Chapter 46 Taking Stock of the Harvest
Each primary talent has only three feat slots.
The mid-level soulfire generated by the mutated heavy armor skeleton is undoubtedly the limit that Yu Jing can currently obtain.
Therefore, without hesitation, drag the Soulfire directly to the second feat slot that extends from the [Savage Physique] main talent.
However, Yu Jing overlooked one point.
This personal specialty is called "Hard Bones," and the process of modifying his body will inevitably affect all the bones in his body.
Unlike the lightness that arises from the depths of the soul during spiritual awakening, the moment the soul fire completely merged with the gray-white light spots, Yu Jing froze in place as if he had been frozen in place, and then curled up and rolled from the sofa to the floor.
Veins bulged on his forehead, and his entire face turned bright red. Even though he clenched his teeth, he couldn't suppress a low growl.
An icy, tingling sensation exploded from the depths of his bone marrow, spreading along his spine and throughout his body. It felt as if molten lava was slowly flowing and pouring into every crevice of his bones. He could even hear the faint creaking sounds emanating from his internal bones.
It's not shattering, but rather the old bones being tempered, reshaped, and even solidified!
The whole process lasted nearly three minutes, but Yu Jing felt like several hours had passed.
When the ordeal finally ended and he got up from the floor, he was drenched in sweat as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
After sitting back on the sofa and catching his breath for a while, as the aftershocks of the pain gradually subsided, Yu Jing finally had the strength to check his Torch Watch.
New personal expertise has emerged.
The pattern revealed within the gray-white light spots is a human skeleton posing in a fit posture. Upon closer inspection, one can see that each bone gleams with a metallic sheen, and there are also several solid ridges visible.
[A tough nut to crack]
Bones tempered by the Soulfire Hammer have their hardness and toughness greatly enhanced.
Compared to "Untamed Beast," the description of this personal skill is quite brief.
Yu Jing, however, knew just how valuable that was.
Increased hardness means a comprehensive enhancement on both offense and defense.
His offensive explosive power has increased, and with his bones strong enough, his punches and kicks are as powerful as those of cold weapons. He can also unleash his power at will without worrying about the reaction force hurting him.
As for defense, it goes without saying that ordinary swords and blunt weapons are less likely to cause fractures, and the ability to withstand impacts, falls, and crushing by heavy objects is also enhanced.
Increased toughness means that the body's own bones will also have improved resilience and self-healing ability.
Even under immense pressure, it is not prone to bone fractures or dislocations. In intense battles, it can also absorb and reduce stress on its own, maximizing the protection of internal organs.
In the unfortunate event of a serious bone-related injury such as a fracture or bone crack, the recovery speed after treatment will be far faster than that of ordinary people.
In conclusion, Yu Jing believes that the [Hard Bones] talent is sufficient to be regarded as a cornerstone of combat power, allowing other talents and talents in the [Bloodborne] talent page to be better utilized.
As expected of the final boss of the ancient castle ruins, which was enhanced and mutated by a necromancer.
This solidified Yu Jing's resolve to use high-quality soul fire to fill his future specialties whenever possible.
After all, the number of specialty slots derived from each main talent is limited, and there is no such thing as "skill reset".
[Untamed Beast] is a necessary strength in the early stages, but will definitely require careful selection later.
With the main talents and feats already chosen, the remaining issue is how to use Soul Shards to upgrade them.
Looking at the top left corner of the talent page, the Soulfire obtained from hunting skeleton soldiers and spiders in the ancient castle ruins, which didn't even qualify for low-tier ratings, automatically transformed into Soul Fragments after being collected by the Torch Watch.
The current number is 135 points.
Yu Jing's priority for upgrading was naturally the newly acquired "Hard Bone".
Unexpectedly, when dragging the soul fragments over, the Torch Watch gave a message that there were not enough fragments to complete the upgrade. However, trying to go to the [Untamed Beast] side went quite smoothly.
This shows that even for basic personal specialties, the number of soul fragments required to upgrade is different.
Since there's no better option, there's no need to dwell on it anymore.
Unless absolutely necessary, Yu Jing would not consider saving soul fragments to add points.
[Untamed Beastly Nature] After all, it occupies a specialty slot.
Aside from the unpleasant aftereffects, the performance in this Explorers' Headquarters assessment was quite good.
More importantly, this skill upgrade requires very few Soul Shards.
This means that he can quickly level up in a short period of time, thereby improving his immediate combat power.
Yu Jing didn't know when she would enter the alien realm again, or what dangers she would encounter. Upgrading in advance would allow her to adapt to her enhanced personal specialties beforehand, so she wouldn't have to cram at the last minute.
Consuming 130 Soul Shards, Yu Jing lit up the second "bean" in the upper left corner of the light representing the [Untamed Beast] feat.
oooo~
The familiar wolf howl rang out once again.
Yu Jing glanced at the image within the light spot; it was still a half-human, half-beast face, unchanged.
The only change is Torch Watches' description of this solo event.
[Untamed Wildness]
The bestial factors ingrained in your blood sense your wild heart, increasing your compatibility. Intense battles will awaken them, causing you to enter a beast-like state. In this state, physical exertion increases, and some limbs exhibit controllable beast-like transformations, temporarily enhancing your physical attributes and significantly increasing your pain tolerance.
"Partially controllable beast transformation, that's interesting. It seems the cost of consuming so many soul fragments was worthwhile."
Yu Jing was quite satisfied with the enhanced skill effect. He could achieve partial limb transformation by just one level. If he could level up further or even break through with golden talent points, would he be able to achieve controllable full transformation?
Yu Jing imagined what it would be like to transform into an orc in battle, and he was quite excited.
After taking some time to calm myself down, the changes to the talent page are now complete.
Raise your hand and turn the knob; the next highlight is the only prop that Yu Jing has gained in this assessment.
He drew a bone knife from his waist.
Yu Jing finally had time to examine its appearance and became convinced that its value was extraordinary.
The bone knife is about the length of an adult's forearm, making it a short knife.
The blade appears to be crafted from the leg bone of some monster, with natural bone patterns resembling a spiderweb. The blade has a matte finish characteristic of bone, and the edges are shaped into sharp teeth, making it so sharp that it seems capable of easily cutting through flesh.
The hilt and blade are seamlessly integrated, with the resentful crystal embedded at the joint emitting a faint purple glow. The end of the blade is also carved with a skull the size of a thumb, its eye sockets hollow, as if staring at something.
This is what a bone knife looks like to an ordinary person.
Yu Jing, who had just awakened her spirituality, quickly grasped its other side.
