160: Chapter 160: Just an Epic Skill

The city was filled with joy and excitement, with citizens celebrating the victory everywhere.

The Guard Army could be seen everywhere outside the city, and Song Hai, still uneasy, was personally supervising the scene.

The Yulin City Professional Management Association was also bustling with activity.

Professionals and staff members coming and going were busy and orderly preparing for the war result report that was about to be broadcast nationwide.

During this time, Ye Shao had sent someone to invite Tang Mo to participate in the report, but Tang Mo declined.

For Tang Mo, who suffered from some social anxiety, doing something like that would be pure torture.

Taking advantage of the fact that he had time now and an abundance of skill points, he decided to further increase his skill levels.

As for evolution and advancement, Tang Mo planned to wait until all his skill levels were maxed out, then decide based on the skills' effects whether to evolve or advance them.

However, as soon as he opened his attribute panel, Tang Mo was stunned.

He saw that the skill bar was densely packed with many unfamiliar skills.

【Frenzied Strike】

【Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles】

【Heavy Strike】

...

Some of these skills were grayed out and unusable; only the Mage-type skills remained lit.

Tang Mo quickly realized that these were skills plundered by his Source Poison!

Since skill plundering was random, Tang Mo had even plundered some melee-type skills.

Because Tang Mo was a Mage-type class,

he was unable to cast melee-class or physical-type skills.

This was why those grayed-out, uncastable skills appeared.

Under the enhancement of Tang Mo's equipment, all these skills had reached the Epic grade.

Tang Mo did a rough count; through this great war, he had plundered approximately four to five hundred skills!

Gulp~!

Looking at the densely packed skill bar, Tang Mo couldn't help but swallow hard.

A full four to five hundred Epic-grade skills! Who could withstand that!

Tang Mo glanced at his Talents again; there were still two.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Mo regained his composure and continued planning his grand skill-upgrading scheme.

They were just Epic-grade skills; it wasn't as if he hadn't seen them before.

Since he was raising skill levels, the first consideration was naturally God-level Skills.

After all, the returns from God-level Skills were the highest.

The first one Tang Mo thought of was the buff-type skill, Poison God Possession.

Poison God Possession not only allowed Tang Mo to achieve instantaneous skill chaining in a short period, but it also significantly increased skill damage. As a first choice, it certainly couldn't be wrong.

With that in mind, Tang Mo directly maxed out the level of Poison God Possession, reaching Level 160.

The duration of Poison God Possession changed from the original 3 minutes to 10 minutes, and the damage increased from 3000% to 10000%.

It was just that the cooldown became a bit long—24 hours, a full day!

Overall, however, Tang Mo was quite satisfied.

“Although the cooldown is a bit long, with my current damage plus this kind of amplification, even Lord-class fierce beasts probably wouldn't survive 10 minutes of my skill bombardment.”

Subsequently, Tang Mo's gaze fell upon the Highly Toxic Tornado, which was also a God-level Skill.

As a massive area-of-effect control skill that also dealt damage, Highly Toxic Tornado was definitely a God-level Skill with extremely high cost-performance.

He directly invested 100,000 skill points, raising Highly Toxic Tornado to Level 160. Its diameter coverage more than doubled, and its damage increased from 800% to 2000%.

Afterward, Tang Mo continued to max out Highly Toxic Domain, Poison Thunder Descent, Netherworld Earth Fire, Super Growth Hormone, Tidal Wave of Extreme Poison, and the Gate of All Things.

The results were also very satisfying to Tang Mo.

The range of Highly Toxic Domain remained unchanged, but the damage amplification increased directly to 100 times.

The range of the two large-area continuous damage skills, Poison Thunder Descent and Netherworld Earth Fire, remained the same, while their damage amplification reached 16000%.

Super Growth Hormone could now directly increase a target's level by 500!

The range of Tidal Wave of Extreme Poison increased to 100 square kilometers, and its damage increased to 16000%.

However, the Gate of All Things, which he had invested nearly 160,000 skill points into, showed no changes at all.

At least from the skill description, no changes could be seen.

Tang Mo couldn't help but suspect if those 160,000 skill points had gone down the drain.

But perhaps because space-type skills were inherently rare and their abilities were quite broken, there wouldn't be any changes.

After raising the eight God-level Skills to max level, the skill points in Tang Mo's hands were completely exhausted; the cost of upgrading God-level Skills far exceeded his imagination.

However, once the battlefield here was cleared, Tang Mo would have plenty more skill points coming in.

After Ye Shao announced the war's victory, the entire country fell into a state of jubilation, with a joyful atmosphere everywhere.

This situation lasted for two full days.

During this time, Ye Shao came in person to inform Tang Mo about the progress of the battlefield cleanup and inventory.

Since Chebman had led the main force of the Orc Allied Forces, their equipment was quite excellent.

There were 6,270 pieces of supreme-grade equipment and 20,865 pieces of diamond-grade equipment, which converted to a total of 82.4 billion gold coins.

Because the amount was so large and Tang Mo wanted cash, even the Association couldn't raise that much money at once.

They would have to wait until after the auction.

Yes, Ye Shao planned to use a portion of the equipment for an auction to raise the funds.

However, Ye Shao had already prepared the Special Skill Manual and Legendary-grade skill evolution scroll for Tang Mo.

Zhan Wuji and Wei Shenchou also rushed back on the second day.

Clang! The door was violently pushed open.

Zhan Wuji's figure appeared directly in the room.

With a wave of his hand, a huge bundle appeared before Tang Mo.

“The 13 billion gold coins are all here. Give me those three saint artifacts!”

Zhan Wuji saw clearly that Chebman had dropped a total of three saint artifact-grade equipment pieces, all of which Tang Mo had picked up.

“Good for you, Zhan Wuji! You lack martial virtue, trying to swallow the saint artifacts all for yourself while I'm away!”

“This old man absolutely will not agree!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Shenchou's figure appeared at Tang Mo's doorway.

He gave a cold snort, glanced at Zhan Wuji, and walked straight to Tang Mo.

Crash~!

Another large bundle appeared before Tang Mo, filled to the brim with gold coins.

Zhan Wuji frowned; he hadn't expected to be a step too slow and that the other man would actually make it in time.

“I thought you weren't coming, Old Wei.”

“Bullshit! When has Wei Shenchou ever broken a promise? Never mind 10 billion gold coins—even if I had to bring out another 10 billion, it wouldn't be a problem.”

Wei Shenchou said irritably.

Then he said to Tang Mo, “Brat, can you bring out the saint artifacts for me to see now?”

“Hahaha, of course.”

As he spoke, Tang Mo laid out the three saint artifact-grade equipment pieces one by one before the two of them.

Hiss~!

As soon as the three saint artifacts appeared, both of them couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.

Wei Shenchou was about to reach out when he was stopped by Zhan Wuji.

“Old Wei, I respect you as a senior, but it wouldn't be right if you tried to snatch them again.”
