Chapter 524: Chapter 337 Dead Bone: There's Such a Good Place! (4K)_2
While waiting below the stage, she was thinking that she couldn't waste such an opportunity. She wanted to create a skill that could be used in actual combat and would significantly enhance her combat power.
And not just to score high on an assessment.
After a while,
"Ding~!"
The pleasant notification sound rang out.
The armor on Hero 'Xi Liu' began to transform slowly, morphing into armor that seemed forged from lava, with brilliant, dazzling flames flickering over it.
It was armor, it was scales, and it was also a skill.
"Notification: You have fused your accumulated experience to create a special self-made skill 'Sunflame Armor'. Sunflame Armor has the ability to burn and incinerate everything around it. It can also change size along with your body's form (human, Dragon Man, Giant Dragon) and has a self-repair capability. It can be combined with the defense capabilities of a giant dragon's scale armor."
Just from its appearance, Sunflame Armor was clearly a high-level skill.
And among high-level skills, it belonged to a very special and powerful category.
After all, ordinary skills differ in strength, much like the difference between a Rare One-Star and a Rare Three-Star. The gap between high-level skills is even greater, similar to the difference between a Bone Dragon and a Vampire Viscount.
The experienced Guardian Gabu Fool was also somewhat surprised.
He assessed that Xi Liu's skill had a very low similarity, merely 18.6%.
Taeli and others had their mouths slightly open in awe.
"Two years ago, the Sixth Princess of our Natural Garden did not perform as well as this one."
That Sixth Princess was an unbeatable prodigy of their generation.
The old brother from earlier possessed a legendary demeanor, but whether he could step into the Legendary Realm in the future was still uncertain. However, for the Sixth Princess, who had created her own domain early on, stepping into the Legendary Realm seemed to be just a matter of time.
She was an invincible figure at the fourth-order peak.
She slaughtered common Fourth-order Bosses as easily as slaughtering chickens and cattle.
But then again…
Taeli suddenly recalled that this human powerhouse seemed to possess an exceptionally rich Red Dragon Bloodline. She had seen Xi Liu transform into a giant dragon, causing chaos on the battlefield.
Perhaps this was a lady of the dragon, whose bloodline was almost… or possibly already stepped into the Epic stature.
For their Sixth Princess to lose to this person seemed, perhaps, somehow, probably… acceptable.
"Notification: Your hero 'Xi Liu' has passed the trial with an excellent performance and learned the cultivation skill 'Flame Breathing Method' during the Heaven and Earth Baptism."
This cultivation technique was also a form of physical training, and when practiced to a high level, had two characteristics.
One was the amplification of fire-type damage, and the other was the ability to quickly recover one's energy through high-frequency breathing.
The characteristics themselves were not very strong.
But what Mu Yuan valued most was the cultivation technique itself. Higher-level cultivation skills often allowed the user to train with greater efficiency, which was key.
Now, only two people were left who had not yet tried.
'Lu Liu' and Isloa.
But at the same time, Mu Yuan and General Dead Bone were sprinting through the dense forest, rushing toward the Temple of Knowledge at high speed.
He had found Dead Bone two hours ago and called it to start the journey together.
The reason was simple.
The Guardian offered many types of trials, but only the "self-made skill" type of trial was a benefit.
One could not only gain rewards but also have an opportunity to create a self-made skill. Wasn't this double happiness?
Mu Yuan worried that the next group heading to the Temple of Knowledge would not encounter this type of assessment. He had to squeeze in at the tail end of this batch.
Dead Bone had been eagerly practising, wanting to step into the Legendary Realm sooner rather than later.
Apart from training and fighting with the Fang of the Jackal Wolf, Dead Bone didn't want to do anything else until just now.
"The ability to temporarily enhance comprehension and gain Spiritual Light? Is there such a miraculous place in the world?!"
Marvelous!
Marvelous!
It had been worrying about not being able to create a skill that could shorten the time required to polish its body.
While it had some ideas, creating a high-level skill from scratch without any foundation or reference was very time-consuming.
If it spent a lot of time pondering and refining, wouldn't it be counterproductive?
Now, it saw an opportunity.
...
Inside the Temple of Knowledge, 'Lu Liu' walked forward.
Guardian Gabu Fool watched him closely, taking a few extra glances.
"This power known as Tianyuan Territory seems to have more potential than the Natural Garden. Will they continue to impress me?"
