Chapter 79: Give Fat Tiger Some Face
After continuously using Eight-Direction Heaven-Splitting Slash to clear out all the Bloodshadow Violent Bears,
the system notification finally sounded,
a new skill was officially unlocked.
At this point, all the skills of the Lin Family Sword Art had been activated.
"Check skill!"
[Ghost Slash]
Grade: Silver
Belongs to: Lin Family Sword Art
Category: Damage
Description: Charge for 1 second to release the power of ghost spirits.
Effect: Deals 280% damage to targets within an 8-meter straight line.
Before enhancement, it was pretty ordinary.
After all, it was only a Silver-grade skill, with no outstanding advantages.
However, Zhou Han had no intention of enhancing this skill, but instead planned to fuse it into a new one.
Now that he had enough enhancement points,
Zhou Han first enhanced the god-tier technique Fusion Skill ten times.
[Fusion Skill +10]
Grade: God-tier
Belongs to: Primordial Ancient Scroll
Category: Support
Description: Can fuse any number of skills to generate a new skill. (Recommended to fuse skills of the same series)
Effect: The newly generated skill has a 99% chance to increase by 1 grade, a 60% chance to increase by 2 grades, and a 0.1% chance to increase by 3 grades.
After reading the effects, Zhou Han's eyes lit up.
The effect had become even more powerful—there was actually a chance to increase by two or even three grades.
A god-tier technique truly lived up to its name.
With all preparations complete, what was there to wait for?
Zhou Han didn't hesitate and immediately began fusing.
"Fuse Eight-Direction Heaven-Splitting Slash with Ghost Slash!"
[Fusion successful. A new skill has been generated. Please check!]
"Nice! It actually reached Platinum grade."
After checking, Zhou Han was pleasantly surprised.
The chance to increase by two grades was only 60%,
not particularly high, but triggering it now felt great.
As for the 0.1% chance to increase by three grades, Zhou Han didn't even think about it.
After enhancing it six times, all attributes were revealed.
[Evil Radiance Ghost God Slash +6]
Grade: Platinum
Belongs to: Lin Family Sword Art
Category: Damage
Description: Charge for 1 to 5 seconds to release terrifying ghost-god power. (The longer the charge, the higher the damage)
Effect: Deals 10x damage to a single target within a 30-meter radius. Once damage is dealt, the target enters the "Ghost Devour" state, losing 1% of max HP per second for 10 seconds.
"Ghost-god power?"
That instantly raised the skill's prestige.
And the damage was very impressive—not only a 10x damage multiplier,
but also percentage-based HP reduction.
Its offensive capability was guaranteed.
After looking at the remaining skills, Zhou Han decided not to fuse them.
Each skill had its own use,
and at this stage, he didn't have many skills.
If he fused them into something useless, it would be a huge loss and even reduce his combat strength.
Closing the skill panel, Zhou Han began checking his loot.
[You obtained Platinum equipment x7.]
[You obtained Gold equipment x39.]
[You obtained Lava Set Fragment x1.]
...
Zhou Han searched through the corpses of the Bloodshadow Violent Bears.
The harvest was quite good.
Just the Platinum equipment alone totaled seven pieces—the drop rate was already very generous.
"Hm? Lava Set Fragment?"
Among the many notifications, Zhou Han sharply noticed this one.
After all, everything else was complete equipment, while this was a fragment, making it stand out.
Just as Zhou Han was about to check it, several shouts suddenly came from behind.
"Kid, all the materials here belong to our Azure Dragon Adventure Group!"
"If you know what's good for you, get lost, or don't blame us if you lose your head!"
"Hey, I'm talking to you! Touch our stuff again and I'll fucking kill you!"
Zhou Han frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
This Azure Dragon Adventure Group had quite the arrogance.
These Bloodshadow Violent Bears were clearly all killed by Zhou Han, yet they were twisting the truth and trying to take everything by force.
"You're saying these belong to you?"
Zhou Han stood up, pointing at the corpses without a trace of emotion.
"Isn't that obvious? Of course they're ours!"
"Didn't you hear us? Get lost!"
One of the lackeys, hot-tempered and used to throwing his weight around under the group's name,
swaggered forward and tried to grab Zhou Han's shoulder.
"Courting death!"
Zhou Han shrugged slightly, releasing a powerful force.
The lackey let out a scream and was sent flying several meters before crashing to the ground.
"Y-you… just you wait!"
"Daring to oppose our Azure Dragon Adventure Group? You're tired of living!"
The lackey's face twisted with shock and anger as he spat out threats.
"Report this to Brother Azure Dragon! This is a provocation against our group's authority!"
Zhou Han saw several people run off to report, but he didn't stop them,
nor did he go for the kill.
"Good. If they all come, I can wipe them out in one go."
Zhou Han smiled faintly. That would save a lot of trouble.
Then he continued counting his loot.
...
"Brother Tiger, something's strange. The Bloodshadow Violent Bears here have all been killed too!"
"Looks like it was done by the same person."
"I dug out a bear gallbladder just now—it was shattered."
"Damn, this person is insanely strong! Even the bears were scared out of their wits!"
After collecting materials from the Stone Pattern Giant Python,
the members of the Berserk Blood Adventure Group arrived at the bear forest,
and were equally shocked by the scene.
"Look over there—that's the Azure Dragon Adventure Group. Did they enter this place too?"
"Now it all makes sense. The Stone Pattern Giant Python and the Bloodshadow Violent Bears here were all killed by them."
"No wonder. As the number one adventure group in Azure Thunder City, their strength is truly terrifying!"
Everyone exclaimed in amazement. The Azure Dragon Adventure Group had many experts,
and was also deeply connected with the major forces in Azure Thunder City.
"Something must be happening. Why are they so aggressive?"
"Let's go take a look!"
...
There were more than twenty people in front of him.
They all wore uniform black short shirts,
with a blue dragon tattooed on each of their arms.
Their burly physiques made them look extremely imposing.
At this moment, cruel smiles were on their faces,
and their gazes toward Zhou Han were filled with mockery and ill intent.
"Kid, I won't waste words. You provoked our adventure group. I, Yan Qinglong, am not unreasonable."
"How about this—I'll give you a chance. Kneel down and kowtow ten times, then cut off one of your arms yourself, and we'll call it even."
The bald-headed leader Yan Qinglong spoke as if he were being merciful.
Zhou Han narrowed his eyes. He didn't want to waste time and was about to make a move,
when a pleading voice came from behind.
"Brother Azure Dragon, give me, Fat Tiger, some face. We'll pay the compensation that's due. How about letting this young man go?"
