66: Chapter 66 Ten-Pull, Red Reward

[Ding~ Consuming 1,000 slaughter value can advance the trait Thunder Armor. Advance now?]

Lin Mo glanced at his attribute panel.

[Name: Lin Mo]

[Class: Awakener]

[trait: God Speed (Purple Peak Grade), Thunder Armor (Blue Mid Grade)]

[cultivation: Rank 2, Level 6]

[Strength: 109]

[Agility: 135]

[Constitution: 104]

[Spirit: 101]

[Techniques: Flowing Cloud Aurora Slash LV4 (98/100), Basic Saber Technique LV11 (12/100), Lingyan Steps LV3 (52/100)]

[slaughter value: 2,765]

[achievement points: 11]

Killing that peak Rank 3 Mimic provided 2,000 slaughter value, and his achievement points also reached 11.

"Yes!"

[Ding~ trait advancing...]

As the system notification popped up, an invisible pressure radiated from Lin Mo, and a patch of purple clouds suddenly appeared in the sky.

It was exactly the same as the scene from last time.

But this time, no one noticed the anomaly in the sky.

Inside the camp, both veterans and students were busy fleeing for their lives.

[Ding! trait advancement complete. Thunder Armor has advanced to the purple trait — Lightning Flash]

Lightning Flash, Passive: The body becomes a conduit for lightning; defense and damage reflection effects are increased by 100%, and the speed boost is increased to 50%.

Active: Thunder Mark. Each time an attack hits an enemy, it leaves a Thunder Mark on the target, lasting 30 seconds.

Thunder Marks can stack up to 10 times.

Each stack of Thunder Mark increases the lightning damage the target receives by 10%. Upon reaching 10 stacks, it triggers Thunderclap; the lightning power accumulated within the target's body explodes instantly, dealing lightning damage equal to 500% of the host's Spirit attribute.

[Ding! God Speed and Lightning Flash have achieved resonance. When the host activates both simultaneously, it triggers a special state: Thunderous God Speed

Allows for directional changes during high-speed movement; each turn can be followed by an attack, triggering up to nine times.

Each attack carries a lightning splash effect, dealing 30% splash damage to enemies within a 3-meter radius.

Visual Effect: The user transforms into a violent lightning storm, leaving nothing but scorched earth in their wake!

System notifications popped up one after another, but Lin Mo felt no waves of emotion after seeing the information panel.

Not enough, still not enough!

Let alone that Fifth-Order Lord in the distance, even these dozen or so Mimics nearby...

Not enough.

Still not enough!

Let alone that Fifth-Order Lord in the distance, even these dozen or so Rank 4 and Rank 3 Mimics nearby were not something Lin Mo could handle.

He needed more.

Greater power.

Lin Mo's gaze fell upon his achievement points.

11 points.

Enough for a ten-pull.

But time was short.

He gritted his teeth and muttered in his heart, "System, consume 10 achievement points to spin the lucky wheel!"

[Ding! Consumed 10 achievement points to start the lucky wheel · Ten Consecutive Pulls!]

The virtual wheel spun rapidly in his mind, with gold, purple, and blue lights flashing alternately.

First time, White — Cough Pills x10.

Second time, Green — Energy Supplements x20.

Third time, Blue — Technique Experience Scroll (Small) x1.

Fourth time, Green — Rank 1 Beast Bone Saber x1.

Fifth time, White — Thank you for your patronage.

Lin Mo's heart sank.

Still not enough.

Sixth time, White.

Seventh time, White.

Eighth time, Green — slaughter value +100.

Ninth time—

The wheel suddenly erupted with a blinding red light.

The light was so bright that Lin Mo's vision went white.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Red reward: spatial beacon!]

[spatial beacon: A legendary-grade spatial item. After use, an indestructible spatial anchor can be set at the current location. Thereafter, the host can instantly teleport back to this anchor from any location. The anchor is permanent, but a 7-day recharge is required after teleporting before it can be used again. Current anchors available to set: 3.]

Lin Mo's pupils contracted sharply.

spatial beacon.

Permanent anchor.

This was... an absolute life-saving trump card!

Before Lin Mo could react, the light for the tenth draw also lit up — Gold.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Purple reward: S-Rank Technique Advancement Scroll!]

[Can be used on any A-Rank or lower technique to break through its current grade, unlocking hidden traits or gaining a significant boost in technique effects; it also has a slight effect on S-Rank techniques.]

Lin Mo took a deep breath, his gaze falling on the attribute panel.

[Lingyan Steps LV3 (52/100)]

This B-Rank movement technique had accompanied him all the way, having evolved from the Basic Movement Technique.

From Jiangcheng University to the Nanling Frontline, it had saved him many times.

Those hair-breadth dodges and those perilously close maneuvers were all thanks to it.

But it wasn't enough anymore.

The enemies he faced had gone from Rank 2 to Rank 3, from Rank 3 to Rank 4, and now, it was a Fifth-Order Lord.

A B-Rank movement technique was too weak in a battle of this level.

Lin Mo watched the giant beast approaching in the distance, the Mimics still slaughtering, and the despairing figures amidst the flames.

He gripped the S-Rank Technique Advancement Scroll tightly.

He had originally intended to use it on Flowing Cloud Aurora Slash.

But now he had changed his mind.

No matter how strong the attack, it was useless if it didn't hit.

No matter how fast the speed, it was pointless if he couldn't dodge.

What he needed was to survive.

Only by surviving would there be a chance.

"System," he muttered in his heart.

"Use the S-Rank Technique Enhancement Scroll to enhance Lingyan Steps."

[Ding! Using S-Rank Technique Enhancement Scroll, Target: Lingyan Steps (B-Rank)]

[Enhancement beginning—]

A warm power rose from his Dantian, instantly flowing through his entire body.

Lin Mo closed his eyes, feeling the change.

Countless images surfaced in his mind—

Running through Laoshu Alley as a child, avoiding the older kids who bullied him.

The feeling of wind beneath his feet when he first awakened Swift Step.

Weaving through the dense forests of Nanling, dodging and maneuvering between the claws and teeth of fierce beasts time and again.

Those images became faster and faster, finally turning into a hazy mist of clouds and smoke.

Within the mist, a figure was walking.

Neither hurried nor slow.

Unhurried and steady.

Every step taken landed at the most perfect moment.

Every turn happened to evade all attacks.

That figure became clearer and closer—

Finally, it merged with him.

[Ding! Enhancement complete!]

[Lingyan Steps has broken through its grade limit: B-Rank → S-Rank!]

[Technique Name: Void-Treading Lingyan Steps]

[Grade: S-Rank]

Lin Mo opened his eyes and looked at the system notification.

[Void-Treading Lingyan Steps: Illusory and ethereal, unpredictable and elusive. Body like clouds and smoke, steps like flowing water, freely transitioning between reality and illusion.]

[Basic Effects: Evasion Rate +50%, Movement Speed +50%, ability to walk freely on any terrain (including water surfaces, walls, and treetops)]

[Active: Void Step. The body can briefly transform into illusory smoke, increasing the evasion rate to 90%.]

[Ultimate: Misty Rain of Life. Automatically triggers when near death; the body completely transforms into smoke for 3 seconds. During this period, the user is immune to all attacks and can move freely but cannot attack. Can be triggered once every 24 hours.]

The corners of Lin Mo's mouth curled up.

Now, this should be about enough!
