Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

After resting for a few minutes, Lin Yi took out the [Energy Activation] he had exchanged before.

The scroll shattered, and a vast amount of knowledge poured into his mind like a torrent, the overwhelming information almost drowning his consciousness.

This time, Lin Yi clearly felt that the volume of this knowledge was in no way inferior to the impact when a master-level skill was promoted to a grandmaster level.

After all, this skill, [Energy Activation], is related to the abyss. It even includes the method of controlling the power of the abyss. Naturally, the amount of knowledge it contains is not small.

[Hint: The hunter has learned 'Energy Activation'. ]

[Energy Activation lv.1 (Active Skill)]

Skill Effect 1: Abyss Refining (Passive): Continuously purifies the power of the abyss in the body. The purified power of the abyss can increase the damage of skills.

Skill Effect 2: Activation Burst (Active): When the user faces a life-threatening emergency, he can actively consume 50% of the power of the abyss to activate this effect. Under this effect, an additional 20% magic damage reduction is obtained, the attack speed is increased by 20%, the movement speed is increased by 10%, and all skills have an additional erosion effect. Each attack has a 30% chance to cause the target to lose 1% of its maximum health per second, which lasts for 3 seconds and can be stacked up to 3 times.

This state can last for 30 seconds, after which it enters a 30-minute cooldown period.

Introduction: Reshape your body with the power of the abyss and let your enemies tremble in your resurgence.

[Yes/No: Raise the Energy Activation Level by 1. To raise this ability, you need Soul Crystal (Medium) × 1 + 100000 Paradise Coins. ]

Seeing the cost of the upgrade, Lin Yi subconsciously rubbed his eyes to confirm whether he had seen it wrong.

Apart from some core abilities, Lin Yi rarely saw soul crystals being used to improve skills.

This also means that the skill of [Energy Activation] is much more powerful than Lin Yi imagined.

After consuming 9 Soul Crystals (Medium) and 90 Paradise Coins, [Energy Activation] was successfully upgraded to level 10.

[Energy Activation lv.10 (Active Skill)]

Skill Effect 1: Abyss Refining (Passive): Continuously purifies the power of the abyss in the body. The purified power of the abyss can increase the damage of skills.

Skill Effect 2: Activation Burst (Active): When the user is facing a life-threatening emergency, he can actively consume 45% (reduced by 5%) of the power of the abyss to activate this effect. Under this effect, he gains an additional 25% (increased by 5%) magic damage reduction, an attack speed increase of 30% (increased by 10%), a movement speed increase of 20% (increased by 10%), and all skills have an additional erosion effect. Each attack has a 30% chance to cause the target to lose 1% of its maximum health per second, which lasts for 3 seconds and can be stacked up to 3 times.

This state can last for 45 seconds (increased by 15 seconds), after which it enters a cooldown period of 28 minutes (reduced by 2 minutes).

Introduction: Reshape your body with the power of the abyss and let your enemies tremble in your resurgence.

After being upgraded to level 10, the upgrade cost of [Energy Activation] becomes extremely exaggerated.

[Yes/No: Raise the Energy Activation Level to 10. To raise this ability, you need Soul Crystal (Large) x 1 + 9 Soul Coins.]

Even though Lin Yi had long been accustomed to the exaggerated costs in the Samsara Paradise, he still felt a tingling sensation on his scalp when he saw such an increase in demand.

Lin Yi shook his head and decisively chose to give up.

It's not that he is unwilling to continue improving [Energy Activation], but there are more important skills that need to be improved first.

[To upgrade the Abyss Healing Gift, you need to pay 9 Soul Coins. Yes/No. 】

As 90 soul coins were taken away by the Samsara Paradise, [Gift of Healing from the Abyss] was also upgraded to level 30.

[Healing of the Abyss·Gift lv.30 (Passive Skill)]

Skill Effect: When healing or assisting friendly units, an additional 40% bonus to healing amount/assistance effect will be obtained.

Tip: The following information is only visible to the Abyss Doctor.

Hidden skill effect: At each world settlement, the Abyss Doctor will automatically gain 4 gold skill points.

After the upgrade was completed, Lin Yi took out the [Holy Spirit] scroll that the old devil woman had given him.

This skill is too dangerous. Faced with this skill that can directly erode the soul, Lin Yi hesitated again and again and did not choose to learn it last time.

But in a place like Samsara Paradise, an increase in strength often means the difference between life and death.

“Now that it has come to this, let’s take a gamble.” Lin Yi whispered to himself, then crushed the scroll.

A violent energy gushed out from the scroll like a volcanic eruption and penetrated directly into Lin Yi's body.

This energy quickly took root deep in Lin Yi's soul and began to madly erode his soul power.

Lin Yi groaned and felt a sharp pain in his brain. His consciousness began to blur and the world in front of him became distorted, as if he was being pulled into an endless abyss.

There were whispers in his ears, as if countless voices were roaring, mocking, and bewitching him.

