Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 500: Combining Three Divine Abilities!

Fortunately, the pain did not last long, only around five minutes or so.

”Fiuh~! I almost forgot the consequence of suddenly increasing all stats, especially the spirit stat by a large amount at once...” Tang Li Xue muttered with a lingering fear as she wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with her sleeve.

But it could not be helped since Tang Li Xue really need more stamina, power, and speed in order to run away from those annoying assassins.

Tang Li Xue stood up again and patted her clothes to clean away the dirt and dust on her.

When Tang Li Xue felt the surging strength from her slender body, a captivating smile was blooming on her stunning face.

Her overall power at least increased by more than 30 percent compared to before.

Tang Li Xue examined her status window once again and muttered her conclusion: ”So, [Soul Slaying Sword] is actually classified as a martial art. This is an extremely powerful weap... err... technique. It is such a pity that I still cannot wield it freely according to my will.”

”This [Heavenly Sword Immortalʼs Manual] is another set of overpowered martial arts. It is the upgraded version of the [Four Basic Immortal Sword Techniques] which I usually use... but I also cannot use it for now since I must reach Core Formation Stage first before I can use it.” Tang Li Xue said as she shook her head in disappointment.

As for her Divine Abilities and Battle Style, each of them were powerful too, but Tang Li Xue realized that she actually lacked Crowd Control (CC) type divine ability and Area of Effect (AoE) type offensive divine ability.

Of course, it would be an entirely different matter if she used [Divine Possession] with Yaya or [Perfect Assimilation] with Blue Phoenix of Pride!

But what if she was in some special situation like in the previous Inheritance Ground Tablet where she must somewhat face it alone without the help of these two?

ʼI should use my skill points to buy good skills to cover these weaknesses soon. Hopefully, I can combine them into powerful divine abilities. Well, maybe later after I went back to Myriad Foxes Academy.ʼ Tang Li Xue decided in her heart.

She actually also has [Eclipse of Desire] regalia as a Crowd Control skill, but it could only be used on a single target, and the cooldown was also too long (3 nights cooldown after use).

”Eh? The [Eclipse of Desire] can actually be used on 2 targets now?! So good! It seems raising my spirit stat to 1500 was the right decision.” Tang Li Xue exclaimed in surprise.

”OH~!!! Wait a minute... That is right~! I almost forgot one of the most important things I have been waiting for since a long time ago!” Tang Li Xue shouted with a very excited tone.

Tang Li Xue impatiently opened her status window in her system again and tapped the three of her divine abilities.

[(Innate: Strength), (Innate: Agility), and (Innate: Toughness) can be combined into Divine Ability [???]. Do you want to combine it now? Yes/No]

Yes, Tang Li Xue had long since saved her skill points to combine these three divine abilities.

d|

Previously, Tang Li Xue need 300 Skill Points to combine these three divine abilities into a more powerful divine ability, but who knew that her system upgrade made it completely free right now!
ʼDo you still need to ask?! Of course, [Yes]!ʼ Tang Li Xue did not hesitate to agree.

[The combination of these three divine abilities also has three different development directions.]

[1. (Unmatched Power): Grant three times effect from Agility and Toughness stats, five times from Strength stat. Active effect: (Berserk Power: Increase the effect of Strength stat by five more times and grant Fearless buff for 15 minutes duration. Cooldown: 1 hour)]

[2. (Super Speed): Grant three times effect from Strength and Toughness stats, five times from Agility stat. Active effect: (Wings of Freedom: Increase the effect of Agility stat by five more times and grant Fast Flight buff for 15 minutes duration. Cooldown: 1 hour)]

[3. (Unbreakable Defense): Grant three times effect from Agility and Strength stats, five times from Toughness stat. Active effect: (Immovable as Mountain: Increase the effect of Toughness stat by five more times and grant Protection Barrier buff for 15 minutes duration. Cooldown: 1 hour)]

[Host, please choose your own preference direction! 1/2/3]

Tang Li Xue: ʼ?!ʼ

”What the hell?! Three different development directions? This... This is so awesome!” Tang Li Xue cried out in surprise.

”But these three divine abilities are all so good... Can I just have all three of them?” Tang Li Xue asked while begging with her teary topaz blue eyes.

This time, her system did not even bother to answer her request.

”Tsk, what a cheapskate! Umm... Anyway, what are the effects of these buffs?” Tang Li Xue asked again in confusion while pointing her slender finger at the screen.

[Fearless: Unaffected by pain, confusion, paralysis, and stun.]

[Fast Flight: Grant flying ability unaffected by wind friction or sound barrier.]

[Protection Barrier: Grant barrier with triple defense and the same durability as full HP.]

”Woaaahhh~! All of these buffs are so powerful and very useful!” Tang Li Xue commented excitedly.

But it also made Tang Li Xue have a great headache and even more hesitant about which one she had to choose.

