Chapter 502 Four Awakenings

After some discussion, everyone finally decided to plant the [Crystal Energy Poison Tree] in an artificial lake not far from the research institute.

In fact, they originally wanted to plant it outside the Awakening School or the City Hall, but the crystal energy poison tree will excrete poisonous water, and ordinary people cannot get close to the poisonous water, so it is better to plant it in an empty and uninhabited place.

After the place was selected, Gu Yun began to send people to deal with the environment here. The water in the artificial lake had to be drained away, and the residents living here had to be relocated. This will take time, but the [Crystal Energy Poison Tree] still needs a few more days. It takes days to activate, which is enough time.

After settling the matter of the [Crystal Energy Poison Tree], Gu Yun asked about building a nest for the golden eagle. It's freezing and snowy outside now, and many superpowers in the base have nothing to do. You can ask them to come over and help. There's more power in numbers!

Wang Tao thought about it and thought it was okay. As for what kind of nest to build for the golden eagle, Wang Tao asked the golden eagle for its opinion. It said it didn't matter because it didn't have high environmental requirements.

In this case, Wang Tao will let Ding Yuqin and the others do their best. And Wang Tao himself... is preparing to start his fourth awakening.

After returning home and everything was ready, Wang Tao fused four advanced awakening keys.

After a moment, Wang Tao opened his eyes under the expectant eyes of everyone.

“It’s done!”

Wang Tao's luck has always been good, with a 70% awakening probability that he has never failed.

Without having time to elaborate, Wang Tao lay directly on the bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

In his sleep, Wang Tao appeared in a pure white space. There was no flame, no darkness, and it seemed like there was nothing. But Wang Tao can clearly feel that his physical fitness is getting stronger.

“System awakening…”

This result is similar to what Wang Tao thought. After all, Wang Tao only has the last hidden attribute left [physical fitness], which increases physical fitness, so his awakening is obviously related to physical fitness.

Quietly enjoying the feeling of physical enhancement, Wang Tao slowly lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, it was already a day later.



Wang Tao opened his eyes. He had never felt so good before!

Whether it is physical or mental, his condition is extremely good!

Wang Tao clenched his fist, feeling the increased power, which made him a little fascinated.

I have to say that the awakenings of his three fire, spiritual and dark elements are strong, but from his personal perception, they are not as comfortable as the system awakening. The feeling of improved physical fitness is simply not that great!

“Brother, you wake up!”

Hearing the sound, Wang Tao turned his head and saw Jiang Shixue sitting next to him.

“Xiaoxue, where are the others?”

Wang Tao is a little curious.

“They were all discussing building a nest for Xiao Jin. I didn’t understand that, so I didn’t participate... Do you need me to call them here?”

Jiang Shixue asked.

“That’s no need. Let them be busy. It’s just a wake-up call. Just come and test it with me.”

Wang Tao shook his head.

His awakening this time is a passive system awakening, which is relatively simple to test.

"good!"

Jiang Shixue nodded immediately. She was obviously very interested in Wang Tao's fourth awakening.

Wang Tao looked at his health bar.

【HP: 110000/110000】

【Blue amount: 150000/150000】

【Advanced special energy: 180】

【Awakening Key: 10】

【Advanced Awakening Key: 0】

【Level: Level 5】

【Awakening: Catching Fire, Spirit Development, Heart of Darkness, Man of Steel】

【Awakening Energy: 6500/6500】

【Power: Fireball, Explosive Flame, Searing Eyes】

His ability [Frenzy Amplification] is gone, replaced by the newly awakened [Steel Body]!

【Man of Steel: All basic attributes and mental strength are improved in all aspects, the recovery speed of blood volume and mana is greatly increased, all negative status effects are weakened, and all basic attributes are slowly enhanced】

Seeing this new awakening, even the well-informed Wang Tao couldn't help but grin.

Most system awakenings are passive awakenings that increase basic attributes. Some of the better ones will add some additional attributes, such as additional strength, defense, etc.

Wang Tao’s [Man of Steel] belongs to the latter category. In addition to all-round improvements in basic attributes, there are also additional attributes.

However, the additional attributes he has added are more than any system awakening he has ever seen - additional attributes such as mental power, the speed of mana recovery and blood recovery, the weakening of all negative status effects, and the slow enhancement of all basic attributes!

