167: No need to save skill points

After continuously activating ten profession-specific skill books with his Mental Energy, Song Ming's expression couldn't help but turn a little grim.

As he acquired more and more skills, profession-specific skill books were becoming less and less able to meet his requirements.

This was because after using a skill book, there was a possibility of getting duplicate skills.

Unfortunately, after Song Ming used all ten skill books, he ended up with seven duplicate skills.

In other words, only three new skills were obtained from the ten skill books.

However, he didn't dwell on it too much.

After all, profession-specific skill books were just the most common way to learn skills.

They naturally had their flaws.

Being able to get three skills was already a good deal for Song Ming.

What's more, one of them was a mental attack skill.

Besides the Spirit Pierce Technique he got last time, Song Ming had now acquired another mental attack skill.

However, unlike the Spirit Pierce Technique, which directly damaged the enemy's spirit, this new skill, Disorder God Art, was more focused on control and confusion.

Song Ming looked at the skill description.

Disorder God Art: Use Disorder God Art on a target to make them fall into a confused state for one minute, consuming 15 mana points, with a five-minute cooldown.

To put it simply, it put the enemy into a stunned state.

During this time, the enemy would naturally be unable to make any effective attacks or defenses.

The remaining two skills were respectively:

Profound Gold Palm: Consumes 15 mana points to condense a Profound Gold Great Hand Seal, covering a ten-meter range in front, dealing up to 20,000 damage, with a one-minute cooldown.

Mountain Collapse: Within a ten-meter radius, causes a severe earthquake effect, dealing up to 10,000 damage to enemy targets within the Mountain Collapse range, and applying a 20% slow effect, consuming 15 mana points, with a two-minute cooldown.

These remaining two skills seemed rather ordinary.

All of them were very offensive skills.

And Mountain Collapse also came with a slowing effect, making it a relatively comprehensive skill.

Even if it was only elevated to Heaven Rank, its effect on Song Ming would not be small.

Therefore, he didn't hesitate at all and directly elevated all three skills to Heaven Rank.

After all, he barely lacked skill points now.

There was no need to save them.

Consumed 71,050 skill points.

Disorder God Art (Yellow Rank One-star) → Disorder God Art (Heaven Rank One-star).

Disorder God Art (Heaven Rank One-star): Use Disorder God Art on a target to make them fall into a confused state for thirty minutes, and indiscriminately attack nearby allies, consuming 15 mana points, with a 30-second cooldown.

Consumed 71,050 skill points.

Profound Gold Palm (Yellow Rank One-star) → Profound Gold Great Hand Seal (Heaven Rank One-star).

Profound Gold Great Hand Seal (Heaven Rank One-star): Consumes 15 mana points to condense a Profound Gold Great Hand Seal, covering a 600-meter range in front, dealing up to 10,000,000 damage, with a 7-second cooldown.

Consumed 71,050 skill points.

Mountain Collapse (Yellow Rank One-star) → Mountain Collapse and Earth Crack (Heaven Rank One-star).

Mountain Collapse and Earth Crack (Heaven Rank One-star): Causes a severe earthquake effect within a 500-meter radius, dealing up to 5,000,000 damage to enemy targets within the Mountain Collapse range, and applying a 50% slow effect, and causing a knock-up, consuming 15 mana points, with a 15-second cooldown.

When Disorder God Art was elevated to Heaven Rank, not only did the control duration increase to thirty minutes, but an unexpected effect also appeared for Song Ming.

That was, enemy targets afflicted with Disorder God Art would indiscriminately attack other creatures around them.

This made Song Ming very curious about what kind of effect it would produce if this skill were elevated to a Forbidden Spell.

Would it be able to increase the number of affected targets from one to multiple?

And make them fight among themselves?

If such an effect could be achieved, his trip to the Black Land might be much easier.

However, he thought about it and then gave up on the idea.

In a short period, he didn't face too much of a threat.

After all, there were still over 500,000 Spirit Army lying in his summon space.

Although most of them were relatively low-level zombies and imps, the sheer number was significant.

Whether for offense or defense, he had more than enough.

For now, a Cosmic-level Disorder God Art was not needed.

Currently, he was still focused on accumulating skill points.

He aimed to quickly elevate his strongest ability, Heaven and Earth Seal, to Cosmic-level!

25 skill points per second.

That's over two million per day.

In five days, he could accumulate over ten million points.

By then, he would be able to elevate Heaven and Earth Seal to Cosmic-level.

Its power would also reach another level.

Sweeping through the Black Land would be effortless.

Of the remaining two skills, besides Profound Gold Great Hand Seal, Mountain Collapse and Earth Crack also gave him quite a surprise.

The 500-meter range Mountain Collapse and Earth Crack effect, with knock-up and slow, and even five million true damage.

It was quite comprehensive.

He was quite satisfied with it.

After all the skill point allocation, it truly cost several million skill points.

If others knew, they would probably drop their jaws instantly.

Ordinary people would deliberate for a long time over adding a single skill point, but Song Ming, in just a few minutes, spent several million skill points.

However, the returns were also astonishing.

At least for this trip to the Black Land, Song Ming felt there would be no difficulty.

He even dared to venture into the front-line battlefield.

One must know that given the danger of the front-line battlefield, without a Rank above 150, it would be impossible to survive there for more than three days.

This showed the terrifying strength of Song Ming.

Subsequently, he looked into his backpack space and took out a golden, radiant, peculiar book.

It was none other than the Mythical Equipment Forging Book he obtained after destroying the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

After using it, there was a fifty percent chance to upgrade a gold-grade equipment to Mythical equipment.

Song Ming then took out a ring from his space, which emitted a faint black glow.

The main body of the ring was a coiling, ferocious black Dragon.

Its head and tail were connected, forming a uniquely shaped ring.

It was the Level 100 gold-grade equipment, black dragon ring!

It was also the target equipment Song Ming was preparing to upgrade to Mythical grade.

Its special effect, Elemental Immunity, could immunize against all magic damage.

For Song Ming, none of the equipment he possessed could compare to the black dragon ring.

Placing the two items together, Song Ming then poured out colorful zombie crystal cores from his backpack space.

The crystal cores, when used in conjunction with the Mythical Equipment Forging Book, could greatly increase the probability of forging Mythical equipment.

Although Song Ming's profession was not that of an Artifact Refiner, the existence of the Mythical Equipment Forging Book allowed him the possibility of crafting a Mythical equipment by himself.

No need to rely on others.

It also prevented the secret from leaking out.

After all, a Mythical equipment could even tempt a powerhouse like God Yi.

Let alone others.

Although Song Ming considered himself powerful, he would not needlessly bring trouble upon himself.

Moreover, personally crafting a Mythical equipment was also a very fulfilling experience!
