242: Chapter 223: Ignition 242: Chapter 223: Ignition For a newcomer, Lu Ping’an’s growth rate is exceedingly outrageous. The boots under his feet and the “ladle” on his back are both genuine silver taboo items, which should be stored in the Bureau of Anomaly Management’s vault for a long time. Even if they were assigned to someone, it would typically be someone of fifth-tier and above who would have the qualifications to possess them for an extended period. “Heavenly Boots adjusted okay, enough ‘Aging’ magic potion, and the cost has been paid sufficiently.” Lu Ping’an was making his final battle preparations. At this point, any calculation was in vain, and he eventually had to take action personally. The light silver metal on his right arm is also the work of a “master” and is no worse than high-quality brass-level taboo items. Its design is the simplest and most realistic “mechanical exoskeleton,” mainly to increase strength as a primary war add-on machine… Lu Ping’an understood that the absolute difference in basic attributes was his biggest weakness. When your strength is just a fraction of your opponent’s, any attack would be meaningless. Before acquiring these “Balance Boots,” Lu Ping’an tried to compensate for this flaw, but what the Heavenly Boots truly made up for was not pure power. “Snap!” With a gentle flick, the silver coin flipped back and forth in mid-air. Lu Ping’an watched it intently, clearly seeing the “characters” and “heads” spinning back and forth. When the coin fell in front of him, he flicked it with his finger and split it right in half, turning it into two identical halves. This seemingly simple action actually requires the complete mobilization of physique, reaction, and spirit; dynamic vision, reaction speed, strength techniques, and concentration all have to be online. “… Is this perfect balance?” The word “perfect” has a unique connotation in the world of superhumans. Lu Ping’an achieved “perfection” for the first time (his three basic attributes reached Black Iron Lower Level), activating the source of his bloodline and obtaining the “Blessing of Ten Thousand Spirits.” The second time he heard about “perfection” was the Divine Envoy forcibly demoted and the Fishman Sword Saint with a “perfect template.” The third time, also obtained from the “Divine Envoy,” was the “perfect bloodline” derived from the Divine Envoy, allowing the wearer of Heavenly Boots to forcibly balance three attributes and achieve a “perfect state.” Lu Ping’an could feel that every part of his body could be mobilized, his spiritual power was sharp and full, and his dynamic vision was ready to explode at any time. “Perfection, it seems, is not as simple as it seems on the surface. It is a state, a state of complete balance, a state that can be further advanced at any time…” Lu Ping’an realized that the value of these Heavenly Boots far exceeded his previous estimates. This was a state similar to that of a “tightrope dancer,” an excellent state for cultivation, combat, and advancement. With this “permanent perfect state,” he didn’t have to worry too much about the “self-conflict” of using abilities, various equipment could be used relatively easily, and even cultivation would become easier. Loosening his shoulders and pinching his palms, Lu Ping’an could feel that all his weapons, including the arm armor on his right shoulder and the boot armor on his feet, were ready to explode at any moment. At the same time, he was secretly glad that he took the Soldier Path, so all these miscellaneous weapons could benefit from his mastery. “Tsk, there are not enough markers for All Weapons At Will.” There are only three markers for Black-iron level All Weapons At Will (switching weapon abnormal ability), and Lu Ping’an has more than three main weapons. Battle Axe or War Scythe, once the only brass taboo item in the family, were now somewhat falling behind. After some thought, he added a marker to his “weapons belt.” Inside, there were jars containing the blooming “Xis White Flowers” (hypnotic potions), specially modified explosives, and magic potions focusing on specific aspects. “If I can make it back alive this time, I’ll upgrade the soldier path as well. I find it increasingly useful.” Although it seemed like he was setting a flag, Lu Ping’an genuinely thought so. After matching this set of equipment and putting on the modified uniform of the Special Service Team… This was already the best preparation his family could provide, yet it seemed to be falling behind the times. With this outfit, he doesn’t deserve to have a matching fifth-sixth tier. He pondered for a moment. Even without the magic plants, he could pretend to be a close