After upgrading his Profession Level of Heavenly Destiny Master, Zhang Yanhang quickly started to examine the Skill Effects of the skill he had just acquired. First up was Heavenly Earth Transformation; even the name suggested it was bound to be powerful.

[Heavenly Earth Transformation LV.1 (Active Skill)]

[Active Effect: After skill activation, the Heavenly Destiny Master can freely transform (enlarge) his body up to a maximum of 200% [currently 4 meters], with Power Effect increased by 50%. No cooldown, consumes a small amount of Physical Strength.]

"This Heavenly Earth Transformation, how should I put it—the skill description is quite succinct, but the Skill Effect is equally simple and brutal. It allows my body to enlarge and, at the same time, also boosts my Strength. At just LV.1, it can amplify my body size by 200% and Power Effect by 50%, completely outclassing the Giant Transformation and Frenzy Skill I obtained before."

Zhang Yanhang guessed that he received this Heavenly Earth Transformation likely because he frequently used the Giant Transformation and Frenzy Skill before. If that really was the case, he had to marvel at the custom service of Heavenly Destiny Master, which indeed provided him a highly compatible Professional Skill.

"Speaking of which, can I stack this Heavenly Earth Transformation with Giant Transformation and Frenzy Skill? If I can, wouldn't my body size directly surge to twenty meters?"

Zhang Yanhang's intuition told him this possibility was highly probable.

After reviewing the Skill Effect of Heavenly Earth Transformation, Zhang Yanhang quickly started to examine another Professional Skill, Three-Headed Six-Armed.

[Three-Headed Six-Armed LV.1 (Active Skill)]

[Active Effect: After skill activation, the Heavenly Destiny Master can create additional limbs by expending 375×3 [number of limbs] = 1125 Energy Value. Current limbs that can be created: one head [already created: 0], two arms [already created: 0].

The Heavenly Destiny Master's limbs created by Three-Headed Six-Armed are treated as real limbs, with effects identical to the Heavenly Destiny Master's own limbs. When the main head of the Heavenly Destiny Master is destroyed, the main consciousness will automatically transfer to the secondary head and transform it into the main head.

Limbs generated by Three-Headed Six-Armed can be regenerated by spending Energy Value with no cooldown, costing 375 Energy Value per additional limb.

Limbs created by Three-Headed Six-Armed will exist permanently but require a small amount of Physical Strength to manifest and are usually hidden.

When limbs are manifested, they provide a 10%×4 [number of arms] = 40% Physical Attack bonus, and a 20%×2 [number of heads] = 40% Energy Attack bonus.]

"So strong, although this Three-Headed Six-Armed's skill description is a bit complicated compared to the previous Heavenly Earth Transformation, it really is powerful...

Now with this skill, I don't have to fear getting a headshot anymore. If the enemy blasts my head, my consciousness will automatically transfer to the extra generated head, and that extra head will be considered my own.

This means my original extra head is as good as gone, considered destroyed, while destroyed limbs can be instantly regenerated with no cooldown, all for just a mere 375 Energy Value.

Theoretically, even if the enemy keeps blasting my head, as long as my regeneration speed is faster than their rate of destruction, I will never die. It's really powerful."

Zhang Yanhang felt that the two skills he acquired this time, Heavenly Earth Transformation and Three-Headed Six-Armed, were definitely just as powerful as the Technique Immunity, further proving that the Professional Skills of the Heavenly Destiny Master are indeed ridiculously strong.

"Moreover, the convenient part about Three-Headed Six-Armed is that when it's not in use, I can simply hide it and only manifest them when needed. It won't cause any inconvenience."

Zhang Yanhang thought this feature was incredibly convenient and user-friendly. Otherwise, walking down the street with so many arms and heads would turn you into the absolute focus of passersby. Although he didn't particularly care about others' stares, it would still be somewhat embarrassing.

"Additionally, after manifestation, these limbs provide bonuses to Physical Attack and Energy Attack. However, why does it show that I have four arms and two heads?

Is it counting my own two arms and one head?

That would be good; I got some bonus for free, not bad at all."

Including his own limbs and head, Zhang Yanhang could now obtain a total of 40% in both Physical Attack and Energy Attack bonuses. The extent of the bonuses was quite exaggerated, especially considering this was just LV.1, with no upgrades yet. If these were to be upgraded, the related bonuses could immediately soar to over 100%.

