282: Strength calculation

Looking at the light screen in front of him, Ye Su nodded in satisfaction.

The spirit net had too many functions.

So many that it surpassed common sense.

One could directly purchase a spirit net login device remotely.

The Mechanical Race could project it directly from an alternate dimension; even a Ruined World couldn't block such a projection.

Logically, with this ability, the Mechanical Race could easily explore the Ruined World thoroughly.

Presumably—the cost was too high!

Ye Su was right.

The cost was indeed very high; using alternate dimension projection to fully explore a world would incur staggering costs.

It was far less cost-effective than using an Ascender to explore.

"Oh, I see. My equipment configuration belongs to the high-end level."

Ye Su realized;

"In the Late Stage, I still need to consume Heaven's Will to truly evolve."

"As for the evolution of the equipment, is it to carry... Heaven's Will intensity?"

Ye Su began to come into contact with Heaven's Will intensity.

This was the final combat power conversion standard for Ascenders.

'Ascender Rank multiplied by Martial Arts power level is the Ascender's Heaven's Will intensity. Simply put, it's the amplification strength.'

'But my Ascension One has reached Transcendence; how should it be calculated?'

'Multiply by 1? Wouldn't that mean zero combat power added?'

Thinking of this.

Ye Su exerted a slight force in his hand.

All three stages of Ascension One Transcendence were directly added as bonuses.

Rank 5 Ape Fist served as the coefficient.

5!

10!

15!

Ascension One Heaven's Will intensity: 15!

Then add Ascension Level Two...

2 * 5 = 10!

That should be 25!

This intensity was almost peerless among Ascension Level Two.

But.

'The maximum I can exert is only 18!'

Ye Su thought to himself;

'What's the reason?'

'Could it be...'

The problem lay with the equipment.

A person's physical fitness is limited, but the Heaven's Will bonus is terrifying.

An Ascender's physical fitness simply cannot support such a high Heaven's Will bonus.

Therefore.

Ye Su was pushing his limits, and at the absolute maximum, he could only exert a Heaven's Will bonus of 18 intensity.

This kind of bonus was restricted by the physical body.

This was also why the three party a members couldn't see the true situation during the Great War of Blue Star.

Who would have thought.

A native of Ascension Level Two had actually touched the limit of physical body bonuses.

'Wait, there's also Primordial Unity Access—'

'My Primordial Unity Access is Rank 6, but it doesn't seem to be included in the bonus system?'

'Could it be that Martial Arts is the final calculation standard? A Secret Technique like Primordial Unity Access can't provide combat power?'

'But that's not right. After using Primordial Unity Access, I can clearly feel my combat power rising...'

'Damn, why is The Universe so complicated!'

Ye Su had a bit of a headache.

The Ascender system was like a chaotic, complex, yet powerful multiplicative system.

What multiplies what seemed especially chaotic.

The panel calculations and actual combat power didn't seem to match.

But looking at the panel calculations, they were extremely logical.

Seeing Ye Su frown.

Gong Li roughly understood his thoughts.

Having just switched to the spirit net login device, he had naturally looked up a lot of information, so Gong Li prepared to explain further;

"The intensity conversion for Ascenders is complex."

"For example, Rank 3 Martial Arts, Rank 3 Secret Techniques, or Rank 3 Secret Arts and the like."

"They don't directly represent the coefficient."

"The true coefficient must take into account your most proficient method of extreme burst."

"This also distinguishes the subsequent paths for Ascenders."

"For instance, someone might possess Rank 5 Martial Arts, but the damage they deal isn't as high as a Rank 4 Secret Technique."

"In that case, they should understand that they need to focus on Secret Techniques in the future, because Secret Techniques are suitable as their base coefficient."

Put this way, it was more or less understandable.

The talent of Ascension Level Two is Enfeoffment, so once many people understand their path, they will enfeoff the direction they need most.

If someone has a high Martial Arts coefficient, they enfeoff their Cultivation Technique.

If someone's body is too weak to support a burst, they enfeoff their equipment.

If someone basically doesn't go out and does research at home, they enfeoff their planet to gain bonuses.

The Enfeoffment of Ascension Level Two.

Is to select an extreme path for you.

To make your combat power skyrocket!

"Common knowledge in The Universe really pushes the combat power of Ascenders to the extreme!"

Ye Su lamented.

The various common knowledge, rules, and modes in The Universe today.

Were developed to ensure that Ascenders remain the orthodox path.

equipment, Cultivation Techniques... and so on, were all like this.

"That's why some Ascension Level Twos can be very, very strong."

Gong Li also lamented.

Over at the Martial Arts Hall.

The Cultivation Techniques for Ascension Level Two have already been pushed to Rank 20 at the highest!

That's a sky-high price.

But people still buy them...

It's just damn ridiculous.

The theoretical limit for Ascension Level Two, because of the Martial Arts Hall, has actually been pushed to 60 intensity!

(20 * (1 + 2))

Many Ascension Threes would be dumbfounded seeing that.

You, an Ascension Three, using some Rank 3 or 4 Cultivation Technique, huffing and puffing.

Calculating to only ten or twenty points of intensity.

What are you even playing at!

Now you know how important wealth is in The Universe!

There's a reason everyone is busy making money!

Common knowledge.

Is to make people understand the gap.

It's like the difference between a 15-yuan-a-day slum room and a clubhouse that costs millions a night.

The gap between them is indescribable.

Ye Su scratched his head.

Damn, I really can't compete with that.

Nothing for it then, I'll just have to use cheats!

'With Rank 5 Martial Arts, my Ascension Level Two maximum is 25 intensity.'

'Each Transcendence adds 10 points; with all Ascension Level Two Transcendences, that's 45 points.'

'If my final coefficient is calculated based on Primordial Unity Access—'

'Then my final intensity would reach 54 points!'

(6 * (1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 2))

'I should barely be able to fight against a Rank 20 Martial Art.'

'Of course, if I had a Rank 20 Martial Art—'

He didn't even dare to think about it.

If Ye Su's cheats were paired with a Rank 20 Martial Art, his final intensity would reach 180 points!

Ridiculous!

Shaking his head.

He cast the legendary Rank 20 Martial Art out of his mind.

Let's be practical.

Assuming the strongest person in the Ruined World has 60 intensity.

Then Ye Su needs to evolve his equipment first.

Otherwise, his body won't be able to handle it, and it won't matter how high the coefficient goes.

Then he needs to max out the Ascension Level Two Transcendence.

That way.

Combined with Primordial Unity Access, his intensity should be between 52 and 54.

Then—his survival capability would be maxed out!

"Gong Li, my name is Ye Su."

Ye Su said;

"How about we cooperate?"

"What do you mean?"

Gong Li became interested.

"You use your channels to help me find all the Materials for the equipment upgrade, and I'll help you raise your ranking."

"You?"

Hearing this, Gong Li's interest waned.

Not to be mean, buddy, but our setup is too low-tier.

Don't look at how confident you are now; once you encounter those with Space Cultivation Techniques or Destruction Cultivation Techniques.

You'll know what a real setup looks like.

Their Rank 17 or 18 Cultivation Techniques are incredibly powerful— "Don't jump to conclusions yet."

Ye Su said;

"Let's start small. For example, next we need to find heavenly vein stones."

"I only want the heavenly vein stones; everything else goes to you."
