Chapter 46 Eternal Apostle!

"I actually cleared it…"

Zhou Jing's eyes lit up.

He felt a bit of a pity that he didn't have enough strength to kill Lute, but now that his consciousness had returned and he was out of that environment, the pain was no longer affecting him, and his mood had calmed down.

When he realized that his life goals weren't enough to meet the clearance standards, Zhou Jing, with the mentality of gambling on a single bike turning into a motorcycle, took advantage of the fact that he hadn't died yet to go and make trouble for the lord. Now, looking at the information on the panel, surprise surged into his heart.

——It seems that occasionally acting like a reckless fool is the right thing to do. Being reckless is healthier.

The return settlement gave him 12 points of information-state particles, proving that his behavior of going to chop the lord did indeed cause some kind of impact effect.

But the unexpected gain was the reward that was prompted when he killed the crew-cut man.

More than 3600 Star Realm Points, 28 information-state particles, a small windfall!

Either of these two rewards would have been enough to meet the clearance standards.

"Thanks to Ross…" Zhou Jing grinned.

Ross was usually a bit dull, but at the last moment, he played a key role. If he hadn't secretly resurrected the follower to attack from behind, he wouldn't have been able to kill that powerful enemy.

Speaking of which, that crew-cut man was actually some kind of "alien life form"!

What's that thing?

Does it mean from a different plane?

Zhou Jing was already seriously injured and on the verge of death when this information was triggered during the fight, so he didn't have time to think about it much. Now he finally had time to carefully ponder it and was secretly shocked.

The first time he saw the crew-cut man, Zhou Jing felt that this person's temperament was out of place with the others. Later, he felt that his words and actions were somewhat subtle, and the extraordinary power he used didn't seem like that of a Blood-Adept Warrior.

Zhou Jing still remembered vividly that, unlike himself, who relied on reaction and physical fitness to improvise, the crew-cut man clearly used a complete set of palm techniques and martial skills, with continuous moves and rich skills.

And that flowing Qi… it was like a structured extraordinary path.

"With my years of watching Superpower League matches… this is very similar to martial arts-type extraordinary power."

Zhou Jing pondered to himself.

There are quite a few categories of superpowers in the main world. In addition to a few major categories, new abilities are discovered from time to time, are statistically classified, and give rise to new classifications of extraordinary power.

Martial arts is also a major category of superpowers, related to physical enhancement, but with some differences. It's not that physical ability users who practice various fighting skills count as martial arts types, but that some special energy is produced through certain physical training methods, not just muscle brutes using brute force.

However, most physical enhancement ability users have the potential to become martial arts-type superpower users. Many physical enhancement players in the Superpower League have minored in martial arts, practicing one or more branches.

Zhou Jing used to like browsing the information of league players, so he knew about this.

"If this crew-cut man is from another plane, then how did he descend? Is it like me, or some other kind of shuttle method?"

Zhou Jing's eyes changed, and he wasn't sure.

He couldn't help but think of the Hain Kingdom emblem he found when he was exterminating the Earth Bones.

…Could this person be from the main world?

Then in the alien beast world, is there only one "alien life form," the crew-cut man, or are there more people hiding?

"If there are more alien visitors, then they will definitely notice the existence of people whose temperament and behavior are different from the natives, so I still have to pay attention to this aspect and try to behave like someone from the alien beast world…"

There were too many mysteries, and Zhou Jing became more vigilant.

Lacking intelligence, he couldn't figure out what was going on, so he had to keep his doubts in his heart for now and look for new clues in the future.

Zhou Jing calmed down and put all his attention back on the panel information.

This Star Realm Apostle met the clearance standards and was transformed into an [Eternal Apostle]. What followed was a settlement page that was displayed like flowing water:

[“Jason Wood” (Number 002) Clearance Settlement]

[Total survival time: 194 days]

[Synchronization rate: 83% (Fourth Stage)]

[Strength: [Blood-Adept Warrior] Second Enhancement]

[Apostle Permanence Standard Achievement: 140/110 (Good)]

[Legend Degree: 5 (City-Level)]

"There's a legend degree…"

Zhou Jing's heart stirred.

It must be the fact that he went to chop the lord, which was seen and spread by many residents of White Plains City.

He continued to read on:

[Clearance Evaluation: Good]

[“Jason Wood” obtained re-release times: 2]

[“Jason Wood” Aptitude Improvement: Physical Fitness [Green] → [Deep Green], Resistance [Green] → [Deep Green], Swordsmanship [Green] → [Deep Green]]

[The main body obtains attribute rewards (depending on the Eternal Apostle's superior attributes): Physical Fitness +6, Resistance +4]

[Main body ability free conversion slot: [Random] x2, [Designated] x1]

"Yes!"

Zhou Jing was pleasantly surprised.

