Yuan Chen's Excitement

In the past, Yuan Chen had encountered many powerful individuals.

Among the three, if we only consider those who completed reconnaissance, then Jax is definitely the strongest.

The reason for this is that there are many heroes who are suspected to be stronger than Jax, such as Nila, King Yuen who activates the Vidalion Loom, and Styraatu at full power, and so on.

The problem is that, due to the unique nature of Runeterra, where only those who possess "extraordinary" higher powers can break through existing constraints, most powerful individuals whose strength surpasses the limitations of mortals are mentally unstable.

In this situation, Yuan Chen's Scout Skill also depended on the individual he was dealing with.

For those who are emotionally stable, able to communicate normally, and whose social status is not significantly different, Yuan Chen will offer kind reminders and engage in discussions.

For example, Lupe, Qiyana.

Yuan Chen would not take risks against those who were stronger than him, had special identities, or were mentally unstable, even if they seemed friendly to him.

Such as Nila, Styraatu, King Yuen.

And those weaker than themselves...

Aside from his initial encounter with the Meat-toothed Beast to prove his identity as a prophet, Yuan Chen rarely took the initiative to prove it.

There's no need for that; we can't beat ourselves anyway.

While the cost of Scout Skill is minimal, it's not negligible. If Yuan Chen were to use it on every single person he encountered, he would have been completely drained by the time he first entered Placidium.

Of course, characters like Vi, Caitlyn, Camille are exceptions.

Influenced by his past life, Yuan Chen still harbored some curiosity about these heroes.

And now, looking at Jax's "Warrior" Class Level of eight and his Epic Class War God " level of four...

Yuan Chen knew that this would be the strongest opponent he was about to fight.

Of course, this is not absolute... because before this, the Flame Drake that Yuan Chen killed was also an eighth-level epic beast.

However, this racial ranking system is different from the Class Level.

Simply put, epic beasts like the Elemental Drake are categorized into ten levels based on age and strength. However, Epic Class like the "War God," which are listed separately, only have six levels.

Although Yuan Chen didn't know exactly how different this level four War God was from ordinary professions, he was certain that it could absolutely crush all ordinary professionals below level eight!

Even those at level nine or above can only barely put up a fight!

Thinking this, Yuan Chen took a deep breath and began to browse the most important "traits" section.

Then, Yuan Chen was stunned by that special attribute that sounded like reciting a menu.

Trait: Immortal (Legendary):

Acquired traits, derived from the special abilities of the Light of Icathia, grant the holder immortality. However, upon losing the Light of Icathia, the holder will also lose these traits of immortality.

Limit Break (Legend):

Through acquired traits, Jax broke through his own limits by comprehending the Eternal Flame over a long period of time, achieving a transcendent state in both body and spirit, and greatly improving his basic attributes.

War God (Epic) (To be unlocked):

Her acquired talent allows her to break through the limits of martial arts as a warrior, mastering extraordinary power through her own comprehension—this breakthrough originates from the Light of Icathia, which remains sealed while the Light of Icathia is not unleashed.

Master Yi (Epic):

Innate talent: Possesses an exceptionally keen sense for all weapons, enabling them to master and become proficient in the use of all weapons in a short period of time, with a moderate increase in strength attribute.

Aikason Bloodline (Epic):

Jax was not a pure human, but a special demi-human race called "Aikason". However, with the outbreak of the Void War, only Jax survived among the Aikason, so he was elevated to a "trait".

The holder's natural lifespan will be enhanced by 5 to 15 times based on their bloodline level, while the upper limit of various abilities will be moderately increased.

Battlefield Sense (Excellent):

Acquired traits: As a centurion of the Kohari Legion, the most elite army in the Kingdom of Icathia, Jax possesses an extremely keen sense of war, always able to seize fleeting opportunities and accomplish impossible comebacks.

Powerful and heavy (outstanding):

Through his acquired talents and relentless training, he gained strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, breaking through the limits of his own race and unlocking even greater potential.

Galloping Across the Battlefield (Excellence):

Its acquired trait, honed through constant battles in the desert, makes it incredibly fast, even compared to the Sand Bird, which appears slow and clumsy.

Learned and knowledgeable, martial arts (outstanding):

His innate talent, honed through training under numerous martial arts masters from the Ancient Shuriman Empire and Icathia, allows him to quickly grasp various aspects of martial arts knowledge.

Thickened bones (excellent): congenital...

Looking at the seemingly countless abilities and traits, some high and some low, even Yuan Chen, who considered himself well-informed, couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

To be honest, Yuan Chen once thought he was strong enough in terms of special abilities.

Even the most precious legendary traits possess both Positive and Negative Temperance originating from the demon of "Temperance".

The epic-level traits are even more unique, described as either Demon's Curse or the Oshirresh Mark.

As for the other Monolith's Protection, Dragon Blood Enhancement, Wilderness Blessing, needless to say...

When used properly, it can be even more powerful than epic traits.

While the application of Positive and Negative Temperance is currently somewhat limited, once one discovers its root in the Nascent Demon, it possesses limitless potential...

But that's only in the future.

Now, looking at Jax's various abilities, feeling Jax seemingly ordinary yet terrifying power—capable of easily slaughtering cities and destroying nations under the blessing of the Light of Icathia...

Thinking about it, Yuan Chen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly, and a fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

When Yuan Chen was in Piltover, he always felt restricted.

This feeling stemmed partly from his initial inability to convince himself to resolve everything through violence, and partly from the fact that Piltover's top-tier combat strength was truly limited.

Aside from reclusive figures like Heimerdinger or Styraatu who are perpetually relegated to the background, the strongest on the surface...

Even if Camille and Jayce went together, Yuan Chen was worried that a momentary lapse in judgment would result in the opponent's gruesome death on the spot, thus triggering a massive war.

And now...

The blades flew out of the scabbard and arranged in a ring behind Yuan Chen like lotus flowers.

Looking at Jax, Yuan Chen didn't hide his thoughts, but said bluntly:

"Let me see what real 'martial arts' are all about!"
