Facing the damage rebound this time, Gu Rong used the same method as before. His skills were highly flexible, allowing him to utilize the volume of air to increase the upper limit of each skill.
Air Compression turned into Air Rampage, the volume of the Air Shield grew, its thickness increased, and the impact force instantly multiplied several times.
Together with the enhancements from his Martial Soul True Body, dealing with Damage Rebound was no problem at all.
The attack officially ended, and like components of his body reassembling from all directions, Gu Rong's figure reappeared on the platform. He looked quite pleased with himself, thoroughly enjoying the various benefits his Martial Soul brought him.
Lin Yi looked at the panel.
[Blood Loss: 436753]
[Remaining Blood: 899867776437]
[Damage Level: Intermediate Red (Downgraded)]
[Random Reward: Martial Spirit Panel Customization Opportunity*1]
[Host Reward: Martial Spirit Panel Customization Opportunity*3]
Lin Yi's eyes lit up, customizing Martial Soul?
This was definitely a good thing; customizing the values of a Martial Soul to increase damage was certainly achievable.
And what everyone needed the most right now was to enhance the damage of their skills. Although many area control skills had recently surfaced, their current impact was not that significant.
Unless so many factions present... would really come to blows at some point in the future, then the role of area control skills would be significant.
Lin Yi stared at the annotations; his expression did not change much, as the content of the annotations was pretty much what he had expected. Apart from a few unexpected options that had appeared, it was like the breeding desire that had suddenly popped up in the panel attributes.
"Damage 436753, downgraded to Intermediate Red as per the rules, your reward is one Martial Soul Panel Customization Opportunity. I will project the panel content in front of you, which should be easier to understand than my verbal explanation,"
Having said that, Lin Yi flicked a red orb of light in front of him.
A blue luminescence flashed before Gu Rong, and a semi-transparent panel appeared above it.
It had many options, each followed by a slider. Below each slider were the current values displayed, with each option's slider maxing out at 100 and bottoming at 0.
The customization panel, pretty much like the settings in most games.
The customization panel that appeared before Gu Rong was for his Iron Fire Dragon Martial Spirit.
As Gu Rong was staring blankly at the panel, Lin Yi said, "You can choose for yourself which Martial Soul's panel values to customize."
Gu Rong suddenly felt a heavy cognitive load and was the first to ask, "Wait a moment, Senior! Does customization mean... I can set those values myself behind the sliders?"
"Yes."
Gu Rong nodded and stroked his chin in thought.
Just looking at the Iron Fire Dragon Martial Soul's panel, it seemed that many options could be considerably improved, but he wondered if there was still room for enhancement for his Air Martial Soul.
The Air Martial Soul was definitely much stronger than his Iron Fire Dragon Martial Soul, so he should use this opportunity on the Air Martial Soul.
After some thought, he said, "Senior, can I take a look at the panel of the other Martial Soul?"
Lin Yi: "You only have one chance to switch panels. Switching to another Martial Soul's panel now means you decide to use this opportunity on the other Martial Soul."
"Ah?! Can't I compare them before deciding?"
Gu Rong widened his eyes.
Lin Yi curled his lips: "If you had two chances to switch panels, of course you could compare. But you can only switch once."
"Then I still choose the Air Martial Soul!"
Gu Rong made up his mind with conviction; he had absolute faith in his New Martial Soul.
After all, before this, he couldn't imagine raising his damage to four hundred thousand by himself, but the Air Martial Soul had made it possible.
Lin Yi nodded, swept his palm over the light, and the panel switched.
To Gu Rong's surprise, the options that appeared were slightly different from those of the Iron Fire Dragon Martial Soul.
Take for example the first option on the panel.
[Martial Spirit True Body Transparency]
The slider value currently displayed is 10.
Gu Rong asked curiously, "Is it completely transparent at 0, or at 100?"
Lin Yi said, "0. The lower the transparency value, the more transparent it is. Actually, to the naked eye of ordinary people, your Martial Spirit True Body is completely transparent, but most of the powerhouses present can see the flow of air currents, it's just not that obvious."
Hearing this, Gu Rong turned back to look at Gu Yuena, who had maintained the highest Damage Level record for a long time and was recognized as the strongest present. He asked, "When I release my Martial Spirit True Body, can Dragon Lady Senior see me?"
Gu Yuena thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, it will be slightly whiter than air, like smoke, but it's not obvious."
Gu Rong quickly slid the slider value to 0, choosing the most transparent!
For an Air Martial Soul True Body, the more transparent the better. How else would one hide their presence if they could be seen?
[Martial Spirit Real Body Carbon Dioxide Content]
[Martial Spirit Real Body Nitrogen Content]
[Martial Spirit Real Body Oxygen Content]
[Martial Spirit Real Body Rare Gas Content]
[Martial Spirit Real Body Other Gas Content]
Gu Rong looked down and saw these five options that left him baffled.
What are these... what gas?
Gu Rong had no clue about this Blue Planet knowledge.
Could these be the components of a Martial Soul True Body? Gu Rong noticed that the values of these five options added up to exactly one hundred.
"Senior, what should I select for these so that my damage value is maximized?"
Lin Yi said, "You only have one reminder opportunity, and it has already been used with the transparency option."
Gu Rong: "..."
All right, I'll just take a guess.
Rare gases sound pretty... rare, so let's put more of that. The original value wasn't even 1, so how about I increase it to 60?
The other four gases sound completely indiscernible to judge. Gu Rong noticed that nitrogen was the most abundant, with an original value of 78...
Never mind, besides the rare gases, let's change the data of the others to 10 each.
Looking further down.
[Martial Spirit Temperature]
The current value is 22. 22 degrees?
The definition of temperature in Soul Land is the same as on Blue Planet, so Gu Rong is not so unfamiliar with this option.
22 degrees should be a normal temperature. Although raising it to 100 would indeed increase damage, it would severely compromise his concealment efforts... after all, a scorching ball of air, no matter how transparent, can still be sensed by the powerful.
Gu Rong chose to leave this option unchanged.
[Martial Spirit Humidity]
The current value is 50, and Gu Rong still opted not to change it, for the same reasons as above.
He frowned suddenly, wondering why there wasn't an option that directly increased damage.
After scanning the panel, Gu Rong couldn't find a slider that directly indicated the degree of damage.
At that moment, he spotted an option that seemed quite important to him.
[Martial Spirit Control Range]
