476: Chapter 357: Holy Spirit Essence 476: Chapter 357: Holy Spirit Essence [Heroic Leap]
Passive
Gives you immunity to fall damage from high places and allows you to gain a power boost with the distance of the fall, increasing the damage of your next attack.
Effect: Immune to fall damage, boosts next attack (depends on fall distance, no upper limit).
Damage increase duration: 3 seconds
ââA hero should descend from the heavens.
After reading the description of this skill, Zhang Xiaoman could only think of one thing to say: holy shit.
He remembered the skill Faith Leap, which could immunize him from fall damage within a 60-meter range, but that was all it did.
This time, after upgrading twice to become a Purple Skill, Heroic Leap was on a completely different level than the previous skill.
The new ability to increase damage was beyond his expectations.
Does this mean that in the future when he encounters any major boss, he would just fly high into the sky and then jump down from tens of thousands of meters up?
But that wouldnât be quite right either, not to mention whether he would run out of oxygen at such a height.
Even ignoring that, aiming from such a distance was a problem.
If he miscalculated the landing by even a few kilometers, wouldnât that be extremely embarrassing?
However, if he could control the height appropriately, then it might be feasible.
âSo, it seems I could develop a kind of palm technique that descends from the skyâŠâ
Zhang Xiaoman concluded.
He would need to find an opportunity to test the exact effects of this skill since the attribute panel didnât give the numbers for the damage increase.
He would have to figure it out on his own.
After checking two skills, it was time to look at the last one in the skills list, âFlying Sky State.â
The original level of this skill was not high, just green, but now it had been upgraded twice to blue, which was a slight enhancement.
[Assault Stance]
Enter Assault Stance, which adds Dark Energy Damage based on your physical attack power when using a Cold Weapon, and allows you to recover a certain amount of Physical Strength based on the damage dealt.
Physical Recovery: 5%
Additional Damage: (10)â20%
Duration: (10)â20 minutes
Cooling time: (20)â30 minutes
Dark Energy Consumption: (10)â30 points
ââSustain the fight with battle!
Zhang Xiaoman hardly used this skill before, as 10% additional damage did seem a bit low.
Besides, although he sometimes fought monsters with his fists, he rarely used a sword to slash.
This was actually related to his personal habits.
He could use the Mountain and River Sword, but he didnât know swordsmanship, so hacking away with it as if it were a machete seemed to devalue it.
This time, however, the skill had indeed improved a lot after upgrading.
Not only was the additional damage higher, but it also had the effect of recovering Physical Strength.
Although it was only 5%, it was better than nothing at all.
Looking over at the Purple Cloud Divine Sword not far away, he stretched out his hand to beckon it, and the sword immediately flew over.
This sword had been forgotten here since he brought it last time, and now it just so happens to be perfect for testing the effects of his skills, saving him the trouble of going out to look for one.
As he initiated the Assault Stance, the Purple Cloud Divine Sword in Zhang Xiaomanâs hand started to float, an added effect from the skill and not a privilege of being the Master of the Original Realm.
However, just like before, this floating mode looked cool, but was rather useless.
The power of the floating was so light that it couldnât enable him to fly with the sword like the Sword Control Technique described in novels, not even allowing him to perform a floating attack.
With a thought, Zhang Xiaoman turned the Purple Cloud Divine Sword sideways, pointing the tip at a large rock not far away, then released a Dark Energy Shock.
The Divine Sword immediately shot out.
âHiss~â
Accompanied by a familiar sound, the Divine Sword had already penetrated the stone.
He summoned the Divine Sword back and then used his ability as the Master of the Original Realm to bring the rock over, examining the traces of Dark Energy erosion on it to gain an approximate understanding of the effect.
âLooks pretty good, 20% additional Dark Energy damage isnât too little.
Seems like it could become a main skill to use in the future.â
Zhang Xiaoman summarized the few skills he had enhanced this time and then left the Original Realm Space, activating Unlimited Teleportation to return home.
He had come here to retrieve another item heâd just upgradedâHoly Spirit Essence.
This item was an upgrade from Unicorn Blood, which he had not used before, so he left it in his villa.
Items upgraded from Holy Water, like this one, all have the effect of restraining Demon Monsters, but the downside is that theyâre too scarce.
Whether itâs the most common Holy Water, the upgraded Divine Grace, or the subsequent Unicorn Blood, the volume hasnât changed at all, all of them being 30 milliliters.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaoman felt at a loss when using them to fight monsters.
So when he encounters ordinary Demon Monsters, he tries not to use them if possible, killing monsters manually with no cost and earning the most points.
But he also knew that this situation probably wouldnât last long.
Currently, he was only facing low-level Demon Species.
If he later faced a Second Rank or third-tier one, it would definitely be more strenuous to handle, at which point he would be forced to use the Holy Water.
Now, with the upgrade of Unicorn Blood, he had also unlocked the purchase rights for corresponding items in the marketplace.
If he encountered a Second Rank or higher Demon Monster in the future, he wouldnât worry about lacking countermeasures, but it still felt like a bit of a waste.
The Unicorn Blood, originally a silver-white liquid, had turned into a bottle of strange yellow points after the upgrade.
They looked like Star Dust, without substance, floating inside like the fireflies on a summer night.
[Holy Spirit Essence]
ââThe core essence of the Light Holy Spirit, it possesses the power to dispel all evil in the world.
The Holy Spirit Essence is also a Purple Level item, marking an upgrade from the Unicorn Blood.
However, such items, unlike skills, do not have detailed descriptions, so Zhang Xiaoman canât figure out exactly what changed.
Still, he could preliminarily confirm that its power should have been enhanced.
After examining the transparent bottle in his hand, Zhang Xiaomanâs gaze suddenly sharpened, his mouth moved subconsciously, wanting to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat and didnât come out.
Because at that moment, he had just realized something very serious.
This bottle of Holy Spirit Essence had turned from a liquid to intangible points of light like Star Dust after the upgrade!
Which meant, it seemed he could no longer make water bullets out of this thing!
