Chapter 1081: Chapter 732 Beware of the People Around You

(The previous Chapter description was inaccurate, Thunderbolt Extreme Speed consumes physical strength value, and the damage reduction from Savior’s Blessing is 20.)

After choosing the upgrade path for the Hundred-Headed Shooter, Li Changhe turned his attention to his final reward, which was also the highlight of this haul.

There are four upgrade paths for the Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers, just like the first upgrade, also a choice of two out of four.

[Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers · King’s Banner]

[Strengthen the duration of the Undying Riders]

[Upgrading this path, the existence time of the Undying Riders will triple from the original duration.]

[Note: Where the King’s Banner stands, Stand Tall and Undefeated]

[Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers · Military Might]

[Confer Soldier Evil’s deterrence to the Undying Riders]

[Upgrading this path, the Undying Riders will be given a psychological deterrence effect.]

[Note: Insects, feel this vast military might!]

[Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers · Expedition]

[Enhance the Undying Riders’ endurance capability]

[Upgrading this path, each time an Undying Rider warrior is defeated or disappears, 50% of the energy consumed to summon them will be refunded.]

[Note: Our expedition has never stopped!]

[Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers · Fearless]

[Strengthen the Undying Riders’ individual combat ability]

[Upgrading this path, the attributes of the Undying Riders will be increased from 80% to 150%.]

[Note: All of us are fierce warriors of this world!]

At times like these, Li Changhe always felt he had developed a decision-making disorder.

How great it would be if he could get all of these at once.

Li Changhe sighed inwardly and began to analyze in detail.

With two choices out of four, there was a lot of room for Li Changhe to mix and match skills.

First was King’s Banner, with triple the duration, that wasn’t bad. Li Changhe could now spend 1% of his energy to summon three armored warriors, with the longest time just under two minutes. Using this path would greatly strengthen the Undying Riders.

As for Military Might... from the description, the effect seemed similar to that beast, the Three Corpses God’s Commanding Soldiers Skill.

The psychological deterrence effect could, indeed, quickly dissolve the enemy’s will to fight and destroy their morale on the battlefield. It would be excellent to use in combat.

But for players who have experienced dangerous battlefields, this kind of deterrence is not effective.

Take Qiu Wentian, for example, this kind of psychological deterrence would basically have little to no effect on her. With more encounters and experiences, she would not be easily influenced.

The path of Military Might, is to deal with war. On the battlefield, using psychological deterrence against those enemy forces. But its effectiveness is limited... the Three Corpses God’s Commanding Soldiers Skill was broken by Li Changhe’s Extraordinary Soldier Power.

The third path, Expedition, was very interesting from its description.

Every time an Undying Rider dissipated, it could in turn supply Li Changhe’s mental energy.

If Li Changhe expended 40% of his energy to summon 120 armored warriors, after battle, they could still recover half of his expenditure.

That would mean using 20% of my energy to summon 120 armored warriors, which greatly enhances the stamina of the Indomitable Ride. This is a must-choose!

Li Changhe thought to himself as he looked toward the last route.

Fearless, with a 150% attribute enhancement – if that could be applied to players, it would be terrifyingly powerful.

Unfortunately, the Indomitable Ride mainly relies on their thick steam armor and weapons. Attribute enhancements aren’t very cost-effective for them.

Their base attributes are already not high compared to Transcendents and players.

But if I choose this, Li Changhe believed the warriors’ reaction time would greatly increase.

As a result, they would be more dangerous when confronting Transcendents or players.

"Low-level players can’t stop your Indomitable Ride; they’d be directly trampled to death. Just like when you crushed that factory’s workers," Yun Ting advised, "And against high-level players, they have many ways to deal with the Indomitable Ride. Even if they can’t withstand a charge, they can still escape."

"Exactly, Fearless does increase attributes. But for armored warriors, an increase in attributes doesn’t enhance their combat strength by much," He Feng also spoke up, "They primarily rely on their steam armor."

"I understand the logic. Even a muscle-bound hulk, with high attributes, drives a car just like anyone else. So, I won’t consider the Fearless route," Li Changhe replied, "What I can confirm now is choosing Expedition. This will give me a higher margin for error in battle. As for the second one... I’ll go with King’s Banner."

"You’re not choosing Military Might to shock the enemy’s morale?" He Feng asked.

"No need for that. If we really come to blows, those whose morale is going to collapse will naturally do so. Those who refuse to give up will still fight me desperately. It’s better to extend the duration of the Indomitable Ride. In critical situations, a longer duration will allow me to recover better. Plus... I already have combinations in mind," Li Changhe said.

The King’s Banner would extend the duration of the Indomitable Ride, and as the Indomitable Ride took damage, Expedition would recover Li Changhe’s energy value, meanwhile triggering Dawn Prayer. A perfect combination!

Therefore, Li Changhe, in his consciousness, chose King’s Banner and Expedition.

After all the rewards were allocated, Li Changhe turned to He Feng and the others, "Does anyone want to practice? It would also be good for me to hone my skills."

Bai Luohe picked up Little Black and walked away.

"Does anyone still remember that this guy’s mission in entering Xuan City was actually to hone his skills?" Mr. Bai commented directly.

Xiang Wu outright refused, "You’re honing quite frequently. I don’t feel like sparring with you now! Once your bell cover comes down, I can only passively take hits! I had thought of trying to wear you out with my Defense Force, but now that you’ve enhanced yourself, I don’t plan on engaging with you. Speaking of which, isn’t your defense force about to surpass mine?"

"Actually, sparring with us isn’t very meaningful; we know each other too well. It’s overly specific," He Feng wasn’t willing to try either. His Elf Divinity wasn’t abundant, and he didn’t want to waste it on friendlies.

It was, after all, one of Li Changhe’s goals in entering Xuan City, to hone his Mythical State, as well as his "Next Time Be Careful" strategy.

Unfortunately, just as he was getting familiar with the Mythical State, the "Next Time Be Careful" strategy hadn’t even been used when new skills came up. So, he had to hone again.

Hence, Li Changhe understood his teammates’ attitudes.

Luckily, he was an official member’s family and also the junior master uncle of the Extraordinary Association.

Having them practice with him shouldn’t be a problem... right?

Li Changhe thought to himself and after chatting casually with the others for a bit, left the General Mountain base.

Upon exiting, he saw the Transcendent neighbor disguised as a peddler.

He was about to ask if the Extraordinary Association could arrange a few experts for him to spar with.

Then he heard the Transcendent speak in a low voice, "Junior Master Uncle, you need to be cautious these days. Keep a watchful eye on those around you. Even those close to you should be observed vigilantly."

"This... what do you mean? Are there enemies among my acquaintances?" Li Changhe was startled. That shouldn’t be, should it? There had been plenty of opportunities for those close to him to act against him. Could it be that someone had been bewitched by the Evil God?

"No, we don’t know who it is. We don’t even know whose circle has the issue. But we have determined this outcome. The scope is eventually narrowed down to the Nanzhe region," the Transcendent answered.

"You only determined to be vigilant about those around us without informing you of whom it concerns?" Li Changhe frowned, "Then so many people in the official ranks and the Extraordinary Association have to be careful around their acquaintances?"

"Yes, the official authorities are also investigating, but with only this hint, we struggle to find any clues. It’s quite frustrating..." the Transcendent spread his hands out, "Anyway, being cautious is always right. Pay more attention to whether those around you have had any unusual behavior recently. If it does occur, please be very careful, even if I display any anomaly. Please don’t hold back."
