Chapter 31

Ten times! Is this my limit?

Increasing a magic that originally contained one unit of magical elements to ten units, I wonder if the power is also ten times as strong.

Controlling the Thunderlight Bomb to fall, but before it even hit the ground, my mental strength couldn't control it anymore. The lightning magic elements inside began to rebel. How fast are lightning elements? The explosion started almost simultaneously with losing control.

"Boom..." The Thunderlight Bomb exploded. Usually, it would be a single loud bang, but this time it was a series of continuous bangs with echoes.

I pushed it too far. Fortunately, I acted quickly; if it had exploded earlier, I would have been in danger. I can't play like this next time, Liu Siyi warned himself.

I've cast the third-tier area-of-effect magic, Thunderlight Bomb, more than once. It usually flickers like an electric snake, just like ripples on a lake when a gentle breeze blows, dazzling and deadly. But this time, the electric snakes turned into raging dragons, churning the lake, filled with a brutal aura.

After a long time, the power of the magic gradually weakened and returned to calm.

But Liu Siyi couldn't remain calm.

After the enhanced Thunderlight Bomb hit, the once lush grassland was now scorched and smelly. What made him even more uneasy was that all thirteen unicorns were lying on the ground, their bodies scorched, clearly dead.

It seems that the power of magic is more than just 1+1=2.

Think about it, for ordinary people, if they can do twenty reps with a twenty-pound dumbbell, asking them to do one rep with a four-hundred-pound dumbbell is impossible without divine help.

"The power of this magic should be comparable to a fifth-tier magic," Liu Siyi looked at the scorched area in shock, mentally calculating the magic power consumed this time. But he immediately shook his head. With the existence of the Lightning Rune, a pseudo-artifact, and the skill enhancement, the magic consumption was less than that of an ordinary third-tier magic.

But it's a pity, sixth-tier unicorns. They are sixth-tier units. At first, Liu Siyi had hoped to capture them, only resorting to killing if he couldn't. Now, he didn't need to think anymore; he could just finish them off.

The battle ended, and the unique red evolution power of the sixth-tier units floated out from the unicorn corpses and entered Liu Siyi's body.

This time, there were only thirteen evolution light balls, but the evolution power of the powerful sixth-tier units was very strong. As soon as the surging power entered his body, he felt numbness, soreness, pain, and a feeling of being about to explode. His head felt like it was splitting, and he didn't have the pleasant feeling he had during previous upgrades.

Liu Siyi knew that the more intense the feeling, the more evolution power, and the stronger the increase in strength. Under the protection of the law, there would be no problems. However, the process of upgrading was not pleasant. The numbness from being electrocuted, the soreness from ants crawling all over his body, and the intense pain from rapid growth, especially the feeling of his brain exploding like a watermelon... it was best not to think about it.

Fortunately, each upgrade didn't take long, and enduring it helped strengthen his willpower.

Soon, Liu Siyi's body emitted a faint green light, characteristic of a third-tier unit. With the appearance of this light, a wonderful feeling of being full of energy and refreshed returned. Not only did his physical strength increase, but his mental strength and magic power also grew significantly.

This is the disadvantage of not being fully data-driven; the increase can only be felt. He couldn't say for sure about his physical strength, but his mental strength and magic power had at least increased by half compared to before the advancement.

After enhancing his physical and mental strength, the evolution power condensed into a new skill: Advanced Wisdom.

Moved, he finally waited for this day. His elusive luck finally stood by him.

Tears welled up in Liu Siyi's eyes. He didn't even look at the other skill and directly selected Advanced Wisdom.

Advanced Wisdom: Can learn and use 1-5 level magics, expands the range of mastered magic skills to 300 meters.

Ha ha, he could finally go home. He wondered what the situation would be like after being in this world for four days.

When he couldn't go back, he wanted to. Now that he could, he started worrying. What if the time ratio between the two worlds was 1 day: 1 year? If he suddenly appeared after four years, what would he do about the people living in his house? Would they scream "Ghost!"?

Hopefully, no one would notice when the space portal opened.

Many things are like this; the hardest part is often the final step.

Thinking too much about these worries only made him more anxious. He decided not to think about them and focus on more important matters.

However, before Liu Siyi could take any action, a strange energy overflowed from the space and gathered toward him.

What's happening? He sensed that this energy wouldn't harm him. Instead, as the energy entered his body, he felt an exhilarating sensation.

Then, Liu Siyi realized that because he had advanced to the third tier, the world would automatically transform him into a hero. From now on, he would be a true hero with all the abilities of a hero, not a mutated unit with partial hero abilities.

In addition to the hero's abilities, Liu Siyi felt that his vitality and mental strength were much stronger than before. This feeling of life being full of vitality was unique. He couldn't describe it, but he knew it. If it were a game, it would be like a significant increase in health and magic points.

Advancing to the third tier, he immediately felt the difference. The pressure from the law had decreased. Simply put, he had become a hero with the freedom to act.

Ordinary units born in this world lack intelligence, so they usually live where they are born and don't leave on their own. Elite and hero units, however, can leave, but the further they go, the more pressure they face. They can only resist this pressure by continuously upgrading and enhancing their strength. Only heroes who advance to the eighth tier are completely free from the law's pressure.

Liu Siyi wasn't born in this world, so he could move around, but he was still subject to the law's pressure, though he didn't realize it before.

Becoming a hero, he naturally gained a natural ability: Spatial Constitution.

Spatial Constitution: One of the hero's special constitutions, capable of sensing, traversing, and merging spaces.

It turned out to be a spatial ability, not the racial ability he had imagined, but a skill-like ability.

At this moment, he remembered that the legendary mage he had absorbed was a dual specialist in spatial and lightning magic. For some reason, he only inherited the lightning and other aspects, not the spatial magic.

What use does this ability have? Sensing space, can it detect the fluctuations of demi-planes in this world? Or can it detect the fluctuations of various planes in the real world, allowing him to traverse between two or more planes like in novels?

If that's the case, even just the ability to sense space would be incredibly powerful. Without mentioning anything else, with so many novels about traversing, especially infinite series, where treasures are and where dangers lie, almost every plane world is thoroughly understood. More importantly, this kind of traversal isn't monitored by the main god, so even if you want to destroy a world, there won't be any increased difficulty.

Traversing space is no big deal; as long as you can sense the existence and location of space, you can open a space portal and enter that plane.

But what does merging space mean? Liu Siyi thought a lot about it. The concept of merging has many meanings, and each one could apply, but he couldn't figure it out without experiencing it in other worlds.

A special ability means it's very powerful, but what use does it have now? At least, it has no immediate use.

Getting such a seemingly powerful and useful ability but not knowing where to apply it, Liu Siyi felt quite helpless. Little did he know that this ability would be the one that truly made him powerful.
