Refreshing Talents

Over these years, relying on his comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth and his superior affinity for fire, Lynn's speed in both increasing his spiritual energy and accumulating magic and battle qi had been extremely fast.

The most crucial point was that, due to his exceptionally high realm, Lynn did not have to worry about encountering any bottlenecks before reaching the Saint-level.

Therefore, in just four short years, the strength of Lynn's main body underwent a heaven-shaking transformation, completely bidding farewell to the "battle-power-of-five" weakling he was at the start.

At this moment, if Lynn were to encounter a provocation similar to the one from Kasa at the beginning, he would no longer be so easy to talk to; instead, he would slap him to teach him a lesson, then turn around and say.

"Even among geniuses, there is a gap!"

Night fell. Under the dim lamplight, Lynn, lying on his bed, appeared to be in a "deep sleep" to any outsider.

In reality, Lynn was incredibly clear-headed, simply focusing all his attention within the Origin Bead.

According to the classification within the Origin Bead, the evolution of life levels is divided into two types. The first is the evolution of the life level of Lynn's main body, and the second is the evolution of the life level of Lynn's clones.

The evolution of Lynn's main body's life level acts directly upon the Origin Bead, not only accelerating the recovery speed of the Origin Bead but, most importantly, increasing the upper limit of the number of Talent Clones Lynn can create.

However, the main body's talents cannot be upgraded like those of the clones. If he wishes to upgrade them, he must choose to assimilate a clone, paying the price of permanently losing that clone to absorb its talents and cultivation.

The second type, the evolution of a Talent Clone's life level, does not affect the Origin Bead; it only refreshes the clone's talents, granting them a higher potential.

[Talent Clone: Xiao Yan]

[Life Level: Saint-level]

[Race: Ordinary Human (Coiling Dragon World)]

[Talent: Fallen Genius (White Talent) (Refreshable)]

Looking at the "Refreshable" text displayed on the panel, Lynn clicked confirm without hesitation.

"Refresh!"

The golden characters in the air began to flicker.

[Clone talent refresh initiated.]

[Please select one talent from the following to replace the White Talent: Fallen Genius]

[Pseudo-Soul Mutator: White Talent]

[Thunder Dragon Bloodline: White Talent]

[You Have the Path to Death: White Talent]

[Protect Everyone Behind Me: Silver Talent]

[Do Not Bully the Young and Poor: Silver Talent]

[Pseudo-Soul Mutator: Silver Talent]

There were many talents refreshed, numbering in the hundreds, among which were even quite a few White Talents Lynn had already seen.

"It seems that above White Talent is Silver Talent."

"Huh?"

"Why are there two Pseudo-Soul Mutators, one White and one Silver? Could there be a difference?" A flash of curiosity crossed Lynn's eyes.

[Pseudo-Soul Mutator: White Talent. After equipping this talent, you will immediately enter a state of soul mutation, but success is not guaranteed.

Talent Evaluation: Young man, want to gamble with your life? The kind without any guarantees!]

[Pseudo-Soul Mutator: Silver Talent. After equipping this talent, you will immediately enter a state of soul mutation, and the probability of a dual-element soul mutation succeeding increases to fifty percent, while three or more elements increase to one percent.

Talent Evaluation: Gamblers are loyal to the end; just do it!]

"Compared to the White Talent, the Silver Talent increases the success rate. Following this logic, among higher-level talents, there might still be Pseudo-Soul Mutator, just with even higher success rates!" Lynn thought to himself.

At this moment, Lynn couldn't help but think of the way Lin Lei transcended the Coiling Dragon World.

"If there were an even higher-level talent that could guarantee a four-element soul mutation, wouldn't I be able to transcend directly?"

Lynn fell into a fantasy, but he quickly regained his senses and continued to focus on selecting a talent.

"The Silver Talent Pseudo-Soul Mutator is indeed good, but the success rate is only fifty percent, and it's only for a dual-element mutation, which has the lowest ceiling. There's no need for me to take that risk."

"Let's look at the others."

[Protect Everyone Behind Me: Silver Talent. Enhances wind-style law talent. When fleeing, if wind-style laws are used, you gain an additional speed bonus, increasing it by at least double.]

[Talent Evaluation: A total wipeout is impossible; the one who runs the fastest will definitely be me.]

[Do Not Bully the Young and Poor: Silver Talent. This is a special talent.

Before equipping this talent, you must complete a prerequisite task: find someone who once bullied you and shout, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the young and poor!"

After the talent is activated, fire-style law talent is greatly enhanced, and combat strength is increased by an additional double.]

[Talent Evaluation: How can a youth not be hot-blooded?]

[Heaven-Swallowing Beast Bloodline: Silver Talent. Become a divine beast, the Heaven-Swallowing Beast. Dark-style and destruction-style law talents are increased, and a divine innate ability is awakened.]

Talent Evaluation: Ordinary divine beast bloodline, unremarkable among the god-level, the only advantage perhaps being the decent bonus from dual-element affinity.]

[Darkness Law Affinity: Silver talent, become a god in 10 years, a median god in a century, and a highgod in a millennium.

Talent Evaluation: Only comprehending, not fusing; at most, one can dominate the material plane.]

Excluding the white talents, there were still quite a few silver talents remaining, as many as several dozen.

Lynn looked through them one by one, and after discarding a few that were either extreme or useless, only four remained that he was satisfied with.

After pondering for a long time and thinking of his avatar's name, Lynn let out a long sigh.

"Perhaps this is the best arrangement."

"I can only continue to suffer through my avatar!"

...Several minutes later, above the branch of the Church of Light in Starfire City.

A figure appeared.

Xiao Yan appeared high in the sky with an indifferent expression.

"Church of Light, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, Do Not Bully the Young and Poor!"

"Four years ago you hunted me down; today, I, Xiao Yan, officially declare war on you here."

As his voice fell, surging crimson battle qi erupted from Xiao Yan's body, instantly condensing into a massive palm a hundred meters high, leveling the Starfire City branch of the Church of Light to the ground with a single strike.

[Prerequisite mission complete, silver talent "Do Not Bully the Young and Poor" has been bound]

[Talent refresh complete]

[Do you wish to retain the effects of the white talent "Fallen Genius"?]

After an avatar's talent is refreshed, the previous talent does not disappear completely; it leaves behind certain effects.

For example, if Lynn had initially chosen the white talent [Wind Affinity], after [Wind Affinity] was refreshed, the avatar would not completely lose its talent for the Laws of Wind; it would at most become weaker.

For instance, what was originally a super-grade Wind Affinity might only remain at a high grade or even lower after being refreshed.

However... this is the case for normal talents.

For a talent like [Fallen Genius], which now only had negative effects, Lynn naturally would not choose to retain it.

"Do not retain, refresh it immediately."

"How unlucky!"

"I, Lynn, have always relied on my own hard work to break through to the Saint Domain; this lousy talent never really did anything!"

[Fallen Genius]: Speak for me, speak for me!
