Chapter 181 - Level 50! Pass The Support Trial

[Player Announcement: Player “01” has passed the legendary difficulty level 40 – 49 qualification review and obtained the Proof of Legendary Invincibility!]

“Huh? Every time I clear the legendary difficulty, I will trigger a player announcement?”

Ling Yi’s mouth twitched when he returned to his living room. He felt like he was forced to be reckoned with with his high-profile.

Now, everyone in the world knew that he had two Proofs of Invincibility!

He went to the forum to take a look and found that everyone was not too surprised by this incident. He could not help but smile.

The world had gradually accepted the shock he brought.

Comments like “he’s a Big Shot anyway, I won’t be surprised no matter what he does”, “he’s the one who’s really playing God’s Path anyway, while we’re being played by God’s Path” and so on could be found everywhere.

After leisurely browsing through the forum for a while, Ling Yi unhurriedly opened his interface. After looking at it in satisfaction for a while, he took out the Exp needed to level up from the experience pool.

[Congratulations! You have accumulated enough exp. You have been automatically raised to level 50!]

[You have received 5 free attribute points]

[You have received a rescue trial challenge!]

[The Support Trial…]

‘This time, I have to get a close-combat support Skill.’

He had wanted to learn melee Skills for a long time.

Otherwise, every time a strong enemy got close, he could only run away.

There was nothing else to do after reaching level 50, so he went to the forum and opened the post that other players had summarized, a list of Skills and effects dropped in the Support Event.

Pa da pa da…

Lin Shurou walked down the stairs and jumped into his arms like a happy rabbit.

Her body was white and soft, fragrant and tender.

She was only wearing a pair of pink semi-transparent camisole pajamas, which showed off her exquisite and beautiful snow-white jade-like body.

Ling Yi had originally planned to go for the trial immediately after he found a satisfactory support Skill, but when this charming girl sat on him, he could only raise his eyebrows helplessly.

“You’re getting more and more beautiful.” He touched Lin Shurou’s face and said.

The first time he met her, she was “only pretty” to the extent that she was pleasing to the eye, but he would forget about her as soon as he turned his head.

With the help of the spring water and [Wholehearted Prayer], her skin, face, and figure were changing in a more charming and perfect direction every day.

Up until now, even a straight man like Ling Yi could take the initiative to say ‘beautiful’ when he saw her.

“Hmph, Hmph ~”

Lin Shurou smiled and rubbed her face against his palm. After Ling Yi retracted his hand, she wrapped her snow-white arms around Ling Yi’s neck and said, “This is not enough. I still want to become even more beautiful and charm you to death… Do you have anything to do now?”

“There was originally… But if you’re here now, it won’t be too late for me to do it tomorrow.” Ling Yi replied.

Lin Shurou giggled as if she had just eaten honey. She then turned around and stood barefoot on the large wooden table in the middle of the three sofas.

“The height of this table is just right.”

She sat down slowly and held the hem of her dress in her mouth as she leaned back. Her fair feet stepped on the edge of the wooden table, and her bent knees fell to the sides.

Both her hands were placed on the table behind her, and her beautiful eyes winked at the man in front of her teasingly.

…

Ling Yi only came down to the main hall when it was almost noon.

“Isn’t Shurou getting more and more charming?” Yunji said with a smile as soon as he came down.

“Yes, she is,”

Ling Yi nodded and sighed. She’s self-taught in this aspect. She’s improving very quickly.

He was afraid that if she continued to improve like this, one day in the future, if he lacked self-control, he might be immersed in the gentleness she weaved and be unable to extricate himself.

“It’s because she wants to please you.” Yunji covered her mouth and chuckled.

Ling Yi didn’t continue on this topic with Yunji. Instead, he changed the subject and said, “Speaking of which, is there a Support Skill that can improve both strength and agility as well as close-combat Skills?”

“This… I don’t think so.”

Yunji muttered to herself for a while, then shook her head and gave a negative answer.

Seeing Ling Yi’s disappointed expression, she pursed her lower lip and thought for a moment. She then said, “Actually, I’m not too sure either. For some of the Support Skills, A and S grade are almost two different Skills.”

“Oh?”

“For example, the A-grade wings of space can only allow you to fly or teleport, but the S-grade can allow you to teleport. Therefore, the Skill that you want might be a Skill that improves close combat Skills. Perhaps an S-grade Skill might be able to provide an additional attribute increase.”

Hearing this, Ling Yi instantly felt that it made sense. However, there was only one chance for the escort trial. He didn’t dare to test it out on an unknown Skill.

Just as he was frowning and thinking hard, he suddenly remembered the existence of the prompt.

“Oh right! I have the Prompt! You can just use it directly!”

There were only three chances to use the talismans every week, and he had already used up the three he had last week. He still had three more chances this week.

Ling Yi quickly took out the [System Prompt] and used it.

In a short while, the flames burned out four words in front of him.

Heroic Soul Borrowing

He looked at Yunji, who shook her head and said, “I’ve never heard of it.”

He searched on the forum and quickly found the corresponding content.

[You can store a part of another player’s strength and agility by borrowing the power of a heroic soul. When you enter the state of heroic soul possession, you will improve your own level by the corresponding amount.]

[It is an excellent Support Skill that can quickly become a close-combat expert without hard practice every day and night.]

“Oh? So it’s a kind of support Skill…”

This was the first time Ling Yi had seen such a technique. He was surprised.

Yunji had also seen the flaming text and had searched it on the forum. Seeing that Ling Yi was slightly moved, she couldn’t help but ask him, “But if you really came up with this support Skill? Who should I borrow strength from?”

“Mm… The Phoenix Sword Saint might agree.”

Because he knew that the other party was guessing his true identity, he was extremely confident in his heart.

After that, Ling Yi didn’t dawdle any longer. He quickly entered the trial event where the [Heroic Soul Borrowing] to borrow another’s strength.

[Ancient Tomb]

[Trial requirements: kill all the monsters in the field in the shortest time possible.”

[Possible Support Skills: Battle Bond, War Soul Ignition, Cooperative Battle, One Heart and One Mind, Heroic Soul Borrowing]

Ling Yi entered the arena.

“[Starfall]! [Starfall]!”

Five seconds later, the flame star landed on the ground.

Then, he was teleported out.

[Congratulations! You have successfully cleared the trial event ‘Ancient Tomb’]

[It took you only 6 seconds to eliminate all the monsters in this trial and you have received an S grade score!]

[Congratulations! You’ve obtained a Support Skill: Heroic Soul Borrowing (S)]

A trial that could be completed by just clearing the monsters wasn’t difficult at all for the current Ling Yi.

Yunji was confused when he came back so fast.

“You went for the Support trial?” She frowned and looked confused.

He had returned after just having one sip of tea?

“Yes, it was easy to settle.”

He ignored the woman’s incredulous expression and opened his personal panel to check the support Skill he had just received.

[Heroic Soul Borrowing (S)]: Copy the strength and agility attributes of a designated player and store them. After that, you can enter the borrowing state and temporarily increase the corresponding strength and agility. During the borrowing period, 5% of stamina and health will be consumed every second.
