My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 435 Target Wen Yu, Two-Sided Collaboration!
Four skills and one talent.

This was actually enough to satisfy Xia Lin.

Each of the four skills is powerful:
The ability to reshape everything and change the properties of matter is omnipotent; at least Xia Lin could think of too many applications just by thinking about it.

Turning stone into gold and treasure into sand are just basic skills. If you use this skill to turn an enemy's hard-won flesh into tofu, wouldn't he just explode?
I've analyzed the skill "Above All Laws" before; its strength and effects are considerable, so there's no need to elaborate.

Eternal Mark and Eternal Recall are complementary skills and can be discussed together.

The first thing Xia Lin thought of was the synergistic effect between these two skills and pseudo-random replacement!

—I only need to swap once and mark it again, and Brother Shrimp will stay with you for life, you can't shake him off.

This tactic, let alone using it, is enough to make Xia Lin's opponents tremble with fear just by hearing it.

The Eternal and Undying talent is invincible and can even be linked with the Life and Death Battle.

But actually, Xia Lin's biggest gain from this wave was not the new skills and talents.

Xia Lin has never lacked skills or other means.

The biggest gain was actually the two notification sounds from before.

You have gained insight into the true nature of your physical body.

[You have a slight insight into the essence of your soul and the underlying logic of the professional system.]

This is the real big deal!
……

From the perspective of "Heaven's Witness," everything is much clearer than before.

This is not clarity in the conventional sense—the witnessing is already quite powerful, even allowing us to see microscopic things at the level of microparticles.

With the blessing of the Heavenly Dao Equation and the artificial Heavenly Dao, this change in perspective is not about distance, breadth, or detail, but about rules, logic, and principles!

For example.

A witness can tell you how many scales a fish has, and can even see through its skin and flesh to count how many bones and blood vessels it has.

After receiving the blessing of the Heavenly Dao Equation, "Heavenly Dao Witness" will allow you to see the fish's life evolution process, its DNA helical structure, and even its past, present, and future.

This is a fundamental change!
When Xia Lin's gaze returned to itself, focusing solely on his own being without relying on external objects, he finally achieved a true self-examination and analysis.

And this is of great significance.

Xia Lin saw that his physical body was tight and delicate.

—The bones combine strength and flexibility, allowing for easy shaping without sacrificing strength.

Blood, like jade beads, flows and collides in powerful veins, making a tinkling sound.

—The flesh and skin emit a soft white light, like celestial jade or divine treasure. If a mortal can eat a bite, there is a small chance of immortality, but a high chance of exploding and dying.

But Xia Lin didn't want to see just how awesome his body, which had reached the limits of a professional's attributes, really was.

Because he himself knew how amazing this body was, there was no need to boast anymore.

What he wanted to see was to uncover the deep secrets and get to the bottom of things.

Why is it so awesome?
And this is precisely the significance of "Heaven's Witness".

In a daze, a glint flashed in Xia Lin's eyes, and he caught what he wanted.

Xia Lin saw that his own body was like an extremely sophisticated runic instrument.

From the perspective of "Heaven's Witness," every bone and cell of Xia Lin is filled with extreme power and engraved with complex inscription structures that Xia Lin cannot understand at all.

As the analysis deepened, the power of the Heavenly Dao became more concentrated, and Xia Lin clearly saw the principle and the entire process of his becoming stronger!

—From the very beginning of his transmigration, with his ordinary mortal body, to his repeated breakthroughs and growth, and the increase in his racial stats.

Every time an attribute is gained, every time a racial stat is increased, it is because the physical body, under the effect of the limit-breaking skill, has been strengthened or even transformed by absorbing cosmic energy!

"I see."

Xia Lin suddenly realized.

The reason why Limit Breaking Techniques can improve attributes and racial stats is actually the same as the Fundamentals of Martial Arts and Immortal Arts.

Essentially, every limit-breaking technique is a cultivation method, and the only difference between it and the basic methods of immortality and martial arts lies in the different types of external energy it absorbs.

"But what are those inscriptions?"

