#150 - Chapter 150: Improved Comprehension

“I wonder if this increase in my original energy limit will have any effect on comprehending skills.

I think comprehending skills improve the hidden attribute of comprehension, so it shouldn't be like the clone skill, which requires 1 point to manifest.”

Looking at the original energy limit of 19 points on the attribute panel, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but think.

Comprehending skills convert comprehension at a ratio of 2:1, so 1 point of original energy should normally convert to 0.5 comprehension.

However, due to the attribute panel's settings, there are no decimal attribute values, so Shen Xingyan wasn't sure if there would be a 0.5 comprehension increase.

With this thought in mind, Shen Xingyan began his training for the day.

After only an hour of training, he stopped to check the skill progress, to see if the single increase after the upgrade had decreased.

Seeing that the level 4 'Force of Balance' had reached 3.5%, he was relieved and praised in his heart:

“As expected, the speed of improvement per hour remains unchanged after the upgrade. Although I don't understand the reason, I still hope to maintain this speed!”

Maintaining this rate of improvement, Shen Xingyan trained until nearly three o'clock in the afternoon. During this time, he trained for more than five hours, bringing the progress of 'Force of Balance' to 18%.

At this point, Shen Xingyan paused his training, adjusting his state while looking at the progress on the attribute panel, and began to estimate:

“The next hour of comprehension time is conservatively estimated to increase progress by 20%, so the total progress will reach 38%.

According to past experience, each hour of training after using a comprehension skill can increase progress by 0.5%, so the remaining 62% will require nearly 16 hours of training to complete.

According to the previous calculation, the harvest time for the seventh plot of strawberries is at 3 o'clock tonight. Excluding 6 hours of rest, I only have 5 hours left for training.

It seems that if I want to level up 'Force of Balance' again, I can only wait until tomorrow.”

After completing the estimation, Shen Xingyan shook his head regretfully, then replenished his strength and activated the comprehension skill that had just finished cooling down.

However, after entering the comprehension state this time, he didn't immediately start training. Instead, he took out the Star Origin Card to check if his comprehension value had increased with the 1-point increase in his original energy limit.

As the familiar attribute panel appeared before his eyes, his gaze turned to the comprehension skill:

Comprehension: Consumes a corresponding amount of original energy to increase the corresponding amount of comprehension value, duration of one hour, skill cooldown time of 24 hours, current comprehension value: 17.5 points.

“17.5 comprehension points! It seems that the hidden attribute is indeed different from the four major attributes. Even if it doesn't reach a full value of 1 point, it will manifest in the body. I wonder how much progress this 0.5 comprehension value increase can help me with.”

Seeing that the comprehension value had actually increased after only increasing the original energy limit by 1 point, Shen Xingyan was overjoyed. Then, he stopped thinking and immediately began to train.

Under this transparent state caused by the increased comprehension, Shen Xingyan's one hour of training passed very quickly in his senses.

In his feeling, it was almost an instant before the intoxicating state disappeared, and he returned to his usual state.

Having experienced this kind of gap many times, Shen Xingyan skillfully adjusted his emotions and then looked at 'Force of Balance', and was surprised to find that its progress had reached 42%:

“It's actually 4% more than I expected. Subtracting the previous 18%, I actually gained 24% progress in this one hour. Is 0.5 comprehension value that terrifying? Before, I thought an increase of 1% would be good!”

Shen Xingyan couldn't help but shake his head in amazement at the magnitude of this progress increase. He really didn't expect such a big improvement!

“It seems that the increase in comprehension value is not like the four major attributes, which simply stack attributes. It's truly a hidden attribute!”

Through this event, Shen Xingyan had a certain understanding of the hidden attribute, and then he no longer hesitated and continued to train.

After training for two hours, he stopped reluctantly.

While walking towards the kitchen, he checked the current results, and his eyes lit up when he saw that the total progress of 'Force of Balance' had reached 50.2%.

“In two hours of training, my 'Force of Balance' progress has increased by 8.2%.

Now the improvement per hour is 4.1%, and the 0.1% more than expected should be due to the increase in comprehension value.

It seems that the increase in comprehension value really has a big impact!” Shen Xingyan thought happily, but he didn't feel too surprised.

After all, after seeing the progress increase during the comprehension time, he vaguely thought that this increase would occur. At the same time, he paid more attention to the extraction of original energy.

After dinner, Shen Xingyan came to the planting space and summoned his four little skeletons for the day. The total number of little skeletons also reached 58.

After throwing them directly to Wang Cai, he didn't stay there any longer and returned directly to the real world.

Now he must race against time to train, because the day after tomorrow he will go to the Outer Realm full of mysterious aura. Having one more point of strength is one more guarantee.

Although this trial is conducted under the protection of the school's teachers, there will basically be no accidents.

But that is the Outer Realm, anything can happen. Moreover, his goal now is to survive well, and only by surviving can he usher in the explosion of potential in the future.

Sometimes he even wanted to propose to the school not to participate in this trial, because going to the Outer Realm means facing risks, which is contrary to his idea of lying down.

But he had to go, after all, abnormal behavior would only attract extra attention, which he didn't want to see.

Three hours later, in the underground training room, Shen Xingyan stopped training and told his sister to exercise appropriately and go back to sleep early, while he returned directly to his room and entered the Star Origin World.

Shen Xingying was both happy and a little puzzled that her brother was so obedient and went back to his room to rest.

“Logically speaking, my brother is going to the Outer Realm the day after tomorrow, and now he should be thinking about training all the time. What's wrong with him today?”
