Chapter 904: Honor Points

Honor Interface... 」

「Exchange Options.. 」

A quick scan revealed that Lin An unexpectedly discovered that on the newly appeared honor panel, there were actually three additional exchange panels.

Attributes, Recovery Function, Battle Zone Permission.

Similar to the Reputation Shop, except that all three exchange options are unavailable in the shop, and the latter two are also grayed out, indicating they cannot be used.

Unlock after 100 Honor, 1000 Honor?

In a moment's thought, after reading a brief explanation of Human Honor, Lin An realized that the source of Honor Points was killing YiKongjian creatures.

Third Level: Elementary 3 points, Intermediate 9 points, Advanced 27 points.

No Honor is awarded below Third Level.

The information revealed in just a few characters, combined with the acquisition of Honor Points being linked to the word 'Human'...

Obviously the system strongly 'advocates' that humans kill these monsters.

Seeing the 9 points on his panel, Lin An quickly clicked the sole option, Attribute Exchange.

After a moment, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, suddenly feeling somewhat surprised.

2 Honor... exchanges for 1 Attribute point!?

Moreover, there's no type restriction; any attribute can be exchanged?

Just in time.

Thinking of the 3 points of Physique he had been forced to consume earlier, Lin An hesitated not, chose to exchange, and directly turned 8 Honor points into Attribute points.

However, when allocating, he still chose Agility.

With two hits being fatal, an extra one or two points of Physique meant little to him; anyway, he just relied on relentless hard resistance.

On the contrary, increasing Agility could give him faster attack speed or escape.

He hadn't expected the system to be so generous, or that Honor Points were so valuable, and a strange thought suddenly arose in Lin An's mind.

He licked his lips, subconsciously using his mental power to sweep past the two people rapidly chasing him from behind.

One Elementary, one Advanced...

If he killed them both, wouldn't that be 15 Attribute points!?

Although he had been lamenting the waste of 3 Attribute points, Lin An never imagined that simply killing that creature would actually net him a gain of 1 point.

A 15-point Attribute increase...

With Spiritual Energy boost, equivalent to Second Level, it becomes 30 Attribute points.

If the Spiritual Energy limit were raised from 20 to 40, that would be four times 60 points...

At Intermediate level, his maximum limit is also four times the 80 points of an ordinary Awakened One...

That would work out to 120 Attribute points, wouldn't it!?

Even though Lin An considered himself worldly and unflappable, having seen all sorts of good things...

But after a simple calculation, his heart still jumped violently.

How could it be so 'valuable'...

At that moment, he even doubted whether the system had made a mistake.

After only a brief jolt, Lin An quickly suppressed his turbulent thoughts and calmly considered.

First, the calculation method for exchanging Honor Points for Attributes, although he hadn't miscalculated.

But the actual effect cannot actually be calculated this way.

If he attacks below Third Level, he can certainly overwhelm with a hundred-point Attribute effect, but against peers, the opponent also has Spiritual Energy enhancement.

Of course, if he could truly achieve a crush of over ten or even several tens of Attribute points, among equals, a strike could likely obliterate the opponent.

Combined with fixed critical hits and crushing...

He himself wouldn't need to, like just now, spend a lot of time or rely on a sneak attack to grind down that Third Level opponent. He also noticed that before the opponent died, they seemed unwilling, as if they still had some hidden trump card unused.

Moreover, accustomed to instantly killing peers, since advancing to Third Level, Lin An has never been fully satisfied with his own strength.

Too weak... how could it compare to Second Level, when one person could face an army?

Leaving aside other matters, in his memory, the mutant species that appeared much later were all large-scale operations.

The creatures bursting forth from YiKongjian almost instantly occupied vast territories, forcing humanity to continually compress its living space.

The idea of facing them one-on-one or against only a few mutant species hardly exists.

He took a deep breath, unsure whether it was the stimulation of Honor Points.

Lin An's sense of crisis actually diminished considerably, replaced by a strong killing intent.

Not only him, but even the Second Will within the Thought Space, upon realizing this, showed some movement in its gaze.

Opportunity is hard to come by...

Although he didn't know why the other party came to chase him, nor which YiKongjian mutant species they were.

But at this very moment, a thought flashed simultaneously in both of their minds...

But at this very moment, a thought simultaneously flashed through both of their minds...

Even if we have to devise a plan, seek an opportunity, we must try to kill them as much as possible!

A 15-point Attribute boost—that's the effect that would take him over two months of full-power operation of the Cataclysmic Force without consumption or combat to achieve...

15-point attribute bonus, that is something that, without consuming anything, without fighting, by fully exerting the power of calamity for over two months, could achieve the effect...

As for the opponent's identity, and why they are chasing him...

A flicker of coldness flashed in Lin An's eyes.

Clearly the YiKongjian invasion was supposed to appear only in the third year approaching the Apocalypse, yet it has shown up now.

Obviously the YiKongjian invasion was supposed to appear only when the Apocalypse was approaching its third year, but it has appeared now.

Thinking of those who clearly hunt him, Lin An, even lacking information, instantly realized the Huaxia warzone likely suffered a major upheaval.

The pursuers wore military uniforms, regardless of whether they were misleading him or indifferent to exposure.

The military is definitely related to them.

Either the capital, or some warzone has produced an YiKongjian passage...

And now it has appeared.

Whether it's the butterfly effect or the YiKongjian invasion began long ago, both can be explained.

But my Past Life self had no right to know..

Plus the seized spatial crystal, after a little thought he pointed his suspicion at several possible existences.

The original plan of fleeing if things went badly was completely dispelled.

After killing the opponent, he had plenty of ways to pry open the corpse's mouth.

By then, all answers would be known.

Descent activated.

Ignoring the gazes full of killing intent behind him, Lin An's figure burst forth, in one breath continuously blinking, instantly disappearing before the pursuers' eyes.

"Trash.."

Chen Yangtian looked at the rotten flesh under his feet, and a scornful mockery came to his ears.

The speaker was the strongest existence in the team, that silver-haired man.

Not daring to talk back, he silently clenched his fists, carefully examining the lump mixed with rock, hardly discernible in shape, a chill flashed in his heart.

In less than three seconds, Number Four, who was considerably stronger than him, died just like that.

If the target just now had been me, wouldn't I have died even faster?

Unable to comprehend how Lin An did it, the only thing that made him feel a bit better was that Number Four didn't have time to release his original form before dying.

What Lin An killed instantly does not count as him at his strongest form.

Off guard, he was directly killed on the spot, unable even to manifest his true body, so it's no wonder the silver-haired man spoke that way.

But, seeing the silver-haired man halt in place, Chen Yangtian's expression was doubtful:

"Sir, shouldn't we pursue him?"

Lin An cannot keep blinking forever; if they catch up now, they won't lose him.

Moreover, they had been nonstop before coming, wasting no time, so how come now..

This third-rank senior, instead, has let his guard down?

"Not urgent."

Scanning the surroundings, the silver-haired man, expressionless, stepped with one foot on his companion's "corpse foam", bent down, extended a finger and licked it.

"This area is problematic, and I think I know where this is.."

"He, Lin An, cannot escape..."
