Chapter 118 – Ye Shuangluo with a fortune


“I really don’t have that many points left. How about… I let my sister spend a night with you?”

A nearly four-meter-tall young giant spoke sincerely. He truly needed the “Blood of the Fire Dragon.”

After all, his Main World had lost five consecutive invasion battles. If they lost again, they might all be in deep trouble.

Ye Shuangluo glanced at the female young giant beside him, who was only half a head shorter than him.

He wasn’t interested in such a mismatched pairing, so he decisively shook his head.

The young giant gritted his teeth and said:

“Then I can be your slave. We can sign a contract.”

He thought for a moment and added:

“But you have to let me go back and finish the defense battle. I promise I’ll come back to serve you as soon as it’s over.”

Ye Shuangluo shook his head again; he didn’t need a slave.

“Brother…”

The female young giant looked at her brother’s humble demeanor, feeling heartbroken.

Seeing Ye Shuangluo’s indifference, she steeled herself and took off the headband from her forehead, handing it over.

“Can I trade this with you?”

[Beast Soul]

[Equipment Type: Helmet (Headband)]

[Equipment Quality: Blue]

[Equipment Requirement: Health Points over 1000, Extraordinary Constitution Attribute]

[Special Effect: Wild Beast Soul

(When you kill a beast, you can choose to absorb its soul with this equipment, gaining different skills and effects based on the beast’s soul. The stronger the beast soul, the lower the absorption probability.)

Current Beast Soul: Flame Rhino (Skill: Flame Charge)

Lock onto an enemy for up to ten seconds, charge at them, knocking them back and dealing massive damage.]

[Equipment Effect: Health Points +500]

[Evaluation: What Beast Soul? I would call it a mini Pluto.]

Seeing his sister trade the headband, the young giant anxiously said:

“Sister! This equipment was my birthday gift to you, how could you…”

He was interrupted by his sister before he could finish.

“Brother, without you, what meaning is there for me to live alone?”

The young giant seemed to have a thousand words to say, but in the end, he just sighed deeply, gently stroking his sister’s hair.

“Sigh.”

Ye Shuangluo looked at the “Beast Soul” and fell into thought.

This thing was surprisingly similar to his “Pluto,” both related to souls.

The evaluation was indeed accurate, worthy of being called a mini Pluto.

In market terms, the price of a Skill Book far exceeded that of equipment of the same tier.

Especially since “Blood of the Fire Dragon” was a bloodline skill, its potential was limited, but the impact was negligible.

Ye Shuangluo glanced at the empty stall; everything else had been sold.

Only the “Blood of the Fire Dragon” remained, largely ignored.

Its positioning was too awkward; those who could afford it wouldn’t choose it, and those who couldn’t afford it had nothing to offer Ye Shuangluo.

After pondering for a moment, he opened the trading interface and put the “Blood of the Fire Dragon” up for trade.

The female young giant immediately placed the “Beast Soul” on the interface, and the transaction was smoothly completed.

Once the trade was done, she promptly handed the “Blood of the Fire Dragon” to her brother.

The young giant looked at his sister with gratitude and softly called out:

“Sister! My dear sister.”

“Brother! My beloved brother.”

They gazed at each other affectionately, their fiery eyes seemingly melting one another.

Ye Shuangluo silently packed up, ready to leave. He couldn’t stand the almost tangible affection between the two.

Are they really brother and sister? Are they sure they’re not in some kind of romantic relationship?

Ye Shuangluo shook his head, not bothering to question whether these two young giants had some ethically questionable relationship.

He had managed to sell almost everything from his backpack on this trip.

Overall, most people chose to purchase with points.

Only the female young giant and a girl from the “Phantom Demon” were willing to trade items.

In total, the Skill Books and equipment earned him nearly 500,000 points.

It’s worth mentioning that he ultimately couldn’t bring himself to sell the “Stomach of Ten Thousand Poisons.”

Perhaps it was because no one offered a satisfactory price, or maybe it was his possessiveness at play.

[Current Points:]

A total of 1,180,425 points.

Skill Hall.

As someone with nearly 1.2 million points, Ye Shuangluo decided to significantly enhance himself.

But before that, he first took out the Skill Book for the “Unbeatable Mystical Body.”

