Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

Chapter 449: Control of Evil Spirit

In the skill upgrade warehouse, as more than 60,000 Paradise Coins were deducted one after another, a large number of emerald green light spots began to emerge out of thin air and poured into the broken body below.

Soon, the teeth-grinding sound of bones moving rang out in succession throughout the warehouse. First, pieces of bone fragments were forcibly squeezed out of flesh and blood, and fell on the bottom of the metal warehouse with a clanging sound.

Then, new bones and flesh and blood began to wriggle and form at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, wisps of black inexplicable breath were slowly discharged from the new flesh and blood, and the whole scene looked particularly creepy.

It was not until more than an hour later that the falling emerald green light spots dissipated, and Xu Yue, who had repaired all his injuries, stood up.

[Evil Spirit Control (Passive) has been upgraded to LV.10]

[Tip: Due to the erosion of a large amount of evil spirits, your willpower +3]

[Tip: Because the 'Evil Spirit Control (Passive)' has been upgraded to LV.10, the hunter can choose the branch reward of level LV.10. 】

Mimicry: You can condense your own evil spirit into any image to improve the external deterrent effect. (No substantial power increase)

Evil spirit: Slightly increase the special bonus of the evil spirit's body to the evil spirit's erosion.

Condensing breath: When the evil spirit is in the convergent state, it slightly weakens the erosion of the evil spirit on your own breath (charm attribute).

As soon as he regained consciousness, a large area of ​​paradise prompts popped up one after another. Although the evil spirit increase this time caused him serious damage, the gains he made were also considerable. This skill level upgrade of two levels was one of them.

His eyes swept through the three options lined up in front of him, and option A's "Mimicry" was first excluded. If it was just to improve the painting style, it would not waste a point reward.

As for the remaining two options, Xu Yue's eyes first paused slightly on the effect description of "Condensing Breath", but then he decisively locked on option B's "Evil Spirit".

Compared to saving the charm attribute that is currently dispensable to him, option B, which can effectively match his blood constitution, is obviously more worthy of improvement.

As soon as he made the choice, a roar suddenly exploded in the upgrade warehouse, and the evil spirit that had just subsided in his body suddenly surged outward. In an instant, all he could see was the fierce and violent aura that was so thick that it was almost liquid, and even the surface of the surrounding warehouse walls began to continuously appear layers of black thin ice.

After a while, the boiling evil spirit was taken back into the body. The improvement of Paradise has always been immediate. In just a few minutes of this release and collection, Xu Yue clearly felt that the breath in his body became more corrosive.

Although the initial nature of evil spirits is basically the same, after absorption and transformation, they often show different characteristics that vary from person to person. For example, the evil spirit in his body is mostly fierce and corrosive, while the evil spirit on the Qin character banner is more majestic and solemn.

Recalling the black dragon claw on the battlefield that almost turned him into meat paste with just one finger, Xu Yue's eyes were deep. Compared with that level of evil spirit use, his current evil spirit control, which was only at level 10, might not even reach the first glimpse of it.

Only after truly experiencing the extreme oppression that seemed to crush his entire body and soul into slag at that moment, did he really understand how exaggerated the gap between the two was.

In fact, the second before the dragon claw pressed down, Xu Yue could directly leave the battlefield through the transmission mechanism provided by the paradise, but between fleeing and fighting to the death, he decisively chose the latter.

Although the end of the hard fight was particularly tragic, at least he knew that the growth limit of the ability of "evil spirit control" was definitely far beyond expectations. For this reason alone, the more than 60,000 paradise coins consumed for treating injuries before were worth the money.

"Paradise, who was the one who used the dragon claws in the battlefield just now?"

[Hunter authority detection...]

[Detection completed...Hunter authority passed, target query in progress: Time segment - Battle of Changping - Qin - Bai Qi]

"Wu'an Jun, that's not surprising."

Touching his chin, Xu Yue looked at the two words "Bai Qi" on the panel in front of him, and a flash of realization flashed across his eyes.

Bai Qi, a person who was called "God of War" and "Man-Slayer" in the chaotic Warring States period, fought more than 70 battles in his life, but never lost a single one.

