Chapter 826: Profession Level LV.35! Heading to Outer Space!


"Although the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Skill has been upgraded from Original LV.MAX to Origin LV.5, the skill's energy consumption hasn't changed much, remaining at a minor level of physical strength consumption."

In actual practice, Zhang Yanhang could still feel the increase in energy consumption during usage, but the increase was indeed small. If it's just this level of physical strength consumption, he might not have any issue keeping it active for a month.

"But it's rather normal that the energy consumption doesn't change much just by upgrading to Origin LV.5; the most likely change usually occurs at Origin LV.6."

Based on Zhang Yanhang's past experiences, once he upgrades Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to Origin LV.6, the skill's energy consumption will definitely spike significantly, but since the base energy consumption of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil is already very low, even a considerable increase is likely to make little difference to him.

Moreover, even if the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil's physical consumption were to increase fivefold or even tenfold, it wouldn't be much of a problem for him. After all, he currently has such abundant physical strength that he can cast Death Wave thousands of times consecutively, let alone Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil.

After all, is it likely that the physical consumption of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil could be higher than Death Wave? That's obviously unrealistic since one is a support skill and the other is an attack skill.

"So, the question is, now that the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill has been upgraded, what should I do next?"

Feeling uncomfortable just leaving the two million soul points sitting in his balance, Zhang Yanhang silently opened the level panel.

[Name: Zhang Yanhang (Fourth Tier)]

[Race: Human]

[Profession: Heavenly Destiny Master]

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

[Soul Points: 2051437]

"Should I upgrade my profession level?"

Zhang Yanhang previously felt there was no need to rush the upgrade, but now he thinks, considering he has surplus soul points, perhaps it would be beneficial to upgrade, especially because he is eager to see the promotion requirements for the Fourth Tier. Since promotion is something best prepared for early, he concludes.

"In that case, let's proceed with the upgrade." Zhang Yanhang immediately clicks on the upgrade on the level panel.

[Consume 1600000 soul points to upgrade profession level to LV.35?]

"Yes, upgrade profession level to LV.35."

Zhang Yanhang has already made plans; after clearing the monsters in the Christmas teleportation channel, if he gains many soul points, he will allocate part to upgrading his profession level. Alternatively, he could fully max out his Heavenly Destiny Master to LV.40, to check the requirements for advancing to the Fifth Tier.

[Profession level successfully upgraded to LV.35, Free Attribute Points +6.]

"After previously upgrading my Heavenly Destiny Master to LV.34, I had three leftover free attribute points. Now, upgrading to LV.35 has awarded me six more, giving me a total of nine free attribute points."

Due to the expected increase in attribute value after systematically upgrading Limitless Universe Skill - which likely guarantees a full boost - Zhang Yanhang decided not to use the free attribute points this time. Instead, he will keep them until after advancing to the Fifth Tier.

After upgrading the profession level, Zhang Yanhang promptly reopened the level panel.

[Name: Zhang Yanhang (Fourth Tier)]

[Race: Human]

[Profession: Heavenly Destiny Master]

[Level: LV.35 (0/2000000)]

[Soul Points: 451437 (-1600000)]

"After spending 1,600,000 soul points to upgrade the profession level, my soul points have indeed dropped from seven digits to six. The former 2,050,000 soul points now remain at just 450,000.

But now, it's entirely impossible to spend more soul points; I don't have any consumption point below 450,000.

Or even not below 2,000,000, since my lowest consumption target now is to continue upgrading the profession level, where upgrading to LV.36 requires 2,000,000 soul points due to the increase from the prior 1600000 soul points by another 400,000 soul points.

Following this pattern of upgrading, Zhang Yanhang estimates that ultimately, he may need another 10,000,000 soul points to fully upgrade Heavenly Destiny Master's profession level to the Fourth Tier limit of LV.40.

This 10,000,000 might have seemed much before, but at his current stage, it isn't much considering he had just spent 20,000,000 soul points upgrading Fatian Xiangdi. Thus, gathering the extra 10,000,000 soul points won't be difficult. Consequently, unless unexpected issues arise, his plan is guaranteed for success.

"With my profession level upgraded to LV.35, just by level alone, I am at least a Fourth Tier Middle Stage Awakener, although even at LV.34 I was already regarded as Fourth Tier Middle Stage."

Obviously, in terms of sheer strength, Zhang Yanhang has undoubtedly reached the peak of Fourth Tier Awakeners; he doesn't believe any other Fourth Tier Awakener could be stronger than him.

After upgrading his Heavenly Destiny Master profession level, Zhang Yanhang continued to open the data panel to check. He felt like he hadn't examined the data panel for a long time.

"Compared to when I first advanced, the data panel indeed underwent many changes. The Profession Level increased from LV.34 to LV.35, and the soul points balance dropped to six digits. While the Life Value Limit and Shield Value Limit didn't change much, the Energy Value Limit saw another increase."

Due to the 'Nuclear Fusion' state provided by the microscopic artificial star, Zhang Yanhang automatically consumed a thousand Life Value early this morning and gained another sixty points increase in Energy Value Limit.

