Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 732 Occupation and Soul [7.3k words]

A baptism that can improve their time aptitude, and even give their innate soul soldiers the ability to counter the effects of time and space? !
Almost at the moment when Xin Lailai saw the information of the item pop up in front of him, his gaze and breathing suddenly became hot.

So luxurious.

It can be said that except for the demon circuit and the angel circuit, any one of the other items in this career template is something they urgently need right now.

Something like 5 points of abyss resistance, there is no need to explain how important this thing is. When they were in the Dead Sea ruins, if it weren't for the 5 points of temporary abyss resistance buff given to them by the world will of the Earthly World, they probably wouldn't even have the chance to wake up from the Dead Sea ruins.

There are also the qualification levels of the Perception, Breath, and Time departments. The value of the last one naturally needs no further explanation. Although the B-level qualification level of the Time department does not sound high, you should know that the Time department qualification is an extremely rare thing even in the entire paradise.

Taking the time qualification level above S- as an example, up to now, he has only seen three people whose time qualification level has reached S- or above. Among them, only Bai Mo is of the same generation, and the other two are Dao Ji's master Bai Jue and their Divine Religion's Baihua boss.

You have to know that this is inside the paradise, and that's when all the contractors of the past twenty years are counted. If it's other systems like swordplay or fencing, the number of people who can reach S-level or above is not to say thousands or tens of thousands, but at least hundreds can be easily found. It can be said that B-level qualifications may be just ordinary in other systems, but in the time system, it is already a solid qualification.

As for the perception and breath systems, although reaching A-level qualifications in these two systems will not directly help them for the time being, if we consider that their soul masters are taking a comprehensive approach that takes into account perception, breath, and soul, these two qualifications suddenly become crucial.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just taking their current shortcomings as an example, just reaching the A-level in the perception system will definitely be of great help to the subsequent development of their intuitive abilities.

This can be seen from their performance after their magic and swordsmanship qualifications were upgraded to Grade A. Before their magic and swordsmanship qualifications were improved, the development of their abilities in these two areas was not only stagnant but also extremely difficult and obscure. Now, although it cannot be said that they have made rapid progress, at least they can gain something after each return. Their increasingly long list of self-created spells and techniques is the best proof of this.

This is the role of the improvement in qualification level. If the process of an event is divided into several different independent multiplication zones, when the multiplication zone with a lower upper limit of effort is maxed out, the independent multiplication zone of qualification will be the one that has the greatest impact on the result. With the same 10 points of effort that reaches the upper limit of the multiplication zone of effort, a person with a qualification of 100 points can easily obtain a result of 1000 points, while a person with a qualification of 10 points will only gain 100 points even if he works hard until his death. This is the difference brought by qualifications.

As for why I don’t work harder than others to make up for my lack of talent?

Well, it's just a dream. I'm not a deserter from One Piece. Do you expect those talented people to only exercise for less than three minutes a day? Or can you extend your day to tens of thousands of hours?

People with good talents work harder than normal people, while people without good talents choose a more comfortable life because they recognize the reality. This is the reality in paradise.

As for those guys who keep saying that they work ten or a hundred times harder than others and then naturally surpass everyone else, Xin Lailai can only express envy and curiosity.

You know, in order to get past those guys from the Death Keeper, they almost had to sleep once every three days, and this was just to ensure that they would not be left behind. He really wanted to know how those people managed to reach the top just by hard work, regardless of talent. He also wanted to learn.

"Speaking of which, Boss 83203, can we just use this directly?"

After browsing through all the content, Xin Lailai looked at the description of the annihilation energy, which had changed a lot compared to before. Suddenly, he thought of the situation when they had mastered the annihilation energy before. His eyelids twitched suddenly, and he asked 83203 with some uncertainty.

"Theoretically, yes."

"Well, what if something unexpected happens?"

"Two more deaths, that's all. I have prepared enough backups here, and the expenses will be reimbursed according to the rules of the academic sect. You don't need to worry about these extra things."

"..."

The cold words made Xin Lailai's face twitch slightly, but in the end he looked at the scroll in his hand, took a deep breath, and decisively activated and crushed it.

——Just die! Anyway, the expenses have been reimbursed! If it really explodes, just treat it as a free prostitution willpower!

boom--! !

As the scroll shattered, a huge amount of light golden energy burst out and poured into their bodies like a violent tsunami, causing Xin Lailai to groan violently. The blood vessels in his body suddenly collided and his body suddenly turned red as if he was in a furnace.

