Chapter 71: Instant Kill Ability
[Azure Shadow King ability has been upgraded to Lv.11.]
[Your body speed is permanently increased by 1.5 times (body speed includes: movement speed, attack speed, neural reflex speed, etc.).]
[Azure Shadow King: Lv.11 (Ultimate Skill)]
Effect 1 (Shadow Devour): After killing an enemy of the same rank, immediately recover 2% of maximum mana.
Note: For every Lv.1 increase, the maximum mana recovery amount increases by 2%.
Effect 2 (Azure Shadow King): Immediately consume 6000 points of Cyan Steel Shadow Energy to construct a weapon of any form within 0.03 seconds. This weapon can only attack once, dealing damage equal to the enemy's lost mana × 2.1 + 4700 points of True Damage.
Note: In this attack, both damage judgments are True Damage.
Note: For every Lv.1 increase, the attack power of this ability will be enhanced.
...
After reviewing the Azure Shadow King ability, Su Xiao discovered the most powerful aspect of this ultimate skill: every Lv.10 increase grants him a permanent enhancement.
From Azure Shadow King Lv.1 to Lv.10, the enhancement was to body speed, totaling a 1.5 times increase. His body now permanently possesses this boost.
At Azure Shadow King Lv.11, the enhancement is to mana recovery. Each time he kills an enemy of the same rank, he recovers 2% of his mana. This might seem insignificant, but with Su Xiao's 27,900 mana points, 2% equals 558 points. On a chaotic battlefield, this is already a powerful boost.
Moreover, for every level of Azure Shadow King increased, the mana recovery rises by another 2%, likely reaching a maximum of 20%. Killing one enemy and recovering 20% mana is a feeling Su Xiao has experienced before; the 'trial card' of Azure Shadow King had this same effect.
As for the core ability of Azure Shadow King, Su Xiao stood up and clenched his left hand. Suddenly, light blue crystals surged, instantly forming a crystal war scythe with a massive blade curvature, better suited for horizontal slashes, which Su Xiao gripped in his hand.
He swung the scythe once. With a whoosh, a massive blue arc appeared, and then, aside from Su Xiao, nothing remained in the room. The walls were covered in slash marks. If this weren't an exclusive room, it would have shattered along with this strike.
The formation speed was incredibly fast, more than three times faster than the convergence of Blood Beast. As for the power, ignoring the subsequent 4700 points of True Damage, in Su Xiao's view, compared to 'dealing True Damage equal to the enemy's lost mana × 2.1,' the subsequent 4700 points were nothing.
Su Xiao's Cyan Steel Shadow ability burns 657 points of the enemy's mana per slash. Of course, mana is just the skill description's term. In actual combat, Su Xiao has never encountered a body energy that Cyan Steel Shadow couldn't burn; only the amount burned varies, but the difference between upper and lower limits is within 10 points.
After burning mana with one slash, the weapon of any form manifested by Azure Shadow King can deal 657 × 2.1 True Damage, which is 1380 points of True Damage.
At first glance, this isn't much, similar to the damage dealt by one Cyan Steel Shadow slash. But in battle, when enemies use various abilities, they consume body energy. If Su Xiao lands a few more slashes, the power of Azure Shadow King will become astonishingly high.
If the enemy consumes most of their body energy, combined with damage from fighting Su Xiao, they could be instantly killed by Azure Shadow King. This ability can already be called an energy-based execution. Even if it doesn't kill, a follow-up Demon Blade strike is very reliable.
What Su Xiao likes most about Azure Shadow King is that it can construct a weapon of any form, which has great development potential. If, in battle, he constructs a hollow sword, encasing Dragon-Slaying Flash inside, and while slashing, attaches the Demon Blade ability to Dragon-Slaying Flash, it would be Azure Shadow King first, then Cyan Steel Shadow's True Damage, followed by Demon Blade's execution effect.
Theory and practice are, of course, different, but Su Xiao excels at developing his own abilities.
His personal strength enhancement was basically complete. Su Xiao felt he had entered the top tier of the seventh rank, at least in terms of overall strength.
The [Crystal Skull (Bloodline Item)] still hadn't found a buyer. Seventh-rank contractors were all savvy; they knew how poor one becomes after becoming an undead/necromancer.
