Chapter 502 The Fourth Awakening
After some discussion, everyone finally decided to plant the [Crystal Energy Poison Tree] in an artificial lake not far from the research institute.
In fact, they originally wanted to plant it outside the Awakening School or the City Hall, but the crystal energy poison tree will excrete poisonous water, and ordinary people cannot get close to the poisonous water, so it is better to plant it in an empty and uninhabited place. .
After the place was selected, Gu Yun began to send people to deal with the environment here. The water in the artificial lake had to be drained away, and the residents living here had to be relocated. This all takes time, but [Jingneng Poisonous Tree] It will take a few days to activate, so there is enough time.
After settling the matter of the [Crystal Energy Poison Tree], Gu Yun asked again about building a nest for the golden eagle. It's freezing and snowy outside now, and many superpowers in the base have nothing to do. You can ask them to come over and help. There's more power in numbers!
Wang Tao thought about it and thought it was okay. As for what kind of nest to build for the golden eagle, Wang Tao asked the golden eagle for its opinion. It said it didn't matter because it didn't have high environmental requirements.
In this case, Wang Tao will let Ding Yuqin and the others do their best. And Wang Tao himself... is preparing to start his fourth awakening.
After returning home and everything was ready, Wang Tao fused four advanced awakening keys.
After a while, Wang Tao opened his eyes under the expectant gaze of everyone.
“It’s done!”
Wang Tao's luck has always been good, with a 70% awakening probability that has never failed.
Without any time to elaborate, Wang Tao lay directly on the bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
In his sleep, Wang Tao appeared in a pure white space. There was no flame, no darkness, and it seemed like there was nothing. But Wang Tao can clearly feel that his physical fitness is getting stronger.
"System Awakening..."
This result is similar to what Wang Tao thought. After all, Wang Tao only has the last hidden attribute [Physical Strengthening] left, which increases physical fitness. Then he The awakening is obviously related to physical fitness.
Quietly enjoying the feeling of physical enhancement, Wang Tao slowly lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, it was already a day later.
“Huh——”
Wang Tao opened his eyes. He had never felt that he was in such a good state!
Both physically and mentally, he is in extremely good condition!
Wang Tao clenched his fist, feeling the increased power, which made him a little fascinated.
I have to say that the awakenings of his three fire, spiritual and dark systems are strong, but from his personal perception, they are not as comfortable as the system awakening. The feeling of improved physical fitness is simply not that great!
“Brother, you’re awake!”
Hearing the sound, Wang Tao turned his head and saw Jiang Shixue sitting next to him.
"Xiaoxue, where are the others?"
Wang Tao was a little curious.
"They are all discussing about building a nest for Xiao Jin. I don't understand that, so I didn't participate... Do you need me to call them here?"
Jiang Shixue asked.
"That's no need. Let them be busy. It's just an awakening. Just come and test it with me."
Wang Tao shook his head.
What he awakened this time was a passive system awakening, which was relatively simple to test.
“Okay!”
Jiang Shixue nodded immediately. She was obviously very interested in Wang Tao’s fourth awakening.
Wang Tao looked at his health bar.
[HP: 110000/110000]
[Mana amount: 150000/150000]
[Advanced special energy: 180]
[Awakening key: 10]
[Advanced awakening key: 0]
[Level: Level 5]
[Awakening: Catching Fire, Spiritual Development, Heart of Darkness, Man of Steel]
[Awakening Energy: 6500/6500]
[Powers: Fireball, Explosive Flame, Searing Eyes]< br>
His power [Frenzy Amplification] is gone, replaced by the newly awakened [Man of Steel]!
[Man of Steel: All basic attributes and mental strength are improved in all aspects, the recovery speed of blood volume and mana is greatly increased, all negative status effects are weakened, and all basic attributes are slowly enhanced]
Seeing this new awakening, even the well-informed Wang Tao couldn't help but grin.
Most system awakenings are passive awakenings that increase basic attributes. Some of the better ones will add some additional attributes, such as additional strength, defense, etc.
Wang Tao's [Man of Steel] belongs to the latter. In addition to all-round improvements in basic attributes, there are also additional attributes.
However, the additional attributes he has added are more than any system awakening he has ever seen - additional mental power, the speed of mana recovery and blood recovery, the weakening of all negative status effects, and the slow enhancement of all basic attributes. An attribute!
