I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1482 - Chapter 1482 Chapter 1484 Reward

Chapter 1482: Chapter 1484: Reward Chapter 1482: Chapter 1484: Reward Xiao Jingshan didn’t pay much attention to juniors like Song Jian; he simply nodded his head slightly towards him before shifting his gaze elsewhere.

His eyes looked into the distance, towards the location of the Xuan Tian Sect.

At this time, the Xuan Tian Sect commanded a leadership status on the Starry Sky Battlefield, welcoming numerous prodigies of the Human Race into the starry domain. Among them, quite a few who were valued by the Xuan Tian Sect were taken in as disciples. Xiao Jingshan stood by quietly waiting here, also temporarily acting as the protector of these Human Race prodigies, preventing other races’ powerful warriors from attacking and slaughtering them.

Song Jian had great respect for a senior like Xiao Jingshan. It was well-known that if it were an elder from another sect, they would probably block these individuals from entering, allowing only the youths of their own sect to seek out opportunities.

And yet, Xiao Jingshan had let them enter without hesitation. His magnanimity and spirit were incomparable, which was also one of the reasons why the Xuan Tian Sect could become a leading sect in the Starry Sky Battlefield.

Song Jian glanced at the Pet Space, smiled faintly, and stepped towards the Light Pillar Portal, vanishing in an instant.

Upon entering the space of inheritance, darkness surrounded him with only the faint glow of a fire visible. It seemed he was in a hall of a palace, with thick stone columns all around him. Each column was carved with countless reliefs, all illustrating scenes of battle, with the same person being the protagonist on different columns. The entities being hunted varied on each column, but what was consistent was their horrifying and fierce appearances.

Song Jian was somewhat speechless; the master of this inheritance space seemed to be somewhat narcissistic, but there was no doubt his strength was absolutely formidable!

Looking up, there was nothing but darkness above, with only specks of light twinkling like stars in the night sky. The tops of the stone columns were all obscured by the darkness, indistinct.

“Xin Ling entered before me, how come she’s not here?” Song Jian frowned slightly, thinking to himself.

Just at that moment, the lamps on the surrounding stone columns and walls suddenly blazed brilliantly, illuminating the entire hall!

A phantom, identical to the protagonist in the murals on the stone columns, appeared before Song Jian.

It could be seen that this phantom wore a purple-gold crown, clad in a purple python-patterned Daoist robe, and stepped on Seven-Star Daoist boots. He had handsome features, appeared to be in his thirties, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and a pair of eyes filled with a sense of vicissitudes, gave off the impression of a venerable elder.

“You are the fifth person to enter the place of inheritance, and it seems you are the strongest of them all…” The phantom stared at Song Jian and said emotionlessly, “Those who enter ahead of time are fated to me and will receive a gift. You may choose one of the following options as a reward for your early entry!”

After speaking, a semi-transparent system screen appeared in front of Song Jian, displaying several options:

System: Please choose one and only one of the following options as your reward for early entry:

Option One: Receive five thousand merits;

Option Two: Receive a golden skill point;

Option Three: Level up by one;

Option Four: Upgrade any single skill by one level (Note: Excludes Aura Skills, Innate Skills, Domain Skills, and Law Skills);

Option Five: Receive five free attribute points;

Option Six: Increase maximum Vitality Points by 10%;

Option Seven: Increase maximum Mental Strength by 10%;

Option Eight: Comprehend a vocational skill of gold rank or higher;

…

There were a total of eight options, each filled with temptation for Song Jian. Five thousand merits might sound insignificant, but considering Guo Xiao and others had gathered just over a thousand merits after fighting a legendary realm powerhouse, it highlighted the allure. Split evenly each would get only three to four hundred merits; thus, achieving five thousand merits would require slaying three to four legendary realm fighters, and that too intact ones. The One-Eyed Demon King, for example, with an eye destroyed, the remains would probably fetch at most seven to eight hundred merits, far from a thousand. This made it clear just how tempting these five thousand merits were for someone below the Legendary Realm.

A Golden Skill Point was not even worth mentioning, for only a Golden Skill Point could raise the level of a talent skill. Song Jian’s Immortal Body had reached full proficiency a long time ago, but couldn’t be upgraded due to the lack of a Golden Skill Point!

Advancing one level might seem of little value, but for a player who already surpassed level one hundred, it takes at least a few months of monster hunting to accumulate the combat experience for just one level, something many players simply cannot persist with.

Five free attribute points, equivalent to five Attribute Fruits, are also rewards worth over ten million Doomsday Coins.

While leveling up any skill by one rank can’t be applied to Aura Skills, Talent Skills, Domain Skills, or Law Skills, Song Jian’s Thousand Swords Art could be elevated to an extremely high level. To upgrade it further, he either needed to continue slaying Legendary Realm powerhouses, utilizing the Sword Qi Stone Tower to soul snatch, or collect the consumable techniques relied upon by legends, each of which, for Song Jian, was no easy feat.

Moreover, Song Jian possessed legendary skills such as the Chaos Sword Canon and the Sword Array Atlas, and for each, an upgrade of one level represented a massive enhancement to his strength.

As for the increase in upper limit of Vitality Points and Spirit Points, they were life-saving attributes for Song Jian, always welcomed no matter how many he had;

The last reward, a Gold-tier skill for his own profession, might seem insignificant at a glance. However, keep in mind that Song Jian was a Sword Master who had only two or three professional skills: Thousand Swords Art, Sword Qi Formation, and Sword Flight Art. Skills like Sword Shadow Clone and Azure Dragon Sword Body were not innate to Sword Masters, so acquiring another professional skill would be a very attractive prospect for Song Jian.

Faced with numerous rewards, yet allowed to select only one, Song Jian hesitated for a moment.

“Senior, do those who enter the first few places all get the same rewards?” Song Jian couldn’t help but ask.

“The earlier the entry, the more fated you are with me. The first place may pick three out of fifteen rewards, second to fourth places may choose two out of twelve, fifth to eighth can select one from eight options, while ninth to one hundredth will only receive one random reward!” the phantom explained indifferently.

Song Jian was momentarily taken aback, but a faint smile then appeared on his face. These rewards were indeed tempting, but having more choices wouldn’t result in a qualitative change in his power.

“I accept my fate with what’s given and what’s taken,” Song Jian said lightly, tapping gently on the semi-transparent screen to pick the option to raise any skill by one level;

Subsequently, all the skills in his skill bar appeared in front of him;

Immortal Body (Talent Skill), level 2, greyed out and unupgradeable;

Holy Sword (Talent Skill), level 3, greyed out and unupgradeable;

Endless Hunt (Aura Skill), level 1, greyed out and unupgradeable;

…

Among some skills that couldn’t be raised were many that hadn’t reached max level and could be upgraded.

Karmic Fire Red Lotus Thousand Swords Art (Mutated Skill), level 18, upgradable;

Sword Array Atlas (Legendary Skill), level 3, upgradable;

Chaos Sword Canon (Legendary Skill), level 1, upgradable;

Five Elements Escape Skill of Wood, level 6, upgradable;

…

Song Jian glanced over and excluded all the non-upgradable skills, then gently tapped on the Chaos Sword Canon.

In an instant, a scorching breath rolled and surged within Song Jian’s dantian like an eruption of magma, flowing towards his limbs and bones at an incredibly fast speed. His body surface manifested streaks of dark red lines, like a blood and nerve distribution map, spreading throughout his entire body.
