C96 I Will Rely On My Own Hard Work!

Amidst the astonished stares of the crowd, Chen Guo casually waved his hand, dumping a surplus of extraordinary items from his spatial magic artifact onto the ground.

In an instant, a veritable mountain of extraordinary items amassed.

High-grade equipment of various kinds.

An assortment of pills.

A collection of whimsical props.

A range of cultivation techniques.

Each item was the kind that would make ordinary players green with envy.

The Legendaries in attendance, though wealthy in their own right, couldn't help but show a change in expression at the sight of this extraordinary hoard.

They were mere tycoons, but Chen Guo? His nonchalant display of wealth was on a whole other level—a godly tycoon, flaunting a fortune beyond their wildest dreams.

"Good heavens, Boss Guangcheng is wealthier than I ever imagined. Where on earth did he get all these extraordinary items? I have a whole gang supporting me, and I don't have nearly this much. Boss Guangcheng, always a loner, and yet so incredibly rich!"

"My eyes are dazzled—so many extraordinary items, enough to arm several gangs!"

"I used to think I was a wealthy woman, but seeing the riches Boss Guangcheng just tossed aside, I realize just how laughable that was..."

The Legendaries murmured among themselves.

Lei Kun spoke up, "Boss Guangcheng, you're not planning to use these to bribe our adversaries, are you? As staggering as this fortune is, these demons won't be swayed by money!"

Chen Guo replied, "I simply wanted to demonstrate that with money, you can become stronger! Want to be more powerful? Then it's time to spend!"

With that, Chen Guo activated his Ability of Absorption, and a blue laser beam shot from his palm, striking the heap of extraordinary items and beginning to dissolve them.

The items touched by the blue laser lost all their spiritual essence in moments, reduced to nothing but white ash.

Within a minute, what was once a mountain of extraordinary items lay as a pile of worthless white ash.

Chen Guo's interface now displayed 50,000 attribute points, free to be allocated.

While most onlookers were simply amazed, Lin Dong was visibly shaken, his eyes bulging in disbelief.

Wasn't this his unique Ability of Absorption?

How did Chen Guo come to possess it?

Could it be that Chen Guo's talent was also Absorption?

Something didn't add up!

"I've reached this level of strength through my own efforts, not relying on family or anyone else. It's only through sweat and toil that one grows, only through relentless effort that one becomes powerful!" Chen Guo declared, his fists clenched and his expression stern, "Absorption!"

In a fleeting moment, Chen Guo began allocating his attribute points, bolstering his own capabilities.

The process of assigning points was straightforward. Aside from the seemingly inconsequential Charm, the rest of the points were distributed evenly.

10,000 points to Strength!

10,000 points to Endurance!

10,000 points to Spirit!

10,000 points to Agility!

In the blink of an eye, Chen Guo had assigned 40,000 attribute points, with 10,000 remaining. After a brief hesitation, he allocated them to Endurance.

Boosting Endurance meant increasing one's vitality and defense capabilities. Given the Demon War God Arieti's outrageously powerful attacks, a robust pool of health and defense was essential for engaging him in direct combat.

Once the 50,000 attribute points were allocated, Chen Guo seemed to transcend his former self, visibly growing stronger and more enigmatic at an observable rate.

At this juncture, Chen Guo's status read as follows:

Combat Strength: 1,090,000

Evaluation: The dawn of the extraordinary! A combat strength of one million is the threshold for transcending mortal limitations. With a million in combat strength, you're deemed a competent rank-and-file in the myriad realms!

Everyone sensed Chen Guo's newfound power, and their eyes widened in astonishment as they turned to the rankings.

"A million in combat strength—how did you pull that off? Are you some sort of divine being in disguise, playing the part of a pig to catch a tiger?"

"Damn, damn, damn! A million combat strength! Aren't you being a bit too overbearing and merciless?"

"An instant boost of three hundred thousand in combat strength—could it be tied to those extraordinary items?"

The crowd was in a frenzy, having witnessed Chen Guo's combat strength skyrocket by three hundred thousand in a blink, breaking past the million mark and creating a vast chasm between them.

Lin Dong spoke gravely, "He's utilizing the Heaven Level talent, Deep Blue, which allows for the conversion of all extraordinary items into attribute points for free allocation. He tossed out a multitude of such items, which provided him with an enormous sum of attribute points. The sudden surge in combat strength by three hundred thousand was to be expected."

"I see!"

"Boss Guangcheng's talent is Deep Blue?"

"Looks like you really can buy your way to power!"

The crowd was astounded.

However, Lin Dong's face was grim as he said, "My talent is the Heaven Level Deep Blue. Boss Guangcheng, I need an explanation. Why do you have my talent? Wasn't your talent supposed to be about absorbing power from monsters you've slain?"

Chen Guo replied, "The rumors out there are often overblown. In truth, my talent is quite straightforward. My Heaven Level talent is known as Cycle Sharing."

Despite fabricating the story, Chen Guo maintained a serious demeanor. He needed to demonstrate more of his talent in the upcoming battle, so it was essential to provide an explanation to the onlookers.

He had already concocted a plausible story in his mind; now was just the time to unveil it.

"Cycle Sharing?" Lin Dong inquired.

"Yes, Cycle Sharing," Chen Guo explained. "It allows me to select around ten targets at will and unilaterally share talents with them. These targets can be foes or allies. Once I've chosen a target, I can temporarily harness their talent for up to twenty-four hours, or at the very least, one hour. The exact duration is calculated based on the disparity in strength between myself and the target."

"If the target is more powerful than me, I can only access their talent for an hour. But if they're less powerful, I can share their talent for a full twenty-four hours."
