In the anime, their emotions can be combined into strange props

The demon-level monster Qiao Ze, who had just been hostile to him, fired a beam cannon from between his horns, shouting something like "low-level human extinction bomb" or something, which was indeed incredibly powerful.

It was just a slight scratch, but Xia Yan felt like he was hit by some super-high-temperature laser cannon. Half of his torso was evaporated in an instant, and he was directly knocked out.

As for ending the challenge and running away to reduce losses... well, he said he wanted to experience the weak warrior state of a real-life offline city. Would anyone believe it?

Well, let’s not talk about this for now. Xia Yan looked at the panel in front of him. At this time, two rows of upper and lower cards, totaling 8 Golden Watanabe cards, were displayed on it for him to choose rewards.

Xia Yan was quite familiar with this form of DNF flipping rewards. The rewards that could be obtained from the flipped cards were completely random, so he just clicked on the cards in positions 1.3.8, , and .

Instantly, amidst the radiant golden light, the rewards represented by the three cards also revealed corresponding prompts:

[Card #1 (Guaranteed): You have obtained the class inheritance "Fighter (Includes four advanced classes)"]

[Reward: Based on your challenge level, you gain 4 general skill points (which can be used to unlock and upgrade the corresponding skills of this inherited profession below level 25)!]

……

Card No. 3: Adventurer's Backpack (Guaranteed for the first time in the Death Tower Challenge)

[Attributes: A special backpack (no entity, only bound to one person) divided into three independent space columns: "Equipment, Consumables, and Materials". Each space column has 12 grids (depending on the highest level challenge record of the Death Tower)!

The equipment slot can only hold one piece of equipment per grid and cannot hold anything else. For the consumables and materials slots, if the items are the same, the number can be stacked up to 1+.

……

Card No. 8: Recovery Item Collection (Purple)

[Attributes: Contains "Destiny Coins x 25, HP+MP Recovery Potion x 10, Sophia's Special Elven Wine x 3, Golden Communion x 2"—a consumable item pack that effectively restores injuries, increases energy, and improves your stats!]

……

Among the many rewards, Xia Yan first checked a new skill tree he had just opened.

Based on several basic skills of fighters from the Arad continent, this skill tree is like a big net, spreading out four thick branches, and then these four branches extend out to the ends of more small branches, with a large number of skill boxes hanging on them.

Xia Yan was dazzled by the dazzling array of skills, especially those awakening skills at the top of the skill tree that were so powerful that they could destroy the world, which made him extremely envious.

But then he curled his lips, ignored these visible but intangible temptations, and scrolled to the bottom of the skill tree.

It seems that because the challenge level of the Death Tower is too low, the 4 general skill points he received can only be used to unlock low-level skills below level 25 of this skill tree.

The "Skill Improvement Points" that are the basic reward for challenging the Death Tower can only be used to increase the level of skills after they are activated.

In other words, he can now only unlock 4 relatively low-level new skills for fighters.

But the most exciting thing is that the fighter inheritance he obtained from this special channel does not seem to be limited to only changing to one profession like in the game, but it includes the skill inheritance of all professions such as Sanda, Qigong Master, Judoka, and Street Fighter.

This means that as long as he has enough energy, or as long as he continues to challenge the Tower of Death and slowly accumulates skill points, he will be able to master all the professional skills of this fighter.

He can even learn all the terrifying skills of the four awakening professions that are advanced later!

Of course, the skill points he currently possesses are indeed limited, so he has to carefully consider which new skills he will unlock next.

First, Xia Yan temporarily abandoned the skills of Street Fighter and Judo.

There is no other reason except that he does not have enough skill points. Therefore, Xia Yan's intention of developing new skills is to assist his existing combat system and make up for his own shortcomings.

After the new skills were unlocked and the subsequent skill points were increased, his newly acquired skill attributes are as follows:

[Qigong Master: Mind Cannon/Mind Wave (Purple) +4]

Fortunately, his skill tree is quite smart. It does not count two very similar prerequisite and advanced skills separately, but packages them together and counts them as one skill.

