My talent panel can be increased.

Chapter 142 Return! Demonic Spells!
Psionic Points Balance: 130391
Take the medicine first, then add some more!
Ye Mingqiu took out the Mirage X (enhanced model) and drank the dark green liquid inside in one gulp, feeling the changes in his body and the increased agility.

Soon, a powerful surge of energy instantly filled his body. That energy stimulated every muscle in his body like an electric current, making his body more active, increasing his agility attribute on the panel, and making him even stronger.

After leveling up and allocating skill points, Ye Mingqiu's [Basic Physical Potential] attribute has increased significantly compared to before. His body, like a sponge thirsting for power, has completely absorbed the power, resulting in a substantial increase in strength.

[Hint: The Mystery X has been used successfully]

[Hint: Base Agility +13]

The improvement in effectiveness is quite noticeable!

The attribute boost cap for the Mysterious Track X is 70, so its potency is much stronger than potions with a cap of 60. It's important to know that the higher the base attribute, the more difficult it is to enhance. Ye Mingqiu's base agility attribute has already reached a terrifying 49 points, which is actually quite high.

More importantly, with one more point, Ye Mingqiu's basic agility will break through the 50 mark, and the difficulty of strengthening between 50 and 40 is completely different. It is actually quite normal for him to be stuck at 49.

Current final agility: 123.9
Allocate all 18 free attribute points to Constitution!

[Hint: Free attribute points have been allocated. Confirm allocation?]

Yes!
A powerful and warm energy flowed from the Spirit Realm's settlement space, infusing into Ye Mingqiu's body and making his already strong vitality even stronger. With the addition of points to his physique, he felt as if his body was undergoing a transformation, with every inch of his skin and muscles becoming more resilient, and his body brimming with vitality.

[Stat allocation complete, base constitution +18]

Basic physical condition: 71
Final physique: 139.6
Life: 14173/9449
Psychic Power: 1867/747
Looking at his maximum health, Ye Mingqiu suddenly smiled with relief. According to the passive skill of Divine Valor, he will have a fixed damage reduction of 1% of his health, and the Spirit Energy-Holy Body will also have a fixed damage reduction of 1% of his spiritual energy.

Therefore, his current damage reduction is 160.4, a fixed damage reduction of 160, which means that most ordinary Tier 1 psionicists probably can no longer deal effective damage to him.

Some low-level professions with low life counts probably don't even have a maximum life count of 160.
Coupled with Ye Mingqiu's 139.6 constitution, which is higher than that of a level 10 hero tank, and the additional physical defense bonus from base constitution, his tankiness has reached an unbelievable level.

Even for a non-legendary psionicist, even at level 10, it's questionable whether they can even break through his defenses!

[View Panel]

Life: 14173/9449
Psychic Power: 1867/747
Strength: 117.5 (45)

Agility: 123.9 (49)

Physique: 139.6 (71)

Spirit: 68.9 (33)

His strength, agility, and physique attributes are all quite good, but his mental attribute is a little low. However, Ye Mingqiu is not a profession that focuses on mental enhancement, so it doesn't really matter if it's a little low.

but
Low attributes mean easier improvement during enhancement. If there's an opportunity to obtain items that enhance spirit, use them as they come. After all, his [Basic Physical Potential] attribute is high enough, so there's no fear of not being able to improve his attributes.

Compared to this, Ye Mingqiu wanted more a way to change the ratio of spirit to spiritual energy conversion, since his spirit-to-spiritual energy conversion ratio was too low, at 1-5, which was far less efficient than the 1-30 conversion ratio of physique and life.

But there was nothing he could do; the only way to change the ratio was through job advancement enhancements. He hadn't learned of any other ways to alter it.

It's possible that such a thing exists, but its rarity, the difficulty of completing it, and the degree of information blockade are certainly not something he could easily learn about.

I can only do my best
[Hint: Blood Spear upgrade complete]

[Note: After advancement, the Blood Spear's enhancement level will drop from +5 to +4]

"I've dropped a level again."

Ye Mingqiu sighed, then opened the enhancement panel to check for any changes.

