Chapter 602 - 289: World Settlement! Gold Skill Points! Sequence - Fiery Sun! (2)

Equipment Effect ③: The user additionally gains Resistance against traits of [God]; Abnormal Status Resistance can block Attribute/Resistance reduction and Control Effects from owners of the [God] trait.

The Blood Erosion Tyrant Title was upgraded by half a star, but the only change was an extra 5% damage reduction.

However!

This is a noble 5% damage reduction!

The later the stage, the higher the value of damage reduction; 35% and 40% damage reduction may not look very different, but in actual combat it can easily be the difference between breaking Defense and failing to break Defense. Ye Mingqiu is a top-tier Tank System, and his need for Damage Immunity is huge.

In his normal state, Ye Mingqiu’s tankiness is already absurdly high; ordinary Tier One attacks can hardly break his Defense. After activating [Tyrant Form], the extra 40% Damage Immunity plus the Life Conversion Immunity obtained from the 50% Constitution increase, and Constitution converting into Defense Power, forces the vast majority of Tier One powerhouses to wear a painful mask they can’t ever take off.

Excellent!

"Ding!"

[Prompt: You have received a red envelope in your private messages from Short-tailed Cat]

Short-tailed Cat: [Christmas_Red_Envelope.JPG]

[Divine Monarch has accepted the red envelope]

[You have obtained a Skill Advancement Card]

Short-tailed Cat: Hehe!

Short-tailed Cat: Leader, Leader, I got third place. I’m giving this Skill Advancement Card to you and the vice-leader. Thanks for your help! Thank you!

Divine Monarch: Mn.

A gratified smile appeared on Ye Mingqiu’s face. This Short-tailed Cat kid was very sensible; she actually took the initiative to hand over her own Skill Advancement Card. One should know Skill Advancement Cards are fairly rare; without special channels, they’re not easy to get.

The logic of the points ranking is:

Survivors ＞ Eliminated

High points ＞ Low points

Although Short-tailed Cat didn’t obtain any points, everyone else was directly eliminated; no matter how high the eliminated ones’ points were, they could not surpass a survivor.

After all, they only managed to claw their way back to life by relying on life-saving items. Without those, these eliminated ones would have died outright; the fact that they’re still allowed to participate in the rankings after elimination is already very generous.

Compete using points in the normal way?

No way!

So, since everyone else had been taken out by Ye Mingqiu and Tang Ruobing, the only three survivors, including Short-tailed Cat, naturally made her the third place, rewarding her with two Skill Advancement Cards.

It just so happened Ye Mingqiu still had one Skill that hadn’t completed its advancement and just needed one Advancement Card; Short-tailed Cat’s help could truly be called giving charcoal in the snow.

He’d definitely look for her again next time a good thing came up!

Advance!

Among his Skills, the only one not yet Advanced was Furious Pursuit. No need to hesitate—Advance!

[Prompt: Use a Skill Advancement Book on Skill - Furious Pursuit? Yes/No]

[Advancement Requirements: Power ＞ 100, Agility ＞ 100, additional consumption of 50,000 Spiritual Points]

[Furious Pursuit (Active)]

Tier:

[★★★ → ★★★★]

Level: Level 10

Effect: Charge at a designated target; during the charge, speed gradually increases, up to a maximum increase of [75% → 100%]. During acceleration, immune to Slow effects. On impact, additionally deals [0.65 → 0.8] times Power as bonus damage.

Derivative Trait - Blood Fury: When casting this Skill, you can directly consume up to 10% of your Life Limit as Life Value to empower this attack, dealing extra damage equal to the Life Value consumed.

"Hm?"

Ye Mingqiu’s eyes lit up instantly. This Blood Fury Trait was pretty good, most suitable for a weak Spiritualist like him whose Life Limit was sky-high but whose attack power was relatively pathetic.

Nice!

Very nice!

After that, Ye Mingqiu did his usual stroll through the Spirit Realm Mall to sweep up goodies, grabbing 3 Free Attribute Points. As for those Attribute Enhancement Items and Tier One equipment, they were useless to him; he’d just throw them to Tang Ruobing to sell later.

