Chapter 2974

The reward derived from reaching 200 points in Real Strength did not make Su Xiao hesitate; he chose reward (d), "Undying Shadow."

Undying Shadow is an attribute reward derived from the Spirit Shadow Constitution. The effect of the Spirit Shadow Constitution is to integrate mana into all parts of the body, achieving resonance with the body to increase health points equivalent to the mana value.

Undying Shadow performs a secondary derivation on this foundation. After Su Xiao consumes a certain amount of mana, his life force will appear highly activated, thereby increasing his health recovery speed. In simple terms, for every 10% of mana consumed, he recovers 10% of his health over the following 5 seconds.

Of course, this recovery does not come from nothing; it consumes his cellular energy. When the cellular energy is exhausted, he will become physically exhausted. Su Xiao can accept this point.

On a chaotic battlefield, for every enemy of the same rank he kills, he can forcibly absorb the soul energy before the enemy dies through the characteristics of the Green Steel Shadow, converting the active soul energy into mana to recover himself. Combined with the Undying Shadow ability, this means Su Xiao can fight until he is exhausted and dies.

Su Xiao had just finished his selection when he felt the activity of his life force constantly increasing. This put no small burden on his body, and this process lasted for more than ten minutes before subsiding, with all parts of his body returning to normal.

【Real Agility attribute has reached 200 points (naked). The Hunter may choose one of the following rewards.】

a. Hidden Walker: The rank of all stealth-type abilities +1.

b. Basic Potential Activation · Lightning Characteristic (Rare Reward): Permanently grants the body lightning characteristics.

c. Basic Potential Activation · Swift Characteristic (Rare Reward): For every 1 point of Real Agility attribute increased, the growth of body speed will be additionally increased by 20%.

……

Reward (a) is ignored. Rewards (b) and (c) are somewhat difficult to choose between. Reward (b) is easy to understand, while reward (c) is relatively complex. Su Xiao's body coordination, body speed, etc., all increase as he increases his Agility attribute.

If he chooses reward (c), when he increases his Real Agility attribute, he will get an additional 20% increase in body speed growth on top of the original increase. Simply put, it increases the growth potential of body speed.

The lightning ability suits Su Xiao's fighting style, but there is one point: if he really chooses to obtain the lightning characteristic, he must first find a lightning-type basic skill, which is a basic ability similar to Sword Art Master, so that the lightning ability can grow.

A lightning ability that is not cultivated after being obtained is useless. The initial lightning intensity is equivalent to poking an enemy hard with a stun baton. "Basic Potential Activation · Lightning Characteristic" is a seed; how strong it can be cultivated depends on the person who masters it.

In short, cultivating the lightning ability is very worthwhile, but reaching the level of Sword Art Master will become a major obstacle for Su Xiao. The only problem is that there are no resources.

Sword Art Master, Close Combat Master, Technique Ascension, etc., are all waiting for Su Xiao to upgrade, plus the "Basic Passive · Body Soul" to be mastered later. With so many abilities waiting to be fed, where would there be resources to develop the lightning ability?

If he doesn't cultivate it after obtaining it, it's better not to have it at all. By comparison, reward (b) is stronger than reward (c), but Su Xiao chose reward (c), "Basic Potential Activation · Swift Characteristic," without hesitation, because it does not require any resources, just increasing the Real Agility attribute.

Su Xiao perceived the changes in his body, but felt nothing. This is normal; potential-type improvements are very subtle and will only be felt gradually later.

【Real Stamina attribute has reached 200 points (naked). The Hunter may choose one of the following rewards.】

a. Son of the Earth: When standing on the ground, control effects suffered are significantly reduced. Physical control time is reduced by 30%–85%, and mental/soul/charm control time is reduced by 20%–53%.

b. Overload Healing: After receiving healing abilities, drinking potions, etc., if one's own health reaches 100%, the body will store a certain amount of healing effects. After losing health, the stored healing effects will take effect.

Hint: The body can store a maximum of 1–5 minutes of healing effects, and the upper limit of stored healing effects is determined by the Stamina attribute.

Hint: Storing healing effects carries a certain risk, with a probability of causing life force to go out of control.

c. Bedrock: Permanently gain the blessing of Bedrock Power. If more than 65% of health is lost within 1 second, the body's defense will immediately increase by 1.7 times. For every 1% of health lost thereafter, body defense will be additionally increased by 2 points. This effect lasts for 120 seconds, and will bring about weakness due to physical exhaustion after it ends.

Warning: After entering this weakness stage, all attributes will decrease by 15%.

d. Spatial Adaptation Constitution (Rare Reward): When performing spatial jumps, spatial shuttles, and spatial penetration, one can speed up or slow down this process.

Speed up: The activation speed of spatial jumps, spatial shuttles, and spatial penetration is increased by 25%.

