NOVEL NEXT Chapter 224: Hand of Residual Fire
"I'm the third. Then who are the first and second? Fenrir the Wild Wolf and the Flower Witch?"
"Is anyone here?"
Chen Qi called out while walking along the dusty road, looking around the vast collection hall, but saw no one.
Soon, Chen Qi's gaze irresistibly fell upon the various display stands.
On the left stands, there were daggers, flintlocks, cards, hand crossbows...
A variety of old-era weapons were neatly arranged on the stands.
On the right stands, there were some skill cards: Burst, Double Jump, Life Breath, Moon Step, Finger Gun, Iron Block...
Can I pick any weapon and an extra skill card?
Chen Qi, carrying Deep Sea Water Elf No.3 in his left hand, bent slightly to examine the weapons and cards.
Although these weapons were all kept here, they weren't powerful; at best, they were on par with Black Blades.
The skill cards were all just D or E-tier skills dropped from cracks.
These cards and weapons are no good...
Chen Qi shook his head, following the path under his feet and the candlelight, soon arriving at a huge central display stand.
From the structure of the building, this display stand was at the central position, with four giant armored warrior statues beside the surrounding pillars.
On the large swords held by these four statues, blazing flames were burning.
The central location, the items here should be much more valuable... Chen Qi looked on curiously.
At the very center of the display stand, there was a small rectangular groove.
A groove for a rectangular card—it felt somehow familiar... Chen Qi extended his finger to compare.
The size of this card seemed to be exactly the same as the one Fen had for the Witch Occupation Card!
A Witch Occupation Card had once been placed here?
The Witch Occupation Card had already been taken...
Chen Qi felt his suspicion confirmed.
So, the Blade Witch's Occupation Card had been taken, and previously, the Blood Emperor had come to this place... Chen Qi faintly understood something, then turned to look at the surrounding items.
Around where the Witch Occupation Card had been, there were some even more powerful weapons.
Gold Small Shield, Useless Big Stick, Bug-controlling Staff, Gargoyle Mask...
Chen Qi carefully examined them one by one.
The rarity of these weapons was high; one even had the power to transform its user into a vampire—a divine artifact for humans following the Blood Mage path!
However, these weren't of much use to Chen Qi at the moment.
This crack had existed for over five hundred years...
During this long time, it seemed there wasn't any universally good weapon left for me. Stay tuned to empire
Ultimately, this was just a C-tier crack...
Good news, there's 'gold'!
Bad news, this 'gold' seemed to be nobody's mascots!
Chen Qi sighed and turned his attention to a display stand full of skill cards.
If weapons and items won't work, can I at least get some useful skill cards?
On the skill card display, according to the Thirteen Nature Forms, they were divided into thirteen sections.
The slot for the Blade Phase skill cards was long empty.
This place was bleak too!
Suddenly, Chen Qi's eyes lit up.
On the Lamp Phase and Shadow Phase stands, there were still high rarity skill cards!
Good stuff—
Chen Qi immediately focused on a skill card in the Lamp Phase section.
On the front of the card, there was a small golden figure with a glowing head, massaging his temples with his two fingers.
Chen Qi gently touched it.
[Super Sensation:
Nature Form: Lamp, Flower
Description: The original Flower Witch, under the order of Moonstone City's Lord, started researching ancient books to develop meditation methods for experiencing extreme pleasure.
However, by accident, she didn't create the intended technique but developed a combat method that intensely mesmerized the Lamp Phase practitioners.
Learning conditions: Master meditation, have inspiration at 60, and possess slight mental resistance along with slight Lamp Phase or Flower Phase comprehension.
Effect: After acquiring the skill, your brain's reaction time limit permanently increases, and after practicing, you also gain slight mental resistance.
Additionally, you'll obtain the active skill 'Super Sensation,' where, during activation, all fast-moving objects around you will appear slowed down in your eyes!
Description: In a brief moment, I can even catch the sound of the wind.
Note: Upon activating the active skill, there is a chance of gaining uncontrolled 'Pleasure Enhancement' for up to an hour, randomly heightening touch, taste, and hearing sensations. Overuse in a short period may lead to the 'Lamp Phase' madness path or permanent sensory disorders.]
Enhanced reaction ability, along with highly useful mental resistance!
Chen Qi's eyes lit up.
This was a purely enhancement-focused skill card!
Enhanced reaction ability was a must-have attribute for many third-order Transcendents!
The third-order Lamp Phase Transcendent's lamp solution 'Bullet Time' also demanded extremely high reaction speed.
Moreover, after practicing, one could gain rare mental resistance.
Mental resistance was an essential attribute for releasing many liberation skills.
But the skill's threshold was also very high, with 60 points of inspiration plus slight mental resistance.
60 points of inspiration and slight mental resistance were enough to keep many third-tier Lamp Phase Transcendents outside the door.
However, with 65 points of inspiration, Chen Qi perfectly met the skill's usage requirements!
This was already quite a powerful skill card in a C-tier crack.
The only downside was the strong side effects...
