Foundation and Potential!
[Ding! Congratulations to the player for breaking through to Four Star Dou Huang! Free Attribute +30, Meridians attribute +40!]
Although it is indeed very difficult to advance to the Dou Emperor level.
However, they killed one Tier 6 Thousand Beast King, four Tier 6 King of Beasts, and more than 10,000 Tier 5 elite magical beasts.
Even if he loses experience points, killing all the high-level guardian monsters at medium-sized resource points would be enough for Yang Shan to level up! Besides the level-up notification, Yang Shan was also waiting for a system notification.
As Yang Shan expected, about three seconds later, the system sent another message:
[Ding! Player, please note that you have unlocked the "Character Potential" section since you have reached the "Four Star Dou Huang" level. Please check the section's information for details.]
The "Character Potential" section has not yet been officially included in the "Player Encyclopedia".
This is a crucial turning point in a player's strength development after reaching the Dou Emperor level!
Yang Shan opened his interface.

The Weapon Rankings, the only Top Grade Spirit Artifact in the entire server with Golden Word Seal, and it's also "exclusively designated".
The Blood Roar Blade raised Yang Shan's attack panel from ""Golden; Rising" Character Imprint" to "Multicolored"! After admiring the panel, Yang Shan clicked on the newly added "Character Potential" in the panel list.
A detailed introduction immediately appeared before my eyes.
Character Potential: This data represents the current character's level potential.
Explanation and Explanation
Extreme Speed: Before reaching the indicated level, your experience gain rate is 300% of the standard rate. After reaching the indicated level, your experience gain rate is 50% of the standard rate.
Limit: Once you reach the level indicated, you will no longer be able to gain character experience points.
Channels for enhancing Character Potential include, but are not limited to: Spirit Crystal (produced from Spirit Stone Mine), related rare and precious materials, related special opportunities, NPC guidance, and dual cultivation.
Tian Yao Company has a very deep understanding of player upgrades.
In the early to mid-game, players rely solely on accumulating experience points. The Heart Demon Trial is set as a major level challenge, allowing players to gain positive feedback on their strength and skills through extensive combat.
Once you reach the Dou Emperor level, unless you're incredibly lucky like Hao Yunqi and can crush others with perfect gear, almost all players have a wealth of practical experience.
If subsequent upgrades continue with endless grinding, then positive player feedback will gradually decrease.
We need new methods to motivate players to improve!
"Character Potential" gives players a new goal.
Leveling up is no longer just about grinding monsters.
It's not about fighting for resources! Repeatedly grinding monsters can get tiring, but every time players fight for resources, the situation they encounter will be different.
This largely eliminates the fatigue caused by "repetition".
Imagine a player reaching the level of Four Star Dou Huang, exhausting their "Extremely Fast Potential," and leveling up becomes incredibly slow, causing immense suffering.
Then players began to change their strategy, abandoning monster-hunting and throwing themselves into the competition for resources.
By relying on strength, strategy, or even luck, one can successfully acquire resources and enhance their potential.
When you turn back to grinding monsters, your experience points skyrocket at a rate of 600%! (After the peak period, experience gain is only 50%, and after increasing potential, it's 300%, so the multiplier between the two is 6.) This kind of experience gives players a thrilling feeling.
It's no less intense than the passion of a couple who have been separated by work for two months and can only see each other once in a while! But this kind of experience isn't continuous.
After players reach their Extremely Fast Potential again, they will need to engage in a long period of strategic battles before finally getting a thrill.
Adults know that if you go to a foot massage parlor every day, your feet will peel and you'll become numb.
But if you've endured too much hardship in life, you might occasionally visit a foot massage parlor.
That would be the ultimate enjoyment! And Tianyao's upgrade strategy doesn't stop there.
As far as Yang Shan knew, after players reached the Dou Huang Peak, they would face a new development stage: Foundation!
This section will cover the attribute acquisition for each level up after becoming Dou Zong! The "Twelve Emperors" in their previous lives actually had the ability to break through to Dou Zong, but they didn't because they wanted to perfect their foundation in order to obtain the maximum attribute boost.
"Great God! A lot of players are coming over there!"
Mei Yangyang's reminder interrupted Yang Shan's train of thought.
Yang Shan closed the character panel and turned his head to look southwest.
There were roughly one hundred players, but Yang Shan didn't seem to see any players at the Dou Ling level.
Everyone Dou Wang!
Although the Black-Corner Region is now recognized as a hellish region where "not reaching the Dou Wang is tantamount to death".
However, gathering two hundred Dou Wang is indeed a very difficult thing.
Yang Shan spotted the leader of the players.
This is the Top Player recently gained fame due to the Global Announcement:
Blood Rampage!
Blood Rampage hadn't initially taken Mei Yangyang and her group seriously.
But when he saw Yang Shan, the arrogance on his face instantly vanished, and he chuckled, "What a coincidence, Great God Yang Shan, do you still remember me? I'm Blood Rampage!"
Mei Yangyang whispered from the side:
"Yang Shan Great God, these people are definitely here to steal the map, let's wipe them out!"
