The transition from level eight to level nine was quite smooth, and many low-level practitioners didn’t even notice it. The level restraint of level eight had quietly shattered.
Wen Yu, of course, sensed the increase in the level cap at the very first moment.
His power surged wildly, breaking through the level cap in a short time and successfully reaching level nine.
It was a natural progression, without any turbulence.
At the same time, a new skill had also been generated.
Rebirth (S-Class, Passive Skill): Automatically activates upon the host's death, reviving at the original location, with a cooldown of once every month.
This time, Wen Yu felt a bit unlucky—or rather, his little soul beast felt a bit unlucky—only awakening one S-Class skill. Of course, in terms of rarity, a rebirth-type skill is undoubtedly better than an average skill.
However, although the Rebirth (S-Class, Passive Skill) ability was simple, crude, and practical, Wen Yu didn’t need it.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Yu took out a skill scroll from his Spatial Ring.
Soul Harvest (Race Foundation Level, Active Skill): An attack-type soul skill that releases a horrifying soul energy attack in a circular shape centered on the host. The attack range is determined by the host's soul strength. Enemies attacked by the Soul Harvest will be forced to execute a soul strength judgment—units with soul strength lower than half of the host's value will have their souls erased, dying on the spot. Units with soul strength higher than half but lower than the host's soul strength will suffer devastating soul damage! Units with higher soul strength than the host will receive a regular intensity soul attack.
This skill was a gift left by the demon lord during Wen Yu's time in the Heavenly Palace. Although he had obtained it for a long time, Wen Yu’s journey had been filled with strange encounters, causing this pure attack ability to remain hidden in the Spatial Ring.
However, now Wen Yu had no alternative skills available—naturally awakened abilities were too weak, and there was only this one soul system skill scroll, leaving Wen Yu with no choice.
But that didn’t mean that Soul Harvest (Race Foundation Level, Active Skill) wasn’t strong—after gifting Aoga a boost using the soul balance, Wen Yu's soul strength had reached an unimaginable level. At this point, apart from certain specific old monsters, no one could withstand Wen Yu's Soul Harvest!
Based on Wen Yu's soul strength, the lethality of Soul Harvest (Race Foundation Level, Active Skill) would undoubtedly break through the limits!
After quickly organizing his skills, Wen Yu shifted his gaze to the ring on his finger.
At the very moment Wen Yu advanced, the one-eyed creature also broke through at the same time—Wen Yu's spirit pets were so strong that as soon as the level restraint shattered, they didn’t even need to do anything; the overflowing power within them would automatically elevate the host to a higher life level.
The ninth skill awakened by the one-eyed creature was also quite interesting.
Bone Proud Heaven (Race Foundation Level, Passive Skill): This skill automatically activates when the host actively discards the mechanical nemesis shell or when the enemy breaks through the mechanical nemesis shell. The host will experience a powerful enhancement in their full skeletal form!
The specific enhancement effect is the host's physical qualities multiplied by 10 plus the estimated destructive power of the mechanical nemesis at its most powerful state.
Additionally, it possesses multiple properties such as immortality, speed, lethal attacks, and anti-energy armor!
In this state, the activity of the external armor of the mechanical nemesis is significantly increased, rapidly absorbing any nutrients that can be drawn until fully restored.
The state lasts for one day, with a cooldown of three days.
Note: Are you, wrapped in the mechanical nemesis, considered a living organism or a mechanical creation? This question is worth discussing…
