Chapter 954

"Didn't we already look at it… huh? It changed? When did it change? How did you do it!?"

【Talent】Sadistic Tendency

【Grade】C-rank, Growable

【Effect 1】For every 20% damage dealt to an enemy, increase Morale by 1%, up to a maximum of 30%, lasting 30 minutes.

【Effect 2】Can convert HP into 50% spiritual power.

This— what is going on?

Zhuang Ya stared at Zhao Chi in shock.

Zhao Chi gave him a friendly smile.

Zhuang Ya swallowed… Even the effects of a talent can change?

After the change, this talent has no drawbacks left—both effects are good.

And the talent grade has also become C-rank, while still being growable.

If that's the case, then this second effect can also grow?

No, that's not the point!

The point is—why does my little lord have this kind of ability?

This is way too powerful!

No—it's not just powerful… it's a world-shocking ability.

Way too strong…

【Your subordinate Zhuang Ya's sincerity level has already risen to 6: Sincere and True】

Seeing the system notification, Zhao Chi was a little surprised.

Sincerity level went up?

Is it because I used the Three-Life Stone on her?

It can't be because I can transfer data, right?

Zhuang Ya was still staring fixedly at Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi laughed and said, "Now it's my turn to ask you—why are you looking at me like that? Is this talent okay now?"

Zhuang Ya obediently nodded. "The effects are certainly fine—after all, it's a C-rank talent, and it can still grow, so it'll definitely get stronger and stronger. But… it's just that the name is a bit easy to cause a Renwu Society."

Zhao Chi laughed and said, "The name doesn't matter—our talent names are all pretty weird."

"O-oh, is that so? Then it's fine."

Zhuang Ya accepted it.

Talent replacement complete.

"Next, let's start allocating points. Let me see how many enhancement points and skill points you need to add…"

Zhuang Ya is a new hero.

And she's directly a level-20 Intermediate Hero.

【Hero】Zhuang Ya

【Enhancement Points】35

【Hero Points】90

In total there are 35 enhancement points—20 of them come from leveling up, and the remaining 15 are obtained from being a Basic Hero and an Intermediate Hero respectively.

Hero Points are 90, including the 10 points given for advancing to Intermediate Hero. It seems the threshold for Intermediate Hero is 80 points.

Right now Zhao Chi, Gu Qing, and the others all have 100 points—higher.

"Zhuang Ya, do you have any thoughts?"

Zhuang Ya nodded. "Of course. Will you listen to me?"

Zhao Chi laughed and said, "Of course I'll respect your thoughts. Anything can be discussed."

Zhuang Ya blurted out, "Really? Then I want all my enhancement points put into spiritual power, and all my hero points into spiritual pressure."

Zhao Chi nodded. "Wanting to specialize your class's abilities? Not bad! But a single attribute for an Intermediate Hero can only be increased by a maximum of 50 points, so spiritual pressure can go up to 50, and the remaining 40 points need to be added to other attributes."

Zhuang Ya was stunned.

Then she awkwardly said, "I… of course I knew that. I just happened to forget for a moment."

Zhao Chi nodded. "Of course—someone as outstanding as you must know a lot."

Zhuang Ya hadn't expected to be praised even for this.

She couldn't help but laugh. "Ah? Really? Haha."

"Of course!" Zhao Chi said resolutely. "I suggest putting the remaining 20 points into Administration—that'll make your equipment stats stronger and keep you safer. Then add another 20 points into Command, so that if you learn an area-of-effect skill, you can hit more people."

Zhuang Ya nodded in satisfaction. "Sure, I agree!"

"Good, then go ahead and allocate your points like that."

Zhuang Ya waved her hand. "No need—you do it for me."

Zhao Chi smiled, and the point allocation was done.

【Hero】Zhuang Ya

【Enhancement】Spiritual Power +280%

【Stat】Spiritual Power 608

【Command】20

【Martial Arts】0

【Spiritual Pressure】50

【Administration】20

Zhuang Ya's Intelligence is 8 points, base spiritual power is 160 points; after enhancement, it directly became 608 points.

She can now use spiritual techniques many times in a row.

Zhao Chi looked at the only spiritual technique she had learned.

【Fireball】 — a beginner fire-element spiritual technique. Costs 10 points of spiritual power, gathers a fireball with 25 points of attack power in the hand; on hitting an enemy there is a 5% chance to burn the enemy, and a 2% chance to melt armor.

This fireball's attack power is 25 points.

An iron saber's attack power is 24 points, an iron bow's is 10 points.

In other words, one fireball's attack is equivalent to one saber slash, or 2.5 arrows.

Iron armor and iron shields both have 26 points of defense; this fireball cannot break through the defense and cannot directly harm the enemy.

A 5% burn chance isn't high, but if it does trigger, it can deal continuous damage to the enemy.

A 2% armor-melt chance is even lower, but if it triggers, it can lower the enemy's metal armor's durability and defense.

Zhuang Ya's spiritual pressure is 50 points, so this fireball's power can also be raised to 37.5 points, about the same as an iron two-handed Phoenix Cry saber's 38 points.

This spiritual pressure likewise raises the burn chance and armor-melt chance to 7.5% and 3%.

Moreover, the Fireball technique's attack range is the same as a bow's — both are 100 meters.

It hits far, and the damage is strong too.

608 points of spiritual power can fire 60 fireballs, which is decent.

After using up her spiritual power, she can also replenish it through medicine and keep fighting for a long time.

In a while she'll go to Zhao Cang's side to see if there are any spiritual technique skill books suited for her.

Zhuang Ya closed her eyes.

She seemed to be feeling her brand-new energy.

After a moment, her beautiful eyes opened: "Ah~ wonderful, I can't wait to go into battle now. Little Zhao Chi, where are our enemies?"

Zhao Chi wasn't quite used to the way she addressed him.

But it looked like, after adding her points, she had become a lot more confident again.

Zhao Chi said, "There are no enemies for now. You can go practice with Tang Ruan and the others — after all, Fireball should need some accuracy practice too, right?"

Zhuang Ya nodded, "Mm… that's right, even excellent people need to practice diligently. Then I'll go practice now."

At this moment, Gu Qing knocked on the door.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The door was open, but she didn't barge in either.

"Zhuang Ya, may I come in?"

Zhuang Ya was briefly stunned, "Ah? Sure, please come in."

Gu Qing smiled, "How was it, Zhuang Ya? Did my lord finish resetting your talents? Are you satisfied?"