The fused ability of [Man of Steel] is [Frenzy Amplification], which is a fusion of multiple abilities. For example, it slowly returns to blue under the sun, and slowly returns to blood on the land.
But this attribute is not very strong, especially for Wang Tao's HP, it is basically useless. He mainly relies on Lan Yulian, Ding Yuqin and others to restore health.
And now, the newly awakened [Man of Steel] has additionally increased blood volume and mana recovery speed, which has been greatly improved!
One is "large" and the other is "slow". There is obviously a difference, and it is estimated that the difference is not small.
Then there's the "all negative status effect reduction" ability, which sounds pretty good. For example, those frozen zombies have a freezing halo. Unless Wang Tao uses Catching Fire to Start a Prairie Fire, he will also be hit. But with this "negative status effect reduction" ability, the effect of the freezing aura can be reduced!
Maybe Wang Tao doesn’t need to use Catching Fire and can directly resist the lord’s freezing aura!
Moreover, this ability refers to "all negative states". Weakness, bleeding, poisoning, etc. are all negative states and can definitely be weakened.
Then this is equivalent to improving Wang Tao's defense ability by several levels at once!
Plus there is also a "slow enhancement of all basic attributes"!
This attribute refers to slow enhancement, but in Wang Tao's view, regardless of whether it is slow or not, this is actually a passive ability that can grow infinitely! He loves it!
However, compared with the previous abilities, [Man of Steel] actually lacks one ability - the previous [Fury Amplification] has a [Frenzy] ability.
The [Rage] ability is to remove negative status when the blood volume is lower than 30%, restore all attributes to full value, increase the size, increase speed and attack, and reduce defense. Lasts for one hour and can be triggered no more than once per day.
This is a very good ability, and it also saved Wang Tao's life. But Wang Tao has always been very cautious, so he doesn't trigger berserk many times. Even if the rage is gone now, it doesn't matter to him. After all, he gained much more than he lost.
And Wang Tao feels that Berserk is not really gone, but has been integrated into Awakening, such as his "weakened negative state". This must have something to do with Berserk's removal of negative states. Normal system awakening should be There will be no such additional attributes...
Anyway, just looking at the introduction of [Man of Steel] and Wang Tao's current personal experience, Wang Tao is very satisfied.
But how strong it is exactly needs to be tested.
So Wang Tao asked Jiang Shixue to attack him.
"No matter how hard you try, you can't hurt me."
"Okay~"
Although Jiang Shixue nodded, her first attack on Wang Tao was of no use. strength.
“So hard...”
Jiang Shixue touched her little fist. She felt as if she had just been hit on a steel plate.
“Come again, try harder.”
Wang Tao said with a smile. Jiang Shixue used her strength this time and punched Wang Tao in the abdomen.
But Wang Tao still acted like a normal person.
"Such a strong defense, and I feel that your body is too hard, and you don't look like a human at all..."
Jiang Shixue was a little surprised.
“Haha, come and touch me again.”
Wang Tao stretched out his arm and Jiang Shixue squeezed it gently. This time there was no steely feeling.
“Huh? Can you control the softness and hardness of your body?”
Jiang Shixue was a little surprised.
The muscles of the human body can be soft or hard, but Wang Tao's skin has become hard, so it is obviously not as simple as controlling muscles.
"Actually, it is not controlled by me, but automatically..."
Wang Tao explained.
To put it simply, as long as someone attacks him, his skin will harden. If it is in daily life, his skin will be the same as that of a normal person.
Wang Tao thinks this feature is very good, it not only increases defense, but does not affect daily life.
And not only the defense was enhanced, Wang Tao's attack power also increased a lot.
If he had had this strength when fighting the Golden Eagle, he could have saved at least half of the fighting time. It is estimated that the Golden Eagle would not even have a chance to surrender!
“So strong!”
Jiang Shixue looked at Wang Tao with bright eyes.
"Haha!"
Wang Tao smiled and rubbed Jiang Shixue's hair, his vanity greatly satisfied. But he quickly shook his head.
"But this is not my strongest state yet..."
Wang Tao's three abilities have not yet been upgraded, and are still in the primary stage of level five. The strongest state must be to use the sixth-level promotion crystal core to upgrade to the sixth level +1.
