[Shadow Flash (1st Order Action Skill) Level 1: The previous skill can turn the user into an unstoppable shadow, capable of charging in a straight line at an unstoppable speed, and after evolution, the user can be completely free within 50 meters. Each activation costs 30 mana and has a cooldown of 60 seconds. 】

After Bai Ze saw the description and details of the skill, his first reaction was to be stunned, and then his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

It's amazing!

As he read the same message over and over again, a look of incredible excitement gradually appeared on his face.

Whether it's range, mobility, practicality; Everything about skills is taken to a whole new level! Even with a cooldown of 60 seconds, it's hard to use it multiple times in battle, but the power of the Shadow Flash skill is undoubtedly comparable to that of a second-tier skill!

As for the consumption of 30 mana, Bai Ze completely ignored such a request. With his current mana reserves, it would take more than ten skills to consume all of his mana, which was almost impossible, after all, using a single Shadow Flash would almost end the battle. Even if it's used to escape, it's a good choice.

Linglong was surprised to see the excited look on Bai Ze's face, and even in the dark, she could see the joy that could not be concealed in his sparkling eyes.

You know, even if Bai Ze evolved the Blood Imperial Technique to the second order, he was not as excited as he is now!

However, what Linglong didn't know was that Bai Ze's excitement did not only come from the evolution and strength of the skill "Wild Charge...... A large part of the excitement he felt came from the correctness of his intuition!

As a first-order existence, Bai Ze, like other humans, can only learn five active skills; This means that he has to be very careful when choosing the active skill reels to learn. After all, once you learn a scroll, a skill immediately occupies a skill slot, making it impossible to use more powerful skills in the future.

If this skill evolves into a useless skill, then Bai Ze will probably leave a lifetime of regrets. Maybe you will die because of this, because a basically useless skill is no different from dragging your feet.

For example, if the Wild Charge skill evolves to something like a 100-meter dash forward, Bai Ze will definitely cry bitterly, because that means that this skill will only increase the distance of the dash each time it evolves.

It turned out that his worries were unwarranted, and he was right!

"How good is the skill that excites you to this extent?" Linglong finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart and asked.

Bai Ze looked at her with a smile, and stretched out his palm upward, "Don't you know by looking at it yourself?" ”

The red eyes looked at his hand for a moment, then smiled slightly, stretched out a relatively petite jade hand and shook it.

Feeling the touch of the delicate palm, Bai Ze could also feel the temperature on his hand through the leather gloves. Although he has done this many times since they met, he still has a hard time fully controlling himself. Linglong is a succubus after all...... Her charm is just too high!

Bai Ze shook his head, shook off his superfluous thoughts, and focused his attention on the record of his new evolution skill, and soon Linglong saw the details of the new skill.

Linglong looked at it again, a flash of shock flashed in her ruby eyes, and she muttered in disbelief: "This...... Shadow flashes ......? How is this possible? ”

"Oh? Is there a problem? Bai Ze frowned slightly.

Linglong was still a little dazed, and it wasn't until Bai Ze gently squeezed her hand that Linglong finally focused and looked at his face.

Even though the forest was pitch black, and the moonlight could not penetrate the dense canopy of towering trees, Bai Ze could still see the shock written on her pretty face from an arm's length.

Linglong took a deep breath and nodded: "This skill...... Shadows flashed, I've seen them before...... But the strange thing is that the person who used it at that time actually said that his skill was a third order! ”

"What?" Bai Ze's eyes widened and he muttered in shock.

Third order?

Bai Ze looked at his skills again and confirmed that he had not misread the information...... Indeed, no matter how many times you look at it, the information of the skill does not change at all. It is still clearly written that Shadow Flash is a first-order skill.

"I don't know......" Linglong shook her head, she was really puzzled, "what the hell is going on?" ”

Bai Ze smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know, how can I know......"

He didn't even know what the world outside of Hua Guo was like, let alone something as distant and strange as Soul Record. Even if Linglong asked him, it was impossible for him to know something that even this high-level being didn't know!

Both were silent.

After a few minutes, Bai Ze said, "Could it be that person who lied to you?" ”

It was the only plausible explanation he could think of. In Bai Ze's opinion, the same skill has a completely different class, which doesn't sound reasonable.

Moreover, there is a difference of two classes!

The difference between the first and third orders is enormous. The gap between the first-order blood control technique and the second-order blood control technique alone has raised Bai Ze's control over the bloodline to a new height that has never been seen before!

From this you can imagine how big the gap is.

"That's impossible." Linglong shook her head without hesitation. She looked at Bai Ze, her red eyes glowing slightly in the darkness, "Bai Ze, you may not know that the reason why you can resist my charm is because I have always restrained myself...... But do you think everyone can resist it? ”

Bai Ze's eyes widened slightly, and he said in a low voice: "That person ......"

"That's right, the guy I'm talking about is also a man." Linglong nodded and said coldly: "That man was fascinated by me, he couldn't lie to me about anything, and he would never have the idea of lying in his heart." ”

It was not surprising that a man would fall in love with Linglong. Her beauty alone was enough for both kings and gods to want her.

After a moment of silence, Bai Ze asked, "Have you checked that person's soul record?" ”

“…… You still underestimate my charm. Forget it, one day you'll understand. Linglong shook her head and chuckled. Her face turned slightly cold, and she said indifferently: "As for your question." To view a person's soul record, you need that person's approval, direct contact. Do you think I'll allow anyone to touch me casually? If anyone dares to try it, I will definitely let him go straight to the ashes. ”

Listening to the coldness in her voice, Bai Ze's heart trembled suddenly. This kind of indifference to the point of being in the bones is rare in a person. Even Shangguan Bingxue had never seen such a terrible chill.

This shows that Linglong really values herself...... But at the same time, it also gave birth to huge questions in Bai Ze's heart.