"Give up... Your soul is destined to be swallowed by the abyss..."

"Join us...become part of the abyss..."

"Your struggle is meaningless..."

These voices entangled Lin Yi like poisonous snakes, trying to pull him into endless darkness.

Lin Yi's consciousness was like a lone boat, swaying in the violent energy waves.

Once his consciousness is completely devoured by this power, the consequences will be disastrous - he will no longer be "Lin Yi", but a puppet of the abyss, a walking corpse that has lost his self.

Lin Yi's eyes were sometimes as dark as ink, and sometimes clear again. His consciousness kept struggling, as if he was wandering on the edge of a cliff. If he was not careful, he would fall into an abyss from which there was no return.

[Warning: The hunter's soul is being eroded. Do you want to activate the emergency protection mechanism? ]

Just when Lin Yi was about to fall, the reminder sound of the Samsara Paradise suddenly sounded.

"Start!" Lin Yi chose to confirm without hesitation.

As Lin Yi clicked to confirm, he discovered that the soul coins in his personal space quickly disappeared.

That’s right, this time what the Samsara Paradise spent to repair Lin Yi’s soul was not Paradise Coins, but Soul Coins.

As the soul coins shattered one by one, a pure soul force surged out and quickly enveloped Lin Yi's body, forcibly isolating the power of the abyss that was corroding his soul.

The strange black lines on the surface of his skin began to fade away gradually, like snow burned by a raging fire, quickly melting and dissipating.

Lin Yi only felt that the tearing pain in his mind gradually eased, and the whispering in his ear became blurred and finally disappeared completely.

The darkness before his eyes was dispelled bit by bit, and was replaced by a familiar skill enhancement chamber.

But soon, Lin Yi's remaining soul coins were quickly used up, and the Paradise Coins could not replace this high-level repair mechanism.

The pure soul power weakened, and the power of the abyss began to stir again.

But even so, this period of respite was enough for Lin Yi to recover.

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressed all the negative conditions in his body.

However, there was still a hint of coldness in the depths of his soul; the infection from the abyss had not completely disappeared, but had only been temporarily suppressed.

"It was really dangerous..." Lin Yi whispered to himself, with a hint of fatigue in his voice, but more of a sense of relief at surviving the disaster.

If it weren't for the emergency protection mechanism of the Samsara Paradise, he would probably have been swallowed by the power of the abyss and become a part of it.

[Hint: The hunter has successfully mastered the skill of 'Holy Spirit'. ]

[Holy Spirit lv.MAX (Passive Skill)]

Skill effect: Activate soul power through the power of the abyss, integrate part of the soul power into the body, and increase one's own health limit.

The current hunter soul strength is 105 points, which can increase the basic health limit by 21%.

Introduction: Using the power of the abyss to infect the power of the soul, no one would do this unless they were crazy.

It has to be said that Lin Yi's decision not to learn [Holy Spirit] last time was undoubtedly extremely wise.

If he did not have enough soul coins on hand to activate the emergency repair function of the Samsara Paradise this time, he would probably have been completely swallowed up by the power of the abyss and become a puppet of the abyss.

This experience also sounded a wake-up call for Lin Yi. In the future, when it comes to skills that directly involve the soul, he must be fully prepared, otherwise it would be easy to get himself into trouble.

After resting for a while, Lin Yi turned his gaze to the sword master.

[Yes/No: Improve the Sword Master Level 20. To improve this ability, you need Soul Crystal (Complete) × 5 + 135000 Paradise Coins. ]

Looking at the high upgrade fee, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh, but still chose to upgrade three levels.

Following his confirmation, the fifteen complete soul crystals shattered instantly and transformed into pure energy that poured into his body.

Lin Yi's consciousness was pulled into an endless void.

There is no concept of time here, nor boundaries of space, only silence and nothingness.

And in front of Lin Yi, there was a sword mark floating.

This sword mark seemed to have remained in this void for countless years. It had no gorgeous light, nor sharp sword energy, but it gave people an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Is this... the pinnacle of sword intent?" Lin Yi whispered to himself, his eyes fixed on the sword mark.

Lin Yi slowly approached, stretched out his hand, and tried to touch the sword mark. Just as his finger was about to touch it, the sword mark suddenly exploded and completely engulfed Lin Yi's consciousness.

When Lin Yi came to his senses again, he found that he had returned to the skill improvement warehouse.

[Hint: Sword Master has been upgraded to Lv.23. ]

[Sword Master: Lv.23 (Passive Skill)]

Skill effect: Increase sword attack power by 429%, nerve reflex speed by +104%, dynamic vision by +84%, greatly improve sword skills and reaction ability.

Lin Yi ignored the reminder sound of Samsara Paradise, and was still immersed in the aftereffects of the attack caused by the sword mark.

The impact of the sword mark left an indelible mark deep in his soul, allowing his understanding of the way of the sword to reach a whole new level, which could even be said to be a qualitative leap.

