Chapter 609: The Fool's Title

Huff huff.

Left hand supporting his shoulder, Xiong Hanzi lugged a pile of stuff, his right hand clenched a handful of sand like stars.

He covered three steps in two, rushing to Lin An's side in one breath.

He wore a look of joy, holding it up to Lin An as if presenting a treasure.

"Lin Dui!"

"Hurry and grab it! This thing will move wildly!"

"Clang!"

Like scrap metal, the dismantled, broken control panel was tossed beside his feet.

His joy showed on his face.

His face fully showed the look of "come praise me".

Almost at the same time.

The world began to gradually fade out.

During the process of restarting the shutdown, the two people surrounded by a vast amount of spiritual energy were like stage actors bathing in darkness during curtain call.

This guy...

He really "carries" wherever he goes...

Lin An couldn't speak, so he reluctantly reached out with both hands to take Xiong Hanzi's spoils.

The feeling of attributes amplified to the limit was excruciatingly painful.

His flesh and blood felt as if constantly boiling.

?

"Lin Dui, why aren't you praising me?"

"What's with the look of being beaten up?"

"Is spiritual energy transformation this painful?"

"Why am I unaffected?"

Zhang Tie, showing little reaction, glanced suspiciously at his boss, about to speak.

But then a system notification sounded.

"Member Zhang Tie, completed the Strength Attribute Limit mission."

"Hum--"

In an instant.

Red light flared.

The energy generated out of thin air also surrounded him, though its magnitude was far less than Lin An's.

"What the hell?!"

Suddenly.

Xiong Hanzi's eyes bulged, his muscles twitching like a mouse's.

He, who usually didn't care about breaking a hand or foot, now felt as if he were being deep-fried.

He couldn't even last a second.

Under intense pain, he directly forced open the Bear Transformation State.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"Damn his grandma's leg!!!"

Shouting and yelling, Xiong Hanzi finally realized just how much pain Lin An was in.

Bar his teeth, mouth split open.

Lin An, face pale, looked at Xiong Hanzi who was about to pass out from pain, and forced a weak smile:

"Don't shout..."

"Hang in there..."

Even with strong will, Lin An didn't expect breaking the limit to be this painful.

Is this a cellular-level, even life-level transformation?

He could clearly feel his body constantly reorganizing, decomposing.

However, it seemed Xiong Hanzi did not receive the reward for the Final Battle mission.

What he got was the system's strength reward.

All four attributes broke through their limits at once; it seems the Savior System gave him an 'exclusive benefit'.

Just...

It really hurts...

During the spiritual energy transformation, Lin An forced himself to stay focused and checked all the rewards he had obtained.

At this point, only these cute rewards could slightly ease the pain....

"Ding, obtained A-rank special Prop 【Time Sand】 x3, a consumable."

"Prop Property: Sand grains imbued with temporal power; after use, they reverse the temporal state of events and affairs."

"1. Rewind: Consume 1 grain of Time Sand to projectively re-show events that occurred within a 20-meter radius."

"2. Accelerate: Use 1 grain of Time Sand to accelerate all actions. Maximum speed: 10x, duration 3 seconds."

"Note: Lost Time Sand, please use with caution. Using it amidst temporal errors may lead to unknown consequences."

The silver grains of sand carried a hint of warmth.

After quickly reviewing the explanation, Lin An thoughtfully tossed the Time Sand into his ring.

If nothing unexpected, it should be something from the Causal Sequence.

The effects are similar, but there are differences.

Similar to Yun Lin's talent in retrospect? But being able to specify this is still possible.

What interests him is still the acceleration effect.

10x acceleration, lasting 3 seconds?

I just don't know how the effect is.

If ten attacks per second, then...

Within three seconds, would I slash wildly 300 times?

Even an aircraft carrier fleet would be split to pieces, right?

Feeling the ever-growing power within, especially the mental strength constantly expanding.

Lin An only felt himself rapidly approaching non-human beings.

Bones began to be remodeled, and the attribute values in the data panel rose rapidly.

His complexion improved considerably; Lin An gritted his teeth and checked the Fourth Rank spiritual energy node again.

The spiritual energy node exuding a rich energy aura, after beginning to close in the Secret Realm world, seemed to be rapidly weakening.

Without Hesitation.

Directly activated the talent completion request; after a system prompt, the dark-blue spiritual energy node directly submerged into the body.

Anticipation, unease.

Compared to how powerful the imaginable limit is, the talent's advanced effect makes him immensely eager.

As for the control hub operation platform brought by Xiong Hanzi, Lin An merely treated it as scrap iron and stuffed it into the ring.

This thing, at most just thrown to the base's Zhuanxu for use...

「Beep, S-rank talent, Heavenly Human Form (defective), start completing... 」

Unexpected.

The spiritual energy node that submerged into the chest, like a refreshing fruit, began to reverse-repair the constantly reorganizing body.

The effect of strengthening to the limit seems better?

Instantly, Lin An realized.

By sheer chance, he seemed to have made a rather correct decision.

During the breakthrough of the limit, advanced talent...

There seem to be unknown benefits?

Almost at the moment his thoughts just began to turn, the Lin An floating in midair was suddenly flooded into consciousness by a massive data stream.

If someone stood before him observing at this moment, they could see his eyes rapidly refreshing lines of mysterious characters.

「Completing... 」

「Detected energy source, detected player attributes exceeding talent limit... 」

「&*&……%」

It seemed the system was also facing this situation for the first time, with large amounts of garbled information constantly washing over.

「Correcting... 」

In just a few seconds, Lin An only felt his thoughts frozen.

Everything seemed to have quieted down.

Beside him, the movements of the giant bear constantly howling and wildly striking the air began to slow.

Is time slowing down...

Or is my thought... speeding up?

With the final prolonged system announcement ending.

Lin An, as if fished out from the deep sea, gasped heavily, his whole body drenched in sweat.

「Beep, talent correction successful. »

「Current talent advanced from Heavenly Human Form to: Uninterrupted」

「Strength attribute enhancement completed... Current base (not counting equipment) physique: 40」

「Agility attribute enhancement completed... Current base agility: 40」

「Will attribute enhancement completed... Current base will: 40! 」

Dense information flooded the screen, after hardship comes sweetness.

Unable to think, Lin An's mind at this moment was fully invested in the newly acquired talent.

But the strengthening seemed not yet ended, a willpower hidden in the darkness suddenly surged into thought.

「In death battle reward fusion, current will attribute: 40+9! 」

「Correction calculation... 」

「Detected player will attribute breaking limit, obtained special title, and obtained special skill」

「Obtained will attribute breakthrough title: 【Fool】! 」