Blood Spear +4

Current success rate: 65%

[Enhanced Protection Stone: 3/3]

[Enhancement Cost: 10000 Psionic Points]

The success rate of enhancement has dropped by 5% compared to +4, the number of enhancement protection stones required has increased by one, and the energy points consumed have increased by 5000. Overall, the enhancement difficulty has increased significantly, and it is even more expensive than the previous upgrade from +5 to +6.

The core issue with the drop in enhancement level is the change in the value of equipment enhancement. The value of a +5 enhancement for a gold-level weapon is completely different from that of a +5 enhancement for a dark gold-level weapon. The value of a +5 enhancement for a gold-level weapon is only equivalent to that of a +4 enhancement for a dark gold-level weapon.

The spirit world's will cannot bridge the gap, so the enhancement level naturally drops.

"Ah~"

Ye Mingqiu sighed and casually clicked on the enhancement button. Anyway, he only had 3 enhancement protection stones left, and he could only enhance once at most. Whether he succeeded or failed was up to fate.

65% success rate?
With my luck, the enhancement is bound to fail.
[Enhancement successful!]

It will surely be a natural progression, and success will come quickly!
A 65% probability? That should be a piece of cake, right? How could anyone fail? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Hahaha!
Blood Spear +5
Rank: First Rank

Quality: dark gold

Category: Spear

Attack power: 92-125
Durability: 380/380
Equipment requirements: Strength 200, Agility 200, Constitution 200, Spirit 200, Health 12000.

Note: You have gained the approval of the artifact spirit and can ignore equipment requirements.

Equipment characteristics:
① Unstoppable: Sharpness +10
② Blood Crystal Divine Power: When using the Blood Spear in battle, the life recovery efficiency is increased by 100%. The Blood Spear can actively absorb blood and convert it into life energy.

The Blood Spear can consume life energy to restore its own durability, can consume life energy to restore the master's life, and can refine life energy into life essence to increase the master's maximum life.

【Link Core】: As the master uses the Blood Spear for longer periods, the connection between the Blood Spear and the master will gradually increase, and the life recovery efficiency can be increased by up to 50% additionally. The master will also gain an additional boost to Killing Will and increase the weapon's sharpness by up to 5 points.

③Life Force: (Unmodified - omitted)
④ Mind Erosion (Active/Passive): When a unit not recognized by the master or spirit touches the Blood Spear, it will immediately cause the unit to die.

If the attack fails, immediately apply the [Echo of Slaughter] effect to attempt to destroy the enemy's spirit.

If the judgment fails, or the effect of [Echoes of Slaughter] does not meet the expectations of Blood Spear, it will immediately add another [Mind Erosion] judgment and [Blood Energy Erosion] judgment.

If the Blood Spear is touched continuously, all of the above judgments will be triggered frequently.

【Blood Erosion】: This passive ability can be activated during combat. Each time the Blood Spear hits an enemy, it will cause a certain amount of 【Mental Erosion】. The longer the contact time with the Blood Spear, the stronger the 【Mental Erosion】 effect.

⑤ Death Zone (Active): (Omitted)

⑥ Academic progress (passive): (omitted)

Current learned skills: Meteor Arrow, Healing Spell
+3 Special Effect [Awakening]: Energy conduction and amplification effects increased by 30%.

Description: This weapon is based on [Blood Crystal Stone], nurtured by the slaughter of countless living beings, and advanced by absorbing [Ancient God Source Blood]. It possesses unparalleled power and growth potential.

After fully absorbing the Blood Crystal Stone, the Blood Spear successfully advanced to the Dark Gold level.

Ye Mingqiu had previously felt that the Blood Spear's weapon strength was unbelievably high. It didn't seem like a gold-grade weapon at all; it was more like a dark gold-grade weapon that should have been upgraded but couldn't because it lacked certain conditions.

Now, after absorbing the Blood Crystal Stone, the Blood Spear has successfully gained an upgrade opportunity, directly becoming a Dark Gold-grade weapon with a huge increase in strength.

This is what they mean by "great things come from small beginnings," right?

The Blood Spear's attack power has increased by nearly 50%, its durability has been greatly improved, and it has also gained a brand new skill, which has also strengthened its previous passives, such as increasing its sharpness from 6 to 10.

