Chapter 3171: Killing Precept (Revised)

Overall, the treatment went smoothly. After Su Xiao left the Hairpin King's exclusive room, he headed straight for the Skill Upgrade Hall. He was carrying a huge sum of money this time.

Half an hour later, Su Xiao arrived at the Skill Upgrade Hall. He walked to the innermost side and entered a skill upgrade chamber.

【Skill upgrade chamber activated, please select the skill you need to improve.】

Su Xiao closed the prompt. He wanted to consume the 8 Golden Skill Points he obtained first. If he invested them in the Green Shadow King, he could upgrade it to Lv. 34. He did not do that. This time, he wanted to improve abilities like the Devouring Core and Slaughter Shadow.

The reason Su Xiao wanted to improve the Devouring Core was that after absorbing the 【First Generation Finger Bone】 last time, he discovered that the 【First Generation Relic Bone】 could actually increase the upper limit of the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying's ability. As a price, the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying required more high-level active energy.

Su Xiao had encountered enemies capable of devouring energy, but there were actually not many. They were basically incarnations of gods from kind or neutral factions.

His idea was that since there are few opportunities to devour energy, he should look for problems within himself. As long as the Devouring Core is improved, whenever he encounters an opportunity in the future, he will surely be able to devour a large amount of high-level active energy, thereby increasing the level of the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying.

Su Xiao opened the skill list and checked the level of the Devouring Core, which was Lv. MAX++. In most cases, the abilities of the Demon-Exterminating Shadow break through the upper limit six or seven times to reach the absolute limit. For example, the Spirit Shadow Constitution broke through the limit six times at Lv. MAX. The Dragon Shadow Flash is even stronger, with a current level of Lv. MAX+++++++.

Su Xiao sensed the Devouring Core within his body. Located in his heart is an energized Devouring Core. In fact, the Devouring Core itself is also a type of protective ability.

The structure of the Devouring Core is still as precise as ever, looking dazzling. Su Xiao concentrated his spirit and began to consume Golden Skill Points to improve the Devouring Core. This time, he wanted to do it once and for all. With 8 Golden Skill Points in hand, he would first improve the Devouring Core to the limit, and then consider others.

With a burst of energy emitting golden light entering Su Xiao's body and rushing into the Devouring Core, he immediately felt that the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy in his body was almost about to go out of control, all rushing toward the Devouring Core to further perfect it.

Because Su Xiao used Golden Skill Points to improve the Devouring Core, when the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy in his body was less than 10 points, blue water mist filled the skill upgrade chamber, and Su Xiao's mana began to recover at a rate of 5% per second.

Mana recovery -> Mana converted into Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy -> Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy absorbed by the Devouring Core -> The structure of the Devouring Core becomes more precise and more stable.

This process was repeated constantly. After Su Xiao's mana upper limit of 38,337 points was consumed dozens of times, the improvement of the Devouring Core stopped.

At this moment, the Devouring Core located in Su Xiao's heart was emitting wisps of black-blue smoke. This smoke was absorbed by Su Xiao's heart. He did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt his heart was more resilient and more vibrant.

That's right, the Devouring Core in Su Xiao's heart, starting from his heart, uses its unique energy to improve all of Su Xiao's internal organs. This improvement is very small, but if it lasts for a long time, this improvement becomes very considerable. It is important to know that this is a 24-hour non-stop improvement.

Su Xiao checked the remaining Golden Skill Points. He also wanted to improve Slaughter Shadow.

【Current Golden Skill Points: 0 points.】

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao realized the situation was not simple. He had just prepared to push the Devouring Core to the limit. It had indeed reached the limit, but it consumed a full 8 Golden Skill Points. Could it be that the Devouring Core reached Lv. MAX++++++++++?

【Devouring Core: Lv. EX (Active Skill).】

Skill effect: Can absorb high-level biological energy to nourish Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy, and increase the level and strength of the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability based on the level and quality of the absorbed energy.

Passive effect 1: Filter energy purity +76%.

Passive effect 2: Energy absorption speed increased by 3.2 times.

Passive effect 3: Devouring Core energy storage upper limit increased by 800%.

Passive effect 4: When absorbing high-level biological energy, it will apply an energy paralysis effect to the enemy (this paralysis effect has priority, but can only be triggered when absorbing high-level biological energy).

Passive effect 5: After the Devouring Core is fully opened, it will temporarily obtain biological energy insight vision, and the gaze can penetrate barriers, screens, different spaces, space cracks, dreams, boundary walls, illusions, etc.

