Chapter 611: SSS‑Class Reward

Exclusive skill?

After a brief moment of thought, Lin An chose to activate it directly.

The Fool's Title, however, came with no explanation at all.

The title obtainable only at the 49‑point limit left Lin An somewhat puzzled.

What... special effect could it have?

Almost the instant it was opened, a brand‑new skill appeared out of nowhere in the skill panel.

But a system prompt from the Savior also sounded instantly:

"Detected Judgment Eye, a skill of the same type as Divine Sting."

"Should we fuse and upgrade?"

"Tip: After fusion, the Weak Point Detection effect is retained."

Huh?

Facing this situation for the first time, Lin An looked somewhat surprised at the skill brought by the Fool's Title.

"Fool": Launch a mental attack that reduces the target's will and thinking ability once and inflicts one instance of mental damage.

"Description: Befuddle the heart."

Indeed it is the same kind of mental attack, somewhat similar to Divine Sting.

However...

Does this thinking‑ability reduction mean turning the opponent into a fool?

Intellect‑reducing halo?

It seemed so; Lin An hesitated not and directly chose to merge the skills.

He already has plenty of skills.

Divine Sting has been his main attack for a long time, but as he grows stronger, it's often used only against weaker foes.

Against slightly stronger opponents, the effect of a single Mental Shock is actually insufficient.

And Judgment Eye.

To be honest, it's a bit useless.

The Heavenly Human Form and Judgment Eye have already overlapped; after mental power is boosted, the effect is not much different from Judgment Eye.

If Judgment Eye didn't also provide some special information that can't be sensed, Lin An would often not bother activating it.

For example, Gao Tian needs the aid of Judgment Eye.

But Lin An himself, on the contrary, has no use for it.

With a single sword blast, what weak point is needed?

Let's fuse and see what skill appears.

It can also be considered a use for "trash".

In the panel, Divine Sting and Judgment Eye began to merge with each other.

Three seconds later, a flash of dark‑purple light flickered and vanished.

"Ding, acquired new skill: Judgment"

"Judgment: Special skill"

"Skill effect: After locking onto a unit, obtain information on the target's attributes, skills, and traits, and according to the power gap, gain at least one weak‑point detail."

"After locking on, summon a thunderbolt from the high sky, dealing mental and lightning‑element damage."

"That damage carries special effects such as paralysis, superspeed, armor‑break, dissolution, high heat, conduction, and coma."

"Each activation consumes a portion of mental power."

!

An unexpected delight.

He waved his hand to release the skill.

After mental power dropped by about 7%, a silver‑purple thunder dragon suddenly appeared in the void‑like darkness above.

Thunder roared, and just before the deafening boom, a bolt as thick as an arm slammed down.

What incredible speed!

He was somewhat startled.

After trying it, Lin An found he couldn't even keep up with the speed of the Thunder Burst.

As expected...

The essence of thunder is pure energy, which is light.

At the speed of light, where could a biological reaction come from?

"Boom!!"

Plasma exploded.

After a Judgment struck himself, Lin An couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth into a smile.

High heat, superspeed, armor‑break, paralysis.

Even with his defenses, he felt a sharp, burning tingling of paralysis.

If it were any other Awakened One, a single thunderbolt would likely send them straight to heaven.

Moreover,

At the moment of locking on, it also seemed to carry a mental‑pressure effect.

Is it a weak version of Dragon's Might paired with explosive damage?

It truly lives up to the name Judgment.

In a great mood.

Having just finished strengthening his strength, Xiong Hanzi lay on the ground, twitching weakly, enviously watching Lin An constantly test new skills.

Old Zhang also wants such a cool skill...

Why the hell does slamming the ground with my palm feel like hoeing...

"How does it feel?"

Excited about testing the skill, Lin An looked at the fallen Xiong Hanzi with a smile.

Now he seriously doubts that even a regular third-rank Awakened One, even with the gene lock opened, could beat him?

He just doesn't know how strong he'll become after officially advancing to third rank upon returning to reality.

Will he leap straight to the peak of third rank in one step?

This rate of getting stronger is like riding a rocket.

"Lin Dui..."

Hearing Lin An ask about himself, Zhang Tie propped himself up, enviously looking at him surrounded by silver light, and replied resentfully:

"Very strong!"

"I feel that once my physique and strength reach their limit, I can kill a group of stitched ones with a single punch!"

"Lin Dui... why are your skills always so cool..."

"Why am I always just a bear..."

Wanting to cry but no tears.

Thinking back, before charging into the corpse tide, Lin An had also given him a set of equipment, but that blood-soaked blade he just couldn't use properly no matter how he tried.

All the way through bloody battles, relying solely on his fists and his mouth.

Lin An was somewhat speechless.

This Xiong Hanzi, ever since encountering the stitched ones, has daily compared his strength using that monster as the benchmark.

One punch can kill it; one punch cannot.

I don't know if it's because the stitched ones originally beat him too badly, causing Zhang Tie to constantly complain about it.

Seeing Zhang Tie comparing the gap between them, Lin An couldn't help but shake his head slightly:

"Don't envy me."

"You're already strong enough."

"Strictly speaking, every Awakened One should be envying you."

"What's the use of flashy skills?"

"Your physique determines that your strength has no limit; you get stronger from taking hits—this is an ability that drives countless people mad with jealousy."

He pursed his lips.

Zhang Tie looked at him eagerly, then jumped up with a thud:

"Lin Dui.. your skills aren't just flashy..."

"Saying that, won't your conscience hurt..."

Lin An:....

He no longer paid attention to Xiong Hanzi.

While waiting for the Secret Realm to restart, Lin An happily checked the rewards he had obtained.

After instructing Zhang Tie to definitely exchange prestige for practical equipment, Lin An stopped worrying about him.

Unlike the multitude of rewards he received.

After Zhang Tie obtained two limit values, he only had 1000 prestige points.

After all, he merely followed Lin An to complete the mission, but the reward count didn't include him.

Even the SSS-level reward for world completion, the system only gave one person a chance to draw.

Obviously.

"Compared to the Savior System, the Doomsday System is pretty stingy..."

"Ding, this time's world completion reward has been upgraded from S-rank to SSS-rank."

"Shall we open the reward draw?"

"Number of draws: 3!"

"Because the reward has been raised to the limit, if after three draws you don't obtain satisfactory equipment, you may choose to forgo the drawn rewards and receive a random Epic-tier Equipment."

Familiar roulette, familiar music.

This time there's actually a guaranteed Epic-tier Equipment?

Good buddy, rare to be generous once!

Staring at the wicked big turntable, Lin An somewhat nervously examined the options on the wheel.

Um...

White Equipment is no longer visible; the lowest are now Blue Equipment.

Sixteen green sets appear among them, like bewitching cat's-eye stones, captivating the heart.

It's surprising.

Lin An actually also saw quite a few modern items.

Hydrogen bomb*1, nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleet, B6 supersonic bomber, Goddess of Dawn...

Even this kind of trash is put up there?

The only thing comforting him is that, with the SSS-rank reward increase, the wheel has never shown cola before.

With three rewards, surely he can draw a full set?

In the upper right of the wheel, within a cell that took up 1%, a Death God mask brimming with deathly aura drew all his attention.

He took a deep breath, Lin An's eyes blazing, and he pointed directly at the draw button.

"Start drawing!"
