With the class change to Shield Guardian and maxed-out defense, I can maintain infinite health.

inside the room.

Chen Ming sat quietly on the bed with his eyes slightly closed.

The unusual redness on his body had disappeared, and he was no longer breathing heavily.

However, Chen Ming's breathing was very weak at this moment, with no rise and fall.

It was as if they had entered a meditative state.

Within the mental space...

[Mental Strength +40!]

Chen Ming finished another round of absorption.

His consciousness snapped out of his trance and he subconsciously checked the progress.

According to estimates, it's already 90% complete!

So far, he has only gained spiritual power by absorbing the Azure Flame Molten Fire.

There are already 490 points!

This is a terrifying number.

If calculated based on upgrades, a normal job changer would need to level up 5 times to receive such a large bonus.

It's important to understand that mental strength, as a special attribute, is not only important for professions like mages and warlocks.

The endurance of long-term battles, the energy required to unleash skills, and the power of skill bursts are all related to mental strength.

At the same time, there is something else that no one can ignore that is also affected by mental power...

life!

"There's still a little left; hopefully, we can achieve perfection."

Chen Ming could sense that his process of 'absorbing attributes' was nearing its limit.

In other words, he is about to reach perfection at the stage of awakening his skills with 20% mental power.

There is actually a limit to how rare resources a job can absorb, and this limit varies from person to person.

However, most people don't need to consider this issue because they simply can't reach the upper limit.

"I wonder what skills will awaken after pushing it to its limit."

Psychological attack?

Or is it the spiritual realm that only advanced job changers can awaken to?

However, Chen Ming was certain that it was definitely not weak.

Moreover, it will most likely come with a noble armor-piercing attribute!

[Mental Strength +1!]

Progress 91%

...

[Mental Strength +1!]

Progress 92%!

......

at last.

[Mental Strength +1!]

Progress 100%!

The moment he absorbed the last bit of attribute energy, Chen Ming felt completely refreshed!

An extremely comfortable feeling surged into my brain.

His consciousness returned to his body, and he suddenly opened his eyes, which were bright.

Before he could even open his job panel, a notification popped up.

[Mental potential value has reached 20%]

[The absorption of spiritual resources has reached its limit—]

[Do you want to immediately awaken 'mental skills'?]

Looking at the notification that seemed to appear "eagerly" in front of me.

Without any hesitation, Chen Ming chose 'Awakening'!

next moment......

puff--

A sound like dry firewood being ignited by a raging fire was particularly clear in the quiet room.

Chen Ming was 'ignited'.

The physical sense.

On the bed, Chen Ming stared in astonishment at his own body.

Real flames began to emerge from his mouth, nose, and even from the pores of his entire body.

These pale blue flames were translucent, appearing both real and illusory.

[You have successfully awakened the SSS-rank skill: Spirit Annihilation!]

Chen Ming's eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid.

SSS-level?!

Upon reaching its limit, it actually awakened an SSS-level mental skill!

He quickly opened the panel to check.

[Spiritual Annihilation (lv.0)]

Passive basic attack ability——

The permanent Ascendancy attack form is "Annihilation Attack," which applies three layers of effects: Enchantment, Armor Penetration, and Attack Stacking!

"Sublimation of attack form, what kind of ability is that?"

Chen Ming raised an eyebrow; these words made him feel that this ability was not simple.

He looked at the three effects behind him, which were described in detail.

[Annihilation Enchantment]: Any attack that hits the target will inflict an additional 1% mental damage!

"Hmm, enchanted attack."

Chen Ming squinted his eyes in thought.

This is a very good ability.

You can deal mental damage directly without using mental attacks.

This means that all of Chen Ming's attacks from now on will be both physical and mental damage.

This double damage is what makes enemies so troublesome!

Hard to guard against.

Moreover, Chen Ming's mental strength is extremely high.

After absorbing all the spiritual resources this time, his spiritual power has exceeded 1500 points!

If facing enemies with weaker mental strength.

The physical battle might not even be over before the spirit dies first.

"not bad."

Chen Ming then looked at the next effect.

[Annihilation - Armor Penetration]: After any form of attack hits a target, the target's armor penetration attribute is increased by 100%, and the armor penetration effect is permanent!

"100% armor penetration?"

Chen Ming's eyes lit up, and he became alert.

I originally thought the previous 20% armor penetration was already very strong, and it was part of the skill preview.

The result was a pleasant surprise for him.

But he quickly figured it out.

That 20% armor penetration attribute comes from attracting the Azure Flame Blaze. If he hadn't obtained and absorbed the final Azure Flame Blaze, then after awakening his spiritual skill, the armor penetration attribute would probably have been 20%.

However, Chen Ming did not expect it to be enhanced so much.

100% armor penetration, doesn't that mean his future attacks will completely ignore defense?!

There's no need to even look for weaknesses in battle anymore.

Because, in essence, attacking a weakness is an armor-piercing attack.

What? You say you have no weaknesses?

Then I'll create a weakness for you!

One strike, and the defense is broken.

"Hmm, now that's more like the power of an SSS-rank skill."

Chen Ming nodded in satisfaction.

With 100% armor penetration, the range of combat against enemies of higher levels can be greatly expanded.

Then, he checked the final result.

[Annihilation - Stacked Attack]: After dealing damage to any target with a single attack, increase own attack damage by 100%, up to a maximum of 10000%! (Duration: one hour)

"How many?!"

Chen Ming sat up abruptly.

I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn't seeing things.

"Hiss... 10000% attack damage cap?!"

Chen Ming was aware of skills that stacked attack damage.

Some warriors or assassins who have changed their professions possess this ability.

However, all Chen Ming knew was that the attack cap could be increased by 30% or 50% at most, up to a maximum of 100%.

Moreover, it can only be achieved under specific conditions.

However, now, his annihilation attack's stacking mechanism can stack 100% at once!

What kind of terrifying, explosive growth is this?

"Oh right, it also has armor penetration!"

Chen Ming suddenly realized that this ability could also be combined with 100% armor penetration.

Calculated based on double the damage caused by armor penetration.

The maximum true attack damage of [Annihilation - Stacked Attack] should be doubled again.

Chen Ming's lips twitched, and he subconsciously swallowed.

"No wonder they dare to call it an elevated form of attack."

"This is treating normal attacks as skills."

This annihilation attack, without a doubt...

He can be called a god in one-on-one combat!

Once fully stacked, Chen Ming himself couldn't imagine how terrifying the combat power would be.

One strike deals 20000% attack damage.

Can you bear this?
