184: Chapter 184 I feel it!

"This..." Hu Gualing and Xiao Niao exchanged glances after seeing the skill information Tang Yao displayed.

They had just been saying earlier that output skills weren't so easy to comprehend, yet in the blink of an eye, Tang Yao had displayed this [Sword Heart] skill.

"What's wrong? Does my skill not count as an output skill?" Tang Yao asked, confused by the way Gualing and Xiao Niao were reluctant to speak.

Hu Gualing thought for a moment. "Your skill has both active and passive effects, and the name is so badass; it must be a rather powerful special skill. Although it doesn't count as an output skill, it's certainly far more powerful than ordinary ones. Plus, your skill can actually increase the experience acquisition rate, and after activating it, that rate can be boosted significantly once more. In the early stages of the game, it's simply a god-tier skill!" Hu Gualing's tone betrayed a strong sense of envy.

Tang Yao nodded, seemingly understanding. "So that's how it is. As long as it's useful, that's fine."

Seeing Tang Yao's nonchalant attitude, Hu Gualing and Xiao Niao felt even more jealous.

Anyone who plays online games knows that a crucial part of the game is leveling up. In this game, there is no such thing as a character Rank, but there are skill Ranks. And precisely because there is no character Rank, skill Ranks seem even more important. Since Tang Yao has comprehended this Sword Heart skill, it's likely that upgrading her future sword skills will be as easy as eating or drinking, and her combat power will surely rise along with it.

However, the only good news for now is that he and Xiao Niao can quickly boost their skill experience via their mobile phones while offline, a benefit Tang Yao doesn't have. In that sense, the gap in experience acquisition between them and Tang Yao might not necessarily widen too much.

Hu Gualing thought this to console himself, but soon realized it was no comfort at all. He couldn't help but say with envy, "Wait, no? Tell me, how did you comprehend such an overpowered skill? Share it with us so we can try too?"

"Yeah, yeah! I also want to comprehend a Bow Heart or Arrow Heart skill." Xiao Niao added eagerly.

"This..." Tang Yao recalled the battle with the BOSS, where she had suddenly entered a state of focused self-forgetfulness. She recounted it truthfully: "I don't think it's anything special. It's just focus. By concentrating all my attention on one point, I suddenly entered a state like sleepwalking."

"Huh?" "Sleepwalking?" Hu Gualing and Xiao Niao exchanged glances once again.

Hearing Tang Yao make it sound so simple, they naturally didn't quite believe her. However, out of envy for the Sword Heart skill she had comprehended, they decided to give her method a try.

Hu Gualing clasped his fingers together, raised his elbows to hold his hands in front of his forehead, and stared intently, muttering, "Focus, focus, focus..." Before long, his eyes successfully crossed, making Tang Yao laugh.

After trying for a while, Hu Gualing gave up helplessly. He rubbed his eyes and said dejectedly, "Forget it. How could it be that simple? Let's talk about it later."

Meanwhile, Xiao Niao seemed to have more perseverance in this matter. He carefully took out his old wooden bow. Since all his arrows had been shot and not yet retrieved, he simply held the old wooden bow in front of him, pulling the string empty as if aiming, using the corpse of the Mutated White Wild Boar lying not far away as an imaginary target. "I have a feeling!" Xiao Niao said, his expression focused as he suppressed his excitement.

Hu Gualing frowned. Seeing that Xiao Niao's expression didn't seem fake, he asked skeptically, "What kind of feeling?"

Xiao Niao's brow was tightly furrowed, his eyes squinted into slits. His expression was extremely focused and tense as he lowered his voice, trembling, "I feel like I've entered a focused state. The entire world in my eyes has changed... For instance, right now... I can see many green lights... floating above the BOSS's corpse."

Hu Gualing felt that something was off the more he listened. At the end, he suddenly turned his head to look at the corpse of the Mutated White Wild Boar and was astonished to find that there were indeed many green specks of light on it. 'Could it be that Xiao Niao has comprehended some incredible skill and is casting it on the BOSS's corpse?'

Just as he thought this, Hu Gualing noticed something, and his pupils constricted sharply. "You idiot! That's not your feeling—the BOSS is using Resurrection!" Hu Gualing said, giving Xiao Niao's shoulder a hard slap.

"Huh? Resurrection?!" Xiao Niao's eyes widened, and he stared at the corpse of the Mutated White Wild Boar in disbelief.

He saw numerous green specks of light rising from the blue-green patches on the Mutated White Wild Boar's corpse. They floated around the body like fireflies before slowly sinking back into it.

If that were all, it would be one thing. But the most terrifying part was that as the green specks of light entered its body, a health bar reappeared above the Mutated White Wild Boar's head. The health bar, which had previously been emptied, began to rise steadily and rapidly. While Hu Gualing, Xiao Niao, and Tang Yao watched in stunned silence, it filled up completely in seconds.

"Holy shit!!" Even a refined, high-achieving student like Xiao Niao couldn't help but curse. "Are you kidding me? It actually has Resurrection?"