Otherwise, Xia Yan would really be reluctant to invest two precious skill points here.

The reason why he chose this skill was because he wanted to improve his own release system training.

[Qigong Master: Mind Qi Shield (Purple) +3]

It has to be said that a certain Sister An had a significant influence on his skill selection.

However, he chose this skill not entirely because he was influenced by it, but because he wanted to strengthen his mental defense capabilities in addition to his armor, and similarly improve his release system training.

[Qigong Master: Mind Qi Perception (Blue) +1]

[Sanda: Bone Crushing/Lower Kick (Purple) +3]

The former is the basic skill of the Qigong Master, and it is also very inconspicuous in the game. Even its quality is one level lower than other skills he has selected.

However, this skill can directly sense the specific location of the enemy with the mind, which can effectively enhance his perception ability.

Xia Yan also planned to see if he could integrate it into his own Nen ability technique [Circle].

As for the latter, he intended to learn from the special Sanda technique of using mental energy to strengthen the body's explosive power.

In addition, he suddenly discovered that his martial arts, whether it was Erhu Liu or the incomplete Mingti Fist, seemed to be relatively weak in kicking, so he also wanted to make up for it.

The skill selection ends here.

Xia Yan closed his eyes, feeling the various knowledge gradually emerging in his mind.

The specific effect of the new skills may have to wait until he practices them outside and sees them in person.

In addition, he was also very happy about the second and third rewards, which were the space backpack and various medicines.

The first challenge will definitely give you a backpack. It is useless for Xia Yan who has a personal space, but it is a good logistical supplement reward for other reincarnations. The same applies to medicine.

It can provide a complete and powerful skill system, can solve logistical needs, and stably provide space storage props and high-speed recovery props.

Judging from its current performance, the Tower of Death can be called its most core scene building.

but……

Xia Yan suddenly felt an itch on the tip of his nose. It was not until he had finished his other miscellaneous matters that he felt a long-lost feeling all over his body:

Virtual!

Then, just as he was muttering to himself, "No way," he suddenly uttered:

"Ah!"

……

……

Let’s go back a little in time.

Hungry Ghost Plain Sea of ​​Trees.

Because of the special magnetic field of this place, it not only disrupts the five senses of living things, but also makes it very easy for people to get lost and trapped to death here.

And because the body's magnetic field is also disturbed and unbalanced by external factors, as long as a creature stays here for a long time, it will feel a gradually accumulating feeling of headache and dizziness.

Therefore, even animals hardly stay in this ghost place, making this forest silent and eerie like a ghost forest.

The only creatures that move around in places like this are insects that don't have the organs to sense things, and...

There are some puzzling and terrifying upright apes who try to use the extreme environment here to push their bodies and minds to the limit in order to achieve breakthroughs and practice asceticism.

It was in this place, at this time: at night, by a bright bonfire.

Hikigaya's face turned a little pale as he watched Uncle Kuroki opposite him roasting several skewers of something scientifically called "centipede" on the fire.

He couldn't help but stammer, but in the end he couldn't say anything to resist.

They are practicing hard, not on a picnic, so there is no room for him to be willful. If he can't even bear this little bit of hardship, why would he come here to practice?

That was when the two of them were in love with each other and were planning to expand their recipes.

Suddenly, without any symptoms, a huge and emotionless voice sounded in their ears.

[You have triggered the special present-day mission: Provocation of the God of Death! ]

[Introduction: "I need more soul contracts!" - by Death God Dreyfus

A new Death Tower has appeared in the main god space. Its creator, the God of Death Dreyfus, wants to invite you to enter his Death Tower to challenge.

In the tower, you will encounter powerful people from other worlds, and fight with them constantly. Even if you die in battle, you will be resurrected in the tower without any sequelae, so there is no need to pity the cost of your life!

But the god of death is only interested in the souls of the strong!

