In the game.
Today an unexpected guest arrived at Mountain of Tribulation.
A Bird Demon the size of a palm slowly flew through the clouds and landed on the shoulder of the Thousand Feet Stone Buddha at the mountainās center.
With a bang.
The Bird Demon suddenly exploded into a mist of blood, which splattered onto the Stone Buddha, and in an instant, was completely absorbed.
At that moment, the eyes of the Thousand Feet Stone Buddha slightly opened a crack.
Rumble!!!
Though it was only a tiny movement, the noise it created was as earth-shattering as thunder.
"Master?"
The black bird was startled awake first.
The one-year period hadnāt arrived yet.
"Zhou failed."
Zhou? The demon organization led by that human?
The black bird felt it was expected.
"Only the Master can accomplish this."
"Itās different."
Though it was said to be different, the Stone Buddha didnāt specify how it was different.
The black bird listened respectfully but found that the Master had already closed its eyes again, with no further movement.
Thousands of clones, perceiving the world.
Probably nothing in this world can be hidden from the Master.
The black bird looked up at the sky; if even the mere Zhou can somewhat shake this Heaven, then maybe this Heaven isnāt so unattainable after all!
...
"...So, is the power of Believers fluctuating?"
On the main road, Fang Yu asked in confusion.
"To be precise, itās based on the different types of Spirit you have; the strength varies greatly, with huge fluctuations. For example, a flower-grade Martial Artist, if purely a Believer, might be able to exert five times, even ten times, their fighting power."
"Of course, Iām just giving an example. In reality, itās very hard to judge the combat strength of Believers by Martial Artist standards."
Fang Yu scratched his head.
So a 100-blood Believer might have 500-blood combat power, or 1000-blood combat power?
Then, Monk Quan Heng with thousand blood power must be extremely strong...
Fang Yu recalled that the demon forces indeed had some apprehension towards Baoan Temple, but not to that extent.
After all, if Monk Quan Heng truly had the combat power of a human Martial Artist at ten thousand blood level, demons would have been eager to eliminate him, and Lord Lan wouldnāt tolerate such a threat.
So Monk Quan Hengās strength is probably under the Demon Leader, but above the demon body level?
So five to six thousand blood, or seven thousand blood Martial Artist level?
Plus, the Believerās restraint against demons means that an eight thousand blood Demon Leader might not be without a fighting chance; only the odds of winning should be quite low.
But saying that, average demons probably donāt want to face Believers who have special restraint effects against demons as opponents, without any mutual interest or conflict, preferring not to provoke Believers, as the risk is substantial.
Though all this is just Fang Yuās speculation, based on Ding Huiās description, it should be eight or nine out of ten, right?
But specifically, you still need to actually fight Believers to know; so far, among those Fang Yu has encountered, the number of Believers is very few, leaving almost no reference data.
"So that means... once I master the power of Spirit, my strength will increase severalfold?"
Fang Yu pointed at himself.
Ding Hui slightly shook his head: "Hard to say. Your current power as a Believer is just starting, what extent you can reach, I donāt know. Plus, the Bloodline Spirit doesnāt fall within the conventional Believer category, so even if you activate the power of Spirit, your combat strength should be less than that of conventional Believers. But..."
Ding Huiās mouth curled into a slight smile.
"Bloodline Spirit is a completely new field. Although you havenāt activated Bloodline Spiritās power yet, you should have noticed... Diao Ruru has no ability."
Upon hearing Second Sisterās name, Fang Yuās expression turned gloomy.
But he suppressed his emotions; the matter had passed, he couldnāt bring himself to harm Ding Hui, moreover, to separate Second Sister he canāt do it without Ding Huiās help.
What matters now is to grasp the power of Spirit, first revive Sister Jin, then discuss other things.
"Because Bloodline Spirit has no ability, Iām weaker than others?" Fang Yu asked.
"No, because without ability, thereās a strong plasticity, meaning theoretically, if I can study it thoroughly, you can seize the abilities of other Spirits."
After pausing, Ding Hui wanted to explain to Fang Yu in a more straightforward way.
"You should know that Believers need to constantly iterate Spirit to avoid having their mind eroded. Erosion is irreversible; once it goes up, only by continually replacing Spirit, changing to a higher intensity new Spirit, suppressing the old Spirit, can the Erosion Level be reset."
"But Bloodline Spirit, as an artificial Spirit, behaves differently in this regard. Through dissecting Li Xunxue... In short, after researching this example of Li Xunxue, I found that the creator of Bloodline Spirit left a path that basically extends the route of Believers."
"That is, through continuously producing offspring, with better quality offspring, replacing the old Bloodline Spirit."
At this point, Ding Hui was in an excited state, tapping his temple with his finger.
"However, that fellowās mind is too rigid."
"Bloodline Spirit is an unprecedentedly new species, naturally, it can optimize and iterate through the path of Believers, with the bloodline path, even intentionally cultivate new offspring with abilities. But at the same time, we can deviate from habitual thinking, through seizure means, letting the power of Spirit infuse into the Bloodline Spirit container, making the original container develop new abilities."
"As for whether this approach can alter Erosion Level, thatās unknown at the moment. Thereās too much unknown, needing step-by-step exploration and research to find out. Diao Deyi, youāre like a whole new species, a new field, placed before me, with too many unknowns needing to be unraveled, to extract bit by bit from you, to get answers."
