Chapter 299 - 299 Starfall's New Effects, Trial of The Brave
299 Starfall’s New Effects, Trial of The Brave
[Prompt: With sufficient proficiency, your growth Skill [Starfall] has been upgraded to 6 Stars!]
[Prompt: The Skill, [Starfall], seems to have undergone some changes…]
Ling Yi looked at the two notifications in silence. He only reacted when the meteor fell out of the sky and immediately activated the Invincible Holy Shield.
“Fallen star has finally risen again, haha!”
The unexpected surprise made Ling Yi smile happily.
He quickly opened his personal panel to check on [Starfall] once the update is done.
[Starfall (6 Stars) (potential to grow)]: Guides a flame star to hit the target area, causing a lot of damage to everything in the area (5-second delay).
[1. The probability of a Starfall is magnified by ten times.]
[2. Can shrink the meteor at will without changing its power.]
“Oh? If I don’t change, will the power decrease?”
Ling Yi’s eyes lit up, and his face was filled with joy.
‘If the Nest God had such an effect, I could have pulled [Starfall]!’
He didn’t pull [Starfall] during that battle because the meteor was too big. Although it could cause a high amount of damage onto the Beast King, the Global Allied forces would probably be wiped out.
However, if the size of the meteor could be reduced, thus reducing its power accordingly, then the damage would not be as good as his Elemental Spirit Blades.
Now that there was such an effect, it meant that he could use the [Starfall] Skill in almost any situation!
But more importantly, the appearance of this new effect means that there is indeed hope [Starfall] to obtain a new ability if it continues to rise in star power!!
He could not help but fantasize about what new abilities [Strafall] would gain in the future.
‘Additional elemental damage?’
‘Additional effects?’
‘Or will more meteors be appearing at the same time?’
After rejoicing in his heart for a while, Ling Yi gradually calmed down.
‘Now that I think about it, if I’m really going to use [Starfall] as a normal Skill, I’ll need a crowd control Skill even more. Otherwise, anyone would be able to dodge during the five-second delay.’
After a while, the fire dissipated.
Ling Yi scanned the entire area, but there was not a single monster in sight.
He opened the notification panel that he had just closed and glanced at it—
[You have obtained the 5-star Skill ‘Raging Sea’]
[You have obtained the 4-star Skill ‘Water Pillar Impact’]
[You have obtained the 6-star Skill ‘Sea Healing’]
[You…]
[Prompt: The item in the mailbox can only be kept for 10 minutes. Please retrieve it as soon as possible.]
[You have received…]
Killing monsters in the secret realm would only drop Skills and no exp.
Ling Yi didn’t even look at how many gold coins he had collected. He was not lacking in gold coins and paid less attention to it now.
His goal was to find the mysterious stone statue. Nothing else was important.
His perception spread out in all directions…
Almost in the next second—
His eyes suddenly brightened, and he immediately leaped and swept toward the sea.
After flying for about 20 kilometers, a small island appeared in his sight.
It was a mini-Island the size of two football fields. Some ancient-looking trees were growing on the island, but between them, there was a yellow trail.
The path led to a stone statue in the center of the island.
“Is that the one?”
Ling Yi flew down slowly as he looked around. He smiled, “It’s a miracle that a player could find this place.”
Whenever a new secret land opened, there would always be players who explored the land’s entire map, hoping to discover the rare treasures.
It wasn’t too outrageous for him to discover this place.
As he landed, he immediately activated his [Eye of Truth].
[Mysterious Ancient Statue]: Can allow people with certain qualifications to enter the Trial of the Brave.
“As expected. This is what I’m looking for.”
When he got close, a notification appeared in front of him.
[Analyzing… You have met the trial requirements. Do you want to enter the Trial of the Brave immediately?]
“Yes.”
Suddenly, a ray of holy light descended from the sky…
…
[Prompt: You are in a special area. Active Skills can not be used in this area.]
[Prompt: You are in the speed limit zone. The highest speed in this zone is 100 m/s]
As soon as he entered the trial, two notifications popped up.
