"…If you're only testing Bert's attributes, it would be better for me to do it."
Looking at the two standing on the training ground, Finn sighed.
After all, he is a vanguard and is quite good at melee attacks. He is of the same type as Bert, and his strength is much better than Bert today.
Livilia's strength is certainly enough to deal with Bert, but the battle between magic guards is much louder than that of physical vanguards like them.
But if it was Ais...
"Before, Aisi's strength should be stronger, but now..."
Finn shook his head and was not very optimistic about Ai Si.
Not only him, but also the older generation of Loki's family adventurers, including Loki and Livilia, were originally optimistic about Ais's future.
She and Bert are both level 5 adventurers, but there are also differences between adventurers of the same level - the basic attributes of the two are not much different, but the magic awakened by Ais is too easy to use.
The power of the fairy bloodline inherited from her mother is called Wind Sprint, which can enhance her attack, defense and many other attributes by wrapping the wind around her.
Most of the top adventurers in the world of Dicuo have skills or magic that can enhance their own attributes, but these all have some side effects to a greater or lesser extent.
Finn's own magic will go into a frenzy, Ota's skills will greatly reduce his own physical and mental strength, the skills of the Amazon sisters can only be activated when they are on the verge of death, etc.
But Aisi's Wind Sprint does not have such negative effects. When others use this ability as a trump card, she can completely use Wind Sprint as a normal combat skill, even when leveling up.
Among the same level, Ais is probably one of the strongest adventurers.
——In the conventional sense.
But thinking back to Bert's current highest attribute of 2000+, Finn didn't think she could win at all.
Finn originally thought that only those who possessed skills and magic could be considered top adventurers, but now... he suddenly felt that these things were just fancy stuff.
Only when the basic attributes are strong can one be truly strong.
How much of their potential has been wasted by the various abilities evolved from God's grace!
Finn smacked his lips inwardly.
"Is the development of the potential of God's Grace really so poor?" Finn was not sure about the answer to this question, so Loki asked without hesitation.
The goddess held her chin with her hand and frowned slightly, saying, "I just calculated it. Even if we exclude the unreasonable part of God's grace... Bert's highest attribute can grow to about 1500-1600, which should be the limit."
After all, she is also a deity, and has a pretty good understanding of the technical level of the gods.
It would have been fine if she hadn't realized it beforehand, but it would have been difficult for her to recalculate after realizing the problem and get accurate data. It was not difficult to roughly estimate the potential loss rate.
Su Qing waved his hand and said, "I have some understanding of power, so I helped to sort out his combat power system."
The part where Bert's attributes exceed Loki's expectations is not a problem that can be solved by Dicuo's worldview.
What Su Qing mentioned before, the various drawbacks of God's grace, are drawbacks that the gods are fully capable of solving.
But while he was testing Bert's potential, he also slightly integrated the opponent's system.
In Su Qing's opinion, among the strong people of the same level, the talents of the Box Garden are stronger in every aspect than those of the Earth World - not because of anything else, but because of the spiritual system of the Box Garden.
Most of the six-digit figures in the box garden, regardless of whether they have the opportunity to become stronger, know how to become stronger.
With their own spiritual nature as the core, other blessings will all be sought around the growth path of this spiritual nature, or by looking for similar abilities.
Most of the powerful people in the box garden can drive the growth of their core spiritual energy when they use the grace they possess in daily life. The growth of spiritual energy in turn increases the strength of their grace ability, and finally forms a complementary system.
For the world of Dicuo, this is already a crushing defeat at the civilization level.
In the box garden, in addition to the abilities related to one's own core spirituality, all external grace abilities can be replaced with abilities related to spirituality, promoting each other's growth.
The higher you go, the more obvious this trend becomes, from the lower levels of the box garden, where one chooses mutually reinforcing favors based on one's own core spirituality, to the three-digit levels, where one evolves a systematic worldview based on one's own core spirituality.
This cannot be achieved in the world of Dicuo. It is impossible for all abilities gained during adventures to be useful, and it is inevitable that some abilities will be considered useless later on.
Not to mention God's grace, which can also sense the wishes of the person concerned and derive abilities based on those wishes.
No one can fully explain human desires.
For adventurers in the world of Dicuo, it is almost impossible for skills, magic, and development abilities to form a mutually reinforcing system.
If a strong person from a world with a higher level of power went to the box garden, his evaluation of the box garden would probably be the same. He might feel that some aspects of the box garden's spiritual system were too useless and completely unnecessary, and that he had a better way to combine the power system.
Su Qing felt that in the world of Dicuo, the method used by God's Grace to guide the potential of adventurers was too crude. The strong people from the higher-level world who went to the box garden might also feel that the spiritual system absorbing merits was itself very crude, and that merits would affect the purity of power and so on.
But there is absolutely no need to be harsh on this part, as this is the level of development the world has.
Based on the situation in the box garden, Su Qing sorted out Bert's combat system.
First of all, it is the unity of soul and flesh, the distinction between soul and matter. In the box garden, this also involves many contradictions among the gods. Some gods think that the soul is the foundation of human beings, and life is born only after the soul. Some gods think that the body is the foundation, and after life is born, the soul evolves from the body.
It's not a question of who is right or wrong, but which is better.
Both statements can find corresponding worldviews and have several workable systems.
But no matter which side is dominant, the soul and body of the strong must be fused together with high intensity.
In this regard, the world is far behind.
