Chapter 41: Medium Negative Status! Spirit Domain - Simulation!
Emotional Value: 250,4040;
Zhuge Lan: Σ(っQДQ;)っ
Wasn't this way too much?!
Just how many people had been hit by the Strongest Appraisal Technique last night?
Then he realized.
They were outside the Star Dou Great Forest, and most of the people in town were soul masters.
That was why the effect had been so outrageous.
Zhuge Lan was itching to act. Should he fire off another one before leaving?
With Close In Distance, Far In Horizon, he wouldn't expose himself anyway.
It was doable!
But Zhuge Lan thought of something and opened the detailed records.
He discovered that toward the latter half,
the Emotional Value had already dropped to single digits, and most of it was the mandatory 1 point of Emotional Value.
—The diminishing returns for the same emotion in a short period were too severe.
It was meant to stop him from relying on one trick forever.
The skill is such a BUG, so why doesn't the system have some BUGs too?
It's pretty rigorous.
Since the returns were low,
he gave up on the idea of doing it again.
Otherwise, if Zhao Wuji decided this place had been unlucky lately and headed straight back,
the loss would outweigh the gain.
Now then—
time to spend!
He would keep 500,000 as a reserve for emergencies.
He would spend the remaining 2 million all at once!
First, he would open a Soul Bone and see what happened!
He already had a head Soul Bone, so he directly selected a torso bone.
Spend 100,000 Emotional Value to unlock a torso Soul Bone!
Increase Soul Bone Year Limit: 10 Emotional Value/year; "Causality Reversal Torso Soul Bone": Increases Luck Value and comes with a Soul Bone Skill!; —Soul Bone Skill - Causality Reversal: Reverses the causality of a designated target for 3 seconds!; —At hundred-year quality, only effective against abilities below Soul Grandmaster!;
Whoa!
The Soul Bones of Douluo Continent, even External Soul Bones, only enhanced the physique and spiritual power.
His enhanced Luck Value!
And—
the Soul Bone Skill sounded like a total BUG—Causality Reversal!
Zhuge Lan was extremely curious. What exactly did it do?
But adhering to his "trust" in the system, he suppressed the urge.
He was still in a girl's room.
If nothing unexpected happened, something unexpected was bound to happen.
Better safe than sorry.
He mindlessly raised the year limit straight to 50,000 years. It would work against anyone below Soul Douluo, and the duration increased to 30 seconds as well.
-599,000 Emotional Value
That had only used up a quarter.
Spending money is a skill too.
Let's get another Soul Bone!
Spend 100,000 Emotional Value to unlock a left arm Soul Bone!
Increase Soul Bone Year Limit: 10 Emotional Value/year; "Star Descent Holy Left Arm Soul Bone": Increases vitality and comes with a Soul Bone Skill!; —Soul Bone Skill - Holy Light Blessing: Releases Holy Light to replenish vitality and randomly dispels one of the target's own statuses!; —The results at hundred-year quality are relatively poor. Upgrading to the ten-thousand-year level is recommended!;
It looked—
like there was nothing wrong with it?
Restore life, dispel statuses.
Perfectly standard.
But hadn't his previous abilities all looked ordinary while their actual effects were ridiculously explosive?
Since the system recommended raising its year limit, he directly upgraded it to 50,000 years.
-599,000 Emotional Value
He still had 1.3 million Emotional Value left.
He needed to keep some in reserve, so Zhuge Lan didn't unlock any more Soul Bones—he would first thoroughly figure out these two Soul Bone Skills.
He considered raising his Soul Ring Year Limits.
But how high should he raise them?
With Emotional Value on hand, he could completely stack them to a hundred thousand years.
But—
would a hundred-thousand-year first Soul Ring be too exaggerated?
Especially if it changed midway through.
System, how do I increase a Soul Ring's year limit after the fact?
Divine Power Infusion Soul Ring: 100 Emotional Value/year!
Huh?
Why was that ten times more expensive than his?
Wait!
System, is this version for increasing someone else's Soul Ring year limit?
Yes!
Holy shit!
As far as Zhuge Lan knew, increasing a Soul Ring's year limit after the fact was a benefit only available during divine trials.
In other words, it was the power of a God.
And now he could do it too?
100 Emotional Value per year was practically dirt cheap!
No, no, hold it in!
If that woman Bibi Dong finds out, she'll definitely make me choose between two options!
Even with a system, don't get cocky. Grow quietly first!
System, do you have an ability that can alter Soul Ring colors?
No Soul Bone Skills or soul skills. They take up my skill slots.
Spirit Domain - Simulation: 500,000 Emotional Value!;
Second Evolution of Domain: 5,000,000 Emotional Value; Distort space through spiritual fluctuations, using myself as the foundation to simulate various forms. When simulating high-level soul beasts, their aura will be released. When simulating Soul Rings, their colors may be altered freely, but they will have no offensive capability.; —Additional Ability - Spirit Detection: A powerful scouting and detection ability. Its detection range increases with strength!;
Wasn't this Huo Yuhao's soul skill?
It had been integrated into a domain ability, perfectly meeting Zhuge Lan's requirements, and it even came with Spirit Detection as a bonus.
Not bad, not bad.
Redeem it.
Spend 500,000 Emotional Value to obtain "Spirit Domain - Simulation"!
"Buzz—"
Zhuge Lan's mind opened up on its own.
Like the instinct to breathe,
his spiritual power was no longer confined to his spiritual world and spread out beyond his body.
It covered a radius of 32 meters, and a flood of information fed back to him.
Zhu Zhuqing's 89D,
Ning Rongrong's 66B,
Tang San next door was "massaging Xiao Wu's feet,"
and Zhao Wuji was bare-assed, twisting around to apply medicine to himself.
Well, well!
Now he truly was taking voyeurism to the very end.
With the Soul Ring colors resolved, he could finally go all out.
Other than the Million Year Soul Ring,
he raised the other five soul skills to 10,000 years.
It cost a total of 400,000 Emotional Value.
Most only received boosts to their ratios and durations.
The core effects of the soul skills did not change much.
Only—
Increase Soul Ring Year Limit: 10 Emotional Value/year; "Abomination Curse": After activating the soul skill, if attacked, the attacker undergoes a curse check for 1 minute!; —Will definitely suffer a harmless negative status!; —Will most likely suffer a minor negative status!; —May suffer a moderate negative status!; Slogan: Want to hit me? First throw away half your life!;
A new status tier had appeared!
System, list the moderate negative statuses.
Cancer Pain, Kidney Stones, Shingles, Dystocia Childbirth, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Central Neuropathic Pain, Cancer Neuropathic Pain.
"Hiss—"
Zhuge Lan sucked in a sharp breath!
He made enough noise
that even the alert Zhu Zhuqing's ears twitched.
Maintaining Spirit Detection, Zhuge Lan immediately noticed it.
He promptly adjusted his breathing.
But inside, stormy waves surged!
Good lord!
Every single one of those moderate negative statuses was more perverse than the last!
Not to mention anything else.
Trigeminal Neuralgia was known as the greatest pain in the world!
Its explosive attacks brought knife-like, electric shock-like, and needle-prick-like pain, driving people mad with agony. They would ram their heads into things until they were bloodied, yet still not stop.
The others that could stand alongside it—
Tsk!
Old Zhao's diarrhea really does count as a minor negative status next to these.
Once again, a moment of silence for my future opponents.
