Chapter 184

Spirit Beast Species: Nightmare Beast

Spirit Beast Attribute: Dark-type

Spirit Beast Level: Hall Tier Lv40 Advancement Evolution

Spirit Beast Trait: Night Rogue

Spirit Beast Species Value: 40000

Spirit Beast Affection: 93%

Spirit Beast Skills: Star Darkflame (Passive), Star Shadow Corrosion (Active), Star Shadow Escape (Active), Star Shadow-devouring Poison (Active), Star Silent Darkness (Active), Star Triple Extermination (Active)

Equipment Affix: 【Nightmare (Starlight 10): Attribute Might Increase 60%】

Current Affix Use/Cooldown: 10 minutes/10 minutes

On the advancement page, there are six slots total; compared to before, this advancement requires one more resource than before.

Although this new skill has a very high cooldown, to take effect three times requires delaying over two minutes; in high-level confrontations, the weaker side could be insta-killed several times, but without a doubt, in certain specific situations it can produce unexpected effects.

【Spirit Beast Introduction: Dark-type Spirit Beast Nightmare Beast, evolved from Shadowflame Cat, within its pale skull seal lies the terrifying power of pure darkness.】

Against targets with HP below 20%, Silver Horn can achieve a one-hit kill; using it three consecutive times on the same target, if the opponent's HP is below 90%, they will be instantly killed!

【Star Triple Extermination: Active skill, deals true damage equal to 25% of the target's lost HP to the designated target; on the third use against the same target, deals true damage equal to 90% of the target's max HP; cooldown 60 seconds】

And this is only part of the improvement brought by advancing to Hall Tier.

Compared to breaking through from Growth Tier to Elite Tier, the evolution interface now has more things.

Qin Chuan immediately opened the evolution interface, then showed an expression of surprise.

Silver Horn's new skill once again demonstrates the strength of Hall Tier compared to previous tiers.

True Damage Execute!

After viewing Silver Horn's new skill, Qin Chuan opened the advancement and evolution pages.

【Night's Residual Glow: Epic Resource, is the key material for Hall Tier Nightmare Beast advancement, acquisition method currently unavailable】

Three Hall Tier Lv40 Spirit Beasts combined, his transcendent value easily broke the 100,000 mark, compared to before it increased several-fold.

After level 10, a fully leveled Hall Tier Spirit Beast's species value can reach 40,000.

【Night Shadow Candle Flame: Epic Resource, is the key material for Hall Tier Nightmare Beast advancement, acquisition method currently unavailable】

【Void Black Feather: Epic Resource, is…】

Gazing at the lines of text appearing before him, Qin Chuan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This means that before the update, he was unable to obtain these Epic Resources that are superior to Advanced Resources.

After Hall Tier, each level increase raises the species value by 2500.

After seeing these resource descriptions, Qin Chuan showed an expression that was both surprising and unsurprising.

Six resources, same description.

The first formation is the same as before, nine sockets connected in a circle, with a spot in the middle reserved for equipment crafting stone.

However, this time what needs to be forged is no longer Starlight Equipment.

Rather, it is Halo Equipment.

The second formation is the evolution formation, which has two sockets; one socket already contains Silver Horn's Starlight Equipment, but currently it is in a dim state.

The other socket is empty.

Then comes the third formation, which has only one socket, currently filled with Silver Horn's Starlight Equipment.

Clicking the flashing question mark in the upper-left corner, Qin Chuan quickly understood the method of Hall Tier evolution.

First, need to collect Halo Equipment materials and craft a piece of Halo Equipment.

Second, need to upgrade the original Starlight Equipment to Halo level 1 or higher.

The third formation's purpose lies here.

Players can use 【Equipment Enhancement Stone】 to enhance existing equipment; each success raises the equipment level by 1.

Above Starlight level 10 is Halo level 1.

However, according to the description, equipment enhancement is far more dangerous than equipment crafting.

Because the Starlight Equipment already used for evolution cannot be replaced.

And equipment enhancement has a failure rate.

After failure, there is a 67% chance to retain the original level, and a 33% chance to drop by one level.

And the failure rate of equipment enhancement does not increase with equipment level, but increases with the number of enhancement stones used.

For example, if a Starlight level 9 equipment fails enhancement and drops to level 8, its next enhancement success rate will not increase due to the lower level; instead, it will further decrease because of the increased number of enhancement stones used.

A piece of equipment with low initial Starlight level is very likely unable to be upgraded via crafting to Halo level 1; instead, due to increasing failure rate it may revert to its original level, or even drop lower.

This is completely opposite to the luck value system in ordinary game enhancements.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but glance at the innocent Yue Li beside him.

Fortunately, he probably won't encounter this problem.

Whether it's Halo Equipment materials or enhancement stones, acquisition methods are currently unavailable.

Without a doubt, these are obtainable only after the update.

Qin Chuan casually opened his own panel.

After advancing to Hall Tier, the number of contract slots increased from 3 to 4.

At the same time, the number of active skills one can carry also became 4.

This means he can at most raise his skill to Resonance 4.

He was very much looking forward to it.

"Let's go find the next Hall Crystal." Qin Chuan gently pulled Yue Li's hand, "After we find it, you will also advance today."

According to their original plan, after obtaining a new Hall Crystal this time, the two of them would still need to, just like before, stay thirty zones away before using it again.

But after truly advancing to Hall level and catching a glimpse of the future direction, he changed his mind.

Being able to see so many new things, one can imagine that the scale of this update will be unprecedentedly huge; under these circumstances, wasting another three days would not be worthwhile.

Hall Crystals can be obtained in the future by various means; he still hasn't used the third-day gift of the sundial hand that was refreshed on the first day of the ninth week.

Advancing to Hall level a step earlier and maximizing his strength before any possible crisis arrives is what matters most.

The same goes for him and for Yue Li.

"I'll listen to you." After hearing Qin Chuan's idea, Yue Li's eyes seemed to overflow with a smile; she gave Qin Chuan a deep look, then obediently nodded and agreed.

Moments later, the newly found Hall Crystal was used on Xiao Zi.

Due to a lack of experience gems, Yue Li could only temporarily raise Xiao Qing's level to the max, while Xiao Hong and Xiao Zi remained at Hall Tier Lv30.

However, this temporary state is already enough.

"Luo, you say what the Dream World will be like at this time tomorrow—how wonderful it will be!"

After observing all the changes of Hall level, Yue Li sat on a piece of stone, raised her head to gaze at the cleansed azure sky, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Yeah, I'm also looking forward to it."

Qin Chuan spoke softly, but his gaze fell upon the delicate hand nearby.

He gently placed his hand over hers, then clenched it, while Yue Li only gave a token struggle for a moment before letting him hold her hand.

The girl's cheeks flushed with red clouds, she lightly pursed her cherry lips, yet did not avoid the boy's gaze.

Under the slanting sunlight, their two shadows overlapped.
