Three-star Talent
Within a forest region, a fierce wind blew past with fierce stomping sounds shaking up the ground. At this moment, an immense iron-armored rhino dashed over like a speed train, tearing apart the ancient trees that were in its way.
It was actually a beast at the peak of level eight! Its attack could even grievously injure a peak level nine expert and possibly kill them.
If a level eight expert was here, they would certain wet their pants, wishing desperately to escape, but it would be useless since its speed is just too fast.
But what was even more surprising was that behind the iron-armored rhino, there was actually a youthful figure madly chasing after it with frightening intensity.
Flashes of a sharp object travelled in a beautiful arc, flying precisely towards the rhino as if it was an that had eyes attached to them. Two horns flew in rapid succession, sealing the path in front of the rhino and causing it to halt in its step. The youth immediately sped over, and with indiscernible movements, he struck forth with a fist of immense might, accompanied by a dragon's roar.
"Boom." The youth's fist landed on the head of the rhino, releasing shockwaves that trembled the trees around it. The body of the rhino convulsed violently before slumping down to the ground, releasing its final death cry.
What a pressurizing strength! Iron-armored rhinos are known for their defence, but this one was killed in a single strike. If anyone were to witness this, they would certainly be shocked speechless.
The youth was non-other than Erian. "How perverse. My strength is even more tyrannical now that I've broken through to the 7th level of the Eternal Physique Optimization Art."
During the past fourty days of intense fights, practice and more boring practice, Erian had successfully stepped into the 7th level, which was also the last level; level Nine for the Rudimental Cell Rejuvenating Technique.
At this point in time, Erian's punch could create ripples in the air that sounded more like lightning and his strength had increased to the point where he could split apart boulders in a single punch.
Lifting a three-hundred-pound huge rock over his head with only one hand was simple as holding thousands of pounds over his head.
Besides all the noticeable improvements in his body, Erian was finally powerful enough to use Nine Hells Inferno Fist Technique
Currently, the clothes he wore were worn and tattered. He smiled when he looked at the dead rhino before him.
In one motion, all of its nuclear energy had been sucked dry from its body and then the body vanished.
"Vitality +0.5"
Eeuan frowned slightly. The result of the 'Ultimate Transmutation' is becoming even more and more random. One time, an entire level eight beast corpse resulted in him receiving just a tooth of the beast wasting 500 points of energy points.
The points used for the transmutation also seemed random at first, but Erian figured it out. The stronger the beast when it was alive, the more point it would require for the transmutation process.
Obviously, this wasn't his first time receiving attribute points, but it was mostly 0.2 to 0.3 increase in his attribute. This was the most he had gotten.
He lifted his shoulder and gave a half shrug. And then he turned into multiple blurs, fading into a stream of afterimages. After a while, he arrived at a cave. The stench was overwhelming since it had been the home of a level-eight Metal-scale Python before Erian killed it.
Seating cross legged within the cave, Erian then glanced at his status.
[Name: Erian Falstone]
[Level: Seven ]
[Nuclear Energy: 141,232/(520)]
[Strength: 17.3]
[Agility: 17.7]
[Vitality: 18]
[Nuclear Pulse Talent: Two star(Low-grade)<Upgradable>(10000)]
[Name: Eternal Physique Optimization Art(Legendary Tier, low-grade)]
[Items: Hundred-Thorn Metal-Silk Armoured Gloves]
A wild and happy grin appeared on his lips. After a whole month of accumulation, Erian was certain he could upgrade his nuclear pulse talent to 5-star and have more than enough to upgrade his gloves. It was now getting weaker and the effect wasn't as strong as it was before.
Breathing out softly, Erian proceeded immediately to give the command to the chip. "Upgrade talent to 3-star. " In that instant, vast amount of radioactive energy surrounded the entire cave like a cloud of steam. Moving as though they had sentient, they penetrate right into Erian's skin and body like a wave of hot air.
"Whoosh!"
Erian's body trembled slightly and in the next second, the nuclear energy was was been sucked into his very bones, skin and tissue before it came to an abrupt stop.
[Name: Erian Falstone]
[Level: Seven ]
[Nuclear Energy: 11,232/(600)]
[Strength: 17.3]
[Agility: 17.7]
[Vitality: 18]
[Nuclear Pulse Talent: Three star(Low-grade)<Upgradable>(200000)]
[Name: Eternal Physique Optimization Art(Legendary Tier, low-grade)]
[Items: Hundred-Thorn Metal-Silk Armoured Gloves]
Gazing at his system, Erian couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh. He had met the requirement to enter that university at last. But before he could celebrate, his excitement was dampened the moment he laid his eyes on his energy reserve.
'Only 11,000 points? How's that even possible!?'
His eyes turned red again in anger! Once again, he had been scammed by this chip of his! Wasn't the upgrade only ten thousand nuclear energy points? How come a total of a hundred and twenty energy points had been deducted?
It was as though the chip used 10 thousand energy points to get to 2-star mid-quality and then doubled the amount to get to high-quality and then absorbed times ten of the amount just to breakthrough to 3-star!
"10,000 + 20,000 + 100,000." Erian instantly froze. That was exactly what had actually happened. Just getting to three star low quality had consumed ten times the amount. Which means if he wanted to get to 4-star, won't he require at least a million energy points? Erian gasped in astonishment! How could he amass that much in this tiny village?
Moreover, if he kept on hunting, dismantling and absorbing like this, it would take almost a year for him to amass that amount of radioactive particles.
Additionally, he also needs nuclear energy for his breakthrough, to upgrade his gloves, to use Ultimate Transmutation and to practise the Eternal Physique Optimization Art.
Abruptly, his eye suddenly turn cold and he stared to the entrance of the cave.
