Chapter 777: Exclusive Skill
When Lin Yuan saw Silver Corona’s three exclusive skills, he could not help but inhale sharply.
Although Silver Corona was a carcinoma fey that had transformed, it was still a fey that was inclined toward carnage.
Lin Yuan felt that all three exclusive skills would spread copious carnage.
The three exclusive skills were:
[Hanging Devil’s Soul]: The target that Bone Lotus Flowers have attacked will have its soul trapped within the Bone Lotus Flower’s bone soul. The bone soul will have a cursing effect and use the powers of the dead to curse the living. The aura of the dead will be used to suppress the living’s vitality.
[Hermit’s Dead Servant]: The Bone Lotus Flower will absorb the target’s body when attacking it. 1% of the target’s power will be injected into the target’s soul to cause the target to be pregnant with its dead soul. The dead soul will consume itself, and when the Bone Lotus Flowers gain 36 hermit dead servants, every hermit dead servant will be able to create a layer of mist over the Bone Lotus Flowers.
[Parasitic Bone Seed]: The Sea Burial Lotus Flower’s Sobbing Sea Crystals will become a parasitic seed that will be planted in bone. When the Sea Burial Lotus Flower activates the seed, the energy in the seed will be released into the bone to increase the bone’s strength.
Lin Yuan felt that all three exclusive skills were impressive.
However, after some comparison, Lin Yuan decided to give up on Parasitic Bone Seed.
In every living being, bones only served the purpose of supporting and protecting organs.
When the bone that Parasitic Bone Seed hardened suffered physical damage, the bone would be able to sustain heavy attacks.
If Lin Yuan chose Parasitic Bone Seed, his much lacking defense would be supplemented.
Lin Yuan’s defense would be perfectly formed when used in conjunction with Genius’ Spiritual Energy Expansion and the Ethereal Jellyfish’s Spatial Shift.
However, Parasitic Bone Seed required the use of one Sobbing Sea Crystal every time the ability was used. As such, Parasitic Bone Seed would be too precious to utilize.
Moreover, Lin Yuan needed to use the Sobbing Sea Crystals to evolve the Jasmine Lily.
Lin Yuan also could not accept having a parasitic seed embedded in his body.
Although Parasitic Bone Seed was a support-type ability, Lin Yuan still felt uncomfortable about it.
Hanging Devil’s Soul and Hermit’s Dead Servant appeared to be similar, but there were vast differences between them.
No matter which of the two exclusive skills Lin Yuan chose, the Sea Burial Lotus Flower would be destined to use the sea of flowers as its main combat attack on land.
However, the Sea Burial Lotus Flower’s combat style was very different from Red Thorn’s.
Red Thorn’s sea of flowers was more lively and could be used in any battle.
However, the Sea Burial Lotus Flower’s sea of flowers needed a piece of land where the living targets’ souls could be absorbed to increase the sea of flowers’ power.
If Red Thorn’s Sea of Flowers was thought of as a weapon, the Sea Burial Lotus Flower’s would be more like a defensive attack mechanism that had to be rooted to a base.
Since Lin Yuan planned on going to the Divine Wood Federation, he would be able to plant many Bone Lotus Flowers around his base there.
This would allow his base at the Divine Wood Federation to become a restricted area.
Restricted areas always attracted risk-takers.
There was a saying that curiosity killed the cat.
Cats might have nine lives, but spirit qi professionals only had one.
Once news of the restricted area spread, there would be an endless stream of people who would take the risk and end up helping the Sea Burial Lotus Flower increase its power.
In order for the news of the restricted area to spread, many people had to die at the hands of the Sea of Flowers first.
As the Sea of Flowers’ power increased, there would also be even stronger individuals who stepped forward to take the risk.
Lin Yuan felt that this idea of his made him seem like some kind of Demon Lord that awaited for brave souls to challenge him.
Frankly, Silver Corona’s exclusive skills did not need to take the life of spirit qi professionals. Another good method would be to find an active dimensional rift and build a base there instead of extracting dimensional lifeforms out of the dimensional rift.
The endless supply of dimensional lifeforms would feed and sustain the sea of flowers.
When this thought struck Lin Yuan, he decided which of the two exclusive skills he would choose.
He felt that Hermit’s Dead Servant was better suited to the combat system that Lin Yuan had in mind for Silver Corona.
Hanging Devil’s Soul was not weak. In fact, it was much better at nurturing souls than Hermit’s Dead Servant.
Hanging Devil’s Soul could trap a dead target’s soul in the Bone Lotus Flowers, but there would not be much damage done to the soul.
Hermit’s Dead Servant could only incorporate 1% of the target’s power into the soul and form a dead soul in the Bone Lotus Flower.
This meant that Hanging Devil’s Soul would be much better at increasing the effectiveness of the sea of flowers.
However, Hanging Devil’s Soul was not as premium as a form of nurturing the dead soul.
Since Lin Yuan wanted to create a sea of flowers outside of his base at the Divine Wood Federation to make it into a restricted area, he needed a strong entity to defend the area.
As the sea of flowers killed more living creatures, the powers of the 36 dead servants would continue to climb as well.
This would form a cycle of support between the Bone Lotus Flowers.
Lin Yuan was also very interested in the dead servants’ ability to create a mist over a battleground.
The mist would cover the entire sea of flowers and hide it.
A restricted area was dubbed as so because it was kept very secretive.
If they could be seen clearly, it would be considered a dangerous area instead of a restricted area.
Lin Yuan made a decision and said to the waiting Silver Corona, “Silver Corona, choose Hermir’s Dead Servant!”
