Among the four ‘class change’ directions, Su Xiao chose the fourth, 「Energy Manipulation Grandmaster」. It wasn’t that this branch was particularly strong; rather, the other three ‘class changes’ were too far removed from his combat system.
As for continuing to develop the Firearm Grandmaster, for Su Xiao, being able to use some high-power sniper cannons was sufficient. He wasn’t aiming to develop in that direction, but rather to use it to compensate for the shortcomings of ultra-long-range attacks.
Although he had now ‘changed class’, the bonuses and characteristics brought by the Firearm Grandmaster were frozen at Lv.39. It wasn’t that his ability to use firearms had disappeared.
Su Xiao estimated that, except for those particularly specialized supernatural sniper rifles, he could still use most other sniper rifles and sniper cannons.
Checking the newly acquired 「Energy Manipulation Grandmaster·Lv.40」 ability, Su Xiao learned its full scope. This ability wasn’t solely for combat; it provided bonuses to many of his other abilities.
For example, the control precision of Spirit Shadow Thread, the release speed of Cyan Steel Shadow Energy, the formation speed of the Crystal Layer, and the manipulation, shaping, compression, and materialization of Blood Qi. The 「Energy Manipulation Grandmaster·Lv.40」 ability could enhance all of these.
Sensing the changes within his body, Su Xiao was very satisfied with this improvement. He attempted to upgrade 「Energy Manipulation Grandmaster·Lv.40」, determined the upgrade cost, and chose to raise it by 10 levels, consuming a total of 300 Soul Crystals (Complete) and 7,000,000 Paradise Coins.
All the Soul Crystals around Su Xiao shattered, and a vast amount of pure soul energy surged into his body, altering and strengthening his internal meridians.
For the first few seconds, Su Xiao remained calm, but after a while, he realized things weren’t so simple. This feeling was similar to when he had first awakened Azure Shadow King.
Su Xiao felt as if he was about to be devoured by the excruciating pain spreading throughout his body. The blood vessels on his body throbbed and pulsed, and every inch of his flesh and every cell seemed to be letting out a wail.
Half an hour later, sweat dripped from Su Xiao’s chin as he let out a long sigh. The upgrade of 「Energy Manipulation Grandmaster」 was finally complete. Seeing the prompt that appeared, he was momentarily stunned.
[Reminder: Energy Manipulation Grandmaster is a transitional ability stage. You must choose one of the following two development directions for long-term accumulation and improvement.]
