I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 649: Priority of Each Segment in Combat Power Composition

Receiving the battle report from Elemental Star through his clone, Lin Yi’s hand, which was initially sticky and soiled by the chaotic mass, faltered for a moment.

Truthfully, the confrontation with Elemental Star was an unavoidable necessity.

Lin Yi had no alternative but to annihilate the neighboring star to enhance the power of Blue Star.

In a world governed by the law of the jungle, where the strong dominate the weak, any sentiment of mercy is tantamount to a transgression.

The fleeting pang of guilt he experienced vanished as quickly as it had appeared.

An entire civilization, cultivated over thousands of years, was now imprinted within Lin Yi’s mind.

The 'Touch of Reincarnation' skill had successfully activated, absorbing the chaotic, turbulent life it encountered, along with its profound affinity for the five elemental forces, assimilating it all into Lin Yi.

Although the skill description for [Mutated Ancient Forbidden Curse: World-Purifying Flame Prison] stated that all existence on the planet—be it life, writing, civilization, or memories—would be annihilated by the Purifying Flame's burn,

this devastating effect did not fully materialize.

Through the intervention of 'Touch of Reincarnation,' the memories and cultural heritage of Elemental Star, accumulated by chaos over eons, flowed into Lin Yi’s consciousness.

These invaluable memories would endure as long as Lin Yi himself persisted.

Perhaps, this was the sole act of tenderness Lin Yi could offer in its wake.

Following the embrace of 'Touch of Reincarnation,' the tar-like, black substance of chaos began to gradually disintegrate, ultimately leaving absolutely no trace behind.

It was unfortunate that Lin Yi failed to capture even a wisp of Divine Power from the chaos; had he succeeded, he could have further augmented his physical prowess.

Over the course of recent months, Lin Yi had found himself confronting beings of varying power levels.

Among them, the high-ranking Divine Envoy Calamity stood out as a formidable opponent.

His victory against Calamity was, without a doubt, significantly influenced by sheer luck.

Firstly, the battle occurred on a different planet, and even with the augmentation of Divine Power, Calamity’s abilities were somewhat restricted.

Secondly, Xuanyuan Qingcang’s self-sacrifice and his application of the [Skill-Offering] technique provided crucial assistance, among other factors.

As for the other formidable adversaries, while they presented challenges, they were not insurmountable as long as Lin Yi deployed his full repertoire of skills.

As long as an enemy’s power level remained below a certain threshold, they posed no genuine threat to Lin Yi.

Engaging these powerful entities in combat furnished Lin Yi with the most profound comprehension of the combat power system.

Consider the professionals of Blue Star as an illustration; their combat power is meticulously categorized into numerous tiers.

It is somewhat imprudent to gauge a professional’s combat strength using merely their basic status panel.

Nevertheless, the basic panel offers a reasonable approximation of a professional’s overall might.

At the tender age of eighteen, upon their initial contact with the Transformation Spirit Crystal, individuals would receive their designated starting profession.

Different professions gravitate towards distinct attributes; typically, tank-type professionals boast exceptionally high Vitality, robust physical and magical defenses, and even their Strength attributes are quite substantial.

In contrast, tank-type professionals tend to be deficient in Mana Value and magical offense; only mage-type professionals exhibit elevated attributes in these specific areas.

Each profession is aligned with a primary attribute, which, for ordinary professionals, usually translates to pronounced strengths counterbalanced by evident weaknesses.

However, for those who distinguish themselves among professionals, the dynamic shifts significantly.

Renowned War Gods are invariably individuals who have navigated countless trials by fire, incrementally enhancing their attributes through myriad opportunities and perilous expeditions.

The ability to progressively diminish their inherent frailties allows mages to bolster their low Vitality and fragile defenses, while tank and warrior professionals can elevate their Mana Value and mitigate low skill attack attributes.

Naturally, there are avenues for enhancement through the expenditure of a modest price.

Take, for instance, Cheng Xiao.

This veteran initially joined Lin Yi's raids for the promised benefits from Xia but unexpectedly found himself entangled, evolving alongside Lin Yi as if possessing an innate advantage, effortlessly accumulating a multitude of attributes.

For Lin Yi, the progression was even more extraordinary.

Throughout his journey, Lin Yi acquired a diverse array of rare artifacts, including Law items such as the Infinite Orb, the Immortal Fruit, and the Void Hand.

These acquisitions not only endowed Lin Yi with formidable combat capabilities but also substantially boosted his attributes.

Ultimately, through the [Blessing] skill and multiple percentage-based increases to his maximum attributes, Lin Yi assimilated the attributes of numerous powerful beings from Blue Star, propelling his basic status panel to echelons unattainable by even the most accomplished War Gods.

The most potent threat is not merely their strength.

What truly instills dread is when that supreme strength is coupled with well-rounded capabilities.

Whether in close-quarters combat or intricate skill duels, confronting Lin Yi offers no conceivable path to victory.

Even the most formidable warrior professionals on Blue Star would hesitate to claim they could stand toe-to-toe with Lin Yi in a physical confrontation.

Following this, one must consider the advantageous boons conferred by skills.

Whether they are active or passive skills, the effects become immeasurable once their ranks are sufficiently high.

Take Lin Yi’s [Gift of the Heavens] for instance; its exaggerated effects—two ordinary skill points per second and one Enlightenment Point per hour—enabled him to claim the title of the strongest among the younger generation, even when his level wasn't particularly high.

Truth be told, back then, Lin Yi had invested very little in attribute development and stood no chance against the top contenders in the national exam. Those geniuses, groomed as heirs from birth by their families, possessed abundant resources for attribute enhancement and had undergone numerous trials.

Lin Yi managed to overcome his disadvantage by relying on his potent skills, propelling himself to become the leading figure of Xia’s younger generation.

In subsequent confrontations with various formidable beings, the divine skill [Flash] also proved to be significantly effective, frequently altering the course of battles.

This clearly demonstrates that the augmenting impact of powerful skills surpasses that of basic attributes.

Combat power enhancements derived from skills are intrinsically linked to the Martial Soul.

The Martial Soul is an indispensable ability for high-ranking professionals on Blue Star.

It can only be obtained through specific raids, and acquiring a desired Martial Soul is exceptionally difficult. Furthermore, the resources required for upgrading Martial Souls are equally scarce, not comparable to skill points.

Skill points, on the other hand, can be acquired through trading, quests, and raids.

However, elevating Martial Soul levels and enhancing Martial Soul effect cores, aside from high-priced transactions due to market shortages, are achievable only through two special raids on Blue Star.

Certainly, the advantages conferred by a Martial Soul are not superior to those of ordinary skills.

Perhaps Martial Soul skills cannot match high-level skills in terms of damage output, especially Forbidden Curses with their large-scale, high-destructive power effects, but the practicality of Martial Soul skills is on par with ordinary skills.

This is evident from Lin Yi’s frequently employed [Fine Hair Clone].

Moreover, the utilization of Martial Soul skills is not restricted by Source Power, offering a life-saving capability in critical moments.

Additionally, boosting Martial Souls can yield substantial basic attribute enhancements, thus rightfully establishing Martial Souls as superior to skills.
