Chapter 141: The System Store's Fifth Update, the Game Officially Begins!

No one knew, Ye Bai's eyes suddenly lit up!

At this moment, in his mind, his Mental Power was expanding crazily!

It had increased by at least several times!

It was, in fact, Mental Power entering the Fourth Grade!

Do not forget, eight days ago Ye Bai had already received from Xi Qianxue the key item to raise his Mental Power from the Third Grade to the Fourth Grade!

But because the transition of Mental Power from Third Grade to Fourth Grade is not simple, it requires consuming Nianshen Grass, then controlling the Mental Power to break through a layer—a membrane that can only be faintly "seen" after completely digesting the medicinal power of the Nianshen Grass.

Ye Bai understood this as the bottleneck of a Mental Power breakthrough.

He had worked hard for this for eight days.

But until the very moment before the Ladder Tournament began, he was still just a little bit short!

And he had originally thought that it didn't matter if his Mental Power didn't enter the Fourth Grade for the time being.

With his luxurious configuration laid out here, taking first place was not much of a problem.

But time returns to when the Ladder Tournament had just begun.

"How could it be in the desert..."

"The Alien Race here is pitifully scarce..."

Ye Bai had realized something was wrong the very first moment he entered.

Especially after checking the rules of this Ladder Tournament!

"Shangguan Yijian, three hundred points.

Xuanyuan Mu's points are also higher than mine..."

"If I haven't guessed wrong, they have already found other geniuses in the same city, letting those people gift them points without loss to help boost their scores!"

"I cannot let this continue..."

Then Ye Bai made a round at top speed, and after hunting a few nearby Alien Race, he saw the changes in the points of Shangguan Yijian and Xuanyuan Mu.

He immediately decided that he could not follow the original plan.

He had to make his Mental Power enter the Fourth Grade!

Because Mental Power entering the Fourth Grade requires fulfilling a prerequisite, it would inevitably result in a metamorphosis, and the range covered by his "Divine Sense" would be greatly increased.

Only by coordinating this with his movement speed would he have hope of overtaking their points while Xuanyuan Mu and the other had people helping them boost their speed!

Therefore, after that, although he kept his Blood Mist in a state of coverage while hunting the Alien Race.

In reality, he not only did not activate his strongest combat power.

Even over eighty percent of his attention was placed inside his own mind, controlling his Mental Power to break through that last bit of the bottleneck...

"The game, officially begins...!"

Once the Mental Power in Ye Bai's mind completely finished its metamorphosis, he experimented briefly; his "Divine Sense" coverage range had already increased to one thousand meters.

A full ten-fold increase.

Only then was he officially prepared to activate his full combat power and boost his points!

【Name: Ye Bai】

【Qi and Blood: (Fourth Grade Peak)】

【Mental Power: (Fourth Grade Early Stage)】

【Martial Technique: Burning Blood Secret Art (Major Achievement), Nine Extremes Spear Technique (Great Success Level), Flowing Cloud Spear Technique (Great Success Level), Blood Sacrifice Art (Major Achievement)】

【Lifespan: 500 years, 2 months, 3 days, 16 hours】

And this was the content on Ye Bai's personal panel that had changed after this Mental Power breakthrough!

In eight days, although Ye Bai spent most of his time trying to make his Mental Power break through to the Fourth Grade and did not have time to do other things.

But such a major matter as exploiting a bug was of course impossible to forget.

Therefore, he had exchanged for another ninety-six thousand years of lifespan, and just now exchanged for another 500 years.

The Earth Grade Flowing Cloud Spear Technique had long since reached the Great Success Level!

At the same time, he had also raised the Burning Blood Secret Art and the Blood Sacrifice Art to the Major Achievement level beyond Great Success! The former's boost reached 700%, and the latter's boost reached 900%!

That is to say, the three side-effect Martial Techniques alone already provided Ye Bai with a 2200% all-around boost!

If it weren't for being sent to the desert at the start, and Ye Bai having no way to judge whether the desert was large or how long it would take him to get out.

He would even dare to say that, relying solely on his Qi and Blood strength which had clearly improved compared to eight days ago, he would not have let his points fall behind...

Over the past eight days, Ye Bai's harvest was actually not just these.

His estimate from not long ago was correct; it had indeed ushered in another update of the System Store!

After the last update, when he had cumulatively spent a total of one hundred and sixty thousand years of lifespan!

【1、Qi and Blood Value】

……

【5、Bone Tempering Progress】

【6、Yellow Grade Low-tier Battle Weapon (10 years of lifespan can be exchanged)】

This was the store detail updated at that time, with an extra option: ten years of lifespan to exchange for one Yellow Grade Low-tier Battle Weapon.

However, because Ye Bai calculated it and felt that ten years of lifespan was not worth it just to exchange for one Yellow Grade Low-tier Battle Weapon, he had not tried to exchange for it, and would only know in the future just how heaven-defying this newly listed product really was...

Back to the Ladder Tournament.

With a brand new panel, especially Ye Bai who was now Fourth Grade in both Mind and Martial Arts, he finally started to get serious after spreading out all his Mental Power!

"Boom!"

The Mental Power covering one thousand meters instantly allowed Ye Bai to find several Alien Race at the same time!

Then a terrifying scene appeared.

He simultaneously activated the Explosive Blood Combat Method, Burning Blood Secret Art, and Blood Sacrifice Art, all at the perfection level of proficiency.

While gaining a massive 22-fold amplification, the blood Qi emitted by the three secret techniques of the same series no longer merely formed a Blood Mist shrouding his entire body.

Instead, it formed a set of blood-colored battle armor that encased his entire person, with ferocious barbs emerging from his forehead, shoulders, elbows, and thighs!

Ye Bai had discovered this situation as early as when the three Martial Techniques reached perfection, and he called it the Blood Armor State.

The Blood Armor not only possessed high defensive power but could also effectively reduce the rate at which the blood within his body burned!

"Boom!" The Seven Star Heavenly Dipper Steps were then activated.

Ye Bai's figure appeared to remain in place, but a closer look would reveal that the one in the original spot was slowly "dissipating," while he himself had already appeared hundreds of meters away, above the head of a bewildered Alien Race!

Fast, so fast that it formed an afterimage resembling a clone!

This was only the beginning.

"Boom!" The Dragon Scale Spear in his hand swept back, instantly killing that Alien Race.

"Boom!" Then, the Execution of Life from the Nine Extremes Spear Technique was used, and the Dragon Scale Spear instantly spanned several hundred meters, locking onto an Alien Race in another location.

At the same time, Ye Bai's figure also arrived...

One after another...

Before this, Ye Bai had only used twenty percent of his energy to hunt the Alien Race, and his speed was already not considered slow.

Now that he was firing on all cylinders, and crucially, his "Divine Sense" coverage had reached a thousand meters, he was simply sweeping through them like a plague of locusts!

No, the radius of the area Ye Bai was sweeping was five hundred meters.

Even a plague of locusts doesn't sweep this fast...

Points, were skyrocketing!

And the first person to discover Ye Bai's points skyrocketing was...
