Sixth-grade bloodline, Intermediate Mental Weapon Talent!
First, just as he had previously surmised from the results of his 100-pull.
All the white N cards and green R cards he drew yielded either cultivation-level experience cards or comprehension-type experience cards.
Other types of rewards only appeared in blue SR cards and above.
Aside from the two types of experience cards, Li Jing had also obtained some other rewards from his previous round of draws.
The blue SR cards had yielded a Second-Order Force Battle Suit, a B9 Grade Laser Gun, a second-order blade technique, and a Second-Order Origin Force Weapon.
The purple SSR cards had yielded an Intermediate Comprehension Card, an Intermediate Aptitude Card, and Intermediate Mental Weapon Talent.
The golden UR card was naturally the Fire Domain Direct Access Card he had known about beforehand.
The Second-Order Force Battle Suit was suited to the defensive needs of Star Level warriors and Spirit Readers.
Both its upper limit of protection and the impact force it could reduce far surpassed the Black God Set Li Jing currently used, which still fell into the category of a First-Order Force Battle Suit.
With a thought, Li Jing forced the Black God Set out of his body, then placed a mental imprint on his newly acquired Second-Order Force Battle Suit and put it on.
With the Second-Order Force Battle Suit and the Moyun Vine Armor, he immediately felt much safer!
The Second-Order Origin Force Weapon was a spear, also suited to combat for Star Level warriors. Unfortunately, it was not a War Blade; otherwise, it could have replaced the first-order War Blade, Tiger Thorn, that Li Jing currently used.
With his Junior Blade Technique Talent, Li Jing had a natural advantage when it came to cultivating and using blade techniques. Naturally, he would not neglect the root to pursue the branches, abandoning his blade for a spear just for a Second-Order Origin Force Weapon.
The newly drawn second-order Origin Force spear could only end up being sold for Black Dragon Coins, to be used to buy a blade-type Origin Force weapon or turned directly into resources for card draws.
The B9 Grade Laser Gun was a devastating weapon. The lasers it fired could kill ninth-stage Star Level warriors and Spirit Readers. It could fire three times in quick succession before entering a recharging state.
For Li Jing, who was only Planetary Level at present, it was a trump card of no small value.
Even if he no longer needed it later, he could sell it to recover some funds.
As a high-tech weapon that placed few demands on its user's strength, a B9 Grade Laser Gun cost far more than a ninth-stage Star Level slave.
As for the second-order blade technique secret art, Li Jing honestly did not think much of it.
The second-order blade technique secret art was considerably stronger than Arc Light, the first-order blade technique he had previously drawn from the Apprentice Level card pool and cultivated to perfection.
But an Intelligent Life with the same database as Babata had now appeared in the card pool, and it contained nearly all the Inheritance Secret Techniques of the Yunmo Star Lineage.
Among all the secret techniques of a powerful figure who had barely reached Marquis Immortal in life, there were bound to be plenty of high-level blade technique secret arts.
Even though Hu Yanbo was a Spirit Reader, he had surely collected no small number of warrior manuals and secret arts. There had to be fifth-order blade techniques corresponding to World Lord Level, though Li Jing did not know whether there was one with the fire attribute he needed.
But even if there were no fifth-order fire-attribute blade techniques, there would surely be fourth-order ones.
In comparison, the second-order blade technique he had just drawn really was rather underwhelming.
The Intermediate Comprehension Card and Intermediate Aptitude Card from the purple SSR cards filled Li Jing with delight.
The Comprehension Cards and Aptitude Cards from the Apprentice Level card pool had already given Li Jing a taste of their benefits.
They had not only raised his bloodline from the inferior ninth grade of an Earthling to the seventh grade, which meant reaching Apprentice Level upon adulthood.
They had also turned him from an utterly ordinary person into a star-domain-level genius guaranteed to reach World Lord.
Now, just how much further could the Comprehension Card and Aptitude Card from purple SSR cards-with a one-in-a-thousand chance of being drawn from the Planetary Level card pool, whose effects were bound to be better-raise him?
It was something to look forward to!
He used the Aptitude Card first, and the familiar sensation of restructuring and optimization at the cellular level swept over him once more.
For Li Jing, who had previously endured the tempering of his will and that hellish experience of feeling as though even his soul were being torn apart and ground to pieces, this pain that should have pierced to the bone was no worse than a breeze brushing his face.
Li Jing's heart was perfectly calm at that moment. Only his body spasmed and trembled involuntarily from the pain, as though he were being cut by a thousand knives.
After an unknown amount of time, the pain gradually faded. Li Jing used his mental power to strip away the filth formed by the mixture of sweat, blood, and impurities his body had produced, and felt better than ever before.
With a thought, he tried absorbing a little cosmic energy and found that his speed had increased severalfold.
This was not a simple improvement within the same level, but a rise by an order of magnitude.
Li Jing surmised that his bloodline had broken through the limit supported by the Aptitude Cards drawn from the Apprentice Level card pool and reached the sixth grade, which meant reaching Planetary Level upon adulthood. Only then could the improvement be so dramatic.
And the increased speed of absorbing cosmic energy was only one of the additional effects of improving his bloodline.
At its core, improving one's bloodline was an optimization of one's genes, making one increasingly compatible with the Universe Origin. This in turn made it easier to detect the unseen fluctuations of the Universe Origin Law and gain a better understanding of domains and laws.
Because Earth had been modified by Sitting Mountain Guest, life born there possessed great talent in matters of the soul, and its comprehension was first-rate.
Yet Earthlings found it difficult even to reach Star Level, and comprehending laws was harder still.
That was because their bloodline was too low. Not only was their efficiency at absorbing energy extremely poor, but even comprehending laws was like having their eyes covered by a black cloth.
If they could not even see, how could they comprehend?
The marvelous effect of the Planetary Level Aptitude Card made Li Jing look forward to the Comprehension Card even more.
Without further hesitation, he used it immediately!
He felt a cool current sweep through his sea of consciousness in an instant.
After it passed, the whole world became much clearer to his perception, like a severely nearsighted person putting on glasses.
His brain was like a computer that had undergone a deep junk cleanup, its processing and response speeds much faster.
The hazy sensation, as though everything were shrouded in a layer of fog, dissipated somewhat.
By Li Jing's estimate, although his comprehension was still at star-domain level,
it was not far from the star-region level of someone like Feng Lun, whom Luo Feng had encountered in the Genius Battle.
With two more Intermediate Comprehension Cards, he would certainly reach star-region level!
By then, Li Jing would be a genius capable of gaining an initial understanding of an Origin Law at Star Level through his own efforts alone.
If nothing unexpected happened, he could hope to become an Immortal!
Intermediate Mental Weapon Talent was similar to the Junior Blade Technique Talent and Junior Movement Technique Talent Li Jing had previously obtained from the Apprentice Level card pool, but its effects were considerably better.
It would make it easier for Li Jing to learn to control mental weapons, increase their power and make their use more profound, and provide a special boost to comprehending and creating corresponding mental weapon secret arts.
It was another talent that would remain useful well into the late stages.
In some respects, it was even more important than the Aptitude Card and Comprehension Card he had just used!
Even the only limited UR drawn from the card pool, the Fire Domain Direct Access Card,
was far inferior to Intermediate Mental Weapon Talent in terms of long-term value.
That was the difference between giving someone a fish and teaching them to fish.
Without hesitation, Li Jing used it immediately!