"Since I've already got such powerful skills, indeed I can't go without upgrading them now. Choose! Skill Level Enhancement."

After reviewing the newly acquired effects of Heavenly Earth Transformation and Three-Headed Six-Armed, Zhang Yanhang couldn't wait to trigger the skill enhancement options.

As Time Pause descended, a familiar array of text options materialized before Zhang Yanhang, only now, this array had grown even longer compared to before.

[Proceed with Skill Level Enhancement?]

[Option One: 'Gun Mastery LV.6' to 'Gun Mastery LV.7' (Costs 204800 Soul points.)]

...

[Option Five: 'Limitless Universe Skill[Second Tier]LV.MAX' to 'Limitless Universe Skill[Third Tier]LV.1' (Costs 50000 Soul points.)]

[Option Six: 'Alchemy' to 'Alchemy·Original' (Costs 2 Ash Source points)]

...

[Option Ten: 'Heavenly Earth Transformation LV.1' to 'Heavenly Earth Transformation LV.2' (Costs 6400 Soul points.)]

[Option Eleven: 'Three-Headed Six-Armed LV.1' to 'Three-Headed Six-Armed LV.2' (Costs 6400 Soul points.)]

"Hmm, does it really only take 6,400 soul points to upgrade Heavenly Earth Transformation and Three-Headed Six-Armed from LV.1 to LV.2?"

Zhang Yanhang had initially hoped that these skills, like those he'd acquired before, could be upgraded directly to LV.MAX with just tens of thousands of soul points. However, upon reflection, he realized that it wasn't very likely for such powerful skills to reach LV.MAX with merely that many soul points.

"Besides Heavenly Earth Transformation and Three-Headed Six-Armed, the advancement options for my Limitless Universe Skill and Alchemy have also opened up due to the promotion in rank. Unfortunately, I can't afford the upgrade; to raise Alchemy to the Original Stage would require two Ash Sources, and right now, I don't have a single Ash Source, let alone two."

Zhang Yanhang felt that he must strive to acquire more Ash Sources in the future.

"As for the Limitless Universe Skill, I could upgrade it, but at most it would be a forced upgrade. These 50,000 soul points might not seem like a lot, but based on my past experience, they're just a stepping stone for promotion. After the upgrade, the Limitless Universe Skill's level would only be LV.1.

And to continue upgrading and thereby gain attribute bonuses, I would need to invest even more soul points. Generally speaking, the soul point requirement for upgrading the Limitless Universe Skill tends to be higher than that for the profession levels of Heavenly Destiny Master..."

Right now, Zhang Yanhang couldn't even raise his profession level for Heavenly Destiny Master, let alone the Limitless Universe Skill which required even more soul points. Therefore, he could only contemplate the possibility of upgrading the Limitless Universe Skill. If he wanted to advance to the Third Tier, he would have to wait until he had amassed more soul points.

Fortunately, Zhang Yanhang had not expected to immediately advance the Limitless Universe Skill to the Third Tier upon his rank promotion, so this was not a big issue. After all, it was only after clearing the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu that he had gathered enough soul points needed for the Limitless Universe Skill's promotion.

"So, the question arises, which should I upgrade first: Heavenly Earth Transformation or Three-Headed Six-Armed?"

After some careful thought, Zhang Yanhang decided that he should raise Three-Headed Six-Armed first; mainly, he was curious to see if advancing it to LV.6 would result in an additional head and two more arms.

With just two heads and four arms, it felt somewhat incongruous to him; a proper 'Three-Headed Six-Armed' appearance would be more aesthetically pleasing. Otherwise, a 'Two-Headed Four-Armed' figure would seem more like the work of demons and ghosts.

"So, I choose Option Eleven, to enhance Three-Headed Six-Armed LV.1 to Three-Headed Six-Armed LV.2." After making up his mind, Zhang Yanhang quickly made his choice, and with it, Time Pause also instantly vanished.

...

October 29, Thursday, four days after the Double Ninth Festival and also the first day that Zhang Yanhang had left Ashen World, 6:15 AM, Qin Island City, Xingfuli District, Apartment 505, bedroom.

