From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 29 Divine Evolution, Unlocking Skills
Su Muyu also reached level 8, and his perception increased to 19 points.

The average five-dimensional attribute of an ordinary adult is 10 points, and 19 points of perception is already a very high value.

Moreover, at this point in time, there are not many psychics who can reach this level.

Among the three demon crystal cores obtained by hunting abyss woodlice, in addition to [Corrosive Slime], there is also a skill crystal core, which is [Prism Tower Shield].

[Prism Tower Shield: Releases energy to form a prismatic tower shield to resist attacks. Skill duration: 3 seconds. Skill consumption: 20 energy points. Skill level: D level.]

This is a defensive skill, and a D-level skill with C-level defense, but it requires higher skills from the caster.

The advantage is high defense, but the disadvantage is also obvious, the duration is relatively short, only 3 seconds.

In other words, you cannot activate this skill in advance and then rush forward to kill.

This skill will only be effective if used the moment you are attacked.

Of course, you can also predict that you will be attacked within 3 seconds and use skills in advance.

Regardless of the method of use, it places high demands on the practitioner.

If it were someone else, Lu Heng might not be confident, but Su Muyu would definitely have no problem.

More importantly, [Prism Tower Shield] can work together with [Scout Eagle], and it can be a very powerful combination skill if used well.

Therefore, Lu Heng decided to let her learn this skill.

“You learn this skill.”

"Okay." Su Muyu crushed the crystal core, absorbed the crystal core energy, and learned a new skill.

She tried it out first, and then began to slowly study the effects of the skill.

She has her own understanding of the skills, and sometimes she can figure out how to use them on her own without Lu Heng teaching her.

"Hmm... This skill seems to be a bit difficult to use, and it only lasts for 3 seconds."

"Yes, so the timing of use needs to be very precise." Lu Heng nodded.

Su Muyu tested the skill again, frowned and said, "However, this skill can only be used near you. The shield energy can only reach a distance of one meter at most."

After she finished testing, she felt that the scope of use of this skill was very limited.

The maximum distance that [Prism Tower Shield] can appear from is one meter away from the player.

This means that this skill can basically only be used by herself and cannot be used by Lu Heng.

After all, when a fight broke out, it was impossible for Lu Heng to always keep a distance of one meter from her.

Lu Heng smiled and reminded: "No, this skill is indeed a close-range defense skill for others, but for you, it can be used remotely. Do you remember the skill linkage I taught you?"

"I understand." Su Muyu understood immediately.

In the Abyss Battlefield, she had already used the technique of skill linkage.

She has now learned three skills, namely [Scouting Eagle], [Invisibility Curtain] and [Prism Tower Shield].

Among the three skills, the one that can form a skill linkage and allow the [Prism Tower Shield] to perform long-range defense is naturally the [Scout Eagle].

Su Muyu raised his hand and pointed at the reconnaissance eagle in the air, using the [Prism Tower Shield] skill.

The energy of the Scout Eagle changed immediately, transforming into a prismatic shield.

No practice is needed, the first linkage using of the [Prism Tower Shield] skill was successful.

Lu Heng liked her talent more and more, and she could learn anything quickly.

Su Muyu began to draw inferences from one example and asked, "Then if I use the Scouting Eagle, can I use any skill remotely?"

Lu Heng nodded: "Except for some special skills, most of them are OK."

Su Muyu likes the skill of the scout eagle more and more: "It turns out that the scout eagle is so powerful."

Lu Heng reminded: "The skill linkage effect of the Scouting Eagle can indeed allow many skills to be activated remotely. However, using it in this way will consume the Scouting Eagle, which is equivalent to increasing the source energy consumption."

Su Muyu nodded thoughtfully, summarizing on her own: "So, skill linkage should be used in emergency situations, and energy should be conserved in normal times. Hmm...is this called 'mana control'?"

“You know quite a lot.”

Lu Heng found that teaching her fighting skills was quite easy. With just a little reminder, she would understand it on her own.

Su Muyu looked at the skill slots. He had already learned three skills, and there were two skill slots left.

"Hmm... I still have two skill slots left. Can I learn more attack skills later?"

Lu Heng handed over the [Corrosive Slime] crystal core: "Attack skill."

"No." Su Muyu's whole body was showing signs of rejection. When she saw Lu Heng was about to stuff the crystal core into her, she turned around and ran away.

Lu Heng chased her with the [Corrosive Slime] crystal core, and the two chased and played on the beach for a while.

Su Muyu suddenly stopped, and Lu Heng couldn't stop in time and threw her to the ground on the beach.

“This skill is actually very useful.”

"I know, but I don't want it." Su Muyu knew a skill that could corrode metal. It was very practical, but she really couldn't accept her body secreting corrosive mucus.

