Chapter 189 - 188: Qi Yue’s New Skills
Chapter 189: Chapter 188: Qi Yue’s New Skills
Qi Yue calmly looked at her three Talents.
When she first saw "Sentimental," her elegant brows furrowed slightly.
But she knew these Talents were random and not a direct reflection of her.
She just hoped Zhao Chi wouldn’t get the wrong impression of her because of it.
Of course, Zhao Chi wouldn’t.
He was fully focused on modifying the information.
〖Please select the transfer target〗
Both "swift" and "Exclusive Ripping" were good.
But "Exclusive Ripping" sounded more impactful.
Select [Exclusive Ripping].
〖Please select the transfer effect〗
Then there wasn’t much of a choice.
Zhao Chi transferred the first Effect of "swift" to the second Effect of "Exclusive Ripping."
〖Current data match is moderate. Transfer success rate is 41%. Confirm?〗
The success rate wasn’t high.
Zhao Chi tried clicking on the success rate.
〖Consume Racial Improvement Points to increase the success rate?〗
’Heh heh...’
’Isn’t this perfect?’
Zhao Chi speculated that these Talents and the racial improvement traits were actually very similar concepts.
Perhaps even the exact same thing.
After all, even these Improvement Points could be used here.
’Whatever the case, it’s beneficial to me.’
He currently had 25 Racial Improvement Points, so he didn’t hesitate to spend 6 of them.
〖6 Improvement Points consumed. Success rate increased to 100%.〗
Qi Yue watched Zhao Chi with wide, curious eyes.
’There are only three Talents, can’t he just pick one?’
’Why is he tapping all over the place?’
Zhao Chi proceeded to hit "Confirm."
〖Data transfer successful!〗
The Talent modification was complete.
[Talent] Exclusive Ripping
[Level] C Level (Upgradeable)
[Effect] 1. When attacking a single target, each Attack grants +5% Attack Power. Resets after disengaging from combat.
[Effect] 2. Attack Speed +20%.
’Isn’t this perfect now?’
The original Effect of Exclusive Ripping already required stacking Attack Speed.
But now, the second Negative Effect was gone, replaced by a direct boost to Attack Speed.
Combined with Qi Yue’s Attack Speed Enhancement...
From now on, Exclusive Ripping would be Qi Yue’s exclusive Talent!
Select!
"My... my lord, I think there’s something wrong with my eyes. How did I see the Talent change?"
’Hmph, hmph.’
Qi Yue was indeed calm and observant, but she had never experienced something like this.
A Talent changing in real-time was truly unbelievable.
Who would believe it if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes?
And now that Qi Yue had truly seen it with her own eyes, she still suspected she was mistaken.
Zhao Chi said gently, "This is your exclusive Talent, and it’s our little secret. Don’t tell anyone else, okay?"
"Ah! A secret? Our secret? Yes, of course, yes!"
The usually composed Qi Yue couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion.
Hearing Zhao Chi call it a secret stirred something in her Inner Heart.
She stammered slightly as she spoke.
A secret shared between two people inherently carries a sense of intimacy.
Aside from the emotional aspect, in terms of sheer power, this Talent was also very strong.
Qi Yue’s round eyes widened as she looked joyfully at the Talent that was now hers alone.
As she stared, she started to gulp.
She had always been extremely diligent.
But the sad truth was that while personal effort was useful, it only accounted for a small part of one’s success.
The majority really came down to Talent.
And even... Identity.
Qi Yue the commoner and Qi Yue the Hero were truly two different people.
Now, with her Identity elevated and her Talent strengthened, Qi Yue had truly been enhanced in every aspect.
But that wasn’t all.
She still needed to choose her Skills.
Zhao Chi clicked [Select Spiritual Skills].
He couldn’t transfer information for Skills, but fortunately, there were many options to choose from.
A long list of Spiritual Techniques displayed a large number of Basic Spirit Techniques.
Among them were many practical ones.
For example, Gu Qing’s Treatment or Tang Ruan’s Taunt.
The three Female Heroes each had different roles.
Gu Qing was naturally a healer, but recently she seemed to be leaning towards a role that focused on crowd control.
Tang Ruan was a tank, a role she performed very well—perfectly, even.
Qi Yue had 8 points in agility and 7 points in Power, so Zhao Chi wanted to develop her into a fast-attack Warrior.
Her Attack Speed was not an issue.
In terms of Damage, with the bonus from her Talent, she could become even stronger.
Her Skills should also be chosen to complement this direction.
After a while, Zhao Chi selected several candidate Spiritual Techniques.
[1. Moon Blade Slash]
[2. Spiritual Shield]
[3. Sharp Blade Skill]
[4. Weak Defense Skill]
[5. Speed Attack Technique]
[6. Fierce Attack Skill]
[7. Anger Attack Skill]
Just like when he was choosing Skills for Tang Ruan, Zhao Chi was hesitant.
Although he had only selected seven candidate Skills, there were many other good ones.
But after a comprehensive comparison, these seven were the most suitable.
Zhao Chi most wanted to choose the first one for Qi Yue: "Moon Blade Slash."
Zhao Chi had seen this Spiritual Technique at the academy.
He saw a Swordsmanship instructor demonstrate it.
It allowed one to gather Spiritual Power at the edge of a blade and unleash a beam of Spiritual Energy Sword Qi from a distance.
It would shoot out like a crescent moon.
It could attack targets several meters away and looked incredibly cool.
It would also give her some ranged capability.
