A cat-eared girl ran up to Lin Jiu, bowed to him, and revealed... nothing to reveal, which was quite absurd.
"Hello, Contract Holder. I'm Worker 0143, Little Meow. Is this your first time visiting the Skill Upgrade Hall, Contract Holder? I'm the receptionist here and will introduce you to the relevant matters for free," Little Meow said to Lin Jiu in a crisp voice.
Lin Jiu was silent for a moment before saying, "Aren't there big-breasted bunny girls?"
"Ah... Big Sister Bunny is also a receptionist. Are you dissatisfied with me, sir..."
Little Meow suddenly became flustered, her eyes watering.
"It's nothing. I was just asking."
Lin Jiu traded 10 Paradise Coins to the cat-eared girl, telling her to buy some candy.
This made Little Meow smile and enthusiastically introduce Lin Jiu to the various facilities in the Skill Upgrade Hall. There were two main areas here: one for active skill upgrades and another for passive skill upgrades.
Lin Jiu came to the passive skill upgrade area, as [Focus Energy] had already been transformed into a primarily passive skill by him. The active ability of the Extreme State was an additional ability produced when exceeding Lv.5.
[Upgrading (Focus Energy Lv.7) passive skill requires payment of 2000 Paradise Coins. Pay Yes/No.]
Seeing this expensive upgrade price, Lin Jiu was pleasantly surprised rather than shocked. This indicated that the skill, which was originally only green quality, had now reached blue quality.
Lin Jiu then spent 6000 Paradise Coins.
[Focus Energy (Passive Skill) has been upgraded to Lv.10!]
[Focus Energy (Passive Skill) has been upgraded to max level. After upgrading to the max level, you can receive an additional reward. Please choose one of the following options:]
[Greatly increased sensitivity to energy changes.]
[Increase the effect of breath principle-related skills by 10%.]
[Reduce stamina consumption in Extreme State.]
[Grasp the flow of energy to increase attack speed.]
Lin Jiu already had Soul Sense, so the first option for energy sensing wasn't necessary, and he didn't plan to use Soul Breathing again. He chose the second enhancement, which could be applied to other areas.
The [Focus Energy] skill reaching Lv.10 brought significant benefits to Lin Jiu. He planned to consult Nemoce later about whether this skill had further potential to be explored.
[Focus Energy Lv.Max]
Effect: Normal (Passive), 50% increase in dynamic vision, easier to spot enemy weaknesses, 40% increase in vital point targeting.
Extreme (Active), 20% increase in reaction speed on top of normal state, 10% increase in vital point targeting.
After completing these tasks, which took Lin Jiu about three hours, he didn't do anything else but went to the Trial Ground.
First, he summoned Nemoce to consult about the development of [Focus Energy]i. However, he didn't get any useful information, so he would need to explore it himself from now on.
For the next twenty hours, Lin Jiu practiced his various attributes and skills in combat mode. He planned to wait until 23 hours later when the Reincarnation Disk awakening was complete and the Class panel was perfected before focusing on specific enhancements.
Unlike the previous training of killing techniques, this time the combat mode featured endless steel robots with combat capabilities. This massive amount of fighting allowed Lin Jiu to quickly familiarize himself with his various enhanced abilities.
With half an hour left, Lin Jiu returned to his exclusive room, sitting on the edge of the bed waiting.
Half an hour later, Lin Jiu felt a burning sensation from the ф mark on the back of his hand. The metal Reincarnation Disk appeared in mid-air, and then the entire array disk cracked open, turning into a cluster of small metal pieces floating in the air.
The small metal pieces were reassembled, and the Reincarnation Disk completely changed its appearance. Originally just an ordinary copper disk shape, now it truly looked like an array disk. A transparent magic array also appeared above the Reincarnation Disk, then merged into it.
"Gulp!"
Lin Jiu swallowed, feeling a sense of hunger. It didn't come from his stomach but from his soul. As the Reincarnation Disk approached, this hunger grew stronger.
Lin Jiu endured the hunger, pondering the reason and countermeasures. He couldn't figure out the reason, as he barely understood the Reincarnation Disk and the awakening Class, but he did think of a solution.
He took out a crystal-clear crystal from his storage space, which was a Soul Crystal (Small). When the Soul Crystal appeared, Lin Jiu vaguely sensed a fragrance from it, and a feeling of desire rose in his heart.
"How should I use it? Just bite it like Su Xiao?"
As Lin Jiu was pondering, that sense of hunger receded, and the Soul Crystal (Small) in his hand began to shrink, then disappeared.
The Reincarnation Disk also fell into Lin Jiu's hand, and immediately a sense of soul connection appeared. A stream of energy was transmitted from the Reincarnation Disk into Lin Jiu's body, circulating a few times to familiarize him with this energy control before dissipating.
"Is this the awakening process? Much gentler than the Shadow of the Law... what's up..."
