160: Chapter 160 Exclusive Skills, Talent Enhancement

Chapter 160 Exclusive Skill, Talent Enhancement

In the dark and silent seawater, the light blue light screen rippled slightly with the aftermath.

A prompt message kept flashing and scrolling into view.

[You have triggered the synthesis conditions for the exclusive skill "Qigong", please make a choice in time]

Exclusive skill synthesis.

This is the strengthening reward given after the Breathing Technique upgraded.

When the total number of skill slots reached the upper limit for the first time before, it had already been mentioned in the prompt messages.

Basically, only a few skills with special properties can be promoted to exclusive skills under accidentally triggered conditions.

Fang Cheng had quite a realization at this moment.

The so-called "accidental conditions" should be an excellent Cultivate environment similar to the right time, advantageous terrain, and harmonious people, or the ideal Realm state of "harmony between man and nature".

Only by reaching such a degree can the panel be activated, giving ordinary skills a chance to synthesize a new skill.

And this more special skill will obviously be more powerful than ordinary skills.

Fang Cheng's hesitation mainly lay in the estimation of returns before and after synthesis.

Because according to the small text annotations on the Breathing Technique skill slot, the step of promoting to the exclusive skill "Qigong" must also select two other skills with similar properties to meet the synthesis conditions.

In other words, this will reduce the strengthening rewards brought by the subsequent upgrades of the two skills.

Whether the choice of trading three for one is cost-effective is a question worth considering.

Seeming to sense Fang Cheng's confusion, the panel then surfaced a few new prompt messages.

[The maximum Rank of ordinary skills is lv5]

[Exclusive skills have no Rank limit and possess infinite growth potential]

[The strengthening rewards after practicing and upgrading ordinary skills are uncertain]

[Exclusive skills can be upgraded by Fusion with other skills, thereby obtaining more targeted skill special effects]

[After synthesizing the exclusive skill, the previously owned basic Physique rewards will be retained, the skill special effects will be passed down to the new skill through Legacy, and there will be a slight enhancement]

Seeing this, Fang Cheng's eyes shone, and most of his hesitation in his heart vanished.

According to the panel description, the process of upgrading exclusive skills is actually equivalent to a cultivation game, where you decide the final development direction of the skill.

And just like talents, choosing to synthesize will not erase the fruits of previous efforts.

There was an answer in his heart.

Next was choosing which two skills to use to synthesize "Qigong".

At the ends of the three skill slots on the panel, faintly glowing small arrows appeared, belonging to skills that met the conditions and had similar properties.

[Stance Training lv1 (106 / 250)]

[Meditation lv1 (13 / 250)]

[Gourmet lv1 (47 / 250)]

Fang Cheng scanned his gaze over them and quickly made a decision.

The "Flame of Spirituality" brought by Meditation had already demonstrated extraordinary significance, and subsequent upgrades would definitely still have great potential, so it definitely could not be easily used for synthesis.

Then, he could only choose the two skills "Stance Training" and "Gourmet" as synthesis Materials.

[Are you sure about this choice? Once the choice is made, it will affect the most basic development direction of the exclusive skill]

Fang Cheng was slightly startled, and then confirmed again without error.

With a thought, the three skills finally merged into one.

The panel instantly bloomed with a more dazzling and gorgeous light than before.

[Congratulations, you suddenly became enlightened in a certain extreme environment, mastered your skills thoroughly, and successfully mastered an exclusive skill]

[Qigong lv1 (63 / 250)]

Looking at the Rank displayed by the Qigong skill, Fang Cheng felt a wave of relief and even greater comfort.

After synthesizing the exclusive skill, it seemed that part of the experience points of the original skills were also retained and inherited to the new skill.

Rough estimation, it should be the result obtained after dividing the sum of the experience points of the three skills of Breathing Technique, Stance Training, and Gourmet by three.

Fang Cheng did not think too much for the time being, but looked more eagerly at what the strengthening reward of the exclusive skill "Qigong" actually was.

The first thing that caught his eye was "Poison Resistance".

[The body's resistance to bad food and toxic substances is increased by 120% on the basic Physique attributes]

Fang Cheng nodded inwardly.

This was a skill special effect passed down through the Legacy of "Gourmet", and it was increased by 20% on the original basis.

His gaze continued to look down.

[Evergreen Unfalling]

[When holding the stance, the whole body's True Qi is unified as one, covering all parts inside and outside the body and all vital parts, defense power is comprehensively increased by 300%, and Dantian Qi recovery speed is increased by 300%]

"As expected!"

Fang Cheng's heart surged with emotions, and he was quite satisfied with this new skill special effect.

Breathing Technique, Meditation, Stance Training, and Gourmet themselves belonged to the category of Qigong exercise methods.

The skill special effects were inevitably related to these branch skills.

With this defense attribute special effect, raising the muscle and bone strength of 41 points of Physique to 4 times the effect was simply a replica of the "Golden Bell Shield", and could be said to be an unadulterated hard Qigong.

Taking a closer look at every single one!

Perhaps, finally realizing the legendary "Indestructible Vajra Body" was not a fantasy.

It was just unknown.

Just how much difference would there be in future development between choosing Gourmet and Stance Training, and choosing Meditation and Stance Training...

While his thoughts were fluttering, the rustling sound of water currents being cleaved reached his ears.

Fang Cheng's gaze swept across the pitch-black sea area around him.

He discovered a group of Mermen swimming over quietly, lingering around and unwilling to disperse all along.

Those pair of greenish-glowing eyes, the scale-covered bodies, shimmering with a cold and dim luster in the seawater, appeared particularly eerie.

Fang Cheng did not have any fear, but instead took the initiative to swim towards them.

Seeing this, those Mermen suddenly became restless, letting out bursts of hissing sounds, seeming very excited.

One of the particularly strong Mermen also plucked up its courage and swam carefully towards Fang Cheng.

Specific expressions could not be seen on its fish-like face, but a kind of unusual awe emotion was revealed from its eyes and behavior.

Fang Cheng's lips parted slightly, and he tried to speak a sentence using strange guttural sounds that ordinary people could hardly make.

At the moment he spoke, the seawater did not pour in, but was naturally dispersed by a stream of Qi.

The voice was transmitted extremely clearly into the ears of that Mermen.

After a relatively successful communication session.

Fang Cheng finally learned part of what happened tonight and the situation on the sea surface.

When he saw those divers attacking with guns before, he felt they looked somewhat familiar.

At this moment, it further confirmed his inner guess: those people were members of the Noah Organization.

Fang Cheng's brows furrowed slightly.

If he had a choice, he did not want to continue having conflicts with this powerful organization.

But...

While contemplating, a strange sound of low chanting and murmuring faintly rang in his ears.

This sound was not emitted by the surrounding Mermen, but came from the darkest depths of the subconscious.

Fang Cheng cast his gaze toward the talent interface.

A certain talent that originally presented a blue light was now flashing with a mysterious and seductive purple light.

[Water Breathing (Purple Epic)]

[Possess the ability to breathe underwater for a long time, vastly enhancing your affinity with the marine environment and marine life.]

In addition to the change in the font's glow, two new entries unexpectedly appeared below the talent.

[You have obtained permanent worship reputation among the Mermen tribe, and can arbitrarily command any Mermen to serve you]

[In the marine environment, the effects of all combat abilities are increased by two times]
