Ashen God

Chapter 805: Rank Rewards!


"Now that the Skill Level of the Limitless Universe Skill has also been upgraded, let's directly begin enhancing the attribute values. I have sixty Free Attribute Points in hand, which should be enough to increase all the attribute values to 100 points in one go..."

Zhang Yanhang is really looking forward to it, after all, he hasn't enhanced his attribute values for quite some time. Well, maybe not that long since he just recently advanced in rank yesterday.

"Choose! Attribute value enhancement!" Zhang Yanhang immediately started triggering the related options. As Time Pause descended, a familiar text option box quickly appeared right before him.

[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.]

"I used to think about some kind of point allocation strategy, but this time it's different. With the sixty Free Attribute Points in my hand, I can easily increase all four Main Attributes to 100 points. Thus, let's just evenly distribute them. No matter how it's allocated, I can reach 100 points.

So, I choose Option One, Agility attribute value +1."

Previously, Zhang Yanhang would usually start with increasing the Strength Attribute, but this time, because the Strength Attribute has already reached the maximum disparity of the Main Attribute, it couldn't be further increased. Hence, Zhang Yanhang had to start with the Agility Attribute, but fortunately, the difference isn't significant as they all have to be increased to 100 points anyway.

......

On October 30th, Friday, the fifth day after the Double Ninth Festival and also the first day Zhang Yanhang left the Ashen World. At 10:12 AM, in the Main World, Qin Island City, Xingfuli District, household 505, bedroom.

After making fifty-seven consecutive choices, Zhang Yanhang finally completed this round of attribute value enhancement. "This is the first time I've added attribute values and still had three Free Attribute Points left..."

Indeed, the result of rich attribute values is that Zhang Yanhang leveled up significantly, yet couldn't use up all the attribute points.

After enhancing the attribute values, Zhang Yanhang quickly opened his attribute value list to check.

[Strength: 100 (+3)]

[Agility: 100 (+3)]

[Constitution: 100 (+3)]

[Intelligence: 100 (+3)]

[Charm: 96 (+33)]

"Not counting the previously overflowed four points of Strength Attribute Value, my Strength Attribute has increased by 8 points, from the previous 88 points to 96 points. But because the attribute values met the criteria, the previously overflowed four points of Strength Attribute Value converted to normal attribute points, allowing my attribute value to successfully climb to the rank limit of one hundred points.

As for Agility and Constitution Attributes, each increased by seventeen points, from eighty-three to one hundred points, also reaching the rank limit.

Regarding the Intelligence Attribute, it consumed fifteen Free Attribute Points, increasing from the previous eighty-five points of Intelligence to the current one hundred points of Intelligence, aligning with the other three Main Attributes."

Zhang Yanhang recalls that even during his previous rank promotion, he waited until he cleared the Permanent Teleportation Channel before he pushed his attribute values to the rank limit. However, this time, because of excess attribute points, he was able to max out these values from the start.

"Why does it seem like this power increase is faster than the last time?"

Were it not for the Transmission Channel to Raccoon City being inoperable, Zhang Yanhang would even suspect this time he might be able to rise faster than during his Third Tier promotion.

"After all four Main Attributes reached one hundred points, the originally overflowed eight points of Charm Attribute Value were successfully converted into normal Charm Attribute Value, boosting my Charm Attribute from eighty-eight points to ninety-six points, leaving only four points to the rank limit."

Even though Zhang Yanhang indeed still has three Free Attribute Points in hand, he doesn't plan to continue using them on the Charm Attribute. He feels there's no need, as he's already got ninety-six points. The remaining four points should easily be raised through other means, making it unworthy to use Free Attribute Points.

"Now that all four of my attribute values have increased to one hundred points, it's time to work towards the rank limit of one hundred points under unarmored status. Currently, the Main Attributes' attribute value enhancement is only three points each, making a total of twelve points missing.

Considering I still have three Free Attribute Points, coupled with the Limitless Universe Skill currently only at LV.6 and still having significant growth potential, achieving all four Main Attributes at the rank limit under unarmored status should still be very straightforward."

Zhang Yanhang even believes that perhaps if he advances the Limitless Universe Skill to LV.MAX, his four Main Attributes could all reach the true rank limit, and those extra three Free Attribute Points he intends to keep for now, to see which Main Attribute is lacking later, then use it on whichever is needed.

"But no matter what, although I've just advanced in rank, I was able to raise the Main Attributes to one hundred points thanks to a large number of Free Attribute Points and Soul points, smoothly becoming a Peak Fourth Tier Awakened."

For being able to become a Peak Fourth Tier in mere minutes, Zhang Yanhang can only attribute it to the Free Attribute Points he saved up previously, achieving his best expectation, which is to immediately reach the rank peak right after rank promotion.

However, it's well-known that for Zhang Yanhang, reaching the rank peak is just the beginning, as anyone can reach it, and it's those additional power increases afterward that have caused his strength to consistently surpass the Same Tier Awakened.

This time, the strategy of accumulating Free Attribute Points and Soul points turned out to be very successful, further reinforcing Zhang Yanhang's confidence in the strength of this strategy, which he plans to continue implementing in the future as well.

"The power has increased so rapidly this time. If it weren't for the long-prepared transmission channel over in Raccoon City, I would have considered finding a new transmission channel to hunt monsters. Perhaps I could really break the record again and ascend to the Fifth Tier within a day or so."

But now, due to the limitation of the transmission channel's activation time, Zhang Yanhang can only set the time for ascension to be completed within a week. Fortunately, a week is already quite fast.

If things continue to progress at this speed, Zhang Yanhang has no doubt that he can reach the previously planned Sixth Tier, which was originally set for his birthday, before the end of the year. This is also currently the highest rank he knows of on Earth.

