Chapter 359 - 272: The First Super Trait
The resurrection event continued to ferment.
More and more powerhouses poured into Sword Lake County. Almost everyone went from initial skepticism to curiosity, and finally to belief. They were shocked, curious, and fervent.
Everyone wanted to know where the Resurrection Ability came from. From the True Martial Realm to the Human Immortal Realm, more and more powerhouses arrived one after another.
After some inquiries, they all received the same answer from those with the Resurrection Ability—
A stream of light flew by and lightly touched each person, and everyone sensed a mysterious rune appearing in their minds, granting them the ability to resurrect once.
Where did the stream of light come from?
No one knew.
Why did the light find them?
No one knew that either.
After some investigation, people slowly discovered that almost every Martial Artist in Sword Lake County had been touched by the light. In other words, nearly all the martial artists in this vast area now had the Resurrection Ability.
Then disaster befell these people.
Those who came from all over the world brought together the top powerhouses from the entire Luotian Continent, their power naturally surpassing that of the martial artists in Sword Lake County.
The Martial Arts Realm has always been ruthless.
These top powerhouses, upon learning that many people possessed mysterious runes that could bring the dead back to life, naturally wanted to seize them.
As for how to seize them? They didn’t know.
So, they could only try recklessly.
In the eyes of these top powerhouses, the weak were merely sheep to the slaughter.
They used all kinds of cruel and bloody methods such as blood extraction, dissection, and raw consumption.
Even those whose Life Talisman had been used up, as well as some ordinary people, became prey in this county-wide capture operation.
After all, whether the Life Talisman existed was only known to Su Xin and the host themselves. These top powerhouses, determined to obtain the Life Talisman by any means, didn’t want to miss even a sliver of hope.
For a time, the entire Sword Lake County became a hunting ground and battlefield for a large number of top powerhouses. Everywhere was filled with wailing, rivers of blood flowed, and martial arts almost became a taboo for everyone. No one dared to practice, nor did anyone dare to call themselves a martial artist, lest they be captured on that very day.
In the midst of this frenzied slaughter, the Life Talisman was being triggered more and more frequently.
In just over a month, half of the one million Life Talismans that Su Xin had planted were activated.
At this moment, a system notification awakened Su Xin from his cultivation:
"Ding! Host’s causality points have reached a billion, triggering system upgrade conditions. After upgrading, the superpower optimization function will be enabled. Would you like to spend a billion causality points to upgrade the system?"
"A billion causality points? Upgrade?"
Su Xin was startled.
He had been in seclusion these past days, not paying attention to how quickly his causality points were increasing. Unknowingly, it had reached a billion, the largest balance he had seen since awakening the system.
After a slight sensing, he found that more than half of the Life Talismans outside were still untriggered, which meant he would continue to gain a large number of causality points, probably far exceeding a billion.
Thus, he wasn’t particularly concerned about the current billion causality points.
"System upgrade!"
"Ding! System upgrade complete!"
"Superpower optimization function has been successfully enabled!"
With the appearance of a surge of information in his mind, Su Xin gained an understanding of the superpower optimization function.
As the name implies, superpower optimization is to optimize the superpower, changing its properties or traits to make it more perfect.
However, superpower optimization requires a billion causality points. The billion causality points he just acquired had been used to upgrade the system, so he didn’t have that much for now, and had to wait for the subsequent activation of the Life Talismans.
Thus.
Su Xin continued his seclusion and cultivation.
Another month passed, and the causality points finally accumulated to a billion again.
Su Xin opened his personal panel and began selecting the first superpower to optimize.
Since his recent efficiency in acquiring causality points had greatly increased, Su Xin wasn’t worried about lacking causality points, so he didn’t need to consider too much and simply chose one of the most frequently used superpowers.
"Optimize, Exercise Maniac!"
"Ding! Please choose whether to optimize the superpower attribute or which characteristic to optimize?"
Each superpower can only be optimized once, so this choice must be taken seriously.
Su Xin pondered for a moment and finally chose to optimize the Physical Transformation trait.
"Ding! Physical Transformation optimization successful!"
"Acquired new trait [Ultra. Physical Transformation]"
[Ultra. Physical Transformation: Under the effect of the superpower, all physical qualities, along with cultivation and law comprehension, will be comprehensively enhanced as power increases, while maintaining a normal physique as much as possible.]
Seeing the new trait, even though Su Xin had been mentally prepared the moment the system upgrade was completed, his eyes couldn’t help but flash brightly.
The optimized new trait Ultra Physical Transformation adds cultivation and law comprehension to the enhancement effects of the original Physical Transformation.
This means that as long as he continuously triggers the Exercise Maniac superpower, not only will his physical qualities be comprehensively improved, but even his cultivation and law comprehension will continually advance, eliminating the need for slow cultivation and comprehension.
This is true endless empowerment.
There’s no denying that the emergence of this Super Trait resulted in a qualitative transformation for Su Xin.
Originally, he could only endlessly enhance his physical body, but in front of Human Immortal Realm and Earth Immortal Realm powerhouses, his terrifying strength and defense seemed to have little meaning at the current stage.
