"Ding!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in everyone's heads.

"The official mission is opened, this mission is divided into three rings, the first part of the mission: find another team of trialists and go with them to the nearest human city."

"Task Requirements ......"

Merlin's expression suddenly became excited when he heard this voice.

'Here we are! ’

The reason why he is waiting here is not only because he wants to farm monsters, but also because he knows the direction of the future, and understands that another group of people will come to him and others.

In the previous life, they were running around, which caused the two sides to contact too late, so that when they finally really came into contact, more than half of their people were killed or injured.

Merlin looked into his mind for the next moment, and sure enough, he found a familiar personal interface and a small map there, and found a group of small green dots moving towards him and others.

Then keep waiting here. ’

He nodded, and didn't want to move over to join them, after all, the total distance was only about a thousand meters, and even if there were trees to block it, it would only take a few dozen minutes at most.

Thinking about it, he condensed a wind blade in his hand and began to cut the body of the shadow thunder leopard, he was ready to devour this shadow thunder dual-attribute magic core, which was the only way to obtain multiple attributes before the early physical body evolved.

While Merlin was doing his own thing, the others were in a state of panic or excitement.

"There are other trialists?"

"Could it be our classmates?"

"Be careful, I think in post-apocalyptic novels, the most dangerous thing is not all kinds of monsters, but the same kind! If they have bad intentions, we'll gather against them! ”

At this time, one of the people suddenly said, "Look at that little map in your mind! They look like they're coming towards us! What to do? ”

"So fast? They wouldn't have been premeditated, would they? ”

As soon as the voice came out, the others fell silent.

In other words, when they first learned that there was a group of people like themselves, although they would have wanted to go and see it, they would never have made a decision so easily.

And the other party began to move towards himself and others as soon as the task was issued, isn't the other party afraid that they have different intentions?

Therefore, in this case, it seems reasonable to say that those people had premeditated.

"Don't be afraid...... We still have Merlin! They can't help us! ”

In the midst of this silence, someone suddenly shouted.

"That's right!"

"We still have Merlin! Merlin is a stranger! Even the monsters are no match for him! ”

They all set their eyes on Merlin, who was still carefully searching for the Shadow Thunder Demon Core, and the original resentment and jealousy in their eyes disappeared without a trace, or they were hidden, and turned into a mood of hope.

After all, under the threat of another team of Tryers, they didn't have the heart to fight against it, after all, they were just a bunch of students who didn't have any opinions, and even with the guidance of their teachers, they didn't have the confidence to fight in this strange and dangerous place.

And Merlin showed terrifying strength just now, although he threatened them before, exposing them to the eyes of the beast and was in danger of dying at any time, but in this situation, seeing this powerful and calm Merlin, everyone couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of security.

Merlin didn't bother to pay attention to these immature classmates, in the previous life, it was these guys who put forward the opinion, saying that the other tester must not be at ease, and deliberately avoided the other party, until he was killed by the demon beast and lost his armor, he didn't think of going to the other party to seek refuge.

He had completely chopped up the body of the Shadow Thunder Leopard at this time, but he still hadn't found the existence of the Shadow Thunder Demon Core, he couldn't help frowning, and set his eyes on the leopard's head that fell on the other side.

'Is it inside the skull?' ’

With that in mind, Merlin stood up and walked to the huge skull, which was no longer bleeding, and then raised his foot, and a gust of wind condensed into sharp blades under his feet.

This is his awakened Tier 1 Wind ability, which controls the air around him, turning it into a flow of air that can flow at will or an extremely condensed Wind Blade.

This method of use is also at the upper middle level in most abilities, especially with Merlin's powerful skills and experience, this ability can exert more than ten times more power than in his previous life.

As Merlin fell, he saw that all the flesh and bones around the leopard's head had been cut open, leaving only the middle part.

This is naturally because Merlin is afraid of damaging the demon core, and directly cuts off the surrounding bones, leaving the cavity of the middle brain.

"Bang!"

Without the support of the surrounding bones, the upper half of the remaining two skulls fell to the ground weakly, and then, Merlin controlled the not sharp air flow through the air, and slowly scraped the blood-white brain tissue.

'Found it! ’

Merlin's eyes lit up, and in the next moment, a breeze lifted a round sphere mixed with blue and black and placed it on his flat palm.

The size of the demon core was significantly smaller than that of the first-level or second-level demon core, about the size of a marble, but Merlin could clearly feel that the energy concentrated in it was several times that of the second-level demon core.

If such a magic core is sold to the system, it will give him fifty exchange points, and this is exactly the number of points he gets for killing the Shadow Thunder Leopard.

Now, he has a balance of one hundred and fifty exchange points, and he is only half of the three hundred penalties left.

However, Merlin naturally wouldn't be so stupid to sell this magic core.

Unlike in some novels, in the Proving Ground, the best way to gain strength is not to buy it from the system, but to get it yourself.

The system exchange points have many functions, it can not only improve a person's strength, but also buy a lot of things that do not exist in this scene, it can be said that as long as there are enough exchange points, an ordinary person can be strengthened into a god in an instant!

It's just that, perhaps because of the rules of the trial ground itself, I don't want the trialists to rely on the system to become stronger, so some recycling prices are ridiculously low.

A first-level magic core can make people evolve into supernatural beings, and if you are lucky, the strength increase you get can be called earth-shattering.

