All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 151 The Three Categories of Top-Tier Talents
The higher the rank, the more you realize how much influence talent has on a player.

Like Zhou Wushang, if she doesn't team up with Chu Xiu and continues to fight dungeons alone, she'll have a hard time defeating Shen Tianxing and Ye Lingxian in the second-tier dungeons. Although she can use the power of the Heavenly Mark, unless she risks losing the mark, she can only eliminate one of them.

However, if she were to face Achiv, even with the power of the mark, he could wear her down from a distance.

It's not that it's completely unplayable, but it's extremely difficult to continue playing it.

"Outer-level talent? No wonder!" Zhou Wushang said with a look of sudden realization, "Although there's a saying on Blue Star that there are no useless talents, only people who don't know how to use them, the generally accepted standard is still 'god-level talent' as the pinnacle. Apart from certain special 'human-level' talents, other talents are hard to compete with!"

Then, she talked to Chu Xiu about the "talent upgrade".

It turns out that talent is not static.

Any talent can be improved through game mechanics, special treasures, self-cultivation, etc., but improvement is extremely difficult, so most people do not have any hope.

However, in terms of talent level, "God" is the ultimate goal.

Like Lü Shengnan's "clone," which can eventually be upgraded to "God of All Transformations," Shen Tianci's talent will likely end up as "God of Machinery." The names may be different, but the suffix "God" will definitely be there.

Even Zhou Wushang could be upgraded to become the "God of Pendants".

Having only one talent is not enough.

That's the "human-shaped tail".

One theory is that those with the "human" radical at the end of their name lack the potential to become gods, so they were initially defined as "humans" and could not be upgraded; they are considered to have the worst and least potential talent.

But there is another theory: that this talent was at its maximum level from the very beginning.

Moreover, it is insurmountable, surpassing even the highest level of a god.

There are many obviously inhuman counterexamples, such as Zhou Wudao, whose talent is "a person without morality"!
Therefore, the most widely accepted view is that the "人" (human) character ending is an extraordinary talent, not included in the talent level classification. Its lower limit can be as low as a roadside talent, while its upper limit can be as high as a god-level talent.

In fact, it seems that is the case.

“But there’s also a theory that the truly ultimate, god-like talent isn’t the suffix ‘god’ but rather ‘infinite heads,’ such as infinite clones or infinite resurrection.” Zhou Wushang added, “But it hasn’t appeared on Blue Star. My father explored the River of Time and never heard of anyone with that kind of talent anywhere else, so we generally don’t discuss it!”

At this point, she looked at Chu Xiu.

He added, "Regardless of whether it's a rumor or not, never mention your talent's real name to anyone else! Even if it's my dad, if he asks about your talent, just say you're a 'limit-breaker' or a 'limit-transcending' person, and don't mention the word 'infinite'!"

Chu Xiu nodded upon hearing this.

He understood that his talent was very special, and it was very likely that it was the so-called "infinite head" that surpassed the gods! Because breaking the limit could bring special effects, it wouldn't be difficult for him to acquire an ability comparable to Achiv's "God of Time and Space" talent in the future.

Can Achiev acquire other god-level talents?

Does not!
Immediately, realizing that he was not a native of Earth and was related to the ultimate dungeon, he felt that his talent might not be as simple as "infinity"—the combination of "infinity head" and "human tail" might have a more special meaning.

For example, the maximum player rank is 19, but he should be able to reach rank 20 or higher!

In addition, is there a talent called "God of Infinity"?
Are the three top-tier talents two of them that belong to two different categories, or are they simply incompatible, and Chu Xiu's talent itself doesn't belong to the player?

Or perhaps, "infinite head" is the superior counterpart of "god tail." Is it true that there are only "infinite people," but not "infinite gods"?
“By the way, our dad is a ‘person without principles.’ Could it be that among the ‘person’ talents, only ‘person without x’ is a truly top-tier talent?” Chu Xiu asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wushang showed a strange expression and shook his head.

"Not really!"

"Is there any counterexample?"

“Hmm!” Zhou Wushang said, “I know someone in the East District whose talent is ‘Rootless Man’. My dad used to keep an eye on him. But it turns out that he was just born without any life force. He ran ten dungeons and never made it into the top ten. Now he’s just a casual player.”

Chu Xiu: "..."

What an amazing talent!

……

Three months passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day before the "elimination round".

This team betting mode does not involve mandatory PvP. Theoretically, the first round of elimination can continue until the end of the game, until only one player remains, at which point the final ranking is determined.

But in reality, it doesn't work.

Starting from the second-tier dungeon, elimination becomes linked to the storyline, and the third-tier dungeon even uses natives as an elimination mechanism.

This is especially true for the fourth level.

Wushuang City and Tianxia Society were destined to be irreconcilable enemies—even though Wushuang City was not destroyed this time, and Dugu Ming did not cry and go to his uncle to avenge Wushuang City, the Sword Saint still came out of seclusion.

He challenged Xiong Ba.

The day of the final battle will be the day the first round of elimination begins!
This is the beginning of the elimination round, but what truly determines the outcome for both sides is whether Wushuang City can survive the "Storm" and end Xiong Ba. If they can't survive, they're finished; if they do, the Tianxia Society will cease to exist!
However, just the day before the elimination rounds began, when the Sword Saint was about to meet the Nameless One.

An unexpected system notification appeared: "A 'smuggled' player has chosen to forcibly bet on the third party 'Wu Shen Jue Gong'. The elimination round rules have now changed. In addition to eliminating the opponent as originally planned, as long as the 'third party' is eliminated, the first round will end directly, and everyone will receive a guaranteed minimum score reward!"

You can also view the detailed rules by opening the details page.

Basically, players who illegally cross the border can bet on factions other than Tianxiahui and Wushuangcheng.

After placing your bets, as long as everyone works together to defeat that faction, everyone will receive a guaranteed points reward, the same amount as those ranked fifth through tenth!
The original strategy of eliminating each other remains effective.

It's essentially an extra "reward".

However, it's not necessarily a reward, because "Global Enemy" can also be a third-party force that can simultaneously destroy both Wushuang City and Tianxia Hui, eliminating players from both sides!

The player's choice to bet on a third party was certainly for this purpose.

Otherwise, they wouldn't place a bet at all.

Because betting on a third party requires spending points, and a considerable amount of those points—the guaranteed reward players can receive is the cost of betting on a third party!
If they can't win, that player will lose a fortune!
"Is it Achiev, or someone else?" Chu Xiu wondered. "Where does he get the confidence to think that the mere 'Godless Palace' can destroy both the World Society and the Peerless City at the same time?"
