Chapter 299 - 159: A Surge in Strength, The Strongest Gang Condensation Realm in History
[P2 Skills: Frenzy (LV. 11), Instant Body (LV. 7), Combat Bloodline (LV. 5), Horizontal Slash (LV. 7)]
[Temporary Skills: Crystalization, Shadow Scale, Silk Puppet]
Lin Ye looked at the numbers on the panel, his breath catching for a moment.
He even thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.
He had originally assumed the system would re-calibrate his attributes based on the qualitative change in his energy. At most, he expected them to increase to about 1.5 times what they were at his peak in the Vein Opening Realm.
But the result before him completely exceeded his imagination!
Almost all of his attributes had suddenly skyrocketed!
His three main attributes—Strength, Agility, and Endurance—had more than tripled compared to when he was at the perfected Vein Opening Realm!
His maximum Life Value had even broken straight through to six digits!
What surprised Lin Ye even more were two other changes.
First, the surge in his Spirit and Stamina far outstripped the surge in his attributes.
Lin Ye guessed that this was the panel’s most direct feedback on a Martial Artist’s traits after entering the Gang Condensation Realm—their energy becomes long-lasting and inexhaustible, allowing them to grow stronger the longer they fight.
And the other was his evolution level.
If he remembered correctly, after his racial template advanced to Beastman Warrior, his evolution level had been 1.2.
Now, it had become 1.41.
’It seems that a qualitative change in the energy a Martial Artist can control is equivalent to a leap in life-form level.’
’So naturally, in the system’s assessment, his evolution level points would increase accordingly.’
After confirming his strength had indeed undergone a monumental surge, an intense impulse welled up within Lin Ye.
He was desperate to test his new skills.
To test just how much stronger he had become!
First up... speed!
Lin Ye’s gaze fell upon a lone, twisted, dead tree a hundred meters outside the stone cave.
The next moment, with a single thought, he unreservedly poured the newly-born Primordial Gang Sha in his body into the meridians of his legs!
BOOM—!
A dull, tremendous roar exploded within the narrow stone cave!
The spot where Lin Ye had been standing instantly collapsed, forming a terrifying crater from which a dense web of cracks spread wildly in all directions!
Meanwhile, he himself had transformed into an afterimage almost impossible to track with the naked eye, tearing through the air with a piercing whistle!
BANG!
Lin Ye couldn’t react in time at all, smashing headfirst into the dead tree a hundred meters away!
The thick dead tree, which would have taken two people to encircle with their arms, didn’t even last an instant before it exploded from the violent impact, turning into a cloud of splinters!
Lin Ye shook his completely unharmed head. Although he wasn’t injured, the shock in his heart was boundless.
’Too fast!’
He was currently only using Primordial Gang Sha to boost his explosive power, yet his speed was already approaching the limit he’d reached in his P2 state with the dual buffs of [Frenzy] and [Instant Body] active!
In other words... the speed of sound!
’And that was just a simple burst!’
’What if I stacked the [Instant Body] skill on top of this?’
Lin Ye didn’t dare to imagine it!
However, at the same time, Lin Ye also discovered that his control over his current body was like that of a newborn baby.
A true expert would never allow such a situation of "using too much force" to occur in the application of their own strength.
He needed to spend some time getting familiar and adapting.
This also indirectly revealed the hidden danger of his method of getting stronger. Others accumulated power gradually over time, like water dripping through stone.
After they broke through a realm, their control over their new strength would come naturally.
But for Lin Ye, almost every power-up was a monumental leap, placing him on a completely different level than before.
He got his bearings and quickly located the mountain cave where he had previously discovered the Source Crystal Vein.
The Source Crystals the three puppets had brought back were actually less than a third of the entire vein in that cave.
Lin Ye now had two goals.
First, continue to find and devour Source Crystals.
He wanted to see what would happen when the temporary skill [Silk Puppet] was enhanced to its maximum limit.
His second goal was to test his strength through actual combat, and at the same time, gradually master all of his current power.
After making his decision, Lin Ye’s figure sank slightly as he sped towards the mountain cave.
On the wasteland where volcanic ash drifted, a jet-black, arrow-like figure appeared.
BOOM!
A piercing sonic boom erupted, kicking up a circular white shockwave behind him. The obsidian fragments on the ground were swept up by the fierce wind, forming a long dragon of dust and smoke.
Just a few seconds later, Lin Ye had crossed a distance of over a thousand meters.
But he was extremely dissatisfied with the commotion he was making.
First was the sonic boom caused by breaking the sound barrier.
Lin Ye hadn’t forgotten the Divine Realm expert who had been next to Li Kai Nian during the Dongjiang mock exam.
That expert could also cross a hundred meters in an instant, a speed that definitely surpassed the speed of sound.
Yet that person was able to do it without making the slightest sound.
As natural as a shadow teleporting.
’There must be some technique to eliminate the sound of a sonic boom.’
’Otherwise, moving faster than the speed of sound, leaving a trail of booms and explosions, would be extremely inconvenient for stealth and infiltration.’
Half a minute later, the distant silhouette of the mountain cave was already in sight.
At the same time, Lin Ye also saw two squads composed of different Celestial Abyss Races in front of the cave.
One squad had about six or seven members, while the other had only four.
The larger of the two squads was one Lin Ye was very familiar with—the Stone Ghost Race.
But as for the other team of four, it was the first time Lin Ye had ever seen them.
