My stats are higher than yours!

"Really? Physical damage accounts for such a small percentage? My Slow Burst can increase strength attribute by 100%." ​​Bai Shuodong frowned, feeling a little incredulous.

"Is a 100% strength boost really that strong?"

"Isn't it strong?"

"hehe."

Lin Zilong smiled and said, "My talent is the S-rank Divine Valor, which can permanently increase strength, agility, and constitution attributes by 30%. When using long weapons to attack, it additionally increases strength by 50%, which is an independent multiplier. It also provides a fixed immunity of 1% of maximum health damage and increases both physical and magical resistance."

What is 1.3 multiplied by 1.5 again?

It seems to be... 1.95.

Bai Shuodong fell silent. The increase in burst state from the B-level talent [Slow Burst] was about the same as the passive increase effect of the S-level talent [Unparalleled Heroism]. Was this the difference between S-level and B-level?

Fortunately, after 20 years of honing my skills, my psionic attack power has completely surpassed that of my peers, and soaking in lava is still quite impressive.

"How much psionic energy do you have? How many more attacks like that can you launch?" Lin Zilong asked tentatively.

From the beginning, he sensed that Bai Shuodong's condition was a bit off. Logically speaking, after unleashing such a powerful attack, he should have been sweating and weakened, but this guy didn't seem to feel that way at all.

This is very wrong!

"Um..."

Bai Shuodong sensed the consumption of spiritual energy in his body and then said, "I can probably fire about five shots. It consumes quite a lot of energy. I usually don't use this much power, since it requires extra time to charge up."

"?"

In an instant, Lin Zilong's eyes widened in surprise. He was silent for a moment, then exclaimed, "What do you mean you can only fire five shots? What is your innate spiritual energy conversion rate?"

"One to ten."

Bai Shuodong replied.

"No, that's not right either! With your 4 points of spirit attribute, you only have 40 points of spiritual energy. An attack of this level could not possibly only consume 8 points of spiritual energy. This conversion rate is too incredible!"

Lin Zilong paced back and forth, feeling that this was unreasonable no matter how he thought about it. He finally said, "Come on, how about this? You use up all the spiritual energy in your body, and I'll see how fast your natural spiritual energy can recover."

"This... might not be correct, right?"

Bai Shuodong's lips twitched.

If his psionic energy is depleted too quickly, his short-term adaptation will be triggered.

"Bro, I'm begging you, this is the first time I've ever seen such an insanely high stat, it's outrageous!"

Lin Zilong held his hand, stared intently into his eyes, and said, "I can sign a spirit world contract to guarantee that I will not reveal information to others without your permission. I am really curious about just how fast your spiritual energy recovery speed is."

"this..."

Bai Shuodong hesitated for a moment.

"Ugh!"

Lin Zilong sighed, then took out a jet-black longsword from his spiritual storage space and handed it to Bai Shuodong, saying, "Brother, I'm a warrior, and I'm rather poor. I don't have anything good on me, so I'll give you this sword. Let me see just how high your spiritual energy level really is."

What the hell!

Gold-grade one-handed sword!

And there are no equipment requirements!

You have such a good thing and you're telling me you're poor?

Suddenly, Bai Shuodong's expression warmed up instantly. He grabbed Lin Zilong's hand and said enthusiastically, "Hey, we're all brothers. It's just checking attributes, what's the big deal! We're all buddies! Brother Long, from now on you're my real brother!"

As he spoke, he gently put away the gold-grade one-handed sword, his smile growing even wider.

测！

I tested him!

...

[Warning: Rapid psionic energy consumption detected; short-term adaptation triggered]

[Note: Psionic energy regeneration speed increased]

Bai Shuodong did not meditate; he simply stood still and felt his spiritual energy rapidly recover. The weakness from the depletion of spiritual energy quickly disappeared, and a feeling of fullness rippled through his body.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

Lin Zilong looked at the values ​​displayed in the testing glasses, his expression becoming extremely interesting. Finally, he stammered, "No, really? You don't have any psychic talent, do you? You're not wearing any equipment, are you? Are you sure you haven't mastered any skills? Do you dare swear to the Spirit Realm?"

"Alright, alright, I swear to the Spirit Realm, I absolutely did not wear any equipment that restores spiritual energy, I do not have any spiritual energy-related talents, and I do not have any skills that accelerate the restoration of spiritual energy... Is that alright?" Bai Shuodong said helplessly.

[Note: A spirit oath was detected. The information is correct and no punishment mechanism has been triggered.]

"No, there really isn't! Holy crap! Holy crap!"

