192: Horrible mutation effect

Seeing Zhou Yi leave, Ye Xiao did not stop him. Instead, he walked over to a chair that hadn't been destroyed and sat down.

As for whether Zhou Yi would go to the Zhi Family to report, Ye Xiao wasn't afraid. With his current combat power, there couldn't be anything in Liyue City that could threaten him.

Furthermore, he thought Zhou Yi shouldn't be that foolish.

Amidst Zhou Wan and Zhou Ling's unrecoverable shock, Ye Xiao casually opened his panel.

After killing Erich of the Xiling Clan, he successfully obtained a black dragon scale. Currently, Ye Xiao had a total of 10,000 Black Spirit Power, with the majority naturally coming from Erich.

After a brief moment of thought, Ye Xiao decided to inject Black Spirit Power into Black Dragon's Wrath, curious to see if there would be any astonishing effects.

As black energy surged out, the panel information quickly popped up.

--- ---

【Ding! You have injected 1000 points of Black Spirit Power into Black Dragon's Wrath.】

【Ding! Your Black Dragon's Wrath has mutated.】

【Black Dragon's Wrath (Mutated): A powerful sonic wave attack that merges the energy of a black dragon and the Xiling Clan. It is formless and traceless. Upon activation, it unleashes the Black Dragon's Wrath on all targets within a 200-meter radius centered on yourself, dealing special damage equal to 400% of all attributes every 0.5 seconds. Simultaneously, it consumes 4000 mana points every 0.5 seconds. Targets affected by this damage will fall into a brief state of confusion, with the duration of the state depending on the target's mental resistance.】

--- ---

Because the Black Dragon's Wrath skill itself was of a higher grade than Fireball, the corresponding Black Spirit Power injected became 1000 points.

However, upon seeing the effect after the mutation, Ye Xiao was momentarily unsure whether to be happy or upset.

Due to the previous fusion with the Black Dragon's body, the damage of Black Dragon's Wrath had already doubled, reaching 400%. This time, the result of the mutation did not directly increase the damage of Black Dragon's Wrath.

But the casting frequency changed from 1 second to 0.5 seconds, which indirectly doubled the damage again, reaching 800% damage per second.

Currently, Ye Xiao's total attributes were 94,639 points, meaning Ye Xiao's Black Dragon's Wrath dealt 757,112 damage per second.

This damage was truly outrageous, but equally outrageous was its mana consumption.

Before the mutation, Black Dragon's Wrath only consumed 2000 mana points per second, but now it consumed 4000 every 0.5 seconds, which meant 8000 per second, a fourfold increase.

With Ye Xiao's current 260,000 mana points, he could only cast it continuously for 32 seconds.

For a normal person, even if the power wasn't as high as Ye Xiao's, the mana consumption alone would be a huge problem.

Closing the skill description for Black Dragon's Wrath, Ye Xiao had no intention of trying again. Firstly, he had a limited amount of Black Spirit Power, and each use diminished it.

Unless a truly rubbish effect was produced, Ye Xiao did not want to waste his limited Black Spirit Power.

And overall, the power of Black Dragon's Wrath had indeed doubled.

As for mana consumption, that was easy to solve.

When Zhou Yi returned, asking him to help collect some Skill Stone that restore mana and increase maximum mana would solve the problem.

Anyway, he had the Infinite Skill Bar, so this drawback of the mutated Black Dragon's Wrath was not a true drawback for him.

Next, with the successful mutation of Black Dragon's Wrath, Ye Xiao gained a bit more confidence, so he set his sights on Dragon God Descent.

He had thoroughly experienced the power of this transformation skill in the Xiling Ruins, and the exhilarating feeling of his blood boiling still left him with endless aftertastes.

He wanted to know if Dragon God Descent would bring more surprises after its mutation.

Thinking of it, he acted. Black energy surged from Ye Xiao again.

--- ---

【Ding! You have injected 1000 points of Black Spirit Power into Dragon God Descent.】

【Ding! Your Dragon God Descent has mutated.】

【Dragon God Descent (Mutated): Upon activation, you will be protected by the Dragon God and transform into a dragon. Your all attributes will be increased by 200%, health regeneration rate and mana regeneration rate will be increased by 500%, and you will be immune to all dragon-language magic. While in Dragon God state, all your skill cooldowns are reduced by 90%. Duration: 3 minutes. After the Dragon God state ends, you will enter a 10-minute weakened period, during which all your attributes will decrease by 90%. Cooldown: 24 hours.】

--- ---

Ye Xiao blinked. This mutation effect was a bit too outrageous.