According to incomplete statistics, more than two million people died in the Warring States period, and the number of people who died at the hands of Wu'an Jun accounted for more than half of them. In other words, he led his army to slaughter a full million lives, nearly one-tenth of the population of the entire Warring States period, and proved with practical actions what "one general's success is the sacrifice of thousands of people!"

And such a person, when the world he lives in becomes extraordinary, it is not surprising that he can have such a majestic evil spirit.

In this Wu An Jun, he truly felt for the first time how terrifying the pure evil spirit could be. The value of this guidance alone far exceeded the number of Paradise coins he consumed.

"Paradise, if I continue to improve the control of evil spirit, will I still be teleported to the Changping battlefield?"

[The evil spirit battlefield is generally randomly selected. If the hunter's authority is detected to meet the requirements, a certain amount of Paradise coins can be consumed to enter the designated battlefield]

[To improve 'Evil Spirit Control LV.10 (Passive), you need to pay 50,000 Paradise coins. An additional 50,000 Paradise coins can be paid to designate the Changping battlefield. Yes/No payment]

"100,000?!"

Looking away from the Paradise prompt in front of him, and then silently glancing at his remaining balance of just over 200,000 Paradise coins, Xu Yue decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing to spend.

On the one hand, he couldn't spend all his resources on controlling the evil spirit, and on the other hand, he had gained more than that on the Changping battlefield.

As soon as he thought about it, he first summoned the black-shrouded Fang Tian Huaji, followed by a hoarse dragon roar, and the Panlong relief hovering on the halberd suddenly opened a pair of scarlet eyes, and then slowly swam out from the halberd.

At this time, the Panlong was far less huge than it was on the Changping battlefield, but the amount of evil spirit wrapped around it was definitely more than that.

In terms of the efficiency of swallowing evil spirit and the limit of its capacity, Xu Yue couldn't compare with the Panlong, which was originally fed by evil spirit.

Although the latter appeared for a very short time, in that short moment, the evil spirit swallowed by the other party was many times more than Xu Yue, and it has not even been completely refined until now.

Since its birth, this can be said to be the most satisfying meal it has ever had. Even though it was crushed on the spot by Wu Anjun when it was halfway through eating, as long as Xu Yue, the master of the army, is not dead, they can still be reborn with their roots in the combined blade weapons.

And now, it is time to divide the spoils.

"Each of us will have half, and I will let you eat enough next time."

The black fog rolled over the top of the upgrade warehouse. Upon hearing this, a pair of scarlet dragon eyes looked down. After a brief hesitation, as the dragon's sharp teeth opened wide, a steady stream of evil spirits immediately poured towards Xu Yue below.

Soon, the spreading fog enveloped the entire warehouse space. Only two pairs of scarlet eyes, one large and one small, were extremely eye-catching in the black fog. At the same time, prompt sounds showing skill upgrades also came out one after another.

[Evil Spirit Control (Passive) has been upgraded to LV.11]

[Evil Spirit Control (Passive) has been upgraded to LV.12]

[Evil Spirit Control (Passive) has been upgraded to LV.13]

…………

After a long time, the black fog in the upgrade warehouse had already dissipated, and what replaced it was Xu Yue's evil spirit control skill after upgrading 3 levels.

And this is just the result of splitting the profit in half. One payment, 5 upgrades, with Panlong as a "cheat", upgrading evil spirit control is a big profit for him.

And according to Paradise, entering the evil spirit battlefield is purely random. As long as there is no existence of the level of Wu Anjun next time, the benefits that Panlong can obtain may be even more exaggerated.

Regarding this matter of being able to reasonably fleece Paradise, he said the more the better.

He suppressed the urge to continue to improve. Even if his financial resources allowed, his body, which had just been repaired, would need a long time to adapt and recuperate. Moreover, the evil spirit control that had reached level 13 was now fully capable of dealing with the enemies at the current stage.

[Evil spirit control LV.13 (passive/active)]

Skill effect 1: Shock (active), which can radiate all the evil spirits in the body outward. The spreading evil spirit wave will launch an indiscriminate mental shock to all beings within 40 meters around, causing them to fall into a state of illusion for 0.1 to 3 seconds, and reduce their movement and reaction speed by 10%.

Tip: There is no cooldown time for ‘Shock’, but when it is released again, the evil spirit that expands outward needs to be retracted into the body. Frequent use will cause serious damage to one’s internal organs.