However, Zhang Yanhang felt a bit disappointed because the 'Nuclear Fusion' state, for some reason, did not benefit from the Swallowing Heaven and Earth skill's enhancement. It only received a 60% Energy Value Limit boost from the SS-rank Scroll Dragon Bloodline, adding just an extra 36 points to the Energy Value Limit.

As a result, his Energy Value Limit increased from the previous 14099 to 14195, growing by a total of ninety-six points.

"It's unexpected that the Nuclear Fusion state cannot be boosted; it's somewhat distressing. Besides eating early, the main reason might be that the 'Nuclear Fusion' state alone cannot be classified as an artifact but is considered only a positive state.

Therefore, if one wants to enhance such a positive state, one should find abilities that can provide a boost to 'states'."

But since Zhang Yanhang rarely needed such things, he thought it better to forego the cumbersome state-enhancing type of boost, as it seemed unnecessary. After all, he had advanced to the Fourth Tier and only obtained this one long-duration positive state of 'Nuclear Fusion'.

And who knows when he would obtain a similar positive state again, so finding this kind of niche state-enhancement ability had very low returns, and the development prospects looked minimal. It was better to focus on searching abilities that could enhance strength or speed to improve his abilities.

"Now, each of the four main attributes only lacks the final three points to reach the actual tier limit, and I happen to have nine free attribute points. If I distribute them, I could immediately elevate three of the main attributes to the tier limit."

But distributing points was absolutely not a choice, as Zhang Yanhang had long planned to save free attribute points until reaching the Fifth Tier. Besides, even if points were distributed, it would not result in an actual improvement in strength, at most making the attribute list look better, which was of little actual significance.

"Since the permanent teleportation channel only involved clearing monsters, it was impossible to obtain treasure boxes and rely on them to unlock new talents. Therefore, compared to before, the talent list showed no change, but the skill list fortunately had some progress.

Both Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil and the Heavenly Earth Form have advanced to the new stage."

The previously uniform LV.MAX skill list didn't look so harmonious after the appearance of the anomalies, Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil·Origin LV.5 and Heavenly Earth Form·Original LV.6, but harmony or aesthetics didn't matter. Zhang Yanhang wasn't obsessive about such things, as long as his strength improved.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang believed he should quickly advance all skills to the new stage and correspondingly raise them to LV.6 to gain additional attribute bonuses.

After checking the data panel, Zhang Yanhang, feeling thoroughly unoccupied, started pondering about hunting monsters again.

"To execute that punch descending from the heavens, I first need to fly into outer space. By the way, ever since I learned to fly, I haven't been to outer space, have I?"

As for why, naturally, Zhang Yanhang saw no need for it. After all, there were no Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to obtain in outer space, nor were there any other living humans. Why would he go to outer space with nothing to do; to scout escape routes in advance? That really wasn't necessary.

"Even though I haven't been to outer space, with my current speed of twenty-eight Mach, going to the moon would only take twelve hours at most. Exiting the atmosphere naturally shouldn't take much time."

Having thought of this, Zhang Yanhang immediately attempted flying to high altitudes.

At a speed of twenty-eight Mach, far surpassing the first cosmic speed, Zhang Yanhang took only two seconds to fly over the troposphere, then another second to fly over the ozone layer, and then only two more seconds to fly over the stratosphere, entering the mesosphere.

But he only stayed in the mesosphere for three seconds; three seconds later, he quickly passed through the mesosphere and entered the thermosphere at a height of eighty kilometers.

In the thermosphere, he flew upward for just two more seconds, where, at roughly a hundred kilometers above the ground, Zhang Yanhang suddenly felt a bit stuck.

Of course, this wasn't due to Zhang Yanhang's own limitations, but simply because his Fourth Tier flight ability, due to related principles, could only support him flying this high. After all, the principle of his flight ability involved Earth's gravity, and the strength of Earth's gravity meant reaching this altitude already taxed his ability.

"But logically, Earth's gravity should certainly be more intense than this, so it must be my tier not being high enough, with my body energy quantification still relatively low. I estimate that after advancing to the Fifth Tier, I should unlock abilities for free flying in outer space."

Despite discovering a shortcoming in the flight ability, fortunately, in daily life, this flaw had no affect on him. Plus, since the flight was free without energy consumption, he couldn't be too demanding. Thus, while finding this, whether it counted as a flaw or not, Zhang Yanhang felt it was fine.

"Fortunately, besides the Fourth Tier free flight ability without consumption, I had long acquired the related flight ability through the Third Tier Magic Flying Technique from the spell list."

Even though Zhang Yanhang rarely used it, thanks to tier advancement and his own increase in Intelligence Attribute Value, even the mere Third Tier Flying Technique received a significant boost.

At least supporting his current flight was definitely not an issue; the only concern was slightly higher energy consumption, but with Zhang Yanhang currently capable of recovering twenty-nine Energy Value per second, it wasn't a problem.