The moment the thought crossed my mind, the East Wind Domination took effect.

After the temporary attribute bonuses were stacked, Xia Lin saw strange inscriptions resembling Dongfeng missiles appear out of thin air in his flesh and blood cells. It was these inscriptions that brought Xia Lin a hundredfold temporary attribute bonus!
This also answered Xia Lin's question.

"These inscriptions are the remnants of skills, or rather, the remnants of the limit-breaking skills that once worked on me!"

"These inscriptions reveal the essence and operational logic of these skills!"

After thinking for a moment, Xia Lin started the Emperor Engine again.

From the perspective of "Heaven's Witness", Xia Lin clearly saw that the operating principle of skill systems like the Emperor Engine, which have no upper limit to improvement, is completely different from that of temporary buffs like the East Wind Domination, which have an upper limit!
The Emperor Engine's power doesn't directly affect the user. The energy generated by this type of skill is like armor, enveloping the user's body and providing unlimited enhancement.

It's like a person wearing a mecha, thereby gaining almost unlimited combat power upgrades.

"Therefore, the limit of 100 times for buff skills remains an ironclad rule in the professional system."

Skills like Dongfeng Domination work inside cells, temporarily increasing their strength—but cells have a limit to their capacity; a hundredfold increase is the limit for a cell.

All abilities with unlimited amplification use the skill logic of the Emperor Engine—they do not participate in the body's self-circulation, but only provide external assistance on the body's surface.

In terms of effect, there is no difference between the two. Normal people would not think about these things, nor would they perceive the difference.

Now that Xia Lin understands these things, it means that he has roughly grasped the essence of the skill!

Yes, the biggest gain this time is that "Witness of Heaven" can help Xia Lin analyze the operating rules of the professional system and grasp the essence of profession, talent, and skills!

Then I thought of the way the two emperors, the immortal and the demon, fought.

Xia Lin had thought that it was an advanced skill application technique that he could only access when he reached level twelve, but now it seems that Xia Lin has already uncovered a part of this secret.

Like a thirsty person encountering delicious food, or a bookworm venturing into a sea of ​​books.

Xia Lin was so engrossed in learning and self-discovery that he couldn't pull himself out.

He saw his own soul form, and the skill orbs floating around it.

Xia Lin was no stranger to this perspective; such an external effect would occur when a pseudo-random permutation hit.

Only at this moment did Xia Lin realize what this scene meant.

"The root of skill lies in the soul; skill revolves around the soul, just as a satellite revolves around a planet."

"The essence of pseudo-random replacement is to shake this surrounding relationship, loosen the binding relationship between skills and souls, and thus complete the skill replacement."

"Hmm, if we want to guard against the pseudo-random replacement trick, it seems there is a more direct way... If we change the binding relationship between the skill and the soul, and completely embed the skill orb into the soul, making it a complete part of the soul, then the pseudo-random replacement probably won't work."

Xia Lin thought he had discovered some incredible secret.

If Victor were here, he would definitely say something like, "This is all stuff the Demon Emperor has already mastered..."

The Demon Emperor, number one in the Soul Path.

This "Soul Path" refers not only to the Demon Emperor's proficiency in soul-related abilities, but also to his profound understanding of the relationship between skills and the soul, and the abundance of related methods he employs.

Just like Xia Lin's discovery of the relationship between skills and the soul... Who doesn't understand the Six Pillars?
After a moment's thought, Xia Lin smiled and said, "That's true. Changing the way skills connect with the soul seems to be the foundation of the skill control abilities of the Demon Emperor and the Immortal Emperor."

To put it in simpler terms:

Xia Lin's current state is only at the lowest level of skill usage.

Skills are like tools; they follow your instructions and work according to a set procedure.

The methods used by the two emperors of immortals and demons represent the most advanced application of skills.

They grasped the essence of skills, transforming tools into their own limbs, and into power that belonged entirely to them.

You can use it if you want, or you can use it without disassembling it if you don't want to.

