Chapter Ninety-Seven: Skill Upgrades

After the attribute points were digested and left the attribute enhancement hall, Xu Yue did not choose to leave, but turned around and went to the skill upgrade hall next door.

It's all here, and I just happened to learn the 'Piercing Mountains and Breaking Mountains' skill that I had obtained from the Divine Beast Long Yuan before.

The skill upgrade hall was still full of people, and workers with all kinds of makeup seduced walked through, waving their hands to refuse the approach of a bunny girl, and he easily found a free skill upgrade warehouse and got in.

The warehouse door slowly closed, and Xu Yue took out the scroll that belonged to 'Piercing Mountains and Breaking Mountains' from the space, he did not meet the precondition of 'physical strength above 35 points' before, but now he meets the learning requirements after strengthening.

Directly click to learn, the scroll in his hand collapsed into a little bit of earthy yellow light dissipated, and Xu Yue's eyes were dark, and when he woke up again, what caught his eyes was a tall mountain range towering from the sky.

Judging from the volume alone, the majesty of this mountain range was not inferior to the Asuka Gate Fengshan he had seen in the previous world.

Suddenly, the ground below the mountain range bulged, and a giant earth dragon of about 100 meters jumped out of the ground, and the surface of the earth dragon's body was covered with a faint earthy yellow light, and it jumped straight into the tall mountain range on its side.

When the hard earth and stone touched the earth dragon, it seemed to turn into water waves, and the earth dragon easily penetrated, leaving only the huge waves of earth and yellow that were set off, and a huge black hole.

Xu Yue's eyes have been following the earth dragon in the mountain range at will, that light posture, like a dragon playing in the water, the mountain will collapse when touched, even if it occasionally encounters mineral veins, but as long as the earth dragon waves its claws, the wide metal veins in front of him will also turn into powder in an instant.

Eventually, after nearly half an hour of shuttling by the Earth Dragon, the entire mountain range had become full of holes and crumbling, until at a certain moment the Earth Dragon broke through the ground from the top of the mountain and hissed in the sky.

"Aang!!"

With a hissing sound, the tall mountains below it collapsed, the mountains collapsed, and the smoke and dust billowed out.

The picture also stopped at this moment, and then shattered inch by inch, Xu Yue opened his eyes from the skill upgrade warehouse, and a sinuous figure of a strange beast could be seen in his eyes flashing away.

[The Hunter has learned the 'Piercing the Mountain' skill.] 】

The sound of the boost in my ears disappeared, and a virtual screen of the upgrade chamber appeared in front of me.

Please select the skill you want to upgrade. 】

"Through the mountains and through the mountains."

[To improve the passive skill of 'Piercing the Mountain', you need to pay 2000 Paradise Coins, yes/no payment.] 】

Looking at the upgrade price of two thousand paradise coins once on the screen, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then silently looked at the balance of more than 70,000 points he still had, which should be enough to upgrade the mountain and break the mountain to the full level, but it is definitely not enough to upgrade the 'distraction'.

However, there are still a lot of good things in the space that haven't been sold, so it's a big deal to come back next time.

"Ascension."

The words fell, and the Paradise Coin in the balance was deducted two thousand, and the scene of the earth dragon traveling through the earth and wandering the mountains and rivers appeared in front of Xu Yue's eyes again, and after a while, he suddenly woke up.

[Piercing the Mountains (Passive Skill) has been upgraded to Lv.2.] 】

didn't check the skill changes after the upgrade, he directly upgraded the skill warehouse to three levels in a row.

[Mountain Piercing (Passive Skill) has been increased to Lv.3.] 】

[Mountain Piercing (Passive Skill) has been increased to Lv.4.] 】

[Piercing Mountains (Passive Skill) has been increased to Lv.5. 】

After reaching level 5, the skill bin did not sound the prompt for additional rewards as when raising the War Roar before.

Xu Yue was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, the quality of Piercing the Mountain and Breaking Yue is higher, and the additional rewards should not appear until around level 10, so he simply increased 5 times in a row.

