Chapter 340: Chapter 225: Perfecting the System, The Road to the Future_1

Finally, the specialization was complete!

And just as Jiang Chen had anticipated.

Based on ten specialized organs, [Module Specialization] did not end with sublimation to [Mythical Specialization], but went even further—

It endowed Jiang Chen with [Mythological Body] and [Adaptation Power]!

The former was akin to a synthesis of ten mythical forces, also revealing pathways for subsequent enhancement.

It was possible to absorb more Mythical Life Primordial Blood to strengthen the effects of the various specialized organs and increase growth values.

The latter was truly above and beyond legendary, a [Mythical Trait]!

“Mythical Trait: Adaptation Power does not simply stack values on top of the original mythical specialization…”

“The fourfold power boost typical of legendary traits hasn’t changed in the slightest.”

“Instead, a new mythical effect has been introduced…”

“[Consume stamina to remove the power cap of a module].”

“This is incredibly important!”

To tell the truth,

in Jiang Chen’s recent battles, his attack methods were either standard weapon attacks or Spatial Slash.

It wasn’t out of a preference for slicing enemies into pieces, but due to limitations of modules and abilities—

For comparison,

base attributes and life force are like a battery, while module abilities are like electrical appliances.

Even if the battery capacity is ample, to achieve full effects, one must adhere to the power rating of the appliances…

Otherwise, one simply discharges directly, attacking with raw current.

At present, Jiang Chen’s status was akin to building a large power plant, not only with an extremely high limit but also rapid power generation.

However, the appliances provided by Zero, Yun, and Yuu had too low a wattage to utilize all this power.

The only thing that could handle such a charge…

was the Void Splitting ability sourced from Vitaz.

Even—

As a result of Zero providing too many attributes over the past few days,

Vitaz’s proportion has diminished, the stacking of module strength was less, leading to Void Splitting starting to look somewhat insufficient against stronger enemies.

In the end, it became a brute-force attack against option A.

In such a situation, Jiang Chen’s continuous acquisition of traits to boost module power could only be seen as a temporary fix rather than a cure.

And this required consuming a vast amount of resources to cover this weakness.

It was both troublesome and uncomfortable.

Yet he couldn’t simply ignore it.

The premise of attribute supremacy is invincibility, and right now, Jiang Chen was only a Nova rank, far from invincible.

If he neglected abilities and purely piled on attributes, he could easily be toyed with by enemies of the same rank.

So—

The Mythical Trait [Adaptation Power] resolved this predicament in a blunt and straightforward manner!

Removing the power cap of modules was essentially like removing the “power rating” limit of all “appliances.”

Jiang Chen’s “power plant” could output as much energy as it could generate.

Turn it up to the max!

Even the 1st Rank module [Crystal of Divine Punishment], which was only absorbed once for testing purposes,

could now unleash the base power of an 8th Rank!

“The question is…”

“How exactly does Adaptation Power work?”

“Does it first calculate the bonuses of various traits based on module ability, then remove the cap to maximize power…”

“Or does it reach the base power related to attributes first, then calculate the trait bonuses?”

If it’s the former,

then abilities like the Crystal of Divine Punishment, even after accounting for Extreme Battle Spirit and Mythical Specialization’s panel bonuses, wouldn’t get much of a boost in base power.

It would effectively be non-functional.

If it’s the latter…

That would be incredibly amazing!

“Let’s just test it.”

Jiang Chen had just completed the trait sublimation and remained in the Endless Deathmatch Arena.

No amount of guessing is as intuitive as actual combat.

Thus, with a shift of his form, he appeared inside the arena.

The Legendary Overlords of the Endless Deathmatch Arena had long been waiting.

With meteorites plummeting, a Legendary Overlord with 9.9 billion Life Force eagerly entered the arena.

The challenge begins!

The Legendary Overlord activated its Extreme Battle Spirit, ready to strike,

but saw Jiang Chen instantly assume the form of Three Heads and Six Arms, appearing right before it—

This battle was for testing the effects of his abilities.

Jiang Chen did not engage in a slow struggle with this Asura, instead his countless tendrils shot out from behind, tightly binding it and restricting its movements.

Next…

The tendrils pulled back, dragging the creature before him, as all three heads’ third eyes simultaneously opened.

The six arms were raised high, with eyes also appearing in their palms, lighting up with a dark destructive glow.

Crystal of Divine Punishment – Jiang Specialization!

Fine yet devastating beams of energy immediately lit up.

They all landed on the Legendary Asura’s face, fiercely searing its flesh, skull, and life force!

The Legendary Asura’s form trembled but couldn’t break free from the tendrils.

In just an instant, under the terrifying power of these beams, its face and upper body completely disintegrated, killing it on the spot.

Jiang Chen’s tendrils also gradually loosened, letting its corpse fall to the ground.

[You have achieved victory in the challenge of Endless, current consecutive wins: 1.]

Instant kill!

If Jiang Chen were to unleash his full strength, instantly killing a lower-ranked Legendary Overlord with similar attributes would be too easy.

But the problem was, he used only “1st Rank ability: Crystal of Divine Punishment”!

Such a terrifying scene.

It also clarified for Jiang Chen the specific mechanics of [Adaptation Power]—

The Crystal of Divine Punishment, as an exceptional quality technology Weapons Module, has power linked with strength and energy limits.

Originally, this attribute relationship had only affected [the attribute numbers needed to achieve maximum power output].

But with Adaptation Power, after removing the power cap,

Jiang Chen’s base attributes entirely enhanced the Crystal of Divine Punishment, allowing it to unleash power equivalent to a peak 8th Rank, comparable to the 9th Rank!