Of course, he currently does not have a sixth-order crystal core, so he can upgrade it to fifth-order +10.
Then there is the fact that Wang Tao only has three powers now, and he can learn one more! As for this superpower, Wang Tao already had a choice.
He turned his palm over and an orange crystal core appeared.
[Level 5 Crystal Core·Almighty Shield]
[Quality: 100% (Epic)]
[Purity: 30% (Side Effect: The upper limit of blood volume is reduced by 20 Ten thousand)】
[Almighty Shield: Passive ability to condense an invisible shield outside your body. The shield can block any attack, but it has a limit. When the damage taken reaches the limit, the shield will break. After being broken, it can be re-condensed using awakening energy. (Only those with system awakening can use it)]
This is the trophy he got from killing the giant hammer zombie before. The omnipotent shield of the giant hammer zombie caused a lot of trouble for Wang Tao.
After Wang Tao exploded the crystal core, he wanted to fuse it himself. But at the time, he was not at a high level and was not a system awakener, so he had no choice but to give up.
Now, Wang Tao has already reached the fifth level, and has successfully awakened a system awakening. He can finally fuse this crystal core!
But there is still a problem, that is, the side effect of this crystal core is to reduce the upper limit of blood volume by 200,000.
Because this kind of crystal core is too precious, Wang Tao does not have time to synthesize it into a side-effect-free crystal core, but this reduced upper limit of blood volume can be made up for. So for Wang Tao, this side effect can be tolerated.
Wang Tao hunted a large number of mutant plants before and obtained a lot of [Advanced Tree Essence], which increased his upper limit of blood volume to 210,000.
Theoretically speaking, it is just enough.
But after he just awakened, he lost the upper limit of 100,000 blood volume, and now he only has 110,000 left...
Wang Tao is not sure what the effect of fusing the crystal core will be in this situation. Wang Tao is not interested in knowing whether he will die suddenly or not. So Wang Tao planned to go out to hunt zombies or mutated plants to replenish the upper limit of his blood volume.
After returning to 210,000 health again, he can fuse this crystal core that he has been thinking about!
At this time, Ding Yuqin and the others came.
They estimated that Wang Tao had woken up, so they all put down their work and came over to take a look.
Wang Tao put away the crystal core and briefly showed his new awakening to everyone.
"Wow! Your defense has increased so much...that's great!"
Lan Yulian was a little surprised.
Wang Tao just asked them to attack him. Without the use of weapons, others can still cause some damage to Wang Tao, although it is very small, but at least there is. And Lan Yulian really can't cause any harm... Although she is a nanny, she is still a fourth-level nanny, and her physical fitness is not weak!
It is estimated that even if she holds a weapon and Wang Tao stands and does not fight back and lets her chop, she may not be able to chop...
When Wang Tao saw the amazed Lan Yulian, he suddenly thought of himself The ability to restore mana and blood has not been tested yet.
So he put on the elapsed bracelet and let his blood volume begin to decrease. At the same time, he launched a few attacks outside, which consumed some mana.
After a moment, Wang Tao took back the bracelet and looked at his health bar.
【+500】
【+500】
【+500】
【……】
"Recovering 500 blood and 500 mana per second? That's strong!"
Seeing this result, Wang Tao smiled broadly.
This number may not seem like a lot, but you must know that this is a passive ability that can be restored every second. It can restore 30,000 blood in one minute!
As far as this blood return effect is concerned, it is equivalent to having a relatively ordinary healing power user who keeps adding blood to him!
Not to mention that it can be restored to blue! There are currently very few ways to restore mana, but this ability alone is already very powerful.
With this ability to restore blood and mana, Wang Tao's battery life has been directly improved to a higher level. And as his strength improves in the future, this effect will definitely continue to improve.
If Wang Tao waits for the ability of [Almighty Shield] to be integrated, Wang Tao will not know how strong his endurance and defense are!
As for Wang Tao's current attack power... Wang Tao has no plans to test it in the base. Because there is a high probability that no one can block his attack, and someone will definitely be injured in this test, so it is better to go outside and test.
So Wang Tao said to everyone:
"I will go out tomorrow, what about you?"
"Together!"
Everyone said in unison.
In addition to wanting to see Wang Tao's current strength, they also wanted to experience the feeling of riding a golden eagle again.