Ten minutes...twenty minutes...thirty minutes...

As time passed, waves of black and white light flashed in Xin Lailai's body, and chaotic space-time fluctuations erupted. Finally...

Om-! !

[Reminder: The Perception and Breathing Qualification Levels have been upgraded to A-level]

[Tip: Time system qualification level has been upgraded to B-level]

[Hint: Used successfully! Due to the effect of "??? Career Template·Level 4.0 (Version )", some of the Pioneer's current career skills have been changed! ]

It worked!
Four hours later, with a few cold prompt sounds, Xin Lailai, who was sitting on the experimental table, let out a long sigh, opened his eyes, and a hint of joy appeared in his pupils.

Originally, he thought that they would have to transform into "scumbags" several times before they could succeed, but he didn't expect that this time it would be the same as the last time they used the qualification baptism, and they succeeded in one go!

Then, Xin Lailai, who had completed the upgrade, could not wait to open the branding interface and looked at her career interface. Then, she was slightly stunned:
[Career Interface]

……

Name: Xinlailai/Zero (Elf Assimilation)

Profession:? ? ?
...

...

Occupational Skill 1, Energy Cycle (Passive, LV.MAX)

Professional Skill 2, Perfect Prototype (Passive, LV.MAX)

Professional skill 3, perfect nourishment (passive, LV.MAX)

Occupational Skill 4, Complete Filter (Passive, LV.MAX)

Occupational Skill 5, Elf Assimilation (Passive/Active, LV.EX)

Occupational Skill 6, Abyss Adaptation (Passive, non-upgradeable)

Occupational Skill 7, Demonic Circuit·Change (Passive/Active, LV.MAX): Can convert and store "Demon Power·Change". The current storage limit is 5000 points (ordinary intelligence attribute × 50 + real intelligence attribute × 100). For every 1 point of "Demon Power·Change" converted, 2 mana points + 0.01 life energy + 0.01 soul energy are consumed. Each 1 point of "Demon Power·Change" can cause 3 real life damage.

*Tip: "Real life damage" is "real damage" based on life characteristics, and is only effective against life energy structures. If it hits non-life energy structures such as souls or metal creations, the damage level caused will decrease.

*Tip: "Demon Power·Modified" shares the same upper limit as "Mana Value", and each 1 point of "Demon Power·Modified" will occupy 2 points of the mana upper limit (if it is condensed outside the body or additional mental power is consumed for control, it will not be affected by this upper limit).

Occupational Skill 8, Angel Circuit·Change (Passive/Active, LV.MAX): Can convert and store "Angel Power·Change". The current storage limit is 5000 points (ordinary intelligence attribute × 50 + real intelligence attribute × 100). For every 1 point of "Angel Power·Change" converted, 2 mana points + 0.01 life energy + 0.01 soul energy are consumed. Each 1 point of "Angel Power·Change" can cause 3 real soul damage.

*Tip: "Real Soul Damage" is "real damage" based on the characteristics of the soul, and is only effective against soul energy structures. If it hits non-soul energy structures such as flesh or metal, the damage level caused will be reduced.

*Tip: "Angel Power·Modified" shares the same upper limit as "Mana Value", and each 1 point of "Angel Power·Modified" will occupy 2 points of the mana upper limit (if it is condensed outside the body or additional mental power is consumed for control, it will not be affected by this upper limit).

Occupational Skill 9, Devouring Assimilation (Passive/Active, LV.MAX): Can only be activated in the "Elf Assimilation" state, and will enter the "Devouring Assimilation" state. During this period, Pioneer·Sinlailai/Zero's "Devil Circuit·Revised/Angel Circuit·Revised" will be combined with each other's "Angel Circuit·Revised/Devil Circuit·Revised" to form a "Devouring Circuit".

"Devouring Circuit" can store and convert "Devouring Energy", with a storage limit of 10000 points ("Demon Circuit·Modified" + "Angel Circuit·Modified"). For every 1 point of "Devouring Energy" converted, 4 mana points + 0.02 life energy + 0.02 soul energy are consumed. "Devouring Energy" can withstand a maximum sword power gain of 400% and a damage bonus of no more than 100%. Each 1 point of "Devouring Energy" can cause 5 points of "real devouring damage".

