Chapter 858: Chapter 407: Reset Points? Starlight Prison (Thanks to the book friend ’Update without Killing’ for the two Alliance Leader rewards!)_2

Lin Xun’s eyes widened in disbelief. How could the transplant of a powerful organ actually lower the Shell quality?

He quickly opened the Shell panel to check. Originally, as a "Star Favored" with a high compatibility bonus, the Shell’s essence had reached the Legend+ level.

But now it had fallen back to an ordinary Legendary Grade.

Both special skills he had comprehended, according to the skill text description, were realized because of the "eyeball-heart" transplant.

It was the same as gaining the special skill "Insight into Weakness" from the eyeball of the ’Ancient Wise Pale Dragon’.

Only, one special skill came from a Stars monster, and the other originated from an Abyss Demon.

If he continued to strengthen the body with "Flesh Authority" beyond his current control ability, he would have to sacrifice other attributes to further enhance various physical attributes.

Originally Lin Xun did not possess such ability; it must have been recently acquired as the control over the Authority by the soul gradually strengthened.

This ability was akin to "respeccing" in a clever way, allowing one to change the Shell’s attribute values to some extent, but currently it seems to only enhance various physical attributes and cannot focus on enhancing a single attribute alone.

"Maybe this Shell was originally a Mage, but now it has been respecced by me into a warrior-mage, causing it to be neither a good Mage nor a good warrior, hence the decrease in Shell quality?"

"Does being a jack of all trades mean master of none?"

Lin Xun felt that this was likely the case. The upper limit of the Shell’s combat ability and quality should not follow the principle of the lowest common denominator, but rather, the highest attribute determines the combat capability of the Shell.

For example, a Mage who allocated all points into intelligence might have 100 points of intelligence and zero strength. After respec, both strength and intelligence would become 50 points each.

Even if the Mage possessed both close-combat skills and magic skills, the damage dealt using either would definitely not be as high as that of the original 100 points of intelligence.

"There’s also the possibility that the so-called ’respec’ has a loss; after splitting 100 points of intelligence, there might only be 40 points of intelligence and 40 points of strength left, which could lead to the degradation of the Shell tier."

"Given the current situation, the respec ability does not seem suitable for a Mage; instead, it would be more appropriate for a warrior’s Shell, potentially allowing the Shell’s attributes to develop more extremely and maybe even enhancing combat power again..."

Lin Xun pondered over the new ability of the Flesh Authority.

The Authority power inherited from the Main Gods was like a treasure trove, each increase in the degree of control bringing new abilities...

[The ’Starlight Priest’ seeing you have not awakened, injects you with another needle.]

[You pretend to just be waking up and slowly open your eyes...]

[The ’Starlight Priest’ does not offer any assistance to help you stand, instead continuously asking about your current physical condition and taking out a series of Refined Copper equipment to test your physical data.]

[...]

[After a while, the ’Starlight Priest’, looking at the data recorded, exclaims with a face full of joy, it is impossible, how could this "eyeball-heart" bring such a great physical enhancement...]

[Hehe, maybe this time the synthesis happened to pick the right answer; it knows this "eyeball-heart" is perfect, it’s a genius!]

Lin Xun frowned involuntarily.

What in the world was this Polar Star Association of priests up to, trying to use transplantation technology to enhance a Mage’s physical strength?

It sounded completely unreliable.

Why would a Mage need physical strength, to become a magic swordsman? Don’t make me laugh.

[The ’Starlight Priest’ looks at you with a smile and continues, the paper data collection is complete. To verify the accuracy of the data, the next step is real combat testing.]

[During the surgery earlier, you clearly heard the ’Starlight Priest’ mention that it will remove your heart after the test.] 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

[At this point, you are on guard. If it dares to make a move, you have the resolve to turn hostile and wipe out everyone in the Transplant Room!]

[Following the gaze of the ’Starlight Priest’, you see on the far wall of the Transplant Room a painting as tall as a man.]

[The painting’s background depicts a vast galaxy, with cages made of starlight interconnected. At a glance, there are at least a hundred cages.]

[Most of the cages are empty, with only a few imprisoning various forms of terrifying shadows.]

[Surprisingly, the content of the painting resembles something you’ve seen before, the ’Cage of Impounding Stars’, but this one is on a much smaller scale.]

[The ’Starlight Priest’ explains to you that the cages in the painting imprison several demons, some powerful, others weak.]

[These demons are live materials that must be freshly killed for use. Now is the perfect opportunity to select a weaker one as your combat target...]

[As it speaks, it hands you a ’Teleportation Badge’ and leads you towards the painting while saying...]

[Later, it will enter the ’Starlight Prison’ with you to record your real combat data. Remember, don’t use any magic, fight the demon with nothing but your physical strength!]

[It won’t let you face a too powerful demon and will heal your wounds on the side, so don’t worry. Go ahead and fight the demon without holding back; there won’t be any accidents...]

[The ’Starlight Priest’ touches the painting first. As ripples spread across it like water, its body enters the painting...]
