The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 86: Level 4 Guaranteed! Kuafu Chasing the Sun Eight Spider Lance (?) Added for the leader AdenJ
The northwest wind whistled and swept away the dead grass, making a humming sound at the corners along the wall.

Bloodstains and corpses could be seen everywhere on the ground, and there was a rumbling sound in the distance. The top of the building that was shot through by the floating cannon had been shaking for a long time, and now it finally couldn't hold on, raising a large amount of dust in the sun, and the huge movement echoed inside the word "器".

This is the remains of the battlefield after a fatal fight.

From time to time, lone refugees passed by. They didn't know that the battle had ended long ago. They just saw this horrifying scene and didn't dare to come over. They turned around and found another place to run.

"One, two, three, four... Damn it, why doesn't Tian Wenjin have an upgraded driver himself?"

Xu Shu was like a big rooster industriously looking for rice. He rummaged around in the open space, not minding the dirt. After all, he was also dirty because he was covered in blood.

He picked up a total of four turban-style upgrade drivers, and four golden lights poured into his underwear.

But one person was missing.

There was no trace of Tian Wenjin's body left. He was possessed by a corpse dog and was killed by a cannon shot from the Narrow-sleeved Guanyin along with two other first-level "criminals".

Now, the upgrade drivers of the other two criminals have been found, but Tian Wenjin's has not been found.

This made Xu Shu suspicious.

He doesn't have a driver?
But Tian Wenjin should not have been taken back and upgraded by the Astronomical Society.

Gu Pan said that the only ones who would be recycled and upgraded would be the real noobs who found it difficult to train to the first level.

These people will be assigned to patrol teams and garrison troops as captains.

Although Tian Wenjin is older and his potential is likely to have been exhausted, he is a genuine second-level transcendent, "Prisoner"!
"Unless, he lost his upgrade drive by himself, and because of his special status, he didn't dare to go back to the city to ask the Astronomy Association to reissue it?"

Maybe Tian Wen was on the Astronomy Society's wanted list, and this idiot might have thought that the lineup would favor the Astronomy Society and hunt him down, so he threw away his "phone"?
Xu Shu thought about it and it seemed that this was the only reason that could explain it.

If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do.

These upgraded drivers from other people, like Lu Bingwei's, were picked up for the sole purpose of handing them over to the Astronomical Society after returning to the city, saying that they could be exchanged for some hard work fees.

"So I will just treat this upgraded drive as yours and return it to you. This way, from now on, only you owe me, and I can't not owe you anything, is that okay?" Xu Shu asked.

Gu Pan rolled his eyes. "It's different. People have already activated it once and obtained the authorization from the array. It can only be recycled as a material."

"It's really troublesome to get an upgraded driver and be a virgin." Xu Shu gave all the headscarves to her, "Then you can keep them. I'm too dirty to put them anywhere else."

He was still covered in blood, but it was mainly because there was a large, narrow-sleeved jade Guanyin Buddha in his arms, taking up space.

"Okay." Gu Pan didn't think much about it.

Not long after, Xu Shu and Gu Pan returned to the front of the shelter.

One thing has been confirmed along the way through Xu Shu's probing.

After Tian Wenjin's death, the quicksand traps that had been dug out were slowly shrinking in scope.

It is expected that within half a day, all the sand pits will be restored to their original state.

In the shelter, the chaotic refugees were stunned when they saw these two extraordinary people coming back "once again".

Who would have thought that Xu Shu and Gu Pan, who were covered in blood, had no blood on their bodies an hour or two ago?
"Everyone, I have eliminated the monsters for you. This shelter is habitable again!
"However, after I cast the spell with all my strength, these quicksand traps will not disappear until at least tomorrow. Everyone, please do not move around randomly, and leave the dead bodies behind for now."

Xu Shu stood in the sun and announced loudly, "It's aboveboard."

"Great Mother Goddess, thank you, Master Transcendent~"

"You are simply the savior! The Mother Goddess will bless you."

These people knelt on the ground, crying and screaming.

"It would be better if the Mother Goddess did not favor me."

Xu Shufu nodded after discussing it, and let Gu Pan deal with the aftermath.

He went to the bathroom and washed off the blood.

"Teacher, do you want to come with me?" Xu Shu suddenly turned around and asked.

"Tsk, no need!" Gu Pan had a cold face and didn't give him a good look this time.

Although everyone's relationship is pretty good now and you don't have to be so reserved, you should still not be too harsh when you speak.

If you think you can flirt with me just because you've seen me naked, you're totally wrong. I'd rather die than give in. Gu Pan held his back straight.

Of course Xu Shu was just joking.

Having died so many times during the expedition, he already knew that this woman only looked weak, but in fact she was naturally proud and courageous.

…………

The next day passed without incident.

It was dark and the moon was about to rise. Xu Shu, now 18 years old, had already washed himself and was sitting naked in the corner of the bathroom.

He looked at the lifelike figurine of "Narrow-sleeved Guanyin" next to him which was still motionless, and recalled that today's battle had gone through many twists and turns but eventually won, and he couldn't help but smile.

