I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Chapter 57: Third Tier: Golden Light Preservation (Second Update)

Thoughts swirled in his mind, the desolate mountains and wilds flashed by, and the signs of human habitation gradually thinned out. The mournful cries of magpies and crows echoed through the mountains, and the roars of tigers and wolves were faintly discernible, creating a scene of eerie desolation, the great tomb already close at hand.

“Is it finally time to level up?” Zhang Chen’s eyes were fixed on the great tomb before him, filled with fiery anticipation. Disregarding the heat emanating from within, he directly grabbed his basket and climbed inside.

Drawing moisture from the ground to form a water ball in the air, he watched as it rolled and directly enveloped the flames, extinguishing them. Because Zhang Chen controlled the power of water, even if the water ball encountered the flames and vaporized, it wouldn't escape. Instead, Zhang Chen would restrain it and return it to the water ball, making it a part of it, until the entire pile of flames was completely extinguished. Then, Zhang Chen took a large gulp of plain water before picking up his pickaxe and starting to dig into the soil.

After two swings of the pickaxe, the soil in front of Zhang Chen collapsed. Once the soil had completely caved in, large amounts of glittering experience points appeared before Zhang Chen's eyes:

【Experience Points +30】

【Experience Points +10】

【Experience Points +50】

When Zhang Chen saw the +50 experience points, he stopped swinging the shovel, his eyes fixed on the experience points on the ground. The next moment, the Golden Finger activated, directly collecting the experience points. At this moment, the Golden Finger interface before Zhang Chen refreshed:

【Name: Zhang Chen】

【Skill 1 (Second Tier): Light of the True God (0/5000)】

【Skill 2 (Unranked): Dragon Qi (0/2000)】

【Skill 3 (Unranked): Blood Control (0/100000)】

【Skill 4 (Unranked): Water Control Technique (0/1000)】

【Points: 5080】

Looking at the points on the Golden Finger interface, Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat: “Heavens, do you know how I’ve been living these days? What kind of life have I been living?”

Zhang Chen’s eyes swept across the Golden Finger interface, finally landing on Skill 1, and without hesitation, he added the points to it.

【Skill Upgrading】

Then, the skill interface before Zhang Chen turned into snowflakes, and countless snowflakes reorganized themselves. A line of golden writing appeared before Zhang Chen's eyes:

【Light of the True God (Second Tier) -\u003e Golden Light Preservation (Third Tier)】

【Skill Explanation: Can infuse golden light into a carrier, allowing it to be preserved for one day and one night.】

Then, the Golden Finger interface before Zhang Chen refreshed again:

【Name: Zhang Chen】

【Skill 1 (Third Tier): Light of the True God -\u003e Preservation (0/50000)】

【Skill 2 (Unranked): Dragon Qi (0/2000)】

【Skill 3 (Unranked): Blood Control (0/100000)】

【Skill 4 (Unranked): Water Control Technique (0/1000)】

【Points: 80】

Then, Zhang Chen felt a surge of heat flow into his body. The heat directly rushed into the golden light in his lower abdomen, causing it to seem to give birth to a trace of inexplicable spirituality, as if some mysterious charm was being nurtured within.

Zhang Chen could sense that within his ball of golden light, a faint rune appeared. The rune seemed to exist and not exist, looking extremely complex and ancient, like a Taoist ghost drawing, pulsating with his breathing.

When he inhaled, a trace of inexplicable energy within the golden light formed a blurred rune. When he exhaled, the rune dispersed again, turning into golden light and scattering back into the golden light world of his dantian.

Moreover, with the upgrade of the third skill, Zhang Chen noticed that the golden light within his body had grown larger. The light was bright and overbearing, now dispelling the mist in his abdomen, not only illuminating his dantian but also illuminating his stomach, his kidneys, and even re-illuminating an organ in his body: his lungs!

The feeling was like the lamp in League of Legends, illuminating and dispelling the surrounding mist, or like the darkness constantly dissipating in Honor of Kings, very strange.

“Huh? My body seems to be shrouded in a layer of mist? That mist surrounds my entire body, surrounds my internal organs? Strange, how can there be mist in my body?” Zhang Chen now ‘looked’ at his own lamp, lost in thought, his gaze projecting towards his heart. It was like a headlight shining into the dark mist, the distance filled only with fog, a silent stillness that drove one mad.

“Very strange, what exactly is the change in my body?” Zhang Chen was somewhat confused, and with no one to guide him, he naturally didn't know the changes within. He only felt very comfortable at the moment. With the golden light illuminating his lungs, even his breathing became smoother.

Then, Zhang Chen's gaze fell on his first skill, his eyes looking at the third skill, revealing a hint of curiosity and hope: “This is a third-tier skill, costing me a full five thousand skill points to upgrade. Please don't disappoint me.”

Zhang Chen's eyes looked at the Golden Finger interface, and the entry for the first skill seemed to have changed:

【Skill 1 (Third Tier): Light of the True God -\u003e Preservation (0/50000)】

“It’s still the Light of the True God, but it seems to have gained a Preservation characteristic.” Zhang Chen carefully sensed the information coming from the Golden Finger. The next moment, Zhang Chen picked up the chisel beside him. As he inhaled, a hazy rune was born within the golden light in his dantian. With the birth of that rune, the golden light in his dantian seemed to have a mysterious activity, actually extending and wandering along the meridians in Zhang Chen's body, directly injecting into the chisel in his hand.

Then, the chisel burst out with a golden light that could only be seen with a Dharma Eye. The golden light was magnificent and filled with endless majesty, as if the gods had descended, filled with a sacred aura.

“This golden light can be preserved in the chisel for a day. This is the change brought about by upgrading the Light of the True God.” Zhang Chen looked at the chisel emitting golden light in his hand, his eyes growing brighter and brighter. Since the golden light could be attached to the chisel, it could naturally be attached to a long staff, a knife, a sword, an arrow, and even pots and pans, all objects.

“Even if I create golden light traps and golden light jars, can I trap monsters within them?”

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Zhang Chen's mind: “I understand, the characteristic of golden light is aimed at the power of mystery. Objects blessed by my golden light also have the ability to restrain demons. My skill has changed from passive to active! The space for operation is too great!”

“If the fox spirit doesn't have any other skills, it's doomed!”

Before, Zhang Chen relied purely on the fox spirit approaching to automatically activate his talent. But now, Zhang Chen can inject golden light into objects, giving them the power of golden light.
