Chapter 513: Chapter 274: The Great Harvest of Easter Egg Chapter, Star Lord Canis’ Shell_2
After announcing the individual SSS Level assessments, everyone wore an ’I knew it’ expression.
Subsequently, Lin Xun, who received the highest evaluation, was repeatedly toasted. All the apostles were the elite of the elites, with staggering alcohol tolerance. Facing them alone, Lin Xun nearly drank himself into unconsciousness.
The celebration also took on a farewell-like atmosphere. Yin Linlin, Du Cheng, and Shangguan Yu were busy with work and had to return to their respective cities early the next morning.
After this, Lin Xun would continue to diligently cultivate, striving to clear Chapter Five as soon as possible and compete for the twelfth disciple position in New World.
By the time Lin Xun entered the game again, it was already noon the next day.
[Apostle, you have successfully decoded the Easter Egg Chapter and have obtained the right to a random draft for the Easter Egg Chapter!]
[From now on, you will have the chance to receive random drafts for the Easter Egg Chapter. You can refuse to join the draft or agree to join the draft into other Apostles’ Easter Egg Chapters.]
The ones who usually opt for random drafting are the apostles from the public and the New World.
Choosing specific drafting would require the input of the other party’s soul mark. Civilian Apostles had very few book friends, and some even had no friends as they wished to hide their identities.
As for New World, they choose random drafting due to internal rules that prevent members from revealing each other’s soul marks.
In Easter Egg Chapters, an apostle’s soul mark would not be publicly displayed. For instance, in the Heavenly Demon Invasion Chapter, code names like the Star Lord Canis and Breaking Army Star Lord were used to refer to each apostle.
Lin Xun opened his item inventory to check the four artifacts.
’With rewards this generous, I hope to have some good luck and get drafted several times.’
The first was the reward for the overall decoding evaluation...
[Crown of the Star Lord (Legendary Grade Artifact): The coronet of the Big Dipper Star Lords, with a golden chain and twelve tassels of white jade beads.]
[By using this artifact, you can choose any one of the seven blessings bestowed by the Star Lords. This blessing’s effectiveness will greatly increase and can last for one complete Chapter. Ending the Chapter halfway will not disrupt the effect of the blessing.]
The artefact lists the seven Star Lord Blessings’ effects, which bear similarities to the rewards from the Seven Immortals Palace. They either increase physical or magic damage, traits like defense or healing power...
However, the BUFF of the Heavenly Pivot Palace and Tianxuan Palace have been altered. The former boosts stamina (fatigue value), while the latter enhances vitality.
For people like Yin Linlin and Shangguan Yu, the enhanced Star Lord Blessing that lasts for an entire Chapter will be of great benefit. With this artifact, they would be sure to achieve an S grade evaluation in a standard Chapter.
If they were lucky, they might attain an S grade in a Nightmare Chapter as well.
As for Lin Xun, the best option would probably be the Lord Star Moon’s blessing from the Heavenly Jue Palace, improving the drop rate of monster loot.
[Tortoise Shell of the Heavenly Pivot Golden Sea Turtle (Epic+ Grade Artifact): The Big Dipper’s Heavenly Pivot turns into Star Lord Canis when taking human form, and turns into a golden sea turtle when in animal form. The robust tortoise shell was from the golden sea turtle, containing a thin trace of Dragon Clan Bloodline which gives the shell incredible defensive power.]
[By using this artifact, it will create a solid Golden Sea-Turtle shell shield for you. You will not suffer any damage until the shell is destroyed.]
Upon checking the item description, it triggered the Little Dragon’s ’Hermit Bloodline’ devouring prompt.
The game showed that the Little Dragon could devour the trace of Dragon Clan Bloodline contained within the tortoise shell to enhance its abilities.
Apart from the Dragon Clan Bloodline, the defensive power of the artifact is not of much use to Lin Xun.
The ’Yiye Palace Lord’ can use talisman barriers to ward off damage, but the ’Extreme Evil Erosion’ BUFF in this Chapter has substantially reduced all the attributes of the Palace Lord, resulting in a massive reduction of abilities except for the Shikigami.
But once he survives this Chapter, the Palace Lord can return to full HP, and the ’Guardian of the Ten Directions’ Absolute Realm’ will become Lin Xun’s strongest defensive maneuver.
After a long hesitation, he clicked on the Little Dragon’s ’Hermit Bloodline’ skill.
[The Hermit power hidden deep within your bloodline begins to awaken. It is parched and desperately yearning to devour any item containing remnants of the Dragon Clan Bloodline, seeking to grow stronger.]
[Do you wish to devour the ’Tortoise Shell of the Heavenly Pivot Golden Sea Turtle’ (Epic+ Grade Artifact)?]
