Chapter 504: Defense Type Divine Ability!
‘Comprehending [Yin and Yang Chaotic Formula] would cost 1000 Deity Coins, while [Essence Devouring Technique] would cost 500 Deity Coins…’ Tang Li Xue checked the cost of two martial arts one by one.
“Damn it! Why do I only have 1300 Deity Coins?! I still lack 200 Deity Coins! System, can you please give me a 20 or 30 percent discount this time, so I can comprehend both of them? Pretty please~!” Tang Li Xue tried to beg from her system.
But the system did not even bother to answer her unreasonable request and acted as if it did not hear anything.
“Tsk~! Cheapskate system~! Zero star review~!” Tang Li Xue complained in displeasure.
Tang Li Xue tapped her smooth chin with her slender finger and started to ponder carefully.
In the long run [Yin and Yang Chaotic Formula] was certainly a much better choice, since it could help Tang Li Xue bring out the power of her [Imperial Moon Fox] bloodline and [Pure Sun Dragon] bloodline as the medium of Yin and Yang.
But comprehending [Essence Devouring Technique] would certainly help Tang Li Xue right away since it could cover one of her biggest weaknesses, her sustainability.
Tang Li Xue’s divine abilities might be very powerful, but they also consume too much of her energy or stamina.
The most obvious examples were when she passed out from extreme exhaustion after defeating Sapphire Wasp Queen, or when she was almost exhausted after killing tens of assassins and was forced to flee from the rest of them before.
However, it would be a different story if Tang Li Xue has [Essence Devouring Technique] back then.
Not only did Tang Li Xue could recover her energy or stamina from devouring their essence after killing them, but she could also gain EXP too!
You should know that Tang Li Xue did not gain EXP from killing the living creatures, but by eating them!
In short, mastering [Essence Devouring Technique] would not only increase her sustainability but also give her one more way to gain EXP!
Getting more EXP means that she could level up faster and evolve faster in the future!
After considering carefully it for a few minutes, Tang Li Xue gritted her pearl-white teeth and made a decision in her heart.
*Ding!
[Do you want to comprehend the (Essence Devouring Technique) at the cost of 500 Deity Coins? Yes/No]
After hesitating again for a few seconds, Tang Li Xue finally chose ‘Yes’.
Tang Li Xue had a hunch that she would really need this [Essence Devouring Technique] soon.
Especially since she would be participating in the Foxes Hunting Festival a few days later.
The information about [Essence Devouring Technique] flooded into her mind in that instant.
Tang Li Xue closed her topaz blue eyes as she quickly digested the information about [Essence Devouring Technique].
Tang Li Xue already knew that this [Essence Devouring Technique] was a very evil Ancient Martial Art Technique before, but there was more detailed information about it after she completely comprehended it.
This [Essence Devouring Technique] was actually made by imitating the horror ability of the Undead Race!
By mastering it, Tang Li Xue would be able to devour all kinds of energy from her surroundings and opponents, then convert it for her own use.
If Tang Li Xue mastered [Essence Devouring Technique], she could easily devour the enemy’s Qi, life force, Vitality Energy, soul power, and so on until the enemy turned into dust, then convert it to increase her own cultivation, level, or she could also use it to recover her own stamina, Qi, and Vitality Energy.
But unfortunately, this [Essence Devouring Technique] was still much weaker if it compared to the true ability of the Undead Race.
One of the biggest differences was that this [Essence Devouring Technique] could only be activated if there was physical contact between the user and the target.
Meanwhile, Undead Race’s ability could devour all of the energies from the opponent several miles away without even touching them!
Tang Li Xue slowly opened her topaz blue eyes after digesting all of the information about [Essence Devouring Technique] while muttering in amazement: “What an amazingly powerful technique…”
“If I could master it quickly and wield it along with my [Energy Manipulation] divine ability, then the power of this [Essence Devouring Technique] would be even more unimaginable.” Tang Li Xue said with an excited tone.
Yes, if she could integrate [Essence Devouring Technique] and [Energy Manipulation], then everything she condensed from [Energy Manipulation] divine ability such as the usual white swords, arrows, javelins, and so on could trigger the Essence Devouring effect every time they touched the enemies!
“Okay, all I need to do is to keep practicing this [Essence Devouring Technique] until I completely mastered it. If I practice after I swallowing the [Comprehension Pill], I can proficiently wield it in one night, but that is for later!” Tang Li Xue spoke as she stared at the Green Gourd right now.
Tang Li Xue used her [Twin Moons] divine ability and summoned out her perfect copy.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy jumped down from the bed and excitedly yelled: “Is it already time for me to taste the royal jelly and honey?”