Since she would never let any other being touch her, why would she be willing to make physical contact with him......? Does she want to build a relationship of trust because she will need his help in the future? But that doesn't seem quite reasonable. After all, Linglong was wearing extremely revealing clothes and lying in the same bed as him, and he was beaten by him, but he didn't even have the slightest murderous intent towards him.

Bai Ze had a lot of doubts in his heart, but somehow, he knew that even if he said it, he would not get an answer.

"I can't think of any other reason." Bai Ze shook his head and sighed tiredly, "The only possibility I can think of is that this person lied to you. But from what you say, it doesn't seem like that's the case. ”

Linglong was silent, staring at the top of the giant tree, her gaze seeming to be able to look beyond the top of the tree and into the mist-shrouded sky. After a while, she said with some hesitation: "There are two possibilities...... But to be honest, I'm not sure, it's very likely that I'm wrong. ”

Bai Ze didn't say a word and waited patiently.

"The first possibility is that the person should have gained the skill directly from the scroll." Linglong explained quietly, continuing to look into the distance, "Although I haven't heard of anything like it, it's possible that weaker unranked skills can evolve into skills that are usually only found at higher levels. Do you understand what I mean? “

"That would mean wasting Action skill slots."

Linglong nodded. "Although I haven't heard anything like it, I think maybe, just maybe, when a being evolves a weak skill, it is possible for a weak skill to become a powerful skill...... Powerful enough that even low-tier skills can be compared to higher-tier skills, which means a higher evolutionary path. ”

"If that's the case, it's a bit of a surprise." Bai Ze shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Who would learn a useless skill and go through the stupid thing of a long evolutionary journey? Probably no one. Even a madman wouldn't be stupid enough to do such a thing.

Therefore, in case Linglong's theory is true, she has never heard of such a situation, and it is completely understandable.

Considering that Bai Ze not only had to kill 20,000 enemies, but also consumed 6 first-order soul stones, it would take a lot of resources and time to complete the requirements required for skill evolution.

Killing 10,000 agile enemies and 10,000 enemies with high jumping abilities is not easy at all.

Of course, it might not be difficult to kill such a creature based on the overall difference in strength, but considering that the Soul Record has only just arrived on Earth for more than a month, it is definitely not an easy task to find so many specific types of enemies.

As for the six first-order soul stones, it is naturally more difficult to collect, even if you have the ability to easily take down the first-order existence, you may not be able to obtain the soul stones. What's more, it is also a question whether such an existence can be found in the first place.

Although all of the above is only related to the stage of evolution of the world, this does not mean that Linglong's reasoning can be explained.

After all, when the world enters a higher stage of evolution and the creatures in it become more powerful, the skill scrolls dropped by defeating enemies will naturally be of a higher level; At the very least, first-order skill scrolls are no longer rare.

In that case, who would bother to learn an ungraded skill and then consume so many resources to evolve it? Presumably no one would do that.

With all this in mind, Linglong's idea, while it sounds a bit fanciful, isn't particularly crazy...... Bai Ze could imagine such a thing.

"Even so, it's crazy." Bai Ze sighed and smiled reluctantly: "To learn an inferior active skill, not only does it consume valuable skill slots, but it also consumes a lot of resources to evolve it...... But more importantly, nothing really guarantees that the evolution of that skill is good. If this skill ends up evolving into garbage, isn't that suicide? ”

Linglong nodded.

Bai Ze sighed again and asked curiously, "What about the second possibility?" ”

Linglong narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice, "That is, you are a special case." ”

"Huh?" Bai Ze was speechless.

Is this an insult or a compliment?

Linglong ignored him and said seriously: "Either something in your heart has picked it, or it is ...... Your Bloodbending Spell has a hidden effect. ”

Bai Ze frowned, puzzled: "What does the skill of blood control have to do with it?" ”

"As you know, we can use skills, thanks to runes carved into our souls." Linglong calmly explained, "Do you know how the body and soul of living things work? ”

Bai Ze raised his hands and said bitterly: "Before the soul record came to this world, human beings couldn't even determine if there was a soul in the body...... How can one know how these mysterious things work? ”

Linglong thought for a moment and said calmly: "That...... How do light bulbs and electricity work? ”

Bai Ze didn't know why she asked such a question, but he replied anyway: "The light bulb must be placed on a closed circuit to allow an electric current to pass through and thus produce light energy." ”

"What happens if a bulb receives too much current?"

"The bulb burned or exploded into pieces."

Linglong smiled and nodded, "That's right, the same is true of the human body. ”

"I don't understand." Bai Ze shook his head.

"Take the light bulb as the body and the electricity as the soul." Linglong patiently explained: "If the body cannot contain the power of the soul, then the body will collapse immediately, and eventually the soul will also die, because the soul cannot exist without a container. Do you understand? ”

A hint of understanding flashed in Bai Ze's eyes, and he nodded firmly.

What are you kidding, it is impossible not to understand such a simple thing.

Even so, he still didn't understand it.

"But what does this have to do with the Blood-Resisting Technique?" He asked, puzzled.

Linglong winked at him, narrowed her eyes and said, "Remember, all this is just a theory, and my thoughts on this matter are completely based on limited information. ”

Seeing Bai Ze nodded, she explained: "Maybe your blood control technique, from the moment your soul is engraved with runes, is nourishing your own blood. Blood Resisting nourishes your blood and strengthens your body. Unconsciously, this causes your soul to gradually become stronger, or better adapted to a stronger body. ”

After a pause, Linglong said uncertainly: "So...... Since your soul is silently getting stronger, perhaps the skill runes engraved in it will also become stronger to suit your soul. ”

Bai Ze was silent for a long time, and finally said expressionlessly: "What the hell? ”