[Piercing the Mountains (Passive Skill) has been increased to Lv.6. 】

……………

[Your skill (Piercing the Mountain) has been upgraded to Lv.10, and you can get additional rewards when you upgrade this skill to Lv.10, please choose one of the following options.] 】

1. Increases internal crush damage by an additional 10%.

2. The shattered earth-attribute substance comes with secondary explosion damage.

3. The crushed earth-attribute material will have annihilation characteristics.

……………

Three additional rewards appeared in front of him, and the reward of option 1 was a simple damage increase, which could make Xu Yue's attack on earth-attribute materials stronger, perhaps the matter that needed two attacks to break before could be turned into one attack, which can be described as simple and rude.

Option 2 is to inflict explosive damage on the shattered matter, for example, when attacking an enemy using an earth-based shield, when Xu Yue shatters his shield, the shattered shield fragment will produce a secondary explosion, bringing more terrifying indiscriminate area of effect damage.

Option 3 is to have the shattered matter with the Annihilation trait, which is a completely different property from the above option, where the explosion causes massive damage, while the annihilation is a silent annihilation.

The specific manifestation should be similar to the mountain-piercing dragon he saw in his previous vision, burrowing into the mountain, it is a dark tunnel, and the earth and rocks have turned into imperceptible powder.

Option 1 makes his attacks more pure, option 2 makes his damage more violent, and option 3 makes his damage more subtle.

Of these three items, 1 is decent, but it is purely powerful, and 3 in the later stage of development, it should be able to become a skill similar to retreat, making him more flexible and changeable, and when the time comes, it will be heaven and earth, and everything will be refined.

Both of the above were good, but option 2 was more to his liking, and after a moment of thought, he finally chose the secondary explosion damage.

After the route is selected, he begins to continue prompting.

[Since the Mountain Piercing (Passive Skill) has been increased to Lv.10, the upgrade cost has been increased to 4,000 Paradise Coins.] 】

"Well, to be expected."

Looking at the doubling upgrade price, Xu Yue nodded calmly, but the slightly beating eyebrows still revealed his distress, if he wanted to upgrade a purple quality skill to the full level, he needed to consume 60,000 paradise coins.

Judging from this consumption, the 20,000 Paradise Coins rewarded for the main quest of the park are really a drop in the bucket, and it is no wonder that the gap between the contractors is so large, those who only pursue to complete the task with the lowest goal can harvest very few resources, and it is estimated that they have to hoard several worlds even to upgrade a skill.

Only those who take the initiative to challenge the unknown and dare to fight the strong can live a nourishing life in the park.

Continuing to improve, this time, he moved up 10 levels in a row.

[Piercing the Mountains (Passive Skill) has been increased to Lv.11.] 】

………………

[Your skill (Piercing the Mountain) has been upgraded to the maximum level, and you can get additional rewards when you upgrade this skill to the maximum level, please choose one of the following options.] 】

1. Increases internal smash damage by an additional 50%.

2. The target of this skill is expanded to gold and earth dual attributes.

3. When you are underground, you will get skin breathing, health regeneration, hidden blessings and other characteristics, and walk freely underground.

……………

Three more choices pop up, option 1 is still pure and powerful, and option 3 is the ability to retreat.

And option 2 is the reason why he spent so much money to learn this skill, earth-type equipment is rare, and metal-type equipment can be said to abound.

At least 80% of the contractor's equipment is metal products, especially the main weapons and armor, after choosing this one, he is already within reach of the realm of shattering a piece of equipment with a halberd, and even if he doesn't kill the enemy, he can make the other party feel painful.

After decisively choosing option 2 and spending 60,000 paradise coins, this promotion was over, and he clicked on the skill introduction to see.

Piercing the Mountain: X (Passive Skill) has reached full level

Effect 1: Every time you attack a substance containing any of the attributes of the Golden Earth, 80% of its attack will be converted into internal crush damage that ignores defense, completely disintegrating the substance from the fragile inner core.

Effect 2: The disintegrated material fragments can be manipulated by the mind to produce a secondary explosion, which will cause an indiscriminate scatter attack, and the attack power is determined by the disintegrating material, internal strength, and other aspects.

……………

The skill introduction is quite concise, but the ability is extremely terrifying, with 80% internal crushing damage, which is a completely crushing blow for equipment of the same level.

To put it simply, this is completely the difference between a bomb exploding on the outside and exploding inside the human body, and the power is simply very different.
