My expression froze for a moment, then I became spirited. I grinned and said, "Teacher, what kind of ultimate skill are you going to teach me?
Is it the legendary Forbidden Curse of the Undead?
The kind that can summon an army of a hundred thousand undead from hell to aid in battle?
Teacher, if you really have such a good skill, please don't hide it... "
Rinser widened his blood-red eyes, and his beard fluttered in the wind as he said, "Brat, how can there be such a good thing? Back then, after the Dragon Speaker severed the connection between the real world and the Purgatory Plane, spatial magic was greatly restricted. Even if we can communicate with the undead in the Purgatory with our divine senses, we can't summon a large number of undead into the real world. You'd better give up on that idea. Wipe off your saliva, I'm going to teach you another kind of magic."
"Oh?
Magic? "
I was slightly shocked, and couldn't help but laugh. "I can just learn magic, and not use Skill Fusion?"
"Yes, yes!"
Rinser nodded and said, "Yes, you can't use Skill Fusion because it will be a forbidden magic skill. Your current strength is enough to learn it!" I was overjoyed.
As expected, after the Level 120 fifth class promotion, there really was a skill that could break through the realm to learn. This was great, was I going to become a great mage?
Whoosh!
My eyes lit up, and Rinser waved his hand. A skill interface appeared in front of me. It was an orange-red skill button, and the skill's stats were astounding — [Icy Cyclone Domain]: Release the power of ice and snow. Within a range of 20 to 20 yards, the movement speed and attack speed of all enemy targets will be greatly reduced. Also, a random icicle will attack the target within the Icy Cyclone Domain. Consumes 200 MP, lasts for 60 seconds. Cooldown: 20 seconds. Cost to learn: 100000 gold, 50000 Reputation!
… …
Fuck, it really was a forbidden spell! I didn't think that it would cost me 100k RMB and 50k Reputation to learn. No ordinary person would be able to learn such a ridiculous skill. Thankfully, I had done enough quests and killed enough bosses to earn 220k Reputation without a hitch. As for the 100k gold I had to spend to learn the skill, it was truly a heartache. However, this Icy Cyclone Domain was incredibly powerful, and it lasted for one minute with a cooldown of 20 minutes. This meant that I could create a maximum of three Icy Cyclone Domains at the same time. This meant that I would be able to create a world that belonged solely to me, and no one would be able to step into it!
Spending 100,000 RMB to buy this kind of skill was very worth it. It could create an area to kill monsters. This skill was also very useful for killing bosses!
Thinking up to this point, I reached out and tapped my skill window. Icy Cyclone Domain immediately appeared in my skill window. At the same time, I lost 50k Reputation and 100k gold.
Activating the skill, I locked onto a target in the distance and waved my hand. Domain energy immediately surged, and in the next moment, a field of blue ice and snow appeared not far away from me. A couple of Snow Rabbits were hopping around on the icy ground, their movement speed greatly reduced. Moreover, I stabbed the Snow Rabbits with icicles and dealt a series of damage numbers — "9048!"
“9038！”
“9274！”
… …
Very good, I didn't even need to do anything. This Level 132 shadow-rank mob was already on the brink of death under the Icy Cyclone Domain. This Icy Cyclone Domain was definitely going to be my trump card when I grinded mobs in the future. It was just too amazing!
At this time, Rinser nodded at me and said, "Other than this move, there is nothing else I can teach you for now. However, Lord Wind Singer came to my place this morning..."
"Oh?
Xinran paid you a visit? "I was surprised.
Rinser was also shocked. "How dare you! That's Lady Wind Singer! How can you call her by her name …"
I curled my lips. "She's my little sister!"
Rinser: "..."
After a moment of confusion, Rinser finally walked forward and said, "Lady Wind Singer came here and talked to me about you. She believes that you will be a great warrior who can bring a whole new world to the undead. Therefore, she left behind a combat technique for me to give to you."
"Combat technique?"
"Yes!"
Rinser nodded and opened his hand. A skill book glowing with golden light appeared in his hand. The light was so bright that anyone could see that this book was very valuable.
I took the skill book and looked at its stats. I couldn't help but be slightly shocked — [God Binding Art]: Summon four peerless divine weapons to bind the target, preventing them from moving or attacking for 15 seconds. Skill cooldown: 30 seconds. However, when the target enters an invincible state, the God Binding Art's effects will disappear. Effect against Divine and Demon Rank bosses will be doubled. MP Cost: 100. Reputation Cost: 20000!
… …
My eyes widened into saucers as I took a closer look. Finally, I could confirm that this was indeed a God Binding Art. It was an ultimate skill that could imprison an opponent. Even though it only lasted for 15 seconds, it was more than enough. This was especially true in PvP. This God Binding Art was definitely a trump card. Unless the opponent had an invulnerability skill, they would only be able to walk the path of death if they met me.
Whoosh!