Use it however you want, with flexible, unpredictable, and infinite combinations, thus unleashing limitless power!

To achieve this, the first step is to change the way skills and the soul are linked!
As Xia Lin delved deeper, he saw that the complex inscriptions on his body and soul seemed to form an unshakeable shackle.

These constraints created the dual limitations of the upper limit on physical attributes and the upper limit on skill slots, thus preventing Xia Lin from trying to change the way skills and soul were connected.

Xia Lin suddenly realized.

"This is the underlying logic of attribute caps and skill slot caps!"

I tried to break it, but to no avail.

Xia Lin was neither disappointed nor discouraged; instead, her lips curled up and her interest grew even stronger.

The only way to break the attribute cap is to achieve level 12.

There is no known way to break the skill slot limit and obtain an unlimited skill slot.

But Xia Lin never believed that the skill slots for the Six Pillars were also limited.

Yes, he doesn't believe in that.

The Six Pillars are above the professional system, which means that even if the Six Pillars also use a skill system, they will inevitably be very different from regular professionals, and the skill slot restrictions cannot possibly limit the Six Pillars.

So how did they break through the skill bar restrictions?

Xia Lin previously thought that this change was brought about by the six pillars of the family.

Now, Xia Lin had a vague premonition that this idea was wrong...

Thinking about how the will of the universe would help professionals break through attribute limitations when they advance to level 12, Xia Lin suddenly felt an even stronger anticipation for advancing to level 12.

There seems to be a great secret to be uncovered at the moment of advancing to level twelve, which is the moment when the restrictions on the professional system attributes are broken.

Of course, this was a bit ahead of its time, so Xia Lin kept it in mind for the time being and didn't think about it too deeply.

He simply focused his attention on his own body and soul, slowly but meticulously analyzing the essence of all his skills, and enjoying the process.

The changes and impacts caused by this process cannot be reflected in the attribute panel.

So, while it may seem that Xia Lin hasn't received any promotion, he understands that this might be the true meaning behind the huge sum of money in the darker symbolism, and also his greatest gain from this trip!
……

The flow of time in reality and in the dark side is not synchronized.

While Xia Lin in the real world was immersed in the joy of learning, Xia Lin in the shadows was not idle either. Making a move on the stolen goods required waiting, and Xia Lin herself had no control over the process.

Therefore, he focused his energy on the "business war" between Xianze Group and Wenyu Group.

Symbols reveal reality.

From this covert business battle, Xia Lin was able to deduce the progress of the real-world war between the Immortal and Demon Emperors.

Time flies, and three days have passed in the shadows.

The business battle between Xianze Group and Wenyu Group is not over yet, but Wenyu Group has already gained the upper hand.

According to online experts, Wenyu Group has gone all out this time, and the downfall of Xianze Group is likely just around the corner.

Xia Lin did not wait for the Xianze Group to collapse.

Instead, we received news from General Manager Zhang first.

30000000 yuan has been deposited into your bank account!
As his phone beeped with a text message, Mr. Zhang's WeChat messages followed.

Mr. Zhang: The money has been transferred to your card. It's 3 million RMB. I only charged you a 5% handling fee.

The price of gold on the black market is definitely lower than the market price. In addition, Mr. Zhang took a 5% handling fee, so Xia Lin only received 3000 million.

This is basically the theoretical upper limit—which also means that Xia Lin in reality did not get the direction wrong or misunderstand the symbolism of the dark side.

Xia Lin: Thank you, Brother Zhang. You're very kind.

Mr. Zhang: Absolutely, I was lucky this time. Don't forget your brother Zhang if you ever need anything. As long as the money's right, I can help you figure out a solution.

Upon seeing this, Xia Lin became curious...

This image seems to represent someone with considerable ability, but it's unclear what kind of being in reality it symbolizes.

Xia Lin: Brother Zhang, you know what, I actually have something else I'd like to ask you for help with.

Mr. Zhang: Go ahead.

Xia Lin: Do you have any battle reports on the conflict between Xianze Group and Wenyu Group? I've been paying close attention to this matter lately.