In the "Canaan Academy Disaster" storyline, Blood Rampage was mistaken by Fan Lao as the murderer of his son, and he vowed to kill Blood Rampage to avenge Fan Ling.
Blood Rampage lured Fan Lao to the ground and used a large number of Inner Courtyard players to block Fan Lao for him.
Therefore, Blood Rampage has a very poor reputation among the Jia Nan Academy players.
Mei Yangyang naturally had no liking for Blood Rampage either.
However, Blood Rampage is quite strong, consistently ranking within the top fifteen on the Combat Power Rankings, and often quietly climbing to tenth place.
What's even more outrageous is that Blood Rampage never acted in a high-profile manner at the Jia Nan Academy. It's said that he was held accountable by the Jia Nan Academy for his performance in the story at the time. He then joined the Enforcement Team and was exempted from punishment after making meritorious contributions. After that, he relied on the Enforcement Team to develop.
Yang Shan guessed that Blood Rampage had not only made arrangements in the Enforcement Hall, but also in the Black-Corner Region.
It's a two-way development that's why I was able to reach the position of worshipper in Thousand Speck City so quickly in this version.
If nothing unexpected happens, Blood Rampage must have significantly increased Ban Lao's favorability, and he even became an elder of Thousand Speck City before version 2.0 even started! Blood Rampage was extremely polite:
"I knew it! We couldn't find a single Tier 5 magical beast in the Bauhinia Forest. With the Great God Yang Shan around, we're bound to sweep through the Bauhinia Forest!"
Blood Rampage bowed to Yang Shan again. "Great God Yang Shan, we're just here for a casual stroll. If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now."
One doesn't hit a smiling face, Yang Shan nodded and smiled faintly at the Blood Rampage:
"Alright, take care."
Blood Rampage his hand:
"Let's go, brothers, let's get out of here!"
Seeing that Blood Rampage and his group had even activated their Dou Qi Transformation Wings away, Mei Yangyang muttered to herself:
"Tch, that Blood Rampage, seeing our True Great God, he'd be wishing he could grow more wings, afraid of being too slow to escape. What a coward!"
Yang Shan and Mei Yangyang naturally have different opinions.
Mei Yangyang only saw the surface.
The Bauhinia Forest is an unclaimed resource area, and Blood Rampage clearly received a related mission in Thousand Speck City to occupy this place.
The players following behind him were likely all elite members of the Wolf Pack Guild.
With over a hundred Dou Wang, plus Blood Rampage, a Peak Dou Wang, they already constitute a formidable force.
However, upon seeing Yang Shan, Blood Rampage showed no hostility and adopted a very humble attitude.
Without even asking, they had already determined that Yang Shan's destination was also the Bauhinia Forest, and then immediately led their men to retreat.
If Wang Tianhao had brought players from the Tian Hao Alliance, even knowing that Yang Shan power was ridiculously high, Wang Tianhao would definitely have fought first! He wouldn't lose face, that's how tough Wang Tianhao was! But Blood Rampage was completely different from Wang Tianhao. He was good at assessing the situation and making the right choice that suited his interests.
There's nothing shameful about yielding to the top player on the server.
The death penalty in Black-Corner Region is too severe. If we back down once, we can save all the players in the guild from losing three stars in level. This deal is definitely worth it.
Yang Shan admired Blood Rampage from the bottom of his heart.
Among the Three Sects and Twelve Emperors, the one with the most potential to be a ruthless and powerful figure is Blood Rampage.
In this version, Wolf Pack Guild, under the leadership of Blood Rampage, may officially become a top-tier guild.
"This Black-Corner Region is getting more and more fun!"
Although the more chaotic the situation, the less likely it is to come up with a sound development strategy, Yang Shan secretly harbored some expectations.
Just then, Zi Yan skipped over.
Judging from the smile on her little face, it's easy to tell that she must have scavenged a lot of good stuff in the Bauhinia Forest!
Yang Shan blinked. "How was it? Pretty good haul, huh?"
Zi Yan feigned composure:
"It's alright."
Yang Shan: "I'll call you again next time something like this happens!"
Zi Yan: "I knew you were a good friend!"
After chatting with Zi Yan for a couple of minutes, Yang Shan said:
"Alright, the matter is settled. I'll head back to Black Seal City first. You all wait here for the Bloodshed Alliance to send someone to take over."
Zhuang Youqian: "Okay! Thank you for your hard work, Great God Yang!"
Mei Yangyang pulled Yang Shan along:
"Great God Zhenjun, please take a picture with me. We've known each other for so long, and I don't even have a single photo with you."
Yang Shan: "Okay, then."
Yang Shan was quite sensible, standing shoulder to shoulder with Mei Yangyang, keeping a distance of two fists.
Yang Shan didn't want the atmosphere to become too romantic and for Mei Yangyang to have wild thoughts.
After all, he was the man Mei Yangyang couldn't have.
If something is unlikely to lead to anything, it's best not to give the other person too many illusions, so that you can still have contact in the future.
