Steel Halo:
Level: 2. (Number of times it can be upgraded: 3)
Attribute: When taking damage, it can absorb up to 50,000 points of damage. Until the absorbed damage is fully consumed, the owner cannot receive any harm.
Limitation: Once the absorbed damage value reaches the maximum, the absorption will reset to zero after twenty-four hours, or alternatively, it can be reset immediately by using a second-grade Stellar Stone. This reset can be performed a total of ten times. If the absorption ceiling reaches five hundred thousand points, the Steel Halo will disappear.
…
The Iron Halo belongs to a secondary-grade soul of a warrior, so it requires a secondary-grade Star Spirit Stone to fuse into a Star Warrior.
Lu Yu chose to purchase him with one thousand star spirits because his effect is no worse than the Starlight Silver Armor, while his price is slightly lower.
Most importantly, the effect of the Iron Halo is equivalent to a piece of armor, but it does not occupy the armor slot.
After Lu Yu completed this Star Soldier, the steel halo automatically transformed into light and faded into his skin.
“A consumable item,” Lu Yu murmured to himself.
What he needed was the absorption ability of the steel halo. With a maximum life capacity of 500,000, based on his current capabilities, there was practically no monster that could successfully drain him.
Unfortunately, there aren’t many monsters with armor values. Therefore, it’s temporarily impossible to enhance the attributes of the Steel Aegis.
Along with the halo of steel was a mutated Star Spirit Pearl and another rare skill.
Lu Yu upgraded the skill without any hesitation as soon as he acquired it.
…
Blazing Flame Soul Weapon:
Grade: 2 (Upgraded four times, no further upgrades possible)
Attribute: By consuming one thousand Grade 1 Star Spirit Beads or ten Grade 2 Star Spirit Beads, a Star Soldier can be imbued with a powerful Blazing effect. This Blazing effect will ignore the target’s physical resilience, dealing ten thousand points of instant damage to the life force of unarmored targets, causing irreversible burning damage to the impacted area. Against armored targets, it will ignore physical resilience and instantly reduce ten thousand points of defense value.
The Kill Promotion effect is activated, increasing damage by 5,000 points for both unarmored and armored targets.
…
This is a powerful skill that possesses the ability to instantly defeat opponents.
When the Slaughter Promotion effect is activated, the effects of the Blazing Soul Weapon become quite astonishing.
An instant 15,000 points of damage is enough to instantly kill most level-two monsters currently.
When Lu Yu bought him along with the Steel Halo, he valued the explosive power of this skill.
Once the blood is reduced to fifteen thousand points, he can instantly kill the opponent.
Such skills, in his eyes, were what truly deserved to be called top-notch.
Another rare skill—
This skill was gained completely by chance.
Speaking of his value alone, it cannot be measured merely in five hundred Grade One Star Spirit Stones. The fact that he was mixed in one by one among a pile of garbage-mutated Star Spirit Pearls can only indicate that the person who collected them did not bother to examine them carefully.
This skill requires two level-1 skills and one level-1 Stellar Weapon in order to fuse.
Lu Yu discarded the skills “Breath of Life” and “Wolf Rush” without a second thought, and even abandoned “Life Guardian,” which he had been saving all along.
Compared to this skill, his existence is far more valuable than what was lost.
Don’t mention just two skills; no matter how many more there were, he would find a way to let go of them.
…
Venomous Dragon’s Touch: Unique Special Skill.
Level: Two.
Attribute: None.
Passive Skill:
Corrosive Poison – When your attack causes bleeding, it will implant highly toxic seeds within the enemy. The poison will continuously drain one thousand health points per second until the enemy dies. After the enemy’s death, the implanted toxic seeds will sprout and be reclaimed. Level 2 Touch of the Viper can store up to ten reclaimed toxic seeds.
Active Skill:
Toxic Dragon’s Thorn – The recycled venomous seeds are called Toxic Dragon’s Thorns. Each Toxic Dragon’s Thorn has a piercing effect, ignoring armor to inflict 1,000 points of instantaneous damage. It also prevents the wounded area from healing, leading to death.
…
After acquiring the skill, Lu Yu had been constantly doubting whether “Toxic Dragon’s Touch” and “Undead Body” as well as “Fire Dragon Regeneration” belonged to the same category of skills.
Such skills are remarkably effective. Being unaffected by the influence of Slaughter Promotion, light itself is already powerful enough.
Lu Yu tallied up his current base maximum life, which had reached 23,269 points. His base attack power had reached over 14,100 points, and his physique exceeded 14,500 points.
…
The Murder Star Soul has reached level three, with 76% progress remaining to advance to level four.
Special Effect of the 1st Degree Star Soul – Bloodthirsty Blade.
Level 1 Skill – Lethal Strike!
…
Secondary Star Soul Skill – Soul Devour!
…
Level 3 Star Soul Skill – Hunting!
…
Possessing the Phantom Star Soul Orb: Level 1:
Upgrading to level two requires five million units of energy, and thirty thousand units have already been stored.
Lu Yu has been keeping the Flameblood Blade mainly because he wants to preserve its special effects, so he hasn’t used it yet.
Possesses a passive skill: Killing monsters has a 15% chance to increase the drop rate of spirit stones.
…
Deceased’s Body: (Passive Skill) Unique.
