The Power of Upgrade Points, the Wonderful Use of Ability Stealing!

Upon closer inspection, He Lingxuan truly discovered several massive footprints.

Looking at those giant footprints, which were at least three zhang wide, he knew for certain that a massive creature was nearby.

He Lingxuan immediately turned around and rushed toward the location of the footprints, unaware that if he had just continued walking for another ten minutes or so, he would have broken out of the forest and reached the road.

After rushing forward at top speed for a few minutes, He Lingxuan saw light ahead and knew he had arrived.

Swish! Swish!

The sound of trees being violently swept by the wind rang out as He Lingxuan burst out of the forest and into a chaotic, mountainous area.

Just as he arrived, he saw a Pterosaur flying toward the depths of the mountains, seemingly separated from its flock.

He Lingxuan's eyes lit up instantly. He raised his hand and fired a Ki Blast, which shot straight toward the Pterosaur.

Zap!

The golden Ki Blast tore through the air in the blink of an eye. With lightning speed, it struck the Pterosaur's wing, causing an explosion. Accompanied by billowing smoke, the Pterosaur was knocked out of the sky.

A notification sound echoed in He Lingxuan's mind.

"Congratulations to the host for killing a Tier 1 creature. Obtained 10 upgrade points. Low-level Stamina Talent is available for plunder. Do you wish to plunder?"

Huh? Is my luck exploding? Didn't it say the probability of plundering a talent was extremely low?

He Lingxuan thought with pleasant surprise, and without a second thought, he replied to the system with his mind.

"Plunder!"

"Received. Plundering Low-level Stamina Talent... Plunder successful. Does the host wish to fuse?"

"Ha, that was easier than expected. I thought there would be some complications... Fuse it!"

Once he finished speaking, He Lingxuan felt a force reshaping his body, significantly increasing his stamina and endurance.

After clenching his fists and feeling the abundant energy within him, He Lingxuan wore a satisfied smile. He moved his feet, turning into a blur, and reached the spot where the Pterosaur had fallen in just a few breaths.

Looking at the Pterosaur, half of its body nearly obliterated and still emitting a charred smell, He Lingxuan immediately lost interest in eating it.

Checking his talent and combat power on the system panel, He Lingxuan discovered that this talent could also be upgraded, and his combat power had increased by five points because of it.

[Infinite Upgrade System]

[Host: He Lingxuan]

[Age: 19]

[World: Dragon Ball World (???)]

[Combat Power: 105 (Upgradable)]

[Talent: Low-level Saiyan Bloodline (Upgradable), Low-level Stamina Talent (Upgradable)]

[Skill: Ki Blast (Upgradable)]

[Upgrade Points: 110]

[Items: None]

Looking at the "Upgradable" tag next to the Low-level Saiyan Bloodline, He Lingxuan felt an itch to try it out. What if he could evolve it into a Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline or an Ancient Saiyan bloodline? Wouldn't he just take off?

Action followed thought. He Lingxuan silently commanded the system.

"System, upgrade the Low-level Saiyan Bloodline!"

"Ding! Upgrading the Low-level Saiyan Bloodline requires 100 upgrade points. Confirm upgrade?"

"Confirm!"

"Received. Upgrading... Upgrade complete. Low-level Saiyan Bloodline has been promoted to Mid-level Saiyan Bloodline. Potential increased, combat power increased by 100 points!"

That's it? It's done? Why don't I feel anything?

Just as the thought crossed his mind, a change from the depths of his bloodline surged through his entire body. The pain, as if his body were being torn apart, forced a muffled groan from He Lingxuan.

"Damn it, nobody said it would hurt this much!"

As his body continuously tore and reconstructed itself, his physical strength naturally reached a new level, which directly boosted his combat power by another 100 points.

Looking at the 205 combat power on the panel, He Lingxuan still wore a satisfied smile. Improvement is always good; it's better than having no strength and being crushed by others—a lesson he learned all too well under the cruel social order of his previous life.

The sensation provided by this 205 combat power was completely different from his previous 105.

It was more than several times stronger; if he were his former self, he might not have been able to hurt his current self even with a full-force attack.

After all, even in Dragon Ball, the first major boss, Demon King Piccolo, only had a combat power of 210 before using the Dragon Balls to restore his youth.

And what does that level of combat power bring?

After splitting into two demon subordinates with combat powers of around 170, a casual strike could destroy a city, and they could withstand countless modern weapons without a scratch!

Although, due to the power creep in Dragon Ball, later combat levels reached the millions and hundreds of millions, one cannot deny that this level of power already far exceeds that of an ordinary human.

To put it in the context of his previous life on Earth, calling himself a "mini-superman" wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Carrying the satisfaction of his increased combat power, He Lingxuan began to search for more creatures to hunt.

With his strength increased, He Lingxuan felt the Qi within his body was much more abundant; he might even be able to fly if he spent some time exploring the technique.

Due to this boost in power, his vision and observational skills had also undergone a qualitative leap, allowing He Lingxuan to instantly spot a herd of rhinoceroses several kilometers away.

Or rather, an enlarged version of a rhinoceros herd; at a rough glance, there were at least several dozen of them, which made He Lingxuan feel incredibly excited.

After all, if he killed them all, that would be hundreds of upgrade points or more!

He might even be able to upgrade his bloodline once again. Thinking of this, He Lingxuan exerted force with his feet, causing the ground to instantly shatter and generate a terrifying reactive force that propelled his entire body forward.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After breaking the sound barrier in succession, He Lingxuan's figure arrived near the rhinoceros herd in just a few seconds.

Looking closely ahead, there were seventy to eighty adult giant rhinoceroses alone, and twenty to thirty young ones; although they were not yet adults, their size was still terrifyingly large due to their species.

Staring at the herd of giant rhinoceroses before him, He Lingxuan revealed a look of wild joy, as if he had found an easy leveling zone in an online game that no one else knew about—it was simply exhilarating!

"Sorry, rhinos. For the sake of upgrade points and to cope with the dangers of this world, I have no choice but to sacrifice you all!"

I have never claimed to be a good person. Being a good person is so tiring; isn't it better to be a bit more self-indulgent and free? It's just that in my past life, I had no freedom, trapped under heavy shackles...

Shaking his head to cast aside these distracting thoughts, He Lingxuan raised both hands as the Qi within his body began to surge...
