"This time, the Heavenly Mastery Dominator Body and Eternal Demon Body have indeed upgraded to a new stage in terms of upgrade requirements, just as I had previously expected. Merely upgrading from LV.1 to LV.2 requires 819,200 Soul points. If calculated based on doubling the requirement for each subsequent upgrade, it might soon rise to the point where upgrading once would cost tens of millions of Soul points, similar to other skills."

Since upgrading the Heavenly Mastery Dominator Body and Eternal Demon Body requires a relatively high amount of Soul points, Zhang Yanhang decided to prioritize upgrading the skill level of the Three-Headed Six-Armed Skill. Although the Heavenly Mastery Dominator Body and the Eternal Demon Body are indeed excellent, they are passive skills, whereas the Three-Headed Six-Armed skill is more advantageous in terms of enhancing capabilities.

"Therefore, I choose option ten, upgrading 'Three-Headed Six-Armed LV.MAX' to 'Three-Headed Six-Armed[Mutated·Eight Arms and Eight Feet]LV.5'."

After reviewing all the upgrade options, Zhang Yanhang promptly chose the relatively less expensive Three-Headed Six-Armed Skill for his upgrade.

......

Monday, November 2nd, the day after Halloween, also the first day Zhang Yanhang left the Ashen World, 6:45 in the morning, Qin Island City, Xingfuli District, Apartment 505, Bedroom.

After successfully upgrading the Three-Headed Six-Armed Skill to Eight Arms and Eight Feet, Zhang Yanhang did not rush to immediately check the skill effects at the Eight Arms and Eight Feet stage. Instead, he first opened his Soul point balance for review.

[Soul points: 78,296,627（-19,660,800）]

"After completing the upgrade to Eight Arms and Eight Feet, my Soul point balance, which had just dropped below one hundred million, promptly decreased by nearly twenty million, bringing my balance down to less than eighty million Soul points."

As for the specific consumption of Soul points, Zhang Yanhang spent 6,553,600 Soul points upgrading to Eight Arms and Eight Feet LV.5, and 13,107,200 Soul points upgrading to Eight Arms and Eight Feet LV.6. Although Eight Arms and Eight Feet is somewhat special, it still shares the same upgrade consumption pattern as other skills.

"Now I only have seventy-eight million two hundred ninety-six thousand Soul points left, and I'm unsure whether it will be enough to upgrade other skills."

In addition to upgrading the Limitless Universe Skill twice, Zhang Yanhang also intends to upgrade the Heavenly Mastery Dominator Body and Eternal Demon Body to LV.6 to unlock some additional attributes. However, based on the current Soul point balance, it's uncertain whether he can achieve this small goal.

"Furthermore, upon advancing to the Eight Arms and Eight Feet stage, I also consumed one Legendary Essence and one Ash Source. Originally, I had eleven Legendary Essences and eighteen Ash Sources, but now I only have ten Legendary Essences and seventeen Ash Sources remaining."

Fortunately, the Heavenly Mastery Dominator Body and Eternal Demon Body currently don't require advancement. Otherwise, Zhang Yanhang's Legendary Essence count might immediately drop below double digits.

After briefly checking the consumption of Soul points, Zhang Yanhang immediately opened the skill effects of his Three-Headed Six-Armed Skill for review.

[Three-Headed Six-Armed[Mutated·Eight Arms and Eight Feet]LV.6（Active skill）]

[Active Effect: Upon skill activation, the Heavenly Destiny Master can generate additional limbs by consuming 1,200 (+150) × 16 (+7) [number of limbs]=19,200 (+9,750) Energy points.

Currently available for limb generation: Heads ×4 (+1) [Generated: 3], Arms ×6 [Generated: 6], Legs ×6 (+6) [Generated: 0].

The Heavenly Destiny Master uses the limbs generated by the Three-Headed Six-Armed Skill as real limbs, with effects exactly matching those of the Heavenly Destiny Master's own limbs. If the primary head of the Heavenly Destiny Master is destroyed, the main consciousness will automatically transfer to the secondary head, converting it into the primary head of the Heavenly Destiny Master.

