The outstanding performance of the Phantom Combo Strike further solidified Jiang Chen’s thoughts.
“The modules brought by Shida can serve as supplements to match with the existing ones, combining them into sets...”
“By diversifying in this manner, I can compensate for the mecha’s shortcomings.”
“However, the true core modules must still come from my own battles.”
The reason is simple.
The modules produced by a mecha pilot killing abyssal monsters are usually suited for immediate use by the pilot themselves.
And the effects, attributes, and rank of the modules are related to the strength of the abyssal monsters.
This leads to the situation where, if a low-ranked mecha pilot kills a high-ranked monster, they may drop a module that normally couldn’t be equipped on a low-ranked mecha—like a time module.
Then, the requirement for equipping that module would correspondingly decrease.
For example...
In the 7th and 8th levels of the Age-Old Shadow from Planet Blue Star’s civilization, one can obtain space and time related ability modules.
However, the mecha pilots who clear these shadows are all 7th or 8th Rank mecha pilots.
Therefore, the modules they produce usually require three upgrades before they can be equipped.
They are what is called high rank modules on Planet Blue Star.
But if Jiang Chen himself defeats these monsters and obtains the corresponding modules,
the requirement drops to one upgrade, turning it into a “gradeless” high-quality module.
“It’s only to be expected...”
“Modules acquired through purchase come with rank limitations based on their power and strength; it’s only logical they can’t be equipped on low-ranked mecha.”
“But if I’ve personally defeated a high-ranked monster, it would be utterly illogical to remain unable to equip high-rank modules...”
Currently, as a 3rd Rank mecha pilot, Jiang Chen is already capable of defeating 9th Rank abyssal monsters.
He can even bring down weaker 10th Rank common monsters.
The highest rank of module he can obtain from them could require four upgrades.
Other civilization’s mecha pilots, even the chosen ones from the Rebirth Civilization, couldn’t possibly achieve this at 3rd Rank.
To drop a module that requires four upgrades, you would need to be at least twice upgraded.
Therefore.
The high-rank modules Jiang Chen personally produces are highly sought after, even by ancient civilizations.
Perfect for upgrading his own mecha.
On the contrary, the mecha modules he had initially planned to use for mecha upgrades upon acquiring them from Shida,
could now only be considered as reserves.
If there’s no better choice, then they might have the opportunity to advance.
“I can grind a few more legendary rounds in the Endless Deathmatch Arena and produce more high-rank quality modules,”
“Zero, Yun, and Yuu are about to undergo their second upgrade.”
“I need to take advantage of the last moments to gather more resources.”
The Phantom Combo Strike has excellent attributes, and it’s also a close-combat module.
Jiang Chen directly allowed Yun to equip it for use, planning to fully absorb it upon her rank advancement.
With a single module change, the other attribute modules were also slightly adjusted to maintain a dynamic balance.
After these updates,
Jiang Chen then turned to look at Vitaz.
She was floating nearby, wearing her hood, looking sleepy and listless.
“Do you need something?”
Vitaz was enjoying the swift growth brought about by sleep—
From the time the contract was established, she had only slept for about twenty days.
Jiang Chen’s full attributes had surged from under 10 billion to over 20 billion!
An increase of over ten times!
Wasn’t this growth rate much faster than before?
As she was able to share in this growth through the effects of Mecha Soul Fusion, she had become completely addicted to it.
Now, she felt a tingling sensation throughout her body after just a short pause in growth.
She yearned to level up, to fall unconscious.
Even if it meant being overwhelmingly filled with Life Force Energy, it was still growth!
They could accompany him and grow through battle.
If Vitaz did not enjoy combat, there was no need to force her to refine combat skills and participate in mecha challenges.
Just staying at home, reading some books, taking some medicines, and exploring talents would suffice.
As for the spatial knowledge to learn...
Although Vitaz was a spirit of the Void and naturally able to control space,
Her understanding of space might not necessarily be stronger than other Void creatures.
Compared to human civilization, it was even less so—
Humans could also utilize various technological devices, magic tools, and even martial arts or immortal techniques to mimic spatial abilities through knowledge.
The mastery of space by those ancient civilizations even reached an extremely high level.
An [Interstellar Transmission Device] that could instantly traverse tens of billions of light-years to reach the other end of the universe.
It was merely a basic means of transportation to them.
Even, it was classified as [Basic Knowledge].
Once Vitaz gradually learned and mastered this spatial knowledge and principles,
With her exceptionally outstanding talent and the enhanced mecha soul,
She would surely be able to evolve her [Void Annihilation] talent to an even higher realm!
“Hmm...”
“Void Annihilation may not be just a simple spatial talent; it may also involve elements like entropy increases, and entropy annihilation...”
“Apart from spatial knowledge, I’ll organize a complete set of knowledge for Vitaz to learn later on.”
“Given her base attributes, her learning progress cannot be slow, she has much to learn.”
...
Having handled the issue of Vitaz’s talent growth,
Jiang Chen retracted the mechas back into the Abyss Rune and returned to sit down in the yard.
His spiritual soul detached and once again headed for the Endless Deathmatch Arena at the Purgatory level.
Zero, Yun, and Yuu were still quite a distance away from the threshold of awakening their talents and thus needed to continue refining their mecha souls.
Upon arriving at the Endless Deathmatch Arena, he immediately performed Mecha Soul Fusion to enhance attribute strength.
Then he started the mecha challenge.
Yun was a 3rd Rank mecha; after switching to the Phantom Combo Strike module, it gained a phantom.
This was equivalent to doubling the attack speed, greatly increasing the output, and coordinated with the Mythical Specialization of Zero and Yuu, they soon achieved victory.
After watching one match, Jiang Chen didn’t linger any longer.
Using Void Traversing, he entered the interior of the other half of the venue.
He had not fully absorbed the Shattered Space Dragon Primordial Blood, and the progress for [Mythical Specialization] upgrade was still at 1/10.
It was time to go one step further.
Just as Jiang Chen stepped into the arena,
A tidal wave of cheers erupted.
High above the Ring Mountain Range, there emerged the shadow of a six-armed Asura clad in gold armor.
He sat back as if sitting upon a throne.
The face with red fangs and fierce ghostly eyes silently watched over the arena.
The green-faced ferocious demon, full of excitement, spoke up.
“We welcome Lord Asura to observe this infinite challenge!”
“Purgatory Elites, take the stage!”
A shooting star crossed the sky and fell within the arena.
A four-armed serpent-headed and serpent-tailed creature straightened up, flicking out its tongue.
[Encountered Legendary Overlord: Naga Asura]
[Basic Attribute Strength: 2.9 billion.]
“...”
With Purgatory Asura watching, is this how legendary overlord encounters begin?
Is this the effect of being renowned across the Infinite Purgatory with an increased chance of encountering Legendary Overlords?
Do all other mecha pilots challenge in this manner?
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile, stretching his body and drawing his weapon from the Abyss Rune.
This was just too good.
“Begin the challenge!”
