Chapter 133: Skill Class Change
The email was successfully sent, and Caesar hadn't replied yet. Su Xiao closed the [Random Draw Permission] through his brand, and the spinning wheel before him disappeared. He would wait for Caesar's news before deciding how to proceed.
Su Xiao estimated that even Caesar wouldn't have much room to maneuver in this matter. After all, this was a permission notarized by the Paradise, different from the reputation shops within the Primordial World.
He'd treat it as a lottery draw. If Caesar could work something out from it, Su Xiao wouldn't mind paying a hefty reward.
The [Inscription Base] was too difficult to obtain. Even the worst 3-slot Inscription Base was priceless and unobtainable. In this regard, Su Xiao had contacted the black market merchants and also the Shadow Merchant Guild.
Both parties had the same attitude: if he wanted to buy, they had no stock; if he wanted to sell, the price was negotiable. No matter how poor the quality of the Inscription Base, both guilds would accept it.
Dragon-Slaying Flash still needed some time to complete its enhancement. The newly acquired silver-white Origin Stone was also in the adaptation phase, so its attributes couldn't be viewed yet.
Seeing this, Su Xiao left his Exclusive Room and headed straight for the Skill Upgrade Hall. This time, he had sufficient funds, and the Spear Grandmaster ability finally had a chance to undergo a "class change."
Arriving at the Skill Upgrade Hall, Su Xiao noticed that more people were entering than usual. Many were newcomers, which meant the low-rank scene would likely be lively soon.
Reaching the innermost area, Su Xiao entered a Skill Upgrade Pod, and the door behind him closed and locked.
[Skill Upgrade Pod No. 1605 has been activated. Please select the skill you wish to upgrade.]
Su Xiao chose to upgrade Technique Sublimation first. This ability had the highest upgrade cost, requiring 6,000 Soul Coins per level. The current Technique Sublimation was at Lv.65. Su Xiao chose to upgrade it five consecutive times, pushing it to Lv.70. He would temporarily stop upgrading this ability afterward—it was too expensive.
30,000 Soul Coins vanished in the next second. The "security consultation fees" he had extorted... ahem, obtained from Molei and Yueshitu were basically spent.
The Skill Upgrade Pod began operating. Su Xiao felt as if he was rapidly moving backward. Scenes of battles between powerful beings flashed before his eyes, but they all passed in an instant.
It felt like a few seconds, or perhaps a few years. A sharp pain struck Su Xiao's mind as an overwhelming amount of blade technique memories, too much for his brain to process, flooded in. He was familiar with this sensation from frequently deciphering the Alchemy Codex, so he adapted after a short while, gradually "digesting" these blade technique memories—or rather, directly obtaining numerous insights.
[Technique Sublimation has been upgraded to Lv.70.]
[Technique Sublimation: Lv.70 (Technique Type · Passive)]
Skill Effect 1: Increases the power of self-developed blade techniques by 173% (increased by 20%).
Skill Effect 2: Blade technique potential rank +10 (increased by 1 rank).
Skill Effect 3: Base · Neural Reflex Speed +100 points (increased by 25 points), Base · Dynamic Vision +100 points (increased by 25 points).
...
Closing the attributes of Technique Sublimation, Su Xiao checked the Spear Grandmaster. The current Spear Grandmaster was at Lv.34. He had a large number of Soul Crystals (Complete) on hand, so without hesitation, he decided to push it to Lv.40 first.
Su Xiao took out 90 Soul Crystals, all of which shattered, transforming into a stream of pure energy that merged into his body. He immediately felt his Cyan Steel Shadow Energy and Blood Qi being mobilized.
