Chapter 147 – Beginner-Tier Giant! Nightmare Ghost Realm!

In the cultivation chamber, Ye Sheng’s breathing was like a dragon’s, driving the energy within his body to roar and resonate.

A brilliant golden aura radiance enveloped him, like a golden sun!

“Giant Level! Haha!” Ye Sheng let out a long laugh, his oppressive aura heavy. If not for the fact that this basement was built with the sturdiest alloy-reinforced concrete, it might have collapsed under his presence.

Even so, the ground trembled violently, and the entire residential complex felt the vibrations.

Boom!

Ye Sheng quickly restrained his aura, but his Breathing Technique did not stop, and the golden aura radiance outside his body remained.

He had known all along—with an Annihilation-grade Skill enhancing the resonance intensity of his energy, how could he not step into the Giant Level?

Next, Ye Sheng carefully examined the intensity of the golden aura radiance outside his body.

Like the Super-Limit Tier, the Giant Level was also divided into Beginner-Tier Giant, Intermediate-Tier Giant, and High-Tier Giant.

At this moment, Ye Sheng observed that the golden aura radiance outside his body was only a “pale gold.”

This meant that although his current Combat Power had reached the Giant Level, he was only a “Beginner-Tier Giant”!

Ye Sheng wasn’t surprised by this.

The reason was that his Annihilation-grade Skills were still stuck at LV3!

They hadn’t been comprehensively upgraded.

It was important to note that after promoting to the 4th Revolution Ghost Sect Realm, Skills could also be upgraded to LV4, becoming even stronger.

For example, the Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword was currently at LV3, with an Attack Power Increase of +60,000%. If he upgraded it to LV4, this value would likely skyrocket again.

“By then, I won’t just be a ‘Beginner-Tier Giant’ anymore—I’ll definitely be stronger!

I just don’t know if upgrading the Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword to LV4 will make me an ‘Intermediate-Tier Giant’ or a ‘High-Tier Giant’?”

Ye Sheng pondered, knowing that only by actually upgrading the Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword would he find out.

“The ‘Peak Tier,’ which is stronger than the Giant Level, is probably impossible! The gap is too large!” Ye Sheng shook his head, thinking of the mysterious “Peak Tier.”

He hadn’t expected that after reaching the 4th Revolution, there would still be a level stronger than the Giant Level!

“Peak Tier? Do such Monstrous Talents really exist?”

Ye Sheng stroked his chin, curious about this level. Moreover, he wondered how such Monstrous Talents, if they existed, managed to advance to that level.

Even if he upgraded the Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword to LV4, he might not reach the “Peak Tier”!

The gap was simply too vast!

He was only a “Beginner-Tier Giant” now, with “Intermediate-Tier Giant” and “High-Tier Giant” still ahead!

Even after reaching High-Tier Giant, he would still need to touch that critical threshold, just like in the Super-Limit Tier. The difficulty of achieving all this was unimaginable!

“The Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword can’t do it, but ‘Heavenly Manifestation’ could probably push me to the Peak Tier!” Ye Sheng mused.

He thought of Heavenly Manifestation, a Skill with immense potential.

Even at LV1, its Attack Power Increase reached an astonishing +30,000%!

If he upgraded it to LV4, reaching the Peak Tier should be effortless!

…

Huff!

Ye Sheng stopped his Breathing Technique, ending the energy resonance. The golden aura radiance outside his body gradually dissipated.

“This Breathing Technique is quite profound. Using it in battle can make energy flow more smoothly and increase Combat Power to some extent.” Ye Sheng frowned, sensing that this Breathing Technique wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

Then, he shook his head and cleared his thoughts.

Now that he knew how to increase his combat power, it was time to get to work.

Although Beginner-Tier Giants were powerful, in the Federation Grand Examination, monstrous talents of this level were likely extremely numerous!

Intermediate-Tier Giants and even High-Tier Giants probably existed as well.

It was even possible to witness unimaginable ‘Peak Tier’ monstrous talents emerge!

Ye Sheng’s expression turned serious—all of these were possible.