The effect of [Link Core] is also quite good. It increases life recovery efficiency, which can greatly improve Ye Mingqiu's survivability. It can also increase weapon sharpness and further increase attack power.

The new passive skill obtained from 【Mental Erosion】 is also quite powerful, allowing you to inflict instant death or mental damage on enemies during battle, making it quite formidable.

But this effect is a bit difficult to trigger.
why?

To trigger [Mind Erosion], the enemy must first be able to withstand one of Ye Mingqiu's basic attacks without dying; otherwise, how can it be triggered if the enemy is dead?

The Blood Spear already has extremely high attack power, and it has been enhanced to +5, making it very sharp. In addition, Ye Mingqiu has the talent [Unparalleled Courage], which increases strength judgment by 50%. With one strike from the Blood Spear, probably not many people of the same level can stand up.

The person who could withstand Ye Mingqiu's attack without dying was most likely a hegemon-level expert. And hegemon-level experts are likely to have high resistance to abnormal statuses, especially high-level hegemons, who are likely to have resistance when faced with instant death judgments.

Therefore, the main effect of [Mental Erosion] is to cause mental attacks, rather than to kill people by relying on instant death. Those who can be instantly killed are unlikely to be able to withstand a single normal attack from Ye Mingqiu.

Everything that needed to be processed has been processed.

【return】

Private training room
With a flash of teleportation light, Ye Mingqiu returned to his original spot. Looking at the familiar surroundings, he gradually relaxed.

"Wow~"

The soft sound of turning pages filled the air; Tang Ruobing was still reading in the rest area. She kept her head down, engrossed in studying the "Great Magician's Book" that Ye Mingqiu had brought back earlier, seemingly unconcerned about whether Ye Mingqiu had returned.

Ye Mingqiu stepped forward, took out the [Demon's Codex (Fragment)] he had previously traded with the Morning Star Group from his storage space, and handed it to Tang Ruobing, saying, "Here, this is a new book I brought from the Spirit Realm. See if it's useful."

"Ah."

Tang Ruobing spoke, took the [Demon Codex], quickly flipped through it, and concluded, "Hmm, this thing isn't very useful. It's mainly for expanding our knowledge and understanding, so we won't be seduced by the demon race's contracts. The demon race's spells recorded in the book are probably difficult for us humans to use."

"Why? Is there any restriction on using these spells? Is it a racial restriction, or an energy restriction?" Ye Mingqiu continued to ask.

"It's energy. Demons of the demon race can control magical energy much more powerfully than us from birth. The difference between magical energy and spiritual energy is similar to that between divine power, but the intensity is not as high as that of divine power. It's probably only about 1.8 times that of spiritual energy."

Tang Ruobing paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, if it's just a difference in strength, then adding more psionic strength attributes wouldn't be unusable. But the problem is that demonic spells rely on the [Dark Erosion] property of magical energy."

"I see."

Ye Mingqiu nodded in relief. Psychic energy is highly malleable and can be freely converted into various types of energy, possessing powers of various attributes. Simulating it into magical energy is not impossible, but it is extremely difficult.

Demons use demonic magic in a simple and direct way, while psionicists need to convert psionic energy into demonic energy before releasing it, which involves an extra conversion process and requires more effort.

The conversion between psychic and demonic energy is quite difficult. Using demonic magic after converting to demonic energy is not cost-effective. It is better to use spells of other attributes directly. Therefore, for normal psychics, there is no need to learn demonic magic unless the psychic already possesses demonic energy.

Perhaps I can try a different approach?
Ye Mingqiu wore the title of "Lord of Light and Shadow," gathered "Divine Power" in his hands, and activated the authority "Light and Shadow Transformation," directly transforming the bright and holy power in his hands into the completely opposite dark power, filled with an aura of corruption and destruction.

That's the power of the Abyss!
"Could you help me see if this power can replace magical energy?" Ye Mingqiu asked.

"Ok?"

Tang Ruobing stared blankly at the [Demon Abyss Power] in Ye Mingqiu's hand, her mind went completely blank, and she felt utterly overwhelmed.

If [Divine Power] is the strongest representative of divine power, then [Abyssal Power] is the strongest of dark power, far stronger than the magical energy that demons are born with.

