Chapter 97

【Legendary Talent - Heart of Steel】

【Description: Heart firm as iron, refining will into steel. No matter how weak the life, it will reveal an extraordinary spiritual conviction — this is the inevitable path to becoming a strongman.】

【Trait: Automatically identifies consciousness bodies within two kilometers and marks hostile camps; when you launch an attack, you can forcibly extract a portion of spiritual field power to yourself, achieving unlimited growth.】

【Advancement Route: Devour ten upper-level attendants, or ten Netherworld great demons.】

……

【Legendary Talent - Perfect Body】

【Description: Ultimate defense, ultimate recovery, ultimate dissolution, ultimate stamina. You will obtain a perfect body similar to that of a high-level being.】

【Trait: By consuming potential, open the Body Four Great Limits, driving tendons, bones, skin, and membranes toward perfection.】

【Advancement Route: One death, or burning out Qi life force.】

Qin Shi closed his eyes and entered the Thinking Hall, a more rational, calmer state enveloping him.

He pondered whether to go all the way in one step, break through the Four Limits barrier, and become an output monster with high offense and high defense;

or to pursue the future, develop comprehensively, and let his spiritual field power and Qi life force have no shortcomings.

"【Perfect Body】 can let me advance another level in Old Martial Arts fighting methods and practice methods, becoming a true martial arts genius."

Qin Shi was very tempted; opening the Four Limits barrier in one go would surely bring a surge in Qi life force — not to mention a First-Rank Academy, even the admission conditions of the Four Great National Universities could be casually met.

"Does this even need thinking?"

The Dao Nature Avatar Super Xiao He suddenly spoke up.

"It's obviously simple."

Qin Shi asked curiously:

"You say, which one is better?"

As a Dao Nature Avatar that had absorbed and integrated He Lanchan's martial arts Qi Rhyme, its insight and understanding were naturally a notch above his own.

Super Xiao He answered expressionlessly:

"Definitely 【Heart of Steel】, a noble growable entry.

Theoretically speaking, as long as you live long enough and enter the Netherworld enough times, you will inevitably promote to a Shen Li Da General Manager Shi."

That seemed quite reasonable.

Qin Shi nodded unconsciously, then asked again:

"Is a Shen Li Da General Manager Shi stronger than a Martial God?"

Super Xiao He's rigid face twitched twice, as if unwilling to bother.

Such a childish question — what's the difference from asking which is stronger, Battle Tyrannosaurus or Metal Garurumon, or Huang Tiandi and Ye Tiandi?

Come to think of it, what are these? Why would I know them?

The Dao Nature Avatar Super Xiao He couldn't help feeling confused, then, like a search engine receiving a query, gave an answer uncontrollably:

"Roughly equivalent. If a Shen Li Da General Manager Shi occupies a Daoist Arena advantage, they might be slightly stronger. Their powerful spirit combines tightly with the planet's orbital trajectory, thereby achieving Unity of Heaven and Man, Self and Object Both Forgotten.

Unless a Martial God shatters the planet beneath their feet, they cannot break through a Shen Li Da General Manager Shi's defensive methods, and can only passively take a beating, even generating an illusion of 'being enemies with the world'."

A person's spirit, leveraging an entire planet?

Qin Shi found it somewhat difficult to imagine — what kind of terrifying power was that?

With his current spiritual field power that had broken through twenty points, even lifting a cup of water was very difficult.

"Never mind, being a future warrior with unlimited growth isn't bad either — at least there's something to look forward to."

Qin Shi decided to follow Super Xiao He's suggestion; as his thoughts flashed, the lit plus sign was gently pressed.

Transformation choice, 【Heart of Steel】!

Dong!

Qin Shi's head suddenly jerked up, and he fell heavily backward.

He, who instantly exited the Thinking Hall, was as if struck by an eighty-pound sledgehammer; his eardrums buzzed, and stars burst before his eyes.

"Cao……"

Qin Shi really wanted to spew profanity; the sudden intense pain caught him off guard, as if he had been ambushed.

After a good long while, that sensation of suffering a heavy blow, of his skull exploding, finally slowly subsided.

He closed his eyes and entered the Thinking Hall once more.

That Void Space expanded again, roughly seven or eight square meters, comparable to his own bedroom; strands of gaseous flow drifted, like morning mist brushed by a gentle breeze.

