First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 15: Destiny Promotion [Strong as an Ox]

"Should I go out and take a look?"

After Chen Mengze left, Shen Mo fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a long time, he firmly said, "I should go out and take a look."

Although it was dangerous outside, Shen Mo knew that he couldn't stay in the sect and live a peaceful life forever.

Sooner or later, he would have to engage in battles.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the deacon hall and see what kind of training tasks there are," he thought and said.

The reason why Shen Mo was determined to go out and train was not because he was eager to break through his current realm.

The most important reason was to verify a conjecture.

With that in mind, his mind stirred and his destiny points appeared before his eyes.

[Destiny Points: 11]

These destiny points were accumulated by him through cultivation this month.

"Relying solely on cultivation to accumulate destiny points is still too slow."

In one month, he could only accumulate around ten destiny points.

At first, Shen Mo thought this progress was acceptable, but as time went on, he felt it was too slow.

"If I can accumulate destiny points through cultivation, then going out to train, killing Demonic Beasts, and fighting enemies should also earn me destiny points," Shen Mo secretly speculated, but he didn't have an answer.

Although he believed it was highly likely, he still needed to confirm it.

This trip to train outside was his way of confirming it.

"Let's think about these things tomorrow. Today, let's use the destiny points first!"

He sat in the Lotus Position, suppressing his restless thoughts, and opened the destiny panel.

[Main Character: Shen Mo]

[Destiny Chart: Four white, one green, the remaining two are currently unknown.]

Special Destiny: [Strong (White): Your physique is good, and your strength and resilience are stronger than ordinary people.]

Special Destiny: [Keen Eyesight (Green): Your eyesight is good, and you often have the opportunity to find hidden treasures.]

"Let's use the destiny points to draw some special destinies first."

He thought and opened the destiny pool, his mind focused.

In the next moment, his destiny points decreased by one.

At the same time, a golden light shone, and a destiny attribute appeared before his eyes.

[Daring (White): You are full of courage, so even in dangerous situations, you won't lose your composure.]

"Daring? Is this a personality type of special destiny?"

After examining the description of the destiny for a moment, Shen Mo felt somewhat disappointed.

It seemed to have no special bonuses, just the ability to remain calm in a crisis.

"What I lack now is strength, not courage. This destiny is too mediocre."

"Let's draw another one."

Shen Mo rubbed his hands together and drew again.

"Buzz!"

After the golden light flickered, another destiny attribute slowly appeared.

[Fortune Encounter (Green): The probability of encountering fortuitous events in your daily life increases.]

"Fortuitous encounter? Is this a destiny related to opportunities?"

"Green, the rank is not low."

Shen Mo was quite satisfied with the newly appeared destiny: "This destiny can be equipped!"

He equipped this destiny in the second destiny slot.

[Keen Eyesight (Green)] remained unused in his destiny inventory.

"In daily walking and cultivation, I can wear this Fortune Encounter destiny to increase the probability of encountering opportunities."

"When shopping in the market or attending trade fairs, it's best to wear glasses with good eyesight."

"Destiny equipment slots are limited to two, so Shen Mo needs to make choices."

He carefully considers which destinies to wear long-term, which ones to wear periodically, and which ones to keep in inventory and collect dust.

"The remaining destiny points should be used to promote special destinies."

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Mo makes a decision.

No matter how many special destinies he obtains, he can only wear two of them.

Shen Mo is quite satisfied with the two special destiny types he currently has equipped, so he doesn't plan on replacing them for now.

He decides to upgrade the special destinies first.

After some exploration, Shen Mo gradually understands the rules of the destiny panel.

Special destinies can be upgraded using destiny points.

However, the upgraded effect will inherit the type of the destiny being upgraded.

For example, the "Robust" destiny he currently has equipped belongs to the physique type.

If he enhances it, he might obtain a new destiny similar to "Tiger's Back and Bear's Waist" or "Iron Bones and Steel Muscles," but it will still fall within the category of physique.

Similarly, if he enhances the "Adventure·Ordinary" destiny, he will likely obtain a higher-level destiny related to opportunities, but it won't deviate from that category.

"Let's start with 'Robust'."

He thinks and puts the destiny points on the "Robust" destiny.

"Buzz."

"You failed to promote the 'Robust' destiny by consuming destiny points."

"Let's try again!"

Without any disappointment after seeing the information prompt, Shen Mo tries again.

"You failed to promote the 'Robust' destiny by consuming destiny points."

"You failed to promote the 'Robust' destiny by consuming destiny points."

He tries to promote it five times in a row, but all attempts end in failure.

Looking at the remaining 4 destiny points, Shen Mo feels a bit distressed. "Let's try again!"

"Buzz!"

When the eighth promotion begins, a dazzling golden light appears, and he finally succeeds.

"You successfully promoted the 'Robust' destiny by consuming destiny points. Congratulations, you have obtained the new destiny 'Strong as an Ox'."

"'Strong as an Ox'?"

He quickly opens the destiny's attributes and carefully examines them.

"'Strong as an Ox' (Green): Your body is as strong as an ox, as if you have endless strength."

"Has my strength increased?" Shen Mo examines the destiny's effect and silently tests it.

After some testing, Shen Mo estimates that the increase in strength is about 30% compared to not having this destiny equipped.

He is very satisfied with this effect.

A 30% increase in strength is already quite significant.

Moreover, this physique-type destiny not only gives him more strength in combat but also improves his resilience and defense when being attacked.

"Green-grade is only the third grade of destinies. If I can promote it to blue, purple, or even orange-gold, the effect will likely be much stronger."

Shen Mo thinks to himself but soon smiles bitterly, "It's too early to think about this now."

He has saved up his destiny points for a month just to upgrade it to green.

And this is only a low-level promotion. Although the failure rate is high, the number of destiny points required for each promotion is not much.

It only requires one point each time.

Based on his experience in upgrading basic destiny attributes, if he wants to upgrade from green to blue, it will cost ten destiny points each time, and the failure rate is also quite high.

Obtaining high-rank destinies is still a long way to go.

"With three destiny points left, let's try the basic destinies."

He looks at the remaining 3 destiny points and opens the panel information for the basic destinies.
