Chapter 644 Opening the Mountain!
230 days after birth.
Bang bang bang~!
Dang Dang Dang~!
Awooooo~!
On the ark, Cangnian was having a friendly sparring session with Tiger Brother.
Both sides are using their special abilities to fight each other.
However, Cangnian was on the offensive, while Hudi was on the defensive.
To be fair, Cangnian did not impose too many restrictions on Hudi.
Since neither of us can use our ultimate burst, and neither can Tiger Brother use his fat bomb, we'll have to rely on our own abilities for the rest.
Therefore, Tiger Brother can use his energy-stored burst or his counter-damage skill, so Cangnian can no longer spar with Tiger Brother without taking damage.
However, there's nothing that can be done about it.
If Tiger Brother doesn't get a taste of victory in battle, he won't want to play with Cangnian anymore.
No one would willingly accept being beaten unilaterally.
However, the difference in combat experience between the two sides was too great, and Tiger Brother could only rely on his counter-damage skill to make Cangnian suffer a bit.
Aside from the Fat Bomb, Tiger Brother has four skills from Tier 1 to Tier 4, all of which can be used, but only the Energy Burst is an active offensive method.
Tiger Brother, lacking combat experience, would become too obvious in his attacks on Cang Nian after being beaten up for a while and accumulating enough energy to threaten Cang Nian.
Therefore, without exceeding the limit, although Cangnian could not withstand the full force of Hudi's energy burst, he could often instantly capture Hudi's attack intentions and thus avoid Hudi's threatening attacks.
In this way, not only could Tiger Brother not effectively harm Cangnian, but he would often almost lose his breath because his all-out attack missed.
After several unsuccessful attempts to hit Cangnian, Tiger Brother changed his strategy. Before using his Energy Burst, he used his Tier 3 skill to taunt Cangnian, forcing Cangnian to attack him and ensuring the hit rate of his killing move.
When Tiger Brother used such a combo for the first time, Cangnian almost fell victim to it.
However, because he was constantly on guard against Tiger Brother's taunting skills, when Cangnian realized that his body was uncontrollably attacking Tiger Brother, he used his free attribute skill to make his mental attribute surge, thus getting rid of the taunt and barely avoiding it.
After that, Cangnian became more vigilant against this move, and Hudi used it several more times, but each time he missed.
This made Tiger Brother feel frustrated, like he had energy but nowhere to use it. In the end, it stopped using this move and honestly activated its Copper Skin and Iron Bones to withstand Cangnian's attacks, using pure counter-damage to attack Cangnian.
Meanwhile, Cangnian comfortably used Tiger Brother as a punching bag to train his [Earth Split] skill in the system.
Cangnian had already unlocked this skill when he first arrived in the land of cherry blossoms, and it has been more than a hundred days since then.
However, because the progress bar for the previous skill chain only required 10,000 hits to advance, while the progress bar for the Earth Shatter skill required a full 100,000 hits, it has taken so long to evolve to the next stage.
[Ding! Earth Shatter skill performed once, Earth Shatter skill proficiency +1! (100000/100000)]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your Earth-Splitting skill proficiency has reached maximum. This skill has evolved into—Mountain-Splitting!]
Fortunately, with Tiger Brother's cooperation, the Earth Shattering skill, which had already reached the edge of the 100,000th level, finally accumulated enough proficiency, and a long-awaited system notification sound rang in Cang Nian's mind.
Immediately, Cang Nian felt a surge of power flowing into his forelimbs and arms, making his already thick arms even stronger!
However, the muscles that had swollen up in his arms quickly contracted.
This did not reduce the strength of the arms; on the contrary, it made every muscle in them more resilient and elastic, with each muscle twisted together like steel bars, lean yet powerful!
In addition, Cang Nian felt an itch in his claws and toes, and his already sharp claws shone with a lustrous light, like white jade, with a metallic sheen on the white jade-like texture!
"Not only has the strength of the upper limbs been greatly improved, but even the claw blades have become sharper."
Now I'm attacking with my claws, and it's much stronger than before!
Cang Nian hadn't experienced the system's sixth-tier skill evolving to the seventh tier many times, and this time the improvement was quite considerable, making Cang Nian extremely satisfied.
"By the way, theoretically speaking, a seventh-tier system skill should have an active effect and be as strong as a superpower."
This seventh-tier Mountain-Splitting skill, which evolved from the sixth-tier Earth-Splitting skill, shouldn't be too bad, right?
Just then, Cang Nian's heart stirred with anticipation.
To date, among the system's skills, Cang Nian has only evolved three skills to the seventh tier.
The seventh-tier skill, Wind from the Tiger, allows the user to walk on air and gain aerial combat capabilities before reaching the fifth tier!
The seventh-tier skill, Water Dragon, allows one to breathe underwater and move as nimbly as a dragon in the water!
The seventh-tier skill, "Accomplice to the Tiger," allows one to collect the remnants of the souls of the dead and transform them into vengeful spirits to fight for them!
These three seventh-tier skills all have good active effects, especially the "Accomplice to a Tiger" skill, which will never become outdated no matter what level you evolve to.
What about the system skill "Mountain Splitting," which has also evolved to the seventh tier?
Thinking of this, Cangnian carefully sensed the skill.
Then, a sudden realization dawned on him, requiring no words to describe, and he acted upon it spontaneously.
In the next instant, he instinctively activated the spiritual power within his body, which surged along his forelimbs and arms toward the claw blades!
As the spiritual energy surged, Cangnian's arm visibly bulged, and at the same time, the spiritual energy gathered on the claw blade, making Cangnian feel restless!
Feeling the terrifying power gathered at the claw blade, Cangnian didn't dare to use it on Tiger Brother, nor did he dare to release it casually. So he could only raise his claw and swing it towards the empty sky!
Zzzzz—!!!
Immediately, a metallic whistling sound ripped through the sky, bursting forth from Cang Nian's claws. Four consecutive snow-white arcs of light, like sword energy, shot straight into the sky until they disappeared.
"Although it didn't hit anything specific, it felt quite powerful."
It can't compare to the second-level overlimit burst, but it more than doubles the power of my melee attacks.
Furthermore, it has developed a ranged attack method that can be used at will.
Unlike the Overlimit Burst and Lung Golden Sword Qi, which require careful planning and usage, it doesn't need to be used in such a limited way.
"Great! This really complements my combat style, allowing me to fight more freely from now on!"
Cangnian was quite satisfied as he watched the attack recede into the distance.
His previous combat style involved using free attributes to deal with regular battles, and using overlimit bursts to deal with powerful enemies.
However, the difference between the two fighting styles is too great, resulting in his combat power being either very average or at the level of instant kill.
Now, with the seventh-tier skill "Mountain Opening" from this system, actively providing spiritual power to the claw blades allows them to unleash a destructive effect similar to sword energy, possessing considerable power while also being a ranged attack.
Most importantly, it's not a one-time use per battle!
As long as the spiritual energy isn't used up, it can be used continuously!
