Chapter 425: Skill Fusion, Lightning Undead Wings
When activating the intermediate skill scrolls, the commotion was much less than with the low-level skill scrolls. Half of the White God Courtyard was shrouded in a hazy glow.
Lin Moyu had experience using skill scrolls before, so he immediately activated ten scrolls.
Tens of thousands of stars swirled around him, accompanied by gusts of wind and the unique aura of skill scrolls.
The materials used to create intermediate skill scrolls were far more precious than those for basic scrolls. The aura emanating from them was also much stronger.
This aura could easily captivate and intoxicate people.
As the power contained in the skill scrolls entered Lin Moyu's body, he felt something deep inside being stirred. But it seemed a bit lacking in strength, eventually subsiding back into dormancy.
The first batch of ten skill scrolls did not awaken any new skills, but Lin Moyu sensed something different - a feeling he had never experienced before.
Without hesitation, he activated another ten skill scrolls.
The hazy glow lit up again, and tens of thousands of stars exploded from the skill scrolls, swirling around Lin Moyu endlessly.
Lin Moyu sensed something deep within his body being stirred again. The feeling was clearer than before, but still seemed to be missing something.
Before this feeling faded, Lin Moyu immediately activated another ten scrolls.
The power of the scrolls was further enhanced, and this time the feeling became even clearer.
Lin Moyu could now clearly sense the force within his body, stirring and wanting to emerge.
He activated more scrolls again.
After five consecutive activations, Lin Moyu kept calculating and sensing.
He was no longer as clueless as when he was level 30.
It seemed he understood something.
Bai Yiyuan found it a bit strange, "What is Xiaoyu doing?"
Meng Anwen said softly, "Xiaoyu seems to have sensed the source of his skills."
Bai Yiyuan gasped in disbelief, "This... is impossible."
Meng Anwen said softly, "For you, it is indeed impossible. But for Xiaoyu, it's hard to say."
Bai Yiyuan still couldn't believe it. "Sensing the source of skills is something that can only be done at level 80 or above."
Meng Anwen shook his head without saying a word.
At this moment, even he couldn't fully comprehend what was happening.
Although his instincts told him it was impossible, the events unfolding before his eyes were undeniable.
Lin Moyu was unaware of how astonishing his actions were.
Even the well-traveled Meng Anwen was stunned.
After five consecutive activations, totaling 50 skill scrolls, Lin Moyu could clearly sense the stirring force deep within his body.
It was just a step away from fully awakening.
After some calculation, Lin Moyu took out 15 skill scrolls.
"This should be enough!"
With that thought, his spiritual energy burst forth, activating them.
As the power of the skill scrolls entered his body, the stirring force fully awakened, bursting out from within and spreading throughout his body before entering his spiritual world, leaving an imprint on his soul.
Tens of thousands of stars erupted into a pillar of light that pierced the sky, scattering the clouds.
Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan both realized that Lin Moyu had mastered a new skill.
And this new skill seemed extraordinary, unlike the previous one.
Lin Moyu saw a vision.
It was still the same necromancer in a robe.
Still the same pitch-black land covered in a vast undead army.
The great battle seemed to continue endlessly.
With a wave of the necromancer's finger, a flame-wreathed summoned creature appeared beside him.
The instant it appeared, flames erupted into the sky, obscuring its appearance from Lin Moyu's view.
At the moment of its appearance, the enemies on the battlefield were simultaneously engulfed in raging flames, burning to ashes amid agonizing screams - even the dragons fell from the sky, screeching.
The next second, the vision shattered.
[Skill Acquired: Summon Elemental Imp]
[Summon Elemental Imp (Level 1): Summon an elemental imp of a corresponding element using materials of that element. Higher grade materials summon stronger imps. Only one imp of each element can exist at a time. Higher skill levels allow more imps to exist simultaneously.]
With the acquisition of this skill, Lin Moyu discovered a new "Imp Space" among his attributes.
Currently, the Imp Space showed 0/1, indicating his level 1 skill only allowed one imp to exist.
This was a completely new and unfamiliar skill.
However, from the vision he just saw, this skill seemed incredibly powerful.
When Lin Moyu opened his eyes again, he saw Bai Yiyuan's expectant gaze.
"How was it, Xiaoyu?"
Not only his gaze, but his tone was also full of anticipation.
Lin Moyu shook his head, "I still couldn't grasp it. Let me try again."
