Chapter 986 985: Rank Advancement Rewards Boost!
What concept does the increase of one hundred thousand points in Life Value Limit represent? Before the rank promotion, Zhang Yanhang had a total Life Value Limit of just over forty thousand points. He thought that was already quite a lot, but unexpectedly, this time with a promotion, the Life Value Limit directly surged by nearly 2.5 times, which truly shocked him.
Yet, after the shock, Zhang Yanhang began to calm down and carefully analyze why there was such a terrifyingly huge increase.
"Before the rank promotion, I only had an eighty-eight-point maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient, but now, after promoting to the Fifth Tier, with the rank reward, the maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient increased by twenty points again, raising the maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient to one hundred and eight points."
Zhang Yanhang felt that in this Life Value increase, the contribution from these twenty points of maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient was certainly significant.
"Initially I had a total Life Value Limit of 43256 points, but now my Life Value Limit has directly surged to 142689 points, equivalent to a one-time increase of 99433 points in Life Value Limit, creating another exceptionally outrageous record."
Regarding why this situation occurred, considering it has now been divided into three stages, each having Life Value Limit of 29566/47563/65560 points, Zhang Yanhang believes the data panel must have consolidated the Life Value Limits from these three stages into a total Life Value Limit, which is why this outrageous situation has emerged.
Honestly speaking, Zhang Yanhang never thought such a scenario would occur before. He always thought that after turning into a three-section Blood Bar, he might really have three independent Blood Bars, and naturally, there wouldn't be any total Life Limit. But now, independence is present, yet not completely independent.
"Since the three-section blood bar has now been consolidated into a total Life Value Limit, then my Shield Value Limit should also surge to a rather exaggerated extent?"
Indeed, upon considering the total Life Value Limit, the first thing Zhang Yanhang thought of was his Shield Value Limit.
After all, his Shield Value Limit is determined corresponding to the Life Value Limit, now with a Life Value Limit increase of nearly one hundred thousand points, the Shield Value Limit is bound to be even more terrifying.
"But I'll talk about the Shield Value Limit later; for now, the most important thing is still the increase in Life Value Limit."
Regarding this increase in Life Value Limit, Zhang Yanhang believes it mainly divides into five parts. Firstly, the first part undoubtedly comes from the contribution brought by the improvement of Constitution Attribute. After accounting for the original eighty-eight-point maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient, this part provides a total increase of 2024 points in Life Value Limit.
The second part comes from the contribution of the maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient. After a twenty-point increase in the maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient and considering the 123-point Constitution Attribute, it provides a total increase of 2460 points in Life Value Limit.
The third part, naturally, is the Main Attribute reward. This time, the choice of Main Attribute reward was also to increase the Life Value Limit, and this single choice alone increased the Life Value Limit by 2340 points.
Therefore, calculated this way, just the amount of unchanged Basic Life Value Limit increase is already as high as 6824 points.
Next, the fourth part is the increase provided by Life Value Limit bonus. Now the Life Value Limit bonus rate has reached 208%, which means any increase in Life Value Limit can be directly increased by more than twice.
And under such high bonus, the Life Value Limit bonus certainly did not disappoint him, directly providing a 14194-point increase in Life Value Limit.
"Calculating this way, isn't it just with the Basic Life Value Limit and bonus parts combined, there's already 21018 points? So, even without the Heavenly Mastery Dominator Skill, the increase in Life Value Limit this time would still be a huge number; Heavenly Mastery Dominator just made this already huge number five times larger."
Therefore, theoretically, if there weren't the three-section Blood Bar from the Heavenly Mastery Dominator, Zhang Yanhang might normally only have 43256+21018=64274 points of Life Limit now.
And finally, the fifth stage enhancement naturally comes from the most contributing Heavenly Mastery Dominator Skill. Based on Zhang Yanhang's precise calculations, this time Heavenly Mastery Dominator provided a total increase of 78415 points in Life Value Limit.
The sum of these five parts accounts for all sources of the nearly one hundred thousand points increase in Life Value Limit this time.
Of course, the Heavenly Mastery Dominator seems significantly intimidating due to this being the first acquisition; Heavenly Mastery Dominator turned all previous Life Value Limits into Basic Life Value Limits and applied bonuses, enabling such substantial increase in Life Value Limit in one go.
In principle, the current three-section Blood Bar of Heavenly Mastery Dominator amounts to 222% of Life Value Limit. This part of the Life Value Limit and his previous Life Limit bonus belong to a multiplier relationship, thus resulting in this exaggerated increase.
"However, now that my Life Value Limit has been raised to the current level of 142689 points, the original small goal has suddenly been achieved ninety-nine times, given previous small goals were set at one thousand points of Life Value Limit each.
And my original small goal was a Life Value Limit of forty-four thousand points, but now the small goal has directly been pushed to one hundred forty-three thousand points, currently 311 points short of this small goal."
Nonetheless, now Zhang Yanhang feels this small goal of Life Value Limit increase by one thousand points each time is undoubtedly insufficient, so he decides to raise the small goal on the Life Value Limit side to equal the Shield Value side, which is five thousand points.
Therefore, his next small goal is actually a Life Value Limit of one hundred forty-five thousand points, currently 2311 points short of this small goal. With the current ridiculous increase rate of Heavenly Mastery Dominator, Zhang Yanhang believes this small goal will undoubtedly be easily accomplished afterward.
"Besides Life Value Limit, although I didn't care much previously, now the Life Value Recovery Speed, which is hard not to care about, also benefited from the rank promotion, further increasing.
Originally, I only had a Life Value Recovery Speed of seventy-one points in total, and this time it was directly raised to 119 points, equivalent to a one-time increase of 48 points in Life Value Recovery Speed."