As expected, in addition to the death settlement, there was also a specific clearance settlement. This was the first time he had triggered it.

Transformed into an [Eternal Apostle], "Jason Wood" could be re-generated even if he died and shuttle through the Star Realm.

The clearance settlement directly rewarded 2 re-release opportunities. These were free.

If the re-release opportunities rewarded by the clearance settlement were exhausted, re-releasing the Eternal Apostle would require consuming Star Realm Points. The cost would increase cumulatively, but there was no limit to the number of times

——As long as there were enough resources, the apostle could be generated again and again.

The Eternal Apostle was very different from the regular Star Realm Apostle in many ways.

After becoming an Eternal Apostle, it wasn't necessary to die to be directly recycled from a Star Realm. One could choose to release him into other Star Realms. This process would consume one release opportunity.

After the release was completed, the Eternal Apostle could not immediately leave the current Star Realm. He needed to stay for a sufficient amount of time before he could end the cooldown and be recycled again… meaning there must be a certain interval between two releases.

In addition, the Eternal Apostle's cultivation achievements in this Star Realm would be synchronized, and the files would be updated in real time. And when regenerated, the template used would be the updated file, constantly growing.

At this time, the panel showed that there were currently two worlds where the Eternal Apostle could be released.

One was the alien beast world with Star Realm number 001.

The other was the main world!

The Eternal Apostle could be released into the main world where the main body was located!

Like the normal Star Realm shuttle mechanism, it would also consume 1 re-release opportunity!

"There's such a function!"

Zhou Jing's heart was pounding.

Bringing Jason to the main world… he hadn't thought about this before.

However, with the technological level of the main world, he would be an illegal immigrant.

There was no need for this matter for the time being, and he couldn't think of how it could help. Instead, it would bring trouble… Zhou Jing calmed down, calmed his mood, and put away this idea.

"There's no need to release him to the main world now…"

Zhou Jing thought to himself.

In addition, the clearance settlement would also improve the Eternal Apostle's aptitude according to the evaluation, and the main body would receive certain attributes as a clearance reward.

And the most important reward was the "main body ability free conversion slot"!

Zhou Jing had carefully looked at it. After clearing the game, the skills and extraordinary system possessed by this Eternal Apostle could be converted to the main body.

Each time an ability was converted, Star Realm Points or information-state particles would have to be consumed to generate it in the main body.

Taking Jason Wood's extraordinary system [Blood-Adept Warrior (Second Enhancement)] as an example, the cost of converting it to the main body was 2000 Star Realm Points and 20 information-state particles.

The various Hunter Breathing Technique skills each had their own conversion costs, which were much cheaper.

And the "main body ability free conversion slot" given during the clearance settlement had a similar function to the "free inheritance slot" during the death settlement…

But instead of inheriting the power to the next apostle, it allows the main body to inherit the Eternal Apostle's ability for free!

Because it was more precious, the number of rewards that increased with the clearance evaluation was lower than the "free inheritance slot" of the death settlement.

On the other hand, whether it was converting the ability to the main body at the cost of resources, or using the "free conversion slot," the strength of the ability that could be converted depended on the Star Realm shuttle energy level.

Zhou Jing thought about it for a while and understood roughly.

He had seen it when he was creating Jason before, that the Star Realm shuttle energy level affects the initial strength of the apostle template, the level of the ability that the main body could convert, and other factors.

The Star Realm shuttle energy level was equivalent to the strength of the Star Realm shuttle panel itself, and the converted ability was limited by this… it could be simply understood as, if it's too big, it can't all go in, only a little bit can go in.

For example, if the Eternal Apostle practiced a skill to LV10, if the Star Realm shuttle energy level didn't keep up, then the main body could only convert the skill to the level of LV6, LV8, and so on, and couldn't completely convert it to LV10…

Of course, the corresponding cost would also be reduced. When the main body converted an ability, they could choose to classify it… or understand it as installment payments.

It was just like the technique Zhou Jing had previously pondered, only converting a skill to LV1, and then using the experience he had once mastered to allow the main body to independently exercise and improve the skill level. This was also feasible and could save conversion costs.

Fortunately, even the strongest [Blood-Adept Warrior (Second Enhancement)] extraordinary system of "Jason Wood" only had a conversion limit of "Star Realm shuttle energy level LV1", which was the most basic Star Realm shuttle energy level currently, and could accommodate the conversion of extraordinary power of this strength.

"Let's try it first…"

Zhou Jing did not hesitate and immediately used the free conversion slot. The designated one was directly used on the [Blood-Adept Warrior] system.

[Main body ability free conversion slot used up]

[3 abilities have been selected: Extraordinary System - [Blood-Adept Warrior (Second Enhancement)], Skill - [Hunter Breathing Forging (LV5)], Skill - [Hunter Breathing Swift (LV4)]!]

