Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 6

Ch 6: Rank?

Thinking of this, Qin Jin-Nian suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at the stat items.

【Vitality: 4.23】

【Mental Strength: 6.15】

And behind the ‘Vitality’ and ‘Mental Strength’ items… there was a slightly flashing plus sign.

Proving that they can be upgraded.

“…Upgrade Mental Strength first.”

In yesterday’s great battle, he directly fell into a coma for a night, and even the Shadow Devour feedback didn’t wake him up, which shows how serious the consequences were.

But in fact, he used shadow power for no more than five minutes in total.

This is obviously because his Mental Strength is too weak.

Now that he can add stat points, of course he has to add Mental Strength first!

Thinking of this, Qin Jin-Nian touched the “+” sign behind ‘Mental Strength’ with his mind.

Instantly, a line of text appeared…

【You used ‘1 Stat Point’, Mental Strength +1.】

Mental Strength went from 6 to 7.

The next moment, an extremely cool feeling rushed into Qin Jin-Nian’s brain, making his mind instantly invigorated, and an unprecedented sense of comfort and clarity emerged in his brain.

How to describe this feeling?

It’s like having a good night’s sleep, naturally waking up, and feeling a cool mountain breeze blowing on your face…

Ten times stronger!

Extremely comfortable.

A series of thoughts arose in his mind for a time, as if his brain had undergone a development, and many memories that had been forgotten vaguely emerged.

This feeling…

Extremely wonderful.

Qin Jin-Nian’s eyes lit up instantly.

Vitality and Mental Strength are quantifiable indicators in this world.

Vitality does not only refer to ‘Power’. It is a comprehensive index including a series of ‘physical attributes’ such as strength, endurance, speed, nerve reaction, and degree of strength…etc.

And Mental Strength does not refer to ‘IQ’ either. It is a comprehensive index of a person’s energy, memory, reaction speed, comprehension ability, willpower…and a series of ‘mental attributes’.

Now there are machines that can measure it very accurately.

Similarly, there are also means to improve it… After all, this world has the extraordinary energy of ‘Spiritual Energy’.

And all the coursework from junior high school is actually to improve these two indexes.

Because only when both indicators reach 10 can one be considered to have reached the bottom line for cultivating ‘Super Martial Arts’…

There are methods to improve both Vitality and Mental Strength.

For Vitality, there is a special ‘body refining’ method.

And the improvement of Mental Strength is through ‘Meditation’…

The Original Body’s weakness can be seen.

Vitality of 4 points and Mental Strength of 6 points… Even in junior high school, very few people are this weak.

Not to mention junior high school… Even in elementary school, very few people are this weak.

Almost equivalent to an eight or nine-year-old child.

All of this is because the Original Body’s mother experienced a Night of the Blood Moon while pregnant with him, and was frightened, which affected the fetus, causing the Original Body to be born prematurely.

What’s even more tragic is that his mother was contaminated by Abyssal Aura during this process, which was also transmitted to his body through the mother.

Adults who are contaminated by Abyssal Aura have to be seriously ill for several days. Not to mention a baby less than a month old.

This led to the Original Body being congenitally deficient, and being weak and sickly since childhood. Before the age of six, he was almost slightly ill every three days and seriously ill every five days, and the situation only slightly improved after the age of six.

But his path of cultivation was basically cut off.

Congenital deficiency plus the damage of the Abyssal Aura that penetrated into his bones made him pant for breath with the slightest movement. Others refine their bodies for half an hour or an hour at a time.

He could tire himself out just by getting into position…

And sitting in meditation was even more uncomfortable. Insufficient blood and energy made it impossible for him to sit or stand for long periods of time. He would have palpitations at every turn, so how could he meditate in peace?

So after so many years, although he has insisted on meditating every day since junior high school, his Mental Strength is only a little over 6 points…

It can be said that he is a complete waste.

It was also because of his lack of talent that the Original Body had a dull and taciturn personality, had no friends at school, and was a little transparent.

Qin Jin-Nian has been living a miserable life for the past three months… It’s not that anyone at school is bullying him.

But this kind of life without hope, coupled with the unease and fear of being new here… really made him fed up.

Fortunately, he finally sees the dawn now.

Then naturally there is nothing to say.

“Add points! First get the Mental Strength to 50!”

Immediately, Qin Jin-Nian started a frantic point-adding mode.

◈◈◈

【You used ‘1 Stat Point’, Mental Strength +1.】

【You used ‘1 Stat Point’, Mental Strength +1.】

【You used ‘1 Stat Point’, Mental Strength +1.】

◈◈◈

With three stat points in a row, Mental Strength increased to 10.

The feeling of comfort surging from his body made Qin Jin-Nian’s spirit greatly lifted, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

However, when he continued to work harder, the plus sign behind the Mental Strength that had reached 10… disappeared.

This made Qin Jin-Nian stunned.

“What’s the situation?”

He quickly looked at the panel.

Sure enough, a line of text appeared.

【Your Mental Strength has reached 10, reaching the limit of the current ‘Rank’. Please break through the ‘Rank’ before adding more points.】

“Rank?”

Qin Jin-Nian was stunned, and then searched on the panel.

Sure enough, he soon found a line of text on the panel…

【Qin Jin-Nian】

【Vitality: 4.23】

【Mental Strength: 10.00】

【Has Authority: Shadow】

【Rank: First Sense】

◈◈◈

“Rank… First Sense? How do I improve this thing?”

Qin Jin-Nian was a little confused.

But looking at the quiet panel, his face darkened.

After being silent for a while, he didn’t continue to dwell on it, but instead looked at Vitality.

The + sign for Vitality is still there.

Then let’s upgrade Vitality first.

Thinking of this, he began to add points to Vitality.

【You used ‘1 Stat Point’, Vitality +1.】

Vitality went from 4.23 to 5.23.

Instantly, an unspeakable sense of comfort rose from the soles of his feet.

But this was completely different from the feeling of improving Mental Strength.

Mental Strength was a cool breath rushing straight to the head.

But this time, it was a warm current that filled his whole body.

His body was like land that had been dry for a long time, suddenly injected with a stream of spring water, causing Qin Jin-Nian to tremble all over, and then his eyes lit up.

The Original Body’s ‘weakness’ came from congenital deficiency and the erosion of Abyssal Aura.

This ‘weakness’ came from the bones.

No matter how much he rested, he couldn’t recover or alleviate it.

But this time…

Qin Jin-Nian clearly felt the difference.

Because it was as if the ‘bones’ were nourished.

An unprecedented sense of power filled a part of the previous ‘weakness’…

Even the originally thin arms that seemed like they would break with a fold seemed to be ‘filled’ up!

This is the root being nourished!

“Continue!”

Qin Jin-Nian’s eyes lit up, and he continued to add points…