Unfortunately, while the skill was cool and practical, it didn’t increase Damage.
And like the Thunder Light Technique, it could only be used on a single target.
He would keep it as a candidate for now.
The second option was "Spiritual Shield."
This was the skill that Zhao Ji and his men had all mastered.
It used Spiritual Energy to summon a Spiritual Shield.
If Qi Yue had this, she could get rid of her current Iron Shield and dual-wield Iron Sabers. Her Combat Power would definitely increase.
And it would be a manifold increase.
The essence of a Spiritual Shield is Spiritual Energy.
It has almost no Weight.
This was far more flexible and convenient than an Iron Shield.
But this skill also had its drawbacks.
Since it was summoned with Spiritual Energy, its Durability wasn’t as high as an Iron Shield’s.
Last night, Tang Ruan had been frantically stabbed by countless swords and burned by intense flames.
Although the Iron Shield in her hand had been battered beyond recognition, turning into a tattered piece of iron...
...even that piece of iron provided a bit of protection, shielding Tang Ruan until the very end.
A Spiritual Shield wouldn’t have been able to last that long.
Moreover, Spiritual Energy is finite.
Once it was depleted, she would have no defense.
For fast-paced, quick attacks, a Spiritual Shield was an excellent choice.
But in a prolonged battle, it would prove to be somewhat inadequate.
Besides, Zhao Chi didn’t quite understand something. Spiritual Shield was clearly a single-target skill, so why did all of those Blood Race Soldiers know it last night?
’Perhaps Zhao Ji used some sort of item?’
Spiritual Shield was also decent. Another candidate.
The third was "Sharp Blade Skill."
This Spiritual Technique was similar to the "Government Affairs" and "Swordsmanship" Skills; it was a Spiritual Technique that could directly enhance a Weapon.
After using it, the Weapon in hand would receive a 10% Enhancement to All Attributes.
This included Attack Power, Durability, or other Effects.
If the Weapon was of high quality, choosing this skill would be very worthwhile.
Most importantly, this skill was similar to "Encourage" and could also be used on a group.
It could also boost the subordinate Soldiers.
Therefore, compared to this skill, "Moon Blade Slash" and "Spiritual Shield" seemed too limited.
The fourth was "Weak Defense Skill."
This was also a debuffing Spiritual Technique that could lower an enemy’s Defense.
Similar to "Taunt Skill," it could also be used on a group of enemies.
The returns on this skill were especially high when the enemy had high Defense.
Skills 5 through 7 were "Speed Attack Technique," "Fierce Attack Skill," and "Anger Attack Skill."
These three Skills were similar.
They could respectively increase Attack Speed, Attack, and Critical Strike by 10%.
They were all very common status-type Skills.
Although they seemed unremarkable...
...this type of skill increased Branch Attributes, was Effective immediately upon use, worked in any environment, and had no conditional restrictions.
Like steamed buns and rice, they were very simple but useful Spiritual Skills.
Moreover, besides being used on oneself, they could also provide a Bonus to teammates.
So, compared to these group Buff Skills, the single-target Skills seemed somewhat not worth it.
Of course, this depended on her role.
If Qi Yue’s role was a single-target Hero, then choosing a single-target Spiritual Technique would naturally be better.
But Zhao Chi still wanted to develop Qi Yue into a Commander-in-Chief type Hero, letting her lead Soldiers.
All things considered, choosing a group skill was the best option.
Among the group skills, both weakening enemies and strengthening allies were good choices.
It was just that the returns from weakening enemies were very volatile.
Whereas strengthening allies was very stable.
Zhao Chi preferred stability.
Right now, the strongest weapons were only Iron Weapons, and the territory was still at a Basic Level. It would take some time to equip everyone with good weapons, so he had to temporarily give up on Sharp Blade Skill.
The remaining three were all pretty similar.
However, there were some differences.
Fierce Attack Skill and Anger Attack Skill could increase Attack by 10% and Critical Strike by 10%.
Attack and Critical Strike were both Branch Attributes of Power.
Qi Yue had 7 points of Power, and her subordinate Female Soldiers had 6 points of Power.
If he wanted to increase these Attributes, he would only need to enhance the corresponding Attributes twice after leveling up.
So even without these two Skills, he could make up for it later through Enhancement and adding points.
But Speed Attack Technique was different.
Right now, Qi Yue and her Female Soldiers were all focused on increasing Attack Speed.
They had already reached what could be considered the limit of their Attack Speed.
If he added this skill on top of that, it would be an Ability that surpassed the limit.
Having analyzed it to this point, Zhao Chi no longer hesitated.
Select [5. Speed Attack Technique].
(Speed Attack Technique: Basic Spirit Technique. Consumes 10 Spiritual Power, increases Attack Speed by 10%, Duration 10 minutes.)
The numbers weren’t high.
But if Zhao Chi was inside Qi Yue, their Spiritual Pressure abilities could stack.
And Zhao Chi’s Female Tutor Talent would also be Effective, which would change things completely.
The Spiritual Skills selection was also complete.
Finally, there was only one item left.
Click [Set Hero Attributes].
Similarly, Qi Yue also had 50 Hero Attributes points.
This step was also difficult.
Commander, Martial Arts, Spiritual Pressure, Government Affairs—they were all very useful.
First, she absolutely needed Commander, and she absolutely needed Martial Arts.
’Spiritual Pressure... let’s forget about that one.’
’Government Affairs... I’ll add a few points. After all, it can improve the Attributes of Weapons and Equipment, which is a big help in combat.’