If limbs generated by the Three-Headed Six-Armed Skill are destroyed, they can regenerate by consuming Energy points, with no cooldown time. Regeneration of each additional limb costs 1,200 Energy points (+150 points).

The limbs generated by the Three-Headed Six-Armed Skill will permanently exist, but will require a small amount of Physical Strength to manifest, remaining hidden under normal circumstances.

When limbs are manifested, they provide 120% (+20%) ×8 [number of arms]=960% (+160%) Physical Attack Bonus, 240% (+40%) ×5 (+1) [number of heads]=1,200% (+400%) Energy Attack Bonus, 120% (+120%) ×8 (+6) [number of legs]=960% (+960%) Attack Speed Bonus.]

[Additional Attributes: Copper Head Iron Forehead—When the head is manifested, Attack Power is increased by an additional 60%.]

[Additional Attributes: Impenetrable—When the arms are manifested, defensive power is increased by an additional 90%.]

[Additional Attributes: Flying Sand and Rolling Stones—When the legs are manifested, Movement Speed is increased by an additional 120%.]

"Goodness, after advancing to Eight Arms and Eight Feet LV.6, I actually grew an additional six legs? This is quite impressive!"

To be honest, although Zhang Yanhang had a premonition about this, he didn't expect Eight Arms and Eight Feet to be so generous. Just reaching LV.6 gifted him with a total of six extra legs.

Initially, Zhang Yanhang assumed that Eight Arms and Eight Feet would likely behave like before, adding two extra legs upon acquiring the skill, another two at LV.6, and final two at LV.MAX, reaching Three-Headed Six-Armed Six-Legged at LV.MAX.

Unexpectedly, Eight Arms and Eight Feet were far more generous than anticipated, or perhaps more powerful, giving him not only six additional legs but also another head. From now on, he's the man with five heads, and when combined with the Crimson Iron Shark Teeth, he becomes the 'Life-taking Five-headed Shark'.

"According to the current situation, Eight Arms and Eight Feet, being a higher-level skill, might have provided four legs from the start at LV.5, while the remaining two legs and one head were likely gained upon advancing to LV.6."

Thus, given the skill's name of Eight Arms and Eight Feet, Zhang Yanhang believes it likely has potential for further growth, perhaps helping him gain two more arms and two more legs, achieving the complete Eight-Armed Eight-Legged Super Spiderman mode, or alternatively, the Super Tentacle Monster mode.

But anyway, Zhang Yanhang will definitely become more and more like a monster, and coupled with the enormous size, he indeed gets even closer to becoming like a Demon God.

However, based on past experience, Zhang Yanhang believes that his remaining two legs and two arms are likely to be obtained only when the Eight Arms and Eight Feet upgrade reaches LV.MAX.

"But unfortunately, for now, I basically can't upgrade the Eight Arms and Eight Feet, so the complete version of Eight Arms and Eight Feet will have to wait until later to be fully acquired."

Zhang Yanhang just looked and found that the subsequent upgrade requirements for Three-Headed Six-Armed are still the same as other skills, requiring over twenty-six million Soul points, and that's just for LV.7, while LV.8 is estimated to need over fifty million Soul points. Thus, the complete version of Eight Arms and Eight Feet is destined to wait until after clearing the Permanent Teleportation Channel to be available.

"However, with the increase in skill level, the consumption needed to generate the number of limbs now has further increased. Originally, before promotion, generating an additional limb only consumed 1050 points of Energy Value, but now it has grown again by one hundred and fifty points of Energy Value, and it requires twelve hundred points of Energy Value to generate an additional limb.

Moreover, the number of limbs I've generated has seen a massive increase. Initially, I only had three heads and six arms to generate, totaling nine additional limbs, but now there are four heads, six arms, and six legs needing to upgrade, totaling sixteen additional limbs, seven more than before."

This has resulted in just only one level increase, but Zhang Yanhang now generates all limbs with energy consumption that has doubled compared to before.

Originally, Zhang Yanhang only needed 9450 points of Energy Value to generate all the additional limbs, but now it requires 19200 points of Energy Value to generate all additional limbs, an increase of 9750 points in total consumption, which means that just this increase alone already surpasses the entire Energy Value consumption previously.