He reached out and touched the Taichu Scroll, which unfolded in the illusion:

[The sun sets in the west, all things are extinguished, welcome back to the Taichu Volume, Master]

[Number of times remaining to open today: 0]

[Your current title is "Succubus", you have removed the title "Sit-Ups (Taboo)", the cooldown time is 1 minute and 20 seconds remaining, you cannot wear it again for the time being]

[Tip: Don't throw away unwanted titles. You can use the materials together with the props to make a spell tool, or you can directly integrate it into an existing spell tool to add an entry. The spell tool must be at most one rank lower than the title.]

"..."

"Tsk, this is the first time I've noticed that when you open it in the evening, its welcome message becomes a bit mean."

"Now I think about it, this sentence seems to be designed by me in my previous life. Damn."

Xu Shu rubbed his eyebrows.

In my previous life, in order to reflect the changes in time in word games, I deliberately made a sunrise and sunset as a reminder.

I didn't expect that the cycle of karma would come true and I would end up taking the blame.

It is true that those who planted the trees will suffer the consequences.

He rested for a long time during the day today and is in good spirits.

The most important thing was to try to combine the Nurgle Imp and the Unclean One into a pseudo-purple "Curse Crystal". I tried it once and used the "Doctor" mark to fuse it.

But the result was a big failure.

"If we follow the rule that titles can only be fused with items or spell tools of a lower grade, then the purple flawless spell crystal should be able to contain an epic golden mark."

"Now that it has failed, it can only mean that although this Nurgle-based unclean has produced something that looks purple, it is still fake! It can only be considered of excellent quality."

"Its interior is still a superposition of blue erosion crystals and green spells. It is fake purple, but it has the word fake in it, so it cannot be counted."

"It seems that we need to use the real flawless grade curse crystal!"

"Now that things have come to this, let's eat them first and upgrade."

When the Taichu volume showed that the CD for [Sit-Ups] had ended, Xu Shu calmly changed his forbidden title.

Now he has a white level 10 erosion crystal in his hand, and the "Curse Crystal" of the Nurgle Unclean that is broken into eight pieces, and its level is 16.

"I wonder if it's enough for me to reach level 12? The higher you go, the longer it takes, and the more experience you need."

He divided the curse crystal into several petals and stuffed a part of it into his crotch first. After a while, the feeling of explosion spread throughout his body.

If others saw him using the "Curse Crystal" that exceeded the blue limit to upgrade, they would probably want to kill him.

It’s so damn extravagant!
There is no telling how many extraordinary people in the Alliance would spend all their money just to get a "curse crystal" of superior quality to synthesize a curse seal of the same grade.

But for Xu Shu, he just used it as dog food.

Nothing is more important than upgrading yourself. Strength is the foundation for survival!
Pfft, pfft.

The amount of blood on the surface of his body was increasing. Feeling the erosion of the cursed energy filling his body, Xu Shu took a deep breath, turned on the shower, and let the water cover himself.

"Sit-ups - start."

In the dimly lit bathroom, there was only Xu Shu's shadow rising and falling with blood spurting out, vague and eerie in the silence.

Faintly, the blood in the air was watered by the water, and the dense blood vapor enveloped the entire bathroom.

Next to it was a small and exquisite sculpture of Guanyin, quietly placed there, with her eyes closed, facing Xu Shu, quietly accompanying him.

……

It's around eight o'clock in the evening.

Xu Shu stopped panting, wiped his body and put on his clothes.

All the "dog food" spell crystals were used up. This time, it took almost two and a half hours to digest the spell power erosion.

Among them, the white erosion crystals were eaten up in just over ten minutes.

It took even longer to devour the curse crystal.

However, the time was not wasted.

Xu Shu could already feel that he was becoming more active physically and mentally, with a hard heat in his body, which had obviously upgraded.

Finally reached level 12!

He heard a faint cracking sound in his head, like the sound of an egg cracking.

Immediately, another sudden memory came into my mind.

"Very good! I have learned a new skill... No, it seems like there is more than one skill!"

One of the skills gave Xu Shu a strange feeling.

He felt his body swelling, as if something was about to burst out or burst from his body.

"Is it a claw blade skill similar to Wolverine?"

Xu Shu couldn't help but imagine the scene of himself tearing open Dayun with one hand. He shook his head and tried to exert some force.

Brush brush!
Suddenly, several black rays of light flashed behind him, one after another.

sizzle!
Eight long hairs with an obsidian color and that looked like spider claws tore out from his back.

There are eight of them in total, crisscrossing in an orderly manner, and they look eerie and terrifying, making Xu Shu look like an evil, ghostly spider spirit.

He shuddered and retracted the sharp blades of the spider's claws, leaving a big hole in his clothes on the back.

"..."

I just changed into new clothes~
The corner of Xu Shu's mouth twitched.

Judging from the physical performance, this is obviously the skill of Black Widow's curse.

He carefully felt the ability, a pair of underwear, and opened the upgraded network.

A screen of light particles condensed in front of him.

[Scanning your curse seal...]

[It is detected that you have reached level 12. You will definitely comprehend the breakthrough skill of the first-order curse seal. In-depth testing is in progress...]

