I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1180 - Chapter 1180 Chapter 1182 Immortal Body_1

Chapter 1180: Chapter 1182: Immortal Body_1 Chapter 1180: Chapter 1182: Immortal Body_1 Song Jian now had two talent skills, one was Thick-skinned, and the other was Holy Sword, one for defense and the other for attack, both of which were incredibly powerful.

During the first assessment at the Ascent to Heaven Stairs, due to the effects of the gravity array and Blood Loss Array, the level 10 maxed out Thick-skinned skill mutated. Thus, the Thick-skinned skill had disappeared, replaced by a dark gold-colored nebula in the first slot of the talent skills. All attributes of the Thick-skinned skill vanished, as if something was being incubated.

So much time had passed without any change; it wasn’t Song Jian’s first encounter with such a situation. Many skills, when undergoing mutation or upgrade, would manifest in this way. However, never before had he come across a state that lasted so long and persisted for such duration.

“Perhaps the energy required for the mutation of a talent skill is too great, resulting in the mutation not being completed…” Song Jian mused to himself and decided to use the Talent Bead directly.

Soon, two options appeared before Song Jian’s eyes: one was to enhance the talent skill Holy Sword, and the other was to upgrade the unknown talent skill.

The power of the Holy Sword talent skill was immense, especially once it triggered the “Indestructible” effect. Items of Epic Quality or below could be cut in two with one strike, and for living beings, it amounted to an instantaneous death effect.

Currently, the Holy Sword talent skill was only at level one with a small chance of triggering. If he could raise it several levels, the activation chance would undoubtedly increase significantly.

After hesitating for a long time, Song Jian decided to use the Talent Bead on the unknown talent skill that had emerged due to the mutation of the Thick-skinned skill.

Once he made his selection, the Talent Bead immediately transformed into a beam of white light that rushed into Song Jian’s forehead, causing him to heat up all over, as if he was in a massive steamer. Hot air emitted from every pore on his body, and he looked like a cooked shrimp with reddened skin.

Unable to help himself, Song Jian let out a painful moan and fell to the ground, slipping into a semi-conscious state.

Xin Ling, who was standing by, jumped in fright and quickly stepped back, looking at Song Jian with a wary face. Fortunately, the mutation occurring on Song Jian’s body soon dissipated, and a cool sensation surged from his mind, instantly spreading to every part of his body. Song Jian quickly came out of the semi-conscious state, his face filled with fear as he checked over his body.

The transformation by the Talent Bead seemed to be occurring at the genetic level. Completely unprepared for this change, Song Jian had no resistance, and everything happened in an instant. Before even sensing any danger, his consciousness had fallen into darkness.

In the talent skill slot, the Thick-skinned skill had disappeared, replaced by a brand-new talent skill “Immortal Body.”

“Immortal Body (Talent Skill), Level 1, Passive. Skill Effects: All attributes +10, physical defense increased by 50%, magic resistance increased by 80%, immunity to negative effects of Epic Quality or below, body as hard as steel, forcibly reducing each instance of damage by 100 points, immune to damage below 100 points; recovery speed increased by 50%, removal of weak points on critical areas such as the brain and heart, significantly increased resistance to instant death effects, a certain chance to trigger rapid recovery when taking damage, all wounds recovery rate increased by 300% within 10 seconds; this talent skill has domain-limited level. Skill Description: Undying and indestructible, the origin of all laws! This talent skill can only be enhanced with golden skill points;”

After reading the mutated talent skill from Thick-skinned, Song Jian couldn’t help inhaling sharply. This was practically progressing him towards becoming an “indestructible cockroach.”

Looking at the Immortal Body skill glowing with purple-gold light, Song Jian’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. A significant increase in defense, resistance, immunity, and recovery abilities, removal of fatal weaknesses, and a rapid recovery effect, with all these improvements, as long as his enemies were not too much stronger than him, they might very well be worn down to death by Song Jian. Moreover, considering the astonishing lethality of his Thousand Swords Art, Song Jian even felt confident enough to challenge the Flame King in the Scorching Gorge to a duel.

“A golden-quality orb, and you’re this happy?” Xin Ling looked at Song Jian, who was cracking up like a fool, and couldn’t help but speak up, bewildered.

“Slurp~” Song Jian wiped his drool and glanced sideways at Xin Ling, couldn’t help but snort inwardly, “What do you know, little girl? Right now, if I stood here and let you hit me, you wouldn’t even be able to touch me, you know!”

Song Jian pouted and, without saying much, turned around and walked toward the edge of Sword Pond Lake to continue gathering Red Sword Grass and practicing the Medicine Gathering Skill.

This time, the haul was massive. Just the Chaotic Bone Blade Sword Body alone was sure to exchange for many treasures at the Imperial Sword Sect. After all, it was a fourth-level sword body, a thing that could make one soar to the skies. Even an ordinary person who possessed it could immediately become an official disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect, without undergoing any assessment. And that golden-quality skill, Wind Chasing Sword Skill, seemed impressive too. It consisted of nine sword moves, including single-target and area attacks, as well as moves that enhance one’s state–a comprehensive set. If sold at the Imperial Sword Sect, the price could at least triple.

Furthermore, having the Thick Skin skill upgraded to the Immortal Body significantly increased Song Jian’s strength. Thinking about this, Song Jian’s gaze couldn’t help but fall on the Holy Sword, this talent skill.

You have to understand that Holy Sword, this talent skill, was much stronger than “Thick Skin.” The most obvious point was that during regular battles, the proficiency of this talent skill wouldn’t increase at all. It only improved by one or two points when the “Indestructible” effect was triggered. Since obtaining this talent, the proficiency had only reached around 87%, and he had no idea how long it would take to level up to the second rank.

But with such a powerful skill, to level it up to max and not to mention letting it mutate to continue improving was bound to be exceptionally difficult.

The night passed in this manner, and Song Jian’s Medicine Gathering Skill also reached master level seven. While the two were immersed in their work, two figures suddenly appeared on the horizon, and in no time, Duan Jian and Gu Luo appeared before them.

“Eh, mentors, why have you come?” Song Jian asked, puzzled. Because of their assessment, the area around Sword Pond Lake had been temporarily sealed off. All disciples were barred from entering, a measure to prevent cheating by the disciples taking the test.

But the assessment time hadn’t arrived yet, and by rights, these two mentors shouldn’t have come here.

“The assessment is over. You two have passed. Now follow us to the sect,” Duan Jian said with a stern face.

Song Jian and Xin Ling looked puzzled. Xin Ling turned her gaze to Gu Luo.

Gu Luo nodded at her and said, “There’s been an invasion by external enemies; it’s not safe here anymore. First, go to the main hall of the sect. After repelling the invaders, we’ll hold the ceremony to officially take you as disciples!”
