"Listen carefully now."
Next, Erin carefully explained the five major chains for Li Wei, who is evolving.
The so-called "unlocking of the genetic lock" is a term from the new era. The genetics of this new age is completely different from the biological genetics that Li Wei remembers from the modern society of the past.
The gene in the new era is a kind of extraordinary power hidden in the blood, life, and even soul of living beings.
Among the five major gene chains, the power chain, as its name implies, represents the physical strength. Of the people Li Wei knows, Willis is undoubtedly someone who will inevitably take the evolutionary route of the power chain in the future. This chain will greatly enhance a person's physical strength, even to a terrifying extent. Increasing strength is just the foundation; for instance, the guy Waldo, wielding a war hammer and attacking with thunder, must be demonstrating some kind of lightning attribute skill of the power chain.
The reflex chain, on the other hand, is the speed of nervous reflexes. Limit speed, limit reaction ability, limit flexibility, cell activity... All these are closely related to the reflex chain. In the four-leaf branch, there is a very famous hunter, [Maple Leaf Blade]Gu Shiqiu, who is a typical consumer of reflex chain enhancement. His blade is extremely lethal, and no matter what kind of opponent he faces, he can always easily hit the opponent's weakest spot and cause fatal damage. And no matter what kind of attack, it is extremely difficult to hit him.
Just as its name suggests, the Solid Wall Chain bestows upon those who walk beneath it the power akin to a solid wall. The vitality will be immensely enhanced, with little need to worry about diseases, becoming difficult to kill, and capable of withstanding damage that far exceeds what ordinary evolvers can endure. Moreover, abilities that evolve from the Solid Wall Chain will further elevate various aspects of defense. This includes protection on a mental and soul level, which is closely connected to the Solid Wall Chain.
The Hub Chain represents the power of the mind. With the power of the mind directly materialized within reality, it creates abilities that are terrifying in effect, extensive in scope, or serve various special purposes. Judith is a prime example of this, as her title of the "Witch" was earned through setting one fire after another. Meanwhile, Qianlong, who excels at using telekinesis, is also a master within the ranks of the Hub Chain.
The Will Chain is somewhat similar to the Hub Chain, representing spiritual power. However, there is a significant difference between the Will Chain and the Hub Chain. The effects of the Will Chain are mainly manifested in the manipulation of external energies that do not belong to oneself. For instance, Rune Masters are a typical example. Similarly, those who primarily use enhanced bullets in combat are mostly developers of the Will Chain. Low-level engraved bullets can still be used universally for now, but high-level engraved items must require a sufficiently strong level of the Will Chain to be used.
Eileen herself is a master of the Will Chain, as is the Silver Messenger Mars, and Chai Yu Tong will likely take this path in the future without any unexpected incidents.
For Li Wei, he really hasn't carefully considered which path to take in the past, but now, it's something that must be considered.
Reflecting on his current fighting style, it is primarily focused on close combat, supplemented by firearms. With the power enhancement brought by the ghost hand, and the force utilization such as Demon Slash, Steel Slash, and Demon Claw, his combat strength in mid to short distances is extremely formidable. At the same time, firearms also provide him with means at long range.
In this way, the Force Chain is something he urgently needs, and the Will Chain is indispensable as well.
However, upon careful consideration and further reflection, Li Wei felt that things were not so simple.
By analyzing the several abilities provided by the Book of All Laws, Li Wei must make a more cautious decision.
The abilities provided by the Book of All Laws have greatly enhanced his combat strength, which is also his greatest reliance. Nevertheless, these abilities, without a doubt, are also established based on this body of his. Whether it is activating the Sharingan, activating the power of the demon left hand, using Steel Slash, or Mage Armor, all require the consumption of his physical energy.
The Sharingan should represent the Nexus Chain, or perhaps it also has some connection to the Reflective Chain. The Demon's Left Hand can be defined as the Power Chain, but the demon energy that emerges seems to have a certain relationship with the Nexus Chain as well. The Mage's Armor should also be the Nexus Chain, or it might be the power of the Barrier Chain. The Steel Slash is related to the Power Chain, but it may also involve some strength from the Reflective Chain...
These are all judgments that Li Wei has made based on his experience using these abilities in the current moment, and they may not be very accurate. After all, he has not yet unlocked his genetic lock and has not experienced what extraordinary chains are all about, so he cannot make a sufficiently accurate judgment.
However, even if they are not entirely accurate, they are likely to be at least 80% correct.
"So this is asking me to be all-around proficient and develop in all areas?" Li Wei mentally complained.
By his ear, Erin's voice continued to sound: "Actually, you just need to have a general idea in your mind. All five chains are useful, and no one really insists on going all the way to the end on one path. That's too extreme. Take me, for example. My main focus is on the Will Chain, but I still have a good level in the Reflex Chain and the Fortress Chain. Judith mainly focuses on the Hub Chain, but she has learned a lot of means of the Fortress Chain and the Will Chain. Take my father, for example. He has basically been involved in all five chains, even materializing the elements of the Will Chain and the Reflex Chain."
Erin roughly introduced to him her own, Judith's, and even her father Mars' ability evolution direction. There's nothing wrong with talking about it. Although these things are not widely known, there are also a lot of people who know about it among famous masters.
Erin continued: "What you need to consider most now is to find a training method."
"Training method?"
"Yes, training method. To unlock the genetic chains, it is not enough to rely solely on injections of genetic fluid one needle at a time. It can comprehensively strengthen your body and spirit, but it cannot achieve a qualitative transformation for you in a certain chain. You need to find a suitable training method to further temper your strength, achieving sublimation in one of the chains and accumulating enough power."
"What training method do you think is suitable for me? Do you have any suggestions?"
"I suggest you look for a training method for the power chain and a training method for the hub chain. This also matches your innate abilities. I heard from Judith that you want to develop in the direction of magical pattern masters and bullet control? If you have enough energy, you can also look for a training method for the will chain, but I suggest you take this aspect as an auxiliary."
In fact, there is nothing wrong with her suggestion. Levi indeed plans to consider it.
Primarily focus on Power Chains and Hub Chains, with Will Chains and Barrier Chains as auxiliary options. After all, Barrier Chains are almost something every evolute must dabble in. As for the Reflection Chains, they can be considered later on.
Is it settled just like this? Li Wei scratched his head, feeling that something was a bit off.