His all attributes increase doubled, meaning after activation, Ye Xiao's attributes would become three times their original value.

And the recovery rate for health and mana also increased from the original 300% to 500%. With this recovery rate, his sustained combat power after using Black Dragon's Wrath was greatly enhanced.

Even more outrageous was that cooldowns were directly reduced to 10% of their original value, an incredibly significant change.

The only pity was that the duration and cooldown remained unchanged.

However, a negative effect was added.

For others, the additional 10-minute weakened period with a 90% decrease in all attributes after this mutation would be quite fatal.

If they failed to kill the enemy during Dragon God Descent, or encountered an emergency after it ended, it would be a complete disaster.

However, Ye Xiao had no worries whatsoever.

As long as he combined it with his Restriction Barrier, he could directly activate the damage immunity effect of the Restriction Barrier after Dragon God Descent ended.

This negative effect simply did not exist for Ye Xiao.

Because, compared to the mutation effect of Black Dragon's Wrath, Ye Xiao was even more satisfied with the mutation effect of Dragon God Descent.

However, after mutating two skills, Ye Xiao only had 8000 Black Spirit Power left.

And he had no skills on hand that he was willing to spend Black Spirit Power on.

After some thought, Ye Xiao's gaze involuntarily fell upon his equipment.

Should he try?

Ye Xiao was actually a bit hesitant.

However, given the mutation effects of the previous three skills, Ye Xiao had a general understanding of the effect of Black Spirit Power: it would only modify existing attributes and would not erase any of the existing effects.

So, Ye Xiao resolutely decided to take a gamble.

After repeatedly examining his equipment, Ye Xiao finally set his eyes on the endless chain of life.

There was a reason why Ye Xiao chose the necklace.

The necklace offered him the greatest boost, and with 8000 points of Black Spirit Power still in hand, if he got a bad effect, he would still have a chance to try again.

If he were to try later, the margin for error would be too low.

【Ding! You have injected 1000 points of Black Spirit Power into the endless chain of life (Mythical).】

【Ding! Your endless chain of life (Mythical) has mutated.】

【endless chain of life (Mythical) (Mutated)】

【All Attributes + 1000】

【Smelting Effect: Increases the projectile speed of all fire-type skills.】

【Blessing of Wind Effect: Increases the projectile speed of all wind-type skills.】

【Effect One: All your Professional skills gain 1000 additional damage.】

【Effect Two: For every skill you possess, your maximum health increases by 1200.】

【Negative Effect: All damage you receive is doubled.】

【Wearing Level: Level 90】

--- ---

“Phew!”

Ye Xiao looked at the mutated endless chain of life and, for the first time, felt his breathing quicken.

Especially when he saw his health directly soar from over 15 million to over 46.9 million.

At this moment, even Ye Xiao, who had seen many great storms, found it difficult to maintain his facial expression.

This health, wasn't it a bit too dirty?

Previously, with over 15 million health, Ye Xiao found it incredibly terrifying.

But after all, in the entire Eternal World, it wasn't as if there were no beings with over ten million health.

The Guardian Beast he encountered earlier had 30 million health.

Little Gold, in its prime, according to its own bragging, also had over ten million.

Of course, if one excluded monsters and only counted human Professionals, it wasn't as if there were no individuals with over ten million health.

It was recorded that a Professional once had an SSS-grade Talent that increased maximum health. It was said that at level 200, he crafted a set of equipment for himself that increased maximum health and health regeneration.

And eighty percent of his skills were also related to health.

With various other aids, his health successfully surpassed ten million. However, unlike Ye Xiao's situation, that Professional, known as the 'Human's First Blood Tank,' achieved this at the cost of sacrificing a large amount of damage and defense.

Regardless, there were indeed Professionals with tens of millions of health among humans.

So, besides joy, Ye Xiao didn't have much emotional fluctuation.

But now, nearly 47 million health.

This had almost far exceeded Ye Xiao's cognitive scope.

