Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1102: Chapter 538: Magic Potion Selection_2

Li Yelai sighed inwardly, fully aware of Cheese’s character—rational and resolute.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left the Giant City to pursue the truth back then.

“Besides, my ability has a high synergy with the Mimicry Heavenly Soldier, which can unleash their stronger combat power. At that time, who knows who will be holding whose leg…” Cheese gently stroked Li Yelai’s back: “Of course, you’ve already held it… or should I say, carried it?”

The teasing words made Li Yelai blush, and he retorted: “At a time like this, you’re still making jokes?”

“So, don’t keep a tense face… As a champion, if you look nervous, the other warriors will feel even more pressure.” Cheese extended her fair fingers, poking Li Yelai’s cheek: “Alright, I’ll go help now.”

Cheese is a Spiritual Ability User on the Path of Babbling. She needs to cooperate with her colleagues of the same path to hypnotize the warriors, at least temporarily altering their fears.

Afterward, Li Yelai waited in the camp for the Ark’s communication.

At the same time, waiting for the remaining forces of Ba Shu Mountain City to arrive.

The Champion Team One needs external assistance to conquer the Disaster Fog. This is indispensable.

As the sky gradually dimmed, the Ark’s communication arrived first.

Li Yelai immediately changed his outfit and entered the Ark Hall.

Inside the hall, Jing Lin and Chu He had already arrived.

“Copper Face, sorry for the wait.” Chu He looked at Li Yelai and said: “I came as soon as the calculations were finished. I hope I made it in time…”

As he spoke, Chu He raised his hand, and several pieces of Beast Skin Paper appeared on the table in front of Li Yelai.

“Four formulas calculated by the Stele, but differing from previous variants. They only represent four types of anomalies, not the specific abilities to be acquired.” Chu He sighed: “After all, there are just too many types of anomalies. Each Mimicry Phenomenon is different. Perhaps, given a month, the Stele can deduce more.”

“We don’t have that kind of time…” Li Yelai felt a bit regretful, just inclinations, not precision? Indeed, it’s a pity.

But anomalies are indeed numerous and closely related to the Spiritual Ability User.

For example, the fifth-generation champion, who is on the Wanxiang Path, with the mythical mimicry being the Taotie. The anomaly mimicry, on the other hand, is the Blood Battle Eight Directions.

Among anomalies, during sieges, he gains power boosts.

Whereas in duels, the boost is almost useless.

It belongs to the self-enhancement type anomaly, a type similar to Zhu Ye’s Sun and Moon Shining Together, yet more restricted.

And a Wanxiang Dominator from Lava Mine City’s anomaly is Mountain and River Resonance. It belongs to the defense type anomaly.

It can be said that each Wanxiang Path dominator’s anomaly has its own unique aspects.

Li Yelai initially thought he could obtain a large number of anomaly formulas through Chu He’s Stele and choose a suitable one himself.

Still too idealistic in thinking…

Li Yelai picked up the formulas. These magic potion recipes are almost identical, but it’s the tiny variations that lead to distinctly different anomalies afterward.

Four formulas.

The attack type requires bathing in the heart blood of three Overlord Level Spiritual Ability Units before consumption, which is simple.

The enhancement type requires slaying enemies a hundred times one’s own number within a short time before consuming the potion. The enemies must be Spiritual Ability Units, at least Five Senses Strong. Challenging, but feasible. The issue is that advancement on the battlefield is somewhat risky.

The weakening type requires consuming the potion while having at least three curses or debuffs on oneself. This is simple, as Li Yelai has acquired the Joyful Twelve-sided Dice from the Blood God Main Base.

Merely using the dice allows for obtaining enhancements or debuffs according to the rolled number.

It’s similar to the Lucky Wheel, but these are temporary enhancements or debuffs.

The duration is one hour and can be used multiple times.

The cost is being used consecutively ten times, on the eleventh use, losing one’s memory for a week.

Given Li Yelai’s luck, rolling nine debuffs poses no problem. The issue is advancing with debuffs also carries risks.

