Siege of Golden Sand Island (V)
Normal gamers generally have two paths. One is to focus on their own basic abilities and continuously develop and improve them. Those who follow this path are usually the Implant Path, precisely because they are the ones who can most easily acquire the power of basic abilities in the early stages.
The foreign objects Implantation into their bodies are like lambs to the slaughter. As time goes by, Implant Path players can absorb all the abilities of the foreign objects and fully master them. At that point, their strength will stagnate, and they will have to make a choice: whether to completely transform into the foreign object or to take another path. Therefore, the potential of Implant Path players is the lowest.
As for the Alienation Path, since the Mutation organs are not easy to control, most of them rely on module skills in the early stages. Therefore, many of them go down the path of skill resonance and eventually become Breaker. This is a mainstream path, and the power of Breaker is widely recognized.
Finally, regarding the Inner Demon Path, due to early-stage inner demon control issues, some chose to cultivate their inner demons, while others opted for the skill resonance path. However, upon reaching the end, they also faced a choice: whether to absorb the inner demon or abandon their physical body and possess the inner demon.
Players who follow the skill bar resonance path will generally absorb their inner demons, while some who do not follow the skill bar resonance path will Avatar into monsters and ascend towards some indescribable great beings in their monstrous form.
Of course, the most mainstream path in this game is the skill bar resonance path, and very few people Avatar into monsters. Therefore, most Implant Path retain a half-human, half-monster state and turn to skill bar resonance. A small number of them go all the way down this path and completely transform into monsters. Moreover, these monsters are not as compatible and have as much potential as the Inner Demon Path.
The Alienation Path mostly uses their Mutation organs as tools. In fact, most Alienation Path will eventually separate those organs and grow a normal organ, using the Mutation organs as tools to better break through limitations, because their skills and Mutation abilities may not be perfectly compatible.
A very small number of those who rebel against their possessed Inner Demon Path demons require a long and transformative journey. Most of them become stronger by feeding their inner demons back to themselves, thus comprehensively enhancing themselves. Of course, there is also the Inner Demon Path demon player who has been devoured by an inner demon. These individuals know many secrets. They generally do not participate in missions with normal players, but there is definitely a certain number of them.
Although Lu Li is Alienation Path, due to various forces, he was different from normal players from the beginning. Therefore, he took the Alienation Path Mutation are almost no one else to choose, becoming a monster. He still hasn't unlocked his fifth skill slot, but his strength is enough to compete with veteran players.
Originally, Lu Li's fifth skill slot should have been unlocked after the second phase of the Fairy Tale Town dungeon. However, it's possible that some great being intervened, and that skill slot was canceled as a price to pay. As a result, Lu Li only received 1000 Game Points and Gift of the Nature Spirit as a reward for that phase of the quest.
So far, Lu Li only has four skill slots, with each skill averaging only eight or nine modules. He can't compare to veteran players at all. And because this is his first real battle against a veteran player, he has witnessed their true strength.
Despite having only five skill slots, more than ten skills were combined through high resonance adjustments, all of which countered Lu Li's Lu Li attribute. Lu Li stood in a white, misty space, the surrounding temperature beginning to bake cracks in his Lu Li into a porcelain doll.
"This is really bad." Lu Li dodged an invisible attack that seemed to come from nowhere with a flash. Holding the umbrella in both hands, the patterns and runes on the umbrella began to activate. The next moment, the surging Shadow Magic Cannon was fired. All the light that shone on the magic cannon was swallowed by darkness. In this pure white environment, the magic cannon was like a black light.
The black light struck the transparent barrier of the enchantment, creating a hole the size of an umbrella. Countless white rays of light shot out from the hole, and combined with the heat and pressure inside, the entire barrier exploded.
Watching from a distance, Nangong Liuli only saw that the seven-colored barrier first broke open at the top, then countless white lights shot out from the opening, and then many cracks appeared on the seven-colored barrier.
Sensing something was wrong, the Mountain Duke Cliff Granny grabbed Nangong Liuli and used their lightness skill to jump into the sea. The next moment, countless white lights filled everything, but they quickly faded away. The terrifying high temperature burned the sand on the ground into glass, and even a lot of the seawater was evaporated.
Lu Li held an umbrella, his skin peeling away like broken tiles, while Qi Ye, shrouded in a transparent barrier in the distance, revealed his figure, still faintly reflecting light.
When Qi Ye saw Lu Li's skin peel off, revealing his pitch-black inner self, the positive energy around him had not completely dissipated, and the shadows exposed to the positive energy began to emit black smoke.
He didn't show any unusual expression when the Shadowless Barrier Annihilation. Instead, he stopped attacking and said softly, "Aren't you going to summon your true form? You should know that if you continue fighting like this, without enough shadow, you'll be completely countered by me."
"What you have here is nothing more than a projection of light." Lu Li frowned, looking at his body. The next moment, the fragments and dust that had fallen from the air were attracted to him. After a few flashes of black flame, Lu Li's skin temporarily returned to normal, and all the cracks disappeared.
The moment Lu Li saw the other person again, he noticed that the other person was a light projection similar to a mirage, but filled with a large amount of light, Aggregation together by a peculiar magnetic force to form a clone. That's why he said things like, "You actually brought Nangong Liuli here."
"In that case, I have no choice but to destroy this clone of yours first, to dampen the arrogance of your Black Heaven Hall." Qi Ye said with a smile. Three years ago, he captured some light information projected from the Dream Interstice and witnessed Lu Li's true form.
He understood the terrifying nature of his opponent: that enormous shadow body, the unimaginable accumulation of Shadow Magic. In his previous dungeons, this terrifying monster was more than capable of serving as the final boss. If it were any other attribute, Qi Ye might have wisely given up the fight and surrendered. But since his opponent was of the shadow attribute, Qi Ye had to give it a try.
A ray of light flashed in Qi Ye's hand, shooting directly towards Lu Li's head. Lu Li ducked and saw white flames erupting from the rock behind him where he had been struck. Qi Ye smiled and said, "This light was specially tuned for you. Its primary target for burning is shadows. In other words, your shadow will burn like gasoline under this light."
My afternoon nap alarm didn't go off, so I overslept and am a little late with my update. I'm really sorry.