Tip: The illusion state ignores any conventional defense, and the duration is determined by the will attribute and soul strength comparison between the enemy and us.

Skill Effect 2: Spiritual Domain (Passive), when in the state of releasing breath, it can continuously erode any life form within a range of 40 meters. In the erosion state, the target's mental resistance will continue to decrease until it falls into negative states such as "fear" (reduced rationality), "madness" (illusion generation), and "spiritual decline" (fainting of will).

Tips: Evil spirit, within the range of the spiritual domain, most energy release and mental manipulation skills have a 10% chance of being reversely invaded by the diffused evil spirit.

Tips: When the evil spirit field and the overlord field (Panlong) are superimposed, the skill effect can be greatly improved, but the hunter's physical consumption and self-burden will also be doubled.

Skill Effect 3: Introversion (Passive), when the evil spirit is collected in the body, it can greatly reduce the erosion of the evil spirit on the spirit, and use the vast amount of evil spirit as a dam to provide a certain degree of blessing and protection for the spirit.

Tip: The current blessing effect is: Hunter's willpower +6, all negative effects resistance against mental will +10% (including forced charm, mental exploration, mental suppression...)

………

Unlike Su Xiao's breath release, Xu Yue's evil spirit control has no direct physical damage effect from beginning to end, but focuses more on erosion control and provides a certain degree of blessing protection.

But this does not mean that the evil spirit control is weak. With his will attribute, even if he is one or two levels higher than him, it is basically impossible to completely ignore the erosion and deterrence of the evil spirit. In the desperate fight, even a moment of trance will directly determine life and death.

So compared to direct killing, he prefers this almost unavoidable strong control ability, similar to an extreme fear aura that does not require consumption, and this is undoubtedly more in line with his combat system.

In short, from the simple skill description, he is quite satisfied with this ability. As for the actual effect, it can only be truly reflected through actual combat and killing enemies.

After carefully reading the introduction of the evil spirit control, Xu Yue was ready to leave. Since he was not going to upgrade again, there was no need to stay here. However, before leaving, he was very cautious and summoned the flame to burn all the dark blood stains left at the bottom of the warehouse.

Although he knew that the upgrade warehouse would most likely be automatically cleaned after he left, it was always better to be careful. In this paradise city where lunatics and villains emerged in an endless stream, it was not too cautious.

Walking out of the skill upgrade hall, the paradise city was always bustling and lively at any time. Contractors and employees were coming and going in an endless stream. After joining the crowd, Xu Yue's figure was quickly swallowed up.

Half an hour later, the Summer Season Restaurant.

Xu Yue originally planned to go straight to the arena to test the two new skills he had just mastered, but his bones were still aching slightly and his hungry stomach made him wisely give up this option and fill his stomach first.

Just arrived at the door of the restaurant, before entering, a tempting aroma of food has already hit the face first, mixed with a few faintly audible low barking of dogs.

Xu Yue let out a light exclamation, but did not stop. He had already guessed who he would see next.

As expected, as the closed door was slowly pushed open, the empty restaurant with poor business suddenly came into view, and the only two customers in it were the familiar man and dog.

On the other side, at the moment the door of the restaurant was pushed open, the man and dog who were waiting for the food at the table also quickly turned their eyes, with a faint surprise in their eyes. Obviously, they felt particularly novel about the fact that there were really other customers in this restaurant.

And when they saw the identity of the visitor, the surprise in their eyes also disappeared, and turned into a touch of understanding.

Inside the restaurant, Su Xiao, who was standing beside Xu Yue, did not stand up, but directly invited him: "It just so happens that I just got a batch of purple ingredients in the last world. Let's go together?"

"Sure!"

Hearing this, Xu Yue did not refuse after entering the door, but nodded decisively. After all, during the interval in the last world, he had also provided a lord-level octopus tentacles and purple-quality royal jelly as ingredients, so there was no need to be polite now.

For them, this level of ingredients is precious, but it is far from being too rare. As long as they are willing to spend some effort, they can be hunted at ease. Therefore, instead of choosing to eat alone and get fat, it is better to share resources generously.

The so-called interpersonal relationship is constantly deepened in this kind of going in and out.
