When the 'golden waves' within the body washed over the body for the ninety-ninth time, the mutation recurred—
An aura never before seen began to emerge from the depths of Sun Fei's soul. Compared to the golden droplets of liquid that had merged into his body and the two golden wisps of mist, this aura was softer and more mellow, even carrying a very faint soul aura. It felt to Sun Fei Sun Fei an intimate lover clinging to him, like the entanglement of souls. For Sun Fei, this aura was unusually familiar, because he had encountered it not long ago.
"Those two golden wisps of energy that appeared at the beginning were clearly what entered my body after I defeated the guardians of [ Worldstone Keep ], [ Whirlwind Slash ] Talic and [ Leap Attack ] Korlic, on the Mount Arreat in the Normal Difficulty difficulty world. At the time, I thought these two wisps of energy were the essence of the two guardians' mastery of the two Barbarian skills, [ Whirlwind Slash ] and [ Leap Attack ]. Now I see that it's much more than that; it seems to be two seeds, foreshadowing today's body modification. No wonder there was such an illogical scene of challenging the guardians. The guardians of the Barbarian race actually had to fight their own bloodline descendants. So that's the real reason. This is a kind of indirect power inheritance. Only those who can defeat the descendants of the guardians are qualified to inherit the true divine skills of the Barbarian race."
Perhaps it was a stroke of genius, but Sun Fei's mind went blank as if struck by lightning, and he instantly understood many things.
"Besides the aura emanating from the two guardians, fifty drops of golden liquid came from the monsters' bodies, and this last, familiar scent came from... Angela!"
Sun Fei was utterly shocked. In fact, after understanding why Angela had fallen into a coma, a knot had quietly formed in Sun Fei's heart. Angela was hiding too many secrets that even this girl herself was unaware of. For example, she could be close to and command magical beasts; she possessed the purest soul, as the people of the Church said; and during yesterday's battle, she could release a noble and awe-inspiring aura through prayer to heal Sun Fei's injuries. This power had been hidden deep within Sun Fei's body all along, without even Sun Fei himself being aware of it. It was truly astonishing.
"This aura contained no malice whatsoever; in fact, it seemed to be working in conjunction with the two golden auras to elevate my physical strength to an even more incredible level."
Realizing this, Sun Fei did not resist at all, and opened his mind and body to accept the transformation of his body by these forces.
Time flowed by both slowly and swiftly, and everything around him seemed to stand still. Sun Fei could even feel the torrent of time rolling over him, ancient, profound, and far-reaching. Yet, he himself seemed to be outside the torrent of time and space, extraordinary and otherworldly, observing the vicissitudes of life and the passage of time with a detached and indifferent attitude, as if watching a game of chess.
After an unknown amount of time, the golden pillar of light that had appeared in the sky finally slowly disappeared.
Sun Fei's body returned to normal. He heard the roars of monsters all around him, and a dense aura of evil filled the air. This was the Blood Moor, outside the Rogue Encampment in the Nightmare Difficulty world of Diablo. Sun Fei was standing at the entrance of the Den of Evil. Everything that had just happened seemed like an uncanny dream.
Sun Fei stretched out his body, and a powerful feeling arose in that instant.
His King had a delusion that he could shatter the sky with a single punch, crack the earth with a single step, level mountains with a single breath, and pierce through the void with a single glance.
The world before him became incredibly clear, as if the entire scene had suddenly transformed from the screen of an old, secondhand black-and-white television into the most advanced plasma high-definition digital television. Sun Fei had a very strange feeling; the world was slowly opening its arms to him, and some mysteries that were previously impossible to perceive or see were gradually being revealed before his eyes, waiting for him to discover them.
In the lower left and right corners of his field of vision, two dark red buttons appeared: [New Character Status] and [Remaining Skill Points], which Sun Fei was extremely familiar with.
It's been upgraded.
" My Barbarian character is already level 99, reaching the highest level I remember from my previous life. If I continue leveling up, won't I reach level 100? I wonder what unexpected changes will occur after reaching level 100?"
As Sun Fei pondered this, a thought struck him, triggering the Barbarian's [Character Attributes] digital panel.
At first glance, they were stunned.
Character Name: Sun Fei; Character Level: Nightmare Difficulty 1; Strength: 30; Stamina: 20; Agility: 25; Energy: 10; Fire Resist: 0, Ice Resist: 0; Lightning Resist: 10; Poison Resist: 0...; Remaining Attribute Points: 5...
how so?
