Chapter 62: Derivative Skills Brought by Blood Burn

After testing Mo Hao's qi and blood, Xiahou Wu let him go back to his room to rest.

He knew that killing a professional extraordinary person would be an extremely physically and mentally exhausting task for Mo Hao, who was still a student.

And Xiahou Wu estimated that he would have to write another lesson plan after returning to school.

Mo Hao's progress has far surpassed that of other students, or in other words, he is now at the level of a freshman or even sophomore.

According to statistics, the average time for students' qi and blood to reach the limit of 200 calories is in their freshman year, and the average time for them to break through the human body's limits and become extraordinary professionals is in their sophomore year.

As for examples of people killing extraordinary people in the face of adversity, there are even fewer records.

At the same time, Xiahou Wu was worried about how to write lesson plans, and began to think about how to help students overcome the various troubles before the college entrance examination.

The fact that Mo Hao had killed Chaofan could probably not be concealed, but he was currently at an important stage, so Xiahou Wu did not intend to let others interfere with his students at this time.

It must be said that Xiahou Wu was surprised to meet such a student the first time he became a teacher.

And he really hopes that Mo Hao will rank among the top in the college entrance examination, or even win the championship.

In this way, he would have the capital to laugh at those friends who mocked Xiahou Wu when they knew that he was going to be a teacher for a while.

I must go back and give them a stern look.

……

After returning to the room, Mo Hao did not rest.

He directly took out the reward for the mission, which was a sword with a scabbard and a scarlet blade.

The blade was burning red like a branding iron, and the heat could be felt even from a distance.

I reached out and grasped the handle of the knife, but I didn't feel any heat, as if the handle was isolating the heat that the blade should have.

With the blade facing upwards, take out a piece of paper and place it on top of the blade and release it. Under the action of gravity, the paper will be directly cut in half by the blade.

The cut was smooth without any burrs, and then the fire started to burn from the cut. After a while, the two pieces of paper were ignited, and then they were extinguished by the prepared cup of water.

"nice one!"

Mo Hao couldn't help but admire that if he had this weapon in his hand when dealing with Tie Yixiong, he would definitely not need to take risky measures and risk being electrocuted to death by using the transformer box to eliminate the enemy.

Tie Yixiong was so incredibly strong under the protection of the Golden Bell Cover and the Iron Shirt that even the violent punch from the Phantom Ghost could not break him.

This equipment with attribute enchantments can enhance the lethality of Mo Hao or Huan Gui.

The lethality of being bare-handed and being armed with a knife are not on the same level.

[Name: Mo Hao]

[Soul Furnace LV2 (0/700): A forbidden magic that plunders the life force, blood, and bone marrow from the killing, strengthening the recipient into a weapon of war that slaughters everything.]

[Ghost Transformation LV2 (0/600): The dark side of the soul transforms into an evil ghost. Is it an illusionary ghost, or a ghost walking in the human world? 】

[Blood Burning LV1 (0/10000): Burning blood to refine the body, devouring souls to forge the spirit, plundering is the essence of a Berserker. 】

[Bloodburn derivative skill - Death Resistance: The extreme desire for survival turns into the power to resist death.]

[PS: Derivative skills cannot be upgraded, and their levels are related to the main skills. ]

[Personal traits: full of energy and blood] [Identity preference: government office]

[Experience: 876]

【Death Defy】, Mo Hao was definitely not unfamiliar with this skill.

In the era of Arad Continent when the Poison Cat King and Luo Leikeno were still resurrection coin harvesters, blood potions were rare and had extremely long cooldown times, and even the amount of recovery was very small. Adventurers at that time did not have many effective means of recovery.

The Berserker's [Death Resistance] can be said to be a means of recovery at a critical moment, and the struggle on the brink of death can turn failure into victory.

When he saw these words at the same time, Mo Hao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After experiencing [Blood Burning], Mo Hao acquired some berserker-like characteristics, which gave rise to the skill [Death Resistance].

So is there a possibility that as long as he performs [Blood Burning] enough times, even if it is a failed [Blood Burning], he can unlock some abilities of the Berserker by doing so?
Blood frenzy, rampage, bloodthirstiness, blood-sucking power...

Many skills unique to the Berserker began to appear in Mo Hao's mind.

And he also knew that his idea had a good chance of being realized.

And the previous system information also made Mo Hao somewhat concerned.

"Killing Tie Yixiong can gain experience, so what is so special about him?"

Mo Hao has done a lot of killings, but only Tie Yixiong could gain experience from it.

There must be something different about him from the people Mo Hao had killed in the past.

Is it the power of the extraordinary professional? Or is it the identity of the gang leader?
In Mo Hao's opinion, both factors are very likely. Needless to say, the former is the most likely, as none of the people Mo Hao had killed before had reached the extraordinary level.

As for the latter, it was specifically mentioned in the system information that he gained experience by killing [Tie Lian Gang leader Tie Yixiong].

According to this idea, you may have to kill people with a certain status in order to gain experience.

People who do not have sufficient status and position may not even be worth providing experience.

At the same time, the increase in experience gave Mo Hao another chance to improve his skills, but this time he fell into deep thought.

Which skill should be improved?
After 876 experience, only one skill can be upgraded, and you must choose between [Soul Furnace] and [Demonization].

[Soul Furnace] has both offense and defense, and its passive characteristics are abilities that Mo Hao attaches great importance to.

Mo Hao also noticed the skill description on the panel. After reaching level 2, the description added a word about plundering bone marrow. Combined with the fact that his own bone marrow was also strengthened last night...

If this skill of [Soul Furnace] is upgraded to the maximum level, it might really be like its name suggests, taking away other people's souls and everything else.

But the effect of [Ghost Transformation] should not be underestimated. Even Tie Yixiong, who is a [Warrior] and has the double protection of the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt, and is so strong that no one can beat him, still fell into a disadvantage under the bombardment of the phantom ghost.

If he wasn't afraid that other people from Xiumu Town would come to disrupt the situation, and if Tie Yixiong was determined to escape, he might not be able to stop him.

Mo Hao could kill Tie Yixiong with just the Phantom Ghost, but that would take hours.

Precisely because it was difficult to kill Tie Yixiong in a short period of time, Mo Hao chose the most convenient and fastest method, to the point that even he himself was almost affected by the transformer box.

If the time drags on for too long, Xiumu Town is not an environment he is familiar with after all, and he doesn't know who will show up to interfere.

If Tie Yixiong escaped by chance, then everything he did yesterday would be in vain.
