Chapter 125: You're Not Going to Inherit the Divine Throne, Yet You Specifically Came to the Seaside to Welcome Me!?

After seeing the skill books Phoenix brought out, Lu Zheng was certain his choice had been incomparably correct.

Such fine things—if he didn't master them and instead let them go to waste like this, it would truly be an outrageous squandering of heavenly treasures!

From among all the skill books, he directly selected three skills.

Every single one was a Divine Skill!

【Skill Book: Life Channel】

【Effect: Minimum cost of 10,000 points of magic power. Cast on two targets, creating a Life Channel. The vitality of the two targets is shared. Unless the vitality of all connected targets is completely exhausted, health automatically moves toward the lower side.】

【Learning Requirement: Mental power value greater than 10,000 points】

At first glance, this seemed like a Divine Skill similar to the previously obtained "Bridge of Magic Power" skill.

Shared vitality—all summon beasts sharing vitality could absolutely be considered a powerful life-saving skill.

After all, Lu Zheng had enough summon beasts.

And there would be even more in the future.

As long as the quantity increased and the levels rose, the vitality provided would be massive.

But Lu Zheng spotted at a glance that this skill had an even more explosive use.

That was to life-link a high-defense high-level monster with a low-defense low-level monster. This way, one only needed to continuously deal damage to the low-level monster to inflict massive health loss on a powerful single entity! Moreover, this Life Channel could completely be built with a hundred or even more channels.

Link one monster's vitality to a hundred or even a thousand low-level monsters.

One only needed to whittle down the low-level monsters to rapidly empty a high-level monster's health! However, this skill, like "Bridge of Magic Power," both had a minimum magic power cost, which meant the more magic power consumed, the greater the power.

For non-attack skills, greater power meant there was a success rate issue.

To share magic power or vitality with a powerful target, the other party had to be willing!

Otherwise, one would have to expend a massive amount of magic power to increase the skill's power.

This was also why Lu Zheng had never used the "Bridge of Magic Power" skill to link with enemies before.

After all, his opponents were too strong.

And the greatest distinguishing feature between the Bridge of Magic Power skill and the Life Channel skill was this:

The latter had the side with higher health passively giving vitality to the side with lower health.

While the former allowed the side with a higher magic power cap to actively plunder magic power from the side with a lower magic power cap.

If Lu Zheng linked with those True Gods, it would be equivalent to giving his own magic power to the enemy!

The first skill selected was already this explosive, so the other two skills were naturally not bad either.

【Skill Book: Vampiric Aura】

【Effect: Minimum cost of 10,000 points of magic power. Cast on a single target. Under the aura state, every instance of damage dealt to the target creates a life steal effect, minimum 5% of the damage value.】

【Learning Requirement: Constitution value greater than 100,000 points】

Without a doubt, this was another Divine Skill.

Dealing damage to enemies allowed oneself to recover health.

Theoretically, by continuously dealing damage, one could become immortal.

A single attack's damage only converted 5% of its energy into health, but dealing damage multiple times could still let oneself recover a considerable amount of health.

Furthermore, the skill's effect could continue to be enhanced.

One only needed to inject more magic power, and the created Vampiric Aura could convert more health.

Moreover, when this skill was combined with "Life Channel," it could allow all summon beasts to rapidly receive vitality replenishment! If used together in a large-scale battle, the two were invincible.

Add in the previously mastered "Critical Strike Aura" and "Lucky Aura," which directly increased damage values and created more life steal effects.

This was simply perfect! But if the third skill Lu Zheng found was added as well, then it would be even more perfect.

【Skill Book: Divine Power Blessing】 【Effect: Minimum cost of 10,000 points of magic power. Cast on a single target, granting the target's four-dimensional base attributes a divine power amplification, minimum amplification effect of 1%.】

【Learning Requirement: Mental power value greater than 100,000 points】

A pure amplification-type skill that consumed magic power to increase base attributes.

One only needed 10,000 points of magic power to amplify by 1%.

Don't underestimate this one percent—after all, it was a divine power amplification effect.

A 1% amplification to all attributes absolutely increased combat power by more than 5%.

And if a billion points of magic power were poured in, the amplification effect would become even more remarkable.

This skill could clearly be stacked and used together with one's own amplification-type abilities.

For example, after Taotie activated the "Dharma Avatar of Heaven and Earth" skill, gaining even a 1% amplification again would still be an enormous increase in combat power.

It could very well be the key to deciding victory or defeat!

Three great Divine Skills: Life Channel, Vampiric Aura, Divine Power Blessing.

He had only come to complete a Job Change Quest, and besides conveniently obtaining a pile of equipment, he had also gained these three great Divine Skills.

Lu Zheng felt exceptionally pleased! After learning and mastering all these skills, Lu Zheng felt he could go and start the next Job Change Quest.

Learning skills was currently the only way he could raise his combat power ceiling.

Adding another five or six divine pets would not bring too great a change to the increase in combat power.

After all, the level cap of his summon beasts was currently locked by himself.

He had to wait until he leveled up first before the summon beasts could continue to raise their levels.

Leaving Dragon Valley.

Naturally, bringing along a whole band of dragons.

Lu Zheng didn't bring out all the dragons, though.

Phoenix still remained in Dragon Valley. Apart from that, one Mid God, ten Lower Gods, and a thousand demigod-level dragons were all brought out by Lu Zheng.

Over a thousand dragons, among which eleven incomparably massive dragons, landed from the sea.

Such a scene put the entire Daxia Alliance on high alert.

Xuanyuan Wuji, Xue Feihua, and the others came over, watching the approaching giant dragon clan, their expressions turning solemn.

"Don't worry, once out of Dragon Valley, even a giant dragon can only be suppressed to level five hundred."

Xue Feihua whispered comfort, hoping that Xuanyuan Wuji beside her would not be too anxious.

Xuanyuan Wuji said in a deep voice: "Any news of that brat Lu Zheng?"

Xue Feihua shook her head and said:

"He went out to sea, saying he was going to complete a mission, but we don't know exactly what mission."

Suddenly, she widened her eyes and pointed at the head of the largest giant dragon by the sea.

"Look! Lu Zheng is right there!"

As a Lower True God, her perception of divine-level power is still quite accurate.

Lu Zheng was actually standing on the head of a Mid God–level giant dragon! As the distance closed, the others also confirmed that what they saw was not a dream.

The giant dragon army that had them on high alert was actually being driven by Lu Zheng to come before them.

Seeing everyone come to greet him, Lu Zheng exclaimed in surprise: "You didn't go to inherit the god position, but instead came specially to the sea to welcome me!? Perfect, I'll leave these giant dragons for you to arrange."

Thanks for the support! (End of chapter)
