Chapter 350: A Friendly Negotiation between Demi-Gods... Part-1.



The status panel that every awakener has in the world is a very crude and unreliable thing. Most awakeners don't even bother looking at it, as it can't properly show them their true combat capabilities.

If you think that you are stronger than others just because your stats are higher, you will find that you are sorely mistaken.

Base stats are not everything; the main aspect is the skill and technique that you have mastered.

Base stats just show what your body is capable of at its 'maximum' limits; when your stats increase, you are basically just increasing that maximum limit of your capabilities.

Usually, you don't use your full power at all; you only use a part of it.

The stats in this world work very differently; they are heavily dependent on'skills''.

For example, Link's base stats are around 120 due to his unique Dragon Physique; on the other hand, Rio's base stats have now become 100.

However, they have been increased by the Imperfect Sword Heart, so his base stats are always at the level of an SS ranker.

Yet, why is it that Link's defensive power is higher than that of Rio? Why is it that Rio's speed is the only thing that seems to improve, even though his other stats are just as strong as his speed one?

The answer to it is simple.

Link's techniques and nearly all skills focus on the strength and defense stats, while Rio is more inclined towards the speed stats.

Their own "Mentality," "skill," and "Techniques" have an impact on their statistics.

Rio wanted more 'Speed' to improve the attack speed of his sword techniques; thus, nearly all of his stats, may it be strength, agility, etc., focus on improving the 'Speed' stat.

Basically, a person's other stats work as auxiliary and support the main stat according to their skillset.

But what if the person has focused his whole stat on strength but still wants to learn speed- type skills?

Of course, this is also possible. In that scenario, your speed stat will work as an independent stat and won't be boosted by other stats.

This is the exact reason why Link couldn't keep up with Rio's speed even after learning movement art and deploying a giant dragon field, along with boosting himself with Dao Rhythm.

Link has focused all his stats on strength and defense, while Rio has focused them on speed and agility.

The two of them have completely opposite motives and personalities.

Link believes in fighting head-on and landing heavy and effective hits, while Rio enters combat with the thought in his mind that he will not get 'hit' by any of the opponents attacks and will land all of his own attacks with fast speed instead.

The factors that influence the base stats of an individual are just too many to count.

Not only does the person's physical condition affect their stats, but even the smallest debuffs and buffs can change things on a large scale.

This world is full of possibilities, so it is a very unwise choice to judge people simply because of their stats.

A person can be faster than you even if their speed stat is lower than yours just because he has focused all his other stats to support the speed stat and you haven't.

This is the beauty of being an 'Awakener'; you have insane control over your body, and you can create your own unique 'Path'.

Aside from the base stats, the rest of the status panel is also more or less inaccurate.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

It barely gives you any skill information or description, and if you don't know about some crucial things, it won't even show them on it.

For example, Link didn't know that his Dragon Arts's actual name was 'The Divine Dragon Art' and his physique's name was 'The Divine Dragon Physique'.

Thus, his status panel only showed them as 'Dragon Arts' and 'Dragon Physique'; this just shows how inaccurate this status panel can be at times.

Only one person in this world has the '99.99%' accurate status panel, and that is Fade Crest.

He has a proper 'System', a manifestation of the law of 'Luck' itself; the system gives Fade accurate measurement, and he even has the 'Appraisal' skill that can not only help him see others status panels; it can even help him in combat.

Even his own daughter, whom he used to consider his pride, seems to have been overwhelmed

by Link's bright presence.

Ever since Selain was young, Idri was never present for her.

He went to wander around in outer space with Aria when Selain was still just a kid.

He has only recently returned from his hundred-year-long absence, and Selain and Idri don't even have much of a father-sister bond between them due to this.

Selain has tried her best to impress him, but it's just not enough.

Ever since Idri found out about Link's existence sixteen years ago, he has been captivated by

his talent.

Comparing others with Link is like comparing fireflies to the sun itself, in Idri's opinion; thus, even his own daughter seems nothing but an average kid, even though she dominates her

dragon peers.

...

After about half an hour, Idri stopped pointing out the details and nodded his head. "Good, you already figured out most of the things... You should stay in the dragon temple for

the next few days and digest all that you have learned today..."

"Practice your improved dragon arts and become stronger..."

Idri waved his hand, and a maid appeared on the rooftop.

"Guide Link to a Training hall..."

Link also nodded his head and agreed to Idri's words; what he has learned today is indeed very

valuable.

The insights obtained from the Dragon King himself are no joke; from now on, Link's dragon arts will be at least fifty percent stronger.

Link left in a hurry with the maid, but Idri remained on the rooftop. The smile on his face

instantly vanished, and an extremely cold and intimidating look appeared on his face. He glanced at the corner of the roof and spoke in a cold tone.

"How long are you planning on standing there? I don't remember inviting you to the Dragon

Valley..."

At the Dragon King's words, a man with dark purple hair and pupils appeared on the corner of

the rooftop.

A shrewd smile hung over the man's face as he said in a mocking tone,

"Hoho... You found me so easily, as expected of the dragon king, I guess..."