[Detection in progress, you possess the prerequisite skill: Unbeatable Stance]

[Detecting skill-related conditions… Detection complete, you meet the learning requirements]

[Congratulations, you have acquired the skill: Unbeatable Mystical Body LV.1]

Once the system notification ended, Ye Shuangluo eagerly opened the skill panel to check out this new skill.

[Unbeatable Mystical Body LV.1]

[Skill Type: Active/Passive]

[Passive Effect: Armor +100]

[Active Effect: When activated, all skill effects are doubled

Cooldown: 72 hours]

[PS: Duration is the same as the number of Unbeatable Stance stacks, with each stack allowing the skill to last for one second]

[Upgrade Requirement: 1 million points, Unbeatable Stance stacks reaching 1000]

[Evaluation: When Unbeatable Stance is destroyed, it will also be destroyed. Player, you don’t want your Unbeatable Stance to be destroyed, do you?]

This skill is so powerful.

Ye Shuangluo looked at the skill with delight; it was unexpectedly strong.

The passive effect directly increased his armor by 100 points. Considering his current armor was only 96, this skill effectively more than doubled his armor.

Unbeatable Stance, I’m sorry, I misjudged you; you’re the most useful.

When he saw the expensive upgrade requirement, he fell into a long silence, then quietly opened the skill panel.

[Unbeatable Stance LV.Max]

[Current Stacks: 482]

Alright, he still had time to accumulate points.

With level 1 requiring 1 million points, it’s hard to imagine how much it would cost later.

Ye Shuangluo didn’t want to, nor dared to, imagine that scenario; he inexplicably felt like he had a mortgage and car loan.

He shook his head, no longer dwelling on the expensive upgrade costs. Since he was already in the Skill Hall, he naturally wanted to upgrade his skills.

[Ding, your skill “Thorn Aura” has been upgraded] *2

[Thorn Aura LV.3]

[Skill Type: Aura Passive]

[Effect: 15% (+10%) of the physical damage dealt by enemies is reflected back to them]

[Upgrade Requirement: 200 Armor, 50,000 points]

[Evaluation: You need to keep stacking armor]

Spending 50,000 points, Thorn Aura reached [LV.3], with the reflection effect increasing from 5% to 15%, a significant boost.

It’s worth noting that compared to “Unbeatable Mystical Body,” “Thorn Aura” was much cheaper.

Next, he turned his attention to the only skill in the skill panel that could be upgraded with points.

[Bodhi Heart LV.1]

[Upgrade Requirement: Points]

Cheap and without any special conditions, Ye Shuangluo naturally began frantically clicking the upgrade button.

[Ding, your skill “Bodhi Heart” has been upgraded] *9

[Bodhi Heart LV.10]

[Effect: Spiritual Power +1000, automatically restores 10 Spiritual Power per second]

[Upgrade Requirement: 100,000 points, Extraordinary Intelligence Attribute]

Spending 450,000 points, he forcefully upgraded “Bodhi Heart” to level ten.

This significantly enhanced his sustainability.

The skill upgrades cost a total of 500,000 points, leaving him with 700,000. He planned to visit the auction house to see if there was anything worthwhile.

After all, he was now a man with a fortune, and if he saw something he liked, he would definitely buy it on the spot.

After returning to his room through the teleportation array on Sky Island, Ye Shuangluo placed the red and blue “Beast Soul” on his forehead.

The headband immediately adjusted to the perfect shape, a special ability all equipment possessed: adapting to the owner’s physique.

He summoned an ice mirror and looked at the young man in the mirror, still strikingly handsome with the headband, and couldn’t help but sigh.

Due to the enhancement of various attributes, his facial features were constantly optimized. Coupled with the experiences from three trials, his demeanor had changed significantly.

The dual changes in appearance and demeanor made his looks almost comparable to a complete makeover.

With such a handsome face, how did his Charisma Attribute drop to 1? Is that reasonable?

Wait, Charisma Attribute.

Ye Shuangluo suddenly thought of a question.

That girl from the “Phantom Demon” who bought “Eyes of Charm” and “Soul Kiss,” she probably wasn’t buying them for herself, right?

With such a terrifying Killing Aura, she must have killed many people, so it’s unlikely she still had a decent Charisma Attribute… right?

He wasn’t quite sure. Surely he wasn’t the only one whose Charisma dropped from killing, right? Surely not.