Next....

It was time to use the Gold Skill Point!

A Gold Skill Point is a top-tier rare resource that can induce a Skill’s metamorphosis, with extremely high value!

[Prompt: Confirm use of a Gold Skill Point on Undying Tyrant? Yes/No]

Yes.

Golden power surged out from the Spirit Realm Space and merged into Ye Mingqiu’s body. The golden power brought a sense of qualitative change; he felt as if his body were molting, his Life Force burning like a blazing flame.

[Undying Tyrant (Passive)]

↓

[Undying Tyrant+ (Passive)]

Skill Tier: ★★★★

Skill Level: Level 10

Skill Effect:

①[Limit Breaking Life → Overlimit Life]: Life Limit increased to [175% → 200%], maximum Life increased by [65% → 80%].

② Undying Obsession: Immune to Execute and Instant Death effects; Abnormal Status Resistance increased; Control Effect Resistance increased. When taking a fatal hit, immune to the death effect and restore [35% → 50%] Life Value. Additionally, within 5 seconds, erupt with Life Source Power, becoming immune to 30% of all types of damage. (New)

"So this is metamorphosis?"

Ye Mingqiu muttered softly.

After the metamorphosis, a plus sign was directly added behind the name Undying Tyrant. Although it was just a tiny "+", it still pushed this Skill’s strength up another tier.

Most importantly, this was a strength increase without changing the Star Level. In other words, boosting strength with a Gold Skill Point does not affect the gains from Star Level upgrades; they belong to two separate multiplicative categories of growth.

The value of a Gold Skill Point is insanely high!

Truly worthy of being called a Gold Skill Point!

[Life: 104,979 / 51,209]

At this moment, Ye Mingqiu’s normal-state Life Limit finally broke the hundred-thousand mark, reaching the threshold for his next Talent upgrade.

He took out the Dawn Oath, repaired by the World Will of the Moros World and Hemos, a brilliant smile appearing on his face as he once again opened the Talent Panel page.

① Spiritual Power-Sacred Body (S)

② Spiritual Power - Enchantment (B)+

③ Unparalleled Divine Bravery (S)

④ Sequence-Saintly Radiance (S+)

⑤ Spiritual Power - Yin and Yang (A)

⑥ Extraordinary Divine Body (A+)

⑦+

Add a brand-new Talent!

Panel, show me your limits!

Clutching the Blood Spear and Dawn Oath, Ye Mingqiu allocated the points. Suddenly, dazzling light burst out from the Dawn Oath and wrapped around his body. His consciousness gradually dimmed, and his body began to change, undergoing metamorphosis under the influence of this power.

Within the Spirit Realm Space, a massive golden cocoon, like a sun, formed in a short time. It gave off low, thudding sounds—like a beating heart—its light constant and searing.

After a long while

Cracks appeared on the surface of the giant cocoon, accompanied by crisp shattering sounds. Then, those cracks quickly spread in a short time until they covered the entire cocoon, which exploded apart with a thunderous crash.

A youth radiating golden light stood at the core of the shattered cocoon. Feeling the mighty power surging within his body, he couldn’t help but smile.

So this is the new power?

[Congratulations, you have obtained the Talent: Sequence-Fiery Sun]

[Prompt: Detected that the host possesses Fiery Sun series exclusive equipment - Sun Badge. The Badge’s same-name Skill [Eternal Sun] cannot be used simultaneously with Talent - Eternal Sun. However, you may consume Durability to enhance the Talent - Eternal Sun’s strength; each consumption increases strength by 0.5 times.]

"So strong!"

Ye Mingqiu’s eyes sparkled.

Compared to Sequence-Saintly Radiance, Sequence-Fiery Sun leans more purely towards the Combat System. It has no additional Energy mechanics, none of that pile of decouple Energy; what it has is only the most extreme combat intensity.

This is....Sequence-Fiery Sun!
