People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 243 Overlap (Twelfth update! 300 monthly votes added! Please vote!)

With nine nodes, each still capped at level five, Li Qi spent 90,000 experience points to max them all out. This granted him +10 to Spirit, +10 to Perception, +10 to Spiritual Energy, +10 to Inspiration, +5 to Gene Strength, +5 to Vitality, +5 to Spiritual Energy Resistance, +5 to Spiritual Resistance, +5 to Physical Resistance, and a level ten resonance effect, granting +10 to all attributes, +5 to all resistances, and +5 to Gene Strength.
Li Qi had thus consumed 135000 experience points, leaving him with 25,800. He then used 20,000 points to upgrade his life level ten more times, raising it to 20. At the same time, he gained one more slot and all his attributes increased by 10.
In a short while, disregarding Li Qi's five-dimensional attributes, four of them directly increased to 45 points, while his spiritual energy reached 55 points.

At the same time, the various resistances, especially the increase in gene strength, gave Li Qi a very strange feeling. It was not just a simple increase in strength, but an expansion of the upper limit.

It's like a fragile glass cup being transformed into a large iron bucket. Although the contents inside remain the same, it's still different.

"The superposition of templates involves adding some attributes and multiplying others. While most of the basic attributes are added together and only a very few are multiplied, the 45 points in four dimensions of this world are absolutely comparable to all six dimensions exceeding four in the real world..."

"Of course, the improvement of the six dimensions in reality is not only quantitative but also qualitative. The sum of two four-point modules is only about six points. However, I also added a Heroes module. Although the upper limit of this module is low, the actual attributes of my projected body are now at least eight points."

"Then there's that gene strength, which seems the most useless, but it inexplicably complements the system in reality. My innate coefficient is very strong now, but that's just cellular consciousness, and the genes of the cells themselves haven't changed. It doesn't match the strength of a 10-point gene coefficient at all. Now that the gene expansion has been done, it seems to have liberated some of the power of cellular consciousness."

"With my current form, if I were to face the muscular demon monk, I should be able to reliably force him to unleash his second form..."

As the power surging within him grew, Li Qi couldn't help but begin to assess the gap between himself and the Muscular Demon Monk.

Despite his seemingly evenly matched fight yesterday, he actually gave it his all and only managed to scratch his opponent.

Although Li Qi has improved significantly, he still dares not say that he can definitely win.

In the true qi martial arts, each breakthrough to a new realm represents a tremendous qualitative change.

Despite the large increase in the module's stats, its actual effect is only one-tenth of Zhao Gouzi's power after becoming a Grandmaster.

A level 20 life level is actually just equivalent to a level 200 martial arts skill in the Heroes of the Three Kingdoms template. It's about building a foundation; the real power comes later.

Upon reaching level 20, 27 new nodes were unlocked. Each node requires 4000 experience points to level up. Li Qi currently had 5,800 experience points left, so he chose the most special one from these 27 nodes.

Psionic Mastery: Your control, affinity, and effectiveness with psionic energy are greatly enhanced.

This node is the core of the 27 nodes, located at the very center, and its level is only one, meaning it can only be clicked once.

As the points were added, the effects were immediate. Li Qi noticed a strange change in himself. Subtle changes occurred in his body, spirit, and genes. He already possessed what was called the world's limit of spiritual energy talent, and now it was increasing again, making the experience very subtle.

Suddenly, he understood what this meant: the limits of the world are not the limits of life, and this is also the meaning of the existence of wisdom. Just like the talent of a peerless genius in the real world, 10 points is already the limit of the world, but some people can continue to sublimate it after breaking through the five major limits. This spiritual mastery is the same.

"The people in this world definitely can't just add points like I do. I don't know how they cultivate. The changes involved are too subtle and wondrous..."

Such a thought arose in Li Qi's mind, and he was somewhat shocked.

At the same time, Li Qi also felt the flow of power within his body: the Qi from higher dimensions, the physical and mental power from his own body, and the spiritual energy that seemed to come from zero dimensions. These three elements circulated and, under the miraculous power of the Body of Calamity Seal, not only did they not conflict with each other, but they also promoted and bound each other together. They were intertwined and constantly changing, forming a mysterious order and law.

For some reason, Li Qisheng felt a sense of stability, as if his life had been somewhat completed, making up for a huge, invisible shortcoming.

"The number three is very subtle; while it is subject to change, it also possesses remarkable stability..."

"However, it's also because my Calamity Seal Body is powerful. After all, the worlds are different, and the laws are different. Under normal circumstances, it's already good enough if the power systems don't conflict. How could they possibly achieve harmony and complementarity? I don't know how the Calamity Seal Body manages to do that. It truly feels like all laws are returning to oneness..."

Li Qi stood still, gently raising his hand, yet he had the illusion that the world was in his palm.

This feeling was wonderful. Although the bloody city in front of him was bizarre and terrifying at first glance, Li Qi felt that he himself was a complete little world, impervious to all evil.

After another ten seconds or so, Li Qi finally made a bigger move. More than a minute later, he finally started to move. With just a light leap, he jumped more than twenty meters high. This was not simply his jumping power, but his own strength, combined with spiritual energy and the mystery of qi. The effect was caused by the integration of all the forces.

While it can't compare to the freedom of flying and escaping after combining with Zhao Gouzi, it's still a basic version of flying.

In a single leap, Li Qi took two more steps in mid-air. With each step, ripples of air rippled beneath his feet, accompanied by loud explosions. For a fleeting moment, the distorted, exploding air could be vaguely seen forming a lotus shape!
In reality, Li Qi can only walk on water, but now, combining spiritual energy and qi, he can walk on air. You have to understand, air is hundreds of times thinner than water!

Without these two extraordinary energies, Li Qi would never have been able to do this. After all, even a great sage as powerful as the Great Sage cannot control his qi.

However, Li Qi did know that some extremely powerful Great Sages could use the Qi-stepping technique to sense and control the magnetic poles of heaven and earth, thereby borrowing power from thin air. However, once that technique was used, the magnetic light would explode, which was terrifying and boundless. It was not based on the same principle as stepping on Qi.

After taking two steps, Li Qi reached a height of over sixty meters. Then, his sleeves fluttered as he briefly glided a distance before landing steadily on the rooftop of a building that was not completely covered by the flesh-and-blood fungal carpet.
