Chapter 1109: Chapter 69: Tang Haofei Takes Action
The skill description is unchanged from before, but the effects are indeed different, and the difference is quite significant.
The key lies in the "exponential growth" of Ultra Mortal Combat... As for the specific exponent, Wen Yu couldn’t calculate a model, but the effects can still be felt—an amplification of approximately three times what it used to be.
This will do...
The truth is, anyone who uses the Ultra Mortal Combat ability will understand it. Wen Yu always thought the rating of Ultra Mortal Combat was a bit low. This time, it’s been upgraded from SSS-Class to Esoteric Level, and even though no additional effects were produced, the enhancement of the basic effects is already quite satisfactory to Wen Yu.
Yes, the pass rate for hard mode is already at ninety-nine percent...
The remaining last skill upgrade scroll, however, puts Wen Yu in a dilemma.
The choices are just too many...
After much deliberation, Wen Yu finally decided to allocate the last spot to Dragon Blood Amplification (SSS-Class, Active Ability).
To enhance one’s basic physical qualities and at the same time form a skill combo with Ultra Mortal Combat, well, it’s considered a fairly standard choice.
Accompanied by the final Esoteric Level skill upgrade scroll taking effect, Dragon Blood Amplification immediately welcomed a transformation.
Dragon Blood Amplification (Species-specific Esoteric Level, Active Ability): Burn the blood within the body to amplify all skill effects and physical qualities! It can be voluntarily stopped after activation. During the skill’s effect, the burning blood will disperse around the host’s body, forming a Boiling Blood Domain, which varies in size and intensity according to the host’s power.
Boiling Blood Domain: All life forms entering this domain, other than the host, will experience a boiling blood effect where their blood burns at an incredibly fast rate, simultaneously inflicting damage on enemies while indirectly reducing their physical qualities, reaction speed, perception ability, and judgment ability.
Seeing the new Dragon Blood Amplification, Wen Yu’s eyes shone with excitement.
It’s inevitable that the original effect becomes enhanced, and more marvelously, the newly appeared Boiling Blood Domain. Wen Yu’s gaze suddenly swept over the words "inflict damage on enemies," instantly understanding that the new Dragon Blood Amplification is undoubtedly the greatest gain this time...
The fact that Boiling Blood Domain can inflict damage on enemies implies the activation of Soul Strike, and "incredibly fast speed" signifies attack frequency. Coincidentally, the current Soul Strike can achieve full effect at a hundred percent! It lacks only attack frequency!
Just imagining, Wen Yu could foresee the combined terror of Soul Strike and Boiling Blood Domain wreaking havoc on the enemies!
Within the Boiling Blood Domain, all creatures experience extremely fast attack frequency from Soul Strike, coupled with Wen Yu’s Soul Strength, such a scene is spectacular! Adding Wen Yu’s own abilities such as Concealment, Teleportation, and others, merely a thought of it, and Wen Yu develops countless tactical systems centered around Soul Strike and Dragon Blood Amplification.
No way around it, having many skills results in many tactics as well.
With a simple mental simulation of utilizing the new skills, followed by simulating a battle with Tang Haofei, Wen Yu finally opened his eyes after a while...
This time, hard mode should be secured, even in Hell difficulty, Wen Yu is confident enough to give it a shot.
What’s the big deal! Who’s afraid? Already not too bright, living off just one’s own strength, if overwhelmed, then being taken out by Dominator is deserved...
"Master, the harvest of Star of Africa for this month has been delivered."
At this moment, Mountain Kui’s voice sounded from outside.
"Bring it in."
After Wen Yu spoke, Mountain Kui walked into the Soul Experiment Lab, followed by a group of Mountain Kui tribe members carrying a massive number of Soul Crystal stones and dozens of Corpse Fruits.
"So many?"
Wen Yu was somewhat surprised. It was not technically the monthly settlement day, yet the items Mountain Kui delivered exceeded last month’s total revenue from Star of Africa by a large margin.
"Recently, there have been some movements from Demon Fiends."
Mountain Kui succinctly conveyed the message, although Wen Yu was too absorbed in "small matters" like these to give them his attention now.
Mountain Kui directed his tribe members to neatly arrange the Soul Crystal stones and Corpse Fruits and then left, leaving Wen Yu to behold the floor covered in Soul Crystal stones.
Next comes the monthly meditative seclusion. Though not all these Soul Crystal stones could be absorbed in three days, every bit of enhancement counts. Now, apart from the soon-to-come Sequence Member-Ranking Battle, nothing else concerns Wen Yu.
Other than life and death, there are no significant matters.
...
"Welcome to the government skills store of Star of Africa, esteemed sir, what can I do for you?"
A deep, resonant voice sounded, faced with the Earth Puppet’s question, Tang Haofei politely replied, "I’m just browsing."
"Very well, sir, have a pleasant day."
The Earth Puppet wasn’t surprised, as people who can’t afford skills but want to feast their eyes aren’t rare, nor is one merely present.
After that, the Earth Puppet courteously left, leaving Tang Haofei to roam aimlessly in the vast skills store.
There were quite a few people in the skills store, especially around the Sequence Member-Ranking Battle’s starting time; all professionists could teleport freely to Star of Africa, and this needed no magic crystals, regardless of whether they qualified to participate in the battle. Visiting the renowned Star of Africa is enjoyable.
Participating is what’s crucial...
Precisely because of this, the vast Star of Africa was nearly bursting with the overwhelming crowd, whereas the Mountain Kui tribe was busy constructing new residential areas on its outskirts. One must say the Mountain Kui tribe is the most competent construction workers. Nevertheless, this only provides a temporary relief.
However, this has little to do with Tang Haofei. At this moment, Tang Haofei aimlessly wandered around Star of Africa, glancing left and right, much like a country bumpkin just entering the city.
He didn’t conceal his face nor engage in disguise, so naturally, the news of Tang Haofei’s arrival at Star of Africa quickly made its way to the hands of those interested.
When Tang Haofei leisurely stepped out of the government skills store, what he saw was Kasu standing at the entrance waiting for quite some time.
"Mister Tang Haofei, Commander Lin wishes to meet you."
After Kasu said this, he closely watched Tang Haofei’s eyes, feeling somewhat nervous, especially when Tang Haofei placed his right hand on Kasu’s shoulder, Kasu could only feel a tightening... Even now, within an absolute safe zone, Tang Haofei’s reputation still made Kasu feel jittery.
"Don’t be afraid, it’s me."
After Tang Haofei spoke, he subsequently offered a gentle smile, paying no attention to Kasu’s bewildered expression, and then continued to say.
"Come on, take me to meet Lin Haifeng."
