NOVEL WEB Chapter 781: Ascension to Level 6 (Part 2)
Inside the room.
Wang Tao was a bit excited. After all, in his previous life, it had taken him over a year to ascend to the sixth realm, and now it had only taken two months. Even someone who had weathered many storms like him couldn't remain completely calm.
Wang Tao took a deep breath to calm himself down and then began synthesizing the Crystal Cores. Moments later, all the Level 5 Crystal Cores he needed had become Epic Crystal Cores of 100% purity. He then placed them into his mouth one by one, allowing them to fuse.
After nearly all the Level 5 Basic Attribute Crystal Cores were integrated into his body, Wang Tao instantly felt that he could ascend to the sixth realm. There was no need for any operation or other thresholds—just a few hours of good sleep would suffice.
"Ascend!"
With the movement of his will, Wang Tao slowly fell asleep.
...
Four hours later, Wang Tao slowly woke up.
Feeling the surging power within his body, he clenched his fist tightly and then looked at his attribute panel, immediately breaking into a grin.
[HP: 120,000/120,000]
[Level: Level 6]
[Talents: Lucky Star, Heat Energy Beam, Frozen Breath, Steel Body, Super Perception, Sky-controlling Flight, Mind Control]
[Constitution: Virus Immunity, Holy Blessing, Blood Vessel Expansion]
After fusing those Level 5 Basic Crystal Cores, his HP limit increased by ten thousand, bringing his HP to 120,000. Although this was still much less compared to his previous life, it was no longer as fragile as before, and his self-defense capabilities were incomparable.
His level had changed from "Level 5" to "Level 6", and Wang Tao looked at the words "Level 6" several times.
However, he did not forget the most important thing. He first looked at his talents and, as expected, did not acquire any new talents.
Then he looked at his awakening, and much like when he ascended to Level 5, he acquired a new constitution—
[Blood Vessel Expansion: Temporarily enhances all attributes]
The introduction for the new constitution [Blood Vessel Expansion] was simple, but its effect seemed strong.
Wang Tao had seen many abilities and awakenings, most of which were system-based. Those system awakenings were often achieved through enhancing one's attributes to gain bursts of power.
But those enhanced attributes were all basic attributes.
What are basic attributes?
They are nothing more than HP, mana, constitution, agility, and spirit.
While enhancing these basic attributes is already quite good, they are still only basic and not comprehensive enough.
However, the [Blood Vessel Expansion] constitution Wang Tao just acquired enhances all of his attributes!
If Wang Tao understood it correctly, the "all attributes" not only includes basic attributes but also other attributes, such as various elemental attributes.
Though it was stated that all attributes are only temporarily enhanced, if it worked as he imagined, it would be strong even if it was only for a few seconds. A few seconds would be enough for Wang Tao to unleash a significant amount of attack power.
Wang Tao was now eager to see what effect this [Blood Vessel Expansion] really had, but there was no need to rush. He first tried out his body's condition after ascending to Level 6.
After moving around a bit inside the room, Wang Tao could only say that Level 6 truly lived up to its name, and Level 5 was completely incomparable. Just the toughness of his body alone was already approaching that of Level 7 in his previous life!
If he were to hunt Level 5 zombies again, even a Level 5 Monster Lord wouldn't be able to withstand a few punches from him now.
Crack—
Wang Tao opened the door and saw a group of people eagerly looking at him in the living room. Wang Tao naturally knew what they were thinking, so he waved his hand and said:
"Let's go to the training ground!"
"Alright!"
The group followed Wang Tao to a fully enclosed training ground.
Before testing his strength, Xiang Hongbin was still somewhat unsure and asked:
"Old Wang, you... really ascended to Level 6?"
It wasn't that he didn't believe Wang Tao; it was just too unbelievable. After all, he was only Level 3, other people were at most Level 4, the zombies outside were at most Level 4, yet Wang Tao had reached Level 6! Was it reasonable?
Others also subconsciously looked at Wang Tao.
Wang Tao exuded an aura of returning to simplicity; even considering the vast difference in level, when Wang Tao did not use his abilities, they couldn't even discern Wang Tao's level, not to mention determining whether he was an Ability User…
"Of course!"
Wang Tao smiled and then demonstrated in front of everyone.
Mere moments later, everyone fell silent.
They all had only one thought in their minds—this was Level 6! How incredibly strong!
But I was not very satisfied at the moment because the space was too small, and he hadn't fully unleashed his power. There was no way to test his true combat strength or the new constitution [Blood Vessel Expansion]... So Wang Tao said to everyone:
"The warm-up is over, let's go out of the city for testing."
"?"
Everyone's mouths were agape.
Wang Tao's impressive show of strength just now was merely a warm-up?
How were the others supposed to live in comparison to that!
Though everyone complained inwardly, they were also very excited because they too wanted to see Wang Tao's real fighting power.
So Wang Tao led them out of the city.
Based on the intelligence from City Hall, Wang Tao set his sights on a large city.
Not long after, Wang Tao and his group arrived at this fallen city.
It's worth mentioning that while the others arrived riding the Golden Eagle, Wang Tao flew there on his own.
The distance from Changhe Base to this city was not close. If he were Level 5, he could fly there in one go, but it would exhaust him, requiring him to rest and fully recover before engaging in battle.
But now, he wasn't out of breath, nor did he feel tired!
His flight only consumed a tiny fraction of his physical strength, with no significant impact at all!
This reminded Wang Tao of his Level 7 flying ability from his past life; the feeling now was no different from back then!
The only difference was that in his previous life, his flight relied on the ever-present Fire Element, which meant almost no personal effort. Now, though he was physically powered, he expended only a bit of his energy…
If you look at it, flying like this is even better than relying on elemental flight because if he faced an enemy with the same element but higher grade, his elemental power would be utterly suppressed, preventing flight. Relying on just his body to fly avoids such problems…
Suddenly, Wang Tao glanced at the Golden Eagle.
Initially thinking that the Golden Eagle complemented him, excelling at long-range flight while he focused on close-range bursts, now it seemed he might not need the Golden Eagle anymore except for rescue missions…
Shaking his head, Wang Tao refocused his gaze on a certain area in the city. It was a wasteland, devoid even of zombies.
Such a situation was uncommon, but Wang Tao was not surprised because the intelligence from City Hall indicated that there was a disaster-level zombie in that area.
There is no distinction of friend or foe for Cataclysmic Awakening, even a zombie would flee upon seeing one. The current circumstances confirmed the report's accuracy.
After ascending to Level 6, Wang Tao's perception ability had naturally improved significantly, and with just a glance, he found the disaster-level zombie amidst the ruins.
[HP: 500,000/500,000]
[Mana: 0/0]
[Grade: Level 4 · Disaster]
[Cataclysmic Awakening: Life Erosion]
[Life Erosion: Continuously drains life from those nearby]
Instructing everyone to wait temporarily, Wang Tao flew over to the disaster-level zombie.
Whoosh—
By the time this disaster-level zombie noticed Wang Tao, he was already right in front of it.
Bam!
[-500,000]
Poof—
With just one punch, the disaster-level zombie's 500,000-blood bar was instantly reduced to nothing.
"..."
However, Wang Tao did not show much excitement. Instead, he shook his head somewhat helplessly. This disaster-level zombie couldn't serve as his test subject either.
He then set his sights on the entire city. The city was large, and beyond that disaster-zone zombie, there were many other zombies...
