[Prompt: You triggered a 2000x Critical Hit effect!]
[Prompt: Plunder successful! Your HP Attribute has increased by 100 billion points! Your Mental Attribute has increased by 10 billion points!]
[Prompt: Plunder successful! You have obtained the Epic Level talent—Cutting!]
Lin Bei's brows furrowed as he looked at the system prompts.
The next second, he immediately felt a surging power of HP erupt within him, as if it would instantly tear him apart!
"Holy crap! This increase is too much!"
Lin Bei cursed inwardly.
At the same time, he glanced at his Shadow Power, which was only over a million strands, clearly not enough to instantly recover from his injuries!
If he were to use a Healing Pod, his currently active Super Lucky State would probably be wasted!
Because he would definitely fall into a coma!
By the time he woke up, who knew how many days would have passed!
"That's right! I still have Absolute Defense!"
Suddenly, Lin Bei's Spirit was invigorated as he remembered the Primal Level skill "Absolute Defense" he had just learned!
Immediately, without any hesitation, he activated the Absolute Defense skill, instantly entering an invincible state!
[Absolute Defense: Primal Level skill. After activation, the user enters "Absolute Defense" state, immune to and reflecting all damage for 60 seconds. Cooldown: 300 seconds.
When the skill is not active, gain "Fountain of Vitality" state, recovering 1% of maximum HP and Mental Attribute per second.]
In an instant, Lin Bei's body was enveloped by a layer of hazy, gray energy.
An unshakeable aura rose from within him!
The damage effect caused by the surging Combat Power instantly dissipated.
[HP: 135.8 Billion (Epic Four-Star)]
[Spirit: 24 Billion (Epic Three-Star)]
[Combat Power: 79.9 Billion (Epic Three-Star)]
Several seconds later, the surging HP and Spirit power within Lin Bei completely dissipated, integrating perfectly with his body.
"Phew—that was close."
"Good thing I reacted quickly, otherwise, lying on the ground for a few days, the day lilies would have already turned cold!"
Lin Bei let out a long breath, feeling the surging power within him.
Afterward, he turned his gaze to the talent ability he had plundered from Xue Yi.
His brows furrowed slightly; he was somewhat dissatisfied.
"This guy named Xue Yi, although his Combat Power is much stronger than the Order Dynasty leader, his talent ability... feels really lacking."
"I've already triggered a 2000x Critical Hit effect! And all I got was an Epic Level talent ability?"
"Is that all???"
Lin Bei kept complaining in his heart.
[Cutting: Epic Level talent. When holding a sharp blade, can enchant the weapon with the "Cutting" Rule Power, Cutting through the target upon contact and applying a "Bleeding" effect to flesh-and-blood targets, continuously reducing the target's HP by 1% per second for 10 seconds.
Note: talent ability only takes full effect against targets of the same level; its effect is greatly weakened against Legendary Level and above targets.]
"Sigh, it's just so-so, barely acceptable."
Looking at the attribute description of the Epic Level Cutting talent, Lin Bei pouted, feeling it was underwhelming.
However, it was still an offensive talent, and it could continuously inflict a bleeding status on the target, which wasn't bad for prolonged battles.
So, Lin Bei only complained once before retracting his gaze and stepping out of the prison.
Next, he had many things to do.
For example, the several skill books he got from the Tianjian City Lord, or the pile of reward packages he received from the Shadow Forest, and the legacy blind boxes he just got from those Order Dynasty Survivors—all were waiting for him to check them out.
Hei Feng gave him a total of five Shadow-type skill scrolls.
They were [Shadow Grip], [Shadow Stealth], [Shadow Mark], [Shadow Slash], [Shadow Teleport], and [Shadow Clone].
The first three Shadow abilities only required a Shadow Points cap of 100 to learn, while the latter three required 500, 800, and 1000 Shadow Points respectively to learn.
Now Lin Bei's Shadow Points cap exceeded 10,000 points, so learning these Shadow abilities was no problem at all.
He returned to his room, took out a scroll, silently prayed, and then directly crushed one of the scrolls!
[Prompt: You used the "Shadow Grip" scroll! You triggered a 2000x Critical Hit effect!]
[Prompt: Congratulations, you have mastered the Epic Level skill—"Grasp of Death"!]
Lin Bei's brows slightly furrowed. A 2000x Critical Hit effect was his guaranteed minimum critical multiplier under his current Super Lucky State.
To be honest, he was not satisfied.
But he only had one scroll for each Shadow ability, so he couldn't repeatedly refresh the ability's level.
Thus, he could only silently take out the second Shadow scroll and choose to use it.
[Prompt: You used the "Shadow Stealth" scroll! You triggered a 2000x Critical Hit effect!]
[Prompt: Congratulations, you have mastered the Epic Level skill—"Death Stealth"!]
"Damn it, another minimum!"
Lin Bei couldn't help but curse, then continued to take out the third scroll and use it.
He refused to believe that someone could be so unlucky as to always get the minimum!
[Prompt: You used the "Shadow Mark" scroll! You triggered a 2000x Critical Hit effect!]
[Prompt: Congratulations, you have mastered the Epic Level skill—"Mark of Death"!]
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap crap crap!!!"
"I can't take this anymore! It's another damn minimum!"
Lin Bei shot up from his chair and paced back and forth in the room.
Finally, he decided to perform a ritual.
He took out a golden basin from his storage space, then bathed and burned incense, and used Perfect Quality facial cleanser to wash his face seven or eight times. Only then did he take a deep breath and silently recite in his heart:
"Spirits of heaven! Spirits of earth! Jade Emperor, Queen Mother of the West, Three Pure Ones, God, Allah... and, Goddess of Luck!"
"Bless me! Don't let me keep getting the minimum!"
"Please!"
After the ritual, Lin Bei took another deep breath, took out a scroll, and chose to use it.
This time, he used the "Shadow Slash" scroll!
Soon, a prompt sounded in his ear.
[Prompt: You used the "Shadow Slash" scroll! You triggered a 10000x Critical Hit effect!]
[Prompt: Congratulations, you have mastered the Legendary Level skill—"Execute"!]
"Oh wow! Finally... no more minimums!"
Lin Bei was excited. This time, he actually triggered the highest Critical Hit multiplier, directly obtaining a Legendary Level skill!
He didn't bother to check the skill attributes, intending to strike while the iron was hot and continue using scrolls to learn Shadow abilities.
[Prompt: You used the "Shadow Teleport" scroll! You triggered a 10000x Critical Hit effect!]
[Prompt: Congratulations, you have mastered the Legendary Level skill—Teleport!]
"Hahaha! Excellent! Another 10,000x Critical Hit!"
Lin Bei burst into laughter, feeling invigorated: "Keep going, keep going!"
He held the last Shadow scroll in his hand, a smile blossoming on his face, and directly chose to use it.
[Prompt: You used the "Shadow Clone" scroll! You triggered a 2000x Critical Hit effect!]
[Prompt: Congratulations, you have mastered the Epic Level skill—"Death Avatar"!]
The system prompt sounded in his ear.
Lin Bei's smile abruptly froze, his face twitching uncontrollably.
It... was a minimum again?
It was just going so well, with two consecutive 10,000x Critical Hit effects!
But in the end... "Damn it, I can't accept this!"
Lin Bei's face was ashen, his heart bleeding.
The ability he looked forward to the most was this clone ability!
Yet... it only yielded a minimum!
He was utterly numb!
Perhaps, this was what they called... extreme joy turning to sorrow.
