My talent panel can be increased

Fundamentally, [Divine Power] is not weak, but the techniques he uses are too weak to unleash the same power as [Abyssal Power].

Unless there is a significant elemental advantage, it is generally better to use normal attacks when attacking enemies. At most, it can be used for healing or other functional purposes.

"Monster! This guy is a monster!"

The mage in the distance cursed aloud.

He had never seen a level 4 psionicist who could so casually devour the skills of a level 10 hero mage like the God Lord. This phenomenon was enough to shatter his worldview; it was something completely beyond his comprehension.

The fact that they're only now uttering their curses is already proof of their excellent personal character.

The fierce battle continues!

Nearly twenty psionicists simultaneously besieged the Divine Lord. They used their strength, skills, knowledge, and the abilities of various powerful equipment to fight him off, trying to wear down his health as steadily as possible, in an attempt to eliminate this terrifying monster in the Heavenly Gate Trial.

Reassuringly, their battle was meaningful. Although Ye Mingqiu was powerful, his resistance was also terrifying. He even killed three level 10 hero psionicists who were besieging him.

but!

His health was still whittled down!

Countless mages and archers, through meticulously planned opportunities, tried their best to interrupt his spellcasting, preventing him from using [Holy Healing] to restore his life. They did their utmost to achieve this.

0%

45%

Ye Mingqiu's health was whittled down to almost nothing, while the number of psionicists attacking him increased from nearly 20 at the beginning to more than 40.

However, despite the increase in numbers, their attack frequency did not increase significantly.

These psionicists knew that once the God-King fell, what would follow was a civil war among them. To preserve their strength as much as possible before the battle began, allowing more powerful skills to return to cooldown, was the fundamental reason they reduced their attack frequency.

"boom!!"

Ye Mingqiu violently swung his spear again, sweeping away all the psionicists around him. He looked at these people, his killing intent and hostility were crystal clear, and he counted their numbers one by one.

As others saw him facing a desperate situation, a wanton smile gradually appeared on his face. A terrifying aura of bloodlust and killing intent surged forth like a tangible storm, and a terrifying momentum swept in all directions.

He casually pulled the arrow from his arm; the arrowhead emitted a ghostly purple light, proof of its deadly poison. But the poison had no effect on Ye Mingqiu. He licked his lips, his chest heaving rapidly, and said, "Enough! Enough numbers! We're caught! Haha, hahahaha!"

The sudden burst of maniacal laughter startled the surrounding psionicists. They didn't know if the God-King was bluffing or if he had truly allied with outsiders.

They were vigilant, but dared not stop attacking, because if they stopped, the God's health bar would be fully restored in no time.

Faced with this man who has extremely high health, rapid life regeneration, self-healing ability, high attack and defense speed, and also possesses demonic magic that can devour spells, they must keep attacking.

Otherwise, all our previous efforts will be in vain!

Just as they hesitated, a giant net of azure light fell from the sky, and several giant pillars rose from the ground, forming a huge cage. All the psionicists inside the cage were marked with azure marks for ten minutes.

Just as these Level 10 psionicists were feeling terrified, something even more despairing happened.

[Tyrant Form]

Ye Mingqiu, who had been crippled, suddenly grew in size again in a short period of time. The war tyrant who had dominated the battlefield once again revealed his true form. He laughed, and his laughter was deafening.

Even more terrifying is that his laughter also contains a skill that can intimidate the mind.

War Roar

Many psionicists with low mental strength were directly and rigidly controlled in place, forced to use control-breaking skills/items to recover. However, more importantly than this, their all attributes were reduced by 3% to 5%, resulting in a significant decrease in their overall strength.

Immediately afterwards, the skill [King's Majesty], originating from the Beast King's Crown, was unleashed.

[Notice: Attribute determination failed; all your attributes have been reduced by 15%]

In his Tyrant form, Ye Mingqiu boasts a Strength attribute of 255 and a Constitution attribute of 315, comparable to the normal attributes of a level 10 Overlord. Moreover, his Agility and Spirit attributes are also quite high. With such high four-dimensional attributes, no one can withstand the overwhelming attribute judgment of [King's Majesty].

