My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 278: Alien Black Source, Doom Strikes

The three skills of Ergonomics, Mental Tide, and Heart of Black Source are must-buys.

Therefore, the question becomes which three skills to give up.

——Even though the indefinite constant talent provides a full ten additional skill slots, Xia Lin still feels that the skill slots are not enough...

After a little thought, Xia Lin smiled.

"Which skill should I give up? Didn't the answer to this question already come from cheating heaven and changing fate? There's no point in thinking about it!"

Yes, the first random combination after activating the skill of deceiving the heaven and changing the fate has already revealed which three skills should be abandoned.

Small animal metamorphosis, I am a tree, a high energy receptor.

Animal Transfiguration is part of the miracle mechanism, but its appearance rate is indeed low.

Because the miracle mechanism is difficult to use, it has a good effect only when combined with the "Cheating Heaven and Changing Fate". Without the "Cheating Heaven and Changing Fate" buff, this mechanism is almost the same as invisibility.

Therefore, it is enough for the miracle mechanism to retain only the core skills: the probability of non-existence and the cooldown reset.

I am a tree is a pretty good skill. It can break limits and reduce presence.

But the limitations are also great. After transforming into a tree, one cannot move or use skills, and the effect of breaking the limit is not outstanding, not as good as that of the Lord of East Wind and Breath of Abyss.

Oh, one more thing to mention, in the battle just now, the Lord of East Wind gave Xia Lin more than 10 basic attributes and 1 point of racial value.

Destroying stars and destroying armies should bring this level of benefits.

And the last high-level energy receptor is also useless.

It’s not that Xia Lin doesn’t need defensive skills, it’s just that the defensive ability of this skill is relatively low, and the limit-breaking effect is also average.

It’s not a pity to give up.

Make the decision to initiate fair trade.

The shadow of the scale flashed behind Xia Lin, and the three skills sold 200 attribute points and 1 evolution point.

——Evolution points come from I am a tree... This means that in the judgment of fair trade, this skill is still desirable, but Xia Lin’s skill bar is really not enough.

In this way, the evolution points reached 69 points.

But the cost is also high.

Purchasing the three skills of Ergonomics, Mental Tide, and Heart of Black Source costs a full 10 evolution points.

……

After the skill adjustment was completed, Xia Lin nodded with satisfaction.

In this way, he has another super trump card that requires prerequisites!

All I can say is that luck is not a momentary thing. Ten minutes of good luck can even affect a person's entire life.

A supernova explosion outside interrupted Xia Lin's thoughts.

While Yin Fu was filling the Bianhuang Star battleship with materials and adding fuel with a painful look on his face, he secretly turned back to glance at Xia Lin.

The look in his eyes was full of aggrievedness, as if saying: I gave you this thing, why do I still have to maintain it?

Captain, you are so dishonest...

Xia Lin stood up and patted Silver Axe's shoulder. The dimensional storm came cleverly. Xia Lin, who was in the center of the earth, could feel the battleships on the Border Star dancing wildly.

"We are so unlucky..."

Silver Axe couldn't help but complain, Xia Lin sighed: "It's just a necessary repayment."

Having said that, he activated the ergonomics function again.

As his mental power was lost madly, until the mental power limit was reduced to 600w, a new round of ergonomics allowed Xia Lin to reunite with the Border Star battleship.

With the bonus of Xia Lin's skills, the Border Star battleship's defense increased dramatically, allowing it to remain intact amid a series of misfortunes.

After a simple assessment, Xia Lin had a certain understanding of the extent of the misfortune.

"The negative effect of cheating fate doesn't mean I need to experience the fate of inevitable death."

"It's just like stepping in dog poop when you go out, or getting hit on the head by a flower pot while walking, but it's not as serious as facing an asteroid impact."

The effect of ten minutes of good luck is unparalleled, while three days of bad luck neutralizes the good luck. When the time is extended, the severity of the bad luck is not as outrageous as imagined.

"But it is certain that wishes will not come true, so Silver Axe, we have to adjust our route and try to get closer to the uninhabited area. We have to hold on for three days first."