But the ten exchange points sold can only increase a person's physical strength by one percent at most, and there is basically no change.

And the gap between the third level is even more outrageous, whether Merlin absorbs this magic core or devours its ability to transform itself, he can get a lot of strength increase.

And the fifty exchange points sold can only increase his physical strength by half at most.

Therefore, except for novices, selling the resources they have obtained to the system is regarded as the most idiotic behavior.

The best way to get exchange points is to kill monsters and do quests to get them, and most of the other methods are more than worth the loss.

Of course, if your strength is no longer advanced, it is also a good choice to sell the resources you have obtained and use exchange points to increase your physical strength without limit.

However, Merlin would definitely not do this now.

'Devour it, convert your abilities into Shadow Thunder, or absorb it, and take my wind ability to level three?' ’

Merlin began to think about which of the two options was the most suitable, every three levels of the ability is a watershed, the speed of the first three levels of advancement is very fast, if he devours this level three magic core, he has a high probability of being able to improve to the strength of the level three ability.

The Devouring Core conversion ability is determined by one's own strength and the level of the Core, and if you devour the same level of the Core as you, your level will be reduced by one level.

If you devour a demon core that is one level lower than yourself, then your strength will be two levels lower, but this demotion is not unlimited, for example, no matter how good a first-level ability is, it is impossible for a first-level person to become a negative level, and their conversion is non-costly.

Similarly, if an Ability crosses the threshold of Level 4, then his transition will only be reduced to the beginning of Level 4, which is why every Level 3 is a watershed.

And if you devour a core that is higher than your own, you can keep your level unchanged by one level, and only convert the ability attributes, and the higher level will increase your level slightly.

However, if a second-level ability devours a fourth-level demon core, it will have very serious consequences, ranging from serious injury and downgrading, to death!

Every time it exceeds the third level, whether it is a human or a demonic beast, its strength will be greatly improved, and the gap between the third-level ability and the fourth-level ability is much larger than that of the first to the third.

After thinking about it for a while, in the end, Merlin was still ready to transfer according to the original plan.

Shadow and Thunder are both leaders in the speed and lethality type abilities, with these two abilities, he basically has no one below level 4 who can't be killed, maybe after reaching level 3, he can also rely on his own experience to jump to kill level 4 abilities.

Thinking of this, Merlin used the breeze to blow away the blood and brain tissue that flowed from the blue and black demon core, and swallowed it with a single tilt.

The entrance of the demon core, soaked in saliva, instantly turned into a fluid-like texture, Merlin did not hesitate, and swallowed it directly.

"Hiss~"

He let out a slight movement of cold air.

Transitions are different from awakening, awakening abilities basically don't feel anything, and you will have abilities before you know it, but transitions are forcibly stripping you of the alien energy in your body and stuffing a completely different one into your body.

The sensation is no less than pulling a person's bones out of the body alive and stuffing a new one into it, and the pain is intense enough to make a person faint.

However, this kind of pain is only worth taking a breath for Merlin, and after more than ten seconds, Merlin's face is relaxed, but his whole body is like taking a bath, and the pain is covered in cold sweat.

He raised his hand, and as soon as his mind moved, he saw a wisp of black appear.

Then, he stretched out his other hand, and the blue electric light floated in the palm of his hand.

The next moment, a smile appeared on the corner of Merlin's mouth, and he withdrew the shadow thunder energy on his two palms.

Now that he has the abilities of both systems, he knows how to use them.

Shadows are shadows that can manipulate themselves and those within close proximity, making them active and driven by themselves. It can also make the shadow merge with himself, strengthening his physical fitness in all aspects, which can be said to be a way to use it that is not inferior to the previous wind ability, although the plasticity of energy is not as strong, but the effect is great.

The thunder system is more ordinary, and the way to use it is only a single release attack type, he can turn it into a thunderbolt and condense it in the palm of his hand, or he can condense it out of thin air within a meter of himself, and then split it into the distance.

This way of using is the most ordinary one, without any special effects, in terms of energy consumption, flexibility, control, etc., it is very simple and rough, only the power is considerable, and there is no function to increase its own speed as Merlin expected.

Retracting his abilities, Merlin looked at the minimap in his mind and saw that the little green dots were already very close to them.

"Merlin! I...... I seem to have awakened my superpowers! ”

At this moment, Wang Feng, who was unresponsive or perhaps disturbed by the previous incident of the Shadow Thunder Leopard, realized that there was suddenly an additional way to use the ability in her mind, and she ran towards Merlin with a shout.

"It's not a superpower, it's an ability...... But it's pretty much the same. ”

Mo Lin smiled gently at Wang Feng, with a hint of remembrance in his eyes.

Guys from the previous life, can we meet again?

……

It only took about ten minutes, and Chen Shi took his team to Merlin's side immediately, so that the two teams had contact.

During this period, he didn't do anything too big, once some powerful demonic beasts approached within a kilometer of them, they would be scared away by a terrifying aura, and only one low-strength first-level demonic beast was specially put in by him to train these people, and was finally killed by him in a few moves.

"Killing these monsters will get exchange points, and at the same time, they have a magic core in their body, and devouring them can get abilities!"

Chen Shi took out a transparent magic core from the body of the demonic beast and explained to everyone.
