I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Xue Jing's gaze once again fell on the Divinity column.

[Divinity Held: 9670]

The harvest from Xu's Biology, combined with what he had just obtained from The Blade That Never Dulls, brought his Divinity to the brink of surpassing ten thousand once more.

It was about time to spend some, otherwise he always felt an itch in his heart.

"Then first..."

Xue Jing opened [True Martial].

[True Martial Lv2 (Transcendent)]

[Upgrade Requirement: Experience Points 20000/20000, Divinity 9670/1000]

Without hesitation, he pressed the upgrade button.

[True Martial Lv3 (Transcendent)]

[Upgrade Requirement: Experience Points 0/40000, Divinity 8670/2000]

Before he even had the chance to feel the changes in his body, Xue Jing was stunned by the requirements to upgrade True Martial to Lv3.

"Huh? The amount of Divinity required for the upgrade increased?"

In the past, whether it was the initial enhancement or upgrading from Lv1 to Lv2, and from Lv2 to Lv3, each only required 1000 points of Divinity, leading him to believe that every level-up would only need a thousand...

He hadn't expected what awaited him here.

"The Divinity required to go from Lv3 to Lv4 has risen by a thousand... it seems different from what I had expected before, even the Experience Points requirement has doubled."

Xue Jing pondered, somewhat puzzled.

"I was too optimistic before, the Divinity shortfall is much larger than I had imagined."

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about the shortage of Divinity. He would leave these issues to his future self.

Xue Jing continued to browse through the panel.

[Weapon Master Lv1 (Transcendent)]

[Upgrade Requirement: Experience Points 10000/10000, Divinity 8670/1000]

He clicked to upgrade.

[Weapon Master Lv2 (Transcendent)]

[Upgrade Requirement: Experience Points 0/20000, Divinity 7670/1000]

These Extraordinary Skills were all quite useful, directly affecting his base combat strength. As long as he had an abundance of Divinity, he would upgrade whenever possible.

After completing the upgrades, Xue Jing clenched his hands, experiencing the changes in his body.

For [True Martial], similar to when he had upgraded from Lv1 to Lv2, the Power channeled out was clearly stronger, and his control over his body more fine-tuned and effortless.

The overall enhancement to his combat power still needed testing.

As for [Weapon Master]...

Xue Jing willed it.

A stream of platinum color gradually covered his entire body, like a metallic film had been plated over his skin, making him look like a robot crafted from metal.

"The enhancement effect of [Weapon Master]'s armament has a 'quantity' limit, so the larger the coverage area, the weaker the effect..."

Xue Jing took a moment to gauge.

"After rising to Lv2, the 'quantity' seemed to increase by about half compared to Lv1, reaching 1.5 times the previous amount, not bad."

He nodded in approval.

This also meant that, when he used it to strengthen weapons in his hand, the enhancement effect on the weapons was 1.5 times that of Lv1.

This was a significant improvement, especially for someone who possessed 'Feather Transformation' and could remotely control weapons in battle.

"Exact details will be tested later, next..."

Xue Jing looked towards the Divine Skill column.

[Twin Lifes Lv5]

[Shadow Flame Lv10]

[Plant Pact Lv6]

[Dragon Horn Lv5]

[Feather Transformation Lv5]

"Currently, I have five Divine Skills... Shadow Flame is already perfectly sufficient for now, and the Divine Incarnation has been activated. Investing further in it, each level-up requires too much Divinity, and although the upgrades are significant, the cost-effectiveness isn't that high."

"The best approach is, as I previously thought, to focus on one skill first, take it to Lv10, and then create another Divine Incarnation."

"Which one should I upgrade first?"

Xue Jing's eyes showed contemplation.

"Hmm... first off, eliminate [Plant Pact]; currently there are no more powerful plant seeds to make a pact with, Dragon Cherry is sufficient, and upgrading would only strengthen Dragon Cherry, yielding comparatively smaller returns."

"As for [Dragon Horn]... with Feather Transformation, the skill's use for flight is gone, leaving only the potency of Dragon Thunder and the gravity-altering effects... It's worth upgrading by one level, after all it's necessary for martial arts training, but it can't be a primary point for investment."

That left only [Twin Lifes] and [Feather Transformation]...

"Upgrading [Feather Transformation] is currently the highest direct gain to strength."

"It can increase the Blue Bar, control more 'Feathered Objects', and directly improve the flight speed and killing power of the 'Feathered Objects'..."

For Xue Jing, who had mastered 'Mahayana Flying Sword', upgrading Feather Transformation could bring quite noticeable improvement to his strength... at least in terms of long-range combat capabilities.

"As for [Twin Lifes]..."

Xue Jing's gaze settled on this Divine Skill that was the first he had activated.

He had a special affection for this skill that had helped him weather many difficulties early on, and even now, [Twin Lifes] still played a crucial role, greatly enhancing his combat abilities.

However, due to the special mechanism of [Twin Lifes] upgrades, every level-up activated a physical attribute to double its capability. The best and most noticeable effects, he had already activated all of them.

The remaining options, compared to other Divine Skills that could directly amplify his combat power, weren't as potent, so Xue Jing had put the upgrade for [Twin Lifes] on hold for a long time without touching it.

"However, things are different now."

Xue Jing murmured.

His combat strength was now considerably powerful.

For example, if his previous strength was 10 and upgrading [Twin Lifes] could raise it by 1, while upgrading [Shadow Flame] could directly raise it by 5, he would naturally choose to upgrade Shadow Flame.

But now, with his strength at 100, upgrading other Divine Skills for a mere increase of 3 to 4 points in strength wasn't critical.

On the other hand, the benefits of upgrading [Twin Lifes] became more substantial to him at this stage.

The most important aspect was Twin Lifes' passive ability, resurrection.

With every level-up reducing the cooldown by 10 days, this effect became increasingly significant later on.

The current Lv5 had a cooldown of fifty days, which didn't seem too impressive, and Lv6 at forty days wasn't much better.
