Chapter 1082: Chapter 1082

With Du You’s advancement, the two sisters and the Unicorn Bubble also advanced to tier five, now all adapting to their new strength. The increase in power was significant, and although it happened naturally, it wasn’t something they could instantly adjust to.

Du You let out a sigh of relief, recalling the difficulties he faced when searching for those advancement materials, which had tormented him greatly.

Now it was better, entering tier five, as expected, meant he could enhance his skill levels without the need for advancement materials. Du You didn’t hesitate to upgrade his skills. As for his own level, he didn’t hesitate either and first advanced to level 43.

Similarly, his skill levels were also upgraded to correspond with his level, and now, the only skills not advanced were his own Moon God’s Blessing and Lin Yushi’s Shock Arrow. However, having reached tier five, advancing skills would require tier five advancement materials. Tier four materials were of no use to him from now on.

This is why beings of high levels have fewer skills. The advancement materials become increasingly difficult to find. It was fine for him as he only had two skills left to advance and, for the time being, no other skills needed advancing.

What made Du You frustrated was that after reaching level 43, if he wanted to continue advancing, he once again encountered a bottleneck. To upgrade his skills, he needed at least ten thousand Crystal Coins for each enhancement.

Ten thousand Crystal Coins was just the base cost; some required twenty thousand, others thirty thousand. The base cost for the sisters’ skills was nine thousand, and the same for Bubble. This was a terrifying expense, and the Crystal Coins he had accumulated before were far from sufficient.

If it were anyone else, they might get stuck at level 43 for who knows how long, perhaps even many years, unable to save enough money. But Du You’s combat power was decent, so he decided he would just have to find some powerful enemies to fight.

And after reaching tier five, his combat power became even stronger. Du You examined his various skills. Since they had not undergone special advancement, there weren’t many changes except for experiencing increased power, becoming more flexible to use. The only noticeable changes on the panel were two skills.

One was the King of Skeletons he had learned just recently. Upon advancing to tier five, the Demonic Flame Skeletons created by the King of Skeletons became level 21. Although it was only a one-level difference, it signified that the upper limit had shifted from the peak of tier two to tier three.

However, subsequent level increases didn’t show any notable change. Du You tested it, and the most significant change was the increase in casting range, followed by a slight decrease in his consumption, nothing too significant.

After all, it wasn’t a combat skill but a war skill. Du You wouldn’t believe it if someone told him it could mass-create high-level monsters over a large area.

The other skill that changed was his Purple Lightning Golden Hawk. Unlike other Summoned Beasts that didn’t gain any new skills but only had increased power in their existing skills, his Purple Lightning Golden Hawk gained a new skill.

Thunder and Lightning Cage: Creates a cage with a high-intensity thunder and lightning to trap the enemy within, inflicting powerful damage.

Du You tested it, and Xiaozi released a purple glow that began to twist upon hitting the target, instantly locking the target within. It looked like a cage, but in reality, it was a layer of light screen, firmly trapping the creature inside. This cage had no blind spots, not even a crack for air.

Xiaozi could use the Thunder and Lightning Cage exclusively to trap enemies, or it could release thunder and lightning to attack.

Even Du You’s other attacks, once inside the cage, would gain a significantly powerful bonus to their lethality. It was a terrifying skill that combined trapping enemies and powerful single-target attacks.

"It’s a pity, the other Summoned Beasts didn’t develop new skills," Du You said as he looked at the others. However, he was pleasantly surprised with Bubble, who had also gained a new skill.

Sun Rain: The pure light of the sun condenses into Holy Flame, punishing evil and descending like raindrops on earth. Attack range: diameter (level*30) meters, double damage against Evil Attribute. (Level 43, 9 stars)

The skill description was simple; it seemed like Holy Flame was falling from heaven. Now, the power of this Holy Flame was no longer confined to Bubble alone but was an attack over a wide area. Although it still targeted Evil Creatures, it had finally become an area-of-effect attack.

Bubble held its head high, with a look of pride and confidence barely visible on its horse-like face.

Du You rolled his eyes, ignoring the timid creature, and turned to look at the sisters’ skills—now also advanced to level 43, significantly increasing their strength. As for the descriptions of their skills, there were no substantial changes.

But Du You knew that the sisters’ current strength was entirely different from before. Previously, they wouldn’t dare fight a normal tier-five entity, but now, Du You believed that typical tier-five beings were no longer a match for him.

However, the actual increase in combat power could only be gauged in battle.

"Our advancement task is complete. Next, we need to find some suitable targets to fight. We can now take on the tier-five Mother Nest we found earlier."

Although the Spiritual Shield had not yet been upgraded beyond level 40, with the Mother Nest crystals, it wouldn’t be far off. Besides, Du You’s Divine Power had increased by a wide margin, so the mental attacks from the Mother Nest wouldn’t have too great an effect on him.

The sisters nodded lightly, and Du You led them back in the direction they had come from. But now, their speed was completely different from before. Despite just breaking through to tier five, the speed of the Platform Floating Clouds had increased by at least tenfold. Other flying abilities likely demonstrated even faster speeds.

"What a pity, the inherent bloodline level is still tier four, and the bonus has been greatly reduced. Next, I should find a way to upgrade the bloodline level," Du You thought to himself.

For his own bloodline advancement, Du You needed to absorb dark power; the same went for his Night Body—they were both major consumers of dark power. The sisters, on the other hand, had it easier as they only needed to kill Evil Creatures.

Perhaps, in this world, the sisters could complete their bloodline advancement. With the bloodline bonus, each of the sisters alone might become stronger than Du You as he currently was—such was the power of bloodlines.

Thus, at tier five, although he wasn’t weak, Du You would still be cautious and avoid provoking others recklessly. Anyone who had reached tier five, as long as they weren’t incredibly foolish, would be no weakling.
