by pairing the first and second rules together, Zhang Yanhang feels is quite against the natural order, allowing him to gain massive related bonuses by consuming various low-quality artifacts—provided they can be obtained.

"And the third rule allows me to freely enter all low-level areas, even the First Tier Area. Before, I thought it would certainly be the last time I would visit the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalaguli to clear out monsters, but unexpectedly, even though I've been promoted to the Fourth Tier, I can still enter the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu normally.

This way, I can freely farm low-level areas. However, since the yield from low-level areas is fairly low, in normal circumstances, if there's no urgent need, sticking to regular areas would be better."

Although Zhang Yanhang can now farm the First Tier Area, even if he clears it all out, he'd probably only get tens of thousands of soul points. A single Death Wave in a high-level area would earn more than that.

Also, although he can now use low-level equipment, due to the rank penalty causing a decrease in the treasure box drop rate, the equipment he can unlock from clearing low-level areas would only cause the already weak additional attributes to become even weaker due to the fusion times.

Unless they're artifacts like an amulet that provides bonuses without being equipped, Zhang Yanhang would never intentionally use these low-quality equipment to replace the gear he has, as that would only weaken him.

So, regarding equipment, this ability to ignore restrictions is most useful for him in maintaining a certain degree of 'freshness' in the equipment acquired in low-level areas. He can wait for more suitable, higher-quality, and better-effect equipment to appear before making replacements.

At least it won't be that the equipment becomes outdated just days after acquiring it; it can at least last a good ten days or half a month.

"Moreover, besides these abilities related to rank restrictions, No Taboos can also make me forcibly exempt from elements related to 'Prohibition' and 'Taboo'..."

Zhang Yanhang initially thought the taboo must be connected together and related to some forbidden power, but now it seems the prohibition and taboo are actually separate.

"The first part of the prohibition allows me to ignore arrays, barriers, prohibitions, seals, space imprisonment, subspace exile, dimension stripping... and other related factors that might limit or hinder my forward progress.

And the latter part of the taboo seems more like it's expressing 'taboos' or 'fears,' allowing me to exempt from destiny manipulation, soul distortion, void deformation, flesh pollution... these kinds of shady things that sound very unsettling, enabling me to charge directly at enemies possessing these special types of attacks without fear."

Although Zhang Yanhang hasn't encountered the latter part of the 'Taboo', he is very familiar with the first part, especially with arrays, barriers, and prohibitions, as whenever he scans Zhou Muxi for fun, he often sees related things at the headquarters of relevant departments.

Previously, it was because of the barrier there that he couldn't directly teleport to Zhou Muxi's office, but could only teleport to the entrance of the office building and then walk up the stairs.

But now, if he goes to visit Zhou Muxi again, he can skip this hassle by directly teleporting to her and give her a 'surprise.'

Moreover, when clearing the permanent teleportation channel previously, the parallel space Zhou Muxi arranged was essentially a subspace exile type of ability.

It could directly envelop the teleportation channel into the parallel space, and could also operate in reverse, bringing ordinary people into the parallel space while banishing monsters to the normal Main World, which in every sense should belong to the subspace exile type of ability; now, if someone tries to use this ability against him, he can forcibly exempt it.

Of course, Zhang Yanhang can only exempt himself and cannot stop opponents from exiling themselves, so the best way to respond is to preemptively use a Strong Space Anchor to stabilize the surrounding space area before the opponent acts, preventing them from using self-exile to flee.

"Moreover, the most important thing is, since I can ignore space imprisonment, I am the one imprisoning others, but others cannot imprison me, and I can open the teleport to escape at any time.

If I encounter enemies with space abilities, or if I'm pursued by relevant departments, this ability will surely be extremely effective."

Of course, for Zhang Yanhang, who only occasionally scans the city environment and sometimes even calls the police after witnessing a public safety incident, there's no need to worry about being hunted down by relevant departments. Hmm, at most, he just has to worry about being chased by Zhou Muxi, whom he scans all the time.

"Although I haven't encountered the 'Taboo' part currently, if I wait until the day I do encounter it but don't have the related resistance, it'll be too late. These shady elements seem to be the abilities only high-level enemies can possess, so early prevention is indeed very important.

Especially the type of abilities related to destiny manipulation. For me, who has a destiny system talent and is destined to awaken the ability to speak and follow, it can only be me using Multiple Choice to manipulate others' destiny, and absolutely not allowing others to interfere with mine."

Zhang Yanhang finds this point quite commendable.

"As for things like soul distortion and flesh pollution, they sound like something related to Cthulhu..."

Zhang Yanhang knows little about Cthulhu, but he has good impressions of Yog Bubble, Mother of Black Mountain Goat, and Nai Yazi, because he read mangas featuring them before the Spiritual Qi Recovery, hmm, and the views were indeed quite pleasing.
