Chapter 190 Intelligence Soars Again
This is the terrifying harvest he reaped while sweeping through the second wave of the undead scourge and tirelessly shuttling between the major cities!
Keep the upgrade points for now; they'll be very useful.
Reserve it for any SSS-grade skills or equipment that may appear.
And this power of over twelve million rulers...
"Full power! Target—Intelligence attribute!" he silently chanted to himself.
[Power of Domination -500,000... -2,000,000... -5,000,000...]
The system notification indicated that the Dominator's Power value had plummeted!
On the attribute panel, the number representing [Intelligence] and other secondary attributes are rising wildly!
Soon his intelligence attribute broke through the 600,000 mark.
As the last wisp of golden torrent merged into the source, the terrifying sensation of being poured in gradually subsided.
On Lin Tian's attribute panel, the number after [Intelligence] finally settled on a value that would instill despair and suffocation in any being who saw it—
【Intelligence: 652,587】
"650,000 points... Intelligence..." Lin Tian slowly opened his eyes. The stars no longer shimmered in his eyes; instead, there was only calm.
Under the effect of the divine-level [Attribute Resonance], other secondary attributes are also greatly amplified.
His health, mana, defense, speed... all his attributes increased dramatically, reaching an unbelievable level!
"Over twelve million units of Sovereign Power... in exchange for another leap in attributes." Lin Tian felt the seemingly inexhaustible, earth-shattering power within his body, a power capable of changing the world with a mere thought.
"I am now many times stronger than I was before."
......
The air in Grayrock City was still thick with the pungent stench of decaying undead mixed with scorched earth.
But compared to yesterday's deafening fighting and desperate cries, what now envelops the city is more of a post-disaster exhaustion and a forced, almost fanatical excitement.
The source of this excitement can be found in only one name—Lin Tian.
In the makeshift tavern "Wind-Eroded Oak" set up in the city center square, almost every conversation at every table revolved around that figure who rose like a meteor but possessed the dazzling power of a star.
The heavily armored warrior, spitting as he spoke, gestured to the immense power that Lin Tian had summoned with a wave of his hand, summoning a triple stellar storm.
The mage, his eyes gleaming, mimicked the terrifying skill that distorted gravity and space;
Even the most silent assassin would instinctively straighten his back and show awe in his eyes when he heard the name "Lin Tian".
"...You didn't see it! Right over at the East Gate, just as those skeleton knights were about to break through, Boss Lin Tian appeared in the sky like a ghost in an instant."
Without even chanting a spell, he simply raised his hand—BOOM! A huge area vanished! Not even a bone fragment remained!
"What's that? He released a giant fireball to our south! My God, that wasn't a fireball, it was a mini-sun! It had a radius of several hundred meters! The undead inside were instantly vaporized!"
"I heard he single-handedly resolved the crisis in Luoxia City and then teleported over immediately to help us? That strength is simply inhuman!"
The deafening noise surged like a tide, constantly crashing against an inconspicuous spot in the corner of the tavern.
There sat a man dressed in gray leather armor, thin, with an ordinary face that would be easily lost in a crowd.
His ID is [Liu Ji].
Unlike the others' excitement, Liu Ji simply sipped his cheap ale quietly, his lowered eyelids concealing the complex emotions surging deep within his eyes, incongruous with the surrounding atmosphere.
His fingers unconsciously rubbed the rough edge of the wooden wine glass, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
At first, like everyone else, he felt a mixture of gratitude, admiration, and even awe towards Lin Tian.
After all, it was that man's timely appearance that pulled him and Grayrock City back from the brink of destruction.
That kind of world-destroying power is enough to make any rational person tremble and submit.
However, human nature is always greedy, especially in this world of interdimensional battles where power reigns supreme.
As more details about Lin Tian continued to reach Liu Ji's ears through the world channel and through word of mouth—
The unleashing of skills in Infinite Power mode, the seemingly god-like talents, the bottomless attribute panel—
A poisonous seed called "jealousy" began to quietly sprout in the dark corners of his heart, and quickly twisted and swelled.
"Why..." a barely audible voice screamed in his heart.
"Why does he possess such heaven-defying talent and power? Why can he stand at the pinnacle of the crowd, enjoying everyone's cheers and adoration? While I... I have to be here, risking my life for a few A-rank equipment pieces, worrying about whether I'll lose a level in the next monster siege?"
Liu Ji subconsciously brought up his talent panel.
Those words, radiating a soft, S-grade glow, were once his greatest pride and reliance:
[Talent: Soul Replacement]
Rank: S
Effect: Locks onto a target and attempts to exchange body and soul with them. Success rate is based on the difference in mental attributes between the two parties, soul strength, and certain rule adjustments. After a successful exchange, you will have complete control over the target's body, talents, skills, and most item permissions (except for some bound items), while your original body will be taken over by the target's soul.
Casting range: within 10 meters.
Cost: 50% of maximum mana and a large amount of spirit.
Cooldown time: 24 hours.
Failure Penalty: If the skill fails to be cast, the caster will be afflicted with "Soul Weakness," reducing all attributes by 80% for 1 hour. During this time, the talent cannot be used again.
Description: A high-stakes gamble; win and you have everything; lose... and you're doomed.
This talent gave him a huge advantage in the early stages.
He also used this ability to cleverly "borrow" key quest items from some heavily guarded NPC vaults.
He always believed that [Soul Replacement] was the shortcut to the pinnacle, the king of unorthodox methods that surpassed all other talents!
Until... he heard Lin Tian's name and witnessed that cataclysmic power.
A crazy, dangerous, yet extremely tempting thought, like the devil's whisper, echoed wildly in his mind:
"If... I could obtain Lin Tian's body... obtain his invincible talent, obtain his terrifyingly powerful attributes..."
Once the idea took hold, it could not be stopped!
He could almost see himself standing inside Lin Tian's body, which contained boundless power, as stars fell and laws shattered with a wave of his hand.