'Bone Two' and Xi Liu had performed very well, especially the latter.
But he did not expect the remaining two testers to perform well just because of the excellent performances of the first two.
He was not so superficial.
He purely judged from his own exceptional insight that the human in front of him was extraordinary.
Even if this human had not yet reached the Fourth-order Peak Leader Level.
The other human woman was the same.
However, since the human woman presented herself in an incarnated form, Gabu Fool couldn't discern any more information.
Lu Liu stepped onto the formation platform.
He had already decided on the category of skill he wanted to deduce.
It was Guard.
He was originally from the Imperial Guard Series, and the Imperial Guards have always had the duty of protecting important individuals.
But now, his strength was more than sufficient, yet his guarding abilities were far from enough.
Especially group guarding.
He was a legion commander, and behind him were the hearths and homes of his entire territory.
Guarding was his duty.
Lu Liu sat down directly and closed his eyes.
As time ticked away, until at a certain moment, Lu Liu opened his eyes, and golden wings unfurled in midair, scattering specks of golden brilliance, like a sacred barricade.
'Alert: Hero 'Lu Liu' has created the advanced skill 'Glory Guard'.'
'As long as the glory remains, as long as the will exists, the guard will never vanish.'
This was a wide-range protective skill. Not only did it extend over a broad area, but it could even bring together the guarding skills of the Imperial Guards, melding them into one, forming a protective barrier with a wider coverage and stronger defense.
Similarity: 33.6%.
The performance seems not as good as Xi Liu's. content-hosted-on-MVLeMpYr
Despite the astonishment, Taeli and the other Elves had grown accustomed to it.
But could these silly Elves not see what he, the Omniscient God Gabu Fool, could? Even if this skill was derived from Guard, even if it had some similarities with Guard, but...
But it faintly, vaguely already had a bit... a hint of Strategic Skills!
And Strategic Skills are typically awakened by heroes who have received the Heaven and Earth Baptism.
Yet this human being had managed to create it with human power, human knowledge.
This individual, formidable indeed!
Of course, as the Omniscient God Gabu Fool, a personage well-versed and worldly, he had heard and even seen such prodigies before.
But this time, he personally witnessed the birth of a unique skill.
Given time, this 'Glory Guard' might even have the chance to ascend to a true Strategic Skill.
Do not disappoint me, oh future generations.
'Alert: Hero Lu Liu has learned the cultivation-type skill 'Rock Breathing Method'.'
Next up was Isloa.
In terms of heritage and accumulation, Isloa had much more than Lu Liu, Xi Liu, and others.
Her status was even high enough to reach Epic Three Stars.
Having the same Starlight Body talent, there was a world of difference between those at the Excellence Three-star life level and an Epic Three-star life.
For her to create an advanced skill was naturally not difficult.
However, as there weren't any advanced skills that Isloa particularly desired, she took this opportunity to organize and perfect what she had learned and considered some difficulties encountered in 'Human Transformation Learning' and 'Astrology', drawing upon the Spiritual Light benefits of the Miracle Building.
In the end, she spent a bit of time to forge a 'Concealment-type' skill.
She received an extremely high evaluation.
'Alert: Hero 'Isloa' has learned the cultivation-type skill 'Void Breathing Skill' during Heaven and Earth Baptism.'
With that, the test ended.
Although Isloa was keen to take further advantage of the boost, Gabu Fool did not permit it, stating that those who passed the test could not try again.
This is the purpose of the Guardianship.
To prevent any loopholes, to maintain absolute fairness and justice, to ensure the Miracle Building operates indefinitely.
He was about to put away the testing platform.
Two figures burst in from outside.
"Wait!"
Mu Yuan, stabilizing the somewhat tumultuous energy within him, looked towards the distant platform, his eyes shining.
If only he could dismantle the platform and take it back with him, that would be even better.
Gabu Fool's brow furrowed slightly, for some reason, he felt affronted by the human's gaze, but upon closer inspection, he saw that the human's eyes were only sincere, filled with the anticipation and urgency of facing the test.
This was normal.
Perhaps it was just his own misperception.
Still, it was rare to see others so eager to undertake the Hall's challenge.
These two, they must be prodigies as well. One of them looked a bit like the Undead they had seen earlier, while the other human, with an imposing bearing and transcendent aura, was clearly an extraordinary talent.
Gabu Fool focused his attention on the human.
And Dead Bone already started walking forward.
