Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018

After testing, the Sea Serpent Tower could fire continuous high-speed water cannons and had a strong locking mechanism. Without special abilities, not even a tier 5 warrior might be a match for a single Sea Serpent Tower.

Having constructed so many Sea Serpent Towers along the coast, Du You should be quite safe in the east of Yalan Continent.

Until now, Du You had finally achieved a high level of security in his own territory.

Two days later, intel personnel found him and handed him a box. "Finally found them, pity there are only two," said Lin Yushi, looking at the skill stones inside the box.

"Having two is already very good, especially since my requirements were too high. Think about what other skills you need; having such a big company and not using it would be a waste," said Du You, unconcerned.

Indeed, the skills delivered this time were what Du You had always wanted, but his initial requirements had been too high. He was not purely a summoning-type profession and couldn’t always play nanny to his Summoned Beasts.

Du You needed to fight and attack on his own, so the skills that enhanced Summoned Beasts should ideally be passive types that did not require active use. Such skills were extremely precious and rarely made available for sale.

Even if someone didn’t need them, they generally kept them within the organization or simply turned them into family heirlooms, to be used by future summoning-type individuals in their lineage.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken his thriving new company so long to gather just two. Du You was not short on Crystal Coins and did not think twice about learning both skills immediately.

Moon God’s Blessing: Increases all basic attributes of Summoned Beasts by 2% per level, with an additional 10% under moonlight. (30 tier, 10 stars)

Dark Spirit Armor: Dark Attribute Summons will form a layer of Dark Attribute armor on their surface, providing armor defense of (tier + tier) and accelerating the recovery speed of Dark Magic Power. The armor possess corrosive abilities. (30 tier, 10 stars)

Only after upgrading the skills to 10-star tier did Du You look at the new enhancements. "These skills are truly exceptional; I wonder where they found them. I must reward them well later on."

Du You was very satisfied with the new skills. Although not very useful to him now since they were only at tier 30 and unevolved, the enhancements they offered to his Summoned Beasts were minimal.

However, Du You still saw the potential; considering his Wild Spirit, which only increased speed and attack, was enhanced by 1% per level after evolution. Moon God’s Blessing was incredible, improving all basic attributes by 2% per level without evolution, and any further enhancement would be a significant help.

Moreover, the 10% base attribute increase under moonlight could be highly beneficial in specific environments.

Dark Spirit Armor also directly boosted defensive power and included his Dark Magic Power recovery speed. Aside from his Purple Lightning Golden Hawk, his other pets could all benefit from Dark Spirit Armor.

And the corrosive ability that came with Dark Spirit Armor was even more effective, serving as a skill to clear out lesser creatures. This power was ineffective against formidable creatures, but against numerous lesser ones, it was divine.

From now on, his Summoned Beasts were almost immune to the fears of large-scale warfare.

Of course, this corrosive ability was only effective against melee and physical attack types at close range. If it were a long-range magic attack, the corrosive ability’s effectiveness would be significantly limited.

Happy with the new skill setup, Du You wished he could find the materials for advancing them right away. It took him a long time to calm down. Next, he would continue waiting.

A few days later, Lin Yucha’s whirlpool arrow skill finally finished evolving.

Whirlpool Arrow: On impact, a divinity Feng Shui whirlpool forms at the arrow’s impact point, drawing nearby targets in. The whirlpool possesses a strong corrosive nature. When deployed in a marine environment, the skill gains a power boost from oceanic forces, doubling its strength. (36 tier, 9 stars)

"The description doesn’t seem much different, but the term ’divinity’ shouldn’t be underestimated. Double the power under marine conditions is certainly a nice enhancement, though we rarely fight in such environments," Du You analyzed while speaking.

During the skill’s evolution, Lin Yucha also experienced a slight mutation. A stream of water coiled around her body, seemingly related to that divine oceanic power.

However, over time, that power gradually transformed into golden water currents, disappearing into Lin Yucha’s body. Afterwards, no matter how much she searched, Lin Yucha could not find any trace of it on herself.

"Let’s test it. Attack in that direction," Du You said, pointing. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁

Lin Yucha nodded, drew an arrow, and shot it towards the opposite side using a normal arrow to make testing easier. The arrow quickly landed on the ground, and a whirlpool formed in the void above.

A ferocious wind howled as the three-meter-wide golden whirlpool spun rapidly. Everything nearby was drawn towards the center, whether it was large trees or stones, everything within a wide range was eventually sucked into the whirlpool. The whirlpool grew smaller, its condensed power becoming increasingly intense as it seemed almost ready to explode.

Just at that moment, with a "bang," the whirlpool emitted a muffled sound but did not explode. Instead, it dissipated, and the objects that had been pulled into it had vanished, never to be found again.

"An inward explosion, a terrifying attack effect—that’s the power of a divine attack," Du You exclaimed, his eyes wide. Although it looked unimpressive, Du You knew what it was. An outward explosion might seem spectacular, but the previous muffled sound equated to an explosion confined in a tight space, making it even more terrifying.

The objects drawn into it were gone, not vanishing but pulverized into particles, which, along with the light, dispersed into the wind. This attacking power, in some ways, was even more powerful than Spiral Snipe.

Of course, limited by the speed of the skill’s own arrows, this skill was still not as useful as Spiral Snipe. Nonetheless, whether for attacking a large number of enemies or for breaking through armor, Whirlpool Arrow was a powerful skill.

"It uses quite a bit of energy, so I can’t use it many times in succession, but using it occasionally is still no problem," suddenly Lin Yucha spoke up, indicating that the skill’s increased power came with greater energy consumption, an unavoidable issue. She was quite lucky as the Eye of the Death God’s energy consumption had decreased.
