Chapter 184 Skill Pavilion, Skill Combination
[Congratulations! You have gotten an EX rank skill, <Infernal Star-Fall>]
——
[Infernal Star-Fall]
[Affinity: Fire]
[-Class: 1st class]
[-Rank: EX]
[-Cost: 500,000 Primal energy (Additional max 500,000 energy for maximum size but same power)]
[-Effect: Conjures a giant burning star the size of ten meters in diameter big, which can go up to fifty meters in diameter, in the air anywhere within 100 meters around you. You can suspend the star in the air however long you want and then drop it for devastating damage of utter infernal destruction and also creates a burning zone of 100 meters area (500 meters area with max-sized burning star). In the burning zone, all of your fire-attribute attacks will deal 10% more damage]

Seeing the skill description, Arkhen couldn't help but laugh out loud! This skill… This was what an EX rank skill should look like!
"Damn, I want to try this skill out at full power!"
[My lord. When you reach the max class of this skill, you will see the true potential of an EX rank skill. When reaching max class, the EX rank and higher skills will somewhat evolve while retaining their unique points. I don't know how this one will turn out, but it will surely be amazing].
"I see… Hahaha, I can't wait for it. By the way, I can use skill points to class up this skill right?" Arkhen asked.
[Indeed. However, there's a catch. It cost 1 skill point to class up S rank skills. 2 skill points to class up SS rank skills. 3 skill points to class up SSS rank. So…]
"So all my 4 skill points will be consumed to class up this EX skill once?" Arkhen asked with a speechless expression. "How do I gain more skill points?"
[Quests. The skill points will also be rewarded in quests].
"Also, I need to reach max mastery of the skill first before I class up the skill manually through training… But can skill points bypass that mastery requirement to class up the skill?"
[Skill points can indeed bypass that mastery requirement. But only until the 5th class. Once you class up the skill to the 5th class, you will need to reach the Perfect-rank mastery to increase the class of the skill through skill points].
"Alright," Arkhen said with a nod as he got up and changed his broken pants using one reality mote. "Now, it is time to check out the Skill pavilion."
…
Arkhen could easily spot the skill pavilion since it appeared at the center of the Taywit forest.
After arriving there, Arkhen saw a big pavilion that looked archaic and exquisite.
The pavilion was actually an open pavilion as there were no walls but only cool and majestic corner pillars and side pillars.
The 300,000 square meters area around the pavilion was also clean and had beautiful tiles. The whole area also had beautiful trees at the border. All of them were Sakura trees and rows of big bonsai trees, making the entire area look very peaceful and calming.
As Arkhen entered the pavilion, he saw a small table at the center with a floor mattress. There were several ancient tables as well, likely for other people to sit.
However, the most striking thing in the pavilion was several floating white dreamy orbs at the center of the pavilion.
Just as Arkhen put his right foot inside the pavilion, a blue panel appeared in front of him.

"So, is it like I put skills in those skill orbs and combine them?" Arkhen asked as he walked towards the floating dreamy white orbs after looking at the panel.
[Indeed. For now, you can put three Perfect-rank mastered skills in those orbs and combine the three skills into one].
"Alright," Arkhen said with a grin as he rubbed his hand. "So, how do I put the skills in those orbs?"
[Touch an orb and just think of adding whatever skill you want to add to it. If you have mastered that skill to perfect-rank, then the orb will register it]
"Alright," Arkhen said as he touched the first orb and closed his eyes.
A second later, the content of the orb changed as burning fire fist 3D art appeared inside it.
Next, Arkhen touched the second orb and put the <Dust Devil> skill inside it, causing several tiny 3D sand tornadoes to appear inside the orb.
Finally, Arkhen inserted the <Plasma Cannon> skill inside the orb. It looked like a dark purple energy sphere with red sparks.
[Now, sit down on the mattress and choose a skill out of the several options. They will appear after you close your eyes].
Arkhen nodded as he sat down on the mattress and closed his eyes.
'Oh…this is interesting.'
Arkhen could see several possible combinations of the three skills.

'Can I only choose one?'
[Yes. Only one. Though if you have reality motes, then you can choose another. 15,000 reality motes for a single additional SSS rank skill from this list].
"…"
Arkhen wryly smile and shook his head. He didn't want to spend reality motes on that.
"So... What should I choose?" Arkhen muttered as he looked at the options.
