Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 891 Continuous Upgrades (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

For Gao Yang now, every upgrade means a significant risk.

The source of this risk is the strange object bound to his soul—the Nourishing Aberration Core.

Gao Yang chose the path of peak nourishment, resisting the occurrence of mutations with each upgrade to prevent irreversible deformities in his body.

With each upgrade, the probability of mutation increases slightly. If one attempts to upgrade before their willpower is at its peak, they may fail to resist the mutation.

If this were to happen, it would be completely unacceptable to Gao Yang; he didn't want to become a monster that was neither human nor ghost.

However, once the distortion is successful, every subsequent upgrade will inevitably be accompanied by distortion.

By then, Gao Yang will only have two choices: either give up improving his professional level, in which case the amplification of his life essence by the Nourishing Aberration Core will not be triggered, and the aberration will not occur again.

Either choose to fully embrace the distortion and become a complete monster.

Of course, Gao Yang could die once more, attempting to use death to sever the bond between himself and the strange object.

He no longer has any fatal weaknesses in the conventional sense, and his head has been separated from his body for no more than ten minutes. During this time, he has been in a state of near-death. If his head and body can be reattached within these ten minutes, he can be resurrected.

However, Gao Yang did not know whether this state could be determined by nourishing the mutated core, thereby breaking the bond between his soul and the core.

Therefore, under such unknown circumstances, he chose to adjust his spirit and energy to their best state each time he leveled up, so as to counteract the abnormal effects brought about by the significant enhancement of his life essence.

After all, he could gain more benefits by using his peak willpower to fight against physical deformity.

This meditation did not last long. After only a moment, Gao Yang opened his eyes after sensing that his spirit had been fully restored.

With a thought, the integrated network panel appeared before his eyes, and a series of prompts followed:
"Network notification: Do you wish to upgrade your character's legendary class - the unique war god - to level 22? Please note: This operation requires 40000000 legendary experience points, and this operation is irreversible!"

Looking at the network prompts in front of him, Gao Yang did not choose to upgrade directly. Instead, he brought up his inventory and looked at the probability of physical mutation described in the Nourishing Aberration Core.

[Probability of physical deformity: 8%]

After only two upgrades, both of which failed, the original 10% aberration probability was reduced by two percentage points to only 8%.

However, as Gao Yang levels up, this probability will only increase.

Gao Yang withdrew his gaze, and with a thought, chose to confirm.

The next instant, as Gao Yang's consciousness fluctuated, his retina refreshed with new notification information:

"Network notification: 40000000 legendary experience points successfully frozen. Searching for the level cap of the character's current region."

"Network notification: Comprehensive search complete. The character's location meets the relevant restrictions, and the character's legendary class level upgrade is underway."

"Important Notice from the Network: The legendary character class - the unique War God class - has been upgraded to level 22!"

"Network notification: You have received a legendary professional baptism, and your life essence, attack bonus, willpower, and related basic resistances have been permanently increased by a moderate amount!"

"Network notification: Character's life level has been increased. The rare item - Nourishing Aberration Core has taken effect. This legendary life baptism has increased your life essence by 200%."

"Network notification: You have gained 1 Legendary Class Skill Point."

With the appearance of the integrated network notification, an unstoppable surge of vitality coursed through Gao Yang's body.

This surging vitality crashed wildly within him, seemingly trying to force a hole in his body and release all the boundless vitality that had nowhere else to go.

Gao Yang naturally wouldn't allow this vitality to surge unchecked within his body. Brilliant radiance of will bloomed in his eyes, and golden radiance of will enveloped his body, like a layer of golden, semi-transparent armor, firmly locking down his physical state.

Despite the surging vitality within him, Gao Yang's body showed no change whatsoever.

Soon, with the continued suppression of Gao Yang's will, the rampant and boundless vitality gradually weakened and eventually merged completely into his body. "Network notification: Life essence successfully enhanced, mutation resistance successfully achieved, physical mutation probability -1%, current physical mutation probability: 12%."

"Network notification: Successfully resisted three aberrations, peak will activated, character-related physical/willpower assessment +1, physical potential rank +1."

The upgrade was successful, but Gao Yang felt no joy.

For him, being well-prepared is one aspect, while having self-confidence is another.

Before activating the peak nourishment, his willpower meant he was basically unharmed.

The real test comes after the peak nourishment is activated. When that time comes, resistance will only lead to the loss of self, which is no different from death.

At that time, Gao Yang's level also reached level 25.

He was only level 22 at the moment, so he felt no joy or relief whatsoever.

After reaching level 22, Gao Yang got up and stretched to allow his body to quickly adapt to the surge in vitality.

He then sat down cross-legged again and began the same steps as before.

As the meditation ended, Gao Yang chose to upgrade again.

This time, however, the legendary experience points consumed were enough to reach 50 million, and the increase in life essence brought about by leveling up was almost the same as before.

A moment later, Gao Yang exhaled a breath of stale air; this upgrade was now complete.

A flash of light appeared, and Gao Yang opened his personal information panel.

Name: Gao Yang (Sun Body State)
Class: The One and Only God of War (LV23)

Health: 100%
Dou Qi: 435780/440000
Strength: 31+2
Agility: 30
Physique: 30+2
Intelligence: 26
Charisma: 26
Perception: 25
Free attribute points: 0, Extraordinary attribute points: 0, Legendary attribute points: 0
Legendary Reputation: 307
Looking at his personal information panel, Gao Yang's face showed a satisfied smile.

This level of personal panel surpasses that of the vast majority of cross-platform players.

In his Sun Body state, his battle qi doubled, reaching a terrifying level of 440,000. With this level of battle qi, coupled with his precise control over it, it was practically inexhaustible.

In addition, legendary reputation has unknowingly surpassed the 300 mark.

This means that Gao Yang's fame in the multiverse has spread to extremely far places, and perhaps when he arrives in some larger planes in the future, someone will be the first to recognize him.

Of course, for Gao Yang at present, the effect of legendary reputation is limited to enhancing the derivative effects of his [War God Prestige].

"【God of War Prestige】Derivative effect: Every 100 points of multiverse reputation permanently increases overall combat power and aura-related abilities by 1%, current increase: 3%."

A 3% increase in overall combat power is already extremely significant for Gao Yang.

It's important to understand that this is a comprehensive 3% increase based on a holistic consideration of all combat capabilities.

Moreover, it's an increase without any consumption or side effects.

After closing his personal information panel, Gao Yang opened his legendary skill library and began selecting legendary skills suitable for his current situation.

He just leveled up twice and gained two legendary skill points.

Such a valuable resource should naturally be transformed into combat power as soon as possible.

After all, legendary achievements are not simply the accumulation of numbers, but rather the fusion of numbers, attributes, specializations, skills, and so on.

Just like some gods who were killed by mortals, they only had power but no ability to use it correctly, and were thus mercilessly killed by mortals who had condensed their power to the extreme.
