Chapter 580 Shocked, He Knocked His Head on the Ground; The Cauldron Was in Your Hands
Since the skill core left the skill space, it seemed to have shed a heavy burden, becoming incredibly light and moving as smoothly as flowing water.
Within the passage meticulously constructed by Jiang Chen using his soul, the skill star core, like a wanderer who has found his home, steadily advances towards his soul world.
At this moment, the skill core appears to be a small, crystal-clear bead.
From a distance, it shines with dazzling light, like the brightest star in the night sky.
Jiang Chen leaned closer to examine it closely, and when all the light faded, he was surprised to find that this small bead had an astonishing resemblance to the Dragon Ball that Antares had been searching for.
This discovery sparked a speculation in Jiang Chen's mind: Could it be that the Dragon Ball that Antares was so desperately searching for was actually related to one of his skills?
This speculation made him even more curious and expectant about what was to come.
Although the idea seemed somewhat unbelievable, Jiang Chen still tried to figure out the logic behind it.
Skills, in common sense, should exist in the skill space or within the soul, and cannot be left outside.
They are more like spiritual entities than physical matter.
However, the skill core before him puzzled him. It seemed to possess a materialized quality, capable of being moved, and could even be regarded as an "object".
Jiang Chen tried hard to recall everything he had learned, attempting to find a reasonable explanation, but ultimately to no avail. He shook his head, deciding to put the thought aside for the time being and continue focusing on the work at hand.
After several dozen days of arduous effort, on the thirty-eighth day, the bead containing the "damage transfer" skill finally successfully merged into Jiang Chen's soul.
boom!
Jiang Chen's soul world suddenly trembled violently, and his whole body couldn't help but start to tremble.
A massive amount of soul energy surged toward the skill bead like a tidal wave, while the bead, like a bottomless pit, frantically devoured this energy.
Jiang Chen understood that this was a necessary process for the skill bead to merge with his soul.
He wasn't panicked; instead, he felt a sense of anticipation. He knew that once the skill bead had absorbed enough soul energy, it would merge with his soul, and only then would the relocation process truly be over. "Absorb, absorb, the more the better," Jiang Chen silently chanted, continuously channeling soul energy into the skill bead.
As time went by, the skill bead shone brighter and brighter, and its connection with Jiang Chen became stronger and stronger.
Finally, after reaching its limit, the bead emitted a soft sound and stopped absorbing soul energy.
Immediately afterwards, the bead exploded, releasing a massive burst of energy that seemed to illuminate the entire soul world.
"Gained Soul Energy, Experience +1000000"
"Gained Soul Energy, Experience +1000000"
...
In an instant, a flood of information poured into Jiang Chen's mind, and his soul world became even more expansive and powerful because of this fusion.
Jiang Chen felt as if he were being baptized by the Soul Fusion Array, instantly gaining a massive amount of experience points.
This is the feedback the skill star core gave him, which, after a series of processes such as absorption, refining, and purification, was finally transformed into his soul power.
In an extremely short time, Jiang Chen's experience points skyrocketed from 1% of level 69 to 50%. This instantaneous increase in experience points was even greater than what he would have gained from killing the Demon King's god-level clone.
Jiang Chen carefully observed the skill star core after the explosion and found that its shape had changed significantly.
Compared to before, it was slightly larger, and the light it emitted had a dazzling gold hue, as if it were deeply imprinted with Jiang Chen's soul aura.
Half of the star core was already covered by golden light. Jiang Chen was overjoyed, which meant that the fusion rate of the skills had reached 50%.
Generally speaking, when a skill star core is first integrated into the soul, the integration rate rarely exceeds 20%, and it requires a long period of cultivation to gradually improve.
However, Jiang Chen supplied a large amount of soul energy, causing the fusion rate to exceed 50% in an instant.
Jiang Chen couldn't wait to check his skill status. A fusion rate of over 50% meant that his skills would undergo significant changes.
As expected, the skill description for "damage transfer" has changed:
"Damage Transfer (50% Fusion): All damage received by the user will be reduced by half and then absorbed by the summoned creature."
Upon seeing this description, Jiang Chen smiled with satisfaction. The original skill transferred all damage to the summoned creature, but now it reduces all damage he receives by half before transferring it to the summoned creature.
This is equivalent to providing Jiang Chen with a powerful damage reduction effect, greatly increasing his survivability.
Jiang Chen knew all too well how difficult it was to improve passive skills. Since he acquired these skills, his passive skills had never changed. Even with diligent practice, he couldn't raise their levels.
