Chapter 50 Comprehensive Improvement
The reason why Xu Mo wanted to study so hard so late at night was not because he was naturally diligent, but because he had a sense of crisis. The gap between the first-order transfer and the second-order transfer is a chasm, don't look at Xu Mo once defeated the Black Widow and scared off the Yansha Society during the space meeting. But Xu Mo knew in his heart that it was not a real strength, and there was still a gap between him and the second-order transfer.
The Predator's title of planetary hunter made Xu Mo barely level the skill priority between him and the second-order transfer, and after the battle with the Black Widow, he has almost doubled his basic attributes, plus the enhancement of the burning will, the offensive and defensive attributes have basically reached the level of the second-order transfer.
In terms of bloodline power, the original Hell Black Flame was not not strong, but the requirements of this bloodline for soul power made him very helpless. After all, it would be good for Xu Mo to have an income of more than a dozen soul gems in each mission world, and with the use of other aspects, it was destined that the Hell Black Flame could only be used as a deterrent weapon, and could not be used normally.
After obtaining the Titan Black Flame, Xu Mo fully embodied the power of the flame bloodline. Now he can use Titan Black Flame with every move, which is equivalent to turning a nuclear bomb into a conventional missile, which can be used without scruples. Moreover, the A+ level of Titan Black Flame greatly strengthens the successful judgment of low-level attack skills, allowing him to make up for the gap with second-order transfers in skill level judgment.
However, all of this can only allow Xu Mo to reach the level of an ordinary second-order transferor, if it is a second-order peak powerhouse like Xue Pis, he is still not an opponent, after all, a second-order powerhouse like Xue Pisi has experienced several times more missions than him, and this kind of accumulation is not something that can be caught up in a while.
Xu Mo's sense of crisis actually came from Serna's intelligence, and he never forgot that Serna had told him that there was a young man in the Black Widow team who was no less powerful than Shepis . Hearing this information, Xu Mo didn't know why, and immediately remembered the non-mainstream youth with a decadent expression during the Space Council.
If Serna's judgment was not wrong, then his current strength would definitely be suppressed by this reincarnation. Of course, Xu Mo could also inflict a heavy blow on him through the plot force, but if he didn't do it personally, it would be difficult for this second-order transferor to be killed.
And Xu Mo was unwilling to let the team members be overshadowed by him again, so he wanted to forcibly improve his combat strength at any cost, and he must leave this reincarnation in Azeroth.
The Stalker books that Crassus brought to Xu Mo were carefully selected, but they didn't treat him perfunctory. These books are all from Dalaran's large library, and there are more than a dozen books in total, and the authors of these books are all stalker masters who have left their names in history.
These books provide a synthesis of all aspects of the Azeroth Stalker profession, which was not originally a combat class, but originated in the Rogue industry. In Azeroth's long history, the top leaders of many races have discovered that these illegals who steal chickens and dogs in the city are actually the ideal scouts, and they have begun to cultivate these thieves in a targeted manner.
As the thieves gradually contributed more and more to their races in the war, they also washed away the stains on their backs. People began to affectionately refer to these thieves as Stalkers, officially creating the Stalker combat profession.
There are many types of stalkers, but they can be divided into three in general. One is the Phantom Stalker, who mainly steals reconnaissance and steals battlefield intelligence; One is a War Dance Stalker who is responsible for killing the opponent's scouts and can skillfully use a variety of light melee weapons; The other is the assassination stalker who uses poison and various assassination weapons, and is mainly responsible for assassinating the enemy's high-ranking generals.
The reason why Xu Mo is considered by everyone to be a Phantom Stalker is precisely because he became invisible for the second time in the battle with the dwarven leader Kogan under the condition of being blocked by the earth's fighting energy, which is the unique stealth skill of the Phantom Stalker (at that time, Xu Mo actually used the smoke step skill, and the stealth was invisible, but he also made himself half dead).
This kind of concealment technique of secondary stealth under the blockade of Dou Qi requires the stalker to have very demanding physical conditions. The body is as light as a swallow and the bones are as soft as the face, which is this kind of stalker, and other stalkers are difficult to learn this stealth technique because of their different physical requirements.
Of course, the Phantom Stalker also has a hard time mastering some of the skills of the Wardance Stalker and the Assassin Stalker. However, the book is only a general situation, and some gifted Stalkers can master more than two types of Stalker class skills.
Among the books that Crassus provided to Xu Mo, there were very few books about the Stalker's class skills. It's not that Crassus did this on purpose, but that the Stalker masters are generally reluctant to write their unique skills into books, and it is difficult for words to express the combat skills of the Stalker, and only words and deeds can make the Stalker apprentice truly grasp the essence of the skill.
Only five of these books have textual descriptions and illustrations of class skills, and they are not systematic explanations, but only illustrated examples of certain Stalker skills. Most of the illustrations in the five books were relatively similar, and after comparing these books, Xu Mo only got some of the Stalker's professional skills from them.
