Bab 648: Zhu Zhuyun's Fourth Martial Soul Evolution [Second Update]_1
Lin Yi nodded and gestured for her to continue speaking.
"If my skill requires being up close for activation, that is, a short-ranged attack, does that mean I also have to charge up beside the target?"
"Logically speaking, that's correct, but if charging increases the range of your attack, you might not necessarily have to charge up close."
However, some skills can only deliver normal damage when released up close. If the distance is too great, even if the damage increases due to charging, it will be reduced because of the range, negating the boost...
Zhu Zhuyun immediately felt that this skill was somewhat underwhelming.
The excitement she had just felt had diminished significantly.
"How about this, for the second attack, let me try a charged attack."
She said this to both Lin Yi and Dai Ben.
Dai Ben, "How long will you charge up?"
Zhu Zhuyun looked at Lin Yi tentatively and hesitated, "One minute? That shouldn't be excessive, right?"
Lin Yi, "Sure."
He flicked the reward orb toward Zhu Zhuyun's direction.
After merging with the reward, Zhu Zhuyun indeed walked towards Lin Yi and stood in front of him.
Without a long-range skill, she had to get up close, and after charging, her action was to release the skill, with no chance to adjust the distance. Hence, the place to charge up had to be chosen near the attack target.
The more she thought about it, the more Zhu Zhuyun felt that this reward was pointless, she shouted in her heart.
Lin Yi wouldn't interrupt her charging, but in a battleground or on an arena, others seeing her charge up would simply slap her away! Let you charge up? Die!
Zhu Zhuyun released her Martial Soul and Soul Ring, assuming the preparatory stance for Evil Demon Slash.
She felt a slight surprise inside.
Normally, the skill would disappear at this point due to the pause in hand movements, and the Soul Ring would also fade away. However, at this moment, the left and right claws that she was about to swing still flashed with intense, pitch-black light, and the Soul Rings above her body were also frozen in mid-air, as if time had stood still.
A faint golden light covered Zhu Zhuyun, including her left and right hands that were about to strike; this appearance was characteristic of the charging process.
Lin Yi spoke at this point, "There's one thing I forgot to mention, you are in a Tyrant Body state while charging. This golden light symbolizes the Tyrant Body, but it's not an absolute disregard for damage. It can only just barely block some attacks that aren't very strong in damage."
Hearing Lin Yi say this, Zhu Zhuyun felt a little better.
Right, a Tyrant Body during the charging process is normal.
Even though it was a negligible Tyrant Body.
A hundred seconds passed quickly, and Zhu Zhuyun timed it right; Evil Demon Slash finally released from her hands.
"Swoosh! Swoosh!"
The air let out a pained screech, and space seemed to have been ripped open by several pitch-black fissures as an expanding energy dispersed all around the moment Zhu Zhuyun's attack landed.
Dai Ben remained stunned for several seconds before he realized he needed to follow up with his attack.
After transforming with the White Tiger Demon God Change, he did not use his fifth Soul Skill again but reverted to the Fourth Soul Skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower, because Zhu Zhuyun's damage bonus had increased by fifty percent.
After the blazing white meteor shower came down, Dai Ben, maintaining the White Tiger Demon God Transformation, immediately released a White Tiger Demon-slaying Kill to shatter the incoming Damage Rebound.
Lin Yi looked at the panel.
[Loss of Blood: 367543]
[Remaining Health: 899,859,116,473]
[Damage Grade: Red (Intermediate)]
[Random Reward: Evolution Spirit Stone]
[Host Reward: Evolutionary Immortal Stone]
Evolution Spirit Stone!
The appearance of this reward… Lin Yi almost subconsciously associated it with the results it would bring.
Dark Demon Evil Tiger!
From the initial stage of the Hell Spiritual Cat, to the second stage, the Dark Demon Tiger, and now to the third stage, the Dark Demon Evil Tiger...
Was she finally about to welcome her fourth stage, Dark Demon Evil Tiger?
Lin Yi believed this was the reward Zhu Yun had been waiting for a long time, and even more exciting to her than if she were simply given a damage increase.
"Damage 367,543, Red Intermediate. The reward you've received is an Evolution Spirit Stone."
Just as Lin Yi had spoken, Zhu Yun's body instantly stiffened in place.
And Dai Ben immediately turned his gaze towards her.
"Really?!"
Zhu Yun stepped forward, asking excitedly, if there weren't other people present, she felt she might have cried out of excitement.
This really was the reward she had long anticipated.
And Miss Ning, who had also long anticipated such an evolutionary reward, had never even received a basic Evolution Crystal.
"Really, but don't get too excited yet, I can't guarantee the direction of the evolution."
"It doesn't matter, we have to try it out, right?"
Zhu Yun's eyes were red with excitement.
At this moment, Dai Ben's feelings were extremely complex. If Zhu Yun's Martial Soul finally evolved into the Dark Demon Evil Tiger, it meant her status in Xingluo was almost set in stone.
She would possess the strongest existing beast Martial Soul, even more formidable than the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Martial Soul.
Despite being from the same side, both from Xingluo, and even the once potential daughter-in-law, Dai Ben did not wish for Zhu Yun to soar so high, so quickly.
Lin Yi flicked the reward towards Zhu Yun, and the red orb of light directly transformed into a pure white glowing Spirit Stone in mid-air.
"Crush it to use it."
Lin Yi said.
Looking at the Evolution Spirit Stone floating in the air, Dai Ben really had the urge to rush over and snatch it away, but he dared not do so.
No choice but to wait and see what would happen next.
Zhu Yun nodded, reached out to grab the Spirit Stone, and pinched it between her fingers, crushing it. The Spirit Stone was as fragile as foam, instantly turning into countless dense sparkling points of light, which floated down onto Zhu Yun's body and merged into her skin.
Miss Ning watched this scene with envy, feeling extremely upset inside.
She truly felt unlucky.
Not only did Qian Renxue obtain her Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul, but she also evolved it into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda with an Evolution Crystal.
Yet she, the original owner of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, remained just that—a Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
It wasn't fair! Why was she so unlucky!
After merging with the Spirit Stone powder, Zhu Yun closed her eyes, sat cross-legged on the platform, her body flickering with silver light one moment, red the next, but mostly shrouded in a deep black color like ink.
There had been many cases of Martial Soul mutations or evolutions at the scene, but Zhu Yun's current display was the most dramatic of them all.
There was no helping it; this was already her fourth evolution.
This evolution process was also exceptionally slow, as if various complex chemical reactions were taking place on Zhu Yun's body, at times emitting heat, at other times cold. Her facial expressions showed pain, and various colors of light emerged all over her body.
The waiting was excruciating.
