32 Evolution Points, plus the 3 points left from before, totaling 35 points.
"Greedy Hand requires 210 points for further evolution... I'll leave it for now."
"This Temple of Faith might be dangerous, better evolve passive dodge first."
To increase his survival rate, Qin Feng chose to evolve 'Phantom Blur'!
——
[You have consumed 1+2+3+5 Evolution Points, leaving 24 points.]
[Phantom Blur (Gold → Epic): Assassin skill. Passively gains 15% → 75% dodge rate, triggering dodge can negate all damage.]
——
After reaching Epic level, the Evolution Points needed for further evolution increase tenfold.
"It originally required only 8 Evolution Points."
"But since it's from Epic to Legendary, it requires 80 points..."
Qin Feng shook his head and decided to set this skill aside for now.
A 75% dodge rate was already very high.
Then he continued to evolve Shadow Blink Slash, upgrading this skill to Epic level as well:
——
[You have consumed 13 Evolution Points, leaving 11 points.]
[Shadow Blink Slash (Diamond → Epic): Blink in one direction (max distance 27 → 30 meters) and enter stealth mode (duration 9 → 12 seconds), dealing 7 → 9 slashes to all enemies in the path. Cooldown 12 (8.8) seconds.]
[Slash width: 4.1 → 5 meters. Each slash adds 300 → 500 attack power.]
——
From Diamond to Epic, the additional attack of Shadow Blink Slash increased by 200 points.
And the number of slashes increased from 7 to 9.
The total damage nearly doubled again!
"That's incredible..."
In his previous life, Qin Feng learned Epic-level skills only several years later.
In this life...
He started with Epic-level skills right from the beginning!
Although these skills have relatively low values due to their low levels, they can evolve infinitely!
"However, since the Evolution Points needed from Epic to Legendary increase tenfold."
"So, the higher the initial grade of the skill, the more cost-effective it is for me to evolve."
Qin Feng calculated.
If a skill is already at Epic level, then evolving to Legendary is the first evolution, requiring a base of 1 Evolution Point, multiplied by ten is only 10 points.
It can quickly evolve to Legendary, Mythical, and even... Ancient, Immortal!
But if a skill is a Common skill, then to evolve to Epic, it must evolve seven times first.
By that time, the base Evolution Points required would be 21 or even 34 points.
Tenfold would be 210 or even 340 points.
That's too costly!
"But the advantage is, no matter what grade of skill I learn, I can evolve it to Epic level at a minimal cost."
"In other words, all my skills in the future will be at least Epic level!"
With 11 Evolution Points remaining.
Qin Feng thought for a moment and evolved the initial skill, Subshadow.
——
[You have consumed 3+5 Evolution Points, leaving 3 points.]
[Initial skill: Subshadow (Silver → Gold → Platinum). Enter stealth mode for 16 → 20 → 24 seconds. Break stealth attack power increases by 90 → 120 → 150. Cooldown 26 → 24 → 22 seconds.]
——
The final base cooldown of the skill is 22 seconds.
But since Qin Feng has a 35% cooldown reduction attribute, the effective cooldown is 16.3 seconds.
"This stealth skill's cooldown is still too long."
"And the break stealth attack power is a bit low..."
"I'll definitely have to replace it later."
After consuming all the Evolution Points, Qin Feng refocused on the maze in front of him.
The 'Devout Believer' crawled forward at a relatively fast pace.
As it passed a corner, suddenly, a large iron ball flew out from the wall, smashing the Devout Believer away!
-6666!
-99999!
The first damage was from being hit by the iron ball.
The second damage was from being smashed into the wall, flattening the Devout Believer on the spot, a gruesome sight...
Qin Feng temporarily halted his advance.
He waited in place for the cooldown of summoning the 'Devout Believer'.
"This maze is intricate and full of dangers."
"I can only let the summoned creature scout the way."
Qin Feng sighed.
Although it would waste a lot of time, this Temple of Faith was clearly related to his 'Eye of Judgment', and he had to explore it to the end.
Otherwise, who knows what secrets he might miss...
...
While Qin Feng was exploring the temple.
At the temple entrance.
The long-legged elegant lady 'Gray Rose', along with her teammates, two men and three women, cautiously returned.
When they were ready to face the two Silver-level mini-bosses, they were shocked to find that the two Silver-level bosses were already dead!
Gray Rose, with her black curly hair, wore a gray robe that wrapped around her graceful and exquisite figure.
When she saw the corpses of the two 'Devout Believers', she couldn't help but frown!
"Someone actually killed them?"
"At this stage, the only one who could take down two Silver-level bosses so quickly must be the Shadow master, right?"
"The Shadow master actually came here?"
Gray Rose's teammates were all shocked.
Looking at the gray-white corpses of the two Devout Believers, they chatted, all feeling a bit relieved...
Even though they were prepared, they were also afraid of losing again!
Only Gray Rose seemed a bit puzzled as she watched the scene.
"Last time I came, I seemed to see a figure communicating with the Silver bosses..."
"Was that the Shadow?"
"Did I see it wrong, or?"
Last time, Gray Rose had almost stepped into the hall.
Her beautiful eyes glimpsed a shadow communicating with the two Silver bosses...
But upon hearing the Silver bosses roar, she immediately retreated, only to be burned to death by the Silver boss's green flames.
Thinking back now, was that shadow the Shadow?
Gray Rose was very suspicious!
"I believe I didn't see it wrong."
"But why didn't these two Silver bosses attack the Shadow?"
"Could it be that the Shadow has some means to confuse the bosses?"
"Is that how he could kill so many bosses?"
...
No matter how Gray Rose speculated, she couldn't guess the truth!
As time passed, the number of players teleporting to Shell Town increased, and the town was already overcrowded...
A town can accommodate up to ten thousand people.
Now, Shell Town had almost reached its limit.
This led to the surrounding monsters being completely insufficient for farming.
There were nearly ten times more players!
Those Crawlers, Polluters, and others never expected so many people to come to this town?
They scattered and hid.
But they were still dug out and killed by the players...
In this situation, even elite teams like Wang Meng's couldn't farm quickly.
After three full hours, they only reached level 5.
Lin Liyu's Gold-level skill couldn't be fully utilized!
Wang Meng frowned: "It seems we need to teleport to another less crowded town to speed up leveling."
Lin Liyu said: "No problem. But before we leave, we need to wait for Brother Shadow to trade with him."
Wang Meng nodded: "Yeah."
Beside them, Qin Xiaoyou quietly listened to their conversation, unable to suppress the upward curve of her lips!
