Su Chen's lightning-type abilities weren't considered weak. The Thunder God's Heart gave him a strong resistance to lightning. However, he had learned the Lightning Haste from Liu Yue a long time ago. Although Su Chen had used his skill points to complete the Lightning Haste, it was still an Emperor Tier skill. It couldn't unleash much of its potential.
Perhaps I should make use of the Skill Strengthening Furnace and upgrade the Three Thousand Lightning Haste to a God Tier or even a Saint Tier Skill. That way, not only would I gain a powerful offensive skill, I would also be able to increase my lightning resistance during my tribulation.
As soon as he thought of this, Su Chen immediately found a secluded place to hide. He opened up the skill to study the Lightning Haste.
In order to use the Skill Enhancement Furnace, he first needed to raise the skill level to the maximum.
Su Chen hadn't really cultivated the Lightning Haste before. Currently, it was still an Emperor Tier skill. Luckily, even if he used his skill points to upgrade it, it would only require less than 100,000,000 skill points to max it out.
Su Chen was rich now. There was nothing to worry about and he immediately maxed it out.
Then, Su Chen dragged the Lightning Haste into the Skill Enhancement Furnace and prepared to upgrade it.
'Ding … upgrading Lightning Haste requires 1,000,000,000 skill points. Upgrade?'
1,000,000,000?
It was just a drizzle. He had to upgrade it.
'Ding … upgrade successful. Lightning Haste has been upgraded to a God Tier skill.'
Su Chen checked the Lightning Haste's attributes again. It had indeed become a God Tier skill. However, the skill level was reset to zero and needed to be upgraded again.
There were a total of ten levels. Maxing out one level required 1,000,000,000 skill points.
1,000,000,000?
That didn't seem to be a lot.
Max, max!
In an instant, Su Chen's entire body flashed with electricity. The power of lightning and the Great Holy Flame intertwined, forming a terrifying lightning flame. Its power had increased by quite a bit.
If skills of the complementary attributes were used at the same time, they could form a fusion skill. With the complementary attributes, the power would naturally increase.
However, this wasn't important. Su Chen was more interested in the lightning resistance effect.
The max level of the God Tier Lightning Haste had increased Su Chen's lightning resistance by at least 50 times!
'I only spent 1,000,000,000 skill points to achieve such an effect. Not bad.'
Su Chen was hesitating. Should he upgrade the Lightning Haste into a Saint-tier skill in one go?
Previously, Su Chen had only used 5 billion skill points to upgrade Divination to Holy Level. If the cost was about the same, then Su Chen was more than willing to do so.
Let's look at the cost first.
"Ding … Lightning Haste's potential has been depleted. Unable to proceed with a second upgrade."
Uh …
Skills can only be strengthened once?
Alright, this was normal. After all, any cultivation technique had potential. Enhancing the furnace's function was only to further squeeze out the potential of the cultivation technique. However, in a situation where there was only so much potential, even the system could not squeeze out any more potential.
Su Chen suddenly thought of the Skill Fusion function.
If I could get my hands on a God Tier Lightning Attribute Cultivation Technique with decent potential and fuse it with the Lightning Haste, would I be able to increase the potential of the Lightning Haste?
Su Chen's mind moved, and he immediately entered the shop to search.
Search Range: Lightning Attribute Cultivation Method, Divine Tier, Incomplete.
Very quickly, Su Chen had selected a few items.
"Nine Heavens Lightning Technique: Divine Tier Cultivation Method. Summons the lightning of the nine heavens to slay the enemies of the nine depths. A large area attack type skill. Price: 5,000,000,000 skill points."
"Immeasurable Thunderbolt Technique: Divine Tier Cultivation Method. Uses the soul to cultivate the lightning. The higher the soul quality, the stronger the lightning created."
Looking at the Immeasurable Thunderbolt Technique, Su Chen's eyes widened. This was it. He did not even need to look at the rest.