"My spiritual field power has materialized? From invisible and intangible, turning into this Qi mist form!"

Qin Shi grabbed a handful; it passed through his fingers, slightly cool, like melted ice and snow.

"Once spiritual field power materializes, won't I be able to project it externally? Lifting a water cup, bending a spoon — just around the corner!"

Super Xiao He rolled his eyes.

Truly no ambition.

A Shen Li Da General Manager Shi can leverage a planet, operate magnetic poles.

As a life that might reach that step, you're actually only thinking of lifting water cups and bending spoons.

【53】 "Super Xiao He's emotions are becoming more and more obvious, like a gradually evolving intelligent AI."

"Super Xiao He's emotions are becoming more and more obvious, like an Intelligence AI that is gradually Evolving."

Qin Shi keenly perceived the Dao Nature Avatar's disdain; he magnanimously forgave himself:

"I upgraded 【Deep Sleep】 to the Legendary Talent 【Heart of Steel】; my spiritual field power hasn't increased noticeably, but my perception is a large chunk stronger than before."

He raised his head and discovered that outside the even sturdier Thinking Hall, that deep void resembled a torn curtain, revealing crack after crack.

What's that?

Super Xiao He, like a faithful reliable search engine, proactively answered for Qin Shi:

"The Netherworld. Normally speaking, the naked eye cannot observe its existence, but once spiritual field power materializes, you can touch the edge of reality; passing through those cracks, you can roam those unknowable lands via a consciousness body formed by the spirit."

Thinking of the Achievement Trait granted by 【Heart of Steel】, Qin Shi couldn't help but feel restless.

Really want to steel once, stack the Shu Zi!

"Without learning the Shen Neng Xi's offensive and defensive methods, it is not suggested to rashly enter the Netherworld; it is very dangerous, the same even for Shen Li Da General Manager Shi."

Super Xiao He advised.

That dog woman Lin Yunqing seems to be a Shen Neng Xi student at Qiguang Heng University.

And she is at the realm of fourth-year ultimate Perfection, half-step unemployed corporate slave.

Another day I'll ask her, wool some Esper basic Teaching content.

Qin Shi has always adhered to the Principle of "listen to advice, eat full meals," did not get hot-headed, recklessly charge into the Netherworld.

Upgrade complete, seized Legendary Talent 【Heart of Steel】, he prepared to exit the Thinking Hall, begin today's training.

Life Force Development cannot fall behind, Hundred Aspects Refine Momentum/Force and Wind Fist Style must Persist daily, accumulate Progress.

But a sudden "woof woof" sound appeared, dispelling Qin Shi's thought.

He fixed his eyes to look, the seemingly repaired and remodeled Thinking Hall, unknown when, had gained one strange Creature.

Where did this orange little dog come from?

The Stele Panel faintly vibrated, 【Guo Sheng Zhang】 directly triggered.

Listed it as a food ingredient, gave information.

【Food Ingredient Classification: Follower】

【Quality: Intermediate】

【Edible Parts: Head, Body, Tail】

【Consumption Effect: Network interference, data exchange, encryption decryption, has a certain probability of obtaining "Electronic Hacker" Certification】

"Where did this Zhe Jian Dong Xi pop out from?"

Qin Shi strode over, picked up this palm-sized orange little dog.

Round belly floated with numbers and symbols similar to Mobile Phone keys, Tail like a signal-receiving antenna.

"That Electronic Demon you drove out from Cheng Ze's body, its Breath was likewise accommodated by the Thinking Hall, projected into a little dog."

Super Xiao He truly lives up to Doraemon, always able to resolve Qin Shi's Confusion.

Electronic pet?

Qin Shi looked at the orange little dog, thinking, is virtual dog Meat Good Food?

After all, looking at the Consumption Effect, seems pretty good, can add quite a few "Attribute".

"Whine whine..."

The orange little dog wagged its antenna Tail, then stood it straight up, emitted beeping sounds.

The keys on its round belly brightened and flashed, as if dialing a phone, beeping away.

Immediately After, an Application Software called "Killed It" popped out.

"Dog-shaped Mobile Phone?"

Qin Shi understood, this orange little dog transformed from an Electronic Demon, was showing him its use to avoid the fate of being eaten.
