Chapter 845: Chapter 845

The skill "Phantom Continuous Shooting" significantly improved overall. The maximum arrow count shot out was increased by fivefold.

In just a second or two, as long as the bow could withstand it, Lin Yushi managed to shoot 155 arrows in one shot. While it might seem less than the Demon-breaking Scattering, it was far more accurate.

Because the attack of Phantom Continuous Shooting targeted only a few, sometimes even a single target, it now could handle multiple targets simultaneously, reducing the waste of arrow strength.

The inherent increase in accuracy ensured more precise attacks, preventing deviations caused by shooting too quickly. The arrows’ strength was also enhanced. Despite each arrow having only 80% of the original attack strength, the power against one or two targets was much greater than that of the Demon-breaking Scattering, with more concentrated lethality.

Of course, one benefit was that the consumption was significantly lower, which was another issue.

By this point, all the skills had been upgraded.

"I’ve heard that the Giant Rock Fortress has been upgraded to tier four, and we haven’t checked it out these past few days. Now’s a good time to have a look," Lin Yucha suddenly proposed.

With all tasks completed and having nothing else to do, Du You decided to take a look before returning, so he headed to the Giant Rock Fortress with the two sisters. The Giant Rock Fortress had expanded significantly.

The fortress now completely blocked the mouth of the valley, and aside from looking extremely robust, it also carried a regal air. It seemed less like a military fortress and more like a noble’s castle.

After a long period of deductions and enhancements, and mass material investment, the Giant Rock Fortress had finally been successfully upgraded. Not only that, but the fortress now included tier four branches of the armed forces, and he now had two buildings producing tier four armed forces.

Giant Rock Heavily Armed Warrior Level 33: 50 people/per month, full price 40 Yellow Crystal Coins/person

Shadow Shooter Level 35: 50 people/per month, full price 60 Yellow Crystal Coins/person

For now, only these two branches were added, resulting from the branch research room under the Skill Hall. The knight type has yet to be researched. Besides, the tier was somewhat low, primarily because the very nature of the Giant Rock Fortress was lacking.

To elevate the tier of the forces would require the soldiers’ own cultivation and the evolution function of the branch research room. The higher the level, the more severe this became.

Despite this, the foundation of the territory greatly increased. The territory’s inherent tier four military power was increasing, and it was not impossible to eventually surpass the Kingdom of Hanhai over time.

Therefore, Du You did not dare expose these military forces. The Kingdom of Hanhai had already become a significant threat to the Divine Flame Empire; if he appeared too strong, the empire would likely not spare him.

It was said that the Divine Flame Empire had only one tier six, but even one or two tier fives would be more than his territory could handle now. To advance further, he would probably need to wait until his territory had tier five forces.

By then, the empire would definitely acknowledge his status as long as they didn’t want to suffer immense losses. To gradually control this world, Du You still had much to do, but for now, he wanted to forget these concerns.

Directed his attention to his advanced skills, the results lately had also not been bad. With added levels, skill progression had become considerably easier. However, what bothered Du You was that some advanced skills had reached their limits.

Advanced Skills: Advanced Dark Magic Power (Level 29), Spiritual Perception (Level 30, max level), Magic Power Boiling (Level 29), Spiritual Shield (Level 29), Dark Element Affinity (Level 28), Night Body (Level 31), Magic Power Accumulation (Level 30, max level), Magic Power Constancy (Level 29)

The skills he focused on cultivating, Spiritual Perception and Magic Power Accumulation, had reached max level, which was level 30 for these skills. To continue advancing, he would either have to find higher-tier skills or seek similar skills for integration and fusion—as everyone did. However, finding higher-tier advanced skills was even harder than obtaining good common skills.

Usually, individuals would either rely on self-enlightenment or study in the Other World, as these were not skills for which a multitude of learning scrolls helped. Uniquely, Du You found that besides Advanced Dark Magic Power and Dark Element Affinity, his other advanced skills appeared to max out at level 30, reaching their limits already.

Looking at the two sisters’ situation, they were nearly in the same boat.

Advanced Skills: Intermediate Demon Extermination Power (Level 30), Focus (Level 28), Speed Shot (Level 30, max level), Magic Power Accumulation (Level 29), Spiritual Perception (Level 26), Spiritual Shield (Level 26), Lock On (Level 28)

The two sisters also faced the dilemma of maxed-out skills, with tier four proving to be a major headache.

Previously, advancing skills required specific materials. Most advanced skills reached their maximum at this tier, so advancing further was still a matter of personal effort. The sisters faced a more severe situation than himself, aside from Intermediate Demon Extermination Power. After reaching level 30, everything else maxed out, indicating the need for other solutions.

In the end, Du You could only instruct Shaliya to seek higher-tier cultivation methods in this world, pulling them all together. Maybe they would be useful later; it was a precaution.

Truly high-level Cultivation Secret Skills, with Du You’s current status, were not easy to gather. Ordinary methods, which didn’t reach the level 30 cap, were of no use.

Maybe, he would have to look elsewhere. Beyond tier four, the prices of various items continued to increase. With his current wealth, buying complete sets of advanced skills for three people, crystal coins wouldn’t be enough.

Well, he could only take one step at a time. There was still much to be done.

Shaliya’s cultivation hadn’t progressed as quickly; she had only just returned to tier two. It was unclear what Shaliya was thinking, abandoning her previous Mage cultivation and starting to cultivate the Spellcaster profession, previously unheard of in this world.

Thus, Shaliya’s advancement was so slow; otherwise, she would have reached tier three by now.

Luo Jia was even more bizarre, having abandoned his original profession a while ago to start cultivating the Tian Gang Martial Artist, focused on burst power. Du You didn’t understand this decision; he had not hidden this profession’s disadvantages and limits.

But it was their chosen path, so let them walk it. Moving forward, Du You had to conduct the final tests, so taking the two sisters, he summoned a space vortex, leaving this world to return to Earth. Considering the time, there were only a few days left until the final tests, so Du You didn’t plan on visiting other worlds again.
