The final effect of the serum would depend on the clinical response of the test subject. If it was successful, the destruction of the Vampiric Empire could be pushed forward.
Zhan Kailin had become a key target of protection. Frank and Blade were guarding her every day anyway.
Besides, after Li Jie witnessed the experiment tonight, he said that he would guard the place until the experiment was a complete success.
Everything was afraid of being interrupted at the last moment.
He had to keep a low profile so that others would not pay too much attention to him. Now, some people, led by S.H.E.L.D., were feigning civility with the Vampiric Empire.
This made Dicken Fess think that his plan had succeeded. After all, he had paid a huge sum of money for this plan. That was why he allowed S.H.E.L.D. to move the Bible, and even got the SWAT team to escort it.
If he knew the truth, he would have bitten off Nick Fury's neck.
Of course, that was only possible if he could bite it.
Apart from protecting Zhan Kailin, Li Jie had another important thing to do. And that was to improve his strength.
After all, he had recently obtained close to 100,000 Reputation Points. Apart from keeping some for emergencies, Li Jie was prepared to spend the rest of the Reputation Points.
In particular, he could clearly feel that the enemies he would face in the future would only get stronger.
At first, he only had conflicts with street gangs. Then, he inexplicably provoked the Stanich family. Later on, he was involved in the Vampiric incident.
Now, he might even have to go against the world-class mafia boss Kim Pyong. These matters weighed heavily on Li Jie.
It had only been three months since he obtained the system, but Li Jie felt like a long time had passed.
The enemies he faced were already so powerful. Who knew what kind of people he would encounter in the future?
When Li Jie took the first step, there was no turning back. Since he was involved in these matters, he shouldn't think about getting away easily.
Even if you want to leave, the others won't let you go so easily.
For example, Dicken Fess. He already knew who was constantly ruining his plans. Nightcrawler was already on his kill list.
He was busy unifying the vampires to complete his plan, so he didn't have time to care about it.
Once he had the time, Nightcrawler would definitely be someone he had to get rid of.
It was the same for the Stanich family, although they were now in a terrible situation. Farango was busy putting out the fire every day. However, his hatred towards Frank and Nightcrawler had not lessened at all.
As long as it was possible, he would not let go of the opportunity to grind the bones of these two fellows into dust.
As well as the possibility of meeting Kim Pyong in the future.
Li Jie felt like his head was about to explode. He wasn't some unkillable cockroach.
The explosion on the overpass last time had almost killed him. If he hadn't been equipped with the mechanical arm armor at that time, he would have died.
It was very likely that he would have died on the spot.
Therefore, it was necessary to strengthen himself. Now that Li Jie had returned home, he opened the system and began to choose his path of strengthening.
Strengthening the Indestructible Vajra Body was necessary. Among the D-rank skills, there was nothing more suitable than this one.
There was a defensive skill called the Nine Dragons Holy Fire Shield, but he didn't buy it because it was too expensive.
Although he had Reputation points now, the Indestructible Vajra Body had been upgraded to the expert level. It was not worth it to turn around and get the Nine Dragons Holy Fire Shield.
Moreover, the Nine Dragons Holy Fire Shield's defense was a dual defense skill that combined energy and physical defense. Although it looked very powerful, the upper limit of each defense was not high.
Therefore, Li Jie chose to upgrade the Indestructible Vajra Body to the maximum. After all, the perfect level of the Indestructible Vajra Body could withstand 1,800 Joules of kinetic energy.
Simply put, as long as he was not directly hit by weapons like assault rifles at close range, other guns and even the fragments of ordinary grenades would not be able to hurt him.
Out of the 100,000 Reputation points, he took out 15,000 points to upgrade his Indestructible Vajra Body to the maximum.
After that, he upgraded the Vairocana Seal. In fact, Li Jie wanted to buy other skills. However, skills that had the potential to be upgraded to the C-rank in the D-rank shop were very expensive.
For example, when he had more than 30,000 Reputation points, Li Jie wanted to buy a more powerful skill. It would be best if it could be upgraded to the C-rank.
However, skills that could be upgraded to the C-rank were very expensive. They started at 30,000 Reputation points. Compared to the skills that could only be upgraded to the D-rank, it was a world of difference.
Therefore, Li Jie did not exchange for it until he met Bru and Miss Smith. In the warehouse, Li Jie was blown up by them and ran around like a dog.
In the end, he had no choice but to exchange for the High-frequency Concussion Gun. It was not cost-effective to exchange it directly from the system. Not only was it expensive, but the ability was also locked. It was better to get the blueprint.
The Mechanical Arm Armor blueprint was created by Peter and optimized by him. It was much better than the one provided by the system.
Of course, if one wanted to exchange for the blueprint, one had to be able to create it. If one did not have a genius brain like Peter Parker, it was best not to use the blueprint to create equipment.
The Vairocana Seal did not improve Li Jie's strength by much.
As the system introduced, the Vairocana Seal was helpful to Li Jie in terms of mental strength. Although it was only at the Minor Mastery Level, it was not obvious.