combat professional and should be comparable to an ordinary third-tier combat power, right? “Your abnormal ability is not enough, but your basic ability is almost there. Plus your chaotic equipment, defeating a weaker third-tier won’t be difficult.” The big cat’s evaluation was relatively objective. Hearing this, Lu Ping’an sighed helplessly. In a sense, he should be grateful to the big cat. The origin of his abilities was the “legacy” of this creature. But thinking about the troubles that “it” had brought and the extremely annoying “Land of Rules,” Lu Ping’an felt quite powerless. “…Such disgusting and sinister rules, I can’t believe you came up with them.” In fact, the big cat was Lu Ping’an’s first external enhancement. He could learn the truth about the “courtyard” from her, knowing that there were hidden rules and extremely vicious traps. “Thank you for the compliment.” The big cat was pleased, genuinely taking it as a compliment. In the “Earthly Divine Kingdom” bound by “rules,” rules must be absolutely fair, even for the designers and executors themselves. They must abide by the rules they set. Three rules meant three rules. However, following merely the form of fairness would result in extreme unfairness to the outcome. The rules of the casino were simple and transparent, but the winners were never the gamblers… All it needed was for you to accept its rules and keep playing along, never ending up as the loser. Thinking of the endless pitfalls in the Land of Rules, Lu Ping’an could only sigh helplessly, hoping that others could take his “instructions” seriously. Otherwise, not many people might make it back alive this time… At least the person in front of him wouldn’t listen. “Are you not ready yet?” Fang Wen was a little impatient. She couldn’t wait. Just hearing the Secret Realm rule that “you can get other people’s life chips” made her heart tremble… Wasn’t this ability to plunder others’ lives the prerequisite for her to give “machinery true life”? She couldn’t wait to set off, wreak havoc, and search for the opportunity to advance. “Don’t worry, let the bullets fly for a while.” Lu Ping’an looked at the situation not far away. Explosions, killing roars, and screams were heard in succession, as more and more “hunters” entered the fray… Many “big fish” and “small fish” had jumped out. Those attracted by the “Quasi-God heritage” were not only from the Church of Life. Many more were lurking in the shadows. Some had insufficient strength and dared not compete with the sixth-tier powerhouses, while others were like packs of wild dogs hiding in the shadows, waiting for the chance to kill. Now, with the “treasure” appearing and only needing to kill on the periphery to gain the “gift” of life, many of them naturally came running. Among them were local, somewhat famous civilian Secret Keepers and masked off-duty “Special Service Team” members. When the reality of people advancing unexpectedly on the battlefield spread, more infiltrators were eager to join in. Lu Ping’an was not in a hurry. Entering now would only make him prey. Let them struggle for a while… Was the “gift” of a Quasi-God, or even the gift of a life God of the evil side, easily obtainable? He patiently waited for all participants to accept this “rule” and be unable to extricate themselves when deeply trapped. “Big Cat, do you think it’s possible that your failure in Ascension was because your designed rules were too unscrupulous?” He still had time to stab the cat’s heart. “….” The big cat was silent. Don’t say it; she did feel it was possible. It was not simply because it was “too unscrupulous,” but rather “calculative,” which aroused an even stronger “counter-current of fate.” Ascension was inherently against the heavens, proving your “truth” to the world, being a “truth” that deserved to exist forever… Naturally, it wouldn’t be successful so easily. All those who Ascended faced “bad luck’s obstruction” and barely succeeded in the end by fighting to the last. For those like the big cat who were calculating and directly skipped the class (under normal circumstances, they would definitely succeed in Ascension, sacrificing numerous offerings), it seemed to have suffered a severe counterattack from heaven. And now, when the unsolvable Land of Rules was laid before her, the big cat herself was troubled. Perhaps this was also a kind of counter-current. “It’s time to set off. Heh, have you thought about how to face my unsolvable ritual of Ascension?” The big cat changed the subject. “Unsolvable? Losing to a mortal’s ‘unsolvable’?” Lu Ping’an successfully stabbed the heart again, and with the “culprit’s” unhappiness, he completed his pre-battle relaxation.
