This is really not mechanical ascension

Chapter 404: Chapter 216 New Controlled Object 100-Fold Blessing (Asking for next month’s ticket at the beginning of the month!)

Carefully controlling his power, his feet leave the ground, and Li Ming swayed as he lifted into the air, already capable of breaking free from gravity.

Until he touched the ceiling. Although this wasn’t his first flight, it was his first time flying through his own strength.

After landing on the floor, his state of mind gradually settled. The full and swelling sensation brought about by the elevation of his life level also faded slowly.

"Last time, the interception of special energy seems to have caused some inexplicable change in the Red Lotus Thunder Dragon Gene Seed, increasing its destructive power." Li Ming extended his hand, his fingertips emanated red arcs, flames, and the faint quantum ripples,

Advanced isotopic element power will override the elemental power provided by low-level gene seeds.

Formerly, the thunder element was assimilated, ultimately displaying a red hue, as did the flame element.

With a slight motion in his heart, crimson elemental scales started to outline themselves on the surface of his skin.

This wasn’t a Genetic Release, but a minor application of a genetic ability.

"Usually only highly evolved gene seeds can perform such applications." Li Ming marveled in private, which was also a kind of indirect manifestation.

Then, he swiped through the Control Bar and found the Energy Level Detection Device he had casually controlled a long time ago, materialized it before his eyes.

Bang!

A punch landed, crack! The metal target plate at the center of the Energy Level Detection Device shattered, and his arm punched through it.

"...It actually didn’t withstand the punch." Li Ming’s face twitched. Although the Energy Level Detection Device was just a C-level item, its maximum bearing threshold was 500C.

"Time to upgrade it." Now with ample resources, Li Ming didn’t mind, he employed a type of Mother Ore called "Cobalt Steel" directly for enhancement and then spent 700,000 metal energy to upgrade it to B-level.

The silver-white Energy Level Detection Device looked brand new, the central metal target plate changed from black to a yellowish-brown and increased in size, a new detection chamber was added below, and liquid crystal auxiliary screens were installed on both sides.

"Can it detect elemental energy now?" Li Ming glanced at the manual, somewhat surprised.

Bang!

Another powerful punch made the floor tremble slightly; vast amounts of data flowed on the auxiliary screens on both sides, finally showing a figure—10B.

Li Ming was slightly taken aback, looking at his own fist, the energy level was actually 10B, and he had just become a B-level life form.

Thinking it over, he extended his fingertip again, a small red plasma ball gathered and then shot into the detection chamber beneath the metal target plate.

The auxiliary screens on both sides displayed a series of ellipses, followed by a pop-up of voluminous data.

Quite complex, categorized into dispersion, lethality, element focus, and so on...

Elemental power is not as simple as pure physical strength. One punch can only leave a dent, definitely not a large crater.

For instance, the persistent burning, explosive nature, peak temperature, and control level of the flame element are all important factors affecting the comprehensive assessment.

Fortunately, there’s also a comprehensive energy level, which is also 10B.

"Surprisingly identical." Li Ming was somewhat astonished because according to his knowledge, depending on the focus of gene seeds, the enhancements they bring should differ.

It’s rare for both types of energy levels to be exactly the same.

"My energy level has far surpassed that of a life form that has just merged with gene seeds at B-level." Li Ming estimated that counting a series of amplifications, his combat energy level could easily surpass 100B.

However, for a life form that has reached the B-level, the gene seeds they merge with are not poor either. Plus, with Liberation Form, Genetic Martial Arts, and other series of boosts,

A B-level life form with development progress over 90% can also effortlessly have a few hundred B, or even several hundred B burst energy level.

Of course, there are also some special Mechanical Transformations, but life forms below 90% development at B-level don’t even have the qualifications to be his opponents.

Of course, this is still only his first form. If he uses [Thunderstorm Fervor], which nearly adds up to a 100 times amplification, he could directly reach the A-level standard.

However, this form has a significant risk; all of the amplifications would turn into the Thunder Element, which could cause his body to not withstand it.

But [Mechanical Iron Cavalry] compensates very well for this shortcoming, by possessing an A-level Mecha, he doesn’t have to worry about the repercussions.

Complementing each other, Li Ming nodded to himself, and then opened the Control Bar. He had not yet managed to organize the Controlled Objects he created during this period and saw a prompt.

[Life level has risen, unlocking new abilities for the profession—Genetic Warrior]

New abilities unlocked? Li Ming quirked a brow and checked immediately.

[Source Material Extraction: You can extract Genetic Essence from life forms of at least A-level.]

? Li Ming was astonished; this ability was completely different from what he had anticipated.

What exactly is Source Material? A myriad of questions rose in his mind, and it could only be extracted from A-level life forms.

He felt an itch of curiosity, but as an ability unlocked by elevating one’s life level, it definitely wouldn’t be something trivial.

But now without an A-level life form to experiment on, he could only put it aside for the moment and continued to check the Control Bar, which had unlocked a new Control Bar, making a total of seven.

He pondered; because of the existence of [Thunderstorm Fervor], explosive systems could be discarded, over-adjustment only added a dozen or so times of amplification, not worth expending too much energy.

What was most important now was an integrated combat system.

[Feros Mecha] must occupy one, the main [Justice Arm Armor] for Power Amplification takes one spot, together augmenting by fourteenfold.