Owing to a balance of soul points that was barely adequate, Zhang Yanhang successfully upgraded Three-Headed Six-Armed to the LV.6 stage, without succumbing halfway due to a shortfall of soul points.

However, Zhang Yanhang was somewhat disappointed that after reaching LV.6, Three-Headed Six-Armed did not trigger options related to additional attributes, indicating that it's a skill that provides fixed rewards.

And because Three-Headed Six-Armed didn't trigger any options for additional attributes, Zhang Yanhang did not rush to check the skill effect of the upgraded LV.6 but first checked his soul point balance.

How many soul points he had left was of significant concern to him, as it was critical to whether or not he could also upgrade Heavenly Earth Transformation to LV.6.

Soul Points: 205746 (-198400)

"Sigh, good thing I didn't consider raising my Profession Level to LV.24 earlier, or else I might really have run out of soul points.

I didn't expect that just upgrading Three-Headed Six-Armed to LV.6 would consume 198,400 soul points, bringing my soul points balance down from the original four hundred thousand to now two hundred thousand."

Zhang Yanhang realized during the upgrade process that the consumption of soul points for leveling up Three-Headed Six-Armed was actually the same as for other skills; rather, it was the same as for other skills in the Original Stage, consuming 6400, 12800, 25600, 51200, and 102400 soul points respectively, from LV.1 to LV.6.

Although Zhang Yanhang wasn't too familiar with the first three upgrade requirements, the last two were all too familiar. After all, his other skills in the past required 51200 soul points plus a bit of Ash Source to advance to Original LV.6, and then another 102400 soul points to promote to Original LV.6.

Now it's simply a matter of not needing a promotion, hence the slight saving on Ash Source, otherwise, everything else is indeed exactly the same.

"It seems that because I've been promoted to Third Tier, I automatically obtained a high-level skill from the same stage as the Original."

Zhang Yanhang had originally thought he might be able to save some soul points to level up something else, but now it seemed that his remaining soul points balance would just barely be enough to also raise Heavenly Earth Transformation to LV.6.

After checking his remaining soul points, Zhang Yanhang quickly opened up the skill effect of Three-Headed Six-Armed LV.6 and began to examine it in detail.

Three-Headed Six-Armed LV.6 (Active Skill)

Active Effect: Upon skill activation, Heavenly Destiny Master can create additional limbs by expending 750 (+375) × 6 (+3) [number of limbs] = 4500 points (+3375 points) of Energy Value. Limbs currently creatable: Skulls ×2 (+1) [Currently generated: 0], Arms ×4 (+2) [Currently generated: 0].

Limbs created by Heavenly Destiny Master utilizing Three-Headed Six-Armed are treated as real limbs and can exert effects identical to Heavenly Destiny Master's own limbs. When the primary skull of Heavenly Destiny Master is destroyed, the main consciousness will automatically transfer to a secondary skull and transform it into the primary skull of Heavenly Destiny Master.

When limbs generated by Three-Headed Six-Armed are destroyed, they can be regenerated by expending Energy Value, with no cooldown period, and each additional limb uses 750 (+375) points of Energy Value.

Limbs created using Three-Headed Six-Armed will exist permanently, but manifesting them requires an additional minor expenditure of Physical Strength and they normally remain in a hidden state.

When limbs are manifested, they provide 60% (+50%) × 6 (+2) [number of arms] = 360% (+320%) Physical Attack Bonus, 120% (+100%) × 3 (+1) [number of skulls] = 360% (+320%) Energy Attack Bonus.

Additional Attributes: Copper Head Iron Forehead—When skulls are manifested, there is a further 60% increase in Attack Power.

"Hmm? The Energy Value consumption still increases alongside the skill level? Although it's quite normal, isn't this increase too much? It's doubled, from the original 375 points to 750 points. This means to generate all six limbs, I'll need 4500 points of Energy Value.

I only had just under three thousand points of Energy Value before my Rank promotion. If I had obtained Three-Headed Six-Armed at Second Order, I probably wouldn't have been able to use it due to insufficient Energy Value requirements."

But now, after all, he had been promoted, and although he hadn't had time to check his current Energy Value limit, Zhang Yanhang was absolutely confident that he could reach over four thousand five hundred points, and even over five thousand points, should be no problem at all.