Tang Li Xue nodded and told her perfect copy: “That is right. You take two bottles from the kitchen first.”
Perfect copy impatiently ran out from the bedroom using [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step], her slim figure flashed to the kitchen and retrieved two bottles from the cabinet, then flashed back into the bedroom again.
It did not even take her a tenth second to do it with her current super speed.
Tang Li Xue poured out the Sapphire Armored Wasp’s royal jelly from the Green Gourd into the two bottles.
Why did Tang Li Xue suddenly share the royal jelly with her perfect copy right now?
Tang Li Xue actually got a flash of inspiration after she saw the effect’s description from the royal jelly with her [All Knowing Eyes].
[First-time consumption will have a one hundred percent chance to awaken defense-type divine ability according to the consumer race.]
Then what will happen if she and her perfect copy consumed the royal jelly at the same time?!
Will both Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy awaken the same defense-type divine ability or different defense-type divine ability?
This really made Tang Li Xue very curious, so she decided to share the royal jelly with her perfect copy right now and drank it simultaneously with her perfect copy!
“All right… On my count. 3, 2, 1, GO! Drink it!” Tang Li Xue instructed while gulping all the royal jelly in the bottle.
Her perfect copy also drank it at the same time as her.
*Ding!
[You have consumed a precious treasure and successfully arouse your (Pure Sun Dragon) bloodline. You have awakened (Sun Dragon Armor) divine ability!]
*Ding!
[Your perfect copy has consumed a precious treasure and successfully arouse your (Imperial Moon Fox) bloodline. You have awakened (Moon Emperor Protection) divine ability!]
“Success~!!! From now on, I will have three defense-type divine abilities~! Ahahaha~!!!” Tang Li Xue shouted while laughing excitedly.
But it was actually not over yet…
*Ding!
[(Sun Dragon Armor) and (Moon Emperor Protection) had clashing elements, so they started to have violent confrontations with each other!]
“Wha… What?! How could…” Before Tang Li Xue could finish her words…
Tang Li Xue suddenly felt her entire body become extremely hot, then one second later, she became extremely cold… It kept changing like that every second!
It was truly a hellish experience!
Just when Tang Li Xue almost passed out…
*Ding!
[Under the effect of (Golden Body) divine ability, both (Sun Dragon Armor) and (Moon Emperor Protection) started to blend into one with it!]
[Congratulation! You have obtained (Sun And Moon Aegis) divine ability!]
The hot and cold effect subsided, but Tang Li Xue was covered in sweat, and her stunning face became extremely pale.
“Huff, huff, huff… Damn it! That was too dangerous… I really should not be too greedy.” Tang Li Xue complained while breathing heavily.
After calming down and taking a few minutes of rest, Tang Li Xue checked the effect of her new divine ability.
[Sun And Moon Aegis]:
*Increase overall defense (physical and elemental) and status resistance by 100%.
*Reduce any damage received by 30%.
*Reflect 25% of the damage you received as pure damage to your nearby opponents.
*Every 1% of your lost HP will increase your health regeneration by 10%.
*Automatically resist deadly blows 3 times a day.
*Purify any debuff, poison, or curse every 5 seconds.
*Any damage you receive under 1000 points would be nullified.
*Active effect: Grant Sun And Moon Protection (Became invulnerable for 1,5 seconds. Cooldown: 1 day)
Tang Li Xue instantly became dumbfounded when she saw the overpowered effect of her new divine ability, [Sun And Moon Aegis].
“What the hell?! This, this… Isn’t this divine ability too powerful?!” Tang Li Xue stammered in shock and disbelief.
Moreover, this [Sun And Moon Aegis] was a passive divine ability, so Tang Li Xue did not need to manually activate it, and it will not interrupt [Ethereal Form] anymore like the previous [Golden Body]!
“Worth it~! All of my sufferings before are very worth it! Ahahahaha~!” Tang Li Xue yelled happily in excitement.
“And it is not over yet~! There is one more powerful ability that I can obtain~! Uwehehehe…” Tang Li Xue murmured as she smiled from ear to ear.
Tang Li Xue took out five Golden Cores from her space pouch.
Yes, these five Golden Cores were obtained after Instructor Mei Lan killed those high-ranking assassins with Teacher Bai Wuchen before!
Tang Li Xue begged Instructor Mei Lan to give these five Golden Cores to her since Tang Li Xue really need these five Golden Cores to complete the Chain Side Quest (II) from her system and obtain the 2nd power from Regalia of Eclipse!
