Chapter 604 - 252 Method of Ascension_2
Xu Xiaojun had seventy thousand HP, Yang Changhong had seventy thousand HP, and Nie Siyan had sixty thousand HP. They were all quite close to reaching one hundred thousand HP now.
Moreover, the Crystal Cores they needed were relatively easy to find, and they had already fused some.
Wang Tao estimated that by the time they reached one hundred thousand HP, all of their Abilities should be able to reach +10.
"All the zombies around have been dealt with. Everyone rest up well these next two days, and gather your strength."
Wang Tao said to the three of them:
"Okay!"
The crowd nodded in agreement.
Wang Tao, Jiang Shixue, and Lightning went back to their room together.
However, he didn’t rush to sleep; after all, with everyone’s strength increasing, he needed to upgrade as well!
There were many zombies inside and outside the military base, and, along with the zombies killed on the road earlier and the Crystal Cores provided by He Jijun and Luo Guozhong, Wang Tao had now amassed a large batch of Crystal Cores.
Among these Crystal Cores, many were usable by him.
Of Wang Tao’s four Abilities, only [Berserk Enhancement] was at +10, while the remaining three were all at +1. This was because Wang Tao was saving them for Ability Fusion instead of upgrading.
But now, he could synthetize his Yin and Yang Balance!
Yin and Yang Balance was a Spirit-related Ability. Wang Tao had previously merged a Perception with it, and now he could merge two other Abilities. Wang Tao chose [Mental Shock] and [Mental Defense].
[Mental Shock: Consumes energy to transform one’s spiritual energy into several colorless and intangible needles that are shot out. If there are obstacles in the way, the power will decrease.]
[Mental Defense: Passive Ability, increases Mental Defense.]
He had acquired these two Crystal Cores back in Zijing City, but had not been able to gather three for fusion until now. Wang Tao immediately synthesized them into two Epic Crystal Cores.
Wang Tao first extracted [Integration], then merged it with a [Mental Shock], which had a 91% success rate of fusing with Yin and Yang Balance. Slightly low, but not a big issue.
The fusion with Mental Shock Ability and Yin and Yang Balance was successful without a hitch.
Then Wang Tao merged a [Mental Defense], which had a high success rate of 98% with Yin and Yang Balance.
As expected, this Ability also successfully fused.
Thus, Wang Tao’s Yin and Yang Balance Ability had reached its fusion limit, and a new Ability emerged!
[Level 3 Ability·Yin Yang Harmony: Can sense the surroundings, can slightly influence the spirit of living beings, can destabilize the spirit of living beings, can launch Mental Shock, can increase Mental Defense, can open a barrier that blocks mental attacks, and during sexual intercourse with the opposite gender, both parties’ Mana replenishes rapidly, and the user permanently increases a certain amount of Mana.
There is a cooldown for the permanent Mana increase, with the cooldown being random. (Side effects: None)]
The name remained the same, but the attributes had increased greatly!
"Not bad!"
Wang Tao nodded in satisfaction, now this Ability could also be upgraded to +10. But there was no rush; Wang Tao looked at his Iron Wall Ability next.
This was a sustained Ability, providing Wang Tao with various states. Comparing it to a game, it was akin to a buff Skill.
Right now, Wang Tao had just the right kind of Crystal Core in his hand.
[Physique Enhancement: During the duration, overall physical constitution is greatly improved.]
The first Physique Enhancement Crystal Core Wang Tao obtained was from a Ghost Claw Zombie, the second one from a Zombie Dog, and the third one from the Crystal Cores left by Luo Guozhong. He had just enough to synthesize an Epic Crystal Core.
After fusing this Crystal Core, it showed that it had a 94% probability of successfully synthesizing with Iron Wall. With those odds, he went straight to fusion.
Moments later, the fusion was successful. The name of the Iron Wall Ability didn’t change, but now there was an introduction to the Physique Enhancement on the description.
The Iron Wall could be merged two more times, and Wang Tao already had a target in mind: the Crystal Core [Extreme Speed] dropped by the Zombie Dogs.
However, he currently only had one of those Crystal Cores and would need to accumulate them for some time.
As for the last Crystal Core to be fused... Wang Tao suddenly thought of Precision Shooting.
He was very fond of the Precision Shooting Ability, but alas, the success rate of fusing Precision Shooting with other Abilities was not high. Therefore, Wang Tao had not fused it until now.
But now that he had amassed a number of Precise shooting abilities, perhaps it was worth a gamble?
After all, he could place Precision Shooting in the Secondary Ability slot, and even if the fusion failed, at most, he’d lose one Precision Shooting Ability, which he could afford to lose.
With this thought, Wang Tao immediately merged the previously extracted Precise shooting crystal core again, but since it was Level Two, he used an Ascension Crystal Core to upgrade it to Level 3.
Then Wang Tao checked the success rate of Precision Shooting fusing with other Abilities.
[Precision Shooting + Iron Wall = 35%]
[Precision Shooting + Yin Yang Harmony = 7%]
With Ability Mastery already extracted and Berserk Enhancement having reached its fusion limit, the choice was between Iron Wall and Yin Yang Harmony, and without even having to think, he could only synthesize with Iron Wall.
Wang Tao placed Iron Wall in the primary slot and Precision Shooting in the secondary slot, and then merged!
A rainbow light flashed by... the fusion failed, and the Precision Shooting Ability disappeared.
"..."
Although Wang Tao was prepared for this possibility, as this was his first fusion failure, the loss of thirty thousand Special Energy and a Precision Shooting Ability still stung a little bit.
But it was not a major issue; he continued with the fusion!
The second attempt, failed...
The third attempt, failed...
...
The sixth attempt... if this one failed too, he wouldn’t have enough Precision Shooting Crystal Cores left.