Doing nothing is probably the best way to deal with bad luck.

……

As Xia Lin thought about it, the Border Star battleship turned around and flew into the deep space.

The satellite-sized Dongfeng Legion surrounded the Border Star battleship.

The vast fleet is like a moving galaxy, invincible.

This unparalleled power would make anyone's scalp tingle.

It is said that on that day, the Silver King lost three jobs, and the Black Iron Resistance Army also urgently contacted Xia Lin, but to no avail...

Xia Lin said that I have been unlucky these three days, so let’s not talk about anything and I won’t make any decision.

He just controlled the Border Star warship to fly towards the uninhabited area, and at the same time stayed in the main control room in the center of the earth, counting the gains after killing Xu Jie.

Six skills + six variant skills, that's twelve skills in total.

All these skills were included in the recipe book. Xia Lin took a quick inventory and found that there were no skills suitable for him.

The emphasis of the Confucian cultivation system is different from that of the Uncertain Shadow. It has a bit of a saying-as-practice flavor, which Xia Lin does not need at the moment.

It's just that with these skills combined together, if there is a chance in the future, Xia Lin will be able to play the role of a Confucian cultivator without leaving any flaws.

The key lies in the two foundation-level props on Xu Jie.

The books of saints and the calligraphy of the most elegant and beautiful people!
The strength of these two items harvested under the buff of "Cheating Heaven and Changing Fate" is unquestionable, and they must be Xu Jie's treasures!
[Saint's Scroll (Racial Heritage Level Equipment)]

[Function 1: Confucianism Sage: Greatly enhances all Confucian professional skills of the holder! ]

[Function 2: Sage's Quotations: This sage's book contains three sage's quotations, each of which has its own magical uses.]

[Draw a Prison on the Ground: Create an independent space field in a certain area. No one can leave the field until the effect of the prison on the ground ends! The field lasts for one hour, and the cooldown period of this function is three days. ]

[Stop the War: Create an independent space field in a certain area, where no one can use force or skills! The field lasts for three days, and the cooldown time of this function is ten days. ]

[A friend comes from afar: Mark a unit in advance. When you hold the Sage's Book and say "A friend comes from afar", you can instantly summon it to your side! This function has a cooldown of one month. Note: This function cannot transcend time and space (you cannot summon an external target to the Ashes dungeon, and vice versa). ]

You can tell the strength of this thing from its name.

If these three quotations from the saints are used properly, they can definitely be a powerful weapon that can change the situation of a battle.

But when this thing fell into Xia Lin's hands, it was still a little lacking - function one did not work.

But that didn't stop Xia Lin from putting this thing into his personal space and keeping it as a treasure.

The more means the better.

Under the premise that the skill slots are limited, expanding the means with props and equipment is naturally the best choice.

Then look at the prop called Qingjue Calligraphy Copybook.

The appearance of this prop is a framed piece of white paper with three big words "Kill" written on it.

After a quick look, Xia Lin immediately felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, as if his soul was hurt by the murderous intent contained in the word "kill".

Restricting his gaze and observing carefully, Xia Lin saw the attributes of the Qingjue calligraphy.

[Qingjue Calligraphy Copybook (racial heritage level item)]

[Function 1: Absolute Sword: There are seven "kill" characters written on the Qingjue calligraphy, which are the seven Absolute Sword intentions. Once activated, it can hurt the enemy with unparalleled power! When the seven sword intentions are exhausted, this function will be invalid! ]

[Function 2: Qing Jue Token: Holding this item, you can open the secret treasure of the Qing Jue Sword God. ]

Is it essentially a consumable item or a token item?

Let’s talk about function one first. Judging from the feedback from the visual killing word just now, the lethality of this item is probably quite amazing.

At present, four out of seven are gone.

It's a pity that in this battle, Xu Jie never played this card until his death - one reason was that Xia Lin's attack was too fast, and the other was that the fire hidden in his heart interfered with his judgment.

This is a good deal for Xia Lin right now.

Function 2 is even more interesting.

There is a special type of props in the Ashes area, namely the token props.