The system did not explain much. Many times, Li Jie even forgot about the existence of the system.
However, every explanation given by the system was credible. For example, the introduction stated that the seal had a certain restraining effect on evil creatures.
After Li Jie's battle with the Vampires on the viaduct, he discovered that it was not as simple as the system said.
The Minor Mastery Level Vairocana Seal could burn the Vampires to ashes. It seemed to deal more damage than using Mithril.
Therefore, the system's words could not be underestimated. In fact, it had to be upgraded to understand it.
Perhaps in the system's definition, the so-called evil creatures were something more powerful. Vampires could not compare to them.
The upgrade fee for the Vairocana Seal was more expensive. It was double the price of an ordinary D-class skill.
The upgrade fee for an ordinary D-class skill was: 1,000 Minor Mastery ~ 3,000 Proficiency ~ 5,000 Mastery ~ 10000 Mastery.
The Vairocana Seal required 2,000 Minor Mastery ~ 6,000 Proficiency ~ 10000 Mastery ~ 20000 Mastery.
This was the difference between a skill that could be upgraded by one level and a skill that could only be upgraded within the same level.
Now, Li Jie felt that he had been rated as a D-class hero for long enough. Now, he had a strong desire to upgrade to a C-class hero.
This was because only when he reached a higher level would the system unlock more privileges. There would also be more items in the shop that could be exchanged.
He still had a little more than 85,000 Reputation Points left. Li Jie directly spent 36,000 Reputation Points to upgrade the Vairocana Seal to the Maximum Mastery.
This upgrade to the Maximum Mastery gave Li Jie a different feeling from the last time when the Soaring Dragon Skill was upgraded to the Maximum Mastery. The upgrade of the Soaring Dragon Skill brought Li Jie an increase in strength.
The Vairocana Seal not only brought an increase in strength to Li Jie, but more importantly, it brought a sense of stability to his mind. This was a mysterious feeling that could not be described with words.
Li Jie could only feel as if his head had been splashed with cold water. The power that was originally flowing in his body could only be vaguely felt by Li Jie.
Then, he followed the system's instructions to guide the inner Qi energy.
However, the current Li Jie seemed to be able to directly see the surging energy in his body.
It was like a river, flowing back and forth in his body. A huge stream of inner Qi ran vertically through his spine.
Starting from his spine, it split into four large tributaries that flowed to his limbs.
Then, it continued to spread through his limbs, splitting into countless small tributaries that poured energy into every corner of Li Jie's body.
After completing a cycle, all the energy would return to his spine through various nerve routes.
The energy that had completed a cycle was stored by his spine in Li Jie's lower abdomen and brain.
The energy in his lower abdomen came from the Soaring Dragon Skill, which represented simple strength.
The energy in his brain came from the Vairocana Seal. They were extremely few in number, but they were very condensed. They were concentrated in Li Jie's Heavenly Gate, which represented spirit.
After Li Jie upgraded the Vairocana Seal to the Maximum Mastery level, the two forces began to fuse in his spine.
The energy of the Vairocana Seal emitted a gentle white light, while the Soaring Dragon Skill emitted a slightly dazzling purple light.
The white energy of the Vairocana Seal fused with the purple energy of the Soaring Dragon Skill in his spine. During the process of fusion, the dark purple energy was continuously expelled and purified.
This represented the impurities in the Soaring Dragon Skill. The white spirit energy was constantly correcting the simple strength energy, making it gentler and easier to control.
Only when all the energy had cycled 12 times did the energy of the Vairocana Seal complete the transformation of the Soaring Dragon Skill.
The current energy of the Soaring Dragon Skill was no longer dazzling purple light in Li Jie's senses. Instead, it was gentler, like the highest grade amethyst that emitted a transparent light.
The energy flowing in his body was no longer two distinct types of energy. Instead, the center of the purple energy emitted a faint white light.
This represented the perfect fusion of the two forces.
The area in his lower abdomen that stored strength energy and the area in the Heavenly Gate that stored spirit energy had established a small hub. The two forces were no longer independent, but had begun to connect.
Li Jie tried to clench his fist and concentrated his energy into his hand. The energy that originally needed to be controlled by himself was instantly done by using the thoughts in his mind.
This was the feeling of power being controlled by spirit. Li Jie tried to gather all the energy in his body into his right hand. The energy in his body instantly filled up the tributary in his right arm.
The gentle purple energy instantly covered Li Jie's right arm. Some of the energy even began to leak, causing a strange light purple color to appear on Li Jie's palm.
Li Jie instantly dispersed the energy. He had just experienced how terrifying it would be if he concentrated all the energy in his body into a single point.
The overflowing energy gave Li Jie the feeling that he could punch through thick armor with one punch.
However, this was his home. He did not plan to try it at home. When he had time, he would go to the base's training room to try it.
The moment Li Jie upgraded the Vairocana Seal to perfection, the system's notification rang out.
