Chapter 058: Skill quality changes! (Ch 058)

Ye Chen first upgraded the three bronze-level skill point scrolls he had just obtained from opening the first treasure chest, as well as the six silver-level skill point scrolls, to gold level.

Then he took out 12 ordinary-level skill point scrolls from the space ring and upgraded them all to gold level.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Chen did not hesitate and used all 21 gold-level skill point scrolls, gaining a total of 3,150 skill points.

Adding the remaining 20 skill points, he now has a total of 3170 skill points.

“Let me see to what extent these more than 3,000 skill points can improve the Soul-Breaking Arrow.” Ye Chen was full of anticipation.

Soul-breaking Arrow is his strongest single-target output skill, and its cooldown time is extremely short. In Ye Chen’s mind, it currently has the highest level priority.

After all, the higher the level of Soul-Breaking Arrow, the higher the damage bonus coefficient will be, and the skill cooling time will also be reduced.

Although the reduction in skill cooldown time will become smaller and smaller, he has the talent of Bright Moon Body, which can shorten the cooldown time of all skills by 50%.

Maybe when the Soul-Breaking Arrow reaches the maximum level, he can even use it as a normal attack.

[You have consumed 200 skill points, and the level of Soul-Breaking Arrow has been upgraded. The current level is: Level 7! ]

[You have consumed 200 skill points, and the level of Soul-Breaking Arrow has been increased. The current level is: Level 8! ]

…

[You have consumed 220 skill points, and the level of Soul-Breaking Arrow has been increased. The current level is: Level 11! ]

…

[You have consumed 250 skill points, and the level of Soul-Breaking Arrow has been increased. The current level is: Level 20! ]

“I didn’t expect that I would just upgrade the Soul-Breaking Arrow to the maximum level!” Ye Chen’s eyes were filled with joy.

Increasing the skill level to level 2~5 requires 10, 50, 100, and 150 skill points respectively.

Upgrade to level 6~10, consuming 200 skill points per level.

Upgrade to level 11~15, each level consumes 220 skill points.

Upgrade to level 16~20, consuming 250 skill points per level.

Ye Chen upgraded the Soul-Breaking Arrow from level 6 to level 20, a total of 14 levels, which required exactly 3150 skill points.

“Let me see how much the attributes of the Soul-Breaking Arrow at the maximum level have changed!” Ye Chen immediately checked it on the career panel.

[lv20 Soul-breaking Arrow (Star Level): Active skill, shoots a powerful arrow, causing 900% physical attack damage to the target;

At the same time, each time the target is hit, a layer of Soul-breaking Mark will be added to the target for 10 seconds. When five layers of Soul-breaking Mark are stacked, an explosion will occur, causing 1800% of the physical attack power damage to the target;

Consumes 500 mana, cooldown time 0.5 seconds. 】

“The skill damage bonus coefficient has been greatly improved, the skill cooldown time has also been greatly reduced, and there is an additional effect of stacking the Soul-Severing Mark compared to before, but the mana consumed by the skill has been greatly increased.” Ye Chen thought to himself.

Once the skill reaches the maximum level, a qualitative change will occur. After the Soul-Breaking Arrow is upgraded to the maximum level, it will have an additional effect of superimposing the Soul-Breaking Mark.

Once five layers of the Soul-Breaking Mark are stacked, it can cause 1800% of the physical attack power damage to the target, which makes Ye Chen’s single-target output ability reach a terrifying level.

Although generally speaking, negative effects such as marks can be removed by purification skills.

However, as Soul-Breaking Arrow is a star-level skill, only a purification skill of the same rank can eliminate the negative effects it brings.

Moreover, Ye Chen can continue to upgrade the quality of the Soul-Breaking Arrow in the future, so he doesn’t have to worry too much about this problem.

“I’m afraid that any arrow I shoot now can cause tens of millions of damage!” Ye Chen’s eyes were filled with joy.

After his professional awakening, he achieved such terrifying damage in just a few days, which made Ye Chen feel a little incredible.

Although this ignores the enemy’s defense and various resistances, it is still a very terrifying number.

For high-level professionals or monsters, in addition to the most basic health and defense, there will also be many special resistances.

For example, ultimate damage reduction, critical hit rate resistance, critical hit damage resistance, ignoring physical defense resistance and so on.

Moreover, for those high-level professionals or monsters, low-level professionals who challenge them will also be suppressed by their level.

The damage caused by low-level professionals to high-level professionals or monsters will be reduced to varying degrees depending on the level difference.

There may not be an obvious feeling when you reach the first level, but the higher the level, the greater the degree of damage reduction.

For example, Ye Chen is now a second-level junior professional. If he were to attack a ninth-level legendary professional, the damage would probably be reduced by 99% or even more.

This is absolute suppression in terms of rank, just like a piece of pig iron and a piece of fine steel that has been hammered through thousands of times; even if they are of the same weight, they are still incomparable.

“Next, I need to improve my level as soon as possible!” Ye Chen made up his mind secretly.

His current strength far exceeds the limit of a second-level junior professional, so there will be absolutely no problem for him to pass the second-level professional promotion mission.

I just don’t know if the Supreme Rules will assign him some extremely outrageous tasks because his strength and potential are too terrifying.

Of course, misfortunes may bring blessings, and the more difficult the professional promotion tasks arranged by the supreme rules are, the more terrifying the rewards will be!

This is not a bad thing for Ye Chen. It just requires spending a little more time and accumulating more!

“Next, continue watching the movie, relax and have a rest, get up early tomorrow, and then improve the levels of other skills.” Ye Chen made a decision quickly.

In the past ten years, he dared not waste a minute. He studied theoretical knowledge madly and practiced practical skills. He was like a taut string.

Now he finally has some capital, he can take a good rest and make up for his past self!

…

The next morning.

Ye Chen opened his eyes early and quickly washed up.

A night passed, and now the number of evolution points on his system panel has reached over 100,000.

“I should be able to upgrade another skill to the maximum level.” Ye Chen made a simple estimate.

It takes 3,600 evolution points to upgrade an ordinary skill point scroll to gold level, and he now has over 100,000 evolution points.

At least twenty-seven or twenty-eight ordinary skill point scrolls can be upgraded to gold level, which is enough to upgrade a star-level skill from level 1 to the maximum level.

“Which skill should I improve next?” Ye Chen fell into deep thought.

Powerful arrows can increase your critical hit rate and critical hit damage.

Armor-piercing arrows can ignore the target’s physical defense.

Fast Arrow can increase your attack speed and the flight speed of the arrow.

As for Lightning Arrow, it is his only group attack skill, and it also has a little control effect.