Lin Zilong sat on the ground, his face filled with bewilderment, muttering to himself, "Recovering 2 points of spiritual energy per second, what kind of stat monster is this? What's the difference between this and Infinite Power? Is being able to fire five shots an understatement?"

"This psionic regeneration, this attack power, what's the difference between this and a humanoid walking nuclear bomb? Even mages don't have this much power, right?"

Chapter Sixty-Four: Hey! Time for dinner again!

"Actually, it's not that strong..."

Bai Shuodong lowered his eyes slightly, secretly confirming his own strength level.

Under normal circumstances, he doesn't actually use up all his psionic energy. And the psionic energy recovery speed bonus is positively correlated with the amount of psionic energy consumed, so the psionic energy recovery speed after a short-term adaptation bonus isn't actually that fast, and he's not actually that powerful.

"Isn't that strong? Oh, I get it, you should call this cunning. You've really outmaneuvered everyone. Who would have thought that a warrior like you could have such a powerful psionic attack?"

“I need to build up my strength. Under normal circumstances, I don’t have time to build up my strength,” Bai Shuodong said.

"It's one thing if the power is weak, but to have such a powerful attack and no one to give you time to charge it up? Are your teammates all idiots? A 3-second [slow burst] combined with such a strong psionic attack, plus a charge-type ability, do you know how terrifying that is?"

"This is a mobile nuclear warhead!"

Lin Zilong looked into the void in front of him, as if he were looking at a private panel that Bai Shuodong could not see. It was his spiritual interface panel, which others could only see with his permission.

As he looked at it and operated it, he said, "Although you're only in your first year of high school, you should know that the warrior class is mainly divided into five types."

"Pure damage-dealing warriors, sword and shield warriors who combine offense and defense, high-speed warriors with maxed-out speed, well-rounded warriors with average overall performance, and special-type functional warriors."

"Different types of warriors have different roles within a team. You are a pure damage-dealing, high-damage warrior, so you can't use the standard requirements of a typical well-rounded warrior as your own. Hmm... I don't think you were taught this in your first year of high school, but it's not important. Just remember that you are very cunning."

"Hehe, hehehe..."

"With such a cunning output, you still need me to help hone it? I'll definitely forge you into the King of Hell who rules the underworld!"

"Hehe! Time for dinner again!"

Lin Zilong suddenly chuckled for no apparent reason, then coughed twice, quickly suppressing his smile. When he looked at Bai Shuodong, he put on a stern face and said, "Don't look at me like that. You'll be poor in the future too. You need to learn to be frugal. I can reluctantly teach you how to beg for food in the future."

"?"

Bai Shuodong felt a chill run down his spine.

Dude, even legendary warriors are this poor? Reduced to begging for food? Don't you have a gold-tier one-handed sword? I heard those things are pretty expensive.

Lin Zilong could tell what this guy was thinking just by looking at him, after all, he had been through that period himself. So he sighed and said, "Let me tell you this, there is no necessary relationship between being poor and weak. It is normal for a true strong person to be penniless, because all the resources have been used to exchange for strength."

"Those who have all sorts of things in their pockets are actually the worst off, because it's probably because they lack connections and channels, and their resources can't be converted into strength. What's the use of having them rotten in their hands?"

"So there's a reason why we're poor. Don't look down on poor warriors. You might be even poorer than me in the future, hahaha!"

Lin Zilong laughed until tears welled up in his eyes. How could he have been so foolish as to try and accumulate passive skills like the strongest tyrant in history? A bunch of three-star basic growth passives, high stats, but no ultimate skill, he relied entirely on basic attacks in battle.

His only advantages are higher basic attack damage, slightly more tankiness in fights, and stronger overall combat strength.

but...

Upgrading a Samsung passive skill to four stars requires a ton of resources! And upgrading from four to five stars requires even more. Learning a five-star passive skill directly can save you a lot of resources!

Then, he took out a crystal ball directly from his storage space in the spirit realm and said, "I saw your move just now. It was indeed powerful, but the problem was equally serious. It was like a self-taught, unorthodox style, and the attack power was too scattered."

"Your main problem right now is to concentrate your psionic attacks, instead of letting them explode completely. To improve your level, you must improve your psionic control. First, use this crystal ball to output psionic energy. If you can output without any psionic energy overflow, you will have completed the first stage of special training."

"Wait, didn't I come here to learn how to use a gun?" Bai Shuodong couldn't help but ask.

"Tsk."

Lin Zilong glanced at him and said, "Learning marksmanship is nowhere near as fast as learning psionic control. You already have firearms, why would I teach you how to use melee weapons? Am I crazy or are you crazy?"
