Chapter 263 - Breakthrough to Level 16, A New Attempt (5K for Monthly Pass)
Chapter 263 of "Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!" unveils a new twist: Chapter 263: Chapter 49: Breakthrough to Level 16, A New Attempt (5K for Monthly Pass)ââAs... See what happens!
Chapter 263: Chapter 49: Breakthrough to Level 16, A New Attempt (5K for Monthly Pass)ââ
As expected, two breakthrough skills were obtained.
Seeing the skill descriptions, Xu Shu paused slightly.
"Entanglement? Could this be somewhat redundant with Spit Silk? Maybe not, Spit Silk might initially have been intended to work with my mastery of architecture to build nests, I just havenât used it that way."
With knowledge flooding his mind like an overflowing cup, Xu Shu instantly grasped the descriptions of the two new skills.
The first, Black Widow entry level 16 breakthrough skill:
This skill was relatively straightforward, much as the name implied, and had some synergy with the skill.
Entanglement: Gives spider webs the ability to grow and entangle, allowing for advance preparation. When an enemy enters the range of the web, it will trigger automatically, entangling and binding any enemies within range.
"Not bad, itâs like gaining another trap skill, and control skills are always in short supply."
"Itâs just a pity if it was a venom-type skill it would be even better, Iâm currently in more need of damage, haha."
Xu Shu felt it was quite okay and then looked forward keenly to the legendary skill.
In an instant, a surge of knowledge roiled within him:
Your has broken through to level 16, and you have realized the final Ultimate SkillâGonggong!
Ultimate Skill characteristic: Touching Mountain!
Touching Mountain: You enter the enraged state of Gonggong. Your resistances will see a significant boost for a short time. Can be used in conjunction with âKua Fu Chasing the Sun.â Rotate more than two and a half circles around the enemy, and you will gain the attack effect,"Iron Mountain Lean"!
Iron Mountain Lean: Gonggong Touching Mountain, gather strength for a powerful strike! The more circles you make, the stronger the attack will be. Mastered to perfection, moving mountains and filling seas are within your reach.
"Eh?"
A pure attack skill?
No wonder I constantly felt like charging at something; the method of skill output is Iron Mountain Lean, oh no, itâs Gonggong Touching Mountain?
Seeing his newly acquired Ultimate Skill, Xu Shu couldnât help but feel amused.
Today, as a Warrior with a strong defensive foundation, his defenses were already very impressive. With Jingwei activated, not even bullets were a concern, an absolute top-tier defense among his peers.
Additionally, with Kua Fu Chasing the Sun at his disposal, he had both mobility and control.
If one were to say what he was lacking the most now, it would actually be a truly strong and powerful burst damage technique.
Seeing other professions with all sorts of high-damage and flashy attack skills, Xu Shu felt a bit envious.
But the newly obtained Gonggong Touching Mountain was exactly what he needed to address some of his deficiencies in attack power.
With such a breakthrough, his weaknesses had lessened considerably, just like a bird soaring into the blue sky, a fish leaping into the vast ocean, no longer hindered.
At the same time, Xu Shu noticed that behind his entry, an additional description "Breakthrough completed" had appeared.
"It looks like Heart of Steel has reached its limit. Once it reaches level 20, there should be no new skills, but there is still one more chance for an epiphany with the alien entries."
"Hehe, my Warrior might look only level 16, but in reality, my power isnât much different from a full-max level 20."
Xu Shu opened a can of food thoughtfully and began to eat.
Then, he glanced at the sky.
This delay had brought time close to three in the afternoon.
Looking out the window, one could see many people, moving one after another from the west, heading this way under the sunlight.
Little black specks traveled across the Wasteland like diligent ants.
Closer by, there were those driving into the parking lot, beginning to unload cargo. Obviously, they were merchant caravans.
There were also many people on foot with small burlap sacks on their backs. These were the Scavengers from the Wasteland.
It was no wonder "Lighthouse Inn" was a relatively well-known place around here; every few days, there would be a relatively lively âresource trade fair.â
Then, Xu Shu shifted his gaze back and seriously considered his next steps.
"I already have 17 Contribution Points. As long as I follow the same method, find three more creatures in a different place, and resolve things quickly, I should be able to get it done."
"But today I only have one more chance. If I go on another expedition, since Lance is staking me out again, relying on just a single journey probably wonât be enough for me to work out a safe route. Two or three attempts would be more secure."
"Hmm, if heâs lurking nearby, does it indicate that Iâm facing a relatively significant danger, potentially allowing for a higher quality draw from the legendary life destiny pool?"
At this thought, Xu Shuâs eyes brightened.
It was not an impossible scenario.
He had previously speculated that the "potential crisis" he faced might affect the quality of the life destinies drawn from the legendary pool.
At this moment, the Earl had come and gone, which seemed to return things to a scenario similar to a few days ago when he had activated a legendary escape and chase right before him.
Moreover, even the âprimary target causing the crisisâ was the same.
What conditions could be better for a comparative experiment?
This fit perfectly with the essence of the controlled variable method!
Xu Shu didnât hesitate and directly spread his hand, revealing the Tai Chu Scroll hovering in the void before him.
Since there was nothing left for today, the remaining leveling up would naturally have to wait until the Tai Chu Scroll was fully replenished tomorrow. His last draw for today could serve as a test of his hypothesis.
"Legendary, activate."
With Xu Shuâs will, a faint mist slowly dissipated and once again engulfed his figure.
In an unseen, silent moment,
Xu Shu found his vision filled with a turbid whiteness, his mind completely empty, entering the most primal, most authentic state.
Then, the chaos before him churned and coalesced into familiar words:
