Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant

Ji Xinghuo returned home and stopped paying attention to the affairs of the outside world.

On the journey from the Mutant Service Center to his home, his Star Power value increased to 5, and his body became further strengthened.

Although there was no noticeable change in his physique, internally, whether it was strength or endurance, his physical fitness was obviously much improved.

Ji Xinghuo kept in mind the precautions during the Evolution Period and took a rest for a while.

"It's still early..."

He glanced at the clock, it was just after three in the afternoon, and it seemed pointless to just sit around idly, "I can't overexert myself with training to the point of exhaustion, but some light training won't hurt."

So, he turned on his phone and purchased some training accessories.

Ten minutes later.

Ji Xinghuo received a notification and saw a silver-white drone rapidly approaching the apartment building where he lived, descending to a predetermined delivery point on the balcony outside the apartment, gently setting down a parcel box, and then taking off and leaving.

He went out to the balcony, brought in the parcel box, and opened it to find the items he had just ordered.

After spending a few minutes unpacking, there were dozens of coins of various sizes, a dozen tennis balls and metal balls, a set of rubber juggling clubs, an electronic keyboard with hundreds of keys, a keyboard that was long obsolete, several bundles of rope, and some oddly shaped tools.

A miscellaneous assortment, they looked like props from a circus performance.

All these were to be used in the training of the "Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand."

Ji Xinghuo picked up a coin and placed it on the back of his fingers, his fingers moving rapidly, and the coin immediately started rolling between them.

After a few seconds, the flipping coin came to a momentary halt.

"Still not proficient..."

Ji Xinghuo practiced for a moment and quickly mastered the trick of rolling a single coin.

The coin danced between his fingers like a breaking wave, at a rapid pace, dazzling to watch but never falling off.

Then he added another coin.

According to the training method's requirements, each hand could roll up to three coins of different weights and sizes at the same time, without them colliding with each other.

Even with the aid of the Wanxiang Star Pupil, accomplishing this was not easy.

He didn't expect to master it right away but switched after half an hour of training to another activity, beginning to juggle tennis balls, one after another, into the air. After managing ten tennis balls steadily for a while, he added a rubber juggling club, and immediately started to fumble.

He trained on several items from afternoon until late at night, cycling through them multiple times.

Flipping coins, juggling balls, playing the keys rapidly, typing, rope tricks, disassembling puzzle locks, he mastered them all proficiently.

He felt he was making rapid progress.

Before going to sleep, Ji Xinghuo opened his information interface and saw that his Star Power had grown to 28.

However, the progress of the Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand remained at 1/47.

"Upgrading abilities is indeed difficult," Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but sigh, but he was not discouraged and quickly fell asleep.

The next day, when he woke up.

Ji Xinghuo noticed his body had become somewhat stronger than the previous night, but the degree of strengthening was less than yesterday, and the pace of strengthening had clearly slowed down.

His Star Power value had reached 41, also slowing in its growth.

"My first Evolution Period should end today," Ji Xinghuo got out of bed, washed up, had his breakfast, and then began today's Ability training.

Exercising an Ability also required the consumption of Star Power.

Different Abilities consumed different amounts of Star Power. The Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand was a permanent passive Ability and belonged to the category with the least consumption.

Yesterday, Ji Xinghuo trained for seven or eight hours using the Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand, but the consumption of Star Power was not much, not even a third of the total.

Moreover, the Star Power consumed in Ability training, even after recovery, had a negligible effect on the increase of Star Power.

Star Power needs to be combined with physical fitness training for the fastest growth.

Therefore, Ability training and Star Power cultivation are usually conducted separately, creating a conflict in time distribution, making it difficult for Mutants to focus on both and forcing them to make a choice.

You either concentrate on cultivating Star Power or focus on training your Ability.

Ji Xinghuo currently had no such worries, wholeheartedly practicing the Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand. He found the monotonous training quite enjoyable, and he immersed himself in it, losing track of time.

Every few minutes, he would check his interface.

The day passed quickly.

After dinner, Ji Xinghuo resumed his training until a little past nine o'clock in the evening when he finally stopped.

Within the interface of the Wanxiang Star Pupil, the information about the Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand had updated!

[Ability: Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand (First Level 2/47)]

"Finally..."

Ji Xinghuo exhaled, silently calculating, "I trained for a total of twenty hours from yesterday to now, and the progress of the Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand only increased by 1."

"Assuming the difficulty of progression remains the same, it would take 940 hours to reach the Second Level."

"If I put in all my effort, taking out time for sleep and meals, I have 16 hours a day, with 8 hours for cultivating Star Power and 8 hours for training Ability, then it would take 120 days to raise the Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand to the Second Level."

After this calculation, Ji Xinghuo's eyes lit up.

"That's so fast!"

The higher the grade of an Ability, the more difficult it is to upgrade.

The Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand is a Superior Ability, and to be able to upgrade to the Second Level in just four months is definitely considered very fast.

You must know, most Rangers' Thousand Spirit Skillful Hands stay at the First Level for a lifetime.

It's generally only those who advance to Intermediate or even Advanced Mutant Rangers that can elevate the Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand to the Second Level, and their average time taken is around three years!

Four months compared to three years is nine times more efficient.

Ji Xinghuo was even taken aback by himself.

Always clear about his own abilities, Ji Xinghuo knew that his talent and willpower surpassed the vast majority of people, exceeding 99% of his peers.
