Reading the description of the soul strike in detail, Wen Yu nodded in satisfaction after a while.
The new soul strike had a stronger effect; in addition to ignoring foundation level and below soul defense skills, the biggest change was the introduction of three new special effects.
These three special effects enhanced the killing power of soul intimidation against the weak, but Wen Yu's own clearing ability was already decent, making the effect of soul intimidation seem somewhat optional. However, when paired with soul weakening and soul deprivation, the three effects perfectly formed a virtuous cycle.
When facing enemies whose soul strength surpassed Wen Yu's, as the soul strike continued to take effect, the enemy's soul strength would weaken while his own would increase, until the balance flipped, allowing soul intimidation to take effect and swiftly end the battle.
This was already a trump card that could turn the tides.
Wen Yu was quite satisfied with the new soul strike; it was worth upgrading a foundation level skill scroll. He took a few more glances at his skills, and the dark sovereign (SSS level, passive skill) stood out a bit...
This thing was a nuisance; if it weren't for the potential of dark divine light, Wen Yu would have thrown it far away by now.
It was also a bit embarrassing. Originally, Wen Yu planned to study how to cancel the prerequisites for dark divine light, but even now, he couldn't even make a foundation level skill scroll, leaving his research in this area stuck in a deadlock.
Speaking of which, it's all tears; all he could say was that the road ahead was long...
With this in mind, Wen Yu absorbed the soul crystal while a radiant light blossomed from his right hand.
Since he was idle anyway, why not make a couple of skill scrolls now? Next month's auction at the Star of Africa would have a significant gap in high-end goods...
Recently, Beijing had been a bit noisy.
As a massive gathering place with 2 billion residents, Beijing was always bustling. However, today was different; the previous noise had been filled with the chatter of people, while today's noise was the buzzing of all things.
In the past few days, residents of the Beijing gathering place had witnessed some strange sights—countless terrifying mutated creatures, with clear and bright eyes, had entered the gathering place under the guidance of the military, disappearing into the Inner City.
Newcomers to Beijing might feel the vibrancy of the city—look, even the beasts with intelligence come to roam Beijing, and if you're lucky, you might even see the true form of a divine beast species at the market.
However, the old residents of the Beijing gathering place knew well that this day came every year; the arrival of myriad beasts signified the annual ten thousand races conference was beginning again...
The ten thousand races conference was initiated three years ago by Lin Haifeng, who even invited Wen Yu to personally oversee it. Under the deterrence of the second sequence, no race dared to refuse this invitation. As for the location of the conference, Lin Haifeng thought it over and settled on Beijing.
On one hand, this was due to human pride and racial strength—undoubtedly, the terrifying upright apes had ruled this planet for thousands of years, once the dominators of Earth, and now they still were, with no doubt they would continue to be so in the future. Compared to the natural evolution of mutated beasts, the superiority of the professional system was evident.
On the other hand, it was Lin Haifeng's little scheme—look at the residents of Beijing, even other races come to Beijing for the conference; what does this signify? We are the best, Beijing is the most impressive, hurry up and contribute your strength to the development of Beijing...
This kind of centripetal force would always subconsciously influence human perception.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the command center, looking into the distance, Lin Haifeng appeared calm, his eyes clear and shining with brilliance, exuding an imposing aura, showing no signs of being affected by personal matters.
