This was a bit of a last-minute scramble.
Originally, Gao Neng had thought it would be better to use his second chance to prioritize upgrading "Elemental Life Fusion (Intermediate)." After all, it was an ability that would directly increase his combat power.
But now, the most pressing problem he faced was his rapidly increasing energy consumption. The Devourer was also dogging him relentlessly, refusing to return to its own territory.
This forced him to consider the "Second Magnetic Core."
Of course, this also presented a choice.
'On the surface, upgrading the Second Magnetic Core seems like the most urgent priority, but who's to say upgrading Elemental Life Fusion would be useless?'
'If the upgrade gave me some special ability that could deal with the Devourer, that would also be a chance to survive.'
'So, what should I choose?'
