Dark Blood Path

Jinshi’s new innate skill, “Complete rock formation,” was undoubtedly an evolution of “Partial rock formation,” but it could never completely replace the latter since Xiao Yu uncovered a flaw in the ability. Jinshi’s legs and feet would become stiff and rigid once his whole body had been rockified, and his flexibility would then be reduced by at least 30 to 40%. Although his defensive power would substantially improve, that state was relatively unfavorable in combat.

After Xiao Yu discovered this, he immediately instructed: “Although complete rock formation is your new best defensive skill, you must not rely too much on defense. Combat skill development is also extremely important. No matter how powerful your defense is, it cannot be employed to take down your opponent. After all, the best defense is a good offense.” Original content can be found at novel-fire.ɴet

“Yes, I understand!”

Jinshi lifted off the rockified state and returned to normal. His body, however, was bigger than before, his skin tone looked darker and more glossy, and his head was still shining, as he had practically no hair remaining. With a height of around 2.3 meters, standing in front of Xiao Yu, who was only 1.8 meters tall, it was like an adult and a child were confronting each other. But from the expressions of the two, Xiao Yu looked more like an adult, while Jin Shi looked like a child being taught.

Xiao Yu rummaged through the kobold chieftain’s corpse for a while, discovering an intermediate soul gem and two other items, including a piece of white-grade equipment, which was the kobold chieftains’ chain hammer, called “Kobold Hammer.” The chain was roughly five feet long, with an iron ball full of iron spikes dangling from the end, which resembled a meteor hammer. This white-grade item was very ordinary in every aspect, and not many people could use this kind of weapon, so he put it away first.

The other one was “Explosion Blessing Spell”, a white-grade magic scroll that buffs weapons with a first-rank explosion magic attack; its effect lasts for one minute.

Using this scroll to bless his weapon should cause an explosive effect with every one of his attacks, similar to when the kobold chieftain hit a target with its chain hammer. Although the duration was limited to one minute, you should be aware that this is a first-rank explosion blessing, which is tantamount to applying a bombardment effect to each of his attacks for a whole minute straight. The increase in power was not insignificant.

When Xiao Yu battles against an opponent, he can fight with all his might, and within a minute, he can attack hundreds of times with his high-paced combat speed. If every attack held an explosive effect, how many people could block it at this stage? How many people could survive his onslaught? It was plausible how strong that power could be.

This scroll was undoubtedly heaven-defying!
