Chapter 1117 - You Pay to Win, I Cheat, We All Have a Bright Future (2/2)
If this continues, my Mechanical Deity will be cut apart piece by piece. Manison has the advantage now, and if I were to allow him to attack so unscrupulously, it will greatly consume my machinery. I have to stop being forced into this passive state…
The large number of Universal Treasures had greatly enhanced Manison’s combat power.
His own foundations were not solid enough. If he wished to bridge this gap, he could only do his best to improve his attributes, especially Intellect, which would directly affect his Mechanic class’s abilities.
Opening the interface, Han Xiao saw that he had accumulated quite the bit of experience over this past month or so while the three Universal Civilizations were preparing for this operation. He originally wished to hoard it until he could promote, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. The experience urgently needed to be turned into combat prowess.
Han Xiao did not hesitate, taking out most of his experience and using it to upgrade his blueprints on a large scale in exchange for more Awakening Points.
His current accumulated experience was not enough to gain a hundred Awakening Points, which did not meet the conditions of obtaining a Unique Talent. However, Han Xiao’s purpose this time was not to generate Unique Talents but to replace his Awakening Points with Free Attribute Points in order to pump them into his Intellect. In that instant, his Intellect attribute rose by almost 8,000 points!
He had also accumulated more than 4,000 Free Attribute Points, and after placing 1,000 into his Endurance, allowing it to break through the 15,000 point threshold, he placed the remaining 2,000 points into Intellect.
Adding both together, his own Intellect attribute skyrocketed by more than 10,000 points in total, breaking through the 30,000 threshold and approaching 40,000!
This was his fastest increase in history!
After completing this delightful step, Han Xiao did not hesitate to start activating his Character Summon Cards.
[Mechanic Emperor Character Summon Card The Ancient Ones)!
Effect: +20% INT, +10% MYS, +2 to all Skill levels, last for 24 hours.
(Nero Character Summon Card-Perfect Mechanical Sense)!
Effect: x1.4 Machinery Affinity, Grade of Mechanic equipment that receive Mechanical Force bonuses are temporarily increased by 1 – 2 tiers (highest quality will not exceed Pink Grade), +4 to all Mechanic Skills.
However, Han Xiao did not stop here. He activated (Polar Channel Flow-Blood Rage), and his HP value plummeted.
At the same time, the additional effect of (Advanced Strengthened Life] came into play. For every forty percent of his HP lost, his attributes all temporarily increased by ten percent!
Since Manison will not hit me, I’ll hit myself!
He also had talents such as [One Against the World), which gave him an eleven percent bonus to all attributes, and [Battlefield Wisdom), which gave him a fifteen percent bonus to Intellect… Han Xiao took out everything he had.
Old Man Manison has a solid foundation?
What’s scary about that?
If you know how to P2W, then I can just cheat!
We’re evenly matched in this regard!
This wave of bonuses came into play in an instant, and a powerful force surged throughout his body. The energy fluctuations Han Xiao was releasing suddenly skyrocketed.
Manison keenly noticed the change in Han Xiao and was shocked.
“You…”
Before he could finish speaking, Han Xiao turned his defense into offense, knocking the trident aside with an elbow and slashing the Celestial Punishment Edge down diagonally.
A highly compressed psionic energy enveloped the blade, drawing a blue trajectory line.
Swoosh!
The power behind this slash exceeded the upper limit of which the blue protective shield could handle and broke through the defense.
The blade suppressed the trident before embedding itself deep within Manison’s battle armor.
The next moment, the psionic energy wrapped around the blade caused a violent explosion! Manison’s offensive was interrupted, and a huge portion of the Mechanical Deity’s body was slashed away. A huge wound was left in the chest of his battle armor, left by the eruption of the psionic energy. A large portion of his outer armor was torn and corroded.
This was the first time Manison had been repelled since the fight began.
The one-sided battle was instantly turned around by Han Xiao!
“Eat a few more of my blades!”
Han Xiao pressed the advantage, slashing out in rapid succession to seize the battle rhythm.
The combat capability of Han Xiao’s Mechanical Deity was enhanced in every respect, and the gap in their combat capability was shortened. Han Xiao was no longer suppressed.
His increase in Mechanical strength was reflected in his surrounding mechanical soldiers. The Black Star troops experienced an increase in their combat power, successfully breaking through the blockade of the Mechanic Emperor’s troops, approaching Han Xiao to repair the damage to his Mechanical Deity. Manison finally stabilized himself, and while waving his trident to counter Han Xiao’s attacks, he spoke on the wide area channel with astonishment.
“You burned your potential again?”
“Think what you want. How’s that blade taste?” Han Xiao laughed. “… You’re ruining your talent!” Manison’s tone turned cold.
He originally only wished to teach Han Xiao a lesson but did not expect him to burn his own potential in retaliation.
To consume his future potential to fight a battle with their avatars was a foolish act from Manison’s point of view. Even if this battle involved factors such as prestige or speaking rights, it would still be a loss-making business.
He was puzzled by this. Maybe their ideals were different, but he did not think that Black Star was such an impulsive person.
He had no way of knowing Han Xiao’s thoughts. Since he was willing to waste his potential, Manison was also happy since they were all competitors.
However, while he sneered at Han Xiao’s approach, he had to admit that the combat power Han Xiao displayed in his mode was extremely strong, which allowed him to immediately recover from his disadvantage.
If he did not go all-out, he would definitely suffer!
Moreover, Manison felt that the increase in Han Xiao’s combat power this time was higher than the first. This discovery surprised him.
What is this? Can burning your potential even be trained?
Also, since when was Polar Channel Flow so strong? How did I not know about this?
What is behind of Black Star’s explosive ability? How is the effect so good and yet unknown?
Feeling the surge in Han Xiao’s aura, Manison was both surprised and suspicious.