[You opened your jagged-mouth towards the heavy tortoise shell, absorbing the golden bloodline it contained. It turned into strands of light which you devoured...]
[Devouring...]
[The horns on your skull are becoming increasingly robust, the tusks in your jaws are turning even sharper, and the dignity of the Hermit Bloodline emanates from your Shell...]
[Absorption succeed!]
[The absorption this time is insufficient to upgrade the quality of your Shell. Please select the skills of this Shell to enhance its quality...]
The quality of Little Dragon’s Shell is already at Epic+ Level, so the Netherworld Game doesn’t directly upgrade his Shell like last time. Instead, it offers options to enhance skill quality.
Except for the demon technique ’Early Awakening’ which is itself at Epic+ Level and is unable to upgrade, any other skills can be chosen to upgrade to Epic+ Level.
Little Dragon’s ’Dark Dragon Breath’ and ’Hermit’s Arrival’ are both still at Epic Level. As for supporting skills such as the Technique of Qi Observation and Art of Transformation, they are simply at the pitiful Rare+ Level.
He thought for a moment and chose to upgrade ’Dark Dragon Breath’ and ’Hermit’s Arrival’.
Both skills are frequently used and are Little Dragon’s main output methods. The priority of ’Art of Transformation’ that allows for human transformation, and the scouting skill ’Technique of Qi Observation’ are lower.
[Shell skill ’Dark Dragon Breath’ has been upgraded from Epic Level to Epic+ Level!]
[Shell skill ’Hermit’s Arrival’ has been upgraded from Epic Level to Epic+ Level!]
[You have become stronger!]
The already powerful dragon breath skill and transformation skill get a quality boost. After boosting Little Dragon, he looks at the remaining two items.
[’Big Dipper Sword Control True Secrets’ (Legendary Grade Item):an ancient book with no visible words on its pages, but the Big Dipper’s seven stars shimmer within. As the seven stars flicker, they burst forth with endless sword energy, harming anyone who simply flips through the pages!]
[After using this item, you will learn the Legendary Grade skill named ’Big Dipper Sword Control True Secrets’!]
[’Big Dipper Sword Control True Secrets’ (Legendary Grade Skill): Once you learn this skill, you will be able to control blade and sword-type weapons as if they were extensions of your very limbs.]
[Using this skill does not require a build-up. However, it will consume 99% of the remaining ’True Element’ (Fatigue Value) in your Shell. You will unleash a powerful Seven-Star Sword Energy, destroy all enemies targeted by the blade edge!]
"A Legendary level big move..."
Exhausting all stamina to release the Legendary level Seven-Star Sword Energy, this is no doubt another trump card level of big move skill.
Such a self-destruct big move is usually not used lightly by Apostles. If you consume 99% of your stamina and fail to kill the boss, a couple of simple attacks will leave you fatigued to the point of fainting, causing the Wandering Soul to leave the body...
But this skill is very suitable for Lin Xun, who has multiple Shells.
There are only three advanced Shells in the Shell column that can learn this skill: Earth Giant, Ninja Master, and the Master of the Ogiwara Family.
The Ninja Master’s Shell quality is the highest, already reaching Legendary grade. By rights, it should be most appropriate for the Ninja Master to learn this Sword Control skill.
However, the Ninja Master already has the ’One Flash of Heaven and Earth’ which comes with the Dragon’s Greenness. The special skill of Legendary grade Weapon will only be slightly weaker than the usual Legendary grade skill, so teaching Sword Control to the Ninja Master seems repetitive.
Moreover, the side effects of this skill are too great. After using the skill, you can no longer control the Shell and must immediately switch Shells to avoid fainting from exhaustion.
"Why not let the one-armed Master learn it and use his Shell as a cannon to launch artillery?"
Lin Xun pondered for a long time but still couldn’t decide, so he simply looked at the last item.
[’Star Lord Canis’s Soul Treasure Box’ (Legend+ Grade Item):A huge treasure box embedded with seven stars of the Big Dipper, in which the soul of Star Lord Canis is asleep.]
[Upon using this item, you will obtain a masterless Star Lord Shell!]
[The Shell will generate a Star Lord Canis Shell that has up to 99% affinity with the Apostle. The quality of the Shell will be randomly generated, with the lowest quality being Ruined Level and the highest being Legendary Level!]
[The newly generated Star Lord Canis Shell will automatically learn the true name of the Shell, and will randomly generate between zero to three Shell skills.]
[This item has bound to your soul and cannot be traded, given away, abandoned, or dropped.]
Lin Xun’s eyes widened in disbelief when he saw this, and he exclaimed aloud.
"A Shell item?!"
