Chapter 844: Chapter 844
"Yu Shi, it’s your turn now. With four advancement materials plus your original fourth-tier skill, you’ll have five fourth-tier skills," they hadn’t expected that they could advance so quickly.
"I’m also looking forward to it, I’m starting now," Lin Yushi stepped forward and approached the entrance of the Skill Hall.
Indeed, after this enhancement, Lin Yucha would have six fourth-tier skills while Lin Yushi would have five. This number of fourth-tier skills was considerable even among fourth-tier Professionals.
And for those who had just advanced to the fourth tier, such a number of skills was probably unprecedented.
This was something that couldn’t be achieved merely by relying on family power. The advancement materials were entirely a matter of luck.
It was possible that someone could casually encounter several of the advancement materials suitable for them. It was also possible that despite a family’s support and the pursuit of many materials, they could end up with nothing. All these were possibilities.
No one knew any underlying patterns to this—it was a fact.
Lin Yushi placed her battle boots and her Rapid Run into the Skill Hall, wanting to see how her and her sister’s Rapid Run evolved and what differences the skills would exhibit. But the timing was almost the same—both took two days.
Two days later, the new skill appeared before the three of them.
Quick Dance Steps: Increases running speed, each level adds 2.5%, activating it instantly doubles the speed, the longer it lasts, the greater the self-inflicted strain, increasing the required recovery time. (Level 31, 9-star)
"The speed increase is the same, both of you have similar speeds usually, but the focus is different. Yucha’s focus is on stealth, making it hard to detect, yours is on additional effects, allowing bursts of greater speed,"
After Lin Yushi’s trial, Du You understood that after a burst of speed, Lin Yushi seemed like a phantom. His Spiritual Perception could keep up, but it was impossible for normal skills to lock onto her.
This kind of speed was extremely effective on the battlefield, whether in pursuing enemies or fleeing.
Unfortunately, the burst duration was not very long. With Lin Yushi’s current ability, she could burst for up to a minute, then she would enter a state of extreme weakness. The best way to use it was to burst for five to ten seconds at critical moments. After the burst, she would barely feel weak and could use it continuously after a minute or two.
"This skill from now on can only be managed by you alone, don’t be reckless. Although it’s powerful, one wrong use can easily put you in danger,"
"Don’t worry, Master, I’m not clueless," Lin Yushi was smart and knew how to utilize her skills.
Next, Lin Yushi placed a black arrow into the Skill Hall, this time corresponding to the Hell Blood Demon Thunder. This skill was also a passive one, significantly boosting her overall abilities.
Hell Blood Demon Thunder: Passive skill, each attack carries with it blood-red Thunder from Hell, causing absolute damage equal to the level to organisms. (Level 31, 9-star)
Two days later, the new skill was formed and Du You, looking at this skill, found that the description hadn’t changed much. Only an additional absolute damage effect on organisms confused him somewhat.
Yet, after experimenting, Du You found it to be a divine skill. Absolute damage meant ignoring all sorts of defense resistances, unless it was directly blocked by a skill, once it contacted the target, this absolute damage was irrefutable and unmitigated.
Especially against organisms, although the damage was not very strong, it could not be ignored and could continually accumulate.
Even for very powerful organisms, being hit repeatedly would lead to death from the cumulative damage. And for weaker creatures, faced with this absolute damage, it was almost like wiping them out massively, no logic could explain it. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
Of course, if one were to challenge beyond their tier, the effect might seem weak, but it wasn’t ineffective.
"Very good, very impressive, this skill can strengthen all your skills. If later the Lightning Arrow is also enhanced, the effect will be even stronger. Let’s continue," Du You said to a clearly delighted Lin Yushi.
Lin Yushi nodded, then took out a seed, merging her Bloodsucking Demon Vines into it. This skill was her first control skill and had helped her a lot. But later, it gradually became redundant. Facing any enemy, just attacking aggressively was sufficient, there was no need for control, making this type of control skill seem useless.
But Lin Yushi knew these skills were not useless, it was just that she hadn’t had the need to use them yet—they could be very strong when needed. Now, she hoped this skill could perform better.
Fourth-tier skills would always undergo some qualitative change. After inserting it, the next step was waiting.
Swallowing Demon Vine: After the arrow hits the target, it summons Swallowing Demon Vines that entangle and devour the enemy. Devouring corpses will promote the growth of more Swallowing Demon Vines. The number and level of Demon Vines increase with level, and all summoned Magic Vines will dissipate after one day. (Level 31, 9-star)
The new skill description became very impressive, no longer just bloodsucking but direct devouring.
After Lin Yushi summoned a Swallowing Demon Vine, Du You saw that these vine’s thicker than a human and covered in spikes had not lost their bloodsucking ability, but rather, it was enhanced.
The vine, more snake-like than vine-like, had many buds. Du You let one of the buds open and saw the thick, tough inside walls of the bud, all covered in tiny teeth, sharp as razors.
These teeth were very sharp, capable of bloodsucking, and the flowers secreted a special viscous fluid that could paralyze the prey and cause a strong corrosive effect. After devouring the prey, it could digest quickly.
This method of digesting and increasing in number was somewhat similar to his Putrid Insect Mist, but completely different.
"If used against small troops, this can be considered a clearing skill," Du You nodded and said.
"Even against the formidable ones it’s not weak, this skill was initially a control skill, not meant for combat, though now it has the capability for combat," Lin Yushi still knew the skill’s intended use.
"Alright, the last skill now, that peculiar bow, put it in,"
Lin Yushi nodded her small head, placing the green bow inside, blending in her Phantom Continuous Shooting. Several days later, the new skill was formed.
Phantom Continuous Shooting: In an extremely short time, strikes continuously at one or multiple targets, shooting arrows with a maximum number of (level*5), each arrow’s attack power being 80% of the original, arrows come with certain tracking capabilities (Level 31, 9-star)