"Who left that sword mark?" Lin Yi whispered to himself, his heart filled with shock.

Being able to leave such a sword mark, his realm must have reached a height that he could not imagine.

After calming down, Lin Yi sat down again and began to improve other skills.

He still had 3 gold skill points in his hand, and Lin Yi invested all of them in the skill [Purification].

Even with 6 skill points invested, the skill [Purification] still has not transformed into an EX skill.

Seeing this, Lin Yi was not disappointed. The more gold skill points required for the skill [Purification], the stronger the effect after the transformation.

This accumulation will eventually explode with astonishing power one day in the future.

As for the remaining skills, Lin Yi cannot continue to improve them for the time being because they all require soul coins to upgrade.

The soul coins in his hand had already been taken out completely just now.

After leaving the skill enhancement room, Lin Yi went to the equipment enhancement hall and inlaid the two newly acquired gems on the [Abyss Prayer] set.

After everything was packed up, Lin Yi returned to his own room to rest.

This time, the skill upgrade not only consumed a lot of his resources, but also put a great burden on his spirit.

When Lin Yi woke up, he heard the reminder sound of the Reincarnation Paradise.

[Tip: Amon's monocle has been upgraded to epic level. Please check the specific attributes by yourself.]

Lin Yi rubbed his eyes and quickly opened the equipment panel to check the new attributes of [Amon's Monocle].

Amon's Monocle

Rating: 699
Summary: Amon glanced at you and pushed up his monocle.

Price: 184000 paradise coins

……

The newly upgraded [Amon's Monocle] not only removed the word "replica" after the equipment name, but its reconnaissance rank was also significantly improved.

This is undoubtedly a huge help to Lin Yi.

Especially when facing high-level enemies, a higher priority means he can obtain more complete intelligence and thus formulate more effective tactics.

Afterwards, Lin Yi went to Reed's shop and took the black and white rose from him.

Walking into the equipment enhancement hall, you can hear the sound of the equipment enhancement machine's success or failure from time to time.

Lin Yi's eyes swept across the hall and suddenly stopped on a familiar figure - Winnie from the brigade.

The girl with blue hair and ponytail seemed to be strengthening her sniper cannon, which seemed to have cost her a lot. When Lin Yi saw her, he found that Winnie's fingers were trembling slightly.

Lin Yi walked forward, gently patted Winnie on the shoulder, and said teasingly with a smile: "Why, did the enhancement fail? You look like you were emptied of Paradise Coins."

Winnie turned around suddenly and saw that it was Lin Yi. She was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a bitter face: "Don't mention it, this is the Paradise Coins I saved for several worlds, and it's all gone to waste."

Lin Yi smiled and consoled him, "Strengthening is all about luck. You're unlucky, maybe you'll succeed next time."

Winnie sighed and shook her head helplessly: "I hope so. But why are you here too? Are you here to strengthen yourself too?"

Lin Yi nodded and raised the black and white rose in his hand: "Let's try our luck."

After a few brief greetings, Lin Yi walked towards an idle enhancement machine.

He put the black and white rose into the enhancement machine and then selected the enhancement option.

[Hint: Strengthening the Black and White Rose requires 1 Soul Crystal (Large). Do you want to continue? ]

"continue."

As Lin Yi confirmed, the strengthening machine started to operate, and a dazzling light burst out from the machine.

After consuming two soul crystals (large), the black and white rose strengthened to +13 was spit out by the strengthening machine.

[Black and White Rose +13 (Origin of Death 37%; Origin of Life 16%)]

Origin: Abyss Doctor

Rating: 700++++++
Summary: Survival or destruction depends on one thought.

Price: Not tradable.

"FUCK! Failed again!"

At the moment when Lin Yi picked up the black and white rose from the tray, the sound of failed enhancement came from Winnie's enhancement machine next to him.

Seeing the weapon's enhancement level drop to +5 again, Winnie just wanted to beat up the three Chinese national football team brothers to relieve her inner unhappiness.

In order to strengthen the sniper cannon in her hand, Winnie has invested most of the gains from the last few worlds into it, but it hasn't even reached +10 yet.

"Doctor, I heard from that guy Gollum that you have good luck. Can you help me strengthen it?" Winnie bit her freshly done manicure, her tone sounding a little helpless.

"remuneration?"

Winnie took a deep breath, and was obviously prepared: "How about this, if we meet in another world next time, I will do a world's work for you for free?"

There was a hint of urgency in Winnie's tone, and she was obviously really frightened by the failures of these strengthening attempts.

If her weapon can't reach +10, then all her efforts in these worlds will be in vain.

"it is good."

Seeing that Winnie said this, Lin Yi didn't say much and directly put Winnie's sniper cannon into the enhancer.

After waiting for a few minutes, Lin Yi finally pressed the strengthening button when he felt that his luck had reached a peak. (End of this chapter)
