Looks Pretty Lively to Me
The crimson flame, sealed by multiple binding forces, still exuded a chilling aura even through layers of Abjuration.
If I remember correctly, after Dongli Cang in the Trial Instance receives the inheritance, he can directly alter the celestial phenomena, just like the Xiantian in the Martial Dao system...
However, Su Luo hanging in the sky at the time and couldn't see clearly just how strong he was.
"This inheritance is SS Rank, a bit weaker than his SSS Rank, but it should still be able to boost Attributes by 20 or more..."
Su Luo needs to inherit something, but not so much.
The way the Superpower Orb works is by actively interfering with and modifying the carrier, making it more compatible with its own inheritance.
This power is 'bestowed'; its source, transformation process, and final form are all determined by the inheritance itself.
And this is precisely what Su Luo is most wary of.
His power system is a composite growth path Mana Side, incorporating technology, industry, soul Craft, and Elemental Control. He will expand into other systems in the future, and has been laying the foundation for this.
Su Luo's own power system was developing perfectly well, and then she just fused with a legacy and overturned it all. Isn't that just causing trouble?
Su Luo needs the operating mechanism and knowledge of the [Flamefire Legacy], as for the power it directly grants...
Su Luo glanced into the inner room of the Laboratory and put away the strange flame.
Next, there was the special item that Yuncang No. 0 had seized.
[Unknown Atlas (Special) (Normal)]
[Already bound to: Su Luo]
[There seems to be some Text inside...]
Su Luo's Divine Power, like a fine probe, penetrated deep into the book. Beneath the rough leather texture lay a vast and Chaos mental space, seemingly outlined with a primal aura.
He searched patiently and soon "saw" several strange Text that were also slowly twisting and flowing near several constantly changing, lifelike, mysterious figures.
These Text themselves seem to carry a subtle sense of mental pressure; those with weak willpower might feel dizzy looking at them directly, much like Song Shige's [Vast Sea Scroll]. It seems that Martial Dao training requires a lot of willpower.
Su Luo instantly completed the memorization and analysis, and then in the real space, she mobilized her vast and condensed Divine Power to meticulously "replicate" these Text.
From the beginning to the end, from the subtle curves of the structure to the fleeting flow of the spirit, Su Luo achieved a 100% accurate simulation. However, nothing happened. There was no energy gathering in the air, and she herself did not receive any feedback or benefit.
"I think I saw Survivors from the Martial Dao side use it before, it's an Array Formation -type... Vital Energy -driven?"
Su Luo flipped his hand and directly activated the Vital Energy he had stolen from the [Desolate Continent].
As soon as the Vital Energy appeared, it seemed to be attracted by an invisible force, automatically flowing towards those floating Divine Power Text.
In an instant, the Vital Energy was depleted, and the Text suddenly glowed faintly, spreading a faint sense of resilience that acted on the physical body—a very basic combination Runes effect that enhanced physical defense and recovery.
"These combinations seem to have a strengthening effect..." Su Luo combined them, and her Vital Energy surged, turning consumption into benefits, but it had no effect on Su Luo.
The quality of the Text and the overall feel of the Vital Energy are absolutely terrible.
"I understand... This Text is one of the methods in the Martial Dao system, a basic application of 'Runes'. Compared to the Spells of the Mana system, it focuses more on the direct mobilization and conversion of energies such as 'Blood Qi and Vital Energy' and 'vital energy.' In terms of energy utilization efficiency, universality, and applicability, it currently seems far inferior to the mature Mana Spell system."
Looking back on past battles, Su Luo realized that she rarely saw strong Martial Dao arts practitioners use these things. Perhaps they were more for support, cultivation, or certain Rituals, rather than as the main force in real-time combat.
"So, the function of this special item is... to accelerate the mastery of the basic Runes of the Martial Dao system, roughly increasing the comprehension efficiency by two to three times... In Mana Side, it's like a special item that accelerates the learning of Spell basics, possibly increasing skill experience several times over when used..."
Su Luo studied it for a while longer, following Han Song's special item cultivation strategy. Relying on her powerful Divine Power, she kept going in and out, adjusting and refining, and finally successfully obtained the materials and conditions needed for the advancement of [Unknown Atlas (Special) (Normal)].
"It's alright. Apart from the troublesome Vital Energy crystal formation, the other materials aren't particularly rare compared to the current market in Zone 76, and the cultivation conditions are simple. Just have Yuncang No. 29 keep an eye on it."
Su Luo sent the materials list directly to Qin Lang through the Survival System, along with a brief description.
"The final gain is the enormous amount of knowledge I've acquired this time." After organizing it, Su Luo immediately entered the Dreamscape.
"Same old routine, first enhance the Dreamscape, increase the time flow, extend learning time, then work on Attributes..."
The World Channel is bustling, the Regional Channel is bustling, and the Area Dungeons are bustling.
The entire Darkness Survival... was quite lively.
The Forbidden Class are gradually returning, reinforcing the backbone of each powerful region, and they are standing taller than usual.
But for every person who laughs, there is someone who cries. For every person who eats, there is someone who eats shit.
The casualty rate this time was beyond anything expected; the death rate for Forbidden Class in the [Great Being]'s invitation was significantly higher than in the Continued Battle.
Approximately 15% of those with Forbidden Class remained forever in the world outside the Land of Darkness.
This number is far higher than the average level of the previous two "Continued Battles," casting a heavy shadow over the Survivor community.
In contrast, highly skilled professionals invited due to their special Talents had a much lower casualty rate, as they mostly engaged in auxiliary, exploration, or special production tasks, thus avoiding the most brutal direct confrontations.
With the Monster Tides becoming increasingly difficult, most Regional Channels are no longer as inactive as they used to be. Those who know they're going to die will vent their frustrations, while those who know they won't are actively looking for teammates or trading.
The more profound impact lies in the diversion of potential.
As time goes by, detailed information, strategy tips, and even "standard answers" about the various difficulty levels of the "Trial Instance" are irreversibly spreading through various channels.
This directly led to a serious consequence:
The probability of ordinary Survivors who haven't yet Class Change obtaining a "Forbidden Class" through high-rated trials is plummeting. The mystery and individual breakthrough potential of the trials have been greatly diminished, and involution and formulaic approaches are beginning to Spread.
The window of opportunity for a strong career is closing completely.
It's safe to say that Survivors who haven't yet Class Change are no longer qualified to become Forbidden Class players.
