Chapter 436: Deduction, A New Skill!
🕑 Added 2024-11-26 04:18:34 +0000 UTCThe demon god's eyes widened as he witnessed this scene. Without hesitation, he quickly glanced around and then, with a mere thought, stored the fragment inside his dimensional space.
"Search carefully, everyone! We might be able to find more sword fragments."
The demon god stood up and spoke seriously.
That fragment just now—if no mistake was made—was a piece of the cursed sword that had shattered long ago!
Who knows how many more fragments like it could still be out there?
With that thought, his eyes began to scan the area.
“The cursed sword fragments!?”
The other demon gods began to search diligently. The cursed sword's fragments should be nearby and not too far away.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, Lin San held his sword and continued his charge into the depths of the forest.
Before long, a thunderous beastly roar echoed from within the woods.
The deeper Lin San ventured into the forest, the stronger the beasts became.
Suddenly, a massive shadow surged forward from the front!
Crackle—
The giant figure seemed to be emitting powerful electrical currents, and a burnt smell lingered in the air.
Soon, Lin San saw a creature resembling a colossal black crocodile!
A Thunderstorm Crocodile!
An eight-star divine beast!
“A Thunderstorm Crocodile!?” Lin San's pupils contracted at the sight.
He hadn’t expected to encounter an eight-star divine beast so soon!
Moreover, this eight-star Thunderstorm Crocodile was extremely fierce. Its body, already as tough as steel, was surging with terrifying electricity, making it an incredibly difficult foe.
Without warning, it lunged at Lin San’s body.
But Lin San's reaction was swift; in an instant, he dodged out of the way.
Boom—
The Thunderstorm Crocodile crashed into the spot where Lin San had just stood, shaking the ground with a deafening explosion.
Electric currents burst from its body, spreading throughout the entire area.
Even though Lin San had dodged the initial attack, some of the powerful electrical currents still managed to shock him.
“Damn it!”
Pain shot through his body, making him wince.
[Absorbing Special Energy]
[Gained 20 Evolution Points]
“Huh?”
Ye Fan was momentarily stunned by the system's sudden notification.
Upon closer inspection, it seemed that the special energy being absorbed had awarded evolution points.
“Could it be... the electrical energy?”
Ye Fan observed that the electric currents that had struck Lin San were now being absorbed by the sword.
[Skill Comprehension in Progress…]
[Lightning Skill Deduction in Progress…]
Another system notification appeared, leaving Ye Fan confused.
[Ding!]
[Skill Deduction Successful. Spend 3 billion evolution points to learn the new skill.]
[Do you wish to learn it?]
"Learn it!"
Though uncertain why this was happening, learning a new skill was a no-brainer.
[Skill Acquired]
With the system's notification, Ye Fan noticed a new skill appearing on his interface.
[Thousand Lightning LV.1]: Unleashes powerful electrical currents, dealing damage to surrounding enemies (Swordmaster gains a certain level of lightning resistance)
[Can Evolve: 0/10 billion]
“It can even evolve?”
"Skills can evolve now?" Ye Fan was stunned by this discovery.
But there was no time to ponder. The Thunderstorm Crocodile attacked once again!
Roar—
The beast let out a thunderous bellow. In the next moment, fierce electrical currents erupted from its body, surging towards Lin San.
Lin San’s pupils contracted as he moved, trying to dodge the attack!
However, the range of the electrical assault was too vast, making it impossible to evade completely.
Some of the powerful currents struck his body.
Yet, this time, the electricity didn't seem to harm him as much as before!
“What’s going on...?”
Lin San's eyes widened in surprise.
Information suddenly flooded into his mind from the Ye Fan sword.
“The sword... it has a new skill...!?”
It seemed that while holding the sword, Lin San had gained a resistance to lightning!
Roar—
Before Lin San could think further, the Thunderstorm Crocodile charged at him again, its gaping jaws revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth.
This time, Lin San didn’t dodge. He gripped the Ye Fan sword tightly and swung it forward!
He no longer needed to fear the electricity!
His body now had lightning resistance!
As the sword slashed forward, a golden flame burst forth from its blade!
The powerful golden flames formed a crescent shape and shot directly into the Thunderstorm Crocodile’s mouth.
Boom—
With a deafening explosion, the beast’s jaws were split apart!
Golden blood sprayed everywhere.
Roar—
The Thunderstorm Crocodile let out a pained, anguished cry.
Seeing the opportunity, Lin San pressed his advantage and continued his assault with the Ye Fan sword.
As his energy continuously flowed into the sword, the blade erupted with unrelenting flames.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With each of Lin San’s wild slashes, the golden flames raged, engulfing the Thunderstorm Crocodile’s massive body.
It wasn’t long before the beast was entirely covered in flames.
After a brief struggle, the colossal creature finally collapsed to the ground, its life extinguished.
The golden flames quickly charred its body black.
[Killed Eight-Star Divine Beast, gained 800,000,000 evolution points]
[Absorbed Eight-Star Divine Beast’s blood essence, gained 8,000 energy points]
[Absorbed Eight-Star Divine Beast’s blood essence, gained 8,000 energy points]
“Huff... huff…”
After slaying the eight-star divine beast, Lin San sat down on the ground, panting heavily.
Defeating an eight-star divine beast was no easy feat.
He was utterly exhausted!
His body felt as if it were on the verge of collapse.
But as the Ye Fan sword absorbed more and more energy, passing it into his body, Lin San began to feel his strength gradually returning.
