371: Chapter 370 Explosive Sky Step LV.5

"Brother Chu Xuan, is this the flight-type skill scroll you obtained?"

As Chu Xuan took out the black scroll, Lin Jie's voice suddenly sounded from beside him.

"You're sober?" Chu Xuan turned his head and gave Lin Jie a deep look. With his current spiritual perception, he actually hadn't noticed when Lin Jie had woken up.

Just a moment ago, Lin Jie had been so drunk he was unconscious, unaware that his face was buried in the mud by the pond.

"Still a bit dizzy... I just had a strange dream. I can't remember the details, but it felt like I became another person." Lin Jie scratched his head.

Another person?

Chu Xuan looked deeply at Lin Jie, and then his eyes suddenly narrowed. He felt that the other's aura was much stronger than before, so he immediately used Eye of Insight.

As Lin Jie's information surfaced, Chu Xuan couldn't help but feel astonished.

Because at this moment, Lin Jie had somehow reached Rank 5 from his original Rank 3, and all of his attributes had actually reached 60 points.

Only his Charm attribute remained at 10 points, failing to make another Breakthrough.

Prior to this, the spirituality value Lin Jie possessed was not enough to allow him to break through and level up repeatedly. Even if he had consumed various exotic fruits, the increase in basic attributes wouldn't be this exaggerated.

Even the life essence he drank afterward could not have achieved such a massive boost.

"Do you feel anything special?" Chu Xuan asked calmly. "Do you feel any changes in yourself?"

"Just a bit of a headache, nothing else really." Lin Jie shook his head blankly, then frowned slightly and said:

"Brother Chu Xuan, I think Yan Guofa's behavior from start to finish has been very strange. Especially those things he said when he retreated—he might be joining the Specter faction, or it could be related to the Resurrection Society or the World Traitors... So, could there be a trap in this skill scroll?"

"No, I've already spent spirituality value to have it authenticated by the System; there's no problem." Chu Xuan spoke calmly, then added pointedly:

"Besides, whether Yan Guofa really retreated is another matter. It might have been intentional."

Lin Jie was slightly startled. "What do you mean?"

"Nothing. No matter what that old fellow is planning, let him be. I just need to stay focused on the path I'm walking." Chu Xuan shook his head and didn't explain further.

From start to finish, Chu Xuan's gaze was fixed intently on Lin Jie as he asked again:

"What about you? Think carefully, what exactly happened in your dream just now?"

While speaking, Chu Xuan used Heart Bewitchment, but Lin Jie seemed completely unaware, his expression normal as he said, "I didn't feel anything..."

At this point, Lin Jie's body suddenly jolted, and then he jumped up with a start, crying out in disbelief:

"I... my Rank... and my basic attributes, they've all increased by so much?"

"Brother Chu Xuan, the effect of this high-grade life essence is way too strong!"

Lin Jie's eyes were filled with gratitude.

Chu Xuan remained silent for a moment, then poured another cup of wine for the other. "Since the effect is good, try drinking another cup."

"Mm." Lin Jie nodded heavily, the gratitude in his eyes deepening.

He immediately took the cup, first taking a small sip, then his eyes lit up as he took several more sips, and finally, he couldn't help but tilt his head back and drain it.

"Ugh... I can't take it, I need to sleep some more." Lin Jie fell into a deep slumber.

Chu Xuan stared at Lin Jie for a long time, keeping Eye of Insight active to observe him. He could easily see that when the other drank the life essence just now, the boost he received was far less than before.

And the only things that increased were his stamina, spirit, and an additional bonus to his maximum health points.

But a thought suddenly popped into Chu Xuan's mind:

"Based on this current trend, if my guess is correct, when Lin Jie wakes up again, it's highly likely he'll go up another Rank, and his basic attributes will also reach the maximum for that Rank."

"We'll know for sure when he wakes up..."

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. In his eyes, Lin Jie's various data points were clearly displayed, except for the Talent column, which always showed "question marks," indicating it could not be probed.

Next, Chu Xuan turned his attention back to the black scroll.

[Would you like to consume 100 spirituality value to learn this skill and obtain the Transcendent Skill "Void Burst Step LV.1"?]

[Void Burst Step: LV.1

After acquiring this skill, you can use your own explosive power to kick off the air. Each step is like stepping on invisible stairs, allowing you to move at high speeds in the air through reaction force, including but not limited to sudden stops, turns, flying backward, diving, bouncing, etc.

When you maintain continuous kicking movement, your normal speed can be maintained at 100 km/h, and your full sprint in the air can reach 150 km/h.

Skill requirements: stamina > 120, Strength > 140, agility > 135 (These requirements are for ordinary attributes; if they have been converted to real attribute, they can be divided by 12 based on the requirements.)

Special Note: Not an Evil God Authority, no level cap restriction, can be upgraded to a maximum of Level 7.]

A sharp light flashed through Chu Xuan's eyes.

This skill was simply too suitable for him, almost as if it were tailor-made.

In addition to this skill scroll, there were also the Sealing Ring, the heart of the earth, and the Death-Substitution Item that Yan Guofa had sent over through various means earlier.

It was precisely because of this that Chu Xuan vaguely felt Yan Guofa might be acting, and the supplies sent one after another seemed like he was subtly sending a signal—

[We are on the same side, don't accidentally hurt your teammate.]

Of course, there might be a deeper, more sinister plot hidden behind the other party.

Chu Xuan didn't overthink it, always sticking to his own principles.

If there are benefits, I'll take them first. That doesn't stop me from turning hostile at any time; just don't get in my way.

Taking a light breath, Chu Xuan had already made his choice.

[You have consumed 100 spirituality value.]

[You have obtained the Transcendent Skill: Void Burst Step LV.1]

[Current spirituality value: 12206]

Chu Xuan immediately began exchanging for skill points to increase the skill level.

[You consumed 10 skill points, your Transcendent Skill Void Burst Step level +1; Current skill level: LV.2]

[You consumed 20 skill points... Void Burst Step level +1...]

[You consumed 40 skill points... Void Burst Step level +1...]

[You consumed 80 skill points... Void Burst Step level +1; Current skill level: LV.5]

[Void Burst Step LV.5: Your comprehension of stepping on air has reached the Realm of perfection. You utilize your explosive power to the maximum extent for aerial movement.

When you maintain continuous kicking movement, your normal speed can be maintained at 300 km/h, and your full sprint in the air can reach 500 km/h.]

After consuming a full 1500 spirituality value, the level of Void Burst Step finally rose to LV.5.

The effect was also very significant. System data showed that his speed was now almost equal to the limit he could reach on land.

A sharp light flickered in Chu Xuan's eyes.

After obtaining this Level 5 Void Burst Step, his combat power had significantly improved, especially in terms of mobility, which had undergone a complete transformation.

This way, if he encountered enemies who could fly high into the sky again, he would have more opportunities to take the initiative.

However, when he wanted to continue leveling up further,

The System gave a prompt that to reach the next level, in addition to 160 skill points, he also needed 300 soul crystals!
