Chapter 577: What Takes Others Years, He Does in Days

The skill space seemed like a mysterious, unfathomable realm, full of fantastical hues.

The skill space entered via a Skill Scroll was worlds apart from the one Jiang Chen had found at this moment using his own power.

At that time, he felt as if he were in a hazy cloud, only vaguely sensing the surroundings and unable to see his skill space clearly.

But now, Jiang Chen finally could perceive the true appearance of the skill space clearly.

He seemed to stand beneath a dazzling starry sky, those twinkling points like countless stars, each emitting enchanting light.

Jiang Chen knew those points represented the skills he possessed.

Each point contained a powerful force, waiting for his awakening and release.

Standing at the center of the skill space, Jiang Chen felt an unprecedented excitement and thrill.

He knew he was about to begin a new journey, exploring his limits and forging his own brilliance in this world full of mystery and challenges.

Each skill star core radiated a unique glow—some bright as a blazing sun, others faint as fireflies; their brightness and colors differed, symbolizing the strength and traits of each skill.

At first, Jiang Chen only gave a fleeting glance, unable to explore this skill space in depth.

But now he finally had the chance to examine this mysterious world closely.

It was a realm like the cosmic starry sky, boundless, deep and vast.

Jiang Chen's Soul Energy poured in like a gentle stream, and his consciousness deepened with it. In this world that felt both unreal and real, Jiang Chen gradually coalesced, becoming a soul entity.

The moment he appeared, the entire skill space seemed summoned, beginning to quake violently.

The skill star cores that had been still now seemed given life, beginning to rotate slowly.

They centered on Jiang Chen's soul entity, like stars orbiting the sun, forming a marvelous vortex.

Jiang Chen stood at the vortex's core, feeling as if he were the center of this world, with all skill star cores under his control.

The feeling was extraordinarily wondrous, as if he wielded a great power.

Aside from the Primordial Rune skill, Killing Domain, and Divine Power, all my other skills have already condensed into skill star cores.

Jiang Chen whispered in his mind, counting the skill star cores rotating around him.

There were currently nineteen skill star cores, representing his nineteen skills, including various active and passive ones.

Jiang Chen understood that the next task was to take these skill star cores out of the skill space and merge them with his soul.

It was a huge challenge, but he was already prepared.

He inhaled deeply and began trying to touch those skill star cores with his Soul Energy.

But soon he faced the first difficulty: the skill star cores seemed bound by some force, hard to touch easily.

Jiang Chen did not lose heart; he knew this was only the beginning. He understood that moving these skill star cores out would require more effort and wisdom.

But he was already ready to meet the upcoming challenges.

The skill star cores appeared tiny yet were profound, as if they could devour everything.

When Jiang Chen continuously poured his Soul Energy into them, it felt like throwing it into the Abyss, receiving almost no feedback.

Although the skill star cores became more dazzling under the nourishment of Soul Energy, Jiang Chen noticed no substantive change beyond that.

Nevertheless, Jiang Chen was not discouraged. Having taken this step, he had no intention of turning back.

He firmly believed that anything others could achieve, he could also achieve.

Thus, he mobilized an even greater amount of Soul Energy, battering the gate of the skill space like a raging storm, attempting to break through the seemingly invisible barrier and directing his Soul Energy precisely at the chosen skill star core.

Finally, the skill star core showed a clear response. Under the continual infusion of Soul Energy, it grew brighter, and its link with Jiang Chen tightened.

Jiang Chen clearly sensed that the skill he had selected was "Damage Transfer". It was his first passive skill and his means of survival.

All along, the "Damage Transfer" skill had played a crucial role in Jiang Chen's adventures; countless times when facing life‑or‑death crises, it was this skill that saved him.

Therefore, when Jiang Chen discovered his first chosen skill was "Damage Transfer", he felt very pleased.

The importance of this skill was self‑evident; it had almost become Jiang Chen's talisman.

Next, Jiang Chen began trying to take the skill star core out of the skill space.

However, he soon found it was not easy. The skill star core seemed bound by an invisible force, so heavy that he could barely move it.

"Is this the second difficulty?" Jiang Chen thought to himself, "Looks like I need to use more Soul Energy."

Thus, he once again mobilized an even larger amount of Soul Energy, throwing his all into trying to take the skill star core out of the skill space.