The fused ability of [Man of Steel] is [Frenzy Amplification], and Furious Amplification is a fusion of multiple abilities. For example, it slowly returns to blue under the sun, and slowly returns to blood on the land.

But this attribute is not very strong, especially for Wang Tao’s HP, it is basically useless. He mainly relies on Lan Yulian, Ding Yuqin and others to restore health.

Now, the newly awakened [Man of Steel] has additionally increased blood volume and mana recovery speed, which has been greatly improved!

One is "large" and the other is "slow". There is obviously a difference, and the difference is probably not small.

Then there's the "all negative status effect reduction" ability, which sounds pretty good. For example, those frozen zombies have a freezing halo. Unless Wang Tao uses Catching Fire to Start a Prairie Fire, he will also be hit. But with this "negative status effect reduction" ability, the effect of the freezing aura can be reduced!

Perhaps Wang Tao can directly resist the lord's freezing aura without using Catching Fire!

And this ability refers to "all negative states". Weakness, bleeding, poisoning, etc. are all negative states and can definitely be weakened.

Then this is equivalent to improving Wang Tao's defense ability by several levels at once!

Plus there is also a “slow enhancement of all basic attributes”!

This attribute refers to slow enhancement, but in Wang Tao's view, regardless of whether it is slow or not, this is actually a passive ability that can grow infinitely! He loves it!

However, compared with the previous abilities, [Man of Steel] actually lacks one ability—the previous [Frenzy Amplifier] has a [Frenzy] ability.

【Rage】The ability is to remove negative status when the blood volume is lower than 30%, restore all attributes to full value, increase the size, increase speed and attack, and reduce defense. Lasts for one hour and can be triggered no more than once per day.

This is a very good ability, and it also saved Wang Tao's life. But Wang Tao has always been very cautious, so he doesn't trigger berserk many times. Even if the rage is gone now, it doesn't matter to him. After all, he gained much more than he lost.

And Wang Tao feels that Berserk is not really gone, but has been integrated into Awakening, such as his "weakened negative status". This must have something to do with Berserk's removal of negative status. Normal system awakening should not have such additional Attributes…

Anyway, just looking at the introduction of "Man of Steel" and Wang Tao's current personal experience, Wang Tao is very satisfied.

But how strong it is exactly needs to be tested.

So Wang Tao asked Jiang Shixue to attack him.

“You can’t hurt me no matter how hard you try.”

“Okay~”

Although Jiang Shixue nodded, she still didn't use much force in her first attack on Wang Tao.

"so hard…"

Jiang Shixue touched her little fist. She felt as if she had just been hit on a steel plate.

“Come on, try harder.”

Wang Tao said with a smile. This time Jiang Shixue used great strength and punched Wang Tao in the abdomen.

But Wang Tao still acted like a normal person.

“You have such a strong defense, and I feel that your body is too hard, and you don’t look like a human being at all…”

Jiang Shixue was a little surprised.

“Haha, come and touch it again.”

Wang Tao stretched out his arm and Jiang Shixue squeezed it gently. This time there was no steely feeling.

“Huh? Can you control the softness and hardness of your body by yourself?”

Jiang Shixue was a little surprised.

The muscles of the human body can be soft or hard, but Wang Tao's skin has become hard, so it is obviously not as simple as controlling muscles.

“Actually, it’s not controlled by me, but it’s automatic...”

Wang Tao explained.

Simply put, as long as someone attacks him, his skin will harden. If it is in daily life, his skin will be the same as that of a normal person.

Wang Tao thinks this feature is very good, it not only increases defense, but does not affect daily life.

And not only the defense was enhanced, Wang Tao's attack power also increased a lot.

If he had had this strength when fighting the Golden Eagle, he could have saved at least half the fighting time. It is estimated that the Golden Eagle would not even have a chance to surrender!

“So strong!”

Jiang Shixue looked at Wang Tao with bright eyes.

"Ha ha!"

Wang Tao smiled and rubbed Jiang Shixue's hair, his vanity greatly satisfied. But he quickly shook his head.

“But this is not my strongest state yet…”

Wang Tao’s three abilities have not yet been upgraded, and are currently still in the primary stage of fifth level. The strongest state must be to use the sixth-level promotion crystal core to upgrade to the sixth level +1.