…
Toxic Dragon’s Touch: Unique Special Skill – One of a Kind.
…
Lu Yu has abandoned all low-level skills, and now all the skills he retains are top-tier.
Finally, he selected one thousand five hundred Star Spirit Beads that did not require mutation, along with one thousand five hundred Star Spirit Stones and fifteen thousand Star Spirit Beads, to complete the last fifty defensive towers of his domain.
One hundred defensive towers are already sufficient to fully control the perimeter of the mine; what’s currently lacking is dense coverage.
These will have to wait until the field is upgraded in the future to complete.
However, the fourth-level domain requires one thousand third-grade Star Spirit Stones, ten thousand second-grade Star Spirit Beads, and one thousand second-grade mutated Star Spirit Beads.
These were things he didn’t even dare to think about buying nowadays. It wasn’t that he couldn’t get them, but the prices were quite high.
Lu Yu used these days to organize the warehouse, and then searched for the best warrior spirit in the Demon Hunting Plains to choose a weapon for himself.
Unfortunately, the weapons he truly valued were rare and hard to come by.
On the seventh day, Li Yi sent a message through Xiaoxiao, saying that such a person had been found.
Lu Yu arrived at the designated meeting place with two second-grade Star Spirit Stones.
That was the first time Li Yi and others saw Lu Yu on the rooftop of the small building.
“This is your reward!” Lu Yu handed two Star Spirit Stones to Li Yi.
“This… this is too valuable,” Li Yi exclaimed, his eyes widening in shock at the sight of the two Grade Two Star Spirit Stones.
Outside, a grade-two star spirit stone is still in short supply despite costing five hundred thousand.
As soon as Lu Yu took action, he gave Li Yi and others two pieces, leaving them pleasantly surprised.
“If you help me get things done, I won’t let you down!”
Lu Yu glanced around and noticed a young man in his late teens, someone he had never seen before.
Li Yi hurriedly said, “This is the person we found for you. He possesses a Star Soul skill called ‘Insight Eye,’ which allows him to examine all the properties within an object without physically touching it.”
At this moment, the young man stepped forward to Lu Yu, extended his hand, and said, “My name is Liu Xing. I’m a college student.”
Liu Xing tried hard to keep his emotions from fluctuating too much, but his voice still sounded somewhat tense.
After all, the person in front of him, though young, was the top person in Fanggang.
He held at least dozens of lives in his hands, and the sharp, murderous intent radiating from him could not be concealed.
“I think they probably told you something about me, right?” Lu Yu looked at Liu Xing and asked.
Liu Xing was about 1.7 meters tall, with an unremarkable appearance.
Li Yi said from the side, “Mr. Lu, we’ve spent a few days getting to know this person, and we’ve also spoken to many people about him. He’s a very good person. Ever since the apocalypse began, he has consistently taken care of his parents, showing great filial devotion. His request is very simple: as long as you are willing to hire him and can ensure the safety of his parents, he will be satisfied.”
“I need to understand all of this,” Lu Yu nodded. “Once I’ve learned everything and you prove yourself capable of handling the job I have in mind, I can guarantee that your parents will be able to live inside the Domain. There, you’ll even be able to sleep soundly.”
A glimmer of ecstatic excitement flashed in Liu Xing’s eyes, but he still managed to remain calm and composed as he confidently said, “Mr. Lu is free to conduct any investigation.”
“Meet here in three days.” After meeting Liu Xing and forming a first impression, Lu Yu immediately sought out Lin Ting, and also found quite a few other people.
He spent three days openly inquiring about everything related to Liu Xing, doing so brazenly to observe Liu Xing’s reaction.
Liu Xing, apart from his daily routine of going out to the wild to hunt for something to exchange for food for his parents, never paid much attention to the way outsiders looked at him.
On the third day, Lu Yu had learned enough and decided to hire Liu Xing.
Loyal people are easy to find.
However, those who are both loyal and possess the ability of clairvoyance are extremely rare.
Liu Xing and his parents can live within the territory, but they are not allowed to enter the mine.
Since there is still a kilometer-wide diameter outside the mine for living purposes, there are also many houses nearby. Within this area, they are allowed to move around freely, but entering the mine is strictly prohibited.
How many Star Spirit Stones are required to exchange for rare items is none of Lu Yu’s concern; he only cares about acquiring rare skills and treasures.
Meanwhile, Liu Xing’s task was to help Lu Yu collect these items.
As for the required Star Spirit Stones, he could ask Xiao Xiao for them.
Liu Xing didn’t ask for any reward; he only begged Lu Yu to protect his parents.
Lu Yu’s request was simple: if anything happened to Xiao Xiao and she couldn’t return to the mine, Liu Xing would be allowed to enter the mine to place a note at the designated warehouse location as a reminder.
After Liu Xing’s news spread, many people could only look at him with envy.
From now on, Liu Xing can be considered as being attached to the most powerful person in Fanggang. Who would dare to bully him now?
After hiring Liu Xing, Lu Yu informed him of some matters concerning Xiao Xiao, and knew that he could finally leave this city.
“It’s time to leave now.”
Lu Yu looked up at the sky, stretched lazily, and after nightfall, left Fanggang with a bag of clothes on his back.
This is also the beginning of the bloody path.
