641, Length, Width, Thickness, Hardness, Thickness, Toughness, and Temperature [Second Update]_1

Select a life form?

Chen Xin thought about it and then released his Martial Soul.

Lin Yi: "Want to test with your Martial Soul? First, align your panel to your Martial Soul."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin did as instructed, holding the Seven Kills Sword horizontally in his hands, and then used the blue fluorescent panel to face the Seven Kills Sword.

Surprisingly, some numbers immediately appeared on the panel.

[Seven Kills Sword]

[Hardness: 4256 (-) —— (+)]

[Length: 174 (-) —— (+)]

[Width: 12 (-) —— (+)]

[Blade Thickness: 0.06 (-) —— (+)]

[Temperature: 10 (-) —— (+)]

[Toughness: 384 (-) —— (+)]

Chen Xin was amazed, the reward was actually like this!

Basic attribute values, so it is talking about the sword's length, width, thickness, hardness, toughness, and temperature, right?

And after the values, there are just plus and minus signs, which, as Lin Yi described, can be freely increased or decreased.

Almost without Lin Yi's further explanation, Chen Xin had already understood the meaning of this reward.

He hurriedly asked, "Senior Lin Yi, can these values be increased or decreased indefinitely?"

Chen Xin was somewhat excited; if that was the case, wouldn't that be incredibly strong!

Lin Yi: "No, there are upper and lower limits. What these limits are, specifically, depends on your reward level, that is, the Red Advanced level. You may only be able to add one or two before reaching the limit, or it could take hundreds of thousands, even millions, to reach it."

After hearing this, Chen Xin nodded his head.

He started to aggressively increase the hardness, relentlessly tapping the plus sign as if he was going to poke right through the panel.

Suddenly, Chen Xin stopped his action, the hardness could only be increased to 10,054, then the plus button turned grey.

Chen Xin knew this was the upper limit set by the reward level, and not the actual limit of his Martial Soul, the Seven Kills Sword.

As for length and width, there was no need for change. Altering those would not be practical; it could lead to discomfort. In the line for thickness, Chen Xin fiercely pressed the minus sign, and he found that the thickness was only reduced by 0.001 each time. His finger was almost smoking from the rapid tapping until he finally reduced it to the minimum thickness.

In the end, the thickness was 0.009.

Chen Xin flipped the Seven Kills Sword over to look, his eyes nearly crossed, the blade was incredibly thin!

Toughness was the same; mindlessly adding was the way to go. In the end, toughness could only be increased to 500, which surprised Chen Xin since a lower toughness meant the Martial Soul could break more easily.

As for the temperature, Chen Xin was a bit puzzled.

Should the temperature be increased to the highest or lowered to the minimum?

Extreme temperatures were definitely capable of causing damage.

After some thought, Chen Xin decided to increase the temperature. He kept pressing the plus sign, increasing the temperature from 15 degrees to 1645 degrees!

This made him overjoyed; the upper limit for temperature was so high!

The Seven Kills Sword had become unbearably hot, even distorting the air around it as if it were being scorched, but such a temperature did not affect him at all, as this was his own Martial Soul.

At this very moment, Chen Xin's smile stretched to his ears.

Lin Yi: "In addition to the Martial Soul, you can freely increase or decrease the basic attribute values of any non-living things around you, but it's uncertain which basic attributes will be listed. There might only be one, or there could be a dozen. Of course, the higher the reward level—or the higher the value of the non-living thing—the more options for increasing or decreasing basic attributes will be displayed."

After listening, Chen Xin fell into silent contemplation.

He picked up a stone... It must be said that whenever such a reward appeared, ordinary rocks were always the subjects of experimentation.

On the panel, there were only two basic attributes listed for the stone.

[Stone]

[Hardness: 687（-）——（+）]

[Volume: 0.005（-）——（+）]

Chen Xin stepped down from the platform and placed the stone on the ground. Then he said to everyone else, "Please step back."

He aimed the panel at the stone like a camera and then pressed the plus sign next to the volume fiercely.

The stone placed on the ground began to rapidly increase in volume, but the magnitude of the growth was not as simple as doubling or tripling. Soon even the onlooking crowd couldn't help but tilt their heads back and take step after step backwards as a massive shadow quickly enveloped the scene.

The once small stone had now become a mountain!

However, Lin Yi couldn't help but remind him at this moment, "You don't necessarily have to click the plus and minus signs on the panel; you can directly drag the middle progress bar as well. Drag it to the maximum, or to the minimum, and it'll be much faster."

After hearing this, Chen Xin narrowed his eyes and realized that the middle progress bar could actually be dragged. He almost wanted to punch himself to death; he had been wondering why it was so inefficient when continuously clicking. What should have been a really good reward was almost ruined by this clumsiness.

I must be blind... Chen Xin thought to himself.

He continued to aim at the stone, dragging the volume section toward the minus sign, returning it to its original appearance much more quickly, almost instantaneously.

After some thought, Chen Xin then dragged the hardness section aggressively toward the minus sign, directly dragging it down to 0!

What would a stone with a hardness of 0 look like?

Chen Xin looked down only to see the stone starting to melt and turn into a same-colored liquid pouring onto the ground.

Hardness at 0 meant that it actually turned into a liquid state; however, weight and volume probably hadn't changed. Otherwise, in Chen Xin's view, it would have turned into foam.

"Senior, I have finished experimenting. This reward should bring great enhancement to my Martial Soul."

Lin Yi: "Yeah, but I advise you to spend more time studying Li Bai's Poetry Collection when you have time. The power of transforming sword aura through poetry is the most direct, effective, and truly stunning."

"It's a bit difficult to get that Domain going... But I will do my best!"

Lin Yi: "Believe me, understanding it while drinking a bit of wine will double the effect."

"Yes!"

Chen Xin bowed to show his gratitude.

He was going to launch his second attack of the day.

At this moment, his Martial Soul, the Seven Kills Sword, had already transformed from what it once was.

Hardness max, sharpness max, toughness max, high temperature max; with all these buffs added together, Chen Xin dared not imagine how much the damage would increase by.

For today's second attack, Chen Xin planned to use his first soul skill. Under the Darkened State, using the first soul skill might even surpass the damage of the last attempt.

He summoned the Seven Kills Sword again, and the snow-white blade turned instantly black as ink. His black hair replaced the white, and his robe was covered in enchantments.

The pitch-black Seven Kills Sword, in its scorching state, seemed like a piece of hard charcoal, with strands of white smoke lingering around it. The smoke would disperse again with Chen Xin's shaking of his sword, causing the surrounding air to waver, blurring due to the high temperature.

Chen Xin raised the sword blade, his fierce and scorching aura lifting his own temperament to another level.

"First soul skill, Sword's Edge Emerges!"

His first soul ring rose up, and at the same time, the pitch-black Seven Kills Sword actually ignited black flames!