After some careful thinking, Xu Mo decided to use all the superstring law fusion stones and blank skill scrolls he had obtained in the legendary plot. Xu Mo used two superstring fusion stones in two books, one detailing the Stalker's concealment skills, and the other introducing a combat step of the War Dance Stalker.
The former is called stealth, which is a basic skill of the profession that all stalkers must learn, and the latter is called the Shadow Dance, which belongs to the special combat skills of the War Dance Stalker. Both of these techniques are very complex, taking up most of the space in both books, and are two of the most detailed descriptions of Stalker's class skills of the five books.
After Xu Mo fused these two books with the Superstring Law Stone, he read them roughly and obtained these two skills. However, it is a sealed state, and it cannot be cast at all. The information that he remembered when he checked the soul seal was that he had to return to the superstring space and skillfully perform it in the cultivation field in order to fuse the skill book and truly lift the seal of these two skills.
In the other two blank skill scrolls, Xu Mo rubbed two combat skills that were not too complicated. One of these two abilities belongs to the Dark Stalker, known as Chisel, and the other belongs to the Phantom Stalker, known as the Cloak of Shadows.
Chisel: Dagger skill (B-level). Uses the dagger skill's high-speed tremor to inflict bleeding on enemy targets. Damage is 20 points per second for 5 seconds, and the effect of this skill can be stacked with other bleeding effects, and the impact of attack and defense decisions on both sides will be enhanced and weakened. This skill is a purely physical skill, does not consume MP (energy), and has a cooldown of 5 minutes.
Skill Effect: If the Chisel Strike skill attacks the vital point of the enemy target, it may cause functional damage to the enemy target, and will be accompanied by negative effects such as paralysis, stun, stun, and slowdown. The effect of this skill is affected by the determination of the basic attributes and ability levels of both parties, and may extend and shorten the duration of the negative effect.
Cloak of Shadows: Action Skill (Grade A). The whole body bursts with skill energy, forming a layer of shadow energy refraction shield around the body, temporarily immune to all magic attack skills and physical control skills below A-level. The skill lasts for 15 seconds. This skill is a dual physical and mental skill, which consumes 80MP (energy) and has a cooldown of 30 minutes.
Although he consumed two blank skill scrolls, Xu Mo was very satisfied with the two skills he obtained. Chisel is his first true dagger skill, rather than equipping it with its own skill, enriching his attack tools. After this skill has been practiced a lot and becomes his fusion skill, the priority will be increased again.
The Cloak of Shadows is a powerful status skill, and Xu Mo has three similar skills of this kind, Smoke, Void Flash, and the innate ability Burning Will.
Smoke is a pure life-saving skill that is free from damage and control, but the consumption of 100 energy and 100 stamina, combined with continuous damage in the sun, makes this skill a double-edged sword. When it is not a matter of life and death, Xu Mo will not use it, so as not to be used by the enemy in reverse and become his own fatal injury, which is also the main reason why the smoke skill is only B-level.
The damage reduction and immunity of the virtual flash skill is limited a lot, but it is actually a teleportation skill with both dodge and pursuit functions, and it cannot be described as a life-saving skill alone, with a small negative effect and multi-use, making it a whole level higher than the smoke skill.
The Cloak of Shadows, like Void Flash, is an A-rank ability, and it is immune to magical attacks and physical control, but not to mind control and physical attacks. Xu Mo believed that if they were all immune, it was estimated that the shadow cloak would be an S-level skill, not just an A-level skill.
Compared to the Smoke and Void Flash skills, the Shadow Cloak is actually not a life-saving skill, it is a very stealthy attack skill. Void has no cooldown, and can be used continuously on Escape as long as you have energy. But unlike the Cloak of Shadows, it has a 30-minute cooldown and abilities that only last 15 seconds.
If 15 seconds is used to escape, it will be difficult to escape from the enemy unless the environment is extremely favorable. But it's different when used for attack, 15 seconds is enough for an agile reincarnation like Xu Mo to play a whole set of damage skills.
If Xu Mo unfolds the talent Burning Will again, he is equivalent to being in an invincible state (Burning Will is immune to mind control below A+ level, increases ailment resistance by 150%, and increases basic defense by 50%).
After learning the Chisel and Shadow Cloak directly, Xu Mo thought about opening the information screen again and consuming all the superstring skill stones. Raised the basic ranged combat to the 7th level, and the basic footsteps became the first level of the intermediate footsteps, and learned the virtual flash skill by the way (the viscount privilege can directly improve the attributes and abilities in the mission world).
These operations cost Xu Mo more than 50,000 credits, and the other 12 free attributes, he allocated 3 points each in physical strength and strength, and the remaining 6 points in agility. After he finished improving his basic attributes, a gratifying hint came from the soul seal.
