Chapter 1020: Blind Sister's Talent!
Mang Mei came out after more than half an hour, her score was 556 layers, having cleared a few more layers of the Dungeon Challenge than Zhang Fan.
Her stats are incredibly strong; although she lacks healing methods, as long as she makes good use of the dungeon terrain and keeps distance from the boar men, she can effectively deal damage.
When fighting monsters, she equips a pair of lifesteal divine artifact rings, occasionally replenishes with healing potions; as long as she isn't instantly killed, her chances of success are still fairly good.
If it weren't for the God-tier boss inside the Dungeon Challenge, whose damage is incredibly high, she might have been able to clear a few more layers.
After Mang Mei came out, she returned to the original branch and found Xiao Feng and the others.
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, she exchanged for a 4th-rank Talent Pearl and ate it on the spot.
"You must eat something to gain a powerful talent!" Xiao Feng encouraged.
... although the encouragement wasn't of much use.
Mang Mei didn't speak, but her clenched fists showed how nervous she was.
If she doesn't get a good talent this time, she still won't be able to help Xiao Feng much.
Given her temperament, she will surely feel upset and secretly hide away to cry.
Purple light swirled, and half a minute passed quickly.
"Has the talent come out? Hurry up and share it so we can take a look!" Xing Yun Miao said, somewhat impatient.
Everyone was full of anticipation.
Mang Mei's knuckles turned white from gripping; upon hearing "After you awaken the xxxx talent," she nervously opened her panel to check the effect.
Then, she froze slightly.
That expression—it was unclear whether she was dazed because the talent was too poor, or stunned because it was too good.
Dun Dun saw her not speaking, anxious to death, went over and grabbed her slim waist, shaking her vigorously: "Ayaya, don't keep us in suspense—quickly tell everyone!"
"Uh, I..."
Mang Mei came to her senses, seeing everyone's expectant expressions, a hint of joy gradually appeared on her usually quiet face.
Seeing her expression, everyone knew this round was a sure win!
It definitely won't be lacking!
Mang Mei said: "It seems... pretty good."
Saying that, she shared a talent message.
【Perceiving the Weakness】: 4th-rank Talent; after entering combat state, automatically perceives the enemy's weak point position; hitting the weak point ignores all of the enemy's defense attributes (cannot ignore damage reduction from defense skills); if the enemy has not detected your attack, it will definitely deal a lethal effect (lethal: deals 10x damage, mutually exclusive with crit, lethal priority higher than crit).
"Holy shit!"
"Is this 'pretty good'? This is damn insanely strong!"
"Ignore all defense attributes? If facing a target with 99.99% damage reduction, wouldn't that be equivalent to Xiao Feng's younger brother having a ten-thousandfold damage boost?"
After seeing the description of this talent, everyone was stunned.
Such a powerful talent, and it's only 4th-rank!
Unscientific!
Xiao Feng was also shocked by Mang Mei's talent, eagerly saying: "Quick quick quick, hit me hit me, let me experience the effect of ignoring all defenses!"
Saying that, he issued a sparring request.
Mang Mei saw everyone's reaction, especially Xiao Feng's; she already had a hint of joy, and instantly became even happier, rarely showing an extremely happy expression, her eyes shining as if she had finally fulfilled her wish.
"Xiao Feng big brother, I..."
She wanted to say that she could finally be of help.
But she was afraid to say it too early, in case the talent's actual effect turned out not to be strong.
So she held back and accepted Xiao Feng's sparring request.
After the 3-second countdown, both saw each other's names turn red, indicating an attackable state.
Li Li shouted loudly: "Mang Mei! Shoot Old Xiao to death! Let him taste your power!"
Xing Yun Miao laughed: "Go ahead and output, try all your skills; we'll heal him, he won't die!"
During sparring, others could provide healing, but normally, for fairness, no one would do that.
Mang Mei felt everyone's expectations, inevitably feeling a bit nervous, afraid of disappointing everyone.
