Beast Power

"...Upgrade Lava Body!"

[Host consumes one hundred gold coins to upgrade Lava Body. Confirm?]

"Confirm!"

Though his heart trembled, Ul gritted his teeth and made the decision.

In truth, before the draw, Ul had almost internally settled on upgrading "Evil Equilibrium" next, because that passive ability was simply too suited for this world.

But when the draw results came out, the cruel "reality" instantly shattered Ul's "internal decision"!

Because Ul's Magic Power aptitude was far too poor!

Whether it was the D-grade water attribute Magic Power aptitude or the B-grade rock (earth) attribute Magic Power aptitude, they could barely scrape by in the early stages, but as Ul's strength grew, this Magic Power aptitude would greatly hinder his cultivation speed.

Ul had originally planned to use the draw to strengthen his Magic Power aptitude, but what he hadn't expected was to pull these two things instead.

Damn it!

He had aspired to be a mage who could wipe out a crowd with a single spell.

Not a brute who goes around one-punching crybabies.

What use were these two talents to him?

In this magic world, no matter how strong his physical body became, could it possibly rival some bald guy's?

The scene when upgrading a skill wasn't much different from the draw. A golden light still flew out from the black hole and rapidly merged into Ul's body...

Then!

A searing pain instantly spread through Ul's entire body.

"Holy shit!!!"

The excruciating agony that thoroughly penetrated every cell in Ul's body nearly knocked him unconscious. In that instant, Ul even forgot to breathe from the pain, and cold sweat poured down like a waterfall...

Fortunately, this intense pain came and went quickly!

In just a few seconds.

The pain that had invaded every cell of Ul's body vanished, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

But the abnormally swelling sense of power continuously surging within his body reminded Ul that everything that had just occurred was real.

He froze for a moment!

Then Ul snapped back with lingering fear, angrily preparing to have a serious talk with a certain system.

But just then, with a "ding," a string of text suddenly appeared on the system panel, instantly catching Ul's attention.

[Congratulations! Host's passive ability has been upgraded!]

[Lava Body has successfully upgraded to Beast Power!]

[Beast Power: The host's body receives the blessing of the hero Magma Beast, gaining Beast Power...]

[The host's rock (earth) attribute Magic Power aptitude has been strengthened (A-grade).]

[The host gains a new Magic Power aptitude, fire (A-grade).]

[The host's armor growth potential has been strengthened, potential enhanced...]

Seeing the lines of descriptions appearing on the system panel, Ul could only say that his hundred gold coins were not spent in vain.

Especially when he felt the unusually surging power within his body, this thought became even more firm.

Ul had a feeling!

Perhaps the greatest gain from upgrading Lava Body this time was not the enhancement of the two Magic Power aptitudes, nor the armor strengthening, but this so-called "Beast Power"!

Emmmm!

That's right!

This was yet another ability that strengthened the physical body.

[Allow me to grieve]

With the upgrade of Lava Body, Ul's attribute panel underwent some subtle changes once again.

--

Invincible Passive System

Host: Wei Yi

Passive abilities: Void Stomach, Beast Power, Evil Equilibrium, Tough Body, Sword Heart

Health: 20

Magic Power: 161

Mental Power: 21

Magic Resistance: 1%

Armor: 2%

As Ul's strength grew, mere passive abilities rarely provided a direct boost to his power anymore.

After all, passive skills were different from active ones!

But although the numbers didn't seem to change much, Ul's actual strength was now worlds apart from just a few days ago... especially the terrifying increase in raw physical power.

That's right!

The boost from Beast Power didn't seem to be factored into "Health," and while Ul wasn't sure why, he didn't dwell on it too deeply.

Once the gold coins in Ul's hand were fully consumed, the system logged off directly!

As Ul's membership level increased, the amount he needed to top up grew larger and larger. Especially after this sudden windfall, the next time Ul wanted to draw, he would need a full ten million to continue.

Ul figured this goal was probably impossible to achieve in the short term!

That was one of the reasons he chose to upgrade Lava Body.

In fact, Ul had asked the system before what other benefits raising his membership level had besides drawing.

To that!

The system replied:

[It can improve the host's style.]

As for what kind of style!

The system coldly shot back two letters:

[AC!]

"..."

Taking another shower!

Ul returned to his room to begin meditating and cultivating until dawn...

Just as Ul expected, once the war between "Devil's Fang" and "Angel Wings" reached its conclusion, the armies of both nations on the border of Jiying Kingdom also withdrew.

At the end of the day, this clash between the two major guilds was mainly due to their personal grudges, and the likelihood of war between the two nations was slim.

Of course!

If either guild had achieved a decisive victory this time, then the war might have broken out directly.

But as things stood, it was clear neither guild had gained any advantage from this conflict!

With the war over, many merchants in Jiying Kingdom began to leave, clearly frightened by the earlier fighting.

And Ul took this opportunity to leave Jiying Kingdom and head back to the guild...