*Tip: "Real Devouring Damage" is "real damage" based on the devouring characteristics. Its specific damage effect is determined by the energy that triggers the devouring reaction. The current "devouring energy" is effective for life energy + soul energy structures. If it encounters non-life and soul energy structures such as metal or special energy (such as body protection energy, elemental energy, abyss energy...), its damage rank will decrease.

*Tip: "Devouring Energy" and "Mana" share the same upper limit, and each 1 point of "Devouring Energy" will occupy 4 points of the mana upper limit (if it is condensed outside the body or additional mental energy is consumed for control, it will not be affected by this upper limit).

Occupational Skill 10, Nirvana Assimilation (Passive/Active, LV.EX): Can only be activated in the "Elf Assimilation" or "Devouring Assimilation" state, and will enter the "Nirvana Assimilation" state. During this period, the "Devil Circuit·Revised/Angel Circuit·Revised" or "Devouring Circuit" will be converted into "Nirvana Circuit", which can convert and store "Nirvana Energy", with a maximum storage limit of 10000 points.

For every 1 point of "Nirvana Energy" converted, 4 mana points + 0.02 life energy + 0.02 soul energy (or 1 point of "Devil's Power·Modified + 1 point of Angel's Power·Modified; or 1 point of Devouring Energy) are consumed. After the conversion is complete, (the current amount of "Nirvana Energy" × 0.1) points of "Body Protection Energy" will be consumed per second to maintain it. The consumed "Body Protection Energy" will enter the "Cold" state. Each 1 point of "Nirvana Energy" can cause 10 points of "Real Damage" and cause "Matter Annihilation" and "Energy Annihilation" effects.

*Tip: If "Demon Power·Change/Angel Power·Change" or "Devouring Energy" exists in the circuit during conversion, it will be automatically converted into "Nirvana Energy" according to the corresponding conversion ratio (if "Demon Power·Change" or "Angel Power·Change" is asymmetric in quantity and position, additional mana will be consumed to replenish it to balance and then converted. This process will cause the time to enter "Nirvana Assimilation" to be slightly extended).

*Tip: "True Damage" is a pure characteristic "true damage" that is effective for all structures (if the target structure is not destroyed, it is just that the amount of damage caused is not enough to destroy the "total life" of the structure, not that the damage rank is insufficient).

*Tip: In the "Cold and Silence" state, the recovery speed of the body protection energy is reduced to 1/2~1/5 of the original, lasting for 24~120 hours. During this period, if it is again affected by an effect that is enough to make the body protection energy fall into "Cold and Silence" (such as the "Defensive Barrier" of "Protect for My Will"), the corresponding body protection energy will directly fall into the "Silent" state, lasting 7~30 days.

*Tip: The current "Nirvana Energy" can withstand a certain amount of sword power gain and damage bonus, but the "Nirvana Energy" after the gain is very likely to penetrate the "Body Protection Energy", causing the Body Protection Energy to directly enter the "Silent" state.

*Tip: "Nirvana Energy" and "Mana" share the same upper limit, and each 1 point of "Nirvana Energy" will occupy 4 points of the mana upper limit (if it is condensed outside the body or additional mental energy is consumed for control, it will not be affected by this upper limit).

Skill 11: Time-Breaking Sword (Passive, LV.MAX) Skill 12: Sky-Breaking Shield (Passive, LV.MAX)

……

Good...very detailed.

On the experimental table, Xin Lailai looked at the extremely detailed professional skills introduction in front of her, which was like a thesis, and swallowed slightly.

Should we say that it is worthy of being produced by 83203? Compared with the self-created skills they have come up with, the information in front of us can be said to be short of directly writing down the specific process of the formation of these abilities.

Especially for the Demonic Power, Devouring Assimilation and Nirvana Assimilation, the real damage categories that Paradise has never given detailed distinctions for are carefully noted. Even if you click on the words "real damage", you can directly jump to a link to information related to the detailed information of the real damage. It is truly detailed to the point of being awe-inspiring.

Of course, more importantly...

——It’s fucking amazing!!!
Although compared with before, their professional skills have not changed much in the overall system, and are still centered on elf assimilation, annihilation and annihilation, but in various details, the current professional template is like a shotgun to a cannon compared to the one they used in the past, whether in terms of stability, upper and lower limits, or overall strength, it is a big improvement over before.

