If the physical potential is also modified to the top level, then the speed of his progress will be even more terrifying.

Even now, it is already amazing enough.

Just when Rocky was thinking about modifying his physical potential to the top level, suddenly, it seemed that there was no rush now!

The current speed of progress is already very fast.

Compared with modifying the physical potential to the top level, Rocky looked at his so-called bloodline ability and found that it was only low-level.

"That's right!"

Rocky himself is a member of the Kuruta tribe, and he is a Conjurer in normal state.

But if he opens the Scarlet Eyes, will there be any changes?

Thinking of this, Rocky went directly to the tea table beside the bed, picked up the kettle, and filled a cup of water in the teacup.

Then he sat cross-legged.

He exhaled gently and controlled his emotions.

Soon, Rocky's eyes began to glow scarlet. Before, Rocky could open the Scarlet Eyes and maintain the Scarlet Eyes state for several seconds.

Now, he didn't know how long it could last.

Rocky raised his hand to perform the Water-divination and stared at the water cup carefully.

The water in the cup suddenly began to surge!

This is...

"Enhancer..."

When I opened my Scarlet Eyes, my mind became an Enhancer?

This... was something Rocky hadn't expected.

But if it was an Enhancer, it would be quite suitable for the ability Rocky had imagined before.

Looking at the water that kept overflowing, Rocky quickly put away his mind.

Now Rocky didn't stop the Scarlet Eyes state but wanted to see how long he could maintain the Scarlet Eyes state now.

Staring at the clock on the wall, Rocky felt inexplicably tired after five minutes.

He quickly ended the Scarlet Eyes state.

And the moment he ended the state, Rocky felt as if his whole body was about to fall apart.

An unprecedented feeling of fatigue came over him.

Every part of his body seemed to be very uncomfortable.

He took a deep breath.

"It seems that I can maintain the Scarlet Eyes for at least five minutes now!"

"If I continue to squeeze my potential, I may be able to last longer!"

And after opening the Scarlet Eyes, my nen category will become an Enhancer.

This was very interesting. Originally, my Nen category was Conjurer, and what I wanted to materialize was a weapon like a sword.

For Conjureres, it wasn't the best choice.

But if we add the condition that my Nen system becomes Enhancer when my Scarlet Eyes are active, then this changes everything.

For example, if I materialize a weapon first, then activate the Scarlet Eyes, it would match the item I materialized!

The change in the Nen system would definitely affect the Conjurer's ability to handle the materialized item, but we can add a simple limitation: being able to maintain the item for only five minutes.

With that restriction in place, the ability strength of the item should remain stable in its initial state.

This problem is solved. Even if I activate my Scarlet Eyes and change my Nen category, it won't affect the materialized item too much.

In fact, it even combines the strengths of both Nen categories!

The balanced combat ability of the Enhancer, combined with the special powers of the Conjurer's materialized item.

To put it in simpler terms, I would be like a magic swordsman or paladin.

"If this is the case, then my primary goal for this modification should be my bloodline ability!"

Once the bloodline ability is modified, the duration of the Scarlet Eyes will definitely increase. It might even enhance my physical strength or the amount of Nen energy.

At this stage, developing my abilities is crucial, and the cooperation of the Scarlet Eyes is vital.

So, modifying my physical potential and bloodline ability now seems to be the most pressing need.

[Bloodline ability: Top]

Looking at the newly modified bloodline ability, Rocky suddenly frowned.

With the bloodline ability enhanced, opening the Scarlet Eyes would naturally give me more power. But would the burden also increase?

Would the extra power shorten the time I could maintain the Scarlet Eyes?

Rocky was deep in thought, when suddenly, a pop-up notification appeared.

[Host modified the information panel. Do you confirm?]

[Confirm this modification. Estimated countdown for the next modification permission acquisition: 9 (days): 23 (hours): 59 (minutes): 59 (seconds)]

It would take only ten days to modify the bloodline ability to its peak!

Rocky nodded. The time wasn't too long to wait.

Just as he was about to confirm the change, Rocky suddenly stopped.

Wait.

After the modification, can I still check the interval time required for the next modification?

Could this be a hidden rule?

Rocky was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the column above.

Information on physical potential:

[Physical Potential: Intermediate → Top Level]

If I modify my physical potential to the top level, how long will it take to modify?

Rocky didn't confirm yet, instead he waited for about ten seconds to think it through.

Sure enough, the prompt box popped up again.

[Host has modified the information panel. Do you want to confirm?]

[Confirm this modification. Estimated countdown for the next modification permission acquisition: 19 (days): 23 (hours): 59 (minutes): 59 (seconds)]

This time, the time had indeed increased, and it would take a full twenty days.

It took ten days to modify the bloodline ability to the top level, but it would take twenty days to modify the physical potential.

It seemed that this interval wasn't fixed, but rather specific to the modified information field.

From the time difference, it was clear that modifying physical potential would bring a greater enhancement than modifying the bloodline ability. Otherwise, it wouldn't take twice as long.

Rocky glanced at the flashing prompt.

Ten days and twenty days—this was the more natural choice!

Wouldn't it be better to modify the bloodline ability first, and then modify the physical potential?

It wouldn't take much time, anyway.

"That's right! It doesn't have to be upgraded to the top level directly!"

[Bloodline Ability: Intermediate]

[Estimated countdown to the next modification permission: 2 (days): 23 (hours): 59 (minutes): 59 (seconds)]

It would only take three days to upgrade from low to intermediate level!

This was ideal; it wouldn't waste too much time. At the same time, if the burden of modifying the bloodline ability turned out to be greater, Rocky could always change it back.

Sometimes, too much powerful power wasn't as useful with too many restrictions. The actual combat effect brought by a conventional approach might prove more efficient.

[Confirm Modification]

[Modification Completed]

[Re-evaluating and improving panel information, obtaining new modification permissions]

[Modification Permission Countdown: 2 (days): 23 (hours): 59 (minutes): 59 (seconds)]

Now, his bloodline ability had been upgraded to an intermediate level.

Rocky closed his eyes gently. If he remembered correctly, after the last modification was completed, his state seemed to have reset.

The fatigue in his body disappeared instantly.

This was also something that could be used strategically.

If a new information field appeared later, Rocky could modify it bit by bit, controlling the interval time for obtaining the next modification permission to stay within one minute.

This meant that Rocky could essentially reset his state repeatedly. If he were near death, resetting could instantly recover his injuries.

This could be tested through experiments later.

Now that his state had reset, Rocky was eager to see what changes the current Scarlet Eyes state brought.