His soul kept exerting force, and each attempt moved the skill star core a tiny distance.

Meanwhile, Antares, silently observing nearby, was also stirred by Jiang Chen's actions.

It murmured, "That kid has indeed started. His skills are truly powerful; moving these skill star cores will likely be quite difficult."

"Should I lend him a hand?" Antares hesitated briefly, but ultimately decided not to intervene.

"Not helping!" Antares declared resolutely to himself, "Let that kid feel how hard it is himself; when he begs me, I'll step in. Only then will he understand this path isn't so easy."

"Otherwise, he might think the world is simple and underestimate its challenges," Antares hummed, continuing to watch Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was now moving the skill star core with all his might, knowing this was part of the path required to clash with a Divine-level Strongman.

In this era, his path was unique, filled with challenges.

Moving the skill star core was not simple, especially with a passive skill as absurdly powerful as "Damage Transfer", making it even harder.

Jiang Chen had already expended all his Soul Energy, barely managing to shift the skill star core a little.

But Jiang Chen did not give up; he firmly believed that with effort he would surely succeed.

The channel between his soul and the skill star core had opened; now all he needed to do was follow that channel, moving the skill from the skill space into his soul world.

Jiang Chen kept striving, trying again and again, moving it each time.

His soul seemed to exhaust all its strength; whenever utterly fatigued, he rested briefly, then resumed after recovery.

This fatigue did not stem from his body, but from deep within his soul.

But at this moment, Jiang Chen's Level 60 Divine Power played a huge role.

He had originally thought that after acquiring the Full-Connection Talent, Divine Power would only boost attributes upon leveling up and would no longer aid Spiritual Power recovery.

However, the fact is not so. Divine Power can not only restore his Spiritual Power, but also restore his soul power.

This makes Jiang Chen's soul recovery speed far exceed that of ordinary people, reaching an astonishing 6900%.

With such a recovery speed, Jiang Chen's skill relocation work becomes much easier. He gradually understands how difficult it is to become a Divine-level Strongman.

Even though those people's soul power can move a skill star core, they become exhausted due to slow recovery. Yet he can recover swiftly and press on.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's awe toward the Divine-level Strongman wells up, and he knows he still has a long way to go.

Moving bit by bit, this process undoubtedly requires a long time.

However, under the miraculous boost of Divine Power, Jiang Chen's soul recovers unusually fast, allowing him to continuously move skill star cores.

He does not slack off, persisting tirelessly. After five days, he finally succeeds in moving the skill star core representing "damage transfer" out of the skill space.

The moment the skill star core leaves the skill space, a unique and powerful aura suddenly emanates.

If an outsider were to notice this aura, they would be amazed, for it is precisely the aura characteristic of a Half-step God-level Strongman.

Generally, only those top practitioners who have reached Level 89, when moving a skill out of the skill space during the clash with Divine Level, emit such an aura.

This aura is also called a half-god aura.

However, unbelievably, Jiang Chen is only Level 69 now, yet already possesses this aura. If anyone were present, they would drop their jaws at the sight.

Because this situation far exceeds the normal human's realm of understanding.

In the eyes of Antares, who silently observed from the side, a hint of smile flashed, and he thought to himself, "This kid is truly something, actually managed to do it."

Originally it thought to wait for Jiang Chen to retreat in difficulty and then actively seek its help.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Chen, relying only on his own strength, completed this feat within just a few days.

However, Antares soon discovered an anomaly.

It blinked its huge eyes, muttering in doubt, "That's not right, why is this kid's soul recovery speed so fast?"

It sniffed Jiang Chen carefully, finally murmuring, "Seems to have the scent of Divine Power."

"Right, this kid must have received Divine Power before," Antares said, enlightened.

But immediately, it frowned, "Even with Divine Power, it shouldn't be this fast."

"What takes others many years to achieve, how does this kid finish it in a few days?" Antares' mind filled with doubt and curiosity.

It decided to thoroughly interrogate Jiang Chen, to see what secret this kid truly hides.

Thus, its huge eyes stared tightly at Jiang Chen, and an invisible Whip seemed to actually appear above its head.

And Jiang Chen couldn't help but shiver, feeling an inexplicable sense of oppression.
