Chapter 154
Holy crap... what kind of "Chosen One" template is this?
"Call..."
Shen Xing took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.
In any case, this is a good thing for him.
"The Frostbone Executioner, that name sounds pretty cool."
"Let me see what attributes these new skills you've activated have."
With a hint of anticipation, Shen Xing opened Black Arrow's skill panel.
[Ice Energy Control (Passive)]
[Skill Description: Born from death, Black Arrow, at the moment of death, infuses his body with extreme cold, gaining complete Control over it.]
[Skill Effect: All attacks have both ice and dark attributes, and have a certain probability of freezing the enemy and applying 1 stack of 'Chill' effect, reducing the enemy's speed by 10% and extending the skill duration by 10%, stacking up to 5 times.]
At the same time, they can manipulate ice energy to condense ice armor for themselves, reducing physical damage taken by 30% and magical damage taken by 20%.
When the Frost Armor is shattered, it releases a ring of frost shockwaves, freezing all nearby enemies for 1 second.
(Note: This skill has growth potential. As the unit's strength increases, the Control over ice energy will gradually improve, leading to more powerful ways of using it.)
[Ice Explosion Arrow]
[Skill Effect: Condenses extreme cold power to fire an Arrows containing extreme icy energy, which explodes instantly upon contact with the target.]
Deals high ice blast damage to enemies within a 20-meter radius and has an 80% or higher chance of freezing them for 1-3 seconds.
The explosion will create a frozen zone, slowing all enemies who step into it by 20% for 30 seconds.
Cooldown time: 65 seconds
(Note: Wherever the arrow points, that is my territory!)
"This first skill... seems similar to Xiao Hei's awakened Death Energy Mastery."
"However, Xiao Hei is more versatile; it can heal, attack, and even corrode enemy armor."
"Black Arrow's icy energy is geared towards control and defense."
Shen Xing analyzed, "The second skill is even more practical. As a wide-range area-of-effect attack skill, it also comes with crowd control capabilities, making it an absolute weapon on the battlefield!"
Then, he continued to examine the new talents activated by Black Arrow.
[Frost Yin Qi (Exclusive Talent)]
[Talent Effect: Emits an invisible Frost Yin Qi, slowing enemies within a 15-meter radius by 20% and increasing the armor of friendly units by 20%.]
It can unleash a large-scale release of Frost Yin Qi, reducing the movement speed of all enemy units within a 300-meter radius by 35% to 55%.
One stack of the 'Chill' effect is applied every 2 seconds. After 5 stacks, it explodes, causing area-of-effect ice explosion damage and freezing the target for 1-2 seconds.
All friendly units within range have their attacks converted to ice attribute, their attack power increased by 15%, and there is a certain probability of freezing enemies.
Lasts 25 seconds, cooldown 12 hours.
(Note: I came, I saw, I froze everything.)
"This talent is amazing. Not only does it have a permanent, small-area slowing aura, but it can also unleash a burst of power at crucial moments, creating a massive area of effect."
"Its strength is even comparable to Xiao Hei's [Evil Moon Force Field]!"
Shen Xing pondered that the talents of these two generals seemed to be able to complement each other.
Black Arrow's [Frost Yin Qi] can reduce enemy speed and increase friendly attack power.
Xiao Hei's [Evil Moon Power] reduces all enemy attributes and increases the movement speed of allies.
In addition, there's the speed boost from [Drum of Invigoration].
With the triple effect, enemies within a radius of several hundred meters will find it impossible to move an inch, while his troops will all be like they've been injected with chicken blood, their combat power soaring!
"Excellent, excellent! I am very pleased to have such a great general."
"This gives us another trump card that can influence the course of the battle."
Shen Xing thought with satisfaction.
At the same time, the Metamorphosis Black Arrow stood up from the water and slowly walked towards Shen Xing.
At this moment, its entire body has undergone tremendous changes.
Taller, more imposing, and colder.
Each time it takes a step, an ice flower automatically freezes on the ground.
Wherever it passed, the temperature plummeted and snow began to fall.
Even the soul fire in its pupils changed from a ghastly green to an icy blue.
"Owner..."