So go fight! Go prove! The fact that you are a strong person! 】

[Mission format: In the upcoming "Kengan Fatal Tournament" in the real world, defeat at least the top four players and get the invitation to death!

The reward amount will be determined by the quality and quantity of the Kengan Fatal Tournament players defeated, as well as the final ranking in the tournament! 】

[Rewards: Death Tower Invitation (Special Reward/Automatically awarded for defeating the top four players in the Death Tournament or placing in the top four), Lord God Points, Powerful Class Heritage, Martial Arts Skills, Special Equipment, Items, Recovery Consumables, etc.]

[Note: The Kengan Fatal Tournament will be divided into the following levels: Champion, Top Four, Top Eight, Top 16, and Top 32. The specific list of players will be announced after all the participants are officially confirmed!]

……

"Huh?!"×2

In addition to sending them this automatically configured voice message, Xia Yan also sent them the shocking image of the Tower of Death rising from the ground, echoing with the roars and howls of countless souls.

Therefore, both Hikigaya and Kuroki Gensai let out a cry of surprise.

"A strong one...huh?"

After a moment of silence, Kuroki Gensai pondered, and in the light of the fire, his eyes began to light up with excitement.

Hikigaya frowned. He had already joined the Kengankai and knew something about the Fatal Tournament.

To be honest, he was a little hesitant about this before, but now it seems that he doesn't even have to consider whether to participate or not.

After all, it is a "death" competition, regardless of life or death, but in fact the death rate of that competition... can it be compared with fighting with aliens where you can be killed if you are not careful, and there is no room for negotiation and no one will stop you?

It seems that such a small risk can bring a huge reward.

How could Hikigaya refuse? So when he frowned at this moment, he was more thinking about how he would participate in the death match next.

Thinking of this, he suddenly turned his eyes and looked at Uncle Kuroki who was opposite the campfire.

Senior Brother Jukiji is busy now and is not here, and Hikigaya heard from Uncle Kuroki that he had always wanted to participate in the Death Tournament and was planning to ask a friend who owns his own business to get a place in the tournament.

In any case, Uncle Kuroki knows much more about the procedures of the Death Tournament than he, a half-baked and pure newbie member of the Kengankai.

He is now trying to get some accurate information from Uncle Kuroki so that he can go back and discuss it with Xia and the others tomorrow.

Kuroki Gensai's physical and mental state have become increasingly enthusiastic recently. Under the illumination of the bonfire in the dark night, in the quiet and empty space of the forest, he naturally told Hikigaya about the situation of the death match with earnest instruction.

……

……

the next morning.

Inside the newly renovated office.

When Hikigaya arrived here excitedly with his notebook, the first thing he saw and heard was:

"Pfft!"

"Xia classmate, why are you like this, hahahaha~"

Chapter 135 Weakness and Cold

The office has been newly renovated and two long sofas and a coffee table have been added.

As the saying goes, a person's life is like spring sleepiness, summer fatigue, autumn nap and winter long sleep.

The weather is cold now, so what if I roll up a quilt?

"Ah!"

Xia Yan was sitting on the sofa, and he moved his body while complaining in his heart.

At this time, he covered his head with a quilt and tightened it from the inside to wrap himself more tightly, leaving only his face exposed for easy breathing. It could be said that he was just like rolling himself up like a spring roll and shivering.

He looked at Hikigaya, who was standing near the door and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He hadn't expected that the weakened state of the Death Tower would be so impartial.

Not only the strength level, but even the body's resistance has been weakened by a percentage.

He himself did not expect that with his physical condition gradually becoming outrageous, he would still have the opportunity to experience what it felt like to have a cold.

Fortunately, the weak state that people who die in battle in the tower will be in for a random 1 to 3 days, and the time he got was only a little over a dozen hours. He was lucky enough to be able to hold on and get through it.

And in this office, there's no need to worry about outsiders who don't know the details seeing his embarrassing expression...
