Chapter 9: The Gate of Trials
After carefully pulling the dagger out of the bear's back, Tesla strode up to the brown bear and stabbed it in the heart with precision, ending the beast's life.
"The effect of paralysis powder is good, but the quantity is too small, so annoying." Tesla didn't even look at the brown bear, but took out a piece of animal skin, and gently and attentively wiped the blood and stains on the short knife.
It took him a few minutes to finish the maintenance of the short knife that had allowed him to crisscross the mountains and forests, and insert it back into the scabbard at his waist.
The reason why Tesla can become the strongest hunter after Rael is because of ice bombs?
It's impossible.
As an ice method, Tesla is deeply aware that the role of ice bombs in the early stage and even in the late stage is often only used as a means to provide deceleration and control, and if it is used as a means of victory, it lacks enough damage. In other words, the enemy that can be killed directly by ice bullets is already weak to a certain extent.
Therefore, from the beginning of the hunt in the mountains and forests, Tesla has never positioned the means of victory on the ice bomb.
His winning formula came from a special plant he had stumbled upon a few years earlier.
After asking many people who didn't know the name of the plant, Tesla named it Paralysis Grass.
This is a very special plant, it looks like an ordinary dog's tail grass, the only difference is that the color is light red, so Tesla once wondered if this could be a variant of dog's tail grass.
The effect of paralysis grass is single and powerful, it instantly paralyzes creatures that inadvertently consume it, and because it is not lethal, this paralyzing effect is strong and terrifying.
Tesla once tried, as long as the blade of the short knife was slightly coated with a layer of paralyzing grass, after stabbing into the body of a giant wild boar, the wild boar would immediately fall into a state of paralysis and could not move.
Unfortunately, this effect must be effected only if the paralyzing grass or paralysis powder melts into the blood or enters the creature's body.
Thankfully, however, this paralyzing effect is not contagious. That is, paralyzed animals are safe to eat if they are hunted.
Therefore, Tesla's hunting methods, or routines, are generally like this: ice bullets ride in the face, and after controlling the opponent, one knife is paralyzed, and one knife is fatal.
Using this routine, Tesla, who is only 6 years old, can become the strongest hunter after Rael.
However, this routine is likely to become obsolete soon.
Because, after absorbing the soul energy (experience?) that this brown bear has escaped? After that, Tesla finally upgraded!
Host: Tesla
Class: Mage
Physical fitness:1
Spirit Power: 1.5 (+1.5)
Intelligence: 5
Toughness: 3

Remaining stat points: 6
Currently available skill points: 6
"Congratulations to the host who has reached level 6 and can open the next level of skill templates." The prompt information from the system made Tesla instantly energetic.
After waiting for so long, the main attack skill he most craved was about to appear.
In the light curtain, two or three branch options appear under the ice bomb on the skill interface.
They are: Ice Arrow, Ice Storm, and Frost Nova.
Wait, wait, what the hell? What the hell is the Ice Arrow? The mage in Diablo 2, and the skill of Ice Arrow?
A bewildered Tesla hurriedly asked the system.
"When the host's level reaches the corresponding skill level, a set skill corresponding to the level will be generated, as well as a special skill." The system's reply made Tesla even more confused.
"What are established skills and what are special skills? What's the difference? Tesla threw out three questions in one go.
"Established skills refer to skills that must be in the Diablo 2 mage skill system, which can be upgraded and strengthened through skill points; Special skills are skills that are not outside the established skill system generated by the system after collecting the host's casting habits, talents, perks, and memories, and cannot be upgraded through normal skill points, and will only appear every time the host reaches a new skill level. "The amount of information contained in the information from the system was so large that Tesla didn't know what to ask all of a sudden.
After taking a deep breath, Tesla sorted out his chaotic thoughts, summarized all the current information, and then asked the system again: "System, you just said that special skills cannot be upgraded through ordinary skill points?" That is, it can be upgraded through some kind of special skill points? Is that right? Also, are there any other ways to level up special skills? If I choose a special skill, will I be able to learn the Ice Storm skill again the next time I level up? If I choose Ice Storm, will I still have a chance to choose a special skill the next time I level up? ”
"There is not enough information about special skill points to answer; Special skills can be strengthened and upgraded through the host's proficiency in that skill; After the host chooses a special skill, the next upgrade can still choose the skill in the established skill system of Ice Storm, but if the host chooses Ice Storm, the special skill will not appear in the next upgrade. "Except for one question about special skill points, the system basically answers all of Tesla's questions.
Frowning and habitually pinching his chin, Tesla clicked on the skill introduction of the three skills.
Ice Storm: Mana cost 6
Description: Creates a large ice bomb that freezes the target completely, giving it a +8% ice damage bonus for each level of the skill.
Frost Nova: Mana cost 9
Description: Creates a ring made of ice and frost that damages and slows enemies, and each level of the Ice skill grants 3% Ice Damage and Slow Bonus.
Ice Arrow: Mana cost 5
Description: A powerful spell cast from the host's memories that shapes an ice projectile into the shape of an arrow and fires it, dealing intense puncture damage and a powerful slow effect.
After thinking about it for a while, Tesla finally decided to choose Ice Arrow.
It's not just that the mana consumption of the Ice Arrow is less, but more importantly, it's a special skill, Ice Storm, if the power of the Ice Arrow is unsatisfactory, you can choose it next time you upgrade.
After selecting a skill, a message suddenly came from the system.
"If the intensity of the collected scattered soul energy is detected to reach the minimum standard, the door to the trial can be opened, do you choose to open it now?"
"Clams? It's a new thing, a system, and what is the door to trial? ”
"After the host has collected enough soul energy, a trial door to the dark world can be opened, and there will be enemies corresponding to the strength of their soul energy in the door. Defeating the final enemy will give you a large amount of soul energy, as well as a certain chance to get soul arms. ”
"The Dark World? Soul Armament !! ”