With that, Lin Moyu activated another batch of skill scrolls.
This was the first time he had used 65 scrolls.
He had prepared a stockpile, and had already used up a quarter of it.
This time, Lin Moyu directly activated 50 scrolls.
Enveloped in tens of thousands of stars, that feeling reappeared.
Perhaps because he had used so many skill scrolls, the feeling was now very clear.
With the experience from the previous two attempts, as soon as the feeling surfaced this time, Lin Moyu grasped it and began searching for its source.
The wondrous feeling still spread rapidly throughout his body as before.
Lin Moyu now understood - this feeling was the skill itself.
The skill was originally hidden deep within, waiting to be awakened once the level requirement was met and the right conditions were triggered.
Now, he needed to find the source of this skill.
With the experience from the previous two attempts, he now understood what he needed to do.
But knowing was one thing, and actually doing it was far more difficult.
To prevent this feeling from disappearing and to successfully awaken the skill, Lin Moyu spared no expense, activating batch after batch of intermediate skill scrolls.
Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan watched in amazement.
Bai Yiyuan said, "Although it's said that the stronger the profession and skills, the harder it is to awaken and master them..."
"But Xiaoyu's consumption of skill scrolls is really too high."
Meng Anwen nodded, "It is a bit high. Even for a mid-tier legendary profession at level 50, at most they would use around 300 skill scrolls."
Bai Yiyuan said, "Earth Knights might use a bit more, but it wouldn't exceed 500 scrolls. But Xiaoyu... Lin Moyu has already used more than 500."
He had already awakened two skills, and awakening the third skill had become extremely difficult.
Skill scrolls were continuously activated in explosions, batch after batch.
In the blink of an eye, the entire stockpile of 1,000 intermediate skill scrolls was nearly depleted.
Lin Moyu had now reached the critical moment.
The feeling of the skill awakening had become very strong, just a step away from completion.
Because this attempt lasted longer, Lin Moyu finally found a clue.
He saw a pitch-black world, with a single point of light flickering within it.
Now, all the feelings of skill awakening he sensed seemed to originate from this point of light.
As he focused on the point of light, it suddenly exploded.
A wondrous feeling spread throughout his body, rushing into his spiritual world and fusing with his soul.
The skill awakened, and at the moment the point of light exploded, Lin Moyu sensed some extraordinary visions.
Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say he sensed them rather than saw them.
He sensed that near this point of light, there were other peculiar points, still dormant and awaiting awakening.
These points varied in size and shape.
They also emanated different auras.
Lin Moyu understood that each point represented a skill.
This was the source of skills.
But as clear as this realization was, he didn't know what use this knowledge served.
After such great effort, was this all he gained?
At this moment, the skill had fully awakened, leaving an imprint on his soul.
[Skill Acquired: Skeletal Prison]
[Skeletal Prison (Level 1): Binds a target or multiple enemies, inflicting a stun effect. Bound enemies cannot move or retaliate, and take 50% reduced damage. Bind duration is 1 second (scales with enemy level and attributes, and with number of enemies bound).]
A control skill...
This was a skeletal control skill.
Lin Moyu was delighted to finally have a control skill.
Even though the bind duration was only 1 second, he had the talent enhancement.
1 second would become 60 seconds for him.
Moreover, as the skill level increased, the duration would surely extend further.
Lin Moyu found his profession becoming more and more perfect.
Even without the talent enhancement, the attack power would weaken significantly, but the perfection would remain.
Even without the talent enhancement, the undead army's combat power would be greatly reduced, but not its numbers.
Among those of the same level, it would still be an unrivaled existence.
The profession's skills encompassed summoning, attacking, cursing, controlling, and immunities all in one.
What other profession could compare?
The undead army not only had self-sustaining abilities but also relied on external support.
It was simply a perfect profession.
When Lin Moyu opened his eyes again, he saw Bai Yiyuan staring at him expectantly.
Bai Yiyuan said softly, "Xiaoyu, it's okay if you can't grasp it. You're still at a low level, there will be more opportunities later."
Meng Anwen nodded, "As long as you find it by level 80, it's fine. Don't rush."
Lin Moyu knew they were trying to console him, but he...
Lin Moyu spoke, "Teacher, I think I found it."
Ah!
Just as Bai Yiyuan was about to continue consoling him, he was stunned by Lin Moyu's words.
