Chapter 1497: Chapter 1497
Once the requirements were met, Du You checked the structure of his Skill Crystal and, finding no issues, he prepared to upgrade. He knew that once the upgrade was complete, he could no longer modify his Skill Crystal.
The Skill Crystal represents the future of one’s skill; therefore, each step must be perfect.
An imperfect structure could prevent the skill from advancing beyond a certain point, making further improvement difficult. After reaching the seventh tier, one’s own limitations become an even greater obstacle than any previous shackles.
To continuously advance one’s skills, potentially to the eighth or even the ninth tier, one must pay close attention right from the start. Once Du You confirmed there were no problems, he began to burn Crystal Coins.
With ten Crystal Coins merged, Du You’s skill level started to rise, quickly reaching level 61.
Upon opening his panel, Du You found the changes were just as he expected; the entire skill had undergone a transformation.
Shadow Spirit Light Ball: Dark Yuan Power coalesces into a light ball to attack enemies at range. The Shadow Spirit Light Ball possesses both dark element attacks and soul attacks, enhancing its own Law damage and ignoring non-Law defenses. Shadow Spirit Light Balls carry additional Shadow Light Balls when striking, with the attack power of Shadow Light Balls being 1/10th of the main ball, and the number equalling the level x 1. Shadow Light Balls do not enhance Law damage. After an attack, residual forces of Anyin corrosion cause sustained damage. (Level 61, 10 stars)
A significant change occurred in the skill description. The original aggregation of dark elements has now become Dark Yuan Power.
The prior accompanying rule damage has disappeared, or rather, rule damage has been elevated to the level of Law damage. Thus, the accompanying rule damage has become enhanced Law damage.
Do not underestimate such a change; it has significantly increased the power of this skill.
On the surface, it is skill damage at level 61, but with the added damage, the actual damage could well reach levels 62 or even 63. Beyond the seventh tier, each increase in level becomes incredibly formidable.
As of now, Du You does not know how many levels he can challenge, but it definitely won’t be too many.
It’s impossible to contend with later-stage powerhouses based on early-stage strength as before.
However, with this skill, Du You at least has some confidence when going up against level 63 Professionals. As he acquires more and more skills, his combat capabilities will naturally become stronger.
As for the ability to ignore non-Law defenses, it is basically ineffective now.
Because all conventional defenses are virtually powerless against Law attacks, this enhancement doesn’t add much. Anyone who could wield Law force to attack would surely be of the seventh tier or higher.
Those above the seventh tier would certainly have defences infused with Law force, even if simply instinctual.
The skill’s inclusion of Shadow Ball strikes remains unchanged, with both the number and attack ratio staying the same. Although these Shadow Balls also have Law attack effects, they do not bolster Law attack power.
But after careful calculation, the actual attack power of these Shadow Balls isn’t much stronger than the Shadow Spirit Light Ball itself. Against enemies with strong defenses, the effect of these attacks might even be weaker than that of the main attack. Nonetheless, it still provides a substantial enhancement to this attack, making for a very good effect.
The last added ability is the corrosive damage from Anyin forces, which seems to be more of a supplementary effect.
The main purpose is to disrupt the target’s physical defense and weaken their strength. Of course, if wounds can be inflicted, the Anyin forces also hinder the healing of those wounds.
However, Du You doesn’t place much importance on this; he has always favored directly dispatching enemies rather than dragging out battles. But an extra effect is always better than none.
During Du You’s experiments, he discovered that the usage of the skill had become much smoother.
He can now split into more Shadow Spirit Light Balls and control them to fly along various paths in the air, easily targeting the enemy and preventing wasted attacks.
Du You even found that different Shadow Spirit Light Balls could freely merge in the air to strengthen their attacks or split into several to deal with ordinary targets.
If he detonates the Shadow Spirit Light Ball proactively, it will cover a large area nearby.
Within this area, it would be difficult for those of the third tier and below to withstand. It’s not that Du You doesn’t want stronger attacks; it’s just that this kind of attack is inherently . So, this effect is basically unusable.
Du You also discovered that the intensity of his Shadow Spirit Light Balls is very high, and he could easily create a large one to rotate around himself as a defense. This indirectly equates to a defensive skill.
With no other choice, having just broken through to the seventh tier and with no other skills to assist, Du You could only resort to this method for now. This update ıs available on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝗂𝗋𝖾⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥
To repurpose a skill in multiple ways is not something Du You invented alone; all Professionals do the same.
They lack the extensive and comprehensive skills that Du You has, so the more variations they can play with a single skill, the greater the increase in strength. This heavily tests the versatility of the skill itself and the creativity of the Professional.
"Flame Giant, come to me," Du You ordered, and the Flame Giant appeared nearby.
The Flame Giant was no longer the hundred-meter-tall being he had been before; he had voluntarily shrunk down to the size of an ordinary person. After putting on clothes, if not examined closely, he appeared almost indistinguishable from a normal person.
"Master, are you preparing to fight now?"
Du You nodded: "Yes, I’m ready to move against them. You help me hold the line first. But remember, only intervene if my life is in danger, otherwise, do not assist," Du You said solemnly.
"Don’t worry, Master, I understand," the highly intelligent Flame Giant king knew what Du You meant. He had his own judgment standards and would act to assist Du You if danger arose, even if Du You disallowed it.
"Alright, now tell me the location of the Desert Death God. We shall go find him first."
The time for revenge had arrived; the curse that the Desert Death God had placed on him, as well as the continual manipulation of the Sandpeople against him, it was time to settle this once and for all.
"Please follow me, Master, he’s over there," said the Flame Giant king, darting away in a flash. He left a special trace for Du You to follow, a common tactic used by Divine Spirit beings.
Du You immediately followed the trace and shortly arrived at the desert. With his breakthrough, his speed had also increased.