Mr. Zhang didn't even ask Xia Lin why she was paying attention to this.

His industry has its own rules; what the boss thinks is none of your business, so try not to ask if you can avoid it.

Soon, a document was sent to Xia Lin by General Manager Zhang. Xia Lin glanced at it and found that the document was well-organized, detailing the entire process of the business battle between the two major groups.

The details are far more extensive than what is circulating online.

This even includes the types and quantities of firearms used by both sides, and even the combat capability ratings of Xianze and Wenyu themselves!
"Cyborgs?"

A new term caught Xia Lin's eye, so she simply sent an email to General Manager Zhang to inquire about it.

Xia Lin: Brother Zhang, what does this "modified human" mean?
Mr. Zhang: The technology that's been circulating in secret—creating artificial superpowered individuals. And the technology that Xianze and Wenyu possessed was leaked from the World Government.

Xia Lin: Brother Zhang, could you say more?
Xia Lin wanted to get more information from Boss Zhang, but the secrets involved in cyborgs seemed quite significant, and Boss Zhang was vague and didn't know much either.

All I know is that this is a high-end technology that only powerful forces can master.

Xia Lin didn't press the matter further and quickly sent another message.

Xia Lin: Brother Zhang, there's something I really need to trouble you with. I'd like you to help me find out about Wenyu Group's industrial layout, and ideally, find out some of Wenyu Group's core secrets.

Mr. Zhang: That's easy. 10.

The price isn't high, considering it's just some information.

Xia Lin paid, and the detailed information was quickly sent to Xia Lin's mobile phone.

Examine the details and develop a plan.

Xia Lin quickly sent another message to General Manager Zhang.

Xia Lin: Brother Zhang, I might need some manpower on my end. Can you provide that service?
Mr. Zhang remained silent for a long time before replying.

Mr. Zhang: I do not offer this service at the moment.

Xia Lin thought to himself, "What a pity."

He wanted to hire Mr. Zhang to help, not mainly because he needed help, but to see which force Mr. Zhang represented in reality.

As a result, they simply did not provide any direct military support, which thwarted Xia Lin's plans.

But overall, the problem isn't too serious.

After all, having experienced Yang Zhe's golden opportunity, Xia Lin had come to realize this very thing.

—It is insufficient to consider only the practical benefits and focus solely on the symbolic aspects of the darker side.

To achieve true balance in reality, you can't just focus on the dark side; you have to take real action in reality.

In reality, half a day later, Xia Lin officially merged Yang Zhe's main world into the outer world.

After setting up multiple seals on the artificial Heavenly Dao, Xia Lin left the transdimensional teleportation channel and returned to the subconscious fragments.

Above our heads, the war between immortals and demons is about to come to an end!

In the original history, the two emperors, the immortal and the demon, fought fiercely in this battle, destroying the Lori Star Cluster, but neither side could gain the upper hand.

However, due to the unexpected interference of Yang Zhe, the Immortal Emperor experienced a fierce battle ahead of schedule and was weakened to some extent. The Demon Emperor then made his move, changing the original timeline.

High above the heavens, the celestial light burst forth in its final brilliance, like a blazing sun, yet its peak could not conceal its decay.

On the contrary, the demonic light that was confronting the celestial light became increasingly deep and dark, and completely gained the upper hand!

The outcome is about to be decided.

That was the time for Xia Lin to make his move.

Looking at the two emperors, one immortal and one demon, in the sky, Xia Lin gently exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He harbored ill will towards the Immortal Emperor.

He had feelings for the Demon Emperor.

But Xia Lin is clear-headed and will not project her emotions onto a fake person who is fake within a fake person.

"So this time, I have offended you."

As she said this, Xia Lin in reality had already started walking.

My transcendence over all laws and phenomena has long been established.

Xia Lin truly exists, yet all her pheromones have been erased by a skill, leaving her in a superposition of "whether you exist or not."

And the effect of this skill is truly domineering!
Beings below level twelve would naturally be unable to detect any trace of Xia Lin's existence.

