121: Extreme Devouring Spirit

It changed!

The panel looked different!

The moment the panel unfolded, Li An's vision blurred, and then he noticed a detail: the suffix levels for various abilities had disappeared, with only some technologies still having level suffixes.

At the same time, his strength classification this time had become a tiered ranking. Previously, while four major attribute values were listed, it wasn't as straightforward as this new classification.

Only then did Li An focus his gaze on the new ability that appeared after the ability reconstruction.

Because this ability was a brand new one, formed by the fusion of the Devourer and the Blood Demon Spirit, it needed to be named first before its information could be unlocked.

But looking at the '??? (To Be Named)' text, Li An fell into a brief period of distress. He had to admit that he wasn't good at naming things, yet this ability was born from the fusion of the Devourer and the Blood Demon Spirit, and it contained even more terrifying growth potential.

Finally, after much contemplation, Li An decided on the new ability's name.

"Ding! You have confirmed the naming."

"Hint: Core ability Extreme Devouring Spirit's detailed information is now available."

"Extreme Devouring Spirit"

"Core Effect One · Devour: In a non-combat state, ignore the target's form and forcefully plunder 100% of the devoured target's energy. In a combat state, for every enemy unit devoured +1, gain an additional permanent random attribute +10, and slightly increase physical body strength, with no upper limit."

"Core Effect Two · Spirit Transformation: Can use one's own blood or any blood to construct a Spirit Body. The Spirit Body initially has no combat power. The Spirit Body created by oneself possesses super adaptability and evolvability. A Spirit Body can exist independently for ten natural days. If a symbiotic relationship is formed with a creature, it will exist permanently. (Note: This effect requires the Contractor to explore on their own.)"

"Core Effect Three · Blood Source: After killing a Title-level unit, that unit's soul fragments will be collected and nurtured by the Blood Source. The Contractor can use the soul fragments in various ways, such as sacrifice, summoning, absorption, substitute Death, and more."

"Final Effect · Ultimate Potential: Your perception of the world has further improved, and your physique's adaptability and control have received a huge boost... Unimaginable, simply unbelievable. Li An stared at the descriptions of the Extreme Devouring Spirit's various effects. He was directly hard-controlled in place for several seconds, then he began to carefully examine each effect."

It wasn't until several minutes later, with everything etched into his memory, that Li An finally put the panel away. Despite this, his face was still filled with profound shock.

After a long while, Li An, having recovered, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. At this moment, he urgently wanted to have a big battle with someone to test his current strength.

Thinking of this, Li An immediately remembered the newly opened Paradise permissions after his level reached Lv.10.

Tower of Babel permission!

Team permission!

"Tower of Babel: This area is the Contractor's arena. Defeating a Contractor can improve your strength ranking. The top hundred Contractors on each floor will receive the Tower of Babel Top Hundred Reward."

"Hint: The Tower of Babel cannot be entered across floors. You need to improve your ranking. When your strength ranking enters the top hundred, you can directly choose to enter the upper tower."

"Team Permission: Contractors can freely choose to create or join a team. After joining a team, when the Contractor and teammates are in the same world, they will receive additional team effect bonuses."

As Li An's mind stirred, the information for the two newly opened permission functions immediately appeared before his eyes. Especially when Li An saw the Tower of Babel information, his eyes lit up even more.

It was truly 'someone sending a pillow when you're sleepy' – he just happened to want to find someone to fight a big battle and test himself, and this Tower of Babel was perfectly suited for it.

At this moment, a scene immediately appeared in Li An's mind: a tall tower standing in the void.

And this scene was exactly what he had seen when he first entered the Trading Area.

Back then, he only marveled at the tower's grandeur and terror. Now, he could directly enter it, and it was only then that Li An realized that this Tower of Babel was actually an arena where Contractors fought and battled each other!

Thinking of this, Li An immediately tried to choose to enter the Tower of Babel.

"Ding! Do you confirm entry into the Tower of Babel?"

"Note: Entry only supports the Contractor's main body. Victory in battle will increase your strength ranking. If you die in battle, your strength ranking will directly drop, and you will suffer temporary soul damage. Please choose carefully!!!"

The next second, a prompt popped up in front of Li An.

Scanning the text, what Li An didn't expect was that he had thought the arena battles would be real, life-or-Death struggles. But now it seemed that failure would only result in a drop in ranking and some temporary soul damage, but it wouldn't endanger his life.

With this, Li An immediately had some ideas.

Li An immediately looked up at the clock hanging in the living room. Nearly two days had passed since he returned to the Paradise. He could stay in the Paradise for seven natural days this time, which meant he still had at least five days to arrange freely.

In that case, he really wanted to go to the Tower of Babel and test his strength level.

No sooner said than done.

With a thought, Li An no longer hesitated and directly chose to enter the Tower of Babel.

In an instant, as the prompt sounded in Li An's ear, the spatial architecture around him suddenly changed. Everything in the safe house rapidly receded, and Li An also stood up at this moment. He only felt the surrounding space being instantly pulled by an invisible force, and when he recovered his senses, he suddenly found a doorway before him.

Subconsciously, Li An walked up to the doorway, then raised his hand, pushed the door open, and entered.

"Hint: You have entered Tower of Babel, First Floor!"

"The current area is the player ready room. If you wish to challenge for a ranking, you can directly select ranking match!"

As Li An entered the ready room, the Paradise's cold prompt immediately sounded in his ear.

However, Li An paid no attention to this. Following the Paradise's guidance, he directly selected ranking match through his mind.

"Ding! Detecting Contractor 940001997 as a first-time entrant. Current strength ranking 1,492,574,982. Matching beginning!"

Looking at the new information that popped up, Li An's expression showed no change. He was a newcomer entering for the first time, so a low ranking was quite normal.

It was just that with such a low ranking, he wondered how long it would take to climb up quickly.

The next moment, as Li An was pondering this question, the Paradise's prompt immediately sounded in his ear.

"Ding! A similarly ranked opponent has been matched for you. Battle is about to begin!!!"
