My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 269: Deceiving the Heavens and Changing Fate, Actual Combat Test

First is consumption.

The power of the random combination of fair trade amplification directly consumed Xia Lin's basic attributes of about 60w, and this was the attribute under the racial value bonus of 13.5 (originally 12.8, the East Wind Lord provided a 0.7 increase in the previous battle)!
And at this cost, the random combination showed its true power!

The chaotic light instantly merged into Lucifer's body.

A faint clicking sound rang out in Lucifer's head.

In the almost frozen time, Xia Lin clearly saw a faint blue light flashing between Lucifer's eyebrows, and a prismatic chip quickly appeared from nothing, but at the moment it appeared, it was split into two halves by the random combination of forces!

Half of the chip was pulled out from between Lucifer's eyebrows. As soon as it was exposed to the air, it turned into a torrent of black spots, rushing towards Xia Lin like a tide.

However, it was all absorbed by the spiritual books around Xia Lin, without any leakage.

A light suddenly flashed on the spiritual world book.

The new characteristics have been condensed with the help of the evil god's power, but Xia Lin has no time to look at them.

And when Lucifer's frantic "no" rang out, the prompt sound of the Cinder Zone system also exploded in Xia Lin's ears.

This is a normal effect of random combinations.

But this time the random combination is not aimed at Eying.

There is no other reason. Erying has too few skills, only three. Even if there is a perfect replacement, only three skills can be exchanged. This is not a big benefit for Xia Lin.

Therefore, the target of this random combination is Lucifer and Xia Lin themselves!

Long before this, Xia Lin had already adjusted the position of his skills.

His current skills are:

Constant skill column 10: Random combination, East Wind Master, Fair Trade, Immortal Sword Formation, Observation, Nourishing the Five Elements, Shadow's Recipe Book, Probability of Non-existence, Universal, High-level Energy Receptor.

Regular skill bar 7: Animal Transfiguration, Cooldown Reset, I am a Tree, Backstab, Single Man, Energy Conversion, and Teleport.

The direction of adjustment is mainly to exchange the positions of observation and backstab, energy conversion and high-level energy receptors.

The logic behind this decision is that the seven skills in the regular skill column are either skills that I don’t know how to use but I am reluctant to use them - for example, I am a tree.

Or, it’s cheap skills - in Erying’s recipe book, the 7 skills in the regular skill column, except for I am a Tree, are all priced at 1 evolution point, including Backstab!

Even if Xia Lin permanently lost a skill due to unexpected factors, he could still get the skill back at a low cost.

At this moment, Xia Lin used this combination of skills to trigger a random combination, in exchange for more skills from Lucifer.

[You have lost the following skills: Cooldown Reset, Backstab, Single-handed Attack, Energy Conversion, and Transposition! ]

Seven skills, five are replaced.

It seems like a stroke of luck, but it is not the case.

Because Lucifer has more skills than anyone expected.

As a tenth-level time mage, Lucifer only has ten skill slots in theory, but as a follower of the evil god, or even an incarnation of the evil god, Lucifer possesses another set of fraudulent skill systems, which means that he has not just ten skills, but a full twenty!
[You have acquired the following skills: Super Magic Circuit, Time Assassination, Fraud. Existence Reconstruction, Fraud. Super Power Criticality, Fraud. Fact Denial! ]

The skills exchanged back this time have a certain element of luck.

Because what Xia Lin wanted to exchange the most was the Time Assassination Technique - this skill was too disgusting and powerful. Whether Xia Lin wanted to have this skill was another matter, but it was better for his enemies not to have this damn skill.

What’s more, four of the five skills that were exchanged back are racial foundation-level skills!
[Super Magic Circuit (SSS level): Passive skill, a skill exclusive to magicians. It greatly increases your total magic power and the power of your magic skills! ]

A simple but powerful passive skill.

The time assassination technique is not mentioned.

[Fraud. Existence Reconstruction (Racial Heritage Level): Active skill, requires the power of the Fraud Evil God to be used. Consume varying amounts of mental energy to create all the people and things you have ever seen! The fictional entity only has a certain strength and power of the original entity. At the same time, the stronger the entity you create, the more mental energy you consume. This skill has no cooldown time.]

What a skill!
With just a glance, Xia Lin could think of a hundred ways to apply this skill, and the price of the skill was worth it.

The recipe book costs a full 37 evolution points.

[Fraud. Super Power Critical (Racial Heritage Level): Active skill, requires the power of the Fraud Evil God to be used. Consume varying amounts of mental power, defraud your own body, and temporarily improve your basic attributes! The extent of the improvement depends on the amount of mental power consumed. This skill has no cooldown time! ]

Another awesome skill!
The awesome thing about this skill is that it has no upper limit on its amplification!

