Extraordinary Driver

As the Yun Lan Sect disciples' tournament came to an end, everyone's enthusiasm gradually faded as well.

Yun Shenwei had easily defeated the strongest, Gu Ming, earning the praise and admiration of the other disciples.

There was naturally no need for him to participate in the remaining matches. After all, whether he competed or not, first place was his.

Under such circumstances, he could not be bothered to waste any more effort.

Yun Yun announced the results. Yun Shenwei had successfully taken first place and would receive many rewards. It was a satisfying conclusion for everyone.

This really surprised me. I never expected something that should have been troublesome to be resolved so easily. Sure enough, strength is what matters most in this world. If I were weak, then no matter how highly others thought of me, it would be useless. In the end, fists do the talking.

After the tournament, Yun Shenwei leisurely returned to his residence for once. Looking at the lively crowd outside, he could not help letting out a long sigh.

In truth, he had not even used his full strength in a competition like this. All he had done was safeguard his own interests.

Over the next few days, Nalan Yanran often came here to spend time with him. Perhaps she was simply more concerned about the one she loved.

The other disciples had their own opinions regarding Yun Shenwei and Nalan Yanran, but they also understood that Yun Shenwei was the Senior Apprentice Brother. His status was different, and his strength was outstanding.

Pill King Gu He kept his word and handed over the map, showing a degree of grace.

During this period of free time, Yun Shenwei opened the Multiverse Shop, preparing to carefully study how he should develop from here on.

The Extraordinary Romance System accompanied him primarily to issue missions, but it did not appear around the clock. Its missions were random as well. In other words, if no mission was triggered, the system might as well not exist.

My path of development must be clear. It absolutely cannot be too one-dimensional. If I only possess one kind of strength, I'll be in a very awkward position when I encounter enemies. It would be best to consider things from multiple angles and develop in every aspect.

Yun Shenwei had a clear plan for his development path. He had once played a game in the real world.

In that game, if a character wanted to maximize their power, they needed to master three abilities.

Burst damage, armor penetration, and control.

Burst damage, as the name implied, meant unleashing every skill one possessed in the shortest possible time.

Armor penetration allowed one to easily break through the defenses of enemies with powerful defensive abilities and deal damage they could not defend against.

Control allowed one to restrain highly mobile enemies through special methods and place them in abnormal states. Such abnormal states could include bleeding, stun, knock-up, freezing, petrification...

At present, the development path best suited to me should be extreme burst damage. But in this world, extreme burst damage does not necessarily make one the strongest. With my current strength, many people can still defeat me. So, if I want to defeat those stronger than me, I must master a second kind of power—armor penetration.

Yun Shenwei carefully recalled the games he had played and quickly came to a conclusion. It would be best to exchange for a weapon with powerful defense-piercing capabilities in the Multiverse Shop.

Thus, he remained in the Multiverse Shop, observing and searching carefully. He hoped to find a weapon or special skill compatible with his body, one that would allow him to inflict the greatest possible damage in the shortest time when facing an enemy. He could then become an agile, burst-oriented assassin.

Judging by the original Battle Through the Heavens, Xiao Yan could be considered a mage built for close combat. His physical strength was exceptionally powerful, he excelled at hand-to-hand combat, and he was also skilled in long-range spell attacks. The most eye-catching of all was the legendary Angry Buddha Lotus Flame.

After searching for a long time, Yun Shenwei finally found a Driver that suited him and was not too expensive.

"Extraordinary Driver: allows the user to adjust their attributes for a short period of time."

At first glance, this equipment's effect might not seem particularly impressive, since it had no outstanding highlights. But for someone who wished to develop in multiple aspects, seeing this equipment led to an entirely different outcome.

This is the one!

When Yun Shenwei saw the Extraordinary Driver, his heart blossomed with joy. Without another word, he used the Hate Points he had recently obtained to buy the equipment. Following the Multiverse Shop's instructions, he fitted the Driver around his waist.

Extraordinary Drive!

Yun Shenwei silently recited the activation command for the Extraordinary Driver. Very quickly, he felt his body change. In that instant, he clearly sensed that his control over his own body had improved further. This was the power of equipment.

Attack Form Enhancement.

Yun Shenwei first adjusted his attack stat. He soon discovered that his defensive ability had weakened. For a short period, all of his defense had been converted into attack. In other words, the power he could unleash at that moment was several times greater than usual.

The advantage was that Yun Shenwei could instantly kill his opponent. But there was danger as well. If he were attacked by an enemy during that time, then because his defensive stats had been converted into attack stats, his defenses would become incomparably fragile. Once he was hit, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Armor Penetration Enhancement!

After testing the first ability, Yun Shenwei activated the second for testing. He soon discovered that when this ability was activated, his own attack power did not increase. Instead, his speed decreased. The only benefit was that his defense increased, and his attacks gained a penetrating effect.

I should test it out first!

At that thought, Yun Shenwei felt that he could not merely experiment. He had to try it himself to learn just how powerful the Extraordinary Driver truly was.

In the Yun Lan Mountain Range, Yun Shenwei found a Wind Spirit Tiger. It was a Tier 2 Magical Beast, and even among Tier 2 Magical Beasts, it was considered exceptionally powerful.

After activating the armor-piercing state, Yun Shenwei launched a direct attack on the magical beast.

Among magical beasts, the Wind Spirit Tiger was not only powerful but also quite intelligent. When it realized that this enemy would be difficult to deal with, it did not choose to attack directly. Instead, it curled up its body and created a Wind Attribute shield in front of itself.
