Chapter 407 The Benefits of Cultivating Power
[Ding! Killed a prey, increasing the "Accomplice to a Tiger" skill proficiency by 25000! (7350027/10000000)]
As Cang Nian smashed the sea turtle's head with a single claw, a system notification sounded in his mind.
The cleanup of several large-scale sea monster tides on Jiuzhou Island during that period greatly improved his proficiency in the "Abetting the Tiger" skill, which has now reached over 700,000.
However, Cangnian felt a mixture of love and hate upon hearing this system notification.
This is an evolved creature whose body, besides flesh and blood, is composed largely of bones, exoskeletons, and shells.
According to the system's rules, the increase in proficiency is calculated directly based on their weight.
From the perspective of accumulating skill proficiency, this is naturally a good thing.
However, these evolved creatures, despite their large size, actually have very little flesh and blood. Whether eaten directly or by absorbing their blood essence, it is disproportionate to their size.
Of course, these fourth-order sea turtles, which haven't been completely cleaned of contamination, are naturally not edible.
However, it can be used to extract bloody semen.
Whether it's used to help members of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom break through to the fourth tier, or to help oneself try and see if it can promote one's own evolution, it's a good thing.
Such a shell with little meat is naturally not appealing.
However, after only a slight complaint, Cangnian put the unpleasantness aside.
His conjecture was proven through experiments on this fourth-order sea turtle.
I can indeed skip attacks that don't crit by repeatedly making probing moves and then withdrawing them.
Then, feeling the strange sensation of power arising from nowhere when a critical hit is unleashed, I seized the opportunity, mustered all my strength, and released my true attack, triggering a critical hit!
With the Infinity Blade buff, my critical strike damage is 2.15 times that of my normal damage!
Yi Chen's Law Bead, which can be infused with spiritual power and used repeatedly (up to ten times a day), has a fairly good amplification effect, roughly achieving half the damage increase.
In addition, by transferring 90% of his own stamina attribute to strength, he increased his strength attribute to almost 1.9 times his base strength.
In other words, the attack that triggered a critical hit, used a free attribute skill, and was enhanced by the Yi Chen Law Command Bead, combined with the damage from the three factors, resulted in more than six times the base strength!
It should be noted that even with his second-tier overlimit burst, his attribute boost is only 4.2 times.
Of course, the power of the second-level overlimit burst of the three attributes is naturally much greater than that of this attack.
However, the second-gear overdrive burst comes at a price.
There is a three-hour cooldown period during which 40% of the attributes will be unusable.
Cang Nian would not easily resort to such methods to suppress powerful enemies unless absolutely necessary.
Now, with Bai Jin's permanent equipment and Yi Chen's Law Beads, they can unleash attacks far exceeding the power of conventional combat simply by using free attribute skills without any cost.
At this moment, Cang Nian truly realized how awesome it was to have a powerful team.
Although Yi Chen's combat strength is no match for his own.
Bai Jin's ability is purely supportive, and her combat power is negligible.
But with their support, Cang Nian's own strength was greatly enhanced.
He originally organized this elite Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom to plunder evolution resources in the Sakura Kingdom. His reasons were twofold: firstly, to accumulate skill proficiency, and secondly, because he couldn't use the Tier 3 resources he obtained and would waste them if he threw them away.
Now, he truly understands the real benefits of cultivating his own power.
Thinking of this, he became even more eager to hunt more.
So, Cang Nian had a thought and summoned the Blood Pearl from within his body.
Next, he activated the Blood Absorption skill and, while the turtle's head was still shattered, extracted its blood essence.
Like other magical artifacts, the Blood Pearl requires spiritual energy to use.
The magical artifact itself is constantly absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world and refining it into its own spiritual power reserves until the internal spiritual power reserves are full.
Once the magical artifact's spiritual power is depleted, the user will need to consume spiritual power themselves.
In order to maintain his own condition, Cangnian generally does not use his spiritual power to activate magical artifacts.
The Blood Pearl's Blood Absorption skill consumes different amounts of spiritual energy depending on the target.
When faced with a powerful evolved creature and fierce resistance, it is extremely difficult to extract its blood essence, and the consumption of spiritual energy is like a flood.
For example, if you use Blood Absorption directly on a living fourth-order creature, you will consume about 80% of the spiritual power in the Blood Pearl after you have absorbed all of its blood essence.
The original owner and creator of the Blood Pearl, that fourth-tier shell, had used the Blood Pearl to deal with Big White.
At that time, Da Bai was quite flustered when he encountered such a situation for the first time. The other four-tier shells used their own spiritual power to supply the blood pearl, which is why it had such a good effect.
However, if it is a third-tier evolved creature, it is much easier, the consumption will not be too great, and it is not a problem to absorb a hundred or eighty at a time.
If the target is already dead, then it's not so complicated.
Dead prey does not resist, so it consumes very little of the blood pearl's spiritual power. It can almost replenish itself by passively absorbing and refining spiritual energy from the outside world.
This is why, although the Blood Pearl is a good weapon for killing enemies, Cang Nian almost never uses it to kill enemies.
Buzz~!
At that moment, a spatial portal opened up beside Cang Nian.
Zhizhi~!
Then, a small head popped out of the portal, but it didn't come out completely.
"Hmm? You want to use blood pearls to collect blood essence?"
It looks like Tiger Dad and his team have already made quite a bit of progress, I need to speed things up too..."
Seeing the little sable peeking out of the spatial portal with only its head peeking out, Cang Nian felt a sense of urgency.
The scale of the marine mammal tide here is greater than the total marine mammal tides of the entire Jiuzhou Island!
It is foreseeable that this hunt for the marine mammal tide will be a protracted process.
Therefore, the strategy of first annihilating the sea monster tide and then having Tiger Brother collect blood essence is no longer applicable on Jiuzhou Island.
Otherwise, it would take at least a day or two for the entire battle to end.
By then, even if the corpses of evolved creatures don't cool down as quickly as those of ordinary creatures, the first batch killed will already be completely dead.
That's why the little sable came to ask me for blood pearls, so that I could quickly extract the blood essence from the sea beasts I had already killed and reduce waste.
These blood essences are all valuable items that greatly enhance the strength of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom!
Thinking of this, Cang Nian first urged the Blood Pearl forward, then suddenly seemed to remember something.
Immediately, Cang Nian had a thought and summoned a halo of light through the spatial imprint.
Then, Cangnian threw the blood pearl inside.
Zhizhi~!
Upon seeing this, the little sable's eyes lit up, and it shrank back, closing the spatial door.
