Spending Money, Feels Great! Wind Element Advancement! Flight Skill!

When Lin Yi had obtained the Gift of the Gods talent earlier, he had noticed one of its notes.

As his experience or strength increased, more functions would be unlocked.

So getting richer counted as an increase in strength too?

No matter what, this new function made Lin Yi's eyes light up!

After experiencing the thrill of instantly killing monsters and leveling up with high-tier skills, every second Lin Yi spent waiting for Skill Points to be issued had been a little agonizing.

Now, this function was exactly what he needed!

Spending money to buy Skill Points was now equivalent to spending money to buy time!

As everyone knew, his time was extremely valuable!

Spending money felt great!

It seemed he would have to put making money on his schedule from now on.

Without hesitation, Lin Yi planned to spend all this money, leaving at most a little change behind.

After all, he had earned this money by chance. As his strength continued to rise,

earning another hundred thousand or so would only become easier and easier.

Lin Yi opened the talent interface and chose to spend money to purchase idle rewards!

[Do you wish to spend 10,000 Great Xia Coins to purchase 24 hours of Skill Point gains?]

Lin Yi chose yes without the slightest hesitation!

[Ding! You have received 24 hours of idle rewards from the talent Gift of the Gods: 86,400 Skill Points!]

At the same time, the phone in Lin Yi's pocket vibrated.

It notified him that 10,000 Great Xia Coins had been deducted from his card.

Again!

[Ding! You have received 24 hours of idle rewards from the talent Gift of the Gods: 86,400 Skill Points!]

[Ding! You have received 24 hours of idle rewards from the talent Gift of the Gods: 86,400 Skill Points!]

[Ding! You have received 24 hours of idle rewards from the talent Gift of the Gods: 86,400 Skill Points!]

Lin Yi had no idea how many times he tapped it.

He only stopped when the system informed him that his balance was insufficient.

Like many trashy idle mobile games, the option to spend resources on idle rewards kept increasing in price.

The first time had cost 10,000 Great Xia Coins.

The second time cost 15,000.

The prices rose even more fiercely afterward.

Lin Yi checked the records. On his final purchase,

he had directly spent more than 40,000 Great Xia Coins!

Hiss...

Lin Yi had not felt any pain before.

He had thought it was worth it if it could speed up the process of advancing his skills.

But when he actually saw his six-figure bank balance turn into three figures at light speed,

he still felt as though his heart were being torn apart.

It was all back, all of it—the familiar life of a broke loser.

Lin Yi could only Turned To open his personal panel.

Fortunately, the Skill Point balance gave him immense comfort!

[Currently Available Skill Points: 425,821!]

He had more than four hundred thousand in the balance again!

Lin Yi opened his skill page once more.

Advancing the Tier 7 Heavenly Flame Dragon's Breath to Tier 8 required 500,000 Skill Points, which was clearly beyond his current amount.

Moreover, Lin Yi felt that the Tier 7 Heavenly Flame Dragon's Breath was already sufficient for now. These Skill Points should be spent where they mattered most.

Lin Yi opened Wind Blade, the Wind Element Skill he had just learned yesterday.

On the point allocation interface, he began that all-too-familiar operation again.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap!

Then a string of ding, ding, ding notifications rang out in his mind.

[You have spent 500 Skill Points. Your Wind Blade Technique has advanced. You have obtained a new spell: Cracked Wind Slash!]

[You have spent 2,000 Skill Points. Your Cracked Wind Slash has advanced. You have obtained a new spell: Gale Nine Consecutive Blades!]

[You have spent 5,000 Skill Points. Your Gale Nine Consecutive Blades has advanced. You have obtained a new spell: Storm Cyclone!]

[You have spent 10,000 Skill Points. Your Storm Cyclone has advanced. You have obtained a new spell: Wings of Gale!]

[You have spent 50,000 Skill Points. Your Wings of Gale has advanced. You have obtained a new spell: Swift Wind Flash!]

[You have spent 100,000 Skill Points. Your Swift Wind Flash has advanced. You have obtained a new spell: Raging Waves Thousand Gales Breaker!]

In less than half a day,

Lin Yi's Wind Element Skill set had expanded from one skill to seven.

And after looking through all those skills in sequence,

Lin Yi immediately felt that the characteristics of Wind Magic were quite distinct.

If the fire element was simply about high damage,

then the wind element combined speed, multi-hit attacks, a small amount of control, and some support capabilities.

The most obvious traits were speed and multi-hit attacks.

The Tier 3 fire spell was called Triple Flame Spear.

It summoned three spears condensed from flames from the sky, piercing and burning enemies.

Among the fire spells Lin Yi currently possessed, its number of damage instances was already considered high, reaching three hits.

Meanwhile, the Tier 7 Spell Heavenly Flame Dragon's Breath actually only had the one burst of high damage from the dragon breath's descent, followed by sustained Burn Damage.

But the Tier 3 wind spell, Gale Nine Consecutive Slashes, fired nine extremely fast Wind Blades within 0.5 seconds.

As for the Tier 7 Raging Waves Thousand Gales Breaker, it could inflict over a thousand attacks per second on targets within its area of effect.

However, what surprised Lin Yi most were the two new skills at Tier 5 and Tier 6.

[Wings of Gale]

[Type: Active Skill]

[Tier: Tier 5]

[Element: Wind]

[Cost: 500 Mana/second]

[Chant Time: 1.5 seconds]

[Cooldown Time: 5 minutes]

[Effect: Gather the power of wind elements around your entire body, preventing others from seeing your true appearance.]

[The wind elements will also form a pair of Wings of Wind, granting you the ability to fly at high speed.]

[At the same time, the Wind Orbs surrounding you will block 3 ranged attacks for you.]

[Note: The attacks blocked by the Wind Orbs cannot exceed Tier 4 in strength. After all 3 blocks have been used, the flight ability disappears.]

[Remark: Gather, raging winds, and bear me into the clouds!]

A flight skill!!

The flight skill Lin Yi had been yearning for!

As a human being, who did not dream of flying into the sky?

He had never expected Wind Magic to truly have a spell that allowed mages to fly through the skies without relying on flying mounts.

Still, the Tier 5 threshold was quite high.

But it already felt incredible.

For other classes, he had heard that they needed to reach at least the Sixth Turn before their class skills would provide flight abilities.

As for the other effect attached to this skill,

Lin Yi found it very familiar as well.

Blocking ranged attacks.

Wasn't this Yasuo's Wind Wall?

Face the gale!

The Tier 6 skill, Swift Wind Flash, had even more of a swordsman's flavor.

[Swift Wind Flash]

[Type: Active Skill]

[Tier: Tier 6]

[Element: Wind]

[Cost: 15,000 Mana]

[Chant Time: Instant]

[Cooldown Time: 1 hour]

[Requires a melee weapon]

[Effect: Use violent wind elements to enhance your own speed and the Attack Speed of your melee weapon to the limit, then unleash one extremely fast dashing attack in a chosen direction.]

[During the dash, your Dodge Chance increases by 100%.]

[After the dash ends, deal 99 instances of melee weapon attack damage to all targets along the dash path. Each instance of damage additionally inflicts 1 instance of wind-element cutting damage.]

[Maximum dash distance: 10 meters]

[Maximum dash speed: 10 times the speed of sound]

[Remark: Watch closely. This strike will be very cool!]