Those who hold token-like items can gain certain advantages in specific areas and situations.

Xia Lin also didn’t know where the Qingjue secret treasure corresponding to the Qingjue calligraphy was, nor did he know what good things were inside...

Just ignore it for now.

……

After putting away the Qingjue calligraphy copybook, Xia Lin opened his personal information panel and looked at the last item he had gained.

The skill called Black Heart.

With the Universal Sword in hand, Xia Lin was able to use the professional skills of other professions. At this moment, he calmed down and sensed it carefully. The reaction of the black source power in the entire Cinders area became clear at a glance.

However, in this ash zone, there are only four black source power reactions in total...

The closest one is the black flag at hand.

The condensed power of the Black Source was locked in the flag and the flagpole. Without the Black Source Heart, Xia Lin would not be able to sense that the black flag contained such powerful energy.

But unfortunately, it's sealed and can't be used...

The method of unblocking is unknown - there is insufficient intelligence and observation is powerless.

All we know is that this seal is obviously unrelated to the power of the black source, and the solution probably lies elsewhere.

The second closest person is Irene, who is still alive.

However, the black source power in her body is insignificant compared to the black flag and is much weaker.

After that, it was Irene’s sister, Scarlett.

With the Heart of Black Source in hand, Xia Lin installed a locator on Scarlett, allowing him to monitor her exact location in real time. She was moving towards the Border Star, and it was obvious that the long-distance call was not going through, so she simply blocked the door offline.

What’s interesting is that the intensity of Scarlett’s reaction to the Black Source Power is obviously much higher than that of Irene. From this perspective, Irene’s character as the Valkyrie of the Black Iron Resistance is showing signs of collapse.

However, the most distant and largest reaction of the black source force is located in the no-man's land in the deep space of the universe.

"This should be the black source...it's hidden quite deeply."

Replan the route and adjust the direction of travel to the border planet.

Anyway, Xia Lin didn't plan to do any extra operations in the next three days. It would be better to move closer to the location of the black source, wait until the disaster is over, take the black source first, and then complete the main task.

The plan goes through!
After the induction ended, Xia Lin thought again.

Then the mental power slowly lost, and after a miraculous transformation that even Xia Lin could not understand, it was transformed into the special energy brought by the Black Source Heart: the mutated black source power.

There are many types of energy under the professional system: the spiritual energy of the cultivators, the blood and internal energy of the warriors, the magic power of the magicians, etc. Xia Lin's scarlet power in the past also belongs to the category of energy.

Generally speaking, after acquiring relevant skills, special energy can be converted into mental power as a consumption of professional skills - the mutated black source power is no exception to this category.

The only point that needs to be experimented is what effect this mutated black source power has and what it can bring to Xia Lin.

From Irene's Black Source Deification Skill, Xia Lin knew that the original version of the Black Source power was extremely polluting and could pollute flesh and blood life and transform it into silicon-based life.

Rust is one of the manifestations of the power of black source.

"Then my mutated black source power..."

As Xia Lin muttered this, a faint black light burst out from his hands. He controlled the black light and slapped it towards his body, deliberately not taking any protective measures to verify the effect of the mutated black source power.

But nothing happened...

While wondering, Xia Lin suddenly thought of this possibility...

He snapped his fingers, and a Dongfeng missile as long as an arm appeared next to Xia Lin.

Concentrating the power of black source once again, Xia Lin slapped the Dongfeng missile.

Under the astonished gazes of Yu Xialin and Yin Axe, this Dongfeng missile, which was as long as an arm, grew a twisted and strangely flesh-and-blood head and limbs!

"What the hell! Missile girl!?"

You, Silver Axe, are still a two-thorned newt! ?

Xia Lin glanced at Silver Axe speechlessly, pointed at the missile and asked, "How dare you assume its gender!? How can you tell it's a woman!?"

Silver Axe was not sure what to say.

Maybe concepts like LGBT also exist on his home planet.

After looking at the flesh and blood missile for a few times, Xia Lin shook his head.

"It doesn't seem to make any sense..."

The power of the black source can contaminate flesh and blood, transforming it into steel.