In other words, if you have enough mental power, this skill can instantly raise the user's physical attributes to an outrageous level until the mental power is exhausted!

The duration and extent of the improvement depend entirely on the user's will, which makes this skill quite flexible to use and greatly expands the application scenarios of this skill.

I glanced at the recipe book.

This skill costs 23 evolution points.

[Fraud. Fact Denial (Racial Heritage Level): Active skill, requires the power of the Deception Evil God to be used. Consumes varying amounts of mental power to deny existing facts! This skill has no cooldown time!]

The shorter the description, the stronger the skill.

There is some truth in this statement.

Because the shorter the skill, the more room there is for development.

I glanced at the recipe book from the corner of my eye and saw that it cost 168 evolution points.

The high number made Xia Lin's eyelids jump.

This skill is more expensive than Undead.

[Unstable mutation takes effect! ]

This is followed by the prompt tone.

But as the five skills mutated rapidly, Xia Lin took a quick look and shook his head in disappointment.

According to the pricing in the recipe book, none of the five variations are positive variations, so none of them are retained.

Just after completing this series of operations, the time that was solidified by the random combination began to flow again.

In the data layer, the fictional entity that was entangled with Wenrou Xingfanwu collapsed in an instant - Lucifer lost his deception. With the reconstruction of existence, these fictional entities naturally lost the basis of their existence.

Before Lucifer, Wenrou, or even Xing Fanwu could make any move, the shadow of the balance flashed past Xia Lin again.

The skills you get in return have to be sold and exchanged for evolution points, which is the income you put in your pocket.

Five skills provided Xia Lin with a full 27 evolution points!
The high earnings of evolution points almost made Xia Lin's mouth burst with laughter.

Although judging from the purchase price of the fair trade and the purchase price of the recipe book, one of these two skills must have received a huge kickback.

But Xia Lin said that they were all family and it was no big deal.

That is the next second when the skills are cleared and the evolution points are credited.

The scars on the data layer are almost healed.

The power of this skill was extremely amazing, and Xia Lin didn't have much time to operate it.

Fortunately, he has accomplished what he wanted to do.

Looking at Lucifer and the other two through the thumb-sized crack, Xia Lin waved his hand.

"Goodbye."

Say hello first, then say goodbye.

Be honest in life and polite in work.

I'm Xia Lin, I can escape with one strike, you guys play around.

Turn around and leave!

Yes, Xia Lin never thought of rushing into the data layer to fight to the death with Lucifer.

He admitted that he was not strong enough and was probably not as good as Wenrou and Xing Fanwu.

Therefore, the smaller the ability, the smaller the responsibility... I, Xia Lin, sent Lucifer a random combination, and the mission was completed. The rest depends on Wenrou and Xing Fanwu, two strong men who are in the top 100 of the human race sequence.

The next second after Xia Lin withdrew, the data layer was completely sealed and restored to its original state.

Wenrou, Xing, Fan and Wu looked at each other in confusion, and then turned to look at Lucifer, who was even more confused.

They didn't quite understand Xia Lin's series of actions, but they could clearly perceive that Lucifer's strength had been severely damaged.

This made Wenrou raise the ice spear in her hand again and asked Xing Fanwu to crack his finger bones.

Lucifer: "..."

……

Just over ten seconds after Xia Lin left the Sivir Mage Tower, Xia Lin came back...

But unlike the thoughtful look on Xia Lin's face when he left before, at this moment Xia Lin had a smile on his face and was filled with joy.

Before Fang wanted to ask, Xia Lin had already said it.

"You can continue climbing the stairs."

Lucifer, who had lost his time assassination technique and half of his evil god's power, was exhausted from dealing with Wenrou and Xing Fanwu, and had no energy to pay attention to what was in his dream.

Even if he really repeated his previous operation, without the three racial heritage-level equipment and the time assassination technique, he would not be able to be Xia Lin's opponent.

Fang Xiang didn't ask any more questions after hearing this.

Just lie down and prepare to fall asleep.

Xia Lin summoned the book of the spirit world again.

At this moment, the light on the spiritual world book has faded, but changes have already occurred.

Looking at the attributes of the Spirit World Book, Xia Lin saw the changes.

[Current gain: Fraud (incomplete): You gain the power to use the Fraud Evil God skills, and the Spirit World Book reserves 1000 points of the Fraud Evil God's original power! Every time you use a Fraud skill, it will consume different amounts of Fraud Power depending on the skill effect.]

