Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Chapter 430: Chapter 215 Fisherman_2

The only way to live is by swapping [Spirit].

This means that under fixed spiritual intensity, the number of times a Believer uses [Spirit] is limited, and even if nothing is done, this Erosion Level will gradually increase over time.

In a situation where the spiritual limit cannot be transcended, the lifespan of a Believer, from the moment they obtain [Spirit], has already begun its countdown.

Each use of the power of the Spirit intensifies the progression of this countdown.

It is almost a dead end.

Hence, the operation of swapping [Spirit] was devised.

Before reaching one’s personal Erosion Level limit, a Believer must find a new [Spirit], expel the old [Spirit] from the body, and accept the new one.

This operation is also extremely complex, as the old [Spirit] will not willingly give up the flesh about to be served to it, and the new [Spirit] may not necessarily be willing to form a contract.

Moreover, the strength of the new [Spirit] must be greater than that of the old [Spirit].

Just as the Erosion Level from the [Spirit] is irreversible.

After being ravaged by the old [Spirit], the body can only accept a stronger [Spirit]!

Because a weaker [Spirit] cannot suppress the Erosion Level of the old [Spirit] back to a lower position.

Just as a dog, when arriving at a new place, marks its territory by urinating.

A dominant new [Spirit] will erase all traces left by the old [Spirit] and imprint its own label.

This provides Believers with a buffer space, and then they can start a new cycle.

However, this means that the path of a Believer is inevitably a road of no return.

From the moment one becomes a Believer, they must keep getting stronger and stronger, as if being chased by death, and there is never an endpoint.

Being a Believer is so unique, and the price paid so significant, that what is gained in return is naturally an incomparably mighty power.

Humans generally cannot defeat demons of the same level.

And a demon of the same level cannot defeat a Spirit of the same level.

Demon Martial Artists and Believers both compromise slightly.

When ranked, it would roughly be Humans < Demon Martial Artists < demons < Believers < Spirits.

Of course, this is just a common situation.

Mostly the general state.

But just as people are divided into geniuses and mediocrities.

Thus, the actual situation is a bit more complicated.

Just like there are exceptions to the major categories.

And exceptions cannot be judged by common sense.

At this time, strength cannot be judged by conventional standards but should be assessed based on individual abilities.

Since reaching his personal limit in Martial Arts, Yuan Hongxin has been researching various aspects of humans, demons, and Spirits, so he understands more than the ordinary person.

To others, the mysterious Believers, in his presence, have already shed part of their mysterious veil.

But, as just mentioned, under the major categories, there are exceptions.

The Diao Ruru before him is a complete outlier.

”It’s strange, really strange.”

Diao Ruru, clearly a Believer, but she... has no [Spirit].

No!

To be precise, the Spirit inside her isn’t a living being, and even the components of [Spirit] are extremely rare.

”I can’t see it...can’t figure it out!”

”What technique was used to preserve some of the power of a dead [Spirit] after death, and then integrate it into this woman’s body.”

”Just this technique for preserving the power of a dead [Spirit], I can’t see what technology was used behind it.”

”The high-level techniques used, the profound research into [Spirit], even I cannot catch up; it shows the immense depth of the backer’s long years of work, resulting in today’s creation that can be described as miraculous.”

”However, what is most frightening is not just this simple preservation, but also the integration method.”

”With a technique completely different from the former, as if done by two different people’s masterful skill, integrating the dead [Spirit] perfectly into this woman’s body, the method is mild yet conservative, seamlessly fitting as if custom-made!”

”Integrating the power of the dead spirit deep into every inch of this woman’s skin, merging with everything in her body without any rejection.”

”This is simply another new field in a different direction.”

”The technology of the former and the latter, not of the same philosophy yet both mastered perfectly and applied together.”

”What a... masterpiece of nature!”

Yuan Hongxin trembled.

Even though he has spent years researching the integration of humans, demons, and Spirits, he has never seen such a perfect art piece before.

Yes, this woman before him can only be described as an artwork.

Using absolute power of the dead spirit to avoid the ultimate demise of all Believers.

Like finding a loophole in the established rules and forging a whole new path.

And it’s implemented boldly yet delicately, applying two completely different genius technologies to the same body, completing the final encapsulation.

What’s most terrifying is that, after achieving such a perfect fusion, the major force behind it is still attempting to extract the successfully integrated spirit power from this woman’s body!

Although it has only just begun a bit.

But just like an expert understands another expert, Yuan Hongxin caught at a glance the many backdoors recently left on this woman’s body, all prepared for that final extraction operation.

This is simply another huge challenge.

If successful, where would they use this power?

What effect, what function, would this power have?

Yuan Hongxin doesn’t know.

His knowledge is too shallow to see such a distant future.
