Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

He had not chosen the path of mechanical augmentation, nor had he chosen to implant foreign entities.

His initial power was naturally lower than those who had taken shortcuts.

That\'s why he had to use his family influence to secure a clerical job.

Even within the base, some inner city pioneers were needed to maintain order, after all, not everything could be left to the two adults in charge.

Originally, he thought this was a windfall—an outsider too timid to cause trouble, grateful for just a hundred thousand!

How could they resist, how dare they resist!

Most importantly, how could the other party unleash such a powerful force?!

Since birth, he had been soaking in medicinal baths, standing post at six, setting bones at eight, and after decades of foundational training, along with the acceleration through Yuan Force these past few months, he attained his current power.

Yet, with a single strike, the other party shattered all his pride!

An adventure! The other party must have had an adventure!

A mix of jealousy, resentment, and greed spread from the depths of his heart, and looking over at that fellow who was continuously talking to his wristwatch, Frank, enduring the searing pain, gasped for breath and said,

"You are strong, but after all, you are just a novice from the outer city. An adventure might give you some improvement, but compared to my family…"

"Your family was involved, too?"

A cool voice came from the doorway as Sun Shiyu\'s slender figure entered, leaving Frank looking as if he had been choked by a duck, his face full of shock.

How is that possible!

How could Miss Sun come here directly?!

He knew that the Suns actually disliked these trifles, that\'s why he had the guts to intercept.

Even if he got discovered while taking advantage, he wouldn\'t be severely punished.

People of the Floating City relied on inner city folks for help, there were always some under-the-table benefits to share.

But why had Miss Sun come now?

Thinking of what Tao Yu was saying into his watch, Frank had an incredulous look on his face.

This kid could contact Miss Sun directly? Reach her immediately?!

So this was his adventure!

What the hell, what about our partnership? Isn\'t this just screwing me over, Temor?!

And those bastards in the base! Tight-lipped like what, sealed with cement?

I\'ve even treated you to meals! Why didn\'t anyone tell me?

Damn it all!

At meals, you all call each other "brother," who the hell is your brother?

Overwhelmed with regret, Frank quickly endured the agony and said,

"It\'s a misunderstanding, Miss Sun, let me explain, it\'s all a misunderstanding..."

Before he could finish, he was already floating in the air. Sun Shiyu slightly spread her palm,

"I hate those who play both sides."

Then she clenched her palm, and in an instant, Frank in mid-air was twisted into a pretzel. Except for his head still intact, his body looked like a wrung-out towel, his corpse\'s face frozen in terror.

Even Tao Yu who was beside couldn\'t help but swallow his saliva; that was too brutal, but so satisfying...

"Remember to be more decisive in the future. Who knows if there will be any tricks left, it would be a mess if you flip the car," Sun Shiyu said with a casual glance back at Tao Yu.

She then paused and continued,

"His family still holds some sway, I can\'t just do away with them recklessly. I\'ll take care of the rest. You leave discreetly from somewhere else, don\'t bother with this anymore."

Executions? Damn, Miss Sun, you\'re too extreme! What are you even thinking about!

Tao Yu wanted to say something more but caught sight of Sun Shiyu holding three Yuan Force cards fanned out like playing cards.

"Here is three hundred thousand, consider it your reward for these missions. We won\'t log the missions, and you can come directly to me if you have more in the future."

"Okay..."

Seeing Sun Shiyu fan the cards, Tao Yu\'s heart pounded furiously. This is bad...

...

"After selling Da Hei, I scraped together this money; you better not disappoint me..."

Using Stealth, Tao Yu slipped out of the mission hall, looking at his significant Yuan Force savings, also heaving a deep sigh.

Although he could already improve those fundamental skills – Meditation Technique, Myriad Streams Breathing Method, and Five Forms as One – with this budget, Tao Yu unhesitatingly set his sights on Fist Intent!

The effects of innate talents and skills are distinctly different. Even though they can\'t bring immediate combat efficacy, the results are clearly more outstanding.

Deification!

With a massive injection of Yuan Force, Tao Yu\'s eyes once again filled with a sense of dislocation.

It wasn\'t just Fist Intent; Tao Yu also felt that Meditation Technique, Demonization, and Shadow Manipulation – these three skills seemed to have some subtle synergistic changes.

```

[Fist Intention??] (MAX): Will can now initially interfere with the physical world, integrating into attacks with a will that persists in eroding the target\'s spirit, significantly enhancing the effectiveness of both physical and mental skill training...

```

Tao Yu felt the new changes in this ability and a strange expression surfaced at the bottom of his heart.

Interference with the physical world?

"It\'s not an interference like telekinesis..."