Su Xiao checked the remaining stay time and decided to go to the Land of All Beings to perfect Blade Dao Sword: Flow. Once this move was fully developed, it would be another means of killing enemies.
Leaving his exclusive room, Su Xiao had just arrived at the main entrance of the Trial Grounds when a somewhat familiar figure appeared.
"You really, would come, here."
Without looking at the person, Su Xiao knew who it was from the speaking pace: the witch of the Traveling Group.
"Something?"
"Gulu feels, you might prefer, someone more voluptuous. She's been bothering me, giving me a headache, so I..."
After waiting over ten seconds, the witch finished speaking.
"50% more expensive. If she agrees, tell her to come find me."
"Well done~"
The witch walked away with a smile. It had to be said, selling the Night Walker Set to Gulu was the best choice at the moment. It wasn't that the set was bad, but it was too expensive. Among the assassination-type contractors Su Xiao knew, no one could afford it. Selling it to a black merchant or other guild would yield 60% less profit.
[You have arrived at the Trial Grounds.]
[The Land of All Beings, Fifth Layer, has been opened. Cost: 3 Soul Coins per hour.]
Paying 81 Soul Coins, Su Xiao obtained 27 hours of access to the Land of All Beings, Fifth Layer.
The teleportation sensation faded. Su Xiao stood in the spreading wind and snow, suddenly slashing out once. Training began.
After 26 hours and 57 minutes, white vapor rose from Su Xiao's body. He rested for a moment before he could move his steps. Perfecting 'Blade Dao Sword: Flow' was not simple, but the progress was gratifying; it wouldn't be long before the development was fully complete.
[The stay limit in Reincarnation Paradise has been reached. You will soon return to the Real World.]
Before Su Xiao could leave the Land of All Beings, he was directly teleported back to the Real World from within.
Life in the Real World was as peaceful as ever. This peace was actually normal. In the Real World, Su Xiao didn't provoke others, nor did he go out much. His relaxation time wasn't long, so he naturally didn't wander around.
On the first floor of the accessory shop, a hot pot was boiling. A wisp of steam rose, making the nearby windows and glass doors foggy white.
"Phew, awesome!"
After drinking over a dozen cans of beer, the slightly tipsy Feng Shui Master, Fatty Ma, let out a long breath and patted his big belly. Eating hot pot in this weather was indeed a very enjoyable pleasure.
Across from Fatty Ma, Su Xiao was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, shirtless, holding a tablet computer to tackle a puzzle game.
"Su Xiao, have you noticed anything off around here lately?"
"What?"
Su Xiao paused his actions. Occasionally, contractors would come near his accessory shop.
"The day before yesterday, my house had a thief. Damn it, they stole two stacks of my ghost money. After taking the ghost money, they ran like hell. You should also watch out for thieves recently."
Fatty Ma recalled the scene from the surveillance footage and laughed uncontrollably.
"There won't be any thieves here."
Su Xiao continued with the puzzle game. Hearing this, Fatty Ma looked at the decorations on the counter.
"Yeah, I think so too. As long as the thief isn't an idiot, they won't come to your place. I'm off, thanks for the meal."
Fatty Ma, walking in a crooked line, left, even helping Su Xiao pull down the rolling shutter door and telling Bubu Wang not to see him off.
In the next few days, Su Xiao planned to do nothing. This return to Reincarnation Paradise had significantly boosted his strength. He intended to adjust his state and then use [Elder's Letter of Recommendation] to check out the ??? world.
The peaceful and tranquil stay in the Real World passed in the blink of an eye. As the setting sun fell, Su Xiao received a notification from Reincarnation Paradise.
[A new world is about to open. The Hunter will soon return to Reincarnation Paradise.]
Caught a Cold
This mosquito's physique is quite plastic. It's cold and I caught a cold. I'm lying in bed feeling dizzy. I'll take some medicine and sleep for a while. Tomorrow, I'll strive to be full of vitality and then start a new world. This might be the most unique type of world. From the introduction of [Elder's Letter of Recommendation], dear readers can also see some hints.
Take medicine, wrap in a quilt, sleep. Good night, everyone.