First, Tang Li Xue immediately excluded [Unbreakable Defense] since she already has [Golden Body] as her defensive divine ability, and she also might get another defensive divine ability from the Sapphire Wasp Queenʼs royal jelly later.

Actually, [Unmatched Power] has the highest potential among the three, since more strength multiplier meant Tang Li Xueʼs power will get several times stronger in [Divine Possession] or [Perfect Assimilation] mode.

Unfortunately, Tang Li Xueʼs current situation as if forcing her to choose [Super Speed]...

Tang Li Xue gritted her pearl-white teeth and unwillingly chose [Super Speed] in order for her to increase her speed even more, so she could go back to Myriad Foxes Academy on time.

[Congratulation, Host! You have got a new divine ability, (Super Speed).]

Tang Li Xue sighed in relief after she obtained her new [Super Speed] divine ability and decided to test her current speed immediately.

[Moonlight Flickering Flash Step]!

SWOOOOSSSHH~!!!

Her slender figure vanished in an instant as she sprinted forward as fast as she could.

”Amazing~! My current speed is almost twice faster than before! Not only that...” Tang Li Xue exclaimed in satisfaction.

She also felt her surrounding were moving much slower than before.

It means her reflex and thinking speed also increased by almost twice too.

Her body also became a lot more flexible and resilient than before.

”Not yet! This is not my full speed yet! Activate [Wings of Freedom]!” Tang Li Xue yelled as she urged her [Super Speed]ʼs active effect.

BWOOOOOOSHHH~!!!

Tang Li Xueʼs speed increased by twice again, and her slender figure was soaring rapidly into the sky!

(5 times agility from [Super Speed] plus 5 times agility from [Wings of Freedom], so her speed only increased twice after she used [Wings of Freedom], or 10 times Agility stat. It was NOT 5x5=25 times Agility stat!)

Previously, Tang Li Xue could only fly after she condensed a flying disk or flying sword with her [Energy Manipulation], but she could not fly by herself like Sup*rman.

However, she could do it too right now after she activated her [Wings of Freedom]!

”This is awesome~! The sense of freedom is completely different! It is so addictive!” Tang Li Xue laughed happily as she swam on the cloud like a dragon.

With her current high speed, Tang Li Xue was no longer afraid of those annoying assassins easily catching up with her again, so she did not bother to activate her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] anymore.

.....

...

.

In these few days on her way back to Myriad Foxes Academy, she rarely met with assassins again.

By relying on her current extremely high speed, even if those assassins could track her, but they still could not catch up to her at all.

Tang Li Xue also met with Rank A veteran assassins with 7th rank to 9th rank Core Formation Stage cultivation on her way back, but she could easily escape from them using her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment].

”Damn it! It seems these assassins already completely read the direction of my journey. It is getting harder and harder to escape from them. But this is not a big problem... I am not that far away from the space gate back to Myriad Foxes Academy anymore.” Tang Li Xue muttered as her expression turned more solemn.

But suddenly...

KKKEAAAAAAKKK~!!!

The flying Tang Li Xue heard a familiar chirping sound.

Then she actually saw the white [Wind Riding Bird] actually flying toward her.

”Hey, it is you! Not bad, to think you can catch up to me with my current speed!” Tang Li Xue praised as she flew closer to the white [Wind Riding Bird], and then she sighed in relief.

Since this [Wind Riding Bird] could safely meet with her here, it means Little Seventh was all right, and she might already go back to her home.

Tang Li Xueʼs speed might be several times faster than before, but [Wind Riding Bird]ʼs strong point was their endurance. They could fly non-stop for many days without rest.

Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue needs to rest and hide many times on her way back, so it wasted a lot of her time.

”Good bird! You must be flying without rest until now to catch up to me, right?” Tang Li Xue said as she patted [Wind Riding Bird] and feed it with several Spirit Dew Cucumbers.

”How about it? Did Little Seventh already meet with her servants or parents? Or did you escort her directly back to her home?” Tang Li Xue tried to ask [Wind Riding Bird].

However, the white [Wind Riding Bird] tilted its head in confusion instead when it heard Tang Li Xueʼs question as if it did not understand what Tang Li Xue had talked about.

Tang Li Xue frowned when she saw the [Wind Riding Bird]ʼs reaction.

”Forget it... We will talk about it again we come back home later.” Tang Li Xue muttered as she threw the [Wind Riding Bird] into her mid-rank space pouch.

-------------------------------------------------------------

[Eclipse of Desire]ʼs power if anyone forgot about it:

[Eclipse of Desire]: locks the targetʼs mind and soul within their own desire, making them unable to return to reality.

(The number of targets and the might of this power depend on the userʼs Spirit stat.)

(The duration of this powerʼs effect depends on the targetʼs attachment to their desire.)

(The number of targets: 2)

(Cooldown: 3 nights)