Black Arrow knelt on one knee, his jaw slowly opening and closing, emitting a low, muffled sound.
"Huh? You can talk now?"
Shen Xing looked astonished, as if he had just witnessed his pet suddenly gain intelligence.
"I can only... simply... say... something..."
Black Arrow spoke haltingly, sometimes pausing.
Shen Xing nodded, understanding its meaning.
Although Black Arrow has gained intelligence, he is still unable to communicate fluently.
After all, skeletons are not like flesh-and-blood soldiers; they have very low intelligence.
A talking skeleton is probably one in a million.
But that's already pretty good. When Black Arrow evolves again in the future, it will have higher intelligence and be able to communicate fluently.
"Alright."
Shen Xing looked at the skeleton before him and ordered, "Now that you have successfully broken through, continue leading the other archers to conquer that lava cave."
Chapter 119: Far Ahead, the Portal Evolves!
Black Arrow has now been promoted to a hidden class: Frostbone Executioner, and his attacks have been converted to ice attributes.
Ice, on the other hand, provides a damage bonus against fire-attribute hellish creatures.
"Yes... Master..."
Black Arrow slowly stood up and followed behind him with heavy steps.
Shen Xing pushed his wheelchair and was the first to step out of the volcanic hot spring and into the open space outside.
Then, he took out a specially made wine glass with a megaphone and shouted, "Everyone assemble!"
In an instant, the entire territory sprang into action once again.
In less than five minutes, all four hundred-plus combat units had assembled.
Hellscream and Da Hou, two orc generals, led 120 orcs at the very front of the column.
Black Arrow, clad in icy blue armor and possessing a towering physique, led 110 skeleton archers at the rear.
Gorehowl and Xiao Hei each led 60 wolf riders and 14 Black Moon Knight, guarding the flanks of the group.
Leina continued to lead the Dretch in defending the base.
After everything was arranged, Shen Xing waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
The lantern was lit, and its orange glow illuminated the thick fog.
Nearly three hundred people immediately sprang into action, marching into the torrential rain in a grand procession.
Half an hour later.
They arrived at the familiar underground lava cave.
After a night, the Hell Portal once again sent out a large number of monsters.
Shen Xing's troops also experienced a significant upgrade.
"For the lord's glory, kill!"
The orc legion, wielding iron axes, charged towards the hellish legion with overwhelming force.
The two sides made contact instantly.
In a single encounter, they cut down a large number of hellish imps and hellhounds.
With over a hundred skeleton archers drawing their bows in unison, black Arrows mixed with frost-blue Arrows rained down on the monster horde.
In an instant, hellish creatures fell in droves.
On the leaderboard, Shen Xing's points are also starting to increase at an astonishing rate.
At this moment, on that artificial island overseas.
The surrounding sea surged with raging waves, and torrential rain poured down as if the sky had been torn open, cascading onto the sea without restraint.
The previous sunny weather was gone; the entire island seemed to have become an isolated island in a storm.
Even the handsome men and beautiful women who were sunbathing had to return to the lobby to hide.
"Pride! Shen Xing's points are rising again," the wheat-skinned woman said with concern. "And he's already surpassed Dolores, and the gap between them is rapidly narrowing."
The blue-haired man Lachlan, gave her a cold look. "I have eyes; I don't need you to remind me."
The woman with wheat-colored skin froze, unsure how to respond.
"Don't worry, he has no chance of winning first place."
Lachlan smirked coldly. "Perhaps in a little while, you'll see Shen Xing's name disappear from the rankings forever."
The wheat-skinned woman's pupils contracted slightly, as if she had realized something. "Could it be... that you had Master Rank expert from your family take action?"
"Since that incident twenty years ago, the countries have signed a joint pact stipulating that Master Rank experts cannot attack their subordinate leaders."
"Aren't you afraid of violating international conventions and provoking retaliation from the Heavenly Star Nation?"
"Heh... what's there to be afraid of?" Lachlan scoffed. "This Master Rank is a unit our family has been secretly training recently; it has never appeared in public before."
"What can those guys from Heavenly Star Nation do if we just deny everything?"
He leaned back leisurely on the sofa, his two fingers interlaced in front of his chest, appearing very calm.