The skill book disappeared from my hand and the God Binding Art appeared in my skill window. Although this skill didn't have any attack power, its binding effect was extremely valuable. Now that I had two fifth-promotion skills, God Binding Art and Icy Cyclone Domain, my ability to solo bosses had increased by leaps and bounds!
He glanced into the distance and saw a snow rabbit hopping around happily.
I locked onto the rabbit and quickly activated the God Binding Art. With a "hong" sound, my entire body glowed with a blood-red light. The halo of the War God flashed under my feet and four solemn and dignified divine weapons fell to the ground. With a "pa pa pa" sound, they stabbed into the Snow Rabbit's surroundings. The four divine weapons connected to each other and sealed off the Snow Rabbit's movements.
I raised the Heaven-stealing Sword and slashed at the Level 132 Snow Rabbit with a couple of Dragon Slaying Slashes. This Snow Rabbit was clearly too weak against a Level 129 fifth-promotion player like me. It didn't match up to my strength at all.
… …
I spoke to Rinser and brought up the skill window. I was delighted to find that there was another skill I could learn — [Insight]: Discern the target's weakness, causing the next attack to ignore 50% of the target's Defense and Magic Shield. Level Requirement: 120. 2000 Reputation Cost: 2000.
Mn, it was a magic skill that could be considered useful. However, wasting a skill's cooldown to learn an enemy's weakness was a bit of a waste. It wasn't even as effective as my Pardon. Learning it by itself was a waste of time, so I might as well fuse it together!
I checked my attack skills. Hmm, Desperate Gambit was the strongest single-target attack, so I chose it. I hoped that I could fuse it into a good single-target attack skill. Everyone else: Yes!
I selected and confirmed!
Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations, your skill [Desperate Gambit] has successfully fused with the skill [Insight]. You have obtained a new skill — [Universe Break]!
[Universe Break] (LV-10): Increases attack power by 110%, ignores 90% of the target's Defense and 80% of the target's Magic Shield. Uses the power of the universe to wound the target and inflict a curse, reducing their attack power by 10%.
… …
Damn, I actually fused it into a Rank 10 skill. This Universe Break was completely OP. It increased attack power by 110%, ignored 90% of the target's Defense and 80% of the target's Magic Shield. This was equivalent to killing the enemy's Defense. In this case, with my attack power and Martial God's Encourage, there probably weren't many people in Heavenblessed who could withstand my Pardon and Universe Break, right?
I was secretly delighted. When I talked to my trainer again, Rinser refused to teach me anything. However, it was already amazing that I could learn Icy Cyclone Domain after my Level 120 fifth-promotion. Normal players might not have the chance to learn this skill, and even if they could, such a high learning requirement was enough to one-shot 99.9% of players!
I was in a great mood. I didn't think that I would encounter something as awesome as this. After I completed my fifth promotion quest at Level 120, I obtained three ace skills in a row: Icy Cyclone Domain, God Binding Art, and Universe Break. Now, I had Thousand Ice Slash, War Crush, and Icy Cyclone Domain for AoE attacks, Universe Break for single-target attacks, and God Binding Art for CC attacks.
I really wanted to find a place to grind. I was so strong now, but my stomach was very disappointing. It was growling with hunger. If I didn't log off soon, I would probably die!
… …
It was at this moment I suddenly heard a beep. Lin Yixin had sent me a message: "Hi, my dear Little Cheat …"
I replied with a smile: "Hi, my dear beauty. What's up?"
"Fuck …"
Lin Yixin sent me an angry emoji before replying: "There's still ten minutes until the server closes. Come to the Wanderer trainer of Sky City as soon as possible. I need your help. The fans of the book still love to read:!"
"Oh, I'll be right there!"
I quickly returned to the city and ran straight to the trainer's training center. In the distance, I saw dozens of NPC class trainers chatting with each other. Lin Yixin was standing next to the Wanderer trainer like an obedient little girl.
"What's wrong, Yiyi?" I walked up to her and asked with a smile.
Lin Yixin asked, "How many Strength do you have, Lu Chen?"
I shot her a glance and replied, "1557. What's wrong?"
"Sigh …"
Lin Yixin let out a long sigh before pointing a finger at the class trainer. She said, "This guy has a Level 120 ace skill, but it requires 1400 Strength to learn. Right now, I have 1389 Strength, so I'm still a bit short. Can I borrow a piece of equipment from you? I'll return it to you once I'm done learning it …"
"Oh, what skill?"
Her words piqued my interest. This was the first time I heard that a skill required Strength to learn. This was a difficult requirement for many players with low Strength, especially at the current stage of the game. 1400 Strength was a requirement that even Lin Yixin hadn't reached, let alone the rest of the players.
Lin Yixin sent the Wanderer trainer a message. Not long after, she shared a message with me: [Barrier Break] (Rank 10): Increases user's Attack by 80%, ignores 70% of target's Defense, and ignores 60% of Magic Shield's Defense. Level 120, fifth class promotion requirement, 1400 Strength. Class Requirement: Wanderer, Magic Knight, Warrior.