There is a system of soul reincarnation in the world of Dicuo. After the life on the ground dies, the soul will return to heaven. Except for those souls valued by the gods, the rest of the souls will continue to reincarnate.
There is a soul reincarnation system, but no soul cultivation system. God's grace only works on the adventurer's body, not on the soul - it may even have a counterproductive effect.
God's Grace locks the adventurer's physical growth limit.
The body and soul complement each other.
When an adventurer breaks through in battle and his soul has transformed, his body should have transformed as well, but the values are locked by God's Grace and will not be displayed until an update.
This process will inevitably cause disharmony between the adventurer's body and soul.
Although it was only for a short period of time, and the original body and the original soul were highly compatible, it was not without impact.
——And this is just the usual case.
Every time an adventurer achieves enough feats to upgrade, the God will renew his favor.
The most feared thing is that the adventurer's god returns to heaven.
The adventurer's accumulated deeds were enough to level up, rare skills were awakened in battle, and the adventurer's soul was transformed - but the God could not renew the favor for the person concerned.
The body is the container and the soul is the filling inside the container.
As the body grows, the soul grows too.
Occasionally, when a person's inner self becomes firm and his or her state of mind undergoes a transformation, the growth of the soul will also drive the growth of the body; the two things complement each other.
——But the attributes of the body are locked by God’s grace, and even if the soul transforms, it cannot drive the body to grow!
This is just awkward.
In Su Qing's eyes, the soul and body of an adventurer are more or less out of harmony, and are even worse than those of ordinary people.
Logically speaking, even if there is no way to train the soul, as long as you persist in exercising the body and push your body's limits again and again, the degree of fit between the soul and body will definitely become higher and higher.
But the grace of God in this world is locked here.
Every time the physical attributes grow even a little, the soul grows a little along with it. This is a process of improving the compatibility between soul and body, and it is also a process of exploring the micro-control of power and exploring the essence of power.
But the growth of the body of God’s grace, even if it is only a little growth, must be manifested through the renewal of grace.
No matter how the adventurers in this world train, they can only train their control over their current strength, but they cannot perceive every subtle change in their body that occurs with the training.
The growth of an adventurer has always been without even the slightest change during the long training. After the training, all the results of the training burst out in an instant.
——The results of the training burst out in an instant, so don’t expect the adventurers to gain any insights from it.
This is also one of the reasons why the development of adventurers in the world of Dicuo has stagnated.
It is difficult to judge the potential of an adventurer, but since the gods have been in the mortal world for a thousand years, all kinds of combat techniques should always develop and innovate.
Adventurers with insufficient potential cannot level up and have difficulty breaking through vertically, which is unavoidable.
However, it is not difficult to study the combat realm of some horizontal adventurers and judge to what extent they use their own strength among the same level.
——You know, there are gods in the world of Dicuo. When adventurers get stuck at a level, it’s always a good idea to learn the fighting techniques of the gods of war.
For example, the method of using force to cross the monster's shell and attack the inside, etc. But the battles of adventurers in the world of Dicuo do not care about these at all.
In the final analysis, God's Grace locked the adventurer's growth data, making the adventurer unable to perceive the subtle changes in his body during training, resulting in the adventurer's inability to improve his control over his strength.
Adventurers can rely on exercise to explore their physical limits. For example, three thousand push-ups are the physical limit of a certain adventurer.
You can know your body's limits, but you can only know your body's limits. You have no way of knowing what changes have taken place in your body as a result of exercise.
The same adventurer then did 3,000 push-ups every day, and each time his muscles ached to the point where he could not move - even so, as long as he did not update his attributes, the adventurer's strength would not increase even a little bit.
With this kind of restriction, the adventurer's power system cannot be pushed forward.
The degree of compatibility between adventurers' bodies and souls is generally not high. The longer an adventurer has not updated his grace attributes, the more adventurers whose attributes have not been updated will accumulate, and the lower the degree of soul compatibility will tend to be.
Soul compatibility is not a problem in the wrong world, there is no attack against the soul in this world, but in the box garden...
In the small garden, this is not even considered a weakness. Almost no one has developed the ability to deal with this aspect. Almost no one in the small garden will leave such a low-level loophole for their spiritual power.
It is even difficult to leave loopholes for yourself. Spirituality is naturally deeply bound to the soul. If you want to make the body and soul mismatched, you need to deliberately choose a special monster.
In the world of Dicuo, the composition of God's grace includes a large number of parts that affect the potential of adventurers, some of which are caused by the negligence or intentional actions of the gods.
But from Su Qing's perspective, there are also a lot of low-level loopholes beyond the abilities of the gods in this world.
All of this made up for the lost potential, and the adventurer's attributes skyrocketed in a short period of time.
The battle between Bert and Ace was gradually coming to an end, and Loki looked a little stern.
They are all companions in the clan. We are just experimenting with their growth attributes. There is no need to rank them.
But Aisi even used magic, and Bert was able to hold on relying only on his own attributes, which already determines the outcome.
Bert took a deep breath and looked down at his hands.
Even after this battle, his walking on the ground without noticing has improved a little, but it does not mean that he has completely mastered his current power.
The attributes have been increased by about one-fold, but the strength is definitely not just doubled.
At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling.
After a sudden improvement, this kind of power that even you cannot control is what is called growth.
Becoming stronger under the system of God's Grace is just like a house dog tied in a cage, becoming stronger by pleasing its master.
...The change that transcends this limitation is the power he pursues.
