Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 998 The Hunter's Illustrated Guide

"My dear daughter, how will you know if you don't try?"

Lorthern clearly had a different view: "You have to understand, this world is cold and heartless. Men are like fires, and women are like hedgehogs huddled around them warming themselves. The bigger the fire, the more hedgehogs can get along..."

"If Gangxin had no feelings for you, why would he help you time and time again? There must be some qualities in you that he particularly values."

Saracia said weakly, "After thinking it over, I think what Steelheart values ​​is probably my status as the heir of the Silverwind family... Steelheart is the lord of an indigenous planet. His homeworld has just relocated here, and he still has conflicts with Burning Ash. He probably wants to find some allies in the Silverheart Great World. He has also befriended some Gaia Major Generals from Furnace Star..."

Lorthern slapped his thigh: "See, I told you there must be a reason. A conflict with the Ember? That's even better. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Those lunatics from the Ember are fighting for territory all over the Black Land and they also have a grudge against the Green Alliance. Steelheart has a grudge against them, so aren't they natural allies? And you, my daughter, my pride, you are the best candidate for the family to form an alliance with Steelheart."

“But…” Saracia wanted to argue.

Lorthern's expression turned cold: "I know you're thinking about a spirit plant apprentice named Bai Yujing. Besides being a little good-looking, what good qualities does he have? He's not even a fraction as good as Gangxin! Bai Yujing disappeared because he was sensible enough to know he wasn't good enough for the Silver Wind family's heir. Saracia, you need to understand your own value to the family and the Green Alliance!"

“I understand, Dad,” Saracia said, bowing her head.

Lorthorn's tone softened: "You're very good, Saracia. To celebrate your advancement to an Evolver, I've selected a set of gold equipment and several Tier 2 skill books for you. It's a pity you didn't get the Hero Template, so you can't use the Dark Gold equipment for now. But that's alright, once the main storyline world is finalized, you'll still have a chance to advance to the Hero Template. The daughter of the Silverwind family can't lose to a woman from a native planet."

……

In Bai Pu's room at Gaia Building.

The two witches opened their eyes one after the other and found that Bai Pu had already completed the skill evaluation and was sitting there studying the strategy.

"Xiao Bai! What skills did you set?" Wu Qingyun ran over skillfully and hugged Bai Pu's neck from behind.

Feeling the heavy, bulging pressure behind him, Bai Pu patted Xiao Wu's fair arm: "I chose four skills, all of which are frequently used in combat. Including the class skill [Four Symbols True Meaning Domain], I have a total of five second-tier skills. I feel like I can learn one or two more skills, but let's leave some room for now."

Of the four skills Bai Pu chose, [Four Symbols Appearance] and [Blazing Shell] are mandatory. [Blazing Shell] is designated as a sixth-grade skill, while [Four Symbols Appearance] is a fifth-grade skill.

After upgrading from a Tier 1 skill to a Tier 2 skill, the skill gains a "guaranteed priority" and its stats undergo considerable changes.

For example, the guaranteed priority of [Blazing Shell] is 18 points. Anyone, even an evolved being with a normal template, can achieve the effect of 18 priority points after learning the [Blazing Shell] skill. However, Bai Pu's base priority is 19, and with the Doomsday Spear, it can reach 21. Therefore, when he uses [Blazing Shell], it is no longer 18 priority points, but 21 points!
The minimum priority for the [Four Symbols Appearance] is 20 points.

In addition, Bai Pu also selected a movement skill, [Crimson Lotus Steps], and a control skill, [Dimensional Grip]. Both of these skills were upgraded to Rank 6. As for [Four Heavenly Dragon Techniques], it is an additional passive effect of the master-level combat specialty and is not included in the skill list.

It's worth mentioning the professional skill [Four Symbols True Meaning Domain]. Bai Pu can now materialize the Four Symbols totems, reaching a point where the fake becomes real. This True Meaning Domain is actually a fourth-grade skill, with a guaranteed priority of 22 points!
"22 priority points, fourth-grade domain... while my 'Reverse Life True Qi Shield' is only designated as sixth-grade, with 18 priority points."

Wu Mingyue asked, "How is the priority calculated in the domain confrontation of evolved beings? It seems to be different from that of awakened beings."

"The domain battles among evolved beings are based on a 50/50 efficiency ratio for each side. For every 1 point of higher priority, the dominant side gains an additional 10% of domain efficiency, while the subordinate side loses 10% of its domain efficiency," Bai Pu explained.

"So, within your Four Symbols True Meaning Domain, when I activate the 'Reverse Life True Qi Shield,' it only has 10% effect? ​​Your Four Symbols True Meaning Domain retains 90% of its effect?" Wu Mingyue was greatly frustrated.

Bai Pu said, "This is normal. It's the standard difference between the lord and the chief (warrior) templates. Generally speaking, three enhanced warrior domains combined can rival a lord; but for warrior domains, it would take about nine people working together to contend with a lord."

However, this is only an ideal situation. The more people there are, the more precise the coordination is needed to ensure stable energy flow, unite against external threats, and prevent infighting within one's own territory.

Therefore, the world of Evolvers has also given rise to "Array Studies," which is a discipline in which a group of relatively weak Evolvers unite to set up arrays to fight against powerful Evolvers.

Wu Mingyue's other combat skills were, of course, [Scale Water Shield] and [True Water Transformation Spell].

These two are originally second-tier skills, spoils of war from the first-tier awakened stage, and can be used for quality assessment to upgrade their grade. If the source is a gift from an evolved being, then they cannot be used for quality assessment.

[Scale Water Shield] and [True Water Transformation Spell] were originally a Rank 9 skill and a Rank 8 skill, respectively. After the rank was determined, one was upgraded to Rank 6 and the other to Rank 5, and their values ​​were also improved. The key point is that the guaranteed priority was increased.

Wu Mingyue also chose a soft control skill, "Azure Tide," and a movement skill, "Wave-Riding." The former can guide and deflect energy attacks, while the latter can cast spells while moving, and has the ability to add effects such as acceleration and evasion. Both were ultimately set at the seventh rank.

As for Wu Qingyun, her four combat skills are: [Vortex Strike], which was downgraded from a ninth-grade skill to a sixth-grade skill; [Floating World Silence], [Blood Melting Silk], and [Severing Vein Whirlwind Thrust], which were originally first-grade skills. Now, [Floating World Silence] has been downgraded to a sixth-grade skill, while the other skills have been downgraded to a seventh-grade skill.

It's worth mentioning that Wu Qingyun's professional skill [Dragon Hunter Mark] was fortunately mutated during the quality determination process, turning into a growth-type skill [Hunter's Compendium]!
[Hunter's Compendium: Rank 5 Mutant Skill. You can add target prey to your compendium for tracking (requires the target's blood, hair, item scent, etc.). You can obtain information about the target and understand its weaknesses. During tracking, your movement speed is increased by (118) points, and no slowing skill can reduce your movement speed below normal.]