As Su Xiao estimated, the Devouring Core will not directly improve combat power, but will improve the growth speed of strength. The Devouring Core's insight vision is very good. Not to mention anything else, when capturing the Goddess of Fate soon, this ability will definitely be of great use.

The Golden Skill Points were exhausted. Su Xiao took out a scroll from the storage space. It was Basic Passive: Spirit Resilience. He could be sure that the consumption of improving this kind of basic passive is very high. This ability must be mastered. The question is when to master it.

Basic Passive: Spirit Resilience mainly improves soul damage and soul energy rank. Su Xiao does not need the latter yet, at least not urgently.

Regarding the improvement of soul damage, Su Xiao estimated that before investing massive resources into Basic Passive: Spirit Resilience, the soul damage improved by this ability would not be considerable.

The importance of this ability in the later stage is likely equivalent to Technique Sublimation. The problem right now is that the combat power improvement brought by improving the Technique Sublimation ability completely crushes Basic Passive: Spirit Resilience by I don't know how many streets.

Assuming that improving Technique Sublimation by 1 level can improve Su Xiao's combat power by 300 points, then improving Basic Passive: Spirit Resilience by 1 level would be good if it could improve his combat power by 0.5 points. As for developing this ability, there are not enough resources right now.

Thinking this through, Su Xiao put away Basic Passive: Spirit Resilience. This will definitely be a "glutton" in the future. For now, throw it into the storage space and develop Technique Sublimation first.

Although he would not develop Basic Passive: Spirit Resilience for now, Su Xiao prepared to develop a new technique-type ability. The number of Soul Crystals (Complete) obtained was overflowing. Selling this resource, even at a high price, felt like a loss.

Su Xiao considered War Scythe Mastery, Spear Mastery, Sword Mastery, etc. After careful consideration, he decided to develop Firearms Master.

Su Xiao is not completely ignorant of War Scythe Mastery, Spear Mastery, Sword Mastery, etc. He is a Sword Art Grandmaster Lv. 60. After melee techniques reach a profound level, even if he does not master other melee-type techniques, he can still use those types of melee weapons.

For example, when Su Xiao fought the Supreme Insect, he held the Dragon Flash in his right hand and the Blood Spear in his left, suppressing the Supreme Insect until it was a bit confused.

It is not that Su Xiao is bragging, but even if he were given only a long spear to fight a Spear Master Lv. MAX, he could pick the other party's skull. The reason is that he is not just a Sword Art Grandmaster, he is also a Melee Grandmaster Lv. 58.

With Sword Art Grandmaster Lv. 60 + Melee Grandmaster Lv. 58 as a foundation, Su Xiao has no problem using the Blood Spear as a secondary weapon in the short term.

In contrast, even if Su Xiao's Sword Art Grandmaster and Melee Grandmaster were high enough to break the sky, his Firearms Master Lv. 5 would always be Lv. 5, not benefiting at all. This is not even cross-channel; this is cross-server.

Su Xiao has a plan: first push Firearms Master to Firearms Grandmaster, then get an Immortal-level sniper cannon, preferably reinforced +10 or higher, and finally wear the 【Ancient Killing Precept (Holy Spirit-level Ring)】.

【Ancient Killing Precept】

Quality: Holy Spirit-level

Category: Ring

Durability: 1/1 (The durability consumed by wearing and using is extremely low, extremely fragile when bearing attacks, weak to all characteristic attacks).

Equipment requirement: None

Equipment effect 1: Precision (Passive, Unique), Basic Nerve Reflex Speed +12 points, Basic Dynamic Vision +12 points...

Equipment effect 2: Weakness Slaughter (Passive), when attacking enemies from a distance, it will trigger Hill's soul power to continuously bless the long-range attack (blessing bullets, arrows, etc.).

Tip: If the long-range attack hits the enemy's vital point, the damage caused to the vital point will be increased by 4.72~6.32 times (depending on the chosen vital point position; the head is the highest priority, followed by the neck, heart, and other parts).

Equipment effect 3: Fragile (Passive), extremely easy to break. Because the internal structure is too precise and it is an equipment formed by multiple coincidences, once this equipment is broken, it cannot be repaired by any means.

Rating: 1000++ (Holy Spirit-level quality equipment rating is 700~1000 points).

If one were even more devilish, one could buy a few expensive but terrifyingly powerful bullets. With these bonuses stacked together, one shot to the enemy's skull, even if it is a Tier 8 top heavy tank system, one shot and they go "aba aba", two shots and they die on the spot. ===== CHAPTER 3172 =====
