Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

In the arena

Kane activated the magic power within him, which surged out of his body.

Once the magic power surged out, it transformed into golden light. The light solidified and attached to his skin, turning all his exposed skin golden.

His eyes also emitted golden light, and a ring of golden halo appeared behind his head, extending outward with five spikes.

Right now, Kane felt full of power, better than he'd ever felt before.

However, the magic power within him was being consumed rapidly, and he couldn't maintain this form for long.

But the external effect was indeed striking.

Kreya was dumbfounded beside him; this skill was really over the top, and could he just get it by thinking about it?

Kane then grabbed a handful of throwing knives, aimed at the wooden dummy in front, and threw them.

Because all damage was forcibly added with the Holy Light effect, the weapons he created were no longer transparent but emitted a faint white glow.

When the throwing knives stuck into the wooden dummy, the Holy Light on the blade disappeared, all rushing into the dummy's body.

A large hole was burnt in the middle of the wooden dummy's body.

Seeing the resulting effect, Kane was very satisfied.

Then he grabbed a long stick and pointed at Kreya, saying, "Let's practice."

Kreya smiled, picked up the wooden spear beside her, and charged forward.

The increase in physical attributes in the Divine Human State allowed Kane to easily fend off her attacks.

Combined with recent training, he could now go back and forth with Kreya in battle.

The number of exchanges grew, even though Kane was holding back, he still suppressed Kreya.

As Kane's Divine Human State gradually faded, Kreya used her high skill advantage to suppress him again.

Waiting for the magic power to run out, Kane exited the Divine Human State.

Subsequently, Kreya swung her spear, knocking him to the ground.

"Stop," Kane raised his hand, "I surrender."

Upon hearing Kane's words, Kreya halted her attack and walked over to help him up.

"Your skill is really powerful."

In the Divine Human State, Kane's strength, agility, and reaction all surpassed hers. If it weren't for her high skill advantage and Kane not exerting himself fully, she would have been defeated by him long ago.

After standing up, Kane dusted off the dirt on his body and then downed a bottle of Blue Potion to restore his magic power.

"Alright, but the consumption is too high."

Once the cooldown between skill switches passed, Kane swapped out the skill, putting back the previous skills.

It's not that he was dissatisfied with this skill, but it couldn't be permanent. Most of the time, it wouldn't be used.

As for its synergy with Origin Skills, it merely increased consumption out of thin air, granting created objects the Holy Light attribute.

It's better to store it in the Skill Warehouse, swapping it out when needed.

Directly entering the Divine Human State seems better for Kane.

Kane decided to do this in the future.

The Fast Reading skill stone went straight into the third tier, not useful in exploration and combat, but only in daily life, reading books, and research.

There was no synergy effect with Origin Skills either.

Now that the skill effects were tested, it was time to purchase new space equipment.

Turning to Kreya, he asked, "Accompany me to the Magic Shop."

Kreya's lips curled slightly, but with a hint of reluctance in her tone, said, "Alright."

Kane smiled slightly as well, leading Kreya out of the training ground.

Before long, they arrived at the only Magic Shop in town, which they had visited before.

As they pushed the door open, the shopkeeper inside was engrossed in organizing something.

Upon hearing someone enter, he immediately put on a bright smile, looking up.

Seeing it was the customers he served before, Kane and Kreya, his smile froze slightly.

But still, out of professional ethics, he came to greet them.

"What are you looking to choose this time, guests?"

Kane nodded to the shopkeeper and replied, "We want to buy two larger space storage equipment."

"How big is 'larger'?" the shopkeeper rubbed his hands.

Kane had already thought it through on the way here and directly said, "Two bag-shaped space equipment measuring 5m×5m×5m each."

The shopkeeper's enthusiasm skyrocketed, immediately ushering them inside to sit down.

He personally brought them two cups of drinks.

Next, he took out three different styled small bags from under the counter and walked over.

"These three types meet your needs; which one would you like?"

Kane looked at the three styles before him, thought for a moment.

Picked up the bags primarily white and gray in appearance.

"We'll take these two."

"Alright, alright," the shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.

"How much?"

The shopkeeper knew the nearby centaur was knowledgeable, so he didn't overcharge, instead directly stating the lowest price.

"A total of 40 Mist Coins."

For the shopkeeper, this was a big sale; even the basic commission was enough to make him happy.

Kane wasn't surprised by the price, having been discussed with Kreya on the way.

He took out 20 coins from his own pocket and another 20 from shared funds.

One equipment was for his own use, while the other was for storing some team-used items.

This way, they could avoid confusion.

Handing the Mist Coins to the shopkeeper, he picked up the equipment and left the shop.

The shopkeeper's voice called from behind, "Welcome back next time."

On the way back to the inn, Kane kept taking out team items from his space equipment and placing them in the gray bag.

Then he put his less frequently used items and equipment into the white bag.

The day was gradually turning to dusk.

Kane and Kreya walked along the town's street, as the season had shifted to fall, the breeze carrying a hint of coolness.

Their steps synchronized and slowed down.

Fallen leaves blown by the wind drifted from beside them.

The bustling explorers and shops around couldn't enter their world.

By the time they reached the back door of the inn, the sky had completely darkened.

They entered the lobby through the back door.

Since Burton had put up a closed sign, there were no guests in the inn at this time.

In the lobby, only Longbei and Meizike were bored, playing chess.

Seeing them, they waved at them.

Kane walked over and sat down, asking, "Where's Burton?"

"My brother's inside cooking."

Kane stood up and peered into the bar area, indeed seeing Burton busy inside.

Noticing his teammates all arrived, Longbei put away the chessboard and took out a deck of cards.

"Come, let's play for a while."

Everyone was somewhat bored, so they agreed.

"Where should we go first tomorrow?" Longbei arranged his cards and asked Kane.

"I'll go first," Kane showed the council card from his hand, "We'll head to Sokayamas first tomorrow, there's the Explorer's House there. We'll settle there first, and after Meizike crosses the Mist Gate, we'll head to the next dungeon."

With Kane having a clear plan, the teammates felt relieved.

Thus, they chatted and entertained themselves while waiting for Burton's big banquet to be ready.