Then Xia Lin made such a guess... Can the mutated black source power contaminate the steel and transform it into flesh and blood?
After trying it, hey, it really makes sense.

But it seems to be of no use...

Fortunately, Xia Lin did not give the Dongfeng missile a spirit first, thus avoiding humanitarian risks.

He simply snapped his fingers to disperse the Dongfeng missile. After thinking it over, Xia Lin couldn't help but feel curious.

Summon another Dongfeng missile, this time, Xia Lin possesses the spirit first!

Shark-faced missiles flew around Xia Lin, making a lot of noise.

It was not until Xia Lin slapped a strand of mutated black source power into the body of the Dongfeng missile that the change occurred.

Different from the twisted appearance last time.

This time, the spirit-possessed Dongfeng was contaminated by the mutated black source power. Perhaps because it had intelligence, its appearance was no longer twisted and weird, and it was no longer so hideous that it was unbearable to look at.

Instead, he grew up to be a person with thick eyebrows, big eyes, short and thick limbs, and a barrel-shaped body...a garbage can man?
Don't say it, it really looks like a person with an iron bucket on his body...

As soon as it had hands and feet, the little thing started running around everywhere.

Shouting the iconic slogan of the Dongfeng Fuling Corps: "Art is explosion!!"

He punched Silver Axe on the ankle.

With a loud "boom", Yu Xialin was stunned as an explosion equivalent to that of a double-kick firecracker occurred.

The aftermath of the explosion did not cause any other damage except for knocking the Dongfeng man to the ground a few times.

Then I saw the little guy suddenly stand up from the ground, and continue punching with his teeth and claws bared.

Rounds of explosions unfolded one after another, and Xia Lin and Yin Axe just watched the little thing perform a complete set of explosive turtle punches.

Until there is no more punches or kicks to cause explosions.

The little thing seemed to have run out of energy and sat on the ground gasping for breath.

As if something had suddenly occurred to him, Xia Lin snapped his fingers again.

Relying on the Lord of the East Wind, refill the little thing with gunpowder.

Dongfeng boy immediately became excited and refreshed.

The second round of explosive turtle punches begins...

Xia Lin looked at the noisy Dongfeng man and suddenly took a breath.

He realized that the combination of the mutated black source power and the four skills of East Wind Lord, Spirit Attachment and Cluster Tactics seemed to have changed the logic of East Wind Lord's skills!

……

Two days later.

In the vast starry sky, a wormhole suddenly opened, and the Dark Iron Rebellion fleet shuttled through the wormhole and crossed the star field.

In the distance, the huge Border Star battleship was looming, but void storms continued to erupt from the location of the Border Star battleship, blowing the Border Star battleship to move continuously and vibrate constantly.

In the flagship of the Black Iron Rebellion, Scarlett sat in the captain's seat, looking dimly at the distant border planet.

The voice of the communications officer rang in my ears.

"Still no response. Perhaps the signal is being disrupted by the void storm, or perhaps the other party doesn't want to respond to our communication request."

The correspondent naturally couldn't guess what the reason was.

On the side, Scarlett's adjutant sighed.

"I hope it's the former, not the latter. Otherwise, Princess Irene might be in great danger..."

Scarlett's worry about her sister flashed through her mind.

Only she herself knew that Irene's problem was not the most important issue at the moment.

The biggest problem lies in the navigation trajectory of the Border Star battleship!

It is heading towards where the black source is!
Without much thought, Scarlett had already made her decision.

"attack!"

The adjutant suddenly turned his head to look at Scarlett, with surprise flashing in his eyes.

attack?

What about Irene? What about the cooperation?
Scarlett did not answer the adjutant's doubts, but spoke again in a deep voice.

"Launch an attack immediately! Use the Void Annihilation Cannon!"

At this moment, Scarlett has her own logic in doing things.

Just as Irene said in the past: If the Black Iron Dynasty and the Black Iron Clan no longer exist, then what is the meaning of this world's existence?
The Black Source is the root of the Black Iron Dynasty and the forbidden fruit of the Black Iron Clan. Scarlett must not allow the Black Source to be touched by others. The importance of this is even greater than her and Irene's lives, and even the subversion of the Silver Empire!
The adjutant hesitated to speak, but finally had to convey Scarlett's instructions.

