章 775: 642, The Magical Tool of Immune Energy Form [First Update]_1
Just like the many buffs Tang Chen had added to his body, Chen Xin now had so many buffs as well.
And his Sword Spirit Gan Jiang, after these enhancements appeared, underwent changes or, rather, evolution, time and again.
In his darkened state, Gan Jiang had enhanced all attributes of the spirit soul along with his master, and even his appearance had undergone dramatic changes.
He no longer had a clear facial outline; he seemed to have turned into a humanoid mass of black smoke, with only his eye sockets glowing like two small, blood-red lanterns, looking somewhat creepy—a terror version of a sword spirit.
Chen Xin, holding the Seven Kills Sword ablaze with black flames, walked towards Lin Yi with instantaneous speed quick as a specter, leaving dozens of afterimages behind. The sharp blade cut through the air and landed on Lin Yi's body, the scorching heat burning everything around, but it didn't penetrate Lin Yi's flesh.
However, Chen Xin felt something; previously, when the Seven Kills Sword chopped at Lin Yi, there would always be an extremely strong rebound force, and the whole Seven Kills Sword would tremble wildly, but this time, he found that all of those sensations had disappeared, or were so faint as to be almost non-existent.
Is it because of increased tenacity?
Chen Xin quickly pondered in his mind, while stepping backward to increase the distance, because a layer of golden light was quickly spreading over Lin Yi's body.
In fact, Chen Xin had long since stopped seeing damage rebound as a vexing problem that required too much effort to solve, given that his speed, including his response time, was much stronger than before, not to mention his strength.
After the attack ended, Lin Yi looked at the panel.
[Health Loss: 436,758]
[Remaining Health: 883,044,207,654]
[Damage Level: Red Mid Level (Downgraded)]
[Random Reward: Umbrella of Concealment]
[Host Reward: Umbrella of Concealment (With Attack Ability)]
It seems to be a reward like a magical item.
Lin Yi opened the description to take a look and then said to Chen Xin:
"Damage 436,758, lower than the personal highest damage, reward downgraded, your reward is an item called the Umbrella of Concealment."
After finishing speaking, Lin Yi tossed the ball of red light toward Chen Xin.
The ball of light transformed into a closed umbrella in Chen Xin's hand, entirely black, adorned with slightly protruding, strange golden runes—unrecognizable script.
"The reward has been downgraded, about twenty thousand less than the first damage... Although it's downgraded, the damage is indeed close; it seems that the increase in attributes really brought a significant enhancement."
Chen Xin mumbled to himself while he deactivated his darkened state and then opened the umbrella above his head.
Just then, to everyone's surprise, Chen Xin disappeared; not only was his figure invisible, but even his aura vanished without a trace. Even those with strong spiritual power like Gu Yuena and Qian Renxue were unable to detect him.
And the next moment, Chen Xin reappeared in everyone's field of vision, seemingly because he had lowered the umbrella.
Chen Xin also looked around curiously. He repeated the action of opening and closing the umbrella, watching everyone's reactions and gradually, he seemed to grasp the function of this umbrella.
Lin Yi: "You've probably figured it out, the Umbrella of Concealment, it turns you completely invisible and conceals your aura when opened. But that's just one of its functions."
Chen Xin immediately stepped forward, excitedly asking, "Are there other functions? What are they?"
Lin Yi: "Absolute defense against energy-based attacks. When facing energy-based attacks, it can filter out all their power, reducing damage to zero. Meanwhile, the filtered energy attack can also be transformed into pure Soul Power, transmitted to your hand through the handle of the umbrella, and then absorbed by your body."
"But physical types of attacks can't be blocked, and the defense is only equivalent to that of a regular umbrella."
Hearing this, Chen Xin couldn't help but touch the material of the umbrella. The material didn't seem to pose any issues; it was indiscernible from an ordinary umbrella, the only special feature being the gold protruding runes on the surface of the umbrella.
Lin Yi, "Want to give it a try?"
Chen Xin thought for a moment, then nodded, "Let's test the energy form; there's no need for the physical one."
Only a fool would test a physical attack—test it once and it's over.
As for attacks in the form of energy, the most persuasive demonstration on the scene belonged to Gu Yuena. Without waiting for Lin Yi to invite her, Gu Yuena voluntarily stepped forward.
"Fine, fine, I'll do it, okay? So boring."
Gu Yuena came out unwillingly, and as she lifted her hand towards Chen Xin, a light began to flicker in her palm. Chen Xin immediately shouted, "Dragon Lady Senior, please wait, I haven't opened the umbrella yet!"
But Gu Yuena didn't listen at all. With electric sparks in her palm, a burst of purple lightning roared and shot directly towards Chen Xin.
Luckily, at the last moment, Chen Xin had fully opened the umbrella and held it in front, and when everyone expected a loud bang, they were surprised to see the energy in the form of lightning directly enter the surface of the umbrella without making a sound, as if it sunk into the ocean. The gold runes on the umbrella flickered, and soon, white light spread inside along the handle and quickly flowed into Chen Xin's body.
It was just like the Sect Master's Soul Power Flash Charge ability!
The white light was the transformed soul power, and the soul power Chen Xin had just consumed in the attack was fully replenished.
Such a powerful umbrella rendered those completely reliant on energy form attacks utterly incapable of achieving their goal. Instead, the more you attack me, the more I peak.
Chen Xin stored the umbrella properly and thanked both Gu Yuena and Lin Yi.
His own attack complete, Emperor Xueye promptly volunteered as the next attacker.
In his tattered and disordered clothes, with a broken bowl in his left hand and a cane in his right, his disheveled and filthy appearance made him look more like a beggar than most of the actual beggars nowadays.
After all, just yesterday, Emperor Xueye had savored the sweetness of a 70% damage increase, satisfied by a mere ninth soul skill.
"Your Majesty, why aren't you coming up on stage yet?"
Gu Rong couldn't help but turn his head and ask.
Emperor Xueye appeared somewhat eager as he stood to the side, shaking the bowl in his hand he said, "Just wait, I'm getting in the zone."
Gu Rong quickly understood what Emperor Xueye meant by "getting in the zone."
"Kind sir, please show some generosity, spare some change."
"Kind sir, have a heart, give me some food to eat."
"I haven't eaten for several days, starving and struggling on the streets."
...
Gu Rong, with an expressionless face, listened as Emperor Xueye recited these beggar's lines to him.
This was a requirement for role-playing, where one must perform five actions fitting the character every day to prove the authenticity of the character setup, in order to receive the damage increase. Otherwise, one would have to wait a full week to regain the bonus.
Actions proving the character setup, in Emperor Xueye's case, involved begging for food, asking for money, lamenting his tragic past... which were precisely the five things Emperor Xueye did yesterday.
