Chapter 5: Balanced Force: All Passive Skill Level Caps Increased by Lv.5.

...

All five choices were extremely powerful. Su Xiao weighed his options. Having already experienced the benefits of [Life Tier Permanent +1] — the enhancement to himself and the removal of hidden dangers — the prospect of [Body Energy Tier Permanent +1] was undeniably tempting.

[Due to the numerous factors related to your ability system involved in this enhancement, this upgrade will bring about changes and improvements to your innate ability, Soul Devourer.]

[Do you wish to select 'Soul Awakening'? You will lose certain existing abilities as a result!]

Su Xiao continued to choose 'Soul Awakening'. In an instant, he felt as if his heart was about to burst. The blood within him was illuminated blue by his internal body energy, and his heartbeat thundered like a war drum, reverberating in his ears.

The upgrade lasted only an hour, but to Su Xiao, it felt like several days, or even longer. Fortunately, he managed to endure it successfully. Once again, he was grateful for the Law-Destroying abilities developed by the Ancestral Law Destroyers.

[Body Energy Tier Permanent +1.]

[Your Mana Points increased by 100%.]

[Your current Mana Points are 421,000 points (this enhancement removed the previously overly mixed bonuses). According to initial regulations, if a body enhancement leads to a decrease in the upper limit of body energy after the enhancement due to the failure of certified equipment, skills, etc., the corresponding number of 'Supreme Tier Corresponding Characteristic Body Energy' permanent enhancements must be granted by the affiliated Paradise faction.]

[Current abilities that can still enhance 'Supreme Tier Mana Points': None.]

[Current equipment and titles that can still enhance 'Supreme Tier Mana Points': None.]

[Judgment complete. Your Supreme Tier Mana Points must be raised to 421,000 points.]

...

Compared to the previous transformation of Health Points, the experience of this Mana Points transformation was more pronounced. The portion of impure body energy was purged, and then gradually replenished by 'Non-Hidden Characteristic', exceptionally pure, primordial body energy. This was then rapidly devoured by his own 'Basic Body Energy', ultimately strengthening it.

It was hard to imagine that purifying both life force and body energy could feel so effortless and refreshing.

Su Xiao raised his hand. The Proud Song crystal layer instantly climbed onto his right hand. The speed of this climb was more than three times faster than before. Not only that, but its strength had also increased by at least a third. It seemed that the purity achieved by fusing body energy was also a form of power.

[You have acquired the Supreme Passive: Soul Source.]

[Soul Source: Lv.1 (Supreme Rank Passive)]

Skill Effect: Increases Mana Points by 5,000.

...

At first glance, this ability seemed too ordinary. However, the body energy it enhanced had no hidden characteristics, and the increase was substantial. 'Supreme Passive' could likely be leveled up to Lv.110. Even if the enhancement effect didn't increase per level, at 5,000 points per level, max level would grant 550,000 Mana Points.

It was worth noting that from the First Rank to the peak of Absolute Strength, Su Xiao only had a little over 200,000 Mana Points. It was only upon advancing to Supreme that his Mana Points doubled. Yet even so, it only reached 420,000. Body energy was far more difficult to increase than Health Points.

[Due to your 'Body Energy Tier Permanent +1', your Slaughter Talent, Soul Devourer, has been enhanced, resulting in a corresponding characteristic change.]

[Your 'Slaughter Talent: Soul Devourer' has lost the 'Body Energy Growth Characteristic'. This loss is a result of the enhancements derived from your advancement to Supreme. Your 'Slaughter Talent: Soul Devourer' will be balanced.]

['Body Energy Growth Characteristic' has been changed to 'Soul Growth Characteristic'.]

[Soul Devourer]

Category: Slaughter Talent (Awakened Twice)

Rank: SSS

Talent Effect (Passive): You can increase your Soul Strength by absorbing/eating 'Rare Soul Resources'.

Hint: A maximum of 150 points of Soul Strength can be increased per World Progress.

...

A 'Soul Crystal Core' appeared in Su Xiao's hand. He took a bite with a crunch. It could only be said that, as expected of a 'Soul Crystal Core', second only to a 'Soul Crystal', its taste was indeed different from a 'Soul Crystal' — the flavor was richer.

[As you have advanced to Supreme, and with an ultra-limit specification Supreme advancement, checking your number of Followers...]

[Number of your Followers: 5.]

[You have received Follower Advancement Medals × 5 (Supreme Tier).]

...

[Your personal Technique Trait Potential Cap has increased by +120 (pre-enhancement was 11).]

...

This enhancement was crucial for Su Xiao. It didn't show any immediate effect now, but in the future, when his technique abilities truly reached their limit, he would understand the preciousness of this trait.

It seemed that beyond Technique Grandmaster, one could use [Beyond Grandmaster] to go to the 'Grandmaster Hall' certified by the Void Tree for a Grandmaster Advancement Ceremony. The problem was that everything had a limit. The carrying capacity trait for technique abilities was the limit in this regard.

Leaving aside the fact that without a high enough 'Technique Trait Potential Cap', it was impossible to activate [Beyond Grandmaster], and one wouldn't even qualify to go to the 'Grandmaster Hall'. Even if one did go and completed the 'Advancement Ceremony', the peak technique ability mastered after advancement would have a level cap of 10 versus a level cap of 90. Was that the same level of strength?

The level cap for abilities after mastering a peak technique ability was determined by one's own 'Technique Trait Potential Cap'.

Before advancing to Supreme, Su Xiao had never even heard of such a trait. It was evident that this was an enhancement that only appeared during the advancement to Supreme. How high the enhancement went depended on the specifications of the Supreme advancement. Su Xiao's enhancement amount was clearly proportional to his exaggerated advancement specifications.

[You have acquired the exclusive Supreme Passive: Source of Strength (Sealed).]

[Warning: Before your True Strength, Agility, Stamina, and Intelligence attributes reach 1500 points, and your Soul Strength reaches 1800 points, you must absolutely not activate this ability prematurely!]

[Hint: Because this Supreme Passive is too powerful, it will occupy 5 'Supreme Passive Skill Slots'.]

...

[Hint: Due to your ultra-limit specification Supreme advancement, you have obtained ??? Supreme Cap!]

A never-before-seen golden-red prompt appeared before his eyes, and it appeared three times in a row. This showed just how important and critical this enhancement was.

Su Xiao estimated that the previous enhancements accounted for roughly 10,000 points of 'Supreme Potential Points' worth of enhancement. The 'Technique Trait Potential Cap' accounted for 15,000 points.

'Source of Strength' accounted for 20,000 points. And 'You have obtained ??? Supreme Cap' must have exclusively occupied the remaining 75,000 points of 'Supreme Potential Points'. Furthermore, this was the qualification to one day face the Supreme Being. However, for now, it was merely a qualification.

As for the [Follower Advancement Medals], these were one of the fixed benefits of advancing to Supreme. However, because his advancement specifications were astonishing, the strength of these medals was naturally also astonishing.

[Your Origin Stone: World's Enhancement Effect 3: Enthronement, has been activated.]

[Hint: This enhancement requires your four main attributes to reach 1000 points before it can be triggered.]

...

Su Xiao took out the [Origin Stone: World]. He could clearly feel that this Origin Stone was different from before.
