Global Transmigration: I Have SSS Talent

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Unlocking New Skills

Two Sky Islands moved closer to Cheng Jianyong.

Seeing the appearance of those two territories, Cheng Jianyong instantly realized that they might be other survivors.

Remembering Han Xing’s warning in his heart, Cheng Jianyong immediately became vigilant and gripped the blue great sword.

When the Sky Island approached.

Cheng Jianyong saw a human Hunter and a human Warrior standing on it.

If two survivors appear on one Sky Island, it means either they have a very good relationship or something has gone wrong in one of their territories.

Moreover, these two people looked somewhat miserable, covered in blood and filth, and their equipment was tattered and torn.

The human Warrior seemed to be severely injured, unable to stand steadily, needing the support of the Hunter companion beside them.

When the two saw Cheng Jianyong, they immediately showed a gleam of excitement and exclaimed, ”Great! It’s another survivor; we are finally saved, Xiao Jiang!”

Cheng Jianyong frowned and asked, ”What’s wrong with you?”

The human Hunter’s face showed a painful expression, and with a sigh, he said, ”It’s complicated. Simply put, we encountered a terrifying monster. It’s a giant bird, attacking human survivors’ territories everywhere.”

”We were also unlucky to be attacked by that giant bird, almost killed by it, and barely escaped with our lives. Because of it, my brother’s territory was destroyed.”

”Then we fled all the way, avoiding the bird’s attack range, and after half a day, we finally met you.”

Listening to their tragic experience, Cheng Jianyong felt some sympathy.

At this time, the human Hunter continued, ”Brother, my friend is not going to make it...”

”If you have any healing items, could you save his life? We will remember your life-saving kindness...”

Looking at their appearance, Cheng Jianyong thought they didn’t seem to be lying, and he felt compassion momentarily.

After a moment, he sighed and said, ”Come over, I still have some Life Secret Elixir here.”

Upon hearing this, the human Hunter’s face lit up, and he quickly thanked him.

Then, the two Sky Islands came close together.

As the human Hunter and human Warrior boarded the Sky Island Territory, they exchanged a glance and revealed a sinister smile.

”You guys...”

Cheng Jianyong saw their expression, and suddenly his face changed.

...

In the Lost Palace.

Han Xing was still engaged in a lengthy tug-of-war with six puppets.

More than twenty minutes passed.

Han Xing’s shooting hand was already numb; his index and middle fingers pulling the bowstring had become very swollen, with blood marks on them.

Each time he pulled the bowstring, he felt a heart-piercing pain in his fingers.

He felt that if he continued to fight, his right hand would be crippled.

But the battle had already begun, and these Spiritual Puppets wouldn’t give him any time to rest midway.

Han Xing clenched his teeth and continued turning to shoot.

The terrain of the ruins wasn’t too large, and these puppets surrounded him from many angles.

If it weren’t for Little Coal Ball occasionally diverting the hatred of these puppets, Han Xing would have been caught by now.

He had already lost count of how many arrows he had fired, but conservatively estimated, there were more than three hundred.

Taking away the arrows that missed, now each puppet had at least over thirty arrows stuck in them.

The bodies of these Stone Men monsters were like they had grown roots of grass.

Looking at this scene, Han Xing found it somewhat amusing.

But as he just grinned, a terrifying energy beam blasted towards him.

”Damn!”

Han Xing gritted his teeth and rolled on the spot.

After opening the distance, he instinctively pulled the bowstring again.

Skill: Multiple Arrows activated!

Thunk! Thunk thunk!

Five arrows concentrated fire on the puppet with the lowest remaining core Defense Value.

Just then, the situation finally changed.

The core Defense of this Spiritual Puppet was finally cleared under his relentless efforts!

Han Xing shouted excitedly, ”Yes!”

The Spiritual Puppet mainly relies on its core to provide energy for activities. Now that the Defense Value is cleared, destroying its core will make it automatically lose combat ability.

Han Xing quickly turned and shot another Wind Chasing Arrow.

This was his most frequently used skill, for no other reason than the speed of Wind Chasing Arrow was higher than other skills, and its hit rate was also higher.

Whoosh!

Wind Chasing Arrow hit.

The core of the Spiritual Puppet was pierced, and its advancing motion suddenly came to a halt.

Crack... crack...

After a burst of black smoke appeared, the Spiritual Puppet stopped in its tracks.

”It’s done!” Han Xing said with joy.

After dealing with this Spiritual Puppet, there were still 5 left, and Han Xing’s stress drastically decreased!

He poured another bottle of Wild Bear Power Secret Elixir into his mouth, as if injected with adrenaline, and crazily started shooting arrows again!

”I’ll shoot! I’ll shoot! I’ll shoot you stone men to death! Hahaha!” Han Xing screamed, not caring how embarrassing his cries sounded.

Anyway, there was no one else here, so he wasn’t afraid of anyone hearing him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of arrows hitting the Spiritual Puppets kept coming.

Five minutes later, the second Spiritual Puppet fell.

Another three minutes later, the third Spiritual Puppet toppled.

The subsequent battles held no suspense.

