As Lian reviewed today's combat ratings, he felt his breath quicken, almost suffocating. The Combat Points earned from this battle were astonishingly high, so much so that it seemed unbelievable.
This must be a system bug, yet surprisingly, it hasn't been fixed yet. Lian decided it would be best to quickly utilize these Combat Points, converting them into actual fighting power before the system detects and corrects the issue.
The sheer number of Combat Points left Lian's lips trembling; it was by far the highest combat score in history, possibly even a one-time occurrence.
Today's combat rating reached SSS level, likely because SSS is the maximum achievable grade. If there were higher tiers, Lian suspects his score could have potentially climbed even further.
Lian counted - he had defeated a total of fifty-four Genesects. Among them, seventeen were instantly taken down at full strength, while the remaining thirty-seven had already sustained some Stamina loss.
This pained him somewhat; if only he had decisively eliminated a few more Genesects, it could have been even better. Additionally, over ten Genesects were defeated by the Pokemon of mid-level trainers during the battle.
Nevertheless, it was still impressive. The only regret was not defeating all Genesects at full health, as Lian's Fire Blast could undoubtedly instantaneously eliminate them when fully charged.
However, this wasn't entirely within Lian's control. Given the intense battle scenario with numerous Pokemon attacks, maintaining so many Genesects at full health was already commendable.
Lian examined his Combat Points earnings from this battle, and just the seventeen fully charged Genesects alone contributed a substantial amount.
All the Genesects were Level 70, as expected by Lian. However, since they were genetically modified, these Genesects did not have any post-evolution ability enhancements; their capabilities solely depended on individual differences.
The seventeen fully charged Genesects had exceptionally high Stamina values, all reaching above 1,900 points. Due to individual variations, some even surpassed 2,000 points.
What thrilled Lian most was that each Genesect was counted as a legendary Pokémon, resulting in a significant multiplier bonus for every defeat.
Lian couldn't contain his joy; just from these seventeen fully charged Genesects, he earned 74,687 Combat Points. On average, each multiplier bonus amounted to approximately 2.2 times.
Achieving an average multiplier of 2.2 times was exceptionally high. Individually, some Genesects provided only a 1.23-fold increase, while others offered up to 2.78 or even triple the bonus.
After calculating the multiplier bonuses for the fully charged Genesects, it was time for the main event. Although the remaining Genesects were not at full capacity, they still had significant Stamina left. The thirty-seven injured Genesects contributed a substantial amount of Combat Points.
This time, luck wasn't as favorable, with an average multiplier of only 2.1 times. However, the average Stamina of these Genesects reached around 1,500. In total, the thirty-seven injured Genesects yielded Lian 116,550 Combat Points. Adding this to the previous 74,687 points, he amassed a grand total of 191,237 Combat Points from this battle.
With over 190,000 Combat Points, combined with his existing balance, Lian once again surpassed the mark of 200,000 Combat Points.
"With so many Combat Points, I can now increase my Control Rating."
Lian was ecstatic; previously, his highest single reward had been around ten thousand Combat Points, but this time he amassed nearly 200,000. It felt like hitting an overnight jackpot.
With such a substantial amount of Combat Points, Lian could directly enhance his Control Rating. Originally, it would have taken him several months to achieve this, but now he could do it immediately, saving considerable time.
Reaching 70% Fire-Type Mastery would be a significant leap forward, and Lian was fully prepared. This time, without a doubt, he decided to boost his Fire-Type Mastery.
Simultaneously, he checked his level, which had reached Level 50 (7%). The experience gained from defeating fifty-four Genesects was substantial, propelling him instantly to Level 50.
Now, Lian officially joined the ranks of Level 50 trainers, far surpassing the strength typically associated with other Pokemon at this level.
His current Fire-Type Mastery stood at 60%, unchanged for quite some time. Without hesitation, Lian quickly accessed the Fire-Type Mastery option and began clicking on the plus sign repeatedly.
The Fire-Type Mastery rapidly increased as Lian continuously clicked, while his Combat Points dwindled swiftly, dropping at an astonishing rate.
Although his Combat Points dropped rapidly, Lian didn't feel any regret; it was all worth it. Combat Points themselves have no inherent value unless converted into actual combat strength.
Lian had long understood this concept, akin to money - its significance only arises when spent. If not utilized, their value diminishes over time, ultimately leading to loss.
In an instant, 160,000 Combat Points vanished, leaving him with just over 40,000 remaining. Simultaneously, his Fire-Type Mastery increased to 70%.
"Finally reached! I wonder what changes will occur."
Lian felt unfazed because within the system's space, due to its amplification effect, his Fire-Type Mastery consistently remained at 100%. In that realm, he was omnipotent.
Hence, adapting to a 70% Fire-Type Mastery posed no concern for Lian. On the contrary, once outside, he would swiftly adjust, having already grown accustomed to higher mastery levels within the system space.
This is one of the benefits of the system space: allowing Lian to acclimate to exceptionally high mastery levels beforehand. For other Pokemon, suddenly gaining such strong mastery would require significant time to adapt, as they typically progress gradually unlike Lian, who leverages the system's capabilities for rapid enhancement.
Typically, Pokemon gradually increase their Control Rating, unlike Lian who utilized the system's ability for rapid enhancement. Consequently, there was no need for adaptation.
"With 70% Fire-Type Mastery, I should be able to develop even more advanced move applications." Within the system space, Lian had experimented countless times with various moves, becoming exceedingly familiar with flames over this extended period.
Moving from 60% to 70% Control Rating marked a significant leap, allowing Lian to unleash stronger moves potentially surpassing even his Flame Spiral technique.
Flame Spiral was a highly enhanced Fire-type move developed by Lian based on Flamethrower. According to the system, its power rating is approximately 120, comparable to some exceptionally strong moves with side effects.
Lian conducted numerous trials within the system space, resulting in several improved moves. However, their true effectiveness could only be determined when used in reality.
Now that he has achieved the required Control Rating, Lian eagerly awaits opportunities to test these refined moves and assess which ones prove most practical outside the system space.
