Chapter 368

"Upgrade."

【You have chosen to upgrade Six Styles · Shave Lv. 3, and have spent 2,000 Paradise Coins.】

After Su Xiao pays the Paradise Coins, the surroundings turn pitch black, and a human figure made of white light appears in front.

That figure's body is low-slung, performing a very standard Shave. The figure's body is semi-transparent, and when force is applied, a red energy emerges within the figure's body, which allows Su Xiao to clearly see the transmission of force.

Not only is there a demonstration by the figure, but knowledge about Shave also pours into Su Xiao's mind, and his understanding of Shave improves rapidly.

Ten minutes later, the surrounding darkness disappears.

【Six Styles · Shave has been upgraded to Lv. 4.】

The change from upgrading a skill by one level is not obvious. Su Xiao obtained a total of 76,864 Paradise Coins in the One Piece world, and he decides to upgrade Shave to the maximum level to see if any changes occur.

If nothing goes wrong, Shave should undergo some kind of qualitative change after reaching the maximum level.

Paying the Paradise Coins, the level of Shave increases rapidly.

【Six Styles · Shave has been upgraded to Lv. 5.】

【Six Styles · Shave has been upgraded to Lv. 6.】

【Six Styles · Shave has been upgraded to Lv. 7.】

……

Paradise Coins decrease rapidly. Su Xiao's heart aches, but he wants to upgrade Shave to the maximum level, so he will have a means to approach enemies quickly.

Two hours later, Su Xiao's face is dark; the maximum level of Shave is somewhat beyond his imagination.

【Six Styles · Shave has been upgraded to Lv. 11.】

【Six Styles · Shave has been upgraded to Lv. 12.】

【Six Styles · Shave has been upgraded to Lv. 13.】

……

The level of Shave is increasing, and Su Xiao's understanding of Shave is becoming deeper and deeper, as if he has been practicing for more than ten years.

【Six Styles · Shave has been upgraded to Lv. 20!】

【Six Styles · Shave has been upgraded to the maximum level. Obtained additional reward. The Hunter can choose one of the following options.】

1. Overload: Shorten the interval of using Shave, Shave's movement speed reduced by 40%.

2. Free Running: Reduce the impact of harsh terrain on Shave when using it.

3. Rapid Walker: Reduce casting time by 50%, Shave's movement speed increased by 300%, usage interval increased by 3000%.

Three options, three different directions of development. The first one has a short interval, but Shave's movement speed is slow; this is very suitable for long-range Qiyuezhe to use for running away.

The second one is to ignore terrain when using Shave, such as in forests or mountains.

The third one is very controversial; the enhancement is obvious, but the weakening is also equally obvious.

Speeding up the casting time by 50% makes Shave more unexpected, and the 300% increase in movement speed makes Shave's speed even more terrifying.

But the last point makes Su Xiao hesitate a bit, and that is the 3000% increase in usage interval.

If calculated according to the current situation, after a 3000% increase, he can probably use Shave once every ten minutes.

Two choices are placed before him: choose to use it continuously while reducing Shave's movement speed, or enhance Shave to the extreme while sacrificing the usage interval.

After hesitating for a long time, Su Xiao chooses the third one, Rapid Walker.

【You have chosen "Rapid Walker," Six Styles · Shave has undergone corresponding changes.】

Although this will lead to a longer usage interval for Shave, Su Xiao's purpose in learning Shave is not to use it to jump around in combat; that is not his fighting style.

His main purpose in learning Shave is to quickly approach enemies. As long as he can get close to the enemy, things will be easy to handle.

Checking the attributes of Shave, the Shave upgraded to Lv. 20 has undergone huge changes.

【Six Styles · Shave: Lv. 20 (Active Skill)】

Skill Effect: Move forward at ultra-high speed for 2–50 meters, during which the movement speed reaches the maximum value the body can withstand.

Hint: Each use of Shave will consume 50 points of Stamina, cooldown time is ten minutes.

Hint: You can correct the direction or stop during movement.

……

Leaving the skill upgrade chamber, Su Xiao looks at the gate of the Skill Upgrade Hall.

"Shave."

With a swoosh, the surrounding Qiyuezhe only feel a black shadow flash past them; they can't see Su Xiao's figure at all.

Standing outside the Skill Upgrade Hall, Su Xiao is very satisfied with Shave.

The activation time is short, and the speed is extremely fast. His dynamic vision can barely keep up. If he uses this move to approach a mage, the mage won't be able to react at all.

So far, Su Xiao can be called a mage killer. If he encounters a mage in the future, he will just rush up and slash them. I believe those mages will definitely be stunned, but the premise of all this is that the two sides are hostile; he is not someone who slashes people randomly for no reason.

Returning to the exclusive room, Su Xiao still has many things to do. He takes out several Soul Crystals and the 【Great Swordsman's Sword Technique Insights】.

First, picking up a Soul Crystal (Small), Su Xiao wants to upgrade the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying ability.

Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying has reached Lv. 9. He had a premonition before that after Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying reaches Lv. 10, there should be no small changes.

A Soul Crystal (Small) shatters in his hand, and at the same time, Su Xiao spends 1,000 Paradise Coins.

【Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying has been upgraded to Lv. 10!】

【Because Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying has reached Lv. 10, the ability "Controller" is unlocked.】

Su Xiao doesn't look at the Reincarnation Paradise's prompt for the time being; the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy in his body is changing rapidly.

After enhancing attributes, his Mana has 893 points. In less than three seconds, his Mana is exhausted, all converted into Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy.

The Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy circulates in Su Xiao's body. These energies quickly concentrate together and are compressed in a special way.

Excruciating pain comes from his chest. Su Xiao presses one hand on his chest, his brows tightly locked.

The excruciating pain lasts for half an hour before disappearing. Su Xiao is already covered in cold sweat. When the pain disappears, the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy in his body has decreased by half.

To be precise, the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy hasn't decreased, but has been compressed.

Su Xiao immediately checks the attributes of Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying.

Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying: Lv. 10 (Active Skill)

Usage Condition: After activating (Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying), the Hunter consumes 1–30 points of Mana per minute. The amount of Mana consumption can be freely controlled. It automatically closes after Mana falls below 1%.

Skill Effect: After activating (Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying), each close combat attack will burn 5–50 points of the enemy's Mana and cause an equal amount of True Damage. The enemy will suffer intense pain after the Mana burn. (The amount of enemy Mana burned and the True Damage caused depend on the Mana the Hunter consumes per minute.)

Hint: If the Hunter activates (Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying) consuming 30 points of Mana per minute, the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy circulation will reach its peak. After maintaining the peak for 10 minutes, the Hunter will obtain the Mana Burst effect, and the next attack will cause True Damage to the enemy equal to 60% of the enemy's consumed Mana. (For example, if the enemy has consumed 100 points of Mana, it will cause 60 points of True Damage to the enemy.)

Hint: The cooldown time for Mana Burst is 48 hours.

……

Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying can be said to have taken on a new look. The power can be freely controlled. More importantly, after Su Xiao activates Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying at full power for ten minutes, he will obtain the Mana Burst effect. That slash of his will be very terrifying: Base Attack + Sharpness Damage + Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying Damage + Mana Burst Damage.

If a mage has just fought a battle with an enemy, and Su Xiao happens to have activated Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying to the maximum for ten minutes, that would definitely be a one-slash kill effect; there would absolutely be no need for a second slash.

Feeling his strength increasing rapidly, a look of joy appears on Su Xiao's face. However, Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying is not the main event; the three Soul Crystals (Medium) and the 【Great Swordsman's Sword Technique Insights】 are the main event.
