Chapter 257: Chapter 112: Fourth Grade! Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect

Just as Lin Yi was sighing at his giant Mosquito Avatar.

[DING!]

A crisp, pleasant system notification chimed in his mind!

[Mosquito Avatar has reached LV 41, unlocking the new skill ’Dharma Aspect’!]

’A new skill unlocked?!’

Lin Yi trembled, his eyes flashing with a brilliant light!

He could hardly wait, pulling up the Mosquito Avatar’s attribute panel and scanning it with a burning gaze—

[Avatar]: Thunderstruck Ghost Mosquito

[Level]: LV 41 (Fourth Grade).

[Experience Points]: 0/1000.

[Skills]: Blood Sucking (First Limit Break), Paralysis (First Limit Break), Thunder Escape (First Limit Break), Concealment (First Limit Break), Tracking (First Limit Break), Iron Body LV 4 (21/400), Thunderstrike LV 6 (31/600), Thunder Slash LV 5 (11/500), Dharma Aspect LV 1 (0/100).

After ten days of frenzied hunting.

In the process of constantly searching for and tracking prey.

The Mosquito Avatar’s [Tracking] skill had long since reached max level and successfully undergone a limit break.

Now, after its first limit break, the Tracking skill’s scanning range had once again been terrifyingly amplified, its radius reaching an astonishing twenty kilometers!

Lin Yi’s gaze instantly locked onto the new skill—

[Dharma Aspect LV 1]!

He eagerly read the skill description:

[Dharma Aspect LV 1 (1/100)]: Freely control your body size, allowing for significant shrinking! The smaller the body, the more terrifyingly condensed its internal power becomes, and its Defense Power skyrockets accordingly! The amplification effect increases as the skill level rises!

HISS!

The moment he finished reading the skill description.

Lin Yi sucked in a cold breath!

’A Divine Skill!’

’This is definitely a heaven-defying Divine Skill!’

Not only did this solve his biggest headache—the issue of concealment.

It allowed the Mosquito Avatar’s body to become tiny once more.

More importantly.

The core of this skill was the principle that "concentration is the essence"!

When its body shrank, its power didn’t decrease. Instead, it underwent a qualitative change through compression, becoming even stronger and more condensed!

Its Defense Power would even increase exponentially!

It was practically tailor-made for the Mosquito Avatar in its current state!

’Heaven is on my side! This skill came at the perfect time! It’s a godsend!’

Lin Yi was ecstatic.

His previous worries vanished into thin air, replaced by an indescribable euphoria.

’I was just worrying about this big guy being inconvenient to move and too large a target. This ’Dharma Aspect’ is a true lifesaver!’

’Let’s see how effective it is! How much will it amplify my power!’

His thoughts raced.

He immediately had the Mosquito Avatar activate its new skill—[Dharma Aspect]!

BUZZ!

A strange energy wave rippled out from the Mosquito Avatar, as if space itself had slightly distorted.

Immediately after.

Under Lin Yi’s shocked gaze.

The massive, three-meter-tall body, which resembled a steel behemoth, began to shrink rapidly before his very eyes!

Three meters... two meters... one meter... half a meter...

Its speed increased!

In the blink of an eye!

The behemoth that had been so terrifyingly imposing just a moment ago had vanished.

In its place was only a tiny, almost imperceptible black dot hovering in mid-air!

Looking closely.

One could barely make out that it was a minuscule mosquito, only one centimeter long!

If Lin Yi wasn’t mentally connected to it, he would have had a hard time even noticing its existence!

’It can shrink down to one centimeter! Excellent!’

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes.

’Attack! Let’s test its power!’

He controlled the Mosquito Avatar, now shrunk to its limit, and like an imperceptible black bolt of lightning, it shot toward a nearby piece of hard mountain rock that was half a person’s height!

There was no earth-shattering roar, only an extremely faint, yet incredibly solid, thud.

PFFT! CRACK!

The next moment!

A scene that left Lin Yi dumbfounded occurred!

The hard mountain rock, starting from the point where the mosquito’s forelimb struck, was instantly covered in a spiderweb of cracks!

Immediately after.

As if struck by a bomb detonating from within.

With a loud BOOM, the entire rock actually exploded!

Shattered stones flew in all directions like bullets, and dust filled the air!

’This power...’

’It’s increased! At least doubled! No, maybe even more! And this is only LV 1 Dharma Aspect!’

Lin Yi’s heart pounded wildly, a huge wave of joyous surprise washing over him.

Its power had doubled!

What about its Defense Power?

And its speed?

He immediately had the avatar perform high-speed movement and minor impact tests. The results were just as exhilarating—

Its Defense Power and speed had also received a terrifying boost of nearly double!

’It’s too strong! This skill’s improvement to combat power is completely comprehensive! It’s a qualitative leap!’

Lin Yi was so excited he could barely contain himself, as if he had just discovered a massive treasure trove.

’And this is only LV 1! If I get it to the max level of LV 10... wouldn’t the boost reach ten times? Or even higher?!’

He re-examined the inconspicuous little black dot before him, his heart swelling with pride and ambition.

The Mosquito Avatar’s strength was simply too immense now!

Its Concealment skill allowed it to blend perfectly into its surroundings, like a true Ghost!

Thunder Escape granted it superb movement speed, letting it come and go like a flash of lightning!

Thunderstrike and Thunder Slash provided powerful Thunder Element attack methods!

And now, with the addition of the miraculous ’Dharma Aspect’...

Its body shrinks, while its power, defense, and speed explode!

It’s a perfect union of offense and defense, appearing and disappearing like a phantom!

’Fourth Grade? No! With the Mosquito Avatar’s current comprehensive combat power, combined with this Divine Skill, I feel... I could even face a Fifth Grade Realm human Martial Artist and have a fighting chance. I might even be able to defeat and crush them!’

’Return!’

With a thought.

The small black dot hovering in the air vanished instantly.

The next moment.

Lin Yi felt a slight weight settle on his shoulder, as if a feather had just landed.