Numbers!

It possesses a numerical beauty!

"Run!"

Suddenly, a magic-based psionicist cried out in despair, sprinting frantically. He even unleashed a burst of fireballs behind him, attempting to use the surging wind to make himself run faster.

Other psionicists also rioted and fled in various ways.

But can they succeed?

[Surge of Killing Intent]

Ye Mingqiu switched to the title of [God of Slaughter], instantly unleashing a terrifying killing intent. The blood-red energy fluctuations enveloped all the psionicists in an instant, and the powerful force originating from the will to slaughter instantly devoured all the psionicists.

Some psionicists were not good at mental attributes to begin with, and because of Ye Mingqiu's [War Roar] and [King's Majesty], 10% to 20% of their mental attributes were directly deducted. When faced with the [Killing Intent Wave] released under the mental crushing state, they instantly suffered terrifying damage.

Even more terrifying is that the Killing Intent Wave is a passively accumulated skill!

Killing Will: Killing Will accumulates for each unit killed. The stronger the Killing Will, the stronger the mental deterrent effect.

The number of units Ye Mingqiu killed

There were just too many to count!

Waves of level 10 hero psionicists fell, like groves being harvested by the Grim Reaper, perishing in the burning, endless forest.

Ye Mingqiu, the instigator of it all, raised his menacing crimson spear, revealing a tyrannical, terrifying, and murderous smile.

"boom!!!"

Above the sky

"What are you doing?! Didn't you say you were going to gang up on him? Why are you doing this?"

Besh screamed as if she had broken down, but her hands moved quickly, ready to stab him from behind at any moment. The scream was just a way to attract his attention.

How could a psychic like her be so easily swayed by something like this? It's normal for psychics to be calculating and manipulative. It's entirely within her calculations that the other party was using her to accomplish something.

After all, this is the Heavenly Gate Trial. How could the psionicists fighting here save people for no reason? This is not the mortal world or the spirit world. Dying here doesn't mean you're truly dead.

"Because I need you, and I think it's cool and fun to do this. I'm someone who goes crazy sometimes, and I just happened to meet you, so I did it." Ritsu's smile remained bright, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did.

"You saved me, just because you went crazy? Is that all? Really?"

Bessie screamed again, tears welling in her eyes. Her small hand reached out from the shadows and embraced the other person's body, the dagger slowly turning towards their body.

Throughout the entire process, she acted as sorrowful as a girl whose feelings had been deceived, without revealing even the slightest bit of murderous intent. She simply stared directly at Ritsu, as if trying to get a response from him.

"Bah!"

The sharp spike pierced Bessie's chest, and despair appeared on her delicate face. This was not because she was already dead, but because the dagger in her hand could not penetrate.

Dog Hole Creek was definitely keeping its distance from me!

hateful!

“You acted very well. As an assassin, your performance was quite competent,” Law replied.

"It wasn't an act. When you saved me before, I was genuinely moved. It was the first time I had ever felt that way. I've always wanted to try it, but unfortunately, I've never encountered such a situation before."

Bessie chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "I never thought I'd be fooled by a man like this. Men really aren't all the same."

"is it?"

Lu lowered his eyes, his expression changing slightly. He sighed and said, "Women are all the same. Just now you put away your dagger, and then suddenly switched positions and stabbed me while you were saying those sentimental words. If I had actually believed your nonsense, I would have been dead just now."

"A heartless man."

Bessie's eyes gradually lost their luster, and she lowered her head, lifeless, as if she were already dead.

Lu released her hand, letting her fall naturally, and as she fell, intense flames gathered.

"Explosive Flame Technique".

A spectacular fireworks display exploded in mid-air, and Bessie, who had planned to fake her death and escape, was killed. Her severed arm flew and swirled in mid-air, and a middle finger could be vaguely seen pointing high.