All the levels and attribute points I accumulated in the Normal Difficulty world have been completely wiped out?
How could such a thing happen?
Sun Fei was utterly shocked. If everything were wiped clean, wouldn't all his hard work of decades be wiped out overnight?
"But why do I clearly feel an incredibly powerful force within my body? It's far stronger than the power I had when I was a level 99 Barbarian?"
Sun Fei closed the [Character Attributes] interface, feeling the power within his body. He Summon the [ Bul-Kathos' Children ] dual sword set, and with a thought, his strongest sword technique, [ Whirlwind Slash ], unleashed a silvery sword energy storm that roared out, carving a huge crack tens of meters deep in the earth. The incomparably powerful aura continuously spread in all directions, and wisps of silver mist rose into the air.
"Only the level and data were reset to zero, but the power remained within me, even stronger, without the slightest weakening."
Upon discovering this, Sun Fei's worries vanished.
"If I'm not mistaken, it must have been after entering the Nightmare Difficulty world that the nature of my power changed, and I gained a higher quality and more powerful type of power. The power I used to unleash was amber-colored, like crystal glass, but the power I unleash now..." Sun Fei thought, and with a single punch of [ Heavenly Frost Fist One-Hit Kill ], a silver fist imprint half a meter square appeared, whistling through the air and disappearing into the distant sky.
This scene confirmed Sun Fei's guess: after the power attribute changed, the color of the power also changed.
The silvery-white power is definitely a higher level of power than the previous glassy-colored power; it's hundreds of times greater.
"Hahaha, this is truly an unexpected and enormous gain! Since the attribute of power has changed, the name of the fist technique must also change. From now on, [ Heavenly Frost Fist ] will be renamed..." Sun Fei was in high spirits and thought of an even more impressive name, laughing loudly, "Let's call it [ Undefeated Emperor Fist ]." This name more or less revealed His King's ambition. The so-called Royal Fist naturally represents the power of the emperor, implicitly suggesting a tripartite balance with Emperor Yassin's [ Dragon Fist ]. Syrian Sun Fei's fist technique is currently still being explored and perfected, so it naturally cannot compare with the [ Dragon Fist ], which is hailed as Mythical Class martial art. However, Sun Fei believed that one day, [ Undefeated Emperor Fist ] would become a true myth.
" Yassin's voice was unmatched; what a heroic spirit!"
Thinking of the peerless emperor Yassin of the Zenit Empire, Sun Fei couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration. Emperor Yassin was said to be able to fight anyone with his two fists. Just thinking about his unparalleled demeanor was enough to make one yearn for him and feel one's blood boil.
After calming his chaotic thoughts, Sun Fei opened the [Character Attributes] panel again. After a moment's thought, he added all five [Attribute Points] he had gained from the upgrade to the [Strength] option. Having experienced the trials of the Normal Difficulty world, Sun Fei had a new plan for the development of the seven character classes. Since he could now embody all seven classes, he didn't need to consider balanced development like in his previous computer games. Instead, he needed to highlight the unique characteristics, and the Barbarian's unique characteristic lay in his invincible strength.
Sun Fei discovered that after entering the Nightmare Difficulty world, the entire font of the [Character Attributes] panel turned silver-white.
On the other hand, Sun Fei temporarily kept the skill points he gained after leveling up and did not immediately add them to his skill tree.
Having done all this, Sun Fei's current level is Nightmare Difficulty Level 1 Barbarian.
He stepped into the [ Den of Evil ] and began completing the first quest in the Nightmare Difficulty world.
Although the monsters' strength had increased dramatically, Sun Fei had also undergone a complete transformation. After experiencing the trials of the Normal Difficulty world, he was extremely familiar with the details of the missions. He could even navigate the [ Den of Evil ] with his eyes closed. Therefore, it only took Sun Fei less than twenty minutes to slaughter all the demons in the cave, and 70 drops of golden liquid appeared in his body.
After leaving the cave, and after slaying 10 more monsters, Sun Fei leveled up when the golden liquid he had accumulated in his body reached 80 drops.
Under the influence of the golden pillar of light descending from the sky, the newly accumulated 80 drops of golden liquid transformed into a warm current like river water, merging into every cell of his body, limbs, bones, and internal organs. His strength increased dramatically once again. Sun Fei added the 5 newly acquired [attribute points] to [strength attribute], while temporarily retaining the 1 [skill point].