Even the two current emperors, the Immortal and the Demon, couldn't sense Xia Lin's presence, and might even have forgotten Yang Zhe's words when he appeared: "Xia Lin, step forward to meet your death"...

Of course, this is partly due to the effect of the skill, and partly because at this moment, these two only have each other in their eyes, so they easily ignore the external environment.

As they moved, the Emperor Engine roared, frantically boosting Xia Lin's temporary attributes.

Soon, Xia Lin arrived at the edge of the Immortal-Demon Battlefield.

A fierce wind blew by, but it didn't lift Xia Lin's clothes—I am above all laws and can even deceive the wind.

Looking at the Demon Emperor, who had already gained an absolute advantage, Xia Lin's gaze darkened slightly.

He entered this fragment of the subconscious and gained a great deal.

But this cannot make Xia Lin forget his initial goal: the absolute balance of the Demon Emperor!

To achieve absolute balance with the Demon Emperor, one must inevitably clash with him...

Judging others by one's own standards, even if someone is someone you know well, Xia Lin would still turn against them if they wanted to be eternally remembered by him, let alone the fact that he had absolutely no connection with this fake Demon Emperor.

"Therefore, it is necessary to determine a winner and a loser, even a matter of life and death..."

They waited silently, their eyes fixed intently on the battle.

In the shadows, as night fell, Xia Lin dressed, used the Bone-Changing Transformation technique to adjust her appearance and physique, and set off under the cover of darkness.

After acquiring 3000 million, Xia Lin bought himself a car and a bunch of powerful items from cheat apps.

I had just gotten into the car when I received a message from Mr. Zhang on my phone.

Mr. Zhang: Xianze Machinery Processing Plant outside the city, Xianze is doomed.

Xia Lin: I understand.

He stepped on the gas, and the car shot off.

Tonight is not only the final battle between Xianze Group and Wenyu Group, but also the end of the war between the two emperors, the immortals and the demons.

Similarly, this is the best time for Xia Lin to take action—whether it's Xia Lin in the real world or Xia Lin in the shadows!
In reality, Xia Lin's muscles began to tense, and the light of the Heavenly Dao Equation flashed repeatedly as he prepared to launch a sneak attack.

In the shadowy side of his left eye, the vehicle was parked in a secluded corner outside the city. Xia Lin listened to a tune while opening a cheat app on his phone and simply purchased seven skill slot expansion capsules, expanding his skill slots in the shadowy side to the maximum of 10!
Then open the skill shop and select a skill.

Soon, several skills appeared on Xia Lin's personal information panel.

[Firearms Mastery (Rank B): Passive Skill. Your control over firearms has reached a level of unparalleled mastery, beyond mere proficiency, bordering on the divine!]

[Gunfighting (Rank B): Passive Skill. Passively mastering gunfighting greatly improves your shooting accuracy and weapon control, while also granting +2 to all your attributes!]

[Iron Shirt (Rank B): Passive Skill. Your skin has undergone rigorous training, greatly enhancing your resilience! Additionally, all your attributes increase by +2!]

[Holy Light (Rank B): Active skill. Consumes 1 point of Spirit Power to quickly heal all your injuries. This skill has a 10-minute cooldown.]

[Combat Instinct (Rank B): Passive Skill. Greatly enhances your ability to control your aircraft and sense danger.]

[X-ray Vision (Rank B): Active Skill. Consumes 2 points of Spirit Power to activate this skill, granting you the ability to see through most mortal obstacles. This skill lasts for three minutes! Cooldown: ten minutes.]

In addition, there's Rapid Nourishment, Bone Transformation, and the three skills of Eight-Fight Fist.

All ten skills are maxed out, and the attribute points have reached 14!
Reaching out, Xia Lin retrieved an extravagantly designed sniper rifle from the piano case in the passenger seat, and smiled simultaneously from both the real and the darker side of her life.

Today, the target is Wenyu, with collaboration on both fronts.

I'll fight you on two levels, I refuse to believe I can't defeat you, you fake demon emperor!