Just as the Void Annihilation Cannon began to accumulate energy, a wormhole opened again in the distant universe.

Far more warships than in the previous battle came from the other side of the wormhole and appeared near the Border Star warship.

After two days, the Silver King deployed his troops, summoned the empire's ten legions and various powerful weapons, and appeared on the scene again!
It’s hard to tell whether it’s a coincidence or the influence of bad luck.

In short, just when these three days of misfortune had not yet ended, the Silver Empire and the Black Iron Resistance intercepted Xia Lin at the same time.

We share the same goal and the same hatred for the enemy!

Various types of ship-borne star-destroying weapons began to accumulate energy.

In the main control room of Bianhuang Star, the clown leaned against the wall in silence. Silver Axe looked at Xia Lin pitifully and helplessly, with his hands spread out.

"I have no more tricks, and I have no more money..."

Two days of continuous cosmic disaster bombing made Silver Axe suffer terribly.

Various cosmic disasters do not fall into the category of technological weapons and cannot be exempted by the East Wind Lord.

Even though the defense of the Border Star warships has been greatly improved through the combination of man and machine, they cannot remain completely unscathed from all kinds of cosmic disasters caused by misfortune.

Silver Axe has been very busy these past two days...

All kinds of materials were taken out free of charge to repair the damage to the battleship on the border star.

Now that the enemy is attacking, Silver Axe simply gives up...

First, the losses were indeed too great, and the family assets were completely drained.

The second reason is because he trusts Xia Lin’s new job.

He came to the clown with his arms folded, looking like he was watching a show, which made the clown look at Xia Lin in confusion.

Then Xia Lin slowly closed his eyes and his consciousness entered the Border Star battleship, and the entire Border Star battleship trembled again!
"Losses are necessary. Believe me, after this round, Silver Axe, all your losses will be made up, even tenfold or a hundredfold."

Silver Axe laughed.

"This is the captain's style!"

Instead, the Joker was completely confused, not knowing what new things these two had done behind his back.

Until a low humming sound resounded through the void!
……

The huge Border Star battleship once again transformed into the appearance of a planetary giant.

However, the surrounding cosmic disasters followed closely, like a meat-cutting knife, constantly scratching the surface of the planetary giant and leaving scars.

Xia Lin didn't care about the technological weapons that were accumulating energy in the two fleets in the distance. These weapons could not break through the defense of the East Wind Lord.

However, there was a high-energy reaction in each of the two fleets, which forced Xia Lin to be on guard.

One is Scarlett.

According to the sensing results of the Black Source Heart, she hid her strength and was not weaker than the five Cinder Walkers who entered this time.

The other one is from the Silver Empire. His energy level is no less than Scarlett's. It is unknown whether it is the Silver King who leads the army in person.

Professionals of this level are themselves powerful star-destroying weapons, and the Lord of East Wind is not immune!
The cosmic disaster is imminent, and two high-energy reactions are waiting in the wings.

The situation was quite delicate, and with bad luck on his side, Xia Lin could not be sure whether the enemy lineup in front of him could pose a threat to him.

Fortunately, the legacy of that ten minutes of good fortune has continued to this day.

In two days, Xia Lin used the skill of Mental Tide and at the cost of 100 million points of his mental power limit, accumulated a sufficient amount of mutated black source power!
in this way……

“The day of harvest has come.”

Once a thought arises, everything in the world will be turned upside down!
Satellite-sized Dongfeng missile groups instantly appeared around the planetary giant.

The combination of spirit possession and cluster tactics gives these giant Dongfengs intelligence!
Black light suddenly burst out from the body of the planetary giant and merged into the bodies of the giant Dongfeng spirits.

The roar, noise, and the sound of flesh and blood growing pierced through the vacuum and inexplicably rang in the ears of everyone present!

In the turbulence of the void, the planetary giant spoke lightly.

"Come face me and my army of bomb boys!"
