Chapter 890: Chapter 890
Du You patted Elsa on the head, "There, there, don’t be sad, I might be establishing my own city over at Earth pretty soon." What Du You was referring to was the next mission, which might very well be his big opportunity.
"Alright then, I’m going out to find some enemies," Elsa said upon seeing that Du You and the others were going to stay put in this boring place. Not interested in researching advanced skills, she ran towards the edge of the territory.
Du You didn’t mind and just ordered Luo Jia to protect Elsa well before letting her do as she pleased.
As long as they didn’t provoke the Kingdom of Hanhai, the murlocs and such posed no danger. It was good for Elsa to adapt to fighting and to earn some Crystal Coins to improve herself. Du You didn’t have that much time to look after her.
Afterward, Du You continued to evolve his own skills. The strange Picture Ghost was incorporated into his Resentful Souls Domain skill. The compatibility was average, so it took three days.
Resentful Souls Domain: Domain maximum radius level*30 meters, up to level*100 invisible Resentful Souls appear within the domain, piercing enemies. Every piercing takes away a certain amount of life force and Magic Power from the enemy while randomly releasing curses like paralysis, dizziness, chill, fear, pain, weakness, sleep, etc. Enhanced damage to souls. (Level 31, 10 stars)
The name of the skill did not change, but its domain radius and number of ghosts increased. The enhancement of soul damage suggested that this skill had transformed from one that merely cleared out minor monsters to one that could affect powerful creatures.
Du You realized that as long as the creature had not reached the fourth tier and lacked special protective abilities, they would probably not last long after he deployed his domain.
Although it wasn’t an instant process, it was still effective in clearing out lesser monsters. Especially against fourth-tier experts, the effect of the Resentful Souls Domain was even stronger. Once he released his domain, a fourth-tier individual would definitely be greatly affected.
In the end, there were three items left, and he was almost finished. Du You took out the Colorful Feather Weave, corresponding with Lin Yucha’s Dark Vision. This evolution took a little longer than before, over three days.
Elemental Vision: Greatly enhances vision to see through the elemental composition of anything. Ignores environment, illusions, and hiding abilities that are of lower levels than oneself. Increases hit rate and attack power, with a high chance of detecting the enemy’s weakness. (Level 31, 9 stars)
"How does it feel?" Du You asked when the new skill emerged. On the surface, nothing appeared changed.
Lin Yucha widened her eyes and looked around. After a while, she withdrew her gaze. "My vision has improved a lot; I can clearly make out tiny details 0.8 miles away as if they were right in front of me. Also, there are colorful light spots in the air now; I think I can directly see elemental compositions."
After a moment, Lin Yucha continued, "I can clearly see the composition of magic, their weaknesses in structure, and can destroy them with arrows. I can also see the trajectory of spells which makes it easier to dodge. Moreover, I can see different elemental distributions on different people’s bodies. I think this way, I can likely directly see the enemy’s weak points."
"Is that so? Well, you’ll have to train hard." Lin Yucha’s lethality was only going to increase.
"Yes, I won’t let you down, Master. It’s just that I’m not quite used to it yet." A sudden big increase in vision isn’t always comfortable; Lin Yucha was now walking unsteadily and often felt dizzy.
This wasn’t the dizziness of physical discomfort but due to an overload of information from seeing too much.
Du You watched as Lin Yucha went to rest and continued to evolve his skills. He held the rusty spear with extreme care, as if afraid of breaking it by accident, because it was severely rusted.
This spear corresponded to his own Soul Pierce, a special single-target combat skill; Du You did not want any mistakes to occur.
With the Disintegration Spell, coupled with Soul Pierce, he would no longer be passive when fighting alone.
More than two days later, the new skill was completed, its name still unchanged. Updates are released by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵
Soul Pierce: Concentrate Spiritual Power to form a soul spear to pierce the enemy’s soul. Insufficient spiritual power in the target will result in instant death. The soul spear ignores general defense magic and equipment. (Level 31, 10-star)
"Soul Spike has become Soul Pierce, and it now has the added ability to ignore general defense magic and equipment. It will be even harder for enemies to block this move in the future, but I wonder if others have similar skills."
Du You became somewhat vigilant; it seemed he needed to find a way to enhance his advanced skill, Spiritual Shield, as soon as possible. Skills of this soul attack type, other than the Eye of the Death God, could only be countered by such soul defense type skills.
With a wave of his hand, Du You sent a transparent spear that was invisible to anyone but himself flying out in an instant, disappearing into the void. A flying bird suddenly plummeted as if it had fallen asleep mid-air, not at all looking like it had been attacked.
But Du You knew that the bird’s soul had been extinguished; this move was more secretive than before.
"There’s one more thing left to check." Du You took out the Blood-colored mummy he obtained from his territory; this skill corresponded to Lin Yushi’s Tempering Body Spell. Lin Yucha, who also had the Tempering Body Spell, felt no reaction to this mummy.
The same skill on different people evidently required different advancement materials.
This time, the advancement took four days, and Du You wasn’t sure if it was because this skill was an Eastern type skill, leading to a low compatibility. Regardless, he thought it was best to enhance his abilities first before worrying about it.
Blood God Quench Body Spell: Significantly increases strength, agility, constitution, and enhances the rate of stamina recovery as well as vision and control. Effectively increases an archer’s precision. When injured, strength, agility, and attack power increase substantially, with the degree of increase proportional to the severity of the wounds. (Level 31, 9-star)
"Come and test it out." Since the skill was passive, its effects couldn’t be discerned without testing. Lin Yushi, who was already fast, was even faster during the tests, showing immense improvements in all areas.
However, as for the power boost when injured, Du You could not test that; he could not bear to injure Lin Yushi just for the sake of testing.
"It seems this subsequent condition does not hold much value after all, it’s just a useless perk." Since following Du You, Lin Yushi had seldom been injured; this effect was actually more suitable for close-combat Professionals, particularly those who serve as tanks.
Blood Rage Aura coupled with the Blood God Quench Body Spell, it made him feel as if Lin Yushi had taken the wrong path. Du You had a strong sense of déjà vu. Of course, he would not make the mistake of saying this out loud.
