GROIKTP Chapter 611

Upgrading his attributes had cost Chen Ye more than 500,000 Samsara points. Now, his attribute panel still showed over 750,000 points remaining.

This was a massive amount.

Since Chen Ye could no longer upgrade his attributes, the remaining points would have to be used to improve his abilities.

Among all his abilities, the one truly worth investing in was his “Conqueror’s Haki.”

Ever since Chen Ye obtained Conqueror’s Haki, he had primarily used it to clear out small fry.

But when facing truly powerful enemies, Conqueror’s Haki didn’t seem to be very useful.

Chen Ye had always felt that something was off about this.

It wasn’t that Conqueror’s Haki was weak; it was that his Conqueror’s Haki was still at too low a level.

Since the system had set Conqueror’s Haki as more valuable than Armament Haki, and since leveling it up required far more points, there had to be a reason for this.

Currently, Chen Ye’s Conqueror’s Haki was at the “Expert” level.

To upgrade it to the “Master” level, he needed 300,000 Samsara points.

Seeing that price, Chen Ye couldn’t help but feel a bit of pain.

Previously, upgrading Conqueror’s Haki from “Proficient” to “Expert” had only cost him 30,000 points.

He hadn’t expected that upgrading it again would require ten times that amount!

It felt like daylight robbery!

But Chen Ye figured that since the system was charging such a high price, Conqueror’s Haki must be worth it.

After some thought, Chen Ye gritted his teeth and spent 300,000 Samsara points to upgrade Conqueror’s Haki to the Master level.

“Congratulations! Your Conqueror’s Haki has been upgraded (Master)!”

“**Conqueror’s Haki:** The most powerful of the three types of Haki, possessed only by those with the qualities of a king. Users can intimidate and paralyze opponents without lifting a finger, and weaker foes may even faint.”

“**Master-level Conqueror’s Haki:** Infuses your Haki into your physical attacks, greatly enhancing their power. Additionally, it delivers a powerful mental shock to your enemies, making it nearly impossible to withstand!”

When he heard the system notification, Chen Ye’s eyes lit up.

No wonder upgrading Conqueror’s Haki was so expensive!

It turned out that reaching the Master level gave it such an effect.

Attacking both the physical and mental states simultaneously?

That was like dealing both physical and magical damage at once!

Mental attacks should never be underestimated.

For most people, their mental resilience was far weaker than their physical bodies.

With this new ability, unless Chen Ye’s opponent was a master of both physical and mental fortitude, they wouldn’t be able to withstand a single punch.

Those 300,000 Samsara points were well spent!

This upgrade had raised Chen Ye’s overall strength to an even higher level.

Chen Ye smiled with satisfaction.

He still had more than 450,000 Samsara points left.

Chen Ye briefly considered upgrading Conqueror’s Haki further, to its highest level, “Supreme.”

But when he saw how many points that would cost, he immediately gave up the idea.

To upgrade Conqueror’s Haki to the Supreme level would require a staggering one million Samsara points!

That number was astronomical for any Samsara participant—almost impossible to attain.

Even if Chen Ye had a million points, spending them all on Conqueror’s Haki would be painful.

But at least the increase in points was more reasonable this time.

Previously, the cost of upgrading Conqueror’s Haki had increased tenfold with each level. By that pattern, it should have cost 3 million points to reach the highest level.

‘It seems that the maximum cost for upgrading abilities is capped at one million points,’ Chen Ye thought.

‘If Master-level Conqueror’s Haki is already this powerful, I wonder what Transcendent-level Conqueror’s Haki would be like?’

‘If I have plenty of points in the future, I might give it a try…’

…

With 450,000 Samsara points left, Chen Ye decided to hold onto them.

Glancing at the time, he saw it was 12:37 a.m.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Chen Ye instructed the system to transport him to the Samsara Tower.

He used one of his cooldown refresh cards from storage and stepped through the tower’s gates, arriving directly on the 20th floor.

The familiar little sprite appeared in front of him.

“Honorable Samsara participant ‘Shura,’ how may I assist you?” it asked.

“I’m here to undertake a dungeon mission,” Chen Ye replied.

“This dungeon world is a test dungeon, titled ‘Trial of the Newcomers.’ Would you like the system to select the newcomers for you, or would you like to choose them yourself?”

“Please note: the system can only select 10 people for you.”

“I’ll select them myself,” Chen Ye said.

“Here is a list of newcomers who have voluntarily signed up. Please make your selections. Alternatively, you may enter the ID numbers of specific individuals, though they must give their consent…”

As the sprite spoke, it displayed a massive holographic screen.

On the screen, there were countless faces.

And it wasn’t just one page.

There were 1,366 pages!

Chen Ye quickly estimated that each page had over a hundred people.

That meant more than 100,000 newcomers had signed up to join his team!

Such was the power of Shura’s reputation!

Even Chen Ye hadn’t expected so many people to want to ride along with him…

“Samsara participant ‘Shura,’ you have ten minutes remaining to make your selections. Please be mindful of the time,” the sprite reminded him as he paused in thought.

Snapping out of it, Chen Ye began entering ID numbers.

He first entered the ID of his friend “Ake,” who was actually his former classmate and school beauty, Wen Xingyi. Then, he pulled out the slip of paper Tang Yuting had given him and began inputting the IDs listed on it.

The sprite had mentioned earlier that the selected individuals had to give their consent before joining.

After all, if people could just randomly enter someone’s ID into the system to join dungeons, it would be a disaster for the unwilling participants.

The Samsara system wasn’t going to allow that to happen, which was why consent was required.

Of course.

Chen Ye wasn’t worried about anyone refusing.

Who would be foolish enough to reject the chance to join Shura’s team?

…

Meanwhile.

Cao Jingjing was anxiously waiting.

The reason she had suddenly decided to enter the Samsara Space was the profound impact tonight’s birthday party had on her.

Even her grandfather, such a prestigious figure, had shown deference and flattery toward her best friend’s boyfriend…

This made Cao Jingjing realize that the world had truly changed!

Going forward, power would reign supreme!

At that moment, a notification from the Samsara system popped up:

“Samsara participant ‘Shura’ invites you to join the ‘Trial of the Newcomers’ dungeon. Do you accept?”