Ling Yi’s eyes widened, and he subconsciously cursed, “F*ck!”
He didn’t panic. After all, his basic stats were very high, and his punches and kicks weren’t something that ordinary monsters could deal with.
At this moment, he felt a burst of cold air behind him.
He looked back and saw the Ice Queen walking out of the mirror with her signature white hair, white eyes, and bare feet. She was wearing an ice crystal blue dress, stepping on the air, and walking out of an oval light curtain at a moderate pace.
“I thought I couldn’t use my Skills? How did you come out?” Ling Yi’s eyes widened as he sized her up.
“You can’t use it, so I came out myself,” the Ice Queen said calmly.
“…. Then how can you still fly?”
“Because my flying ability is a passive ability.”
With the Ice Queen’s help, Ling Yi’s chances of winning increased greatly.
He raised his head and looked around. They were in a dark secret room with three large doors in front of them.
At the same time, the contents of the trial finally appeared.
[Trial of the Brave: You can pass the trial by leaving this place within the specified time.]
“Oh?”
He looked at the countdown timer in the top right corner of his vision.
[59:37]
[59 minutes 36 seconds]
[…]
“I might not have had the confidence to leave within an hour in the past, but now…”
He opened his backpack and activated “Premonition Prompt “.
Almost at the same time, this item gave him a useful hint.
[You and the Ice Queen walked left and right, respectively, but you found that you were both at a dead end.]
“Hehe, with this, this will be much easier.”
As he spoke, he led the Ice Queen to the passage in the middle.
There were some dark demonic beasts hidden in the dark tunnel. Although Ling Yi, who had used the psychic’s head earlier, could see them clearly, he still had quite a number of lighting items.
Any energy-driven “Solar Floating Lamp” could light up the place as if it were daytime.
The two of them could not use active Skills, but with their extremely high stats, they could still kill these dark demons with their punches.
Soon, they arrived at the next secret chamber. This time, there was an additional message.
[You planned to walk on the far left and let the Ice Queen walk on the far right, but unfortunately, she couldn’t be 1,000 meters away from you. In the end, she was sent back to you before she reached the end, and you met a dead end.]
[The summoned beast can not be more than 1,000 meters away from the summoner, but you have forgotten that the Ice Queen can summon ice spirits and ice elements. If you summon all of them, you can explore another 2,000 meters.]
“Mm…” Ling Yi pondered for a moment before changing his train of thought.
[You plan to take the second path on the left. The Ice Queen and her summoned beasts will take the third path. The Ice Queen has discovered the next secret area.]
“Let’s go. We’ll take the third path.”
As they killed the demonic creatures in the tunnel, Ling Yi couldn’t help but start to think, ‘There are so many items on God’s Path. Although the exploration type is rare, I should still buy the lower level ones, right?’
In the morning, he did not see any exploration-type items in the treasure vault. After asking Nangong Li about it, he found out that it was an extremely rare type of item.
[You plan to visit the shops and exchanges, but you don’t know that your ‘Hardworking Bee’ can come in handy now. After all, it does not have a distance limit with you.]
“Eh?”
Following this hint, Ling Yi sent out the [Hardworking Bee].
It had two abilities.
The first was that the drops would automatically enter the bag if they were killed by themselves.
The second was that if someone else killed it and dropped it, he could also send the little bee to pick them up.
Now, Ling Yi had sent it out not to pick up the fallen items, but to scout the way.
After coming to the next secret area, as expected, there was another passage.
[Let the little bee fly to the first path, the little bee will soon fly to the end.]
Lin Ye began to think.
[Let the little bee fly to the second path, and it will also fly to the end quickly.]
His thoughts turned again.
[… You let the little bee fly to the next area]
“Let’s go, the third one.”
To be able to determine the correct path in just a few seconds, the ‘Premonition Prompt’ was of great help this time!
A few minutes later….
With the help of the Premonition Prompt and the little bee, Ling Yi walked out of the secret chamber without any hindrances!
