Panlong: My Auto-Level Training System

Chapter 24 Wearing Brocade in the Dark? Better to Return Home in Glory

After carefully considering his abilities, Karl turned his attention to his attribute panel.

There are few changes in this aspect, except for an additional physical growth progress in cultivation, and an ability called [Initial Sacred Body].

According to the "Beginner's Guide," this so-called "Initial Sacred Body" is also a major consumer of points. The key is that if you don't continue to invest in it, this so-called Sacred Body will gradually lose its effectiveness in the future, and continuous investment is obviously a considerable expense.

After all, according to the "beginner's guide", when you obtain the Holy Body, your physical body will grow to the Holy Domain level. This is a physique that can directly contend with a newly entered Holy Domain expert with just your physical body. But in reality, after truly entering the Holy Domain, who would be foolish enough to just cultivate battle qi?

Just as theoretically, a magical beast that has just entered the Holy Realm can only be compared to a human in the middle stage of the Holy Realm in terms of paper strength, but in reality, the magical beast that can enter the Holy Realm has a much higher level of intelligence than ordinary people. Its long lifespan brings unimaginable wisdom. Otherwise, why would there be a saying that it is as intelligent as a demon?

Given just a little time, those magical beasts that have just entered the Holy Realm will be able to quickly comprehend their own unique power of heaven and earth.

In this situation, relying on the physical body, battle qi, and the power of heaven and earth at the Saint-level, the combined strength of a Saint-level magical beast that can master the power of heaven and earth is comparable to that of a typical peak Saint-level expert, compared to a human Saint-level who lacks a Saint-level physical body.

As for those Saint-level magical beasts with stronger bloodline talents and more robust physical bodies, they are stronger than ordinary peak Saint-level beings without comprehending profound mysteries, but the difference is limited. After all, the ultimate power in this world is still the law.

After Karl comprehended the element of wind, he discovered that the cultivation gap at the peak of the Saint Realm was enormous, from the initial comprehension of the profound mysteries to the imminent mastery of those mysteries.

Judging from the system's progress, Karl belongs to the one in a million among the wind element. As for those Saint-level limit powerhouses, although Karl is not clear about their specific level of comprehension, the Saint-level limit can be said to be able to become a god at any time. Their comprehension progress is probably as high as 990,000 or more, and it is even possible that they are only one in a million away from the profound mastery.

This gap made Karl want to quietly draw a clear distinction among the peak Saint Realm experts, but when he thought that he had never even met any other Saint Realm experts, he silently gave up on the idea.

"It seems we can't keep working in isolation any longer; it's time to go out and explore."

Based solely on his battle qi cultivation and his comprehension of the profound mysteries of the wind element (one in a million), Karl's strength could only be considered as the threshold of entering the peak of the Saint Realm. However, with his Saint Realm-level physical body, his strength in close combat was at least a hundred times stronger than before.

After all, a level nine warrior's physical body is comparable to that of a level six warrior. And after entering the Saint Realm, the physical strength of a Saint Realm expert is generally no less than that of a level eight warrior. Even a mage who doesn't cultivate his body much will gradually improve his physical strength after achieving the Saint Realm.

While the difference between an eighth-level warrior and a Saint-level warrior isn't a direct hundredfold increase, the physical improvement brings about a sixty or seventyfold increase in each of the following: speed, reaction time, strength, defense, and endurance. Only when all these factors are combined can an overall strength increase by a hundredfold.

"If I'm not mistaken, the physical strength of the first-generation ultimate warrior should have increased a hundredfold in all aspects. Only with this combined strength could he be comparable to some veteran peak Saint Realm experts when he first entered the Saint Realm. After he mastered the power of heaven and earth, I'm afraid even Saint Realm limit experts would have to avoid his edge."

"And I remember that the Chosen One only received a boost of about sixty times when he became a Dragonblood Warrior."

Each aspect can be improved by more than sixty times, and the overall improvement is actually more than a hundred times. However, when this improvement is placed at the Saint Realm level, its value will naturally be greatly reduced. After all, speed relies on flight, and no Saint Realm level expert will jump around on the ground with you. As for reaction, unless you can appear next to a Saint Realm expert in an instant, no matter how fast you are, a Saint Realm expert can react in time.

In Karl's view, the only truly usable aspects of a Saint-level physical body are pure strength and defense. However, a 60-70 fold increase means that Karl's close-range attacks have increased by 60-70 fold. If the attack power brought by this multiplier is not stronger than Karl's strength by a hundred times, then the only option is to avoid its sharp edge.

Even with his defense amplified by sixty or seventy times, Karl was capable of withstanding attacks from those a hundred times stronger than himself.

"A hundredfold increase in strength? It's more accurate to say that those who are a hundred times stronger than me will simply place me on the same level."

Karl saw through everything and understood that perhaps when he grasped one percent of the profound mysteries, relying on his Saint-level physical body, his strength would probably not be weaker than that of an ordinary Saint-level peak expert.

"And all of this is just the improvement brought about by the initial stage of the Holy Body."

Karl couldn't help but glance at the ability belonging to the Holy Body.

[Initial Holy Body (1/5,000,000)]

With a cultivation progress of five million, based on Karl's daily cultivation progress of one point, just seeing this progress bar made Karl's eyes go dark. That's a long period of 13,698 years, while he has only lived for three hundred years. He would have to go through that long period of time forty-five more times to barely get close to it.

The long progress bar is why Karl said that although this ability seems very strong, if you don't continue to invest in it, this sacred body will gradually lose its effect.

"I don't have the ability to create garbage; it's just that I've been too short-sighted."

Karl gradually came to his senses and looked up at the sky, which was not only the sky of the Yulan Continent, but also the highest point on the Yulan Continent.

Currently, there are three publicly known god-level powerhouses on the Yulan Continent. The first is the High Priest of the Yulan Empire, who became a god during the War of Annihilation, more than 8,000 years ago. The second is the God of War of the O'Brien Empire, but he is a refined god with limited growth potential. The third is the Plane Guardian, Hordan, but he comes from the God Plane and cannot be a native god-level powerhouse.

Based on his understanding of these two god-level powerhouses, the High Priest became a god on his own and was a life-type god-level powerhouse capable of comprehending the rules of life. His talent was obviously extremely high. However, due to the scarcity of information about those above the god-level on the Yulan Continent, the High Priest was trapped in a predicament of working in isolation, unable to see the way forward, and could only struggle to explore the path of life. As for why he did not leave the Yulan Continent, Karl had the answer in his heart.