Tao Yu recalled the scene where Sun Shiyu sent Sun Shiqing flying, and thought back to how he had twisted Frank into a pretzel.

His own Fist Intention didn\'t seem to work that way...

He flicked a button, which only fluttered in front of his eyes for a moment before falling.

This was achieved purely through the refinement of thoughts by [Meditation Technique], barely lifting anything—the will from [Fist Intention] simply passed right through it.

But...

Crack~

The button that fell to the ground, despite not having hit with much force, directly shattered into pieces!

He approached the windowsill of the dormitory, where there was a cactus Jack had been cultivating, green and lush. Tao Yu slowly exhaled and then extended his finger to gently press towards the cactus.

The spot he touched on the green cactus instantly showed signs of withering!

"Let\'s try again..."

Looking around, Tao Yu saw Jack\'s single bed, a metal one, and then squatted down to grasp the leg of the bed.

Without using brute strength, he purely incited Fist Intention through Basic Combat and suddenly burst forth!

It seemed as if a gust of wind had appeared in the air, as if the roar of a tiger had sounded. As Tao Yu removed his hand, he noticed spots of rust where he had held it.

Although not very noticeable, it was glaring in comparison to the other areas!

This, then, is the interference of will with the physical world!

"Is it not physical movement, but directly \'killing\' and \'grinding\'?"

This reminded Tao Yu of the special infected body he had once worn down with his Fist Intention—it had taken him fifteen minutes back then, but now, with the overwhelming will, his captured targets could be completely ground to dust in just a minute!

This had a very targeted effect against enemies with extremely resilient physical bodies.

Some \'undying\' traits would turn into dead men before him!

"Moreover, since my talent has changed, some abilities related to the spirit have also mutated..."

Tao Yu felt that [Meditation Technique] had begun to align with his Fist Intention, and his mental power had also become more \'brutal\' and \'aggressive\'. This would make the mental attacks attached to bullets even stronger!

Besides, [Shadow Manipulation] was somewhat similar—the power of shadows could now also combine with will to attack.

As for [Demonization]...

Looking at the dragon claw emitting black, distorted smoke, Tao Yu could feel that every move he made after Demonization seemed to be mixed with the impact of post-Demonization will.

"[Demonization] is originally based on one\'s inner self, so it seems normal that it would change; considering the current practical effect, this is actually more useful than [Innate Time Control]."

Tao Yu was quite satisfied in his heart.

[Innate Time Control] was powerful, involving time, and under extreme conditions could greatly increase his own strength, especially if Yuan Force was continuously restored.

Anyone who couldn\'t block his attack would die.

But in reality, he rarely needed [Innate Time Control]—the level of Bullet Time was usually enough.

On the other hand, the second Deification of Fist Intention was more down-to-earth.

Less exaggerated than [Innate Time Control] at the limit, but almost usable in any fight.

"One is a constant, the other is a limit; a perfect pairing."

Feeling the remaining Yuan Force within him, Tao Yu turned his gaze back to Stealth.

He had two versions of Stealth, one costing sixty thousand and the other ninety thousand. Functionally, the ninety thousand one was stronger, but that was only in quantity. Considering the daily expenditure and for emergencies, Tao Yu chose the Python version first.

A cold sensation suddenly spread over his entire body, and his own shadow instantly enveloped him, and then he disappeared within the room the next instant.

When he reappeared, he was already several meters away in the shadows!

"It certainly did not disappoint me..."

[Stealth·Mark II]: Can enter into shadows for accelerated movement, short distance shuttling where shadows connect and can additionally absorb the scattered Shadow Force.

Apart from the strengthened original ability, two very practical new skills have been added, the short distance shuttle where the shadows connect which can be seen as a neutered version of small range teleportation.

Plus, the extra absorption of scattered Shadow Force also complements the origin of the Shadow Force\'s weak point.

Being able to accelerate the filling of Shadow Force stored in the shadows, while not increasing burst potential, can be seen as adding to the endurance which had always been his weakness.

"Barely considered to have laid a good foundation now..."

Thinking back to how he had disabled an Inner City Pioneer of the same period with just a punch of pure physical strength, Tao Yu finally took a slow breath of relief.

Continuing to wander around nearby would likely bring limited benefits, so he needed to find a way to check out other places.

"Still need a new world, preferably one I\'m more familiar with, but the price of the \'Chosen One\' is probably getting less and less..."

Tao Yu felt the remaining Yuan Force he had, which was still substantial, but he also needed to sustain the daily consumption.

As his strength grew stronger and stronger, so too did the acceleration of the consumption of Yuan Force.

"It\'s been over two months, time to go back once, being too conspicuous isn\'t good, just right to sort out Big Brother\'s leg..."
