11: Fireball upgrade? Explosion damage

Eternal World, a hundred years of time.

There has never been such a thing as leveling up.

This is the most basic understanding, and it is also the consensus of everyone.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly tells you that his skills can be upgraded.

What do you think?

Apparently, Ye Xiao was in this state at this moment.

Looking at the Skill Upgrade Stone in his hand, Ye Xiao felt a sense of trance.

Is he dreaming?

But the constant coldness from his hand made Ye Xiao understand that all of this was real.

With a try-it-out mentality.

Ye Xiao used this Skill Upgrade Stone on Fireball.

--- ---

Ding! You used a Skill Upgrade Stone, and Fireball's level has been increased.

Fireball: Consumes 10 mana, deals 120 + 0.4 (Intelligence) fire damage to the target, cooldown: 1 second.

--- ---

After seeing the information prompt, Ye Xiao was completely shocked.

It actually works?

With a thought, Ye Xiao quickly searched near other corpses.

A moment later, he indeed found 3 more Skill Upgrade Stones.

However, like the first one, they were all incomplete.

Therefore, they could only be used on ordinary skills.

Ye Xiao didn't hesitate and continuously upgraded his Fireball three more times.

As Fireball's level increased, its base damage also rose from an initial 60 points to 300 points, and the Intelligence bonus also increased from an initial 0.3 to 0.7.

Converted, Ye Xiao's attributes remained unchanged.

But the damage of a single Fireball directly surged from the previous 414 points to 994 points, nearly breaking a thousand.

The damage of a single Fireball even reached a terrifying 24850 points.

If Ye Xiao was previously amazed by the terrifying damage of Venomous Assault.

Then at this moment, it only takes three seconds.

Ye Xiao's Fireball's total damage could completely surpass Venomous Assault.

This made Ye Xiao even more amazed by the effect of the Skill Upgrade Stone.

However, amidst his shock, he still couldn't figure out where this thing came from.

At this time, as he used up the Skill Upgrade Stones.

The four corpses that were originally on the ground incredibly turned into dust and disappeared directly.

What's going on?

Just as Ye Xiao was completely bewildered.

A faint cry for help suddenly came.

Ye Xiao turned his head sharply.

He then discovered that there was still an intact corpse in the corner of the lake bottom.

Ye Xiao walked over to this corpse.

The corpse was a young woman, dressed in blue clothes.

Although not as beautiful and enchanting as Bai Xiaoxiao, she was still a rare beauty.

Ye Xiao was very sure that the faint cry for help just now came from this vicinity.

However, the woman in front of him was already dead.

"Hallucination?"

Ye Xiao murmured softly.

"No, it's not, you didn't hear wrong, it's me calling you."

Ye Xiao's heart skipped a beat, "Who?"

As his voice fell, a transparent figure floated directly in front of Ye Xiao.

"My name is Zhao Xue, and I am the woman in blue you see in front of you."

Ye Xiao, seeing this scene, was slightly stunned.

"Psyker?"

"Yes."

Ye Xiao frowned. The Professions of the Eternal World are divided into five major systems.

Warrior, Magic, Beast Taming, Mystic, and Holy.

Ye Xiao's Mage belongs to a type within the Magic system.

And the Psyker he just mentioned belongs to the Mystic system.

The Mystic system and the Holy system are the two most special systems among the five major Professional systems in the Eternal World.

To become a Professional related to the Holy system, one must possess a matching Talent.

However, the Mystic system does not have such strict conditions.

But if you haven't awakened a related Talent, even if you forcibly switch to a Professional of that system.

You won't be able to exert too much power.

Within the Mystic system, there are Witches who are good at curses, Supernaturals who use mysterious powers, and Sorcerers who communicate with demonic beasts through souls.

The last one is the Psyker that Ye Xiao just mentioned.

This is a magical Profession that can control souls and spirits.

Only humans who have awakened Talents related to soul or spirit enhancement can exert their powerful abilities.

Ye Xiao also knew that after a Psyker reaches the third advancement, they can learn a unique special psionic skill.

The effect is that when the Psyker's physical body is killed, she can continue to exist in a soul form.

Apparently, Zhao Xue in front of him was in this state.

However, the duration of continuing to exist in a soul form is maintained by mana and abundant soul power.

During this period, if she cannot heal her physical body, or if she leaves her physical body beyond a certain range.

Her mana will be exhausted, and her soul will also dissipate, leading to complete death.

Ye Xiao didn't need to think to understand that Zhao Xue was calling him at this moment, presumably to ask him to help her repair her physical body.

And next, through Zhao Xue's explanation.

Ye Xiao also understood what had happened to her.

It turns out that not long ago.

Zhao Xue and her four companions entered this Miasma Hidden Forest together, but unexpectedly encountered the boss here, were defeated, and all died in battle.

And Zhao Xue, thanks to the Psyker's special ability, was able to remain immortal in a soul form.

But that was all.

She could only watch helplessly as her physical body and the corpses of her other companions were taken by the boss to the bottom of the lake.

As for why the boss did this.

Zhao Xue also didn't know.

After listening to Zhao Xue's narration, Ye Xiao suddenly thought.

The four corpses earlier all had varying degrees of corrosion, and they were all accompanied by Skill Upgrade Stones.

Could it be... that these never-before-heard Skill Upgrade Stones are refined from the corpses of Professionals?

It's just that the Boss hadn't had time to finish refining them before it died at Ye Xiao's hands.

As a result, Ye Xiao got a huge bargain.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiao felt a chill down his spine.

Demonic beasts can actually refine human corpses?

This was unheard of in the Eternal World's hundred-year history before this.

Did the predecessors deliberately conceal it, or have the demonic beasts changed?

Wait.

Ye Xiao's gaze suddenly fixed on Zhao Xue's corpse.

Including Zhao Xue, there were a total of 5 people.

But only by Zhao Xue's side was no Skill Upgrade Stone found.

At the same time, Zhao Xue's corpse was also the most well-preserved.

At first, Ye Xiao thought it was caused by Zhao Xue's Psyker skills.

But thinking about it now, he realized it wasn't right.

Could it be that refining this Skill Upgrade Stone requires not only the corpse of a Professional.

But even the soul of a Professional?

Ye Xiao was instantly horrified.

Suddenly, Zhao Xue said pitifully, "I want to ask you to help me?"

Ye Xiao: "How do you want me to help you?"

Zhao Xue: "The poisonous miasma in the secret realm has been corroding my body, I hope you can take my body out of the secret realm."

Ye Xiao didn't answer immediately.

Seeing this, Zhao Xue said, "As long as you are willing to help me, I will give you a reward."

"What reward?" Ye Xiao asked.

Zhao Xue hesitated for a moment, as if she had made a great decision.

"As long as you can take me out of here and protect me during my recovery, after it's done, I can give you a godforged stone."