Now, thanks to the increased fusion level of his skill cores, his passive skill "Damage Transfer" has finally been enhanced.
Jiang Chen understood that not only him, but other professionals also faced the problem of difficulty in improving their passive skills.
Passive skills are often the hardest to upgrade, and many professionals spend their entire lives without ever improving their passive skills.
Some passive skills can be improved through equipment attributes, but skills like "damage transfer" do not have levels to begin with, and even having high-level equipment such as BOSS jewelry cannot increase their level.
Now, Jiang Chen's "Damage Transfer" skill has been strengthened with the increase in fusion level, which is undoubtedly great news for him.
The changes in skills are truly exciting.
Jiang Chen's thoughts drifted to his talent. Previously, the "Damage Transfer" skill was just a simple function without any specific data to support it.
But now, it has added the attribute of reducing damage by half, which makes Jiang Chen start to think about whether his talent can also be linked with it.
However, Jiang Chen was well aware that the talent's effects didn't apply to all skills. He decided to try it himself and see if the talent could provide additional benefits to this enhanced "Damage Transfer" skill.
"How are you feeling?" Antares's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Jiang Chen's thoughts.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes and saw Antares's huge eyes. He smiled and replied, "Very good. One of my passive skills has been significantly enhanced."
Antares seemed dissatisfied with the answer, and snorted, saying, "That's irrelevant."
Jiang Chen was in a great mood and didn't care about Antares's reaction. Nearly 40 days of hard work had yielded such a gratifying result; he felt it was all worthwhile.
Jiang Chen explained the changes to his passive skill to Antares in detail.
Antares fell into deep thought after hearing this, his eyes gleaming with contemplation.
“I feel like I’ve heard of this skill of yours somewhere before,” Antares suddenly said.
Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback. He was a new professional, and a unique one at that, with many of his skills being one of a kind.
How could Antares have heard of this skill?
However, Antares did not dwell on this question and quickly changed the subject: "I'm asking you, what level is your divine power?"
Jiang Chen answered without hesitation: "Level 69."
Upon hearing this, Antares slammed its massive head into the ground, causing the entire earth to tremble and creating a deafening rumble.
Deep cracks have even appeared in many places.
Jiang Chen was startled by Antares's reaction and asked, puzzled, "Is there a problem?"
Antares stared wide-eyed at Jiang Chen: "Impossible! How could you possibly have level 69 divine power? The Divine Cauldron has its own rules; it's impossible for divine power to exceed level 10."
Only after Antares reminded him did Jiang Chen remember the Divine Cauldron.
Since obtaining it in the Divine Realm, the Divine Cauldron has remained quiet, only releasing some divine energy each time it levels up, thus enhancing its divine power.
Jiang Chen looked towards a corner of the spiritual world and saw the Divine Cauldron lying there quietly. It was like a sleeping giant, only to awaken at crucial moments.
Jiang Chen calmly stated, "The Divine Cauldron is in my hands."
Boom! Antares slammed his head against the ground again, his shock evident. "What did you say? You really possess the Divine Cauldron?"
Jiang Chen nodded firmly, "Yes, but I can't remove it."
Antares lay helplessly on the ground, as if utterly devastated by the news. "It's a miracle you even have it, how could it be taken away so easily?"
Jiang Chen shrugged, indicating that he didn't know the reason either. He only knew that since that fortuitous encounter, the Divine Cauldron had been inseparable from him, but had never truly revealed its power.
He asked curiously, "What is so special about the Divine Cauldron?"
Antares pondered for a moment, then simply said, "You'll understand when you truly reach godhood." Clearly, he didn't intend to explain further.
Jiang Chen didn't press the matter. He knew that once Antares decided not to speak, asking further would be futile. Antares changed the subject, saying, "Alright, let's continue. With your current soul power, producing another skill star core shouldn't be a problem."
A glint of anticipation flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes. "If I can produce two skill star cores, does that mean I will become a god-level powerhouse?"
Antares chuckled, shattering Jiang Chen's illusions. "Your path is different from theirs. Others only start trying to acquire skill cores at level 89, while you started at level 69. So, if you want to become a true god-level powerhouse, you still have a long way to go."
"However, even so, you will still possess a trace of the skill power that only gods possess. This is already a considerable gain for you."
Antares urged, "Alright, stop hesitating and keep going. After we finish moving the skill cores, we'll go find what I need."
