Chapter 721: Supreme Level Awakening
Su Xiao's heartbeat began to accelerate. Normally, awakening a talent wasn't an easy task as it was, but right now, this awakening attempt had a 29% chance of his death.
But if he chose the first or second path, then Su Xiao's entire strength would be changed and he would end up dying in the not-too-distant future.
*Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom...*
Every pounding of his heart echoed loudly in his ears. With every passing second, his heart was beating faster and faster, and it seemed like it was about to burst.
A moment later, he fell to the ground. An incredible pain suddenly appeared all over his body. This pain was different from the pain that came from receiving a wound. This pain came straight from his cells.
Faced with this kind of pain, Su Xiao, a man who had already been on the edge of life and death so many times with all the consequences that came with it, almost fainted.
Unfortunately, his hidden willpower attribute was quite high, so he didn't faint, but started to suffer from the pain.
— Su Xiao shouted and suddenly opened his eyes.
He was lying on the bed.
The sheets under Su Xiao were soaked with sweat, and everything in his field of vision was blurred due to the intense pain. Some new power was awakening in his body, but this process placed a huge burden on his body.
Su Xiao fell from the bed to the floor, and Bubtni, Mato Sakura, and Mato Kariya immediately entered his room.
Seeing Su Xiao's condition, Bubtney anxiously circled around him, while Mato Sakura retreated to a corner.
Mato Kariya, who was covered in black smoke, looked at Su Xiao.
*Ar-r-r!*
It roared angrily, but when Bubtni heard Mato Kariya's roar, his fur immediately ruffled.
Bubtney stepped in front of Su Xiao. It bared its fangs, and its sharp claws sank into the floor beneath its paws. As soon as Matou Kariya made the slightest move, Bubtni would immediately pounce on him and fight him to the death.
Su Xiao, enduring the intense pain, raised his hand and pointed with trembling fingers at Matou Kariya.
— Now.
*Z-z-z-z~*
«Electricity" hit Mato Kariya's body. He fell to the floor with a crash and started twitching, and Bubtni immediately rushed forward and bit Mato Kariya's neck and started dragging him out of the room.
Mato Sakura, who was standing in the corner, timidly looked at Su Xiao, took out a cocktail bottle and put a straw in it.
— Here... Here, have a drink.
Su Xiao wasn't in the mood for a cocktail right now, to put it mildly. He seriously doubted that if the pain in his body didn't go away anytime soon, then even if he could survive, his body clearly wouldn't be able to survive something like this without negative consequences.
After a minute, the situation didn't improve. The pain radiating from the depths of his cells rolled in wave after wave.
Su Xiao's eyes were already bloodshot. Just when he realized that his body was about to break down, a warm current suddenly appeared in his body. The intense pain, wherever this warm current passed, began to subside immediately.
It was a light red energy, not a blue one.
This energy didn't appear out of thin air, but was created with an ability that Su Xiao had ignored for a long time.
[The Phantom Constitution.
Skill Effect 1: Ghost Constitution is the constitution of the heirs of the Shadow of Law. The mana previously stored in the brain is dispersed throughout the body and fused with every part of it, because the Shadow of Law's mana is extremely pure and can be perfectly integrated with the creature's body, making this skill unique to the inheritors of the Shadow of Law.
Skill 2 Effect: After pure mana is fused with the inheritor's body, the inheritor's body will acquire a magic resonance. Mana and health form a single cycle, and therefore the health of the heir will be significantly increased.
The increase is 30% of the maximum amount of mana..
Note: The inheritor has a maximum mana of 2.233 points, which is why his health has been increased by 670 points. The data will change depending on further changes..]
The ghost constitution was perfect for a talent that constantly increased its mana pool. When a talent increased its mana pool, Su Xiao's health pool also increased, and health was closely related to a person's life force.
The two abilities unintentionally formed a symbiotic relationship, so when his talent started to awaken, the passive ability of the ghost constitution displayed its special effect and allowed Su Xiao's body to stabilize.
The intense pain in his body began to fade, and with it, the feeling that he could die at any moment disappeared.
Ten minutes later, Su Xiao sat up, sweating profusely. With trembling hands, he took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath.
[The talent awakening was successful, and the Hunter can check the relevant information at any time.]
— It turns out that killing has such benefits, " Su Xiao muttered and blew out a puff of smoke.
There was a smile on his face.
— Get him over here.
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Bubtney walked into the room with Mato Kariya in his mouth.
Matou Kariya's body continued to twitch as if he was in unimaginable pain.
This guy started going crazy at the most inopportune moment. Su Xiao hesitated for a moment, but eventually removed the Qing Gang Yin energy from Matou Kariya's body. It was still useful. If he did something bad, he certainly wouldn't be able to stay alive.
As soon as Su Xiao removed the Qing Gang Yin energy from his body, Bubtney released him. Matou Kariya stopped moving as soon as his body hit the floor, but Bubtny sniffed at him and nodded at Su Xiao, which meant that this guy wasn't dead yet.
Su Xiao leaned against the bed, opened the skill list, and took a look at his talent.
[Soul Eater.
Type: Kill Talent (One Awakening).
Level: S (The highest level for a single wake-up).
Talent Effect (Passive): After killing a creature, the owner of the talent will permanently increase their mana limit by a value from 1 to 30 units and restore the same amount of mana and health (for example, if the owner of this talent increases their mana pool by 30 units, they will also restore 30 units of their mana and health).
Reminder: In each derived world, you can get up to 200 Mana points. If the limit is reached, this talent will still count the amount of stolen mana when successfully killing an enemy and restore 50% more mana and health from the calculated value (this effect will only start working after the talent owner reaches the limit in increasing their mana pool).
The total amount of mana received depends on the strength of the opponent.]
Seeing the description of the talent after it woke up, Su Xiao's already trembling hands trembled even more.
For this mission, he gave up a lot, sneaked into the Ryuudo Temple and tore it down. After that, he took a risk, seeing a 29% chance of death, and awakened his talent.
And it was all worth it. After awakening, his talent became much stronger. More importantly, Su Xiao's dilemma about running out of mana when being ambushed was resolved.
What was the loner most afraid of? A powerful enemy? A dangerous place full of traps? Neither one nor the other.
When Su Xiao snuck into the Ryuudo Temple, he was able to fight the main boss of that temple, Hughes, but in the face of hundreds of resentful creatures, he could only run as far as he could.
The weakness of almost all singles was the fear of crowds.
If Su Xiao were to be pelted with corpses, his mana would eventually run out and he wouldn't be able to use either Qing Gang Yin's energy or his shields, which would reduce his combat effectiveness by at least a third 40%.
Getting ambushed and getting out quickly was common, but if the ambush turned into a direct clash with the army of a huge faction, then no matter how strong he was, he would end up dying from exhaustion.
But now this problem has been solved. If any force decided to starve him out now, Su Xiao wouldn't simply die due to mana or health depletion. The only thing that can bring him down is banal fatigue.
Otherwise, with each new kill, Su Xiao's health and mana will be restored. If someone tried to take him with meat now, he wouldn't need to worry about injuries or lack of mana at all.
