Chapter 324: Chapter 217: Opened? No More Acting?_1

Legendary Overlords are extremely rare monsters that spawn with very low probability in the Endless Deathmatch Arena.

However, Jiang Chen had already displayed his exquisite skills, significantly enhancing his fame within the Infinite Purgatory.

There were also Purgatory Asuras, Flesh Hosts, and Great Lustful Demons, three dominators supporting him.

This “tiny” Endless Deathmatch Arena was now packed with Legendary Overlords from various Purgatories.

It truly was a place where legends were as common as stray dogs.

Therefore, when the Flesh Host no longer interfered with challenges, and a new challenger entered the arena,

it turned out to be another Legendary Asura!

Jiang Chen used the effect of Extreme Battle Spirit to assess its attributes.

After confirming it was not a puppet created by the Flesh Host, he slightly restrained his form and began a new challenge.

Of course.

Jiang Chen wanted to open a martial school primarily to provide himself with higher-quality opponents so that he could maintain his high-speed cultivation state while grinding for traits.

He aimed to realize a multiple of his usual proficiency growth.

Currently in the initial stage, he was no stronger than these Legendary Overlords, and his proficiency was even somewhat lower.

There was naturally no mention of teaching; rather, the focus was on learning.

By the way, he was also assessing the proficiency levels of these 8th Rank Legendary Overlords.

“This is like a diagnostic test…”

After actual testing,

these 8th Rank Asuras who had mastered the Extreme Battle Spirit were basically at an initial level.

Only a few Asuras, having sensed the existence of a path forward, could be said to have made a bit more progress.

This was normal.

The rate of improvement for Abyss Overlords was inherently much slower than that of mecha pilots.

Moreover, with the Extreme Battle Spirit trait, without “computational” assistance, one must use countless years of battle to hone the pinnacle of instinct, and it is very time-consuming to get started.

Even Purgatory Asuras didn’t step onto the path of legend until after they reached the 7th Rank.

These 8th Rank Asuras, even if they grew up under the tutelage of Purgatory Asuras…

they couldn’t possibly master several Legendary Traits so early on and become legends as common as dogs.

“The 7th Rank is a threshold, and the 10th Rank is another one…”

“Once the realm reaches the 10th Rank, becoming [Nebula Level], those Abyss Overlords who have already stepped into the realm of legends will surely advance further over the long years…”

“Mastering the subsequent advanced techniques of legends.”

By comparison, mecha pilots are still more impressive.

Not all abyssal monsters can awaken the power of legends.

Not to mention the Nebula Level.

Even if they reach the Cluster Level or the Galaxy Level,

the vast majority of abyssal monsters are still unable to master the power of legends and are just “cannon fodder” built up over time.

In contrast, mecha pilots, upon reaching the 10th Rank, all gain a Legendary Trait Slot.

After the 10th Rank, legends are commonplace.

“Mecha pilots grow fast, have many abilities, and possess strong talents…”

“The only downside is that they lack sustainability.”

“If abyssal monsters encounter a growth bottleneck, they can spend a long time incrementally increasing attributes, breaking through the bottleneck, and advancing in realm.”

“Mecha pilots are different.”

“To advance in realm, they must undergo rank ascension trials.”

“However, the difficulty of the rank ascension trials increases continuously as the ranks go up.”

“If one’s strength is not enough to complete the rank ascension trial, and they have already used up their mecha slots and trait slots, reaching the limit of their current level…”

“It’s the same as exhausting their potential, completely locking them at a certain rank.”

“This is also the reason why the mightiest individuals from Ancient Eon and Divine Lords, level 8 civilizations, remain at the Galaxy Level—”

“This is both the upper limit of civilization and their own limit.”

Of course, this limit is not absolutely fixed.

Just like the Mythical Specialization trait, it brought growth abilities similar to those of Mythical Life—

Jiang Chen himself already possessed limitless high-speed growth, so he naturally found such growth abilities rather common.

But for the mecha pilots of other civilizations,

it could be considered infinite growth, a divine step for breaking through limits!

In addition, after they reached a bottleneck, they could also grind their traits like abyssal monsters, improving the quality and effect of their traits.

By increasing the multiplier of their traits, they could gain the ability to ascend in rank, breaking the bottleneck once more, advancing yet another step, and gaining more potential.

However, this type of growth process was very similar to that of abyssal monsters.

It required a long time to barely scratch through one rank.

“Lower-level civilizations do not need to do this… struggling to break through bottlenecks, they have not yet seen civilization level rises, growing even faster.”

“But those ancient high-level civilizations can afford to spend a great deal of time on this…”

Jiang Chen’s mind stirred.

The upper limits of those ancient civilizations could be even higher than he imagined.

Such powerful civilizations still could not reach the limits of the abyss.

They still had to abide by the calamity, unable to ignore the [Abyss Protection Mechanism], roaming the abyss at will, and unite all human civilizations completely…

It could be said that the more powerful he became, the more darkness he encountered.

Therefore—

Jiang Chen needed to grow even more!

The special organs brought about by Mythical Specialization might not contribute much to his own growth.

Even with a twelvefold time-speed bonus, at eight points of attribute growth per second, one day would yield only about 8.29 million in all attributes.

Compared to his 2.2 billion total attributes, it was almost negligible.

But…

The special organs could be applied to the mecha.

Even if a 3rd Rank mecha, once supercharged, only had 4th Rank attributes, its digestion efficiency was far less than that of the body.

The growth per second would need to be reduced to two points.

In a day, it could still grow by 2.08 million in all attributes!

What does this mean?

Vitaz, a 3rd Rank legendary mecha, with total attributes of 1.5 million, and an energy recovery rate of 5000/s.