This Immeasurable Thunderbolt Technique was not very useful to normal cultivators. However, it was different for Su Chen. His Immortal Soul Transformation had already reached a small success stage. Under the nourishment of large amounts of Immortal Qi, his Immortal Soul had already taken shape. If he used his Immortal Soul to cultivate the Immeasurable Thunderbolt Technique, the results would definitely be shocking.
5,000,000,000 was a little expensive, but it was still acceptable.
Su Chen waved his hand and bought the Immeasurable Thunderbolt Technique.
"Ding … congratulations to host for entering the Koi Blessing state. All purchases will be 50% off."
He only used 2,500,000,000 to buy the Immeasurable Thunderbolt Technique.
Su Chen was overjoyed. He called out Sister Koi and fed her a few Fortune Fish Treats.
Sister Koi seemed to be jealous. However, after seeing the Fortune Fish Treats, she obediently went to Su Chen's side. She stuck out her tongue like a kitten and licked Su Chen's palm. After eating the Fortune Fish Treats, she was all smiles.
Su Chen smiled and patted Sister Koi's head, "Call me Big Brother."
"Stinky Big Brother …"
Su Chen blushed with shame and bought a few more Fortune Fish Treats.
"Good Big Brother!" Sister Koi's face was all smiles as she ate with relish.
"Ding … Fortune Koi has leveled up to Level 6 and evolved into Koi Girl. Host's luck is increased by an additional 100 points. Additional Status: Koi Blessing: Every two hours, host will receive a fixed 60,000 skill points. There is also a chance of triggering various luck statuses. Koi Protection: When host is attacked for the first time, it will release a Koi Halo to help host block most of the damage."
Sister Koi became Koi Girl!
Su Chen saw that Sister Koi was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. She went from 13-14 years old to 16-17 years old. She was brimming with the aura of a young girl.
So beautiful, so delicate!
She was like a porcelain doll. Su Chen couldn't help but want to hold her in the palm of his hand and take care of her.
After leveling up, Sister Koi was a bit tired and returned to Su Chen's body to rest. It was a bit regretful that Su Chen didn't have time to admire her for a while.
At the same time, Su Chen was a bit puzzled. According to this method, if Sister Koi continued to level up, would she become Sister Koi, Aunty Koi …
Cough, cough, no, definitely not.
Su Chen shook his head and turned his attention back to the Skill Library.
He had already learned the Infinite Thunder Technique. It was also at Level 10. Su Chen was wondering if he should level it up first or fuse it first.
It was better to fuse it directly. Otherwise, after fusing, the level would drop.
"Ding … Skill levels are different. Unable to fuse."
Su Chen rolled his eyes in annoyance. This was forcing him to spend more skill points.
No choice, he could only level it up first.
Like the Three Thousand Lightning Haste, it required 10 billion skill points to level it up.
Su Chen gritted his teeth and filled it up.
In just a short while, Su Chen had already spent more than 20 billion skill points. This was quite fast.
After successfully leveling up, Su Chen directly put the Three Thousand Lightning Haste and Infinite Thunder Technique into the Skill Furnace to fuse them.
"Ding … Do you want to spend 5 billion skill points to fuse the Three Thousand Lightning Haste and Infinite Thunder Technique into a new skill?"
"Fuse."
He had already spent 20 billion, so he didn't mind spending this bit more.
"Ding … Skill fusion successful. Obtained new skill 'Mixed Heaven Lightning'."
Su Chen hurriedly checked it.
"Mixed Heaven Lightning: a top-tier god-tier soul skill. Activating it with soul power will summon eighty-one bolts of divine lightning to attack the target. The maximum attack radius is one thousand kilometers. When attacking, there is a chance of triggering the 'Lightning Split' state. Each bolt of divine lightning can be split into eighty-one bolts. There is a very small chance of triggering the 'Lightning Split' state a second time.
Ferocious!
Domineering!