For this Federation Grand Examination, Ye Sheng was participating in the examination for their ‘Nanming Province’.

Though it was just one province, ‘Nanming Province’ was a massive province with a population reaching hundreds of billions.

With such a vast population base, there were naturally countless factions and countless monstrous talents and aberrations. It was entirely possible for unimaginably terrifying monstrous talents to emerge from among them!

At that time, Ye Sheng would no longer be facing just a small Ghost Mountain City or the Shadow City Secret Realm, but the top aberrations from the entire ‘Nanming Province’.

In a competition at this level, if his combat power was weak, he would be utterly crushed!

“I need to raise my skill levels as quickly as possible. A Beginner-Tier Giant is still too weak. It would be best to reach ‘High-Tier Giant’, or even ‘Peak Tier’!”

Ye Sheng’s eyes gleamed with determination as he set his goal.

Additionally, he didn’t plan to keep a low profile in this Federation Grand Examination. Instead, he intended to step on the heads of countless prodigies to reach the summit.

Only by doing so could he attract the attention of Fengdu University after entering, thereby enjoying the best resources and mentors!

Having reasoned this out, Ye Sheng furrowed his brows.

Raising skill levels required proficiency!

And proficiency was gained by exterminating Ghost Creatures. However, with only a few days left before the grand examination, it was clearly too late to go out and exterminate Ghost Creatures now.

“I can only rely on it. I wonder if it will work.” Ye Sheng thought of another Annihilation-grade Skill, ‘Nightmare Ghost Realm’.

The Nightmare Ghost Realm was obtained together with the Heavenly Manifestation.

It was advanced from the Ghost Spirit Array.

Back in the Shadow City Secret Realm, Ye Sheng hadn’t had time to study it carefully before returning to Ghost Mountain City.

But even with a cursory glance at the time, he felt this skill was extraordinary.

Especially one of its functions—it might be usable to grind skill proficiency.

Whoosh!

Ye Sheng pulled up the stat panel for the Nightmare Ghost Realm skill.

[Annihilation-grade Skill: Nightmare Ghost Realm (LV1), one of the top Daoist School spatial supernatural powers. Constructs a ghost realm space with a single thought.

Within the ghost realm, the realm lord’s attack power increases by +40000%!

Enemies are weakened by -10000%!

Ghost Realm Supernatural Power 1—Ghost Chains: Locks and captures enemies into the Nightmare Ghost Realm, imprisonment duration 30 seconds, capture success rate 10%!

Ghost Realm Supernatural Power 2—One-Thought Projection: The realm lord can project anything they have seen within the Nightmare Ghost Realm.]

Ye Sheng glanced over it. The functions of the Nightmare Ghost Realm were quite bizarre.

First, it could actually construct a ghost realm space with a single thought.

Within the ghost realm, the realm lord’s attack power increased by +40000%, and enemies were weakened by -10000%!

Ye Sheng was somewhat astonished.

Attack power increased by +40000%!

This was even stronger than the +30000% increase from ‘Heavenly Manifestation’!

Combined with the enemy weakening of -10000%, the net effect was equivalent to a +50000% increase!

If someone were captured into this ghost realm, they could undoubtedly be tormented at will.

Moreover, the enemy, being trapped within the ghost realm, would be unable to escape.

Equivalent to a hard crowd control for 30 seconds. Within these 30 seconds, he would hold an absolute advantage!

The only drawback was that the success rate of Ghost Chain Capture was not high, only 10%.

It required a certain amount of luck to pull someone into the Nightmare Ghost Realm.

“One Thought Projection!”

Ye Sheng looked at this ghost realm divine ability.

Whether Skill Proficiency could be rapidly increased depended entirely on this ‘One Thought Projection’!

Ye Sheng’s idea was simple: since the Nightmare Ghost Realm could project anything he had seen, he would project a vast number of Ghost Creatures within it.

After killing them with skills, would it have the same effect of increasing Proficiency?

“Only by trying will I know.” Without further ado, Ye Sheng constructed the Nightmare Ghost Realm in an instant.
