After reaching level nine of rank zero, the next upgrade was not level ten of rank zero as Jiang Chen had thought, but rather level one of rank one.

However, Jiang Chen was too preoccupied with these matters at that moment.

The mental energy in his mind started operating on its own, completely beyond Jiang Chen's control.

Under the influence of some unknown force, streams of spiritual energy gathered in the sea of ​​consciousness, transforming into wisps of 'mist'.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, a large amount of mist began to condense, transforming into crystals resembling stars, which swirled rapidly around a giant sphere at the center of the sea of ​​consciousness, like a vast galaxy.

Suddenly, the sphere at the center of his consciousness began to contract and expand, like a beating heart.

With each pulsation, a portion of the surrounding 'galactic vortex' is swallowed by the sphere.

After completely devouring all the crystals, water, and mist in the entire sea of ​​consciousness, the sphere suddenly contracted to its limit and then exploded.

Boom~!

The entire sea of ​​consciousness trembled, and a large amount of almost tangible spiritual energy instantly swept into every corner of the sea of ​​consciousness.

Just as the outburst reached its peak, a black hole seemed to appear in the center of the sea of ​​consciousness, drawing everything within the space of consciousness towards it.

Almost instantly, the space in his sea of ​​consciousness became empty, leaving only a dazzling ball of light floating in the center.

It's like a planet.

An invisible force spread out from the center of the light sphere, bursting out of the sea of ​​consciousness and spreading throughout Jiang Chen's entire body, slowly transforming his body.

Planetary-level mental power, achieved!

And this is just the beginning.

After the first micro-planet appeared, then the second, the third...

Five miniature planets floated in Jiang Chen's sea of ​​consciousness, forming a circle and subtly connected to each other.

After the five miniature planets were born in his sea of ​​consciousness, as an invisible force was transmitted throughout his body, Jiang Chen's dantian also began to undergo earth-shattering changes.

After a long while, a miniature cyan planet appeared in Jiang Chen's dantian, causing Jiang Chen's martial arts level to also break through to the planetary level.

"Martial Artist Planetary Level 1, Spiritualist Planetary Level 5? Something feels off. Shouldn't a normal Spiritualist's psychic power level be at most two levels higher than a Martial Artist's?"

A hint of doubt arose in Jiang Chen's mind, and he immediately focused his attention on the cyan miniature planet in his dantian.

The moment Jiang Chen's consciousness was immersed in his dantian, a piece of information immediately appeared in his mind.

"Wind attribute? The special ability is to make attacks 'sharp' and can be attached to weapons... It's alright, at least it greatly increases attack power."

Feeling his 'special ability', Jiang Chen nodded slightly, indicating his satisfaction.

Although he hadn't tested it, Jiang Chen knew from the faint sense of 'sharpness' he felt in his telekinesis and Force that his attack power would definitely increase dramatically after this breakthrough.

Without special defensive measures, even a strong opponent of the same level would be unable to withstand a single blow from him head-on.

Of course, with Jiang Chen's almost zero combat experience, whether he can successfully hit the enemy is another matter entirely.

However, below the planetary level, Jiang Chen can easily crush any enemy simply by overwhelming their attributes.

Most importantly, as long as he reveals his 'planetary level', even other human powerhouses at the same planetary level will not easily test or provoke Jiang Chen if they do not know his true strength.

Among humans, there are only a few dozen powerful councilors who have reached the planetary level, and they rarely fight each other, perhaps only once every few years or even decades.

Although the profits involved in the "Boxer" are substantial, if Jiang Chen only retains the production rights and distributes most of the production capacity to the eight giants, keeping only a small number of "Boxers" for himself, he can still protect these profits with his current strength.

"We've already finalized the alternatives for energy and chips. Now that our materials science level has improved, we can also change the alloy formula. We can soon produce a prototype of the new [Boxer] for real-world testing. But before that..."

Jiang Chen felt the powerful force continuously emanating from his body and couldn't help but smile: "First, demonstrate your planetary-level strength, make a name for yourself, and then join the 'War God Palace'!"

"correct!"

Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something and immediately opened the system panel.

Jiang Chen had accumulated all his previous skill points but hadn't redeemed them.

243 skill points are enough to exchange for some very powerful abilities.

If you choose a slightly less powerful one, you can exchange for two or three feats, and the combined effect will not be inferior to a single powerful feat.

If you just hoard your skill points and can't put them to any use, the best option is to use them to accelerate your growth.

However, Jiang Chen didn't rush to check his specializations; instead, he opened the system library.

In the spacious library, on the densely packed bookshelves, Jiang Chen had already read and fully mastered the vast majority of the books, with only a small portion yet to be read.

At the far end of the library, where there used to be a wall, a large door appeared.

Behind the door is a staircase. Going up the staircase, you'll find another library on the second floor, but it's larger and has more sections.

Jiang Chen glanced at the books, and the mere title of many of them gave him a headache.

That was profound knowledge far beyond Jiang Chen's comprehension, like asking an elementary school student to learn university-level mathematics.

But what caught Jiang Chen's attention even more was a brand new section that occupied half of the entire library floor.

The label on the bookshelf clearly reads "Alchemy Technology".

A completely new system!

Jiang Chen couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The benefits brought by this advancement far exceeded Jiang Chen's expectations!