"I remember before my rank promotion, the Energy Value limit was only 19844 points. In other words, if I could only maintain the original level of Energy Value limit, I wouldn't even be able to generate all the additional limbs at once soon enough, especially considering the additional two legs and two arms at LV.MAX waiting."

However, fortunately, Zhang Yanhang has been promoted in rank now, so the Energy Value limit should gain a huge increase, and he shouldn't worry too much about being unable to regenerate additional limbs.

"However, considering that the energy consumption for generating additional limbs will continue to increase with the skill level of Three-Headed Six-Armed, and coupled with more limbs being added, whether I can afford the Energy Value needed to generate all limbs at once in the future is still an unknown."

Zhang Yanhang is quite concerned about limb generation since, to some extent, it is also considered a survival mechanism. In the skill effect of Three-Headed Six-Armed, it is explicitly marked that when his own head is exploded, the secondary head generated from the original additional limbs will automatically convert into the main head.

So, in such situations, whether he can afford the consumption brought by additional limb regeneration is naturally a critical issue, otherwise, having the capability without the Energy Value to use would be truly embarrassing.

Moreover, it has to be used quickly and frequently, because since the enemy can blow up one of his heads, they naturally have the potential to blow up more heads. At this time, his consciousness needs to constantly circulate between more additional heads to delay time, either to defeat the enemy during this period or to successfully escape.

Therefore, in this regard, the creation of additional limbs is indeed an extremely important matter.

Aside from the increase in Energy Value required for regenerating additional limbs, Zhang Yanhang also noticed that after upgrading to Eight Arms and Eight Feet LV.6, the bonus each additional limb provides has increased again.

Zhang Yanhang believes the increase in bonuses is perhaps one of the main reasons for the increased energy consumption during additional limb regeneration, since making additional limbs stronger naturally requires more Energy Value to generate them, which is very normal and adheres to the law of energy conservation.

"Originally, each arm could only provide 100% of Physical Attack Bonus, but now it has increased to 120%, a 20% increase compared to before."

And with my eight arms, the physical bonus provided by Three-Headed Six-Armed has increased from 800% to 960%, which is equivalent to a total increase of 160% Physical Attack Bonus."

In other words, Zhang Yanhang's physical attack can now inflict 10.6 times the physical damage, but such a high physical attack bonus can only be enjoyed when all additional limbs are manifested.

In normal circumstances, he can only rely on the bonus provided by his original two arms through glitches, which is a 240% Physical Attack Power Bonus.

"And although the physical attack bonus from the arms is already enough, the Energy Attack Bonus provided by the heads has undoubtedly increased even more.

Before my promotion, each head could only provide a 200% Energy Attack Bonus, and now it has increased to a 240% bonus, representing an additional 40% Energy Attack Bonus."

Therefore, combined with my additional newly gained head and my original head, five heads together provide a total 1200% Energy Attack Bonus for me, a 400% increase compared to the previous 800%, equivalent to a fifty percent increase."

So it's really no wonder Zhang Yanhang is unimpressed with the 130% Energy Attack Bonus from the previous Intelligence Main Attribute reward, because compared to this, there's no comparison. Just casually upgrading to LV.6 has tripled the main attribute reward's energy attack bonus here.

Therefore, by comparison, the increase in the scarce Energy Value limit is indeed more useful to him.

And similarly, because Zhang Yanhang naturally carried a head, even in normal condition, he can enjoy a 240% Energy Attack Bonus as well. It must be said that this mysterious feeling of exploiting a loophole and gaining wool that was originally unobtainable is always extremely satisfying.

And if all additional heads are manifested, then Zhang Yanhang's energy attack can now cause 13 times the original energy damage, which is really quite absurd.

"With the promotion to the Eight Arms and Eight Feet stage, the additional legs have also received related bonuses, but strangely, this bonus is in Attack Speed? In normal circumstances, shouldn't having more legs increase Movement Speed?

Could it be that Chi You was actually more adept at leg attacks in his lifetime? Hence the bonus to Attack Speed?"

Of course, compared to this explanation, Zhang Yanhang thinks that the addition of more legs but with a bonus to Attack Speed might just be a matter of skill positioning, since Three-Headed Six-Armed indeed leans more towards the attack aspect.
