Chapter 149

【Needle Cluster Shot (SS Active Skill): Cloud Top Chess Player exclusive skill; converts energy into sewing needles and throws them in a straight line, causing three stages of magic damage and a slowing effect; damage depends on the Chess Player's highest attribute; first stage 250%, second stage 500%, third stage 2000%; interval between each stage of damage is 2 seconds; after release, all own attributes decrease by 30% for 30 minutes; cooldown 12 hours.】

"Another ultimate move skill!"

And it was the burst damage type he was currently lacking the most!

As an ultimate move, Needle Cluster Shot had two flaws.

The release time was long; to deal the full damage, it took a total of four seconds, and after release, one fell into a weakened state with all attributes decreased.

But these two flaws were simply not worth mentioning in the face of the heaven-defying skill coefficient!

27 times the damage, perfectly paired with 【Heart of Devotion】, allowed Li Yao to deal world-destroying damage in a short time.

If the last hit also triggered a weakness attack plus a critical hit...

Li Yao's mouth twitched, and he gasped.

"For practitioners, only invincible skills could withstand this strike, right?"

Li Yao's vision was no longer on his peers.

To be able to fight him, they would at least be third-advancement practitioners.

"When fighting these people, I must be careful about the aftereffects of the release."

Those practitioners from big families, it was hard to guarantee they didn't have invincible skills.

He had to find a way to force them out first before considering using it.

Li Yao glanced at his EXP bar.

The Dark Wing and the Man-Slaughter Cavalry had contributed 95% of his level 20 EXP; now that he had leveled up to 21, it converted to less than 40% EXP.

"Ridiculous."

Li Yao sighed.

The Tower of Heaven dungeon was now completely over.

As for the outside world, whether he could reach level 22 before the Martial Exam was a question!

No wonder those practitioners from the Martial Academies, after four years of tempering, were only around the third advancement when they graduated.

The difficulty of leveling up was imaginable!

Li Yao thought while walking toward the vortex leading to the outside world.

At the same time,

Outside,

Various big families worked together to disperse the crowd.

Within a thousand-meter radius of the Tower of Heaven, there was only one person.

Xue Jiulan, dressed in a martial robe, looked up and stared at the tenth floor of the Tower of Heaven.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, her hands crossed over her chest, and the index finger of her left hand kept tapping her right arm.

Muttering in a voice only she could hear:

"Why so slow?"

"The last one, I remember it was that kid Lin Zhouting, right?"

Lin Zhouting, an SS-grade practitioner from the Lin family in the capital, a senior, president of the Jingyu Martial Academy student council.

"What was the clearance time again?"

"24 minutes?"

"It's been half an hour now, and he still hasn't come out?"

"Could it be that the person the principal favors can't even pass the tenth floor?"

The thought had just risen in her mind when Xue Jiulan shook her head and denied it.

If he couldn't pass, he would have been slain by the Man-Slaughter Cavalry long ago; how could he have persisted until now!

However,

Clearance time represented hunting speed; in most cases, hunting speed represented a practitioner's strength.
