In the cramped and cold basement, Arlen raised his head and stared at the ceiling that almost reached his head. On his retina, a new projection with three missing status bars appeared.
Mental Strength: 20
Nerve Conduction Speed: 20
Seed Breaking Stage – Mature Stage (Progress Bar: 100931000000)
Absorption Points (84.2)
Ability:
[Malice Sense: A Crimson Malice Spider formed from malice resides in your eyes. It can evoke the deepest fear in a human's heart. After consuming the malice of a female ghost, it gains the ability to mark death and curse.] (The next level requires 100 absorption points and 3 resentment that has not been extinguished.)
Yin Mark (Incomplete): Traces of shadows and death. Current attribute is low density pollution. Incomplete state. (The next level requires 100 bone hardness, 100 muscle activity, 100 blood density.)
Soru: High-speed steps to generate explosive power. Even the air can be torn apart. Teleport in a small area faster than the speed of sound. (0/30)
Finger Gun: Concentrates all the strength in your body into your fingers. You can easily pierce through steel like tofu. The air squeezed by your fingertips can be compressed into bullets that can take a human life. The black line that accelerates from your fingertips has a terrifying penetrative power. (0/30)
Iron Block: Accumulates strength into the body through solid training. Makes it as hard as iron. (8/10)
Paper Pot: Releases all the strength in your body. Controls the body as easily as drawing on paper. (3/10)
Geppō: Uses strong leg strength to step on the air. Creates a strong resistance in the air. You can walk in the air as if you are stepping on stairs. However, you cannot stay in the air for too long. (4/10)
Rankyaku: The muscles in your feet contract and stretch rapidly to create kinetic energy. Then, you can quickly kick out. When you exceed the speed of sound, you can compress the air in front of your legs and create a "vacuum" to release a sharp slash wave. (3/10)
"Other than mental strength and nerve conduction speed, they are only 160 absorption points. After that, they will reach the limit like the other three attributes and disappear completely. In other words …" Yarlin's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the future, he would be forced to focus on the path of "skill points".
Arlen shifted his gaze to the skill category. First was Evil Thoughts, which required three Vengeful Thoughts that hadn't died yet. Arlen had no idea what to do with this skill, so he dismissed it for the time being. Next was Shadow Scar. The moment his gaze landed on it, the original 'incomplete' description changed. The remark changed to:
Shadow Scar (First Stage, Low Density): Traces of Shadow and Death entwined together, rotting and polluting like a shadow. (To upgrade, you need to soak in a rotten swamp. The raw materials of the rotten swamp are rotten bones, maggots, rotten blood, methane, and ice. The ratio is 1: 1: 1: 1: 1: 5. Time required: 0/100 hours.)
Arlen clenched his teeth. He couldn't help but imagine a disgusting scene in his mind. His expression grew increasingly gloomy. Most importantly, Hai needed 100 hours to complete the upgrade. How could it be as convenient as adding points to his attributes? Unfortunately, he didn't seem to have any other choice.
"If I had chosen the path of individual evolution back then, would I have …" Ya Erlin shook his head violently, tossing those meaningless thoughts to the back of his mind as he continued reading.
Then there was the Marine's Rokushiki "Shave", "Shigan", "Tekkai", "Paper Washes", "Geppō", and "Rankyaku". Each individual upgrade needed to increase the progress to the current full bar, and the conversion ratio between the progress and the absorption points was 1: 10. This definitely meant that it would consume a lot of points.
"Huh …"
The crack under his feet closed, and Yarlin walked out of the basement. His heavy footsteps alternated back and forth on the stairs, and the Den Den Mushi placed in the living room was making a "Gulu Gulu" sound.
The phone was connected, and listening to the hoarse and rough voice coming from the other side, Yarlin held the Den Den Mushi with one hand, and his deep eyes seemed to penetrate the barrier of space and saw Crocodile in a black coat on the opposite side. He pondered for a long time and replied: "Yes, I can delay it for up to a month."
"If the Marine Headquarters officially intervenes, then the current situation will be broken in an instant." The voice of the Marine Headquarters took a deep breath.
"The proposal of the Alabasta Military, you should be able to understand what this means for the Marine Headquarters. As long as this report appears on the desk of the Headquarters, then it will be passed at the fastest speed." Yarlin paused and said: "The time limit for the departure of the Fleet Admiral is getting shorter and shorter, and the competition between Admiral Aokiji and Admiral Akainu is getting fiercer and fiercer. At this critical time, the proposal of the Alabasta Military, I can't think of any way to stop the intervention of the Marine Headquarters."
In the dark gray room, the burly figure sitting on the leather sofa heard the words and crushed the cigarette butt with his fingers. He looked at the tall man standing in front of the mural with a blank expression.
The mural was dark red, like a burning flame cage. In the center of the sea of fire was a tall cross. On the cross was a burned body. The distorted body showed a twisted cruelty and despair.
The back of the man watching the mural was wearing a pink goose feather coat, with scarlet glasses like blood above his ears, and golden hair. The back of his head was facing Crocodile. It may be that he heard the voice in the Den Den Mushi, or it may be that he saw something funny in the mural, and his mouth made a strange low laugh.
Crocodile retracted his gaze, and his face showed a flash of fierceness, but the voice on his mouth remained steady: "I need some time to make adjustments, so I hope you can delay the time to report to the Marine Headquarters as much as possible."
"At most one month, otherwise, the Alabasta Military may lose patience and bypass me, a Marine Captain in Alabasta, and directly find a way to contact the high-level Marine Headquarters." Yarlin said. "This is an unexpected change. If you have any remedial measures, I hope you can seize this last time. Once the Marine Headquarters officially intervenes, my situation in Alabasta may be very awkward."
After a brief silence, the voice continued through the Den Den Mushi: "Even if the intervention of the Marine Headquarters is inevitable, I will find a way to minimize the intervention, at least to ensure that the Headquarters will not send a senior general to replace your position."
The call was hung up.
Yarlin's face showed a hint of suspicion, and a little whispered in his heart. "Sha Crocodile's question and answer on the phone seemed to be unexpectedly calm. I always feel that something is wrong. And there is another thing. As expected, Sha Crocodile knew about the secret plan of the Alabasta Military … In the meeting room, in addition to the Prime Minister and his chief of staff, the rest were the leaders of the three military regions … Interesting!"
