Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Bloodthirsty Frenzy and Beast Crystal
The abilities of "Frenzy" and "Barbaric Dominator Body" are somewhat similar.
Both activate bloodline powers, increasing combat effectiveness.
However, Frenzy has side effects, causing anger to affect rationality.
In this aspect, the difference between Green Talent and Purple Talent is apparent.
Still, Qin Tian values the potential of "Frenzy," as it’s particularly suitable for frontal combat, capable of creating a stacking effect with "Barbaric Dominator Body."
If the level of "Frenzy" is raised, the side effects might disappear.
Action follows thought.
After previously synthesizing "Barbaric Dominator Body," only over 2400 Evolution Points remained, which increased to over 5000 after killing Thousand-Faced Man and Black Fierce Ape.
Qin Tian invested 2000 Evolution Points to enhance "Frenzy," leaving more than 3000 points as backup.
Soon, the green light sphere was enveloped by blue energy, and the new talent appeared before Qin Tian.
"Name": Bloodthirsty Frenzy (Blue)
"Type": Active Talent
"Introduction": Actively activate to enter the Bloodthirsty Frenzy state, increasing your craving for blood, reducing pain perception, and enhancing all attributes by 60%. The more severe the injuries, the greater the enhancement, up to a maximum of 100%. If the enemy shows bleeding symptoms, each of your attacks will absorb the opponent’s Blood Qi, enhancing state or healing own injuries: After Bloodthirsty Frenzy ends, you will enter a period of weakness, with all attributes decreasing by 10%.
When Qin Tian saw the effects of the new talent, he couldn’t help but brighten.
"Bloodthirsty Frenzy" improved "Frenzy’s" side effects. Although it also increases craving for blood, these desires can be temporarily suppressed.
Moreover, don’t forget, he also cultivated the "Frost Meditation Technique."
This meditation technique can effectively help alleviate the impact of "Bloodthirsty Frenzy," keeping his mind calm.
In addition, "Bloodthirsty Frenzy" increased the enhancement value from 30% to a maximum of 100%, along with the ability to absorb Blood Qi, enhancing state and healing injuries.
This talent, paired with the active "Overlord Body" effect of "Barbaric Dominator Body," can instantly multiply his combat effectiveness.
Huff~ Huff~
Seeing Qin Tian lost in thought, Xiaopang and Xiong Gang quickly stepped aside, leaving the corpses, constantly taking deep breaths to adjust their state.
Qin Tian saw this but did not disturb them.
Some things must be overcome by oneself. Once they are crossed, it’s clear skies.
"Are you okay?" Xiong Gang turned his head to look at Xiaopang.
"Huff, I’m okay."
Xiaopang tilted his head upwards. Doing so could make the rising nausea unable to find an outlet, slowly subduing it.
"Thanks for earlier."
Xiong Gang spoke, talking more could make him feel better, stopping the replay of the gory scene of headless corpses in his mind.
"No need to thank me, it wasn’t me who saved you."
Xiaopang stared at a particular leaf and responded, "You should thank Brother Tian. Without him, the three of us would have been done."
"I know."
Xiong Gang naturally knew who saved him. However, he couldn’t like Xiaopang, in unfamiliar situations, refer to Qin Tian as Brother Tian.
The pride of youth made him feel that calling like that was a bit too sycophantic.
After a long while, Huang Xiaojia’s vomiting beside them finally stopped, not because she was no longer nauseous, but because there was nothing left to vomit.
Xiaopang and Xiong Gang also adjusted themselves and returned to Qin Tian’s side.
Looking at Qin Tian’s matter-of-factly, abnormally calm face, the three truly realized the disparity between themselves and Qin Tian.
Not only in combat capability but also in mentality.
"Qin Tian... Big Brother, thank you for saving me earlier."
Xiong Gang stood in front of Qin Tian, awkwardly and sincerely spoke.
"It’s nothing."
Qin Tian nodded, responding simply.
The matter that can be solved in one shot is indeed a simple matter.
"Brother Tian, I didn’t expect your spear technique to be so accurate."