Furthermore, he believed that breaking the 50 million mark would not be difficult.

He, a mage, not only had ridiculously strong physical and magical attacks, but his defense and resistance also far surpassed ordinary people.

Now, combined with 50 million health.

At this moment, Ye Xiao truly couldn't imagine how he could lose.

As for the negative effect brought by the Black Spirit Power, taking double the original damage.

Although it was a negative effect, compared to the health increasing by two times, overall, the health still increased by one time.

The increase in all attributes and Effect One, however, now seemed negligible in Ye Xiao's eyes.

Looking at his magnificent health.

Ye Xiao still found it hard to suppress the wild joy in his heart.

More importantly, he didn't expect his luck to be so good; three skills and one piece of equipment, all mutated only once, and he got satisfying results.

Looking at the 7000 points of Black Spirit Power he still had.

Ye Xiao thought for a moment and finally decided to try another piece of equipment.

At the same time, he warned himself internally that this would be the last time.

And this time, Ye Xiao's target was naturally the dragon's sigh robe.

This was a mythical equipment that grew with the user's level, and it had also been forged with divine wind ingot stone previously.

Now, as Ye Xiao's level rose to 91, this robe provided Ye Xiao with a full 6066 points of all-element resistance and a 70.3% physical damage reduction.

It was the piece of equipment with the strongest defensive effect among all his gear.

If the mutated effect was good, it would be of great help to Ye Xiao.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiao no longer hesitated.

He directly injected Black Spirit Power into the robe.

--- ---

【Ding! You have injected 1000 points of Black Spirit Power into the dragon's sigh robe (Mythical).】

【Ding! Your dragon's sigh robe (Mythical) has mutated.】

--- ---

However, this time.

After eagerly checking the robe's mutation effect, Ye Xiao's expression stiffened.

The amplification effect was quite good: all-element resistance increased to 8088 points, and physical damage reduction became 80.5%, which was a decent improvement.

But what left Ye Xiao speechless was the additional negative effect.

Wearing this robe, your damage is reduced by 30%.

It reduced Ye Xiao's damage by nearly a third; how could Ye Xiao tolerate that?

Without thinking, he injected Black Spirit Power again.

However, this time the injection became 2000 points.

Ye Xiao felt quite a pang of regret, but not spending it was clearly not an option.

--- ---

【Ding! You have injected 2000 points of Black Spirit Power into the dragon's sigh robe (Mythical).】

【Ding! Your dragon's sigh robe (Mythical) has mutated.】

--- ---

Seeing the message pop up, Ye Xiao's mood was no longer as calm as before.

If he didn't get a good mutation effect this time, his remaining Black Spirit Power would only be enough for one more attempt.

Ye Xiao silently prayed for a moment, then gritted his teeth and opened the robe's attributes.

However, upon seeing it, Ye Xiao's eyes widened instantly, and his heart leaped to his throat.

This... Ye Xiao felt a bit dizzy, then showed a strange expression.

For a moment, he found it difficult to decide whether to keep this mutated effect or not.

--- ---

【dragon's sigh robe (Mythical)】

【Trait: Attributes increase with Professional level.】

【Current Level: Level 91】

【Free Attribute Points: 2730】

【Effect One: All-element resistance increased by 6066.】

【Effect Two: Reduces physical damage by 70.3%.】

【Negative Effect: Different negative effects are obtained based on where free attribute points are allocated.】

【Wearing Level: None】

--- ---

Before the mutation, the dragon's sigh robe provided him with a total of 1365 attribute points, which were fixedly distributed among Constitution, Agility, and Intelligence.

However, now, after the mutation, all the basic attributes of the robe had disappeared, replaced by 2730 free attribute points.

This was double the attribute points provided before, and more importantly, they were free attribute points, which Ye Xiao could allocate according to his needs.

And because it was a growth-type equipment, Ye Xiao could easily calculate that the robe provided him with 30 free attribute points at level 1.

This effect couldn't be described as bad; it simply exceeded Ye Xiao's expectations.

But the problem now was that its negative effect was not directly given.

Ye Xiao also didn't know what the effect would be after allocating the points.

This was what Ye Xiao was most worried about.

If a bad negative effect appeared, that would be a huge joke.
