The Third-Round Ability Pool

The rising sun cast shadows on the figures, and a gentle morning breeze, carrying a touch of coolness, distorted the shadows on the dark blue corrugated steel shed.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Lu Bai ended his call with Xu Qiang, put down his phone, and summoned Long Fang.

He gave a harmless smile and said softly, "Please, everyone."

Upon hearing this, the three deathmatchers wearing large gold rings present tensed up and silently prepared to make their move.

To be honest, the three of them didn't want to face Lu Bai so soon.

The third round of Ability Pool selection is just around the corner.

For a group of three like this, having an extra round of ability selection means they can have three more abilities, which is definitely a safer option than acting now.

So they had all planned to continue lying low, but who knew that Lu Bai would come knocking on their door.

The man with the ring on his thumb asked in a deep voice, "How did you find us?"

"It's just that when you were hiding here last night, a little girl happened to discover your presence. By the way, you don't need to seek revenge on her; I've already taken care of her for you."

After saying that, Lu Bai dusted off non-existent dust from his body and walked leisurely toward the three of them.

Even though he did nothing while approaching, he still forced the three fighters to instinctively retreat.

"Alright, stop struggling. Refusing to carry out a death sentence will be recorded in your credit history." Lu Bai grinned, showing off his Long Fang.

"Smiling Face! You're being a bit too arrogant."

The man with the ring on his thumb had several changes of expression, finally letting out a cold snort and rapidly forming hand seals.

The next second, translucent feathers appeared out of thin air and slowly drifted down under his control.

To be honest, this scene looked beautiful.

Unfortunately, Lu Bai had no intention of appreciating such a beautiful view. After all, it was Gold level ability, and there were still uncertainties involved, so there was no need to take the risk.

Soon, a large amount of darkness spread out, surging and sweeping across the land like a tidal wave.

It was as if a gaping hole leading to an abyss had suddenly opened up in this space.

In an instant, there was no color left in the surroundings except for darkness.

The Long Fang that Lu Bai had raised in his hand fell, and the distance that had previously existed was crossed by [Flash Time].

The translucent feathers vanished silently, unseen by the remaining two fighters.

"Big brother!"

"What is that?! Everyone be careful!"

Two exclamations came from the darkness in quick succession.

In fact, all three fighters had pretty good mental fortitude, and they remained quite calm when faced with such a sudden turn of events.

It's just not very useful.

An exaggeratedly long Nodachi a type of katana) sliced through the darkness.

After the heavy object landed, the dark space fell silent, exuding an indescribable atmosphere of solemnity.

[Bite!]

[Points +6, Current Points: 108, Current Rank: 1/51]

Lu Bai waved his hand to dispel the blackness and looked at the ranking data on the panel with great interest.

He hadn't paid much attention before, but the system notification made him realize that the elimination rate of the deathmatchers was somewhat abnormal.

Aside from the deathmatches he eliminated during this period, nearly ten other deathmatches were still eliminated in just one hour.

Without weapons of mass destruction, the death row fighters remained scattered throughout the old town.

Finding them one by one is difficult enough, let alone eliminating so many.

It's definitely not something one person can do; even five or six people probably couldn't do it without the right skills.

He stroked his chin and slowly walked back into the alleyway. "Could it be that another group with an exaggerated number of people, like the Survey Corps, has appeared?"

He wandered through the alleyways, and after a few minutes, a series of familiar mechanical prompts rang in his mind.

[Bite!]

The current elimination rate for deathmatchers has reached 90%.

[Note! The third Ability Pool is now open and you can select one.]

Lu Bai stopped and turned to enter the empty room on the left.

He found the bathroom, went in and washed his hands with soap, then opened the ability selection interface.

[Five Immortals Sealing (Colorful): Select a target as an anchor point. When the target believes you should possess such power, you will substantially possess that power. Conversely, when the target believes you are weak, you will be correspondingly weakened. Whether you are strengthened or weakened depends entirely on the target's imagination. Please note that there is a one-hour cooldown period for changing targets.]

[Little Magic Fairy Full Body Transformation (Color): Recite the incantation to transform into a Little Fairy using Balala Energy. You can unleash magical impacts with kinetic energy exceeding 600 joules from thin air and master numerous small spells such as conjuring milk tea. Please note that the transformation lasts for 22 seconds and cannot be interrupted in any way.]

[Purple Firmament Divine Thunder (Colorful): This is divine punishment, harmless to the innocent, and even more effective against ghosts, demons, and evil spirits. After selecting a target and guiding it for a certain period of time, a thunderbolt capable of annihilating immortals and killing gods will be summoned from the heavens. Please note that this Lightning Law consumes a great deal of energy from the user; please use it with caution.]

Lu Bai almost couldn't resist choosing [Purple Firmament Divine Thunder] directly, after all, the name of this ability sounded cool enough.

I forced myself to hold back and carefully read through the descriptions of these three abilities.

It must be admitted that the color-level performance is quite good in terms of both ability and strength.

Even a colorful ability like [Little Magic Fairy Full Body Transformation] is powerful enough.

Of course, the intensity wasn't in the magical impact with its kinetic energy of 600 joules, since any random pistol would have a similar value.

This ability is strong because it prevents interruption in any way when following the instructions; the implications of such a mandatory rule are self-evident.

It's very useful, but it's too embarrassing to use, so I'll rule it out for now.

As for the remaining [Five Immortals Sealing] and [Purple Firmament Divine Thunder]...

There's no doubt how domineering the latter is, but Lu Bai feels that he's not very compatible with him.

The reason is simple: this ability is clearly single-target damage, and the cost will definitely be high.

But he doesn't lack single-target killing methods.

Using [Purple Firmament Divine Thunder] against a deathmatch fighter is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito—that's giving the mosquito too much credit.

It's not that it's bad, but it's not very useful in a modern Deathmatch Arena.

Whether he drives up in [Flash Time] and stabs someone, or spends a lot of time summoning a bolt of lightning to kill someone, in terms of the result, there is no essential difference.

However, the ability [Five Immortals Sealing] has too wide an upper and lower limit, making it extremely unpredictable.

Do you want to continue being a gambler?

Lu Bai subjectively prefers [Five Immortals Sealing], since this ability can, in a sense, have some synergistic effect with [Ink Dye].

He didn't hesitate for long and finally chose [the Five Immortals Sealing].

He was somewhat curious to see just how much this ability would enhance him.

Anyway, you can change the target of the summoning. If the enhancement effect is not ideal, you can just wait another hour to switch targets.