Slow down: During spatial jumps, spatial shuttles, and spatial penetration, one can maintain this state for an additional 0.5 to 1 second.

e. Arrival of Fei (Unique Reward): Can summon the fierce beast Fei through one's own aura to bless oneself.

……

The rewards brought by the Stamina attribute are as numerous as ever. Except for reward (a), the others are very useful.

First, exclude rewards (b) and (c). It is not that these two rewards are not powerful enough; each has its own characteristics, but there are better ones.

Reward (d), "Spatial Adaptation Constitution," is what Su Xiao needs most. He has the Dragon Shadow Flash ability, which can penetrate space. "Spatial Adaptation Constitution" has two characteristics: speeding up the activation speed of spatial penetration and allowing more time to penetrate space.

The former needs no explanation, and the latter is the top priority. Su Xiao often enters the spatial penetration state to avoid enemy attacks.

The advantage of spatial penetration is that it cannot be interrupted. Baha's Demon Eagle Domain is ineffective against Su Xiao. He is not moving within space, but forcibly penetrating through it, and can forcibly penetrate even if sealed.

The disadvantage of Dragon Shadow Flash is that it is uncontrollable. It is not that the movement position is uncontrollable, but that the process of penetration is uncontrollable. At most 1 second, Su Xiao will end the spatial penetration. This is an ability characteristic, not something he can control.

If he has "Spatial Adaptation Constitution," Su Xiao can maintain the spatial penetration state for 2 seconds. During this period, all physical attacks and energy attacks from enemies will be ineffective, passing through his body because he is located in the spatial rift.

Resisting attacks head-on has never been Su Xiao's style. He is not a tank; he is a technique-type. Swiftness, sharpness, ferocity, and strikes aimed directly at vital points are his fighting style.

As for reward (e), "Arrival of Fei," Su Xiao does not consider it at all. He solved the Sword Demon energy a long time ago. Is it wise to actively invite a fierce beast like Fei again? This is very unwise.

After Su Xiao made his choice, spatial fluctuations appeared around him, and his body entered the spatial penetration state. This feeling was already very familiar, but this time the duration of spatial penetration was doubled.

Ending the spatial penetration, Su Xiao found that he gradually adapted to his much stronger body, and it wouldn't be long before he could fully adapt.

【Real Intelligence attribute has reached 200 points (naked). The Hunter may choose one of the following rewards.】

a. Elemental Body: Elemental affinity permanently increased by 25 points (current elemental affinity is 769 points).

b. Super Sense (Rare Reward): Significantly improve perception sharpness and enhance the ability to capture attacks.

c. Heart Meditation · World Resonance (Rare Reward): After entering a meditative state, one can resonate with the surrounding environment, significantly improving the meditation effect.

……

This is very difficult to choose. Su Xiao has been accumulating bonuses in meditation. Long-term meditation has taught him one thing: although meditation can improve sword arts, it is a very long process.

Don't think meditation is useless. Su Xiao has persisted in meditation all along, which has made his heart firmer. For example, when facing a strong enemy, even if he is in a desperate situation, he can calm himself down, judge the current situation, and seek a glimmer of survival.

Apart from this, having a firm heart has many benefits. Su Xiao can completely control his own blood energy and will not become manic in his heart due to slaughter on a tragic battlefield, all because he insists on meditation every day.

If it were in the past, choosing reward (c) would be correct, but this time, reward (b), "Super Sense," is too suitable for Su Xiao. He is a close-combat type. The higher the perception sharpness, the faster the attacks his perception circle can capture.

Su Xiao's faster body speed than ever before, Dragon Shadow Flash ability, crystal layers, and other avoidance or defense abilities all require higher perception sharpness.

After weighing the pros and cons, Su Xiao decided to choose reward (b), "Super Sense," to ensure survival in battle first. There will be plenty of opportunities to accumulate meditation effects later. If he dies in battle, no matter how strong his meditation ability is, it's useless; becoming a corpse means he cannot meditate.

All attribute rewards were selected. Su Xiao felt that after completing the subsequent improvements, he would reach the strength of the upper echelon of the eighth rank. This is the result of accumulation.

The enhancement chamber opened, and Su Xiao walked towards the main entrance of the enhancement hall. He hadn't walked a few steps when he received an email from the undead-type girl he met last time he returned to the Reincarnation Paradise. The content of the email was:

"Are you still buying World Core (Fragments)? 600 Soul Coins per piece? Is that okay? If not, then... 550 Soul Coins per piece?"

Seeing this email, Su Xiao recalled the aura of the undead-type girl and her several permanent summons. Undoubtedly, the undead-type girl was in the top echelon of the eighth rank. In terms of combat, the undead-type girl displayed power and death, with an undead army flattening everything and tearing enemies apart like dry wood.

But once the matter involved Soul Coins, this undead-type girl became inexplicably humble.
