Combat Power Exceeds Ten Thousand

"Do you believe me if I said I don't know either?"

Under Zong Zheng Nanmo's bewildered gaze, Jiang Hou said with a somewhat 'lost' expression, "After I 'awakened' a few days ago, I noticed that my physique gets stronger every day."

"At first, my arm strength was only about twice that of an ordinary person, then the next day I suddenly found that I had become much stronger, my strength doubled."

"And then when I woke up this morning, I felt like I was a little stronger again..."

Although Jiang Ruochan said yesterday that every awakened evolver is a genius, a child of fortune, and many secrets are insignificant in the face of the paths of inheritance.

But for Jiang Hou, it's better to keep some secrets to himself.

In this situation, the reason why his physique increases every day cannot be explained, so he can only play dumb, anyway, he is just a 'newbie' who has just awakened extraordinary power.

"Damn, I want that too." Zong Zheng Nanmo looked envious.

Yesterday, when he heard that Jiang Hou's level was only First Order intermediate stage, a small realm lower than him, he felt a little regretful.

Now regret my ass, only envy is appropriate.

After awakening the ability to control wind for a few days, he has not improved or changed his strength at all, except that he is a little familiar with the ability to control wind.

Including the incomplete cultivation 'Cultivation Method' that appeared inexplicably in his mind, he didn't have any reaction after cultivating for a long time, which is why he suspected that he had encountered a ghost and was hallucinating.

At this time, Jiang Ruochan thought for a while and slowly said, "Jiang Hou's situation is relatively rare."

"Our world does not have extraordinary energy similar to Spiritual Power Elemental Power, so there is no foundation for extraordinary evolution."

"Even if you awaken and become an extraordinary person, you cannot cultivate even if you obtain some inheritance from the Ancient Era. If you want to improve your strength, you must rely on corresponding resources."

"For example, Energy Crystal corresponding to the Deity Era, Demon Power Crystal that is only useful to the awakened of the Heavenly Demon Era, etc., these all come from the Ruins remains."

"And these are just low-level resources. When breaking through from Third Order to Fourth Order, you need corresponding inheritance items, and it is even more troublesome to improve after Fourth Order."

"However, compared to the inheritance of these two eras, the awakened of the Witch Mark Era are even more miserable. They need Nether Energy to improve their strength."

"This kind of thing can only be extracted from some forbidden areas deep in the Ruins, or by killing powerful Ancient Ferocious Creature."

"Therefore, normally speaking, after an extraordinary person awakens, without corresponding resources, their strength will not change, such as Zong Zheng Nanmo."

"Of course, nothing is absolute. There are also a few people who, after awakening, have not completely released the energy contained in the Pollution Source in their bodies, and their strength will increase rapidly for a period of time."

"In addition, there are some awakened abilities that are strange and can devour human flesh and blood to improve in the short term..."

As she spoke, Jiang Ruochan looked at Jiang Hou and pondered slightly, "Currently, I don't know whether your daily improvement in physique is temporary or continuous, and it needs to be observed."

"And there is no trace of any energy routes in your body, and you have not awakened any talents or abilities. It's a bit special, and I can't figure it out for a while."

Jiang Hou nodded, his expression remained unchanged.

But in his heart, he was already thinking about what reason to use to cover up the problem that his physique was improving every day.

"That's not right, President."

At this time, Zong Zheng Nanmo reacted: "Our world doesn't have any extraordinary energy. How do we recover our energy after it's exhausted in future battles with Pollution Monster?"

"Could it be like in a game, eating 'Elixir' while fighting, or holding an Energy Crystal to charge?"

Jiang Ruochan nodded: "That's how it was at first, but after more than 30 years of Ruins erosion, our world's air already contains weak energy."

"It's just that these energies are very thin, imperceptible, and can only be slowly absorbed by the body's instinct due to depletion."

"A Third Order Awakened, after exhausting their power, needs about a day to fully recover, and the higher the strength, the longer it takes."

"This... since the body can instinctively absorb energy from the air, why can't it cultivate?" Jiang Hou was a little strange.

Jiang Ruochan shook her head, "This question has been studied long ago. The reason is that these energies lack the corresponding power characteristics of each Era system."

"It's like we drink water, it can quench our thirst, but it has no nutrition and cannot help us grow."

"Another speculation that has been verified is that the laws of the ancient eras have lost their effectiveness in the current environment, including the Ruins."

"In the energy-rich Ruins, running Cultivation Methods can only restore consumption faster, but cannot improve cultivation even a little."

"This is also why so many extraordinary individuals, including the Heavenly Punishment Branch experts, risk danger to delve into the Ruins to explore relics."

"Alright, let's end this topic here. Saying too much, you won't be able to understand it all at once."

"Observe Jiang Hou's condition for a few more days. If the speed of physical strengthening weakens, it means that the unknown source of pollution energy in your body is about to be completely released."

"If the physical strength continues to grow rapidly..."

Speaking to this point, Jiang Ruochan paused, then waved her hand, telling the two who still wanted to ask questions to go aside.

However, she did say a bit too much today. If they hadn't met Jiang Ruochan, Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nanmo would have had no way to access this information.

The inheritance that each Awakened obtains is incomplete. They reach Third Order and have no way to advance, needing to delve into the Ruins to find corresponding inheritance resources to break through.

But Jiang Hou is different from them. He already has a complete path to improvement.

The Devouring Evolution passive talent allows the Giant Beast Body to continuously evolve as it devours the flesh and blood of powerful Ferocious Beasts, at least before the Gods and Demons, there is no need to find counterpart resources.

But apart from this, Jiang Hou is no different from other Awakened, after all, the Ferocious Beasts he eats can only be found there.

After slightly sorting out this information, Jiang Hou focused his attention on the smart watch.

Their initial purpose today was to ask Jiang Ruochan for permission to log into the Battle Strength Ranking and see what the data of other extraordinary individuals was different from theirs.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Hou clicked on the Battle Strength Ranking software, and immediately a screen similar to a leaderboard appeared.

[Wing City Heavenly Punishment Branch Reserve List, 18 people listed]

[1st place, Jiang Wanshan, Hybrid type, Comprehensive Level Third Order Peak, Physical Strength 67, Energy Value 1321, Battle Strength 18375]

[2nd place, Fu Hongyu, Energy Side, Comprehensive Level Third Order Peak, Physical Strength 6, Energy Value 1254, Battle Strength 13850...]

As Jiang Hou flipped through the list, Zong Zheng Nanmo over there exclaimed, "Damn, the first place has a battle strength of over eighteen thousand, I only have 490, is the gap that big?"

"Jiang Hou, I suddenly realized that we are both so weak."

"Indeed, a bit weak." Jiang Hou nodded, his gaze falling on his name.

[18th place, Jiang Hou, Physical Body Side, Comprehensive Level First Order Late Stage, Battle Strength 485...]

Although he didn't know what standard this battle strength was divided by, Jiang Hou was not surprised that he was in last place.

Among the eighteen reserves of the Wing City Heavenly Punishment Branch, all were Third Order except for him and Zong Zheng Nanmo.

And among the only two First Order, he had not yet awakened his ability, only his physical strength was several times higher than ordinary people.

I just don't know, how much combat power does he have when he transforms into a giant beast? Second update, there's more.