Before Lin Jiu could finish speaking, the intense pain from when he awakened his talent appeared, and Lin Jiu collapsed on the bed, clutching his head. In his unconscious state, a strange dynamic image kept replaying in his mind.
About an hour later...
Lin Jiu slowly opened his eyes, feeling he could now easily manipulate the soul energy within his body, which was worlds apart from forcibly mobilizing it through breathing techniques.
Afterward, Lin Jiu was more concerned about his Class template. Opening his personal information to look, Lin Jiu's pupils immediately dilated.
[Due to Hunter obtaining the Class [Reincarnator], the skill list has changed accordingly.]
[Reincarnator (First Generation)]
[Skill One: Soul Power: Lv.1 (Active)]
Skill Effect:
Soul Slash: Consume 1-20 points of soul energy per minute for melee attacks, dealing 1.5 times the consumed soul energy as soul damage to the target.
Body Break: When using Soul Slash, can consume an equal amount of mana to deal 0.5 times the consumed mana as true damage to the target.
[Skill Two: Soul Sense: LV.Max]
Soul Sense (Passive)
Effect 1: Slightly capture thoughts by sensing dispersed soul power.
Effect 2: Clear consciousness, +10% reaction speed, greatly increased perception.
[Skill Three: Reincarnation: Lv.Max (Requires Reincarnator class equipment Reincarnation Disk to use)]
Effect 1: Soul Split. Can split off a part of one's soul! Currently available soul splits: 1/1.
(Note: After using soul split, the soul will be weakened for 24 hours)
Effect 2: Rebirth. Will revive on an avatar after death.
(Note: After revival, lose external class, and randomly lose one class skill other than [Reincarnation] and [Soul Power].)
=========
"Does the Reincarnation Paradise have no objection to this Class name?"
Lin Jiu's first reaction upon seeing the Class was a large light orb floating in his mind. However, this was unrelated to the light orb. Then he carefully inquired with the Reincarnation Paradise if there were any taboos he had violated.
Fortunately, there were no problems in this regard. Lin Jiu then seriously examined the Class skills.
Only when the Soul Power skill is fully awakened can mana be utilized, meaning Lin Jiu's attacks can deal soul damage plus a portion of true damage. Unfortunately, it can't apply buffs or debuffs to the opponent, such as burning mana and the like...
Ahem... if it had that effect too, that would be a bit ridiculous. The second Soul Sense skill can only be upgraded with golden skill points, so there's no room for improvement in the short term.
As for the third skill, Lin Jiu knew from the name that this was the core skill of the [Reincarnator] Class. Soul Split is easy to understand, splitting off a part of the soul. This Rebirth requires an avatar as a precondition.
This is a sequential relationship. First, use the split soul to create an avatar. After the main body dies, you can be reborn on the avatar, at the cost of randomly losing one Class skill!
Except for [Reincarnation] and [Soul Power], the only thing Lin Jiu could lose was [Soul Sense].
This skill just adds a resurrection guarantee for oneself. Looking at it this way, it's not as strong for Lin Jiu as [Focus Energy].
The first two skills are already very strong, so naturally Lin Jiu didn't think this was all there was to the core Class skill! There was also a prompt that it needed to be used with the Class equipment Reincarnation Disk, so Lin Jiu immediately checked the information on the Reincarnation Disk.
[Reincarnation Disk (Heaven Disk)]
Origin: Reincarnator
Quality: Special
Category: Special (Heaven/Human Disk Activated)
Durability: None
Equipment Binding: Reincarnator
Equipment Effect (Heaven Disk): Reincarnation. Part of the Reincarnator's soul reincarnates through the Heaven Disk as an avatar. The avatar will randomly acquire one of the original body's abilities as its talent.
Note: This avatar, except for having the same memories as the original body, has severed all other karmic connections and is newly born.
Description: Know that birth and death are related to nirvana, meaningless reincarnation and non-reincarnation. With this cause and effect, all are illusory, and after hundreds of thousands of kalpas, one is always in the cycle of birth and death.
Price: Non-tradeable, non-droppable.
==========
"I see!"
After reading the information on the Reincarnation Disk, the dynamic process Lin Jiu saw in his mind while unconscious reappeared, which was the reincarnation principle of the Reincarnation Disk.
The split soul enters the Reincarnation Disk, where everything related to Lin Jiu's original body in terms of karmic connections and abilities will be left in the Reincarnation Disk, with only one randomly retained ability as a talent.
After reincarnating as an avatar, it's equivalent to a complete individual, and no one can detect the relationship between the avatar and the original body. When Lin Jiu's original body dies, all the abilities belonging to his soul in the Reincarnation Disk will be transferred to the avatar, completing the resurrection.
Note that it's the abilities in the Reincarnation Disk, as for karmic connections, even the contractor Red has died, what does his karma have to do with me, Lin Jiu!
