Panlong: My Auto-Level Training System

Chapter 22: The Choice of Future Paths

Perhaps in the system's eyes, the peak level of the Saint Realm already possesses a certain strength and is capable of developing in multiple directions.

Firstly, it can be described as the path of elements. With Karl's current resources, he could easily cultivate eleven elements at the same time, but now he obviously doesn't have many choices; it's just one more element.

Secondly, there is the path of self-improvement, because Karl saw the option of physical cultivation in the shop.

【Name: Constitutional Growth】

Price: 50000000

[Description: Your body will experience endless growth]

This price can be described as extremely expensive, considering that the purchase price of the Wind Element Mystery is only ten million, while the Physique Growth is as high as fifty million.

However, this price is something Karl can consider.

Having lived in this world for three hundred years, and with the original novel experiencing a period of decline after its initial popularity, Karl's memory has been greatly enhanced. However, he still has many things he can't understand or see regarding his past life's memories, perhaps due to the changes brought about by the different world. Nevertheless, Karl still remembers some important things.

In my memory, one of the methods of transcendence in the Panlong Universe has already been proven: by gathering the elements of earth, wind, water, and fire to become a lower-level god of the same level, one can achieve the Xuanhuang body and unravel the secrets of the universe. This is why Karl did not choose the rule of destruction when choosing the ultimate attack, at least leaving himself a glimmer of hope.

Beyond transcendence, and without considering soul mutation, Karl is just an ordinary human, unable to gain an advantage among his peers on the Yulan Continent, given the powerful bloodlines that once existed there.

For example, the human faction has seen four ultimate warriors, including the Dragonblood Warrior. Similarly, in the Warcraft faction, powerful Warcraft possess extremely strong bloodlines. Although these bloodlines also limit them, the power of Warcraft cannot be denied.

After all, according to common sense in the Yulan Continent, a magical beast that has just entered the Saint Realm is comparable in strength to a mid-stage Saint Realm expert, and those with stronger bloodlines are even comparable to the peak of the Saint Realm.

Karl was well aware that a strong physique led to a higher ceiling for strength. Even though this advantage could be compensated for after becoming a god, a strong physique was still an advantage with extremely high rank.

In Karl's somewhat vague memory, there seemed to be a powerful figure with an extremely strong physique who had gained the attention of the main god when he was still a lower-level god.

"A strong physique means that I am stronger than others of the same level. Once I reach the limit of my own ability, this extra advantage will become the upper limit of my strength compared to other strong individuals of the same level."

Karl pondered for a moment, glanced at the other elemental laws, and finally focused his attention on this physical growth.

Fifty million points vanished without a trace, and even Karl, with his vast wealth and power, couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. While thinking that he must accelerate the improvement of his territory's power, he watched helplessly as the item related to physical growth in the shop turned into a scarlet light, which was slowly approaching him.

The moment [Physical Growth] slowly merged into his body, Karl felt the changes in his body.

"It's stronger now."

A level six warrior's full-force attack, unleashing his battle aura, is almost equivalent to the pure physical strength of a level nine warrior. Even if a Saint-level expert's body has undergone a transformation and their physical strength has increased, they still cannot achieve the physical strength of a Saint-level expert.

However, when Karl fused with [Physical Growth], he captured the change in that instant, when his body was growing rapidly.

Before long, Karl felt his body strength break through the ninth level of care and officially reach the Saint Realm level.

Karl clenched his fist and carefully felt the changes his body was experiencing.

"With a physical body at the Saint-level, I can unleash even more battle qi. With my physical strength now, if I only use battle qi, my strength is no less than that of a mid-Saint-level expert. If I add my own power of heaven and earth to this, my strength is probably no less than that of a peak Saint-level expert."

Karl muttered to himself, his heart filled with excitement. As expected of something worth fifty million points, it not only brought Karl a higher ceiling but also provided him with extremely high strength.

After all, there is a fundamental logic in the Panlong universe, which is energy.

A lower-level god can regard the Holy Realm as an ant, only because even a trace of the power of a lower-level god exceeds the Holy Realm's lifetime accumulation limit.

However, if they are at the same level, even a Saint Realm expert at the peak would find it difficult to instantly kill a Saint Realm expert who is prepared, unless the difference in strength between the two is indeed extremely large.

This situation arises because of the fundamental logic of the Panlong Universe.

For example, if a newly entered Saint Realm expert's battle qi burst is ten, then it can offset a battle qi attack of ten. The same principle can also be used in the mid-Saint Realm.

For example, if a mid-stage Saint Realm expert unleashes a power of 100, then an energy of the same level is needed to counteract it. Therefore, if the human faction wants to fight against a mid-stage Saint Realm expert, they need at least someone who is extremely close to the mid-stage Saint Realm. However, the situation is different for the monster faction.

The monsters in the Holy Domain possess powerful bodies. Even those who have just entered the Holy Domain can unleash even stronger battle qi by virtue of their physical strength. With the mutual amplification of their physical body and battle qi, they are able to unleash attacks of the level one hundred.

This logic leads to a Saint-level expert with an attack power of 10 unleashing an attack power of 10. As the defender, there are two ways to defend against it. One is to attack in response to attack, also unleashing an attack power of 10 to wear down the opponent's attack. The other is to build up a defense on one's body. This defensive method does not require a defense power of 10, but relies on battle qi and one's own strength to reach a combined strength of 10.

Therefore, to truly defeat a Saint-level powerhouse, at least one condition must be met.

That means your attack power must be greater than the opponent's attack or defense. Only in this way can you still have residual energy to attack yourself after wearing down the opponent's methods.

Karl's physical strength has now reached the Saint-level, which does not mean that he can accumulate more battle qi, but rather that he can unleash more battle qi at the same time.

For example, Karl's previous full-force attack could consume 10% of his battle qi and unleash ten times the power, while now Karl can easily unleash an attack that consumes 30% of his battle qi, and its power is more than thirty times greater.

Moreover, a strong physique means that Karl consumes less energy for the same amount of attack, and he can also resist stronger attacks in defense.