The defense type requires receiving severe injuries before drinking. Somewhat abstract… But as the Eternal Chosen One, Li Yelai has nothing to fear. If need be, he can regrow his intestines instantly like sashimi.

After selecting a formula, the anomaly Li Yelai acquires upon advancement will favor one type.

This, to some extent, avoids tactical gaps for Li Yelai.

But ultimately, it’s unstable… Only a tendency, not precise…

And Li Yelai’s luck… haha.

Now, there are no other options.

Li Yelai surveyed the formulas, the offensive type… if not enhanced, it’s pretty useless.

Li Yelai doesn’t lack output.

And his strongest enhancement comes from the Li Yuanba Face. If it cannot gain the boost from Dharma Image, it’s meaningless. Therefore, it’s not considered temporarily.

The defense type as well, Li Yelai’s physical power is indeed strong, and he has the Shadow Army for defense. But integrating such an anomaly into Li Yelai’s tactics seems unlikely. Compared to defense, defeating the opponent with higher output is the best solution.

So, it’s down to enhancement and weakening anomalies.

The former straightforwardly boosts figures, while the latter weakens the enemy in certain areas. Both can effectively eliminate opponents directly.

After a brief contemplation, Li Yelai still chose the enhancement type.

“Let’s go with this one, Shan Cha, please take care of it.” Li Yelai handed the formula to Jing Lin.

“Alright, no rush. I’ll be quick in making it.” After taking all the formulas, Jing Lin produced a mimicry of a Heavenly Soldier from a box: “Take it, the more the merrier!”

Then, Jing Lin transformed into a white light and disappeared.

His physical world location is just outside the official refining room.

Thanks to Li Yelai sweeping through the Blood God Headquarters’ vast resources and the materials from Jile Subsidiary at Ten Thousand Dragon Lake.

There are no issues regarding formula materials.

Once the formula was obtained, the potion started its refining.

Meanwhile, within the Ark.

Chu He said: “Enhancement type? Indeed, it’s the most stable.”

“Yes, it ensures I can fully leverage all my augmentations without disrupting my expected strategic mindset.” Li Yelai responded: “Perhaps, an offensive anomaly would work too, but it carries too much risk.”

“Understood, I also favor enhancements.” Chu He laughed softly as he said, knowing the True Martial Path: “In a hurry? If possible, you and Li Ming should jointly challenge the Third Ring Seat. Having more permissions is beneficial. With that space in the third ring, regardless of what happens inside the Disaster Fog, at least you won’t starve. In my cultivation space, the rice and wheat growing can now mature monthly. It solved the sustenance issue for my kinfolk. It’s just that the Spirit Plants grow too slowly.”

“I know, but the information inside the Disaster Fog is unknown. I can’t afford to delay too long.” Li Yelai replied: “Captain, can the Third Ring Seat challenge be completed in a day?”

‘Of course not, even if you decide to challenge, you’ll have to wait three days. As for the duration of the challenge, that depends on your own strength. It takes at least more than a day…’ The Captain seemed quite interested: ‘Even if you are both Divine Chosen, or even Human Champions, you can’t shorten this. These are the Ark’s rules, and I cannot defy them.’

As the Ark’s Captain, he knows a lot of secrets.

But due to the Ark’s rules, he cannot share them with others.

Otherwise, Li Yelai and the others need not hide their identities.

Li Yelai and Chu He were not bothered by this; they had anticipated it long ago.

“What a pity.”

Li Yelai sighed, waiting this long might worsen the circumstances inside the Disaster Fog. There’s no time to wait.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Jing Lin returned.

He brought back another box of mimicry Heavenly Soldiers and a piece of golden-red potion.

Li Yelai took the potion and mimicry Heavenly Soldiers: “Everything is ready. Gentlemen, we will meet again.”

“Naturally.”

“Be very careful!”

With that, Li Yelai returned to the physical world and felt a strong presence approaching.

The vast pressure of spiritual power indicated that it was a king!

Finally here, the Sword King!