But the question is, how exactly does this guy use this kind of energy?

How was he able to use it?
Moreover, if she wasn't mistaken, Ye Mingqiu had first released [Divine Power], and then used some kind of power to transform [Divine Power] into [Abyssal Power]. What kind of power could completely reverse the attributes of [Divine Power]?

Outrageous!

"Cough cough!"

Tang Ruobing coughed twice to calm herself down a bit, and replied, "Yes, and this power is stronger than magic energy. It might also provide an additional boost to the strength of using demonic spells."

"Then could you teach me when you have some free time?"

"Once I finish reading the [Grand Magus Book], the spell techniques there will be even more important and will greatly enhance my strength," Tang Ruobing replied coldly.

"no problem."

Ye Mingqiu readily agreed.

On the surface, he was respecting Tang Ruobing's own desire to become stronger.

But that's not actually the case.

He knew that he and Tang Ruobing had an excellent relationship, and that as long as he made a request, she would most likely not refuse.

If Tang Ruobing refused, it must be because she believed she couldn't complete the interpretation in a short time. Therefore, she chose to find an excuse to cover it up first, then go home and secretly work hard on the interpretation, and only reveal it when she was almost done, speaking in a nonchalant manner.

It was as if she hadn't put in much effort to complete this task, but rather hadn't worked on it before and had quickly finished it once she remembered.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ye Mingqiu will only need to secretly keep an eye on her to "inadvertently" discover that she is secretly reading and studying the [Demon's Codex]. This will be quite an interesting daily routine.

"This level of power is not something a normal person can easily control. [Abyssal Power] itself has the ability to corrupt with darkness. Be careful not to harm yourself because of this power," Tang Ruobing continued.

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu nodded in response.

On the surface, she was saying she was being careful, but she was actually hinting at him: if it's convenient, he should explain how he acquired his power; if not, he could just pretend he didn't understand her implied meaning.

“Look at my title.”

"title?"

Tang Ruobing was puzzled.

She squinted and observed carefully, and found that a line of golden text had appeared above Ye Mingqiu's head. The characters shone with an incomparably magnificent and powerful aura. The title was [Lord of Light and Shadow].

After a brief mental blank, Tang Ruobing asked, her voice trembling slightly, "Is this title... Nine Stars?"

"Yes, nine stars."

How did you get it?

Tang Ruobing's voice was visibly trembling. To be honest, she had never seen a nine-star title before, nor had she ever seen any psychic achieve it.

After all, for a normal psychic, let alone obtaining a high-star title, even just getting a title is quite difficult. Even with her good family background, she has never seen a nine-star title.

"that is."

Ye Mingqiu briefly described what he did in the dungeon while impersonating the Lord of Light and Shadow, describing the details in great detail because he felt that Tang Ruobing would most likely try it next.

If she failed because of a lack of ability, Ye Mingqiu wouldn't worry too much. But if Tang Ruobing failed because he hadn't explained things clearly, leading to problems and causing him heavy losses, then he wouldn't be able to get over it.

Furthermore, the method of obtaining the title is not secret. As long as you can obtain the title, you will see a spirit world prompt at the same time: "Based on your performance in this world."

What title you receive depends on your performance, and everyone who has a title should know that.

"If you need it, I can give you a unit of faith power and see what kind of boost it will give you," Ye Mingqiu said with a smile.

"do not want!"

Tang Ruobing resolutely refused. If Ye Mingqiu were to give her his faith power, wouldn't she become a believer? She didn't want to be his believer!

No amount of power can help!
In short, the positions must be equal!
To earn a title similar to Ye Mingqiu's, one must accomplish extraordinary feats. However, achieving such feats is extremely difficult. Even if she enters the [Usurper] state, she can only temporarily boost her strength and cannot use it sustainably, unless...
Gradually, a bright smile appeared on Tang Ruobing's face. She rested her chin on her hands and said, "Well... how about you don't level up to 4 yet, and we go straight to the level 10 raid? You're level 3, and now if you run the level 10 raid, you can get a 7-level level difference bonus, which is the maximum 200% experience bonus. It's a great deal."