Of course, he currently does not have a sixth-order crystal core, so he can upgrade it to fifth-order +10.

Then, Wang Tao only has three powers now, and he can learn one more! As for this superpower, Wang Tao already had a choice.

He turned his palm over, and an orange crystal core appeared.

【Level 5 Crystal Core·Almighty Shield】

ˆ【Quality: 100% (Epic)】

【Purity: 30% (Side Effect: The upper limit of blood volume is reduced by 200,000)】

【Almighty Shield: Passive ability, condensing an invisible shield outside one's body. The shield can block any attack, but there is a limit. When the damage taken reaches the limit, the shield will break. After being broken, it can be re-condensed using awakening energy. (Only those with system awakening can use it)]

This is the trophy he got from killing the giant hammer zombie before. The omnipotent shield of the giant hammer zombie caused a lot of trouble for Wang Tao.

Wang Tao wanted to fuse it himself after he exploded the crystal core. But at the time, he was not at a high level and was not a system awakener, so he had no choice but to give up.

Now, Wang Tao has already reached the fifth level, and has successfully awakened a system awakening. He can finally fuse this crystal core!

But now there is still a problem, that is, the side effect of this crystal core is to reduce the upper limit of 200,000 blood volume.

Since this crystal core is too precious, Wang Tao does not have time to synthesize it into a side-effect-free crystal core, but this reduction in the upper limit of blood volume can be compensated. So for Wang Tao, this side effect can be tolerated.

 Wang Tao hunted a large number of mutated plants before and obtained a lot of [Advanced Tree Essence], which increased his upper limit of blood volume to 210,000.

Theoretically speaking, it is just enough.

But after he just awakened, he lost 100,000 HP, and now he only has 110,000 left...

Wang Tao doesn't know what the effect of fusing the crystal core will be in this situation, and whether it will lead to immediate sudden death, Wang Tao is not interested in knowing. So Wang Tao planned to go out to hunt zombies or mutated plants to replenish the upper limit of his blood volume.

After returning to 210,000 health again, he can fuse this crystal core that he has been thinking about!

At this time, Ding Yuqin and the others arrived.

They estimated that Wang Tao had woken up, so they all put down their work and came over to take a look.

Wang Tao put away the crystal core and briefly demonstrated his new awakening to everyone.

“Wow! Your defense has increased so much...that’s great!”

Lan Yulian was a little surprised.

Wang Tao just asked them to attack him. Without the use of weapons, others can still cause some damage to Wang Tao. Although it is very small, at least there is. And Lan Yulian really can't cause any harm... Although she is a nanny, she is still a fourth-level nanny, and her physical fitness is not weak!

Even if she holds a weapon and Wang Tao stands still and doesn't fight back, she might not be able to do it...

When Wang Tao saw the amazed Lan Yulian, he suddenly thought that his ability to restore mana and blood had not been tested yet.

So he put on the elapsed bracelet and let his blood volume begin to decrease. At the same time, he launched a few attacks outside, which consumed some mana.

After a moment, Wang Tao took back his bracelet and looked at his health bar.

ˆ【+500】

ˆ【+500】

ˆ【+500】

【…】

“Recovering 500 blood and 500 mana per second? That’s strong!”

Seeing this result, Wang Tao smiled broadly.

This number may not seem like much, but you must know that this is a passive ability that can be restored every second, and it can restore 30,000 blood in one minute!

From the perspective of this blood return effect, this is equivalent to having a relatively ordinary healing power user who keeps adding blood to him!

Not to mention that it can be restored to blue! There are currently very few ways to restore mana, but this ability alone is already very powerful.

With this ability to restore blood and mana, Wang Tao's battery life has been directly improved to a higher level. And as his strength improves in the future, this effect will definitely continue to improve.

If Wang Tao waits for the ability of [Almighty Shield] to be integrated, Wang Tao will not even know how strong his endurance and defense are!

As for Wang Tao's current attack power...Wang Tao has no plans to test it in the base. Because there is a high probability that no one can block his attack, and someone will definitely be injured in this test, so it is better to go outside and test.

So Wang Tao said to everyone:

“I’m going out tomorrow, what about you?”

"Together!"

Everybody said in unison.

In addition to wanting to see Wang Tao's current strength, they also wanted to experience the feeling of riding a golden eagle again.