Xiaopang glanced at the long black gun slung on Qin Tian’s back and immediately offered a wave of flattery:
"This spear technique is comparable to the army sharpshooter."
In his view, the army sharpshooter is already a great success in spear technique and the highest praise for a gunslinger.
But he didn’t know, in front of Qin Tian, the army sharpshooter was just average.
Under the muzzle of Shadowstrike, there were already many Tier Three and Tier Four souls, and countless Tier One and Tier Two souls.
However, Qin Tian was not one to blow his own trumpet, upon hearing Xiaopang’s compliment, there was only a very calm nod.
Seeing Qin Tian’s response, Xiaopang thought Qin Tian was still somewhat angry with him, quickly added:
"Brother Tian, Spirit Beasts generally will have Beast Crystals in their bodies, I’ll help find it for you."
Beast Crystal?
This was the first time Qin Tian heard the term, but having perused countless fantasy novels, he roughly guessed what it was.
Xiaopang stood before the Black Fierce Ape’s corpse with a Battle Sword; the dark red blood stained the soil and fallen leaves, the unmissable chunks and brain matter made him want to vomit again, tightly pursing his lips, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Alright, you step aside."
Qin Tian patted his shoulder. Leaving Xiaopang to do it alone might go unfinished in half an hour, it was better if he did it himself.
Swish~
Black Frost unsheathed, blade sparks flying.
The huge body dismembered into dozens of pieces, the cuts smooth like mirrors.
To avoid damaging the Beast Crystal, Qin Tian’s targets were the joint connections, before scraping open the skin, searching carefully.
Soon, he found a yellow crystal stone the size of a fist in the position slightly above the abdomen.
"Such a big Beast Crystal is worth at least 600,000."
Regarding money and numbers, Xiaopang’s face instantly lit up: "A Beast Crystal of this size is wasted on alchemy. I suggest selling it to a weapon store, to craft Spiritual Ability Weapons, or selling it to the school is also viable, the normal operation of the Star Element Tower requires consuming Beast Crystals and various Energy Crystal Stones for maintenance. I reckon this Beast Crystal could exchange for 300 Academic Credits."
Academic Credits, that’s quite good~
Qin Tian nodded in satisfaction. At the Star Element Tower’s first layer cultivation, it’s 5 Academic Credits per hour. The further up, the higher the concentration of Spiritual Energy, corresponding Academic Credit consumption increases, reaching the ninth layer, it’s 200 Academic Credits per hour.
Under normal circumstances, students wouldn’t enter the ninth layer, it’s too low in cost-effectiveness.
Only when close to breaking the bottleneck, some Tier Three Spiritualists would choose to enter the ninth layer, using the high concentration of Spiritual Qi environment to improve breakthrough success rates.
"Brother Tian, let me clean the Beast Crystal for you."
Xiaopang took out a disposable wet wipe from his backpack, cleaning the surface of the Beast Crystal, then handed it to Qin Tian with a pleasing look.
Qin Tian knew why Xiaopang was so eager, after receiving the Beast Crystal, patted his shoulder, and blandly said:
"The matter of cursing me previously is over."
Upon hearing these words, Xiaopang nearly cried with emotion, It was hard, I finally used sincerity and enthusiasm, escaping potential trouble.
"Let’s go!"
Qin Tian sheathed Black Frost and continued marching forward.
Xiaopang quickly followed, enthusiastically saying:
"Brother Tian, how about I carry your backpack."
"No need."
"Brother Tian, this gun is really impressive. Being able to blast a Spirit Beast’s head with one shot, surely it’s not an ordinary gun."
"Rune Spear."
"Wow, it’s actually a Rune Spear, impressive indeed."
"Quiet."
"Got it~"
Xiong Gang and Huang Xiaojia followed behind, listening to this conversation, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
......
Two hours later
Rustle rustle rustle~~
Shadows appeared on the branches, overlooking the debris below.
"Wen Chengxian’s people have already arrived."
"Seems like their strength is decent, just right to play with them."
Under the dark tree shade, pairs of blood-red eyes emerged, carrying cruelty and ridicule.