[Current fraud power: 1000 points.]

【Note: The power of deception cannot be replenished by conventional means.】

[Note: Fraud buff brings you an additional ability: cheating fate. ]

[Cheating fate: Active ability, consumes 500 points of fraud power. After activating this skill, you will get ten minutes of strong luck! In these ten minutes, you will have great luck! But when this skill expires, your luck will backfire and you will have bad luck for three days. ]

Xia Lin's eyes focused, and then he burst into laughter!

As an uncertain shadow, no one understands the importance of controllable luck better than him!
With this ability in hand, the miracle mechanism that is already almost invisible seems to have room for operation!

Of course, this capability is not without limitations.

The limitation lies in the fixed and irrecoverable amount of fraud power points. Even if you don't use other fraud skills and only use cheating fate, the current total amount of fraud power is only enough to use twice.

Xia Lin looked at the description of the spirit world book again, focusing his attention on the three words (incomplete).

Without much thought, Xia Lin had the answer.

"After all, he is just a follower of the evil god... Even if he is a more important follower, he does not have much power of deception, and cannot be compared with the evil god himself."

The Book of the Spirit World, a treasure against evil gods.

If this thing eats the Fraud Evil God whole, the fraud characteristic will most likely have no limit on the total amount of fraud power - it's a pity that Xia Lin is just thinking about it, and now he doesn't have the confidence to face any evil god.

"In short, I made a lot of money this round!"

In Xia Lin's opinion, the benefits of the changes in the Spirit World Book to him are even greater than the 27 evolution points gained and the three foundation-level equipment.

He looked up again and glanced at the data layer hidden in the sky.

From the current observation perspective, the data layer is no longer stable, and more weaknesses and cracks have emerged.

When the civil war broke out, Lucifer was at a disadvantage.

This made Xia Lin realize that this Ash Zone was about to end.

Even though we still haven't figured out many of the secrets of this Amber zone, the Amber zone boss Lucifer is about to be killed, and the Dream of All Beings is about to change hands.

All the problems in this ash area have been violently eliminated.

Facts have proven that there are definitely more ways to clear the Ashen Zone than just decrypting and following the process.

"But I haven't completed my promotion mission yet..."

Xia Lin muttered as he opened the task list and looked at the promotion task.

Two-thirds of the mission conditions have been met, thanks to Goode and Asgard...

Originally, Xia Lin had set his last target on Lucifer, but the problem was that previous tests had proved that Lucifer was no good.

Instead of fighting him to death by yourself, it is better to rely on the abilities of Sister Wenrou and Brother Xing Fanwu.

Thinking of this, Xia Lin had a flash of inspiration and thought of the ancient demon that was summoned into the dreams of all living beings by the Demon Realm Gate.

Ancient demon species, the highest-ranking existence among the demons!

Their natural racial values are not inferior to those of the divine beasts, and their innate talents and abilities are generally powerful and of very high levels.

From the brief contact before, Xia Lin judged that the strength of this ancient demon was no less than his own after being enhanced.

Probably could be a mission objective.

……

In the dreams of all beings.

Time has not gone back.

Everything was still frozen in the state when Xia Lin had just "died".

The ferocious ancient demon maintained the posture of punching, and the waves of air that surged out were like solidified air walls, piling up in all directions.

This dream condenses the spiritual essence of the entire world, and is filled with willpower and interfered by the power of evil gods. Therefore, its nature is extremely high. No matter whether it is powerful Ash Zone travelers such as Wenrou, or this ancient demon, as long as they have not seen through the rules of the dream, they will be bound by the rules of the dream.

I do not know how long it has been.

The dream finally began to fluctuate.

There was also a gleam of light in the ancient demon's eyes.

Doubt flashed across his eyes...

It had clearly smashed the opponent's head just now and was about to enjoy fresh flesh and blood, but for some reason, the man's body disappeared out of thin air.

Before the ancient demon could guess the cause and effect of this, it suddenly let out a scream.

A heavy fist wearing arm armor has pierced through the chest, bringing out a fountain of black blood!

Xia Lin appeared out of nowhere behind the ancient demon.

The killing ring on the arm armor that pierced through the chest glowed slightly, further tearing the shocking wound.

But the impact on the ancient demon is not that great.

Whether it is racial characteristics, skills or its own attributes, it can ensure that even if the chest is blown up, the ancient demon can still maintain sufficient combat effectiveness.

Until the east wind reappeared, Xia Lin's voice echoed faintly in the ears of the ancient demon.