However, even so, Zhang Yanhang is certainly not going to retire right after ascending to the Sixth Tier. To truly retire with peace of mind, one must be stronger than the strongest, to prevent some young people who disregard martial virtue from suddenly showing up and beating him up for training material.

After all, by then, this kind of reclusive elder would become the favorite backdrop for young challengers.

"Now that the attribute values have been enhanced, what should be the next step?"

Zhang Yanhang contemplated briefly, then immediately opened his Life Value to inspect it. He wanted to know what his Life Value Limit was after ascending to the Fourth Tier and raising his Constitution Attribute to one hundred points.

[Life Value: 16790/16790 (Constitution × 58 (+15), the body has been officially dataized, life value recovery speed, 55 (+25) points per hour.)]

"After this ascension to the Fourth Tier, my maximum life value conversion coefficient increased by fifteen points, from the previous forty-three points to the current fifty-eight points, which is quite a substantial increase."

Zhang Yanhang remembers that during his last ascension to the Third Tier, he only got a total increase of ten points, and this time he gained five more points than last time, equivalent to the sum of the maximum life value conversion coefficient acquired when ascending to the Second Tier and Third Tier.

"Of course, the most important thing is that my life value limit increased from the original 10040 points to the current 16790 points, a total increase of 6750 points, due to the enhancement of the maximum life value conversion coefficient.

Last time, during the rank ascension, I only increased the life value limit by a little over two thousand points, nearly three times the growth obtained from ascending to the Third Tier. But it's no wonder, because this time I directly maxed out the Constitution Attribute to one hundred points; it would indeed be strange if the life value growth was relatively small."

The 6750 points of life value limit Zhang Yanhang acquired this time are divided into four parts. The first part is the most basic, simply gained from the fifteen-point increase in the maximum life value conversion coefficient, amounting to 1,500 points of life value limit.

The second part is automatically gained from the increase of twenty-five points in the Constitution Attribute, contributing 1075 points to the life value limit.

The third part comes from the 800 points of life value limit acquired as a main attribute rank ascension reward.

In total, these three parts make up 3375 points of life value limit.

Therefore, the fourth part is provided by the 100% life value limit bonus from Indestructible Golden Body·Original LV.MAX, amounting to 3375 points of life value limit.

It's because this percentage bonus increase is truly fierce that Zhang Yanhang has always valued it highly.

"6750 points of life value limit, compared to the previous 10040 points of life value limit, translates to about two-thirds growth just from ascending one rank. Ascension is indeed the best means for increasing power, but unfortunately, ascending ranks is quite difficult.

This time, the 6750 points of life value limit allowed me to achieve six small goals in a row. The next small goal is still set at a life value limit of seventeen thousand points. Currently, I am 210 points short of achieving this 17000-point small goal."

Aside from the growth in life value limit, Zhang Yanhang also noticed that the life value recovery speed increased due to the rank ascension, growing from the previous 30 points to 55 points, a gain of twenty-five points.

"For every five points the Constitution Attribute increases, the life value recovery speed grows by one point, and now it's automatically increased by five points as it directly rose from seventy-five points to one hundred points. Thus, the additional twenty points in the life value recovery speed should all be the reward from the rank ascension."

Zhang Yanhang remembers that last time, when ascending to the Third Tier, he only got a ten-point increase in life value recovery speed, so this time the improvement has doubled compared to the Third Tier.

However, for Zhang Yanhang, who hardly ever gets injured, this life value recovery speed indeed isn't of much use. After all, dividing fifty-five points across an hour, it doesn't even recover one point per minute, which is indeed quite slow.

"Given my current life value recovery speed of fifty-five points per hour, it would take a total of 305 hours to fully recover my 16790 life value limit. Dividing by twenty-four, this converts to thirteen days, which is roughly two weeks. It's really too slow."

Compared to automatic recovery, Zhang Yanhang indeed finds potion usage more convenient.

"A typical Fourth Tier Awakened would have a maximum life value conversion coefficient of about 15+5+10+15=45 points. Multiplying this by one hundred points of Constitution Attribute gives a total of 4500 points of life value limit.

But my current 16790 points of life value limit is only about 3.7 times that of a Fourth Tier Awakened. As expected, just after a rank ascension, the previously completed small goals immediately lose effect."

This is why Zhang Yanhang wisely set his next small goal to maintain at four times the limit even after ascending to the Fourth Tier.

"Although it is currently ineffective, it is just 0.3 times away, which means it lacks only a bit more than a thousand points of life value limit. It should still be quite easy to enhance."

Zhang Yanhang feels that raising his current life value limit to five times that of a Same Tier Awakened might be difficult, but simply replicating the previous four times small goal should be easy as pie.

After all, he should be able to achieve this small goal immediately just by enhancing the Indestructible Golden Body Skill Level and gaining additional life value limit.

Of course, this assumes that he has a sufficient balance of Soul points. According to his estimation, upgrading an Origin LV.6 skill should require almost twenty million Soul points. Last time, he thoroughly cleared the large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Tarano and barely collected nearly twenty million Soul points.

But fortunately, Fourth Tier is Fourth Tier indeed, and the efficiency of Soul point acquisition will certainly improve significantly. What was difficult for the Third Tier should be easier to gather for the Fourth Tier, probably.

Since Zhang Yanhang hasn't formally hunted any monsters yet, the specific efficiency of acquisition remains to be seen in practice (real combat process).

After reviewing the life value limit, Zhang Yanhang quickly moved on to opening his Shield Value Limit to inspect it. He believes that compared to the life value limit, the growth in the Shield Value Limit will undoubtedly be much more spectacular.
