Chapter 951 The special skill selection
As if the requirements and skills that he had chosen until this point were not enough, Max glanced at the reward for the day, the SSS+ clear special skillset.
[ System Notification - You have been rewarded a special skill-set for clearing the promotion test with a SSS+ rating: ]
Please CHOOSE any TWO of the FIVE class specific skills :
[ Cosmic Body ] ( Transcendent ) - Ditch the physical body and become an all energy being that is immune to all physical attacks and is also faster than any traditional physical physique.
[ Recommended by Shakuni The Terrifying as a must have skill ]
[ Wheel Of Fortune ] ( ???? ) - A mega gachapon which has 99.99% probability of the user spinning it dying, however, in one out of every 10,000 spins, the spinning needle ends up falling on death to the opponent, a rare opportunity where all defences put up by the opponent are reduced to zero.
lightsn?v?l [ Recommended by the god of fortune, Fengshui ]
[ Ability Lock ] ( Divine ) - One of the ultimate moves of the god of war Junfred where he seals an ability of his opponent, making them unable to use it for a specified period of time.
[ Suggested strongly by the god of war Junfred ]
[ Stay Rooted ] ( Transcendent ) - This skill helps you grow roots from the bottom of your feet which firmly plants you to a single location.
When in the rooted state, you cannot move, however, your attack, defence and recovery speed becomes 10x, allowing you to handle moves way above your tier.
[ Suggested by the god of Nature, Enel ]
[ The perfect sequence ] ( Transcendent ) - The signature attack of the perfect warrior which is said to be the greatest sword sequence to have ever been perfected.
Choose this attack to perfect a 12 step combo passed down by the perfect warrior himself and cover the only defect in your visage as a warrior.
[ Suggested by the perfect warrior himself ]
—-----------
Max read all the options that he had been provided with and began weighing in the pros and cons of each option.
The one he felt was the most suspicious was undoubtedly the last offer by the perfect warrior as Max personally did not trust that guy much at all.
He had tried to sabotage his progress countless times now which was why Max did not feel too keen on choosing that move, however, on the other hand he also understood that something like the perfect warrior's sword art was literally the only skill that he was lacking.
After his tier8 promotion, Max knew he was going to become too powerful for anyone within the controlled universe to hold a candle to him, however, his competition wasn't within the controlled universe.
If he thoroughly evaluated himself then his only flaw remaining was his sword art which was not on par with other masters and while he could overpower his opponents in the controlled universe using his vastly superior strength and speed he also needed to plan ahead.
Conversely, his brothers offer of shedding his physical body seemed like the best move offered to him on the plate as according to the description, ditching the physical body would not only give him immunity from physical attacks, it would also give him the ability to move much faster than he could should he have a physical body which was a most welcome change.
There was also 'ability lock' for him to consider and while the grade of the skill was only divine and not Transcendent like some of the other moves on the list, Max understood the utility of that move.
Suppose he was getting suppressed by a single move such as [ Dimensional Walk ] and he had no answer to it, then an attack like ability lock could help him neutralise his opponents advantage and get back into the fight.
It was a very practical and precious move to have and Max did wish to choose it.
The only problem was that 'Stay Rooted' was also a great move to choose as although Max would have to sacrifice his movement, if by being rooted to one spot he could increase his attack strength by 10x then it was worth it.
Just thinking about increasing the strength of a tier8 move by 10x sent shivers down Max's body as if a tier8 move could destroy a planet, then it's 10x counterpart could theoretically destroy 10 such planets at once.
Coupled with the correct circumstances and Max could see how this one move could prove to be the gamechanger, which was why he preferred it over the last and final option, the wheel of fortune.
On paper it looked like the dumbest option out of all five and the easiest one to pass on, however, it was also the one with an unknown grade which made Max wonder if it was something even beyond transcendent?
Choosing it was akin to playing a big gamble, as the probability of dying when using the skill was 99.99% while the one time when it did activate, it was going to just negate the opponents defences completely, rather than directly killing them.
Although Max considered himself lucky, he could not be sure on whether or not he should choose this particular skill or not as he fell in a real dilemma when choosing the special skill rewards.
This was the final tier promotion rewards and the last opportunity for Max to perfect his core skillbase as from this selection forward there was only going to be a consolidation and perfection of his fighting style but there could not be any big changes.
He had already secured the best possible foundation for his skills in terms of mind blowing stats, however, to truly express himself as a fighter to his fullest potential, he also needed the subsequent skills to make the most of his superior stats, which was why this skill selection was going to be the most important decision of Max's life.
