Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

"It's not all Eagle Clan members; he's just one faction among them," Wang Mu corrected. "But regardless, it's a positive sign. It shows that our actions are beginning to change how the outside world perceives us."

"That Yang Lawei is no simple man. Much of the information he revealed is things we didn't know..." Yun Xiangrong's eyes flashed with a thoughtful light.

Wu Zhan gripped the token tightly and said in a deep voice, "Regardless of whether it's true or false, it reminds us to broaden our horizons. The upcoming promotion battle is just the first hurdle. But first, we must overcome it!"

Liu Nian did not participate in the discussion. He repeated Yang Lawei's words in a low voice, his eyes growing colder and colder: "Blood Oath Spear... a single strike inflicts ten million true damage? Then I'll grind it up to more than that number and see what you can do to me next time we meet!"

The cleanup of the battlefield was nearing its end. Apart from some players cleaning up their last loot and keeping watch, most people were gathered in several relatively clean open areas, dealing with the spoils of the battle.

The results of this counter-ambush battle were extremely fruitful.

More than thirty elite pigmen of level 75 or above, including three warlords of level 80 or above, dropped items that far exceeded the loot of any previous battle, both in quality and quantity.

Equipment, materials, potions, scrolls, gems... all sorts of lights intertwined on the ground, creating a spectacular sight.

Liu Nian sat alone on a relatively flat rock, with a small pile of skill books he had acquired during this period spread out in front of him.

These are all things that came to light during his pig slaughtering these past few days.

他目前的等级已经达到了59级，距离60级只差临门一脚。（50级时将无尽怒火升到5级，冷却降到90CD，不死延长到9秒。）

Although he acquired quite a few skill books, he wasn't in a hurry to learn them, since the number of skills one could learn was limited.

He can learn 10 active skills, 5 passive skills, and 5 support skills.

The skills currently available are as follows:

Active Skills: Soul Drain Strike, Charged Fist, Unstoppable Force, Shadow Strike, Earth Shake, Lightning Kick

Passive Skill: Hell Curse

Support Skills: Vast Mind, Endless Fury

Although the skills "Boundless Mind" and "Endless Fury" need to be activated actively, they are classified as support skills because they do not directly cause damage.

Heart of Steel is a talent, not a skill.

After spending a long time selecting, Liu Nian decided on the skills he wanted to learn:

Only one active skill was selected: [Leap of Heavenly Punishment]

-------------------

[Leap of Heavenly Punishment] (160 CD, 550 Mana Cost): You select a target within a 100-meter radius, leap high into the air and enter an invincible state. After 3 seconds, you land like a meteor, slamming into the target's location and dealing devastating damage to all enemies within a 15-meter radius of the landing point. This deals (300% Attack Damage + 20% of your maximum health) physical damage and inflicts the "Earthquake" status: movement speed reduced by 60%, attack speed reduced by 40%, lasting 5 seconds. Upon landing, a shockwave extending 30 meters forward and 5 meters wide is also created, dealing (150% Attack Damage + 300% Ability Power) magic damage to enemies in its path.

Compared to Unstoppable Force, this skill has a significantly increased attack range. Although it can't attack from thousands of meters away like the Bloodsworn of the Pigmen, this range is sufficient to deal with most ranged classes.

In addition, being invincible for 3 seconds while jumping is an absolutely amazing skill, and the visual effect is quite stunning.

Of course, I was also provoked by that pig-man, which is why I thought of getting a long-range skill.

Next are four passive skills: [Ancestral Blood Boil], [Gift of the Mountain Titan], [Bloodlust], and [Iron Cells].

[Ancestral Blood]: Awakens the ancient power of your bloodline. Permanently increases your maximum health by 15%, and whenever you take damage, there is a 10% chance to trigger the "Blood Boiling" effect, which increases your health regeneration by 100% and attack power by 10% for the next 25 seconds. This effect can trigger a maximum of once every 10 seconds and can stack up to 10 times.

[Gift of the Mountain Titans]: Your body begins to emulate the legendary Mountain Titans, permanently increasing your damage reduction by 10%, and based on your Constitution attribute, providing an additional 1 point of physical damage reduction for every 100 points of Constitution and an additional 1 point of magical damage reduction for every 100 points of Energy.

[Blood Rage]: You gain 10% all-type lifesteal. Whenever your lifesteal effect is active, you trigger "Blood Rage," restoring 3% of your maximum energy.

[Steel Cells]: Gain a shield equal to 15% of your maximum health. While the shield is active, you gain 15% armor and magic resistance. When the shield is broken, deal magic damage equal to 15% of your maximum health to enemies within a 10-meter radius. If this damage kills at least 10 enemies, the shield is immediately refreshed. This refresh effect can only occur once every 60 seconds. The shield regenerates 10 seconds after you leave combat.

These four skills primarily provide defensive and recovery-related attributes.

There are also three support skills: [Beast Transformation], [Undying Battle Spirit], and [Axe-Breaking Roar].

[Beast Transformation] (800CD, 5000 Mana Cost): Activates the latent wild power within, temporarily transforming into a half-human, half-beast [Beast] form for 30 seconds. After transformation: Maximum health increased by 50%, armor and magic resistance increased by 30%, attack speed increased by 40%, movement mode changed to leap attack (instantly jumps to in front of enemies within a 30-meter range), and normal attacks will cause a powerful knockback effect on small to medium-sized enemies.

【Undying Spirit】(650CD, 3000 mana cost): Consumes 50% of your maximum health to enter the "Undying Spirit" state. During this period, physical damage below 10% of your maximum health or magical damage above 90% of your maximum health is ignored. Lasts for 5 minutes.

These two skills are a transformation skill and a survival skill, one offensive and one defensive.

[Breaking Axe Roar] (65CD, 500 mana cost): Unleash a terrifying roar, forcing all enemies within a 10-meter radius to attack you for 4 seconds. During this time, your rage-based abilities accumulate at a 100% speed. When the taunt effect ends, enemy defense is reduced by 50%, and your health regeneration is increased by 50% for 10 seconds.

This is a skill that can be used to taunt multiple enemies. Liu Nian is so tanky, so he should definitely get one. It can also speed up the process of accumulating battle spirit.

(Learning skills through skill books does not consume skill points, but leveling up does. There was a bug with the previously learned skills: Shadow Strike, Earth Roar, Vast Mind, and Lightning Kick should start from level 0 instead of level 1. It's a bit troublesome to fix, so I'll just deduct 4 points from the 18 skill points I've accumulated.)

Liu Nian currently has 14 skill points. He used 5 points to max out the passive skill Ancestral Blood, which permanently increases the maximum health bonus to 40%, and the health recovery speed becomes 300% after triggering Blood Boiling.

Then I maxed out Skyfall, reduced the cooldown to 110, increased the target range to 200 meters, increased the landing damage radius to 40 meters, increased the initial damage to 400% attack power + 70% of the user's maximum health, increased the second shockwave's range to 55 meters and width to 10 meters, and increased the damage to 200% attack power + 400% spell power.

The last 4 points are added to Bloodthirst Wrath: all types of life steal effect increased to 30%, mana regeneration increased to 10%.

After learning all these skills, Liu Nian's health increased to 5,595,429, his armor reached 9419, his life steal reached 64%, and he also gained an 840,000 shield.

Although it's another epic buff, with the Blood Oath Spear ahead, Liu Nian feels a sense of urgency until his health reaches ten million.