Let's take the "Devouring Circuit" as an example. This thing is equivalent to giving them an extremely stable and high-intensity professional energy. At least compared with the previous version that could only be used to create missiles, this version of the devouring energy is much stronger in terms of energy intensity and stability.

This also includes the "Nirvana Energy". Although it will still cause a great burden on their body protection energy, it will no longer let their body protection energy fall into a "dormant" state. In this way, they don't need to be so restrained in the use of the "Nirvana Energy" in many cases.

After all, although the original "Nirvana Assimilation" was powerful, it could easily cause several thousand points of body-protecting energy to fall into a "dormant" state for as short as seven days or as long as ten days or half a month, so he didn't dare to use this thing casually.

And if it is changed to the "Cold and Silence" state that only reduces the recovery speed of the body's protective energy, it would be fine if it is reduced to 0.8% like the "Defensive Barrier", but if it is only reduced to 1/2~1/5 of the original, there are too many ways in the park to speed up its recovery. As long as you are well prepared, it is not difficult to compress the "Cold and Silence" state that originally lasted for 5 days to less than 5 hours.

Moreover, the most important point is that now the "Devouring Energy" and "Nirvana Energy" can finally be integrated into his skills and moves!!!

The previous "Devouring Energy" and "Nirvana Energy", although strong enough, could basically only be used to rub missiles due to a series of problems such as stability and conversion speed. Once they were forcibly integrated into their techniques and moves, the barrel would explode at best, and at worst, serious damage would be caused to Yuan Mo, making it impossible to use them normally.

And now, after being optimized by 83203, the current "devouring energy" can completely replace the previous demonic power, allowing his various sword moves to be completely updated.

Although the "Energy of Nirvana" still has certain limitations, as long as the amplitude is controlled well, it can be released with sword moves without hurting Yuan Mo. This alone is a huge improvement for them. After all, the original "Energy of Nirvana" that must be blasted out with bare hands has too many limitations in many cases. In fact, because it must be released with bare hands, the pre-swing is particularly easy to capture, and if you are not careful, it may become a flaw that can be exploited by the enemy, especially when you can't kill the opponent instantly.

As for the others, there's actually nothing much to say about the two abilities, "Sword of Time" and "Shield of Sky". They are simple and crude counter-attack skills, and their main point is that destruction is always easier than creation.

Although they cannot control all kinds of sophisticated and complex time and space abilities, as long as they can destroy the phenomena caused by these abilities, even the most sophisticated time and space abilities will be useless.

and……

"Boss 83203, these last two space-time abilities, could it be that..."

After staring at his career panel for a while, Xin Lailai seemed to have noticed something, looked at 83203, and suddenly spoke. Before he could finish, the other party gave a direct answer:
"Well, it's to prepare for connecting with your second talent."

"Your second talent is to use your own sword power and body protection energy to pry time and space. This is a very good shortcut to the time and space system for you. If you continue to go deeper along this route, you may be able to use this shortcut to develop your own time and space spells, which in turn will be related to your third talent that will awaken in the future."

83203 replied calmly, and Xin Lailai's eyes showed a hint of understanding when he heard it. Then, 83203 continued to ring in their ears:

"Since you have succeeded, take out the source of spiritual transformation. I will be here to help you complete the transformation of soul pressure."

"Yes! I will listen to you, Boss 83203!"

After hearing the cold words, Xin Lailai was startled for a moment, then he immediately reacted and nodded quickly, took out the "Origin of Spiritual Transformation" and handed it to 83203.

He was so focused on the career template that he almost forgot that they still had two major tasks to complete this time: soul talent transformation and soul pressure.

"Hmm... the quality is okay. It seems that the park has done a good job in training you."

83203 glanced down at the source of spiritual transformation handed over by Xin Lailai, nodded slightly, commented calmly, then looked up at Xin Lailai, threw a scroll to him, and said:

"Sit on the formation over there and use this. It can temporarily separate the monarch's breath and breath control from your soul origin. After I use the spiritual transformation origin to activate your soul origin, you can reconstruct them and engrave them into your soul master according to your own understanding. Don't tell me you haven't done any homework in this regard."

"Understood! Don't worry, Boss 83203! We have already deduced the model and principle of soul pressure!"

83203 said calmly, and Xin Lailai nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, answering actively, looking at the scroll in his hand with a burning look in his eyes.

Just as he said, as early as when they were on Dark Glow Star, they had actually already guessed and deduced the expected soul pressure. After receiving the reply from 83203, they took advantage of the few days of researching the new version of demon power and angel power to prepare this thing to the final stage in one go.

