Chapter 45

Xiao Fan let out a sigh of relief.

"So he didn't want to use his skills. Damn! Does he even know that the person talking to him right now is the only Player in the game to possess a God-Tier Skill? Would I even bother stealing skills below the God-Tier?"

Beep, beep. A notification sound rang out.

It was Ye Bugu sending over his attribute stats and traits.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Fan discovered that unlike other Players in the game, Ye Bugu didn't have a "useless hexagon" stat distribution.

Strength: 80

Intelligence: 35

Spirit: 59

Agility: 81

Constitution: 40

Overall, these stats leaned heavily toward Strength and Agility, which was a very solid build.

"It seems that for Ye Bugu to have made it this far starting as a Yellow-Tier Skill Chain player, he really has something going for him. At the very least, he has his own ideas when it comes to stat allocation."

Xiao Fan then looked at his traits.

Traits had a chance to refresh every five levels, but sometimes duplicates appeared. At level 60, Ye Bugu had a total of 7 traits.

Parents Sacrificed to Heaven, Tenacity, Sister Sacrificed to Heaven, Stealth, Messenger of the Night, Avenger, and Shadow Follows Form.

Xiao Fan had always believed that mocking someone else's suffering was an extremely low-class behavior, unless he really couldn't help it!

"Parents Sacrificed to Heaven, Sister Sacrificed to Heaven."

Seeing these two, he nearly spat out his water.

Xiao Fan once again gained a new understanding of what these traits were.

"What kind of hellish traits are these!"

To keep from laughing, Xiao Fan thought through every sad thing that had happened to him since he was a child, until he remembered that the original owner of this body had also lost both parents...

Not laughing anymore.

Excluding those two traits, creating a skill from the other five wouldn't be difficult.

After a moment of thought, Xiao Fan set his sights on the final trait.

"Shadow Follows Form—this must be the new trait Ye Bugu unlocked at level 60. That's the one!"

Through his three previous skill creations, Xiao Fan had discovered that the higher the skill tier, the higher the attribute requirements.

Just to be safe, Xiao Fan sent another message to Ye Bugu.

"I've already thought of the skill. To ensure a high success rate, I need you to raise your Spirit to 80, and your Intelligence and Constitution to 50."

Inside the tent, Ye Bugu's expression turned ugly.

How long had it been since he sent over his stats and traits? And the guy on the other end had already thought of a Heaven-Tier Skill? Was this person treating him like a fool?

Those who possessed Heaven-Tier Skills had all spent years racking their brains, followed by countless experiments conducted by numerous people, before finally succeeding in creating one.

And him? He had come up with a Heaven-Tier Skill in just a few minutes?

If this could actually succeed, then what did all his previous efforts amount to?

Ye Bugu suppressed the urge to block him and replied with two cold words.

"Fine."

Although he agreed, Ye Bugu had no intention of listening to Xiao Fan.

Core Power was far too precious. At the very least, until he saw the skill, he wouldn't waste his Core Power recklessly—not even on adding attribute points to himself.

Ye Bugu snorted coldly: "I'd like to see what kind of skill you've come up with."

Seeing that Ye Bugu had agreed, Xiao Fan edited the skill he had already conceived and sent it over.

Beep, beep. A notification sound rang out.

Ye Bugu couldn't wait to open the chat box and began to read it carefully.

As time ticked by, Ye Bugu's expression shifted from initial skepticism and disdain to one of increasing seriousness and focus.

By the end, he practically had his face buried in the chat box.

By the time he finished reading the last word, Ye Bugu was completely stunned.

After a long while, he took a deep breath, his eyes finally pulling away from the chat box.

Shock! Absolute shock!

This is a skill?

Skills can be created like this?

If this is a skill, then what was all that garbage he had been using before?

Just looking at the skill Xiao Fan sent him, Ye Bugu could already imagine how powerful it was.

He didn't even dare to imagine how happy a little Player he would be once he possessed such a skill.

At this moment, Ye Bugu made up his mind; even if there was a chance of failure in creating the skill, he had to try.

He was just too tempted by this skill!

Ye Bugu didn't hesitate to buy and add the attribute points exactly as Xiao Fan had previously sent, and to be safe, he even bought a few extra.

After all, Core Power was earned to be spent.

Besides, this skill was worth it!

After buying the attribute points, Ye Bugu opened the skill creation interface and carefully copied the skill Xiao Fan sent him, word for word.

"Skill creation complete. Upon inspection, this skill has not appeared in the game before and requires system verification. There is a chance of failure; do you wish to proceed?"

"It really is a new skill." Ye Bugu's eyes turned red with excitement.

"Proceed!"

"Ding, congratulations to the Player, skill creation successful. Would you like to view it now?"

"View!" Ye Bugu's hands were trembling.

Skill Name: Phantom Shift

Skill Tier: Heaven-Tier

Skill Description: During combat, you can place three phantoms within a hundred-meter radius. The phantoms last for 60 seconds, during which your attacks will simultaneously strike enemy units near the phantoms. While the phantoms exist, you can instantly teleport to any phantom at any time. You are immune to all crowd control effects during this period, and you recover 20% of your maximum health upon the skill's conclusion.

Skill CD: 120 seconds

Creation Attributes: Strength 80(+) Agility 80(+) Constitution 60(+)

Creation Trait: Shadow-type

"It really succeeded! A Heaven-Tier Skill! It really is a Heaven-Tier Skill; I'm someone who owns a Heaven-Tier Skill now!"

Seeing the words "Heaven-Tier" under the skill level, Ye Bugu felt a surge of heat rush to his head, and his blood began to boil.

He stood up abruptly.

Happiness had arrived too suddenly!

Ye Bugu was at a loss, so excited he didn't know what to do.

That was a Heaven-Tier Skill! The Heaven-Tier Skill that everyone dreamed of.

"Congratulations to the Player for creating a Heaven-Tier Skill. A server-wide announcement will now be made. Do you wish to hide your ID?"

"Do not hide!"

Ye Bugu chose "no" without hesitation. He wanted those who had once hunted him down to see this message and spend the rest of their gaming careers trembling under the might of Ye Bugu!

He! Ye Bugu! A possessor of a Heaven-Tier Skill!

"System: Congratulations to Player Shadow for creating a Heaven-Tier Skill. This is hereby announced."

"System: Congratulations to Player Shadow for creating a Heaven-Tier Skill. This is hereby announced."

"System: Congratulations to Player Shadow for creating a Heaven-Tier Skill. This is hereby announced."

As soon as the system message appeared, several members of the Night Blade Mercenary Group burst into the tent, their faces full of excitement.

"Leader, did you create a Heaven-Tier Skill?"

Ye Bugu's hand, which had been raised in the air, froze. A second later, he stood with his hands behind his back.

"It's just a Heaven-Tier Skill, look at how ignorant you all are." Ye Bugu feigned composure.

"Just a Heaven-Tier Skill! Do you hear what you're saying!" The members of the Night Blade Mercenary Group stared at Ye Bugu in disbelief.

"Leader, you're too amazing, a Heaven-Tier Skill! You are now the third person in the entire Cloud Sea to create a Heaven-Tier Skill!" The members of the Night Blade Mercenary Group were all flushed with excitement.

Ye Bugu was the leader of the Night Blade Mercenary Group; didn't him owning a Heaven-Tier Skill mean their Night Blade Mercenary Group effectively owned one too?

Just thinking about it made their blood boil!