Lu Heng was just joking with her. If she wanted to have attacking skills, there were many other ways. She didn't even need to learn new skills. She could also evolve her existing skills into more attacking ones.

"How high is your proficiency in Scout Eagle?"

"Um, I just maxed it out last night and didn't have time to tell you." After Su Muyu went back home last night, he finally maxed out the proficiency of the Scout Eagle to (1000/1000).

After completing the training, she fiddled with it for a long time but couldn't find a way to upgrade the skill.

"So fast?" Lu Heng was a little surprised.

Because Lu Heng's proficiency in [Swift Wind Step] had just reached (998/1000), but he didn't expect Su Muyu to have fully mastered the proficiency in Scouting Eagle first.

"After reaching the maximum proficiency in a skill, how can I upgrade it?" Su Muyu tried various methods but failed to upgrade his skills.

"Skills are different from martial arts. They cannot be upgraded just by practicing." A smile flashed in Lu Heng's eyes. He opened the attribute interface and took a look at the initial talent [Divine Evolution].

[Divine Evolution: Use divine energy to fuse and evolve skills, break the skill level boundaries, and upgrade skills to a higher form.]

Once a psychic has mastered a skill using a crystal core and has reached maximum proficiency, it cannot be upgraded.

[Divine Evolution] can unlock skills, remove skill level restrictions, and allow skills to integrate divine energy for upgrades.

Moreover, the most powerful aspect of this talent is that it not only allows one's own skills to evolve, but also helps others unlock their skills.

Lu Heng stretched out his hand and said, "Give me your hand."

Su Muyu stretched out her hand as she was told, not knowing what to do.

Lu Heng held her hand, closed his eyes, used [Divine Evolution] to help her unlock the skill, and guided her: "Now concentrate and try to use your divine energy to inject it into the skill slot of the Scout Eagle to increase the skill level."

Su Muyu closed his eyes and felt a subtle change in the [Scouting Eagle] skill, as if the lock that locked the skill level had been opened.

She followed his instructions and tried to inject divine energy into the [Scout Eagle] skill slot.

As the divine energy merged into the skill slot, the two energies circled in the skill slot and finally merged together.

The moment the fusion was completed, a data prompt appeared in front of her:
[Consume 300 points of divine energy, and upgrade the "Scout Eagle" skill to "Advanced Scout Eagle". ]

Advanced Scout Eagle

[Skill level: C level]

[Skill consumption: 20 energy points]

[Skill Effect: Summons a high-level scout eagle to conduct sky reconnaissance, detect stealth, and fight. Detect stealth range = 2×perception; attack damage = 1×mental power.]

"Did the skill upgrade succeed?" Lu Heng asked about the result.

"Ok!"

Su Muyu nodded vigorously: "Successful, it has become an advanced reconnaissance eagle, and it has attack capabilities, and the range of detecting stealth has doubled."

"That's good."

For Su Muyu, the upgrade of the D-level reconnaissance eagle to C-level is a huge improvement. Not only has the stealth detection range doubled, but the attack capability has also been upgraded.

From a team perspective, this skill must be upgraded first.

The priority is even above Lu Heng’s own skills.

Lu Heng even thought that if the first upgrade failed, he would let her upgrade the reconnaissance eagle skill even if it consumed another 300 points of divine energy.

When Su Muyu returned from the abyss battlefield, he obtained a total of 900 points of divine energy, and spent 300 points to assimilate the basic laws of the energy crystal bracelet.

Now spend another 300 points to upgrade the skill, and there will be 300 points left.

After looking at the data after the skill upgrade, Su Muyu asked: "Attack damage is not linked to perception, but to mental strength."

Lu Heng nodded and said, "Yes, the main function of perception is to improve insight, such as vision and hearing, making it easier to detect invisible targets and hidden mechanisms such as traps.

"Attack-related abilities are mostly related to mental strength. The stronger the mental strength, the higher the damage caused by controlling the scout eagle."

Su Muyu pondered and asked, "How high is the damage of 1× mental power?"

"Hmm..." Lu Heng thought for a moment and gave an example: "The attack power of a pistol is 105, and it is a hot weapon that is not affected by physical attributes, so the damage is relatively fixed.

“That is to say, with your current mental strength, the damage caused by controlling the Scout Eagle to attack five times is equivalent to firing one shot from a pistol.

“Of course, this is just a simple analogy. The actual damage depends on the part of the body that is attacked.

“If you attack the vital parts, as long as the defense is broken, it will be killed instantly.

"In addition, the scout eagle can choose to attack certain specific parts, such as the eyes."

"Peck the eyes, that's a bit cruel." Su Muyu pursed her lips, unable to accept this way of attacking vital points.

"If you encounter an enemy who will do anything to achieve his goal, you will understand that being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself." Lu Heng shook his head and smiled.
