At that point, he would truly be a walking arsenal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine could even fire a ball of water at the sun—assuming the water didn't evaporate, it would continue flying at a constant speed with the force he released it with. Alternatively, he could use Absolute Hit Lv.4 to create something akin to water manipulation: anything he touched could become a \"projectile,\" a carrier of his \"force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to that, Blaine could \"launch\" all sorts of strange things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, he could \"launch\" a file from one computer to another—no longer limited to physical matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The concept was vague.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it sounded incredibly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Blaine wasn't particularly interested in upgrading it right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because at the moment, what he lacked wasn't Absolute Hit Lv.4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolute Hit Lv.3 was already more than enough for him right now—in fact, he hadn't even fully mastered it yet. For his current situation, it was already overkill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were abilities that were easier to understand and possibly even more powerful than Absolute Hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine had better options—so why insist on upgrading it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, Diamond Body—although it cost far less to upgrade to Lv.4 than Absolute Hit, that didn't mean it was weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If your body is strong enough, Absolute Hit wouldn't even be able to harm you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, he set Diamond Body aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, while it was \"cheap\" compared to Absolute Hit, upgrading it from Lv.3 to Lv.4 still required 500 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine opened the system shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to buy some abilities, skills, or items to compensate for his weaknesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he set aside offensive-type abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly, Blaine found an item that was extremely useful for him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Poison Immunity (Pill)]: Price 50 million. After consumption, the user becomes immune to all toxins, immune to fog, impervious to all poisons in existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple description—but it filled a major gap for Blaine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poison!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was one of his weaknesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's more, this item that would upgrade his body to one immune to all poisons was a pill—not a skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn't take up a skill slot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was very nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, Blaine bought it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty million at a 10% discount—forty-five million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Hunter Space, a small, ordinary-looking black pill appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bought it to use it, naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine took the pill from the Hunter Space and swallowed it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The taste was average—just like a normal candy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there wasn't any special feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smacking his lips, Blaine thought to himself: 'I just ate something worth fifty million in one bite. Even Tony wouldn't splurge like this.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, if there was no special feeling, so be it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued browsing the system shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Blaine didn't hesitate at all—he spent 27 million to increase his physique by another 30 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike before when each point cost 500,000, after reaching 50 points in physique, each additional point now cost one million—the original price being 30 million. And 27 million after 10% discount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly outrageous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But feeling the surge of power in his body, Blaine hypnotized himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, there are people who want to spend money to boost their physique and can't—where else would you find such a good deal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After boosting his physique…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine turned his gaze to Mind Sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't paid it much attention before, because at the purchase stage, you could only see the effects of Lv.1 and Lv.2. Lv.3 remained hidden no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the system, if you haven't even reached Lv.2, how are you qualified to peek at Lv.3? Learn to walk before you try to run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After upgrading Mind Sense to Lv.2…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine finally saw what Lv.3 would look like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mind Sense Lv.3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most skills undergo a qualitative leap at Lv.3, and Mind Sense was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching Lv.3, Mind Sense changed its name to Mind Control—a weaker version of actual mind control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mind Sense Lv.3 could invade another person's mind—similar to Professor X (Charles), though a bit weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, once inside someone's mind, it also had a mind-reading effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, invading someone's mind is different from just reading their thoughts. Mind reading can easily tell what someone is thinking but doesn't work well over long distances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mind Sense, on the other hand, could invade someone's mind from a great distance and converse with them mentally. If their spiritual power was significantly weaker than his, he could even control their thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, this consumed a great deal of mental energy. So for short range, use mind reading; for long range, use mind control. Definitely the right approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's more, Mind Control could be used both offensively and defensively, with its mental attacks being formidable. It also greatly enhanced anything related to mental strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mental strength was another of Blaine's weaknesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*************************************\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can get access to early chapters on patr*on\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you like my work and you want to support me then you can become my patron on patre*n.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My patr*on account is Lord_Immortal_0170\u003C\u002Fp>",966,"2026-06-06T09:11:28.860Z",1,"novelbin.me","81dace803ab2a6ba915930a57c7245aff33780751107c5c7db32880943fbc3d2","marvel-hunter-chapter-305","marvel-hunter-chapter-56",411,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-hunter-cover.jpg"]
