Chapter 2286

Very strange.

He hadn't done anything to let her down at all.

He'd even given her quite a lot of fashion items before, and there was no situation where he'd wronged her.

But right now, he really did feel this way.

Perhaps… watching her suffer so terribly, yet being powerless to help?

Feeling guilty toward her because of this?

The guilt of standing by and watching?

But I have no choice either.

If I step in, I'll die too.

Not only will I fail to save you, I'll drag myself down with you.

Besides, there's still a large group of women in my territory counting on me…

I have to consider them too.

I really can't afford to get into trouble.

If I step in, it would truly be a meaningless sacrifice.

There's really no need…

I'm not going to watch…

I'm not going to watch what happens next…

This was the only thing Zhao Chi could do.

Zhao Chi silently crawled half a meter backward.

But Shangguan Ting's continuous screams clearly reached Zhao Chi's ears.

Zhao Chi opened the system once again.

【Skill Interface Restored】

Another function has been restored.

But this is useless.

Zhao Chi can use skills right now.

But the problem is that Zhao Chi's skills aren't combat-type, they're support-type.

He can strengthen women to be very powerful, but the problem is there's only Shangguan Ting here, a half-broken woman.

Completely useless.

Moreover, casting skills requires getting close, and with so many enemy grunts and Wing Bats outside, it would be very difficult for Zhao Chi to get through safely.

Even if Shangguan Ting were successfully strengthened, in her current state she wouldn't have much combat power.

Zhao Chi's only combat skill is Lei Guang Art.

It's the lowest-level lightning skill, and Zhao Chi hasn't really used it much lately.

Because it's too weak.

Against weak enemies, it can temporarily paralyze them.

But against slightly stronger enemies, it almost has no paralyzing effect.

Zhao Chi can't possibly rush out and use this Lei Guang Art now, can he?

However, the "Bloodline Enhancement" skill has already been strengthened, and it's an over-limit enhancement.

Now he can finally see the effect.

Then let's take a look first.

【Skill】 Bloodline Enhancement

【Energy】 Bloodline Energy ×10

【Charge】 Absorb the opponent's bloodline energy to charge 1 point.

【Description】 Activate the absorbed bloodline energy, consume 1 point of energy, enter the "Bloodline Enhancement" state.

【Effect】 After "Bloodline Enhancement," gain 100% of the partner's bloodline effects for 30 minutes.

【Over-Limit】 Can consume 10 times the bloodline energy to enter the "Over-Limit · Bloodline Enhancement" state.

【Effect】 After "Over-Limit · Bloodline Enhancement," gain 100% of the partner's bloodline effects, 100% of all attributes, 100% of all branch attributes, and 100% of all talent skills for 100 minutes.

Holy crap…

Seems pretty incredible.

So after using this skill, can he go rescue Shangguan Ting?

Don't act rashly! Don't act rashly…

Calm down.

There's still time.

There's still a little time.

Hurry and confirm…

Must confirm clearly before acting.

Bloodline Enhancement was already very strong to begin with, granting 100% of the partner's bloodline effects.

In other words, after activation, all Taoyuan Race genes, Zhao Chi can temporarily obtain them.

Including the personal genes of bloodline masters like Gu Qing and Qi Yue.

As long as the Taoyuan Race has it, regardless of whose, as long as it's genes and talent abilities, Zhao Chi can obtain them within 30 minutes.

This is no problem.

But having this ability was still absolutely not enough to save Shangguan Ting.

If it was Limit-Break Enhancement...

Besides being able to obtain 100% of all the Taoyou race's genes, could it also grant 100% of all attributes?

Including base attributes and branch attributes?

Whose base attributes?

And whose branch attributes?

He didn't quite understand this, and there were no notes to reference.

Perhaps it was the Taoyou race's attributes?

The Taoyou race's default for every base attribute was 6 points.

Then could Zhao Chi obtain the effect of all attributes +6?

That really would be quite strong.

Combined with Blissful Berserk, it could reach the effect of all attributes +8.

Holy crap...

This move is badass...

But there's also a price.

Limit-Break Enhancement required a full 10 bloodline energy.

10 times the cost.

The cost really wasn't small.

Trading quantity for quality, essentially.

But the duration became longer — a full 100 minutes. With more time, more things could be done. That was a good point.

But...

What was that thing about adding branch attributes?

The Taoyou race didn't have default racial branch attributes.

Some races did have them.

For example, the original elves in the south were born with movement speed and jump bonuses.

Or the original beastfolk in the southeast were also born with attack and special attack bonuses.

But the Taoyou race didn't have any yet.

Perhaps if the Taoyou race gained them later, it would take effect then?

Zhao Chi guessed quickly.

Not necessarily correct, but very reasonable.
