Chapter 1621: Chapter 1621

When Du You turned around, he saw the skill advancements of the two sisters and couldn’t help but laugh. "So, it turns out your skills have advanced even more." The two sisters had unknowingly each advanced three skills.

"Of course! We’re not lagging behind. Besides, Master, you’ve been busy all this time and haven’t had the chance to improve your skills, so it’s perfectly normal. We’ve had way more time," Lin Yushi said with a chuckle, looking at Du You.

Indeed, Du You had been busy recently, but since there was no danger or need for combat, the two sisters didn’t follow him. As a result, they’d spent their time honing and improving, while Du You had squandered quite a bit of time. This time, he had only advanced one skill, while one Summoned Beast advanced automatically.

The two sisters, however, had solidly advanced three skills each.

Even if one’s aptitude is poor, having ample time can make up for everything.

Lin Yucha’s advanced skills were Whirlpool Arrow, Secret Dance, and Piercing.

Whirlpool Arrow: Upon hitting a target, an arrow creates a vortex at the point of impact governed by the Law, pulling in surrounding targets. The vortex is highly corrosive. When used in a marine environment, the skill receives a 30% power boost from oceanic forces. In regions rich with Law energy, its potency gradually increases. It includes the ability to destabilize opposing Laws. (Level 64, 9 stars)

Whirlpool Arrow was previously one of Lin Yushi’s most formidable attack skills. For single-target attacks, she primarily relied on Spiral Snipe, while for area attacks, this skill had been her go-to.

Conversely, although Explosive Poison Snipe was decent, it was mostly relegated to a support role. The skill’s effects were far too slow, and its highly niche utility, limited to toxins, didn’t align with Lin Yucha’s fighting style.

Having spent time with Du You, Lin Yucha had also grown to dislike prolonged battles. She preferred quick resolutions—and now, she wasn’t lacking in area attack options anymore.

The current version of Whirlpool Arrow has adjustable vortex size. At its minimum, the vortex can be compressed to the size of a fist, targeting a single opponent. At its maximum, it could engulf an entire small asteroid—not a negligible range. Naturally, the larger the scope, the weaker the effect, which presents its own challenges.

Previously, it created a vortex governed by Feng Shui, but now it uses the Laws—a change in form that yields entirely unparalleled results.

When used in a marine environment, its power still increases, but rather than doubling the effect as before, the enhancement reduces to about 30%. This is because the earlier skills were based on the combined rules of Feng Shui, whereas now it depends directly on the power of Laws.

In typical marine settings, such potent boosts are rarely achieved. In smaller or less dynamic oceans, there may even be no noticeable enhancement at all.

This not only depends on the size of the ocean but also on the Laws inherent in the world at large.

When used in areas dense with Law energy, the effect becomes exponentially stronger due to the greater engagement of the surrounding Laws. In such cases, it might surpass marine enhancements, although these outcomes depend largely on real-world combat scenarios.

Lastly, the destructive destabilization of opposing Laws adds significant power when targeting enemies above Tier 7, primarily affecting their defensive skills.

If used against offensive skills, it can disrupt enemy magic as well.

Secret Dance: Increased movement speed by 2.5% per level. In special hiding conditions, speed remains unaffected. Special effect: Silent and seamless. Strongly resists various detection skills. (Level 64, 9 stars)

The second advanced skill was Secret Dance, whose description hadn’t changed much. However, for skills like these, the enhancement results tend to be terrifying due to their passive nature.

The boosted speed is much greater now than before, as the percentage remains unchanged, but Lin Yucha’s overall speed has increased significantly.

While employing various stealth skills, her movement speed remains unaffected. With her speed fully unleashed, Du You found that he could no longer catch up with her. Despite having superior essence, he couldn’t overlook the disparity between their professions and skill sets.

Of course, if he expanded his wings for flight, he could still achieve impressive speed.

But once the two sisters advance their bloodline, Du You suspects that his speed would truly fall behind by then.

Additionally, the silent and seamless feature of Secret Dance isn’t limited to sound suppression anymore—it now actively hides her aura. When she moves quickly, it often causes others to overlook her presence completely.

For an Assassin, this advancement is a tremendous improvement.

The new ability added is its strong resistance to scouting skills. Using his Spiritual Perception, Du You found it extremely difficult to detect her presence when Lin Yucha was moving swiftly—or perhaps her skill was influencing him to unconsciously ignore her.

Even trying to focus became challenging, evidently due to the inherent effects of the skill itself.

While this skill may lack a direct explosive power, its overall improvements make it far more effective than many other abilities. No matter the time or scenario, this skill remains consistently invaluable, layering synergistically with other abilities.

Piercing: Passive skill. God Destroying Power forms a sharp divine power layer on the surface of arrows, greatly enhancing their penetration capability. It can effectively pierce through barriers imbued with various Laws. (Level 64, 9 stars)

The last skill she advanced was another passive ability, directly boosting her arrow’s penetration power to terrifying levels. When tested by Du You, the results were indeed alarming. Combined with God Destroying Arrow and other passive skills, the effect was monstrous.

Previously unaffected by Du You’s Yuan Power Shield, Lin Yucha’s most powerful attack can now cause fractures in it. Of course, this is due to the significant disparity between the two.

Once Lin Yucha advances her bloodline, Du You is certain that his Yuan Power Shield would no longer hold up.

On the same level, either of the sisters alone already possesses the ability to threaten Du You, making him both proud and cautious. He doesn’t believe others wouldn’t achieve similar feats, so he must continue improving his own strength.

If it weren’t for his layered shields, Lin Yucha alone might already pose a serious threat to his life. However, with those shields stacked together, even a sneak attack would fail to harm him significantly.

With these three skills advancing, Lin Yucha’s strength silently surged forward, turning her into someone incomparable to her previous self. This is the terrifying effect of passive ability enhancements. Du You turned his gaze toward Lin Yushi.
