Chapter 205

Accidents often come exactly when you least expect them.

When Luo Chenyu drained the Lei Shou's HP, it transformed into streams of purple lightning, then reformed—its appearance now changed, clearly its secret technique: Lei Ting Battle Form.

In an instant!

Endless lightning surged toward Luo Chenyu.

Countless prompts appeared before Luo Chenyu's eyes.

Damage…

Immune…

Luo Chenyu had no time to think—he switched to 【Defense Posture】, activated 【Protection of the Life Goddess】, and blasted forward while enduring the endless lightning.

"Kill! 々｀!"

Direct confrontation—that was his pursuit!

After transformation, the Lei Shou's damage reduction increased dramatically, and it regained HP whenever attacked.

But…

In terms of raw toughness, Luo Chenyu still held a slight edge.

The outcome was no surprise.

………………

"Ding, 【Eternal Trial (3)】 settlement successful!"

"Ding, you gain +1500 to all attributes, +1 Eternal·Lei Ting Barrier, and you've unlocked the Eternal Arena and the Eternal Arena Shop!"

"Ding, you may remain in the Eternal Trial space for thirty minutes!"

Skill?

When Luo Chenyu saw the reward, he froze in shock!

He didn't rush to leave the trial space—he opened his space backpack to check the Reward Items.

【Eternal·Lei Ting Barrier】

Quality: SSS (upgradable)

Type: Special Universal Skill

Learning Requirement: Must possess at least one SSS-tier talent.

Effect: Lightning armor shields the body, rendering all attacks ineffective; permanent shield that absorbs damage while dealing Lei attribute damage to targets and has a chance to paralyze them.

……

Holy crap!!

Can attack, can defend!!

Lei ability—rarely mastered by any class, a Gao Jie power.

Who'd have thought a tank like him could get it?

He thought again.

If he fed it to 【Steel Shield】, maybe he'd evolve into a "Lei God-King" someday!

"Ding, learn Special Universal Skill 【Eternal·Lei Ting Barrier】? Note: Once learned, this skill cannot be forgotten!!"

Cannot be forgotten?

Who could resist the temptation of a growable SSS-tier skill?

"Learn!"

At this moment, Luo Chenyu was very expectant for his skill's action—if consumed by 【Steel Shield】, the effect would surely be worth anticipating.

One second!

Five seconds!

Thirty seconds!

Luo Chenyu waited and waited, but felt no stir in his mind—he was left speechless.

And then.

The "friendly" voice in his mind finally arrived—late as ever.

【Prompt: Your skill 【Eternal·Lei Ting Barrier】, guided by your skill 【Protection of the Life Goddess】, has successfully evolved—its effects greatly enhanced!】

【Prompt: Your skill 【Eternal·Lei Ting Barrier】 holds profound reverence for you and craves your praise!】

Luo Chenyu: "…"

He opened his skill panel in silence.

【Eternal·Lei Ting Barrier】

Active Mutation Effect: Consume Mana to summon Lei Ting Barrier; gain damage absorption proportional to Mana consumed, and deal Lei attribute damage to surrounding targets (controllable), 5% chance to paralyze.

Duration: 30 seconds!

Cooldown: 15 seconds!

Eternal Effect: Each skill level-up allows you to select one skill to share Lei ability.

Current Available Uses: 1!

"Awesome!!"

For such a skill, Luo Chenyu could think of no other word to describe it.

The first shared object? None other than 【Steel Shield】!

With a thought.

Shared bond established.

【Prompt: Your skill 【Eternal·Lightning Barrier】 has been praised by you and is extremely excited—it requests the items needed for its upgrade to help it level up!】

【Prompt: Your skill 【Steel Shield】 has developed great fondness for your skill 【Eternal·Lightning Barrier】 and intends to take him as a subordinate, but is rejected and hides behind your skill 【Protection of the Life Goddess】!】

【Prompt: Your skill 【Protection of the Life Goddess】 feels jealous that you granted the sharing ability to 【Steel Shield】—her mood is deeply low!】

Luo Chenyu ignored the voices in his mind.

His gaze was now utterly fixed on the 【Steel Shield】 on his person.

Thin strands of purple lightning flickered across it.

Giving the ordinary shield a touch of mystic effect.

So cool!!

Luo Chenyu left the trial space, fully satisfied.

When he reappeared in the valley, 【Eternal Tower】 reverted to Bai Guang and plunged into the 【Eternal Token】.

And the 【Eternal Token】 vanished directly into Luo Chenyu's space backpack.

"What the hell… again?"

Luo Chenyu was stunned.

The 【Eternal Token】 had become an arcane mark on his chest—and vanished in an instant.

"々｀ Ding! Special Item 【Eternal Token】 has officially recognized its master!!"

Immediately, countless pieces of information flooded Luo Chenyu's mind.

Luo Chenyu fell silent.

The so-called 【Eternal Token】 was not an item from "the game," but from another mysterious place called 【Eternal Sacred Domain】.

Its purpose was to select prodigies through 【Eternal Trials】 to participate in 【Eternal Arena】.

Moreover…

Subsequent trials could unlock other miraculous functions.

What those functions were, only after passing the trials could he learn.

【Eternal Arena】 was the competition where these trial-passing prodigies competed; each victory granted a certain amount of 【Eternal Arena】 points, usable to strengthen oneself or exchange for good items in the shop.

【Eternal Arena】 had many modes.

For example: sparring, duels, death matches, matchmaking…

Its mechanics were extremely complex, and Luo Chenyu had not yet figured them out.

But he now understood why 【Lord Flame Demon】 had told him to wait until he entered 【Eternal Arena】.