"You want to get the nine-star title?"

Ye Mingqiu frowned, instantly realizing what this guy was thinking.

If nothing unexpected happens, this guy probably wants to take him along as a plaything to absorb the power of the curse, and then activate his [Usurpation] state to descend with divine power and wreak havoc in the world.

However, if he cooperates with her in this way, Ye Mingqiu's income cannot be guaranteed. After all, he obtains a large number of treasure chests and has huge income settlements every time he conducts world exploration. If this affects his income, he will definitely not be willing.

Of course, the most important reason is that he doesn't want to be someone else's accessory.

"I have some ideas," Tang Ruobing replied.

"You can borrow this. You can sign a contract with it and take it. Just return it to me when you're done," Ye Mingqiu said, taking off his Eye of Omargon.

"This is."

Tang Ruobing's eyes lit up, but then she sighed again and said dejectedly, "That's a top-tier piece of equipment. If it doesn't want to, there's no point in forcing it. Top-tier equipment is very proud. How could it easily replace its master and be used as a regular piece of equipment?"

At the same time, the Eye of Omargon, which Ye Mingqiu had removed, quietly opened its eyes and looked in Tang Ruobing's direction, its gaze instantly brightening.

is her!

He knows this person!

It's that guy who intercepted the power of the ancient god realm!
The best way for the Eye of Omargon to recover and improve its equipment quality as quickly as possible is to obtain the power of the Ancient Gods. The compatibility is 100%, after all, it is the equipment transformed from the Eye of the Ancient Gods, making it the most suitable.

However, Ye Mingqiu has too much potential and has already obtained the title of having the [God] characteristic. We must not give up this powerful backer easily, as it is a bright and smooth path.

However, it cannot refuse either, as that would be bad. It can agree, but not too easily, lest it appear prone to betrayal and easily blinded by self-interest.

No, I have to act more reserved!
"A piece of Dark Gold-grade equipment, all the benefits from absorbing the curse are yours, help her with a world," Ye Mingqiu said.

'Is helping her important to you?' Eye of Omargon asked, feigning concern.

"Well, let's go."

“Very well, I will obey my master’s will,” said the Eye of Omargon.

Ye Mingqiu then casually tossed the Eye of Omargon into Tang Ruobing's hands. He knew the nature of this thing well; as long as he was given enough benefits, there would be no problem.

"Another ring."

Tang Ruobing looked at the Eye of Omargon and murmured to herself, but she didn't say anything more. She simply signed a no-betrayal contract with the Eye of Omargon and then tried to equip the gear.

Such powerful equipment stats.
Unfortunately, its attributes are still too biased towards magic-based characters. Although there are ways to increase strength, agility, and constitution, the Eye of Omargon is essentially a magic-based item.

Perhaps it is because its owner is Ye Mingqiu that it had to specialize in physics, which is why it has become this strange-looking creature.

另外
Since he gave me a ring, shouldn't I give him a corresponding gift in return?
Unfortunately, I don't have any suitable overlord-level equipment to give back.
Ye Mingqiu took out the [Shadow of Holy Light] he had previously purchased for 1.5 spirit points from his storage space. Just as he was about to throw the equipment to [Eye of Omargon], Tang Ruobing stopped him and said, "I have already borrowed your equipment, so let me pay for it."

“Dark gold-grade equipment isn’t cheap, but I can pay for it,” Ye Mingqiu said, pushing the equipment towards him.

“You know it’s not cheap, so don’t make things difficult for me.” Tang Ruobing pushed the equipment back, her eyes filled with unwavering determination and clarity.

"OK then."

Ye Mingqiu sighed helplessly, then packed up all the skill books and materials he had acquired in this world and threw them to Tang Ruobing, saying, "This is what I've gained in this world. Help me convert it into attribute-boosting items, and we'll be even."

"Oh."

Tang Ruobing received the items, a strange glint flashing in her lowered eyes.

She knew very well that she had already promised to help Ye Mingqiu find attribute-enhancing items, and now that he was saying this, it was just a formality and couldn't really be waived.

To truly offset the cost, she must give something more, and it must be something that Ye Mingqiu has no choice but to accept.

What should we do?
It feels a bit difficult.