Zizizi!
Electric currents came out of the underwear, ran through Xu Shu's body, and finally appeared on the screen.

* Upgraded network
*Gu Pan (Taichu), first-level warrior

*Contributions: 14
[Curse: Hercule (Legend) 12/20]

-

"Sure enough, it only rose one level!"

Xu Shu couldn't say whether he was satisfied or not. Anyway, it was true that the resources consumed by upgrading were increasing, and this problem was also a headache.

However, he did get to know one piece of information. When he saw "he will definitely comprehend the first-level breakthrough skill", Xu Shu understood.

"Breakthrough skills" rely entirely on one's own enlightenment before the curse seal reaches level 12. But once it reaches level 12, a big guarantee will appear like drawing a card, and the breakthrough level will be directly instilled into him!
Thinking about the huge difference in his combat ability before and after he comprehended "Jingwei", Xu Shu completely understood why there was a threshold of 12 levels for the formation.

This gap is indeed too big!
There were several information boxes popping up in the lower left corner. Xu Shu knew without even looking that they contained information about the members of the Baidi clan he had killed.

He is in no hurry to watch this.

He selected [Gu Pan (Taichu)] first and entered the attribute details page.

After the upgrade drive scan, it can help him further understand his abilities.

-

[Curse: Hercule (Legend) 12/20]

[Entry 1: Alien Black Widow (Epic)]

* Talents: Architecture Mastery, Silk Spinning, Eight Spider Lance (Breakthrough Skill)

[Entry 2: Hercules: Heart of Steel (Legend)]

* Talents: Thick Skin, Strong Power, Perseverance, Jingwei (Breakthrough Skill), Kuafu (Breakthrough Skill)

-

"It really is two skills!"

Xu Shu was delighted and understood the detailed descriptions of these two new breakthrough skills.

Moreover, he naturally described it in the tone of the Taichu Volume.

Your [Alien·Black Widow (Epic)] has broken through level 12, and you have mastered the skill - Eight Spider Lance!

A long-range throwing skill that does not require the use of hands. The Eight Spider Lance can be launched directly according to your thoughts.

You can choose whether to use projectile or direct shooting. The effective range of projectile and direct shooting is the same, but the maximum range is only 88 meters, which is a very accurate number.

Within 88 meters, you can summon the Eight Spider Lance back at any time to launch a boomerang-like attack.

When you exceed the distance, the Eight Spider Lance you shoot will dissolve directly and re-condense behind you after a period of time, which will greatly consume your physical strength.

The Eight Spider Lance can be combined with "Silking" to increase the hitting distance of the spider web.

-

"Great, great, long-range attack with a little control!"

Xu Shu clapped his hands and laughed.

There is no need to use hands to throw, it is like he has a launcher installed on his back.

The maximum range is 88 meters, which is not far, but not close either.

For him, this skill can be said to have greatly made up for his shortcomings, and it is worthy of being a level 12 minimum guarantee.

After seeing this first skill, Xu Shu was actually very satisfied.

However, the next skill, a breakthrough skill realized through the legendary "Steel of Heart", was even more eye-opening for him.

Your [Hercules·Heart of Steel (Legend)] has broken through level 12, and you have mastered the unique skill - Kuafu Chasing the Sun!
Features: Kuafu! Thunder and momentum, Kuafu captures the mountain! After you run a certain distance in Kuafu state, you will gain the "Capture the Mountain" effect, which can force the target into a forced floating state. The farther you run, the more you can throw the target far beyond your normal strength limit.

Features: Chasing the Sun! When your blood/body fluids remain on the enemy, your rush speed will be greatly increased!

You have special powers!
You can now chase and shoot targets you're floating in the air!

Day by day, your momentum is endless. With your accumulated strength, you gain the skill: "Golden Spear Chasing the Sun!"

Your Golden Spear Sun Chaser can be attached to any throwing weapon, causing extremely high burning damage!
-

“???” Xu Shu was stunned.

No, what about the steel of the heart?

Why does every breakthrough skill of itss come with such a weird and obscene effect?

It’s okay for Jingwei last time, at least she was protecting herself.

What's the point of this sun-chasing effect? ​​It's to let you attack others, not to let you surpass others!
This is a bit vulgar. Damn it. How can it be called a heart of steel? Just change the name to "a dirty heart"!
Xu Shu was truly speechless.

Really, although Black Widow herself is a bit bad, her skills are more decent than each other.

"However, my level 12 self is indeed much stronger than my level 11 self."

Xu Shu stood up, smiling, and after a few seconds his smile gradually froze.

Wait, these Eight Spider Lance can be shot out and retracted?

And Kuafu chasing the sun can make me run faster?

These two skills combined together give me a strong sense of déjà vu...

"Oh, Ma Chao?"

　I will continue to update after dinner. I have written 1.4 words today. I feel sleepy, but I will try to write the beginning of the next main plot point before the end of tonight.

　　This chapter has more than 4000 words, which is equivalent to two updates. I will pay off the other update I owe to the leader in the evening, and start paying off the rewards before the update is put on the shelves tomorrow.

　　In addition, the support from all the godfathers is so great, Xiaojuan thanks you very much.