[The selected Eternal Apostle abilities will be converted into the main body]

Zhou Jing was excited and wanted to immediately leave his consciousness and return to the main body to check the goods.

However, he restrained his impulse and patiently checked the information displayed on the panel:

[When the synchronization rate exceeds 80% at the time of clearance, you will receive [Descent Power - Jason Wood]!]

[Note: When the Eternal Apostle is generated, if the synchronization rate exceeds 80%, you can obtain the [Descent Power] of the apostle. After using it, the main body temporarily borrows all the current abilities of the Eternal Apostle, including talents, skills, extraordinary systems, etc., but the damage received is synchronously fed back to the Eternal Apostle. After releasing it, it will take a certain cooldown time before it can be used again]

[[Descent Power - Jason Wood]]

[Current available times: 2]

[When the number of uses is 0, Star Realm Points can be consumed to recharge for use. The cost depends on the apostle's combat power level]

"The main body can borrow Jason's power…"

Zhou Jing's eyes flashed. His first reaction was that it was a bit redundant with the conversion of power.

But after thinking about it, he suddenly understood.

The Eternal Apostle could continue to be released and grow continuously, and the number of abilities he could choose to convert would increase, and he might not choose or convert all of them.

When there was only one Eternal Apostle, he might not see the effect, but after there were more Eternal Apostles, he would have to consider the combination of abilities and the cost of conversion, and he might not convert all the abilities.

In addition, the power that the main body converted was only the strength of the Eternal Apostle's ability at that moment, and it would not automatically become stronger as the Eternal Apostle grew.

Either the main body would practice it himself, or it would consume resources and continue to convert the Eternal Apostle's further cultivation results.

So with these factors, there were differences between the Eternal Apostle's ability and the main body's power!

Then using [Descent Power], he could borrow the current peak power of an Eternal Apostle, which might include abilities that he had not yet converted.

"It feels very good! Fortunately, when I chopped Maggi and his group, the synchronization rate increased by 10 percent, otherwise I would have missed it."

Zhou Jing quickly understood the effect. At a critical moment, this thing might be a life-saving trump card.

Although he didn't think that the main body would encounter any danger at the moment…

Of course, relying on this alone wouldn't work. After all, it would consume resources to use it once, and the more powerful the Eternal Apostle, the more money it would burn. So, constantly strengthening the main body was the most stable way, and constant strength was the foundation.

"Speaking of which, although Jason is dead, his power is fixed at the level of the second enhancement…"

Zhou Jing's eyes shone brightly.

Originally, the second enhancement had failed, and his body's genes had collapsed. But if Jason was regenerated, he would still have the power of the second enhancement, and the sequelae would disappear with his last death, and his body would be brand new…

Wouldn't this be equivalent to using the Eternal Apostle's file retention and re-release mechanism to resolve the risk of Blood-Adept enhancement failure!

As long as he didn't die on the spot, even if his genes collapsed, as long as he died and was regenerated, he could obtain a new power of Blood-Adept enhancement!

"In this case, the greatest risk of Blood-Adept enhancement, doesn't it not exist for Jason!"

Zhou Jing was very excited.

This situation was like playing a enhancement protection scroll.

For the first time, he discovered that the Blood-Adept enhancement system was so suitable for Star Realm Apostles, it was simply a shortcut to becoming a muscle man!

In this way, Jason could drink Blood-Adept potions with confidence!

Maybe he could really break the historical record of eight enhancements in the alien beast world!

At this time, the clearance settlement page disappeared.

Seeing this, Zhou Jing couldn't hold back and couldn't wait to leave the shuttle preparation space.

Whoosh!

Consciousness returned to the main body, and Zhou Jing suddenly opened his eyes on the bed.

He jumped up, almost hitting the ceiling, and felt that his whole body was filled with a strong and familiar sense of power.

"Has the conversion taken effect?"

He quickly opened the panel and immediately checked the main body's attributes:

[Extraordinary Power System: [Blood-Adept Warrior] Second Enhancement (Thunderclap Leopard, Windsong Tiger)]

[Accumulated Bonus: Physical Fitness +26, Resistance +19, Perception +13]

[Skills: [Hunter Breathing Forging] - LV5 (Instinctive), [Hunter Breathing Swift] - LV4 (Proficient)]

[Current Attributes: Physical Fitness 40 (Tier 1 A+), Resistance 31, Perception 18, Spirit 8, Energy 0]

Zhou Jing clenched his fists violently, and strong tendon strength surged between his muscles, bursting out with an endless stream of power.

This was a used ability, but at this moment, it didn't seem unfamiliar at all!

A sense of excitement echoed in his chest, bursting out!

"I'm finally… a superpowered person!"

He breathed out heavily, as if breathing out all the past unwillingness, leaving only lightness and ease.

Thanks to ES for the 50,000 reward!