"second round."

……

This ancient demon is a very suitable opponent for Xia Lin.

It has high basic attributes and strong vitality.

But it is not immune to the powerful defensive skills of the East Wind Lord.

Every time the east wind exploded, it could only barely break the ancient demon's scales, leaving a few scars on the ancient demon's body, just like an ordinary person being bitten by a mosquito.

The damage is not high, but the debuff and permanent attribute reduction are too deadly.

Just one minute later, Xia Lin realized that he had this guy in his grasp - and the Lord of East Wind had weakened the attributes of this beast to the point where it could be observed and seen through, so Xia Lin discovered that this thing did not have any big moves that could change the situation of the battle.

This allowed Xia Lin to take out various equipment and props from his personal space while fighting with the ancient demon and test the performance of each equipment in actual combat.

But in fact, there are only three types of equipment that need to be tested.

Song of the Siren, Grand Opening, and Breath of the Deep.

A dim light emanated from the conch-like siren song and rushed straight into the ancient demon's brain.

The soul attack caused the ancient demon to scream and wail in agony - only those who have tasted it know how it feels.

"It is considered strong control, and the speed is extremely fast. It is similar to a single-target locking skill. It cannot be avoided except by special methods. It is also a noble soul-type attack."

Moreover, the CD of this thing is only one minute, which is definitely a powerful weapon.

Xia Lin then took out the Grand Opening and pulled the trigger of the Grand Opening for the first time in this second battle.

[Unstable mutation takes effect...]

Xia Lin didn't even bother to think about the mutation effect and simply chose not to mutate.

Because what he wanted to try was the skill-enhancing effect of the grand opening buff.

But this attempt made Xia Lin a little disappointed.

Grand Opening is a foundation-level equipment, and the buff it provides is also a foundation-level buff.

However, I don’t know if it’s because the set is incomplete, but the grand opening buff has almost no effect on the racial foundation skills - the power increases of the East Wind Lord and the Immortal Killing Sword Formation are not obvious.

Nourishing the five elements will actually bring more benefits.

I think the high-level energy receptors that haven’t returned will also be able to benefit from the grand opening buff.

To sum up, the grand opening buff can improve Xia Lin's defense to a certain extent, but it is difficult to effectively improve Xia Lin's attack power.

"Not good..."

"But if the foundation-level buff mutates, there might be some surprises."

The previous ending was just for fun, but as long as your luck is not bad, the strength of the underlying buff after mutation is still worth looking forward to.

After several experiments, this ancient demon had been exhausted by Xia Lin and most of its attributes had been damaged.

It half-knelt on the ground with despair in its eyes, and saw Xia Lin pull out a black, half-meter-long finger bone from his personal space.

Using his finger bones as a sword, Xia Lin suddenly appeared in front of the ancient demon and forcefully stabbed the abyss into the ancient demon's body.

However, there was nothing unusual about the Abyss.

This made Xia Lin raise his eyebrows.

"Weird..."

Before he could think more, a familiar voice suddenly rang in Xia Lin's ears.

"Because the ancient demons do not belong to the abyss monsters. They are the demons of the Demon Palace. They are intelligent creatures recognized by the Six Pillars and even the Ashes."

"And this item of yours can only absorb the aura of the abyss demons."

The voice made Xia Lin turn around, and he saw a gentle figure appear behind him out of nowhere.

At this moment, Wenrou was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with long fluttering hair, and in her hand she was holding a blood-stained frost halberd.

It has a bit of the flavor of Daiyu plucking up the willow trees in the forest.

Seeing Xia Lin simply twist the ancient demon's neck, Wenrou smiled at Xia Lin and continued: "As for what are the abyss monsters and what are the Demon Palace demons, this is a long story."

It’s a long story so no need to elaborate.

Xia Lin will know when the time comes.

While listening to the system prompt sound in his ears [Promotion task has been completed, your level has been promoted to level eight, and the eighth skill column has been unlocked], Xia Lin looked at Wenrou.

"So, Lucifer..."

He smiled gently and said, "Thanks to your help, Lucifer is no longer a problem now."

Wenrou and Xing Fanwu's efficiency was faster than Xia Lin expected.

"But he is not dead. Because of Xing Fanwu's request, I handed Lucifer over to him to deal with."

After saying this, Wenrou invited Xia Lin.

"Would you like to go together and see the truth about Lucifer and this world?"

Xia Lin bowed and said, "My lady has an appointment, I dare not refuse to accompany her."

The truth doesn't really matter...

But the other half of the power of fraud in Lucifer is very important.