For this recovery speed boost, Zhang Yanhang did a quick calculation and found it seemed different from before, or rather, it seemed to have improved even more than before.
Zhang Yanhang remembered that when he advanced to the Fourth Tier last time, his Life Value recovery speed increased by twenty points. Since this boost doubles with each rank advancement, logically, the Fifth Tier should grant an increase of forty points.
Apart from the rank advancement rewards, enhancing the Constitution attribute also boosts Life Value recovery speed. According to previous experiences, every five points in Constitution attribute should increase it by one point. After raising his Constitution attribute to 123 points this time, he should have gained an additional four points in Life Value recovery speed.
"But even if we add it all up, it's only a forty-four-point increase in Life Value recovery speed. Where did the extra four points come from?"
But soon, Zhang Yanhang thought of a new possibility: the Life Value recovery speed provided by the Constitution attribute might have increased. Thinking carefully, it made sense. It's indeed a bit low for five points in Constitution attribute to provide just one point in Life Value recovery speed, and it's finally improved with his rank advancement.
Thus, Zhang Yanhang believes that now every five points in Constitution attribute should grant him two points in Life Value recovery speed, which explains why there's an additional four-point improvement this time, making it a total of forty-eight-point boost in recovery speed.
"However, despite this, it's still speculation. To verify it practically, I'll need to wait until the Constitution attribute reaches 125 points. Then, by checking whether the Life Value recovery speed increases by one point or two, I can confirm it."
Of course, from a probability perspective, Zhang Yanhang actually thinks it's very likely. After all, the forty-point reward from the rank advancement fits perfectly, which should not inexplicably become a forty-four-point odd boost. So, only the Constitution attribute seems suspect.
"No matter what, an increase in Life Value recovery speed is surely a good thing. With this boost, the breathing and healing speed of my Eternal Demon Body should take another significant leap."
Zhang Yanhang plans to upgrade the Eternal Demon Body after checking the Life Value Limit, Shield Value Limit, and Energy value limit to see how high the breathing and healing can be once the Eternal Demon Body truly showcases its potential through upgrades.
"In terms of pure Life Value recovery speed, mine is definitely slow as a turtle. It only recovers 119 Life Value per hour. With my current Life Value Limit of 140,000, it takes about 1,200 hours to fully recover to the Life Value Limit autonomously, which amounts to a full fifty days."
Since Zhang Yanhang entered the Ashen World and up until his advancement to the Fifth Tier, only a bit more than a month has passed. Therefore, being able to recover to full Life Value autonomously in fifty days, almost two months, is practically useless for him.
However, this is merely the basic Life Value recovery speed. If the Life Value Recovery Speed Bonus is included, it actually performs much better.
Zhang Yanhang currently has a Life Value Recovery Speed Bonus of 2580%, so after the boost, his actual Life Value recovery speed is 3,189 points per hour, which is indeed much better.
Yet even at this rate, he still needs forty-five hours, almost two days, to fully recover to his Life Value Limit.
And speaking of this, Zhang Yanhang couldn't help but remember the small goal he had, which always became invalid right after achieving it.
Just before advancing to the next Tier, he completed it successfully: reducing the time to recover to full Life Value to under twenty-four hours. Yet upon advancing, it immediately became invalid again due to the unavoidable Heavenly Mastery Dominator Body.
Without the Heavenly Mastery Dominator Body, this small goal would pretty much never fail. Of course, invalidation is a good thing for him, so it just makes him happy.
"After advancing to the Fifth Tier, my same Tier awakened are now Fifth Tier Awakened. A normal Fifth Tier Awakened approximately possesses a Maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient of 65 points, calculated as 15+5+10+15+20=65. Then, multiplied by 125 points in Constitution attribute, they generally have a Life Value Limit of 8,125 points."
Previously, in the Fourth Tier, Zhang Yanhang's best record was only to achieve a Life Value Limit 9.6 times that of Same Tier Awakened.
But now, after advancing to the Fifth Tier, it's different. With the presence of the Heavenly Mastery Dominator Body, his Life Value Limit multiplier has soared to 17.6 times that of a Fifth Tier Awakened. Compared to his previous record, it's a direct eightfold increase, and just a little bit more and it would have doubled.
"Previously, my small goal was to reach ten times the Life Value Limit of Same Tier Awakened. Now this small goal has been easily achieved by the Heavenly Mastery Dominator Body, even completing a total of eight small goals together, pushing my next small goal to reaching 18 times the Life Value Limit of Fifth Tier Awakened.
Currently, I'm just 0.4 times away from this 18 times Life Value Limit small goal, making it relatively easy to achieve."
Even though Zhang Yanhang has directly increased the Life Value Limit small goal by five times, he doesn't plan to enhance this goal for now. After all, each time the Life Value Limit increases by just one time, it's 8,125 Life Value, which is still quite a lot for him currently and not easily increased.
Of course, if it becomes really easy in the future, he surely would make adjustments, as small goals are meant to be dynamically changing.
"With my current Life Value Limit equivalent to eighteen Fifth Tier Awakened, there's absolutely no chance of losing when facing the same Tier awakened."
Especially the group leader, Zhang Yanhang firmly believes he can easily handle him now, shaping him as he wishes. Well, he could do that before too.
Hence, he feels his actual strength might now be more comparable to those elder level Sixth Tier Awakened involved in writing the Limitless Universe Skill, although it's actually unnecessary. He won't have any conflicts with them, and it's indeed hard for conflicts to arise, given that the authorities and the Empire are not just for decoration.
Zhang Yanhang guessed that even if a fight does break out, it would probably soon get mediated like the time he destroyed Greenland, with someone stepping in to resolve disputes. After all, while people can be resurrected, breaking Earth is truly not worth it.