"Humph~"

Lu chuckled and muttered to himself, "How could a truly rational mage be swayed by your words? It's one thing to fool the native inhabitants of the spirit world, but how could you possibly fool me?"

"I was fooled back in junior high!"

Chapter 160 Heavenly Ladder Arena

Endless Forest

The War Tyrant stood at the very center of the corpses of dozens of psionicists, with flames and collapsed giant trees as a backdrop, and traces of battle were visible everywhere.

[Sequence-First]

Divine Lord, Level 4 Legendary, 10500 points

Among the psionicists he killed, some had killed other psionicists and gained points, so he ultimately gained more than 10,000 points.

[Hint: You have met the score requirement and the trial has been completed. You will be immediately teleported to the Ladder Arena - Rest Area]

The sensation of spatial teleportation suddenly came over Ye Mingqiu. He lowered his eyes and thought to himself: Is it really necessary to be so fast? Could it be that the Spirit Realm is afraid that if I stay here any longer, it will prevent other spiritual energy users from passing the trial and thus affect the next trial?

whispering sound!

Is it really necessary to be so wary of me?

I'm not a bad person.

Ye Mingqiu spat and left the world in the light of teleportation. His ranking on the leaderboard also disappeared.

Ladder Arena - Rest Area

In the futuristic white room, Ye Mingqiu's figure suddenly appeared. He briefly adjusted to the sense of spatial teleportation and subconsciously looked around at his surroundings.

[Note: The rest area is a safe zone where psychics are protected by the spirit world.]

Protect?

Ye Mingqiu's eyes lit up slightly. If he did something dangerous in the safe zone, such as adding points to his talent without any supplements, would that protection be converted into his health points? Would that guarantee his safety?

[Note: The will of the spirit world only protects psychics from harm caused by external factors.]

"Oh~"

Ye Mingqiu was slightly disappointed, but this was normal. The will of the spirit world was not a nanny for psionicists; it was just relatively kind and friendly at the first level.

Upon reaching the second tier, the difficulty of the tasks assigned to psychics by the Spirit Realm's will increases significantly, and the penalties for failure also increase accordingly. Psychics whose foundation is not solid, whose strength is not strong enough, and whose thinking is still at the first tier are likely to be crushed by reality and ultimately remain at the second tier forever, or die.

The first stage is actually a protection period for beginners given by the will of the spirit world. Most spiritual beings will try to accumulate a foundation as much as possible at the limit of the first stage, which is a situation that only exists with the tacit approval of the spirit world.

Does the rest area refer to the area inside the room, or is the area outside the room also a rest area? Ye Mingqiu asked.

A: All non-combat areas within the Ladder Arena are safe zones.

To understanding.

Ye Mingqiu nodded, then pushed open the door and walked out of the white room. Looking at the long and magnificent corridor, he suddenly felt unsure of where to go.

So he opened his friends list.

God: I'm going to the rest area.

Shattered Star: Come here.

Shattered Star: [Location Shared: x, y, z]

God: Okay.

A few minutes later, Ye Mingqiu arrived at the arena's audience seats via location sharing. Tang Ruobing was sitting in a seat at the back, watching the battle analysis and taking notes to write a strategy guide.

"sit."

Tang Ruobing stared at the battle below and spoke without turning her head.

Ye Mingqiu sat down and looked down at the battle below.

Both sides of the battlefield are top-tier mages. One is a mage who is skilled in using dark magic, and the other is skilled in using elemental magic. The battle is currently quite intense, with powerful attacks of composite elements erupting one after another, but their strength is relatively limited.

It's the negative control effect of black magic. Black magic can weaken enemies and cast curses on them, and the effect is actually quite good.

"They're very strong, much stronger than the level 10 heroes I've encountered before," Ye Mingqiu said.

“Of course, this is a battle between the top ten strongest players on the Heavenly Ladder, so it’s bound to be intense,” Tang Ruobing said.

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu replied.

"How does it feel? Are level 10 hero-level psionicists difficult to deal with?"