When the last Spiritual Puppet’s core was pierced, Han Xing collapsed to the ground as if utterly exhausted.

It took one hour and twenty-seven minutes, and he fired more than four hundred arrows.

Finally, he wore down the six stone monsters.

Tears of excitement nearly fell from Han Xing’s eyes.

Since coming to this world, he had never experienced such a long and arduous battle.

The two fingers that plucked the bowstring were already bloody and mangled, and his shoulder ached with soreness.

He hurriedly took out a bottle of Life Secret Elixir from his backpack to heal himself.

”Whew...”

The cool elixir flowed down his throat, not only replenishing his bodily fluids but also alleviating the soreness throughout his body.

At the same time, the Life Secret Elixir quickly took effect; the two nearly useless fingers promptly grew new flesh and were fully restored in seconds.

This is the formidable healing power of a Life Secret Elixir, and fortunately, this is a world of magic; otherwise, modern biology could not explain this healing effect.

At this moment, Han Xing suddenly noticed that Coal Ball in the distance seemed to be in an unusual state.

Even after the battle ended, the little wolf cub still had bloodshot eyes, continually huffing warm air through its nose, and remained in a tense state.

Han Xing quickly called it over.

”Coal Ball, come here.”

Upon hearing Han Xing’s shout, Coal Ball snapped back to reality, and the ferocious aura it had vanished instantly.

Then, with a flash of black light, Coal Ball appeared beside Han Xing.

”Stop baring your teeth, it’s over.”

Coal Ball, hearing this, seemed to relax its guard and returned to its usual obedient puppy-like demeanor.

Han Xing patted its head and took out a few Spirit Cores from his backpack to feed it.

”Good job, Little Coal Ball.”

After gobbling several Spirit Cores, Coal Ball’s state improved significantly.

It rubbed against Han Xing’s palm.

Then, a system message appeared before his eyes.

[One-Star Secret Realm, Lost Palace challenge completed, calculating Secret Realm rewards...]

”Completed?”

Han Xing sighed in relief, fearing the system might suddenly throw in a third stage or fourth stage, which would have made him cry.

However, thinking about it, that was impossible.

After all, this was just a One-Star Secret Realm; if it were set to such high difficulty, no one else would be able to beat it.

The system messages continued to flow by.

[Secret Realm rewards calculation completed.]

[You received the following item rewards: Strong Fragment*3, Rune Crystal*170, Silver Treasure Chest*1 (the chest is located within the Secret Realm map, please open it yourself.)]

[You have received experience rewards: 4700, pet ’Coal Ball’ receives 3760 experience points.]

[Pet Coal Ball has leveled up, current level lv6, skill ’Void Absorption’ unlocked.]

After the system message ended, a white light flashed over Coal Ball.

Han Xing was amazed, ”Level 6 already?”

”Does this mean that new skill is finally unlocked?” He couldn’t wait to check Coal Ball’s attributes.

[Pet Information: Void Ghost Wolf (Juvenile)]

[Race: Void Race]

[Level: LV6]

[Power: 21, Agility: 39, Spirit: 20, Constitution: 23]

[Pet ’Coal Ball’ has unlocked a new skill: Void Absorption]

[Void Absorption]: When Void Ghost Wolf enters a battle state, it continuously absorbs power from the Void, increasing all attributes by 50%, significantly enhancing recovery ability after injury, and can automatically generate one Void Spike within its body per second, culminating in ten spikes before bursting all at once.

Seeing Coal Ball’s newly activated skill, Han Xing exhaled slowly, then gritted his teeth and said, ”Perverse!”

He admitted that he was indeed a bit envious of Coal Ball, this pet.

Void Absorption, compared to Coal Ball’s first four skills, is even more perverse.

The mere 50% increase in all attributes is enough to be called a Divine Skill.

Moreover, the second attribute greatly enhances Coal Ball’s recovery ability, indirectly improving its survival capacity.

And the last attribute directly turns Coal Ball’s second skill ’Counterattack Spike’ into an Active Skill.

As Coal Ball’s most powerful burst method, the ’Counterattack Spike’ has demanding trigger conditions, needing to be attacked ten times before it can be actively released.

Even though Coal Ball’s evasion rate is high, it has its own weakness, which is having too low of a Constitution.

Additionally, the enemies Han Xing challenges are generally quite strong; a single failed evasion for Coal Ball meant a severe injury.

Thus, Han Xing has always prioritized preserving Coal Ball’s life, avoiding it from engaging other monsters.

And this Counterattack Spike had turned into a redundant skill.

But now, with the Void Absorption skill activated, Coal Ball’s weakness has been directly compensated, achieving a qualitative leap!

This skill can be said to have elevated Coal Ball’s combat effectiveness by several tiers once again.

Moreover, upon reaching Level 6, the attribute boost is equivalent to two previous level-ups, significantly enhanced.

If it were the present Coal Ball facing the six Spiritual Puppets’ siege, Han Xing wouldn’t be so helpless in battle.

”Indeed, not disappointing as a Growth Level S+ pet, truly impressive!” Han Xing was very pleased.