She stepped back to create some distance.
For the Archer profession, if skills are released within 5 meters, damage is reduced by 15%; normally, output is done from at least 20 meters away. After becoming a god, range increases; for safety, one stays as far away as possible.
There are too many people in the Myriad Heavens Tower here, making it inconvenient to keep distance, so this is all we can do.
Xiao Feng saw her distance need, proactively flew up using wind control, retreated 30 meters, and served as a target in midair.
Mang Mei took out the Divine Artifact Bow and said: "Xiao Feng big brother, I'm starting."
She first casually shot an arrow.
【Perceiving the Weakness】 talent only takes effect upon entering combat; with a normal attack hit, she dealt -39,000 crit damage, simultaneously began stacking the weapon's "Consecutive Arrow Momentum" buff, after which the talent started to take effect.
In her field of view, Xiao Feng's body began to show some random "weak points," like shooting at a moving target.
Mang Mei locked onto one of those weak points and fired another normal attack, with very fast attack speed.
Whoosh~
An energy arrow struck Xiao Feng's chest, and high damage numbers popped up.
-416,200,000 (crit)
"Holy shit!"
"Awesome!"
"A normal attack over 400 million? This is so abnormal!"
Everyone was dumbfounded, even Xiao Feng felt it was unbelievable.
His damage reduction was maxed, his defense absurdly high, so Mang Mei's first attack only dealt one ten-thousandth of her actual damage.
After the talent effect was triggered, it naturally achieved the effect of "Ten Thousand Times Amplification".
This is just a normal attack!
The "Linked Arrow Barrage" buff lets each of her normal attacks deal 15% more damage than the previous one, stackable up to 10 times.
The basic attack skill coefficient of a lower-tier god-level archer is around 180%; with her 45.3 million attack power, 240% critical damage, 100% willpower amplification, plus some deepening effects, it's not surprising she can hit this number.
"Let's try another Divine Punishment!" Xiao Feng shouted, eager to see her limit damage.
"Hmm!"
Mang Mei hesitated not, immediately drew her bow and channeled divine power continuously into the Divine Bow.
A brilliant arrow condensed, and after a moment she released it.
Whoosh!
Pfft!
This arrow struck Xiao Feng's throat, which was the opening she saw.
Under the gaze of his teammates, a string of numbers slowly floated up.
-8.262 billion (critical hit)
Everyone: ……
Although I guessed this hit would deal high damage, I never expected it to be this high!
8.2 billion damage?
Even the Wild Boar Man Primordial God in the Dungeon Challenge only has just over 100 billion HP; a dozen or so hits from her would kill it!
This is even with Xiao Feng anticipating her attack on him.
If it were an intentional strike on an unwitting target, it could still trigger a lethal effect!
If it were lethal, it couldn't trigger a critical hit; first subtract from 8.2 billion to 3.4 billion, then multiply by ten… over 34 billion!
Terrifying!
"Lao Xiao, is this your long-lost younger sister? Does she also have Ten Thousand Times Amplification?" Li Li said softly.
Compared to Mang Mei's talent, he feels his own "Self-Sacrifice for Benevolence" is pathetically weak!
"Strong, really strong!"
Xiao Feng gave a thumbs-up, openly showing his admiration for Mang Mei.
Although this damage still couldn't kill him, and might even be fully healed by the "God King's Grace Leg Guard"'s HP recovery effect, Mang Mei's damage still amazed him greatly.
This is only a fourth-stage talent!
The "Insight into Weak Point" talent is actually completely different from his "Divine Might".
Mang Mei's talent locks the lower limit and raises the upper limit tenfold.
He raises the upper limit ten-thousandfold.
Only when facing an enemy with extreme defense attributes can Mang Mei match his output, even exceed it a bit; otherwise he is definitely stronger.
But as a fourth-stage talent, it's already incredibly heaven-defying!
If she could hit a weak point with an area-of-effect skill, that would truly be skyrocketing!