After all, Breath Control and Breath of the Monarch are essentially simple abilities that can be upgraded by relying on Paradise Points and external breath pressure. To put it simply, the principle is to set up an external structure on the surface of their soul origin, which adds a switch for free retraction and conversion of the breath generated by themselves into kingly power.

With their current level of knowledge, it is extremely easy to analyze it and then reversely deduce it into the soul coercion ability they need. The only difficulty is how to make it become an additional ability of their soul master.

According to their original plan, they wanted to find a devouring scroll to permanently remove the two abilities of Breath Control and Breath of the Sovereign, and then fill them in with the soul coercion ability they deduced.

But in that case, the aura strength they had previously increased with these two abilities would be completely wasted, and if they wanted to truly transform soul pressure into their additional ability, they would have to wait until the Soul Master broke through to LV.30.

Now with the help of 83203, not only can they advance the steps that should have been completed at the fourth level to now, they can even use local materials and directly use the two abilities of Breath Control and Sovereign's Breath to complete their soul pressure, thereby retaining the breath strength improvement brought by these two abilities to the greatest extent.

[Tip: The "Temporary Stripping Scroll (Specified)" has been used, and the Pioneer's current skills "Breath Control" and "Breath of the Monarch" will be stripped! ]

A cold prompt sounded, and Xin Lailai was seen sitting cross-legged on a magic circle engraved in the laboratory according to the instructions of 83203. After using the scroll in his hand, he closed his eyes and meditated.

[The stripping begins...]

Om-! !

A large amount of light golden energy poured into their bodies, and the next second, a severe pain so strong that it seemed to tear the entire soul apart alive broke out. In their perception, skill circuits representing two different abilities gradually emerged from the surface of their souls, as if they were pulled out from the origin of their souls by something.

83203, who was standing aside, looked at this scene and nodded slightly. His dark eyes, without any emotion, reflected the two people's souls in a state of integration and the gradually emerging technique on the surface of their souls. After he completely separated from Xin Lailai's soul -

boom--! !

Suddenly, the formation surrounding Xin Lailai burst out with an extremely dazzling dark blue light, and a huge amount of strange energy rushed into his soul, causing him to groan suddenly. His soul breath suddenly became a little weak, as if he had suddenly suffered a serious blow. Seeing this, 83203 snapped his fingers, and the source of spiritual transformation floating in front of him suddenly turned into a stream of light and sank into the depths of Xin Lailai's soul.

[Tip: Due to the effect of "Soul Disturbance", the Pioneer's current "Soul Origin" has been impacted! ]

[Hint: The "Origin of Spiritual Transformation" has been used! ]

[Tip: "Breath of the Monarch" and "Breath Control" have been temporarily removed from the Pioneer skill list! ]

"Lingyuzi!" "Hmm!"

In an instant, a large number of cold reminder sounds exploded in Xin Lailai's mind, and Xin Lailai suddenly pulled out his mental power, and worked with Ling Yuzi to fix the spells representing "breath control" and "monarch's breath" with his own soul, and quickly disassembled and reassembled it according to the knowledge in his mind and the blueprint he had built long ago, and finally...

Boom——! !

The soul energy of the two people surged, swallowing up the reconstructed new technique and ability circuit. Then a huge roar exploded in the mind, and it felt like his consciousness had left the body in a trance, falling into a bizarre space that was a bit like the subspace, but much more difficult to describe than the subspace.

A large amount of information began to pour into their minds. In the darkness, it seemed as if some sound was getting closer and louder, like the rumbling of thunder approaching from the horizon, rapidly expanding in their minds, and finally -

Boom——! !

"How dare you! How dare you, a mere ant, steal... huh? Wait, who are you...!!"

A thunderous roar of anger exploded in their heads, causing Xin Lailai's sense of crisis to rise to the limit in an instant. But before he could react, the voice suddenly stopped as if frightened by something, and then suddenly softened:

"Ah, sorry, my two friends, we disturbed you. Since you have no intention of becoming kings, let's just let this cause and effect go. These powers of the kings will be given to you."

The voice with a sudden 180-degree change in tone coughed violently, and spoke as if it had become a different person. Then it quickly disappeared from the two people's minds, leaving only Xin Lailai and Ling Yuzi who were a little confused, unable to react to what had happened.
