Chapter 308 The Octopus Divine Beast's Abilities! (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
"Eate...ate it..."

Seeing the tentacle swallowed by the black cat, Yu Zhu was struck dumb. After a moment, he suddenly came to his senses and looked at the octopus beast with concern.

Although the octopus-like mythical beast is a bit ugly, it's still the result of her hard work in hatching it from a special dungeon, isn't it?

However, when Yu Zhu's gaze fell upon one of the octopus beast's tentacles, which was missing a section, his expression froze slightly.

Because at this moment, that tentacle was repairing itself at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it was no different from the other tentacles.

"Ah, this..." Yu Zhun, who was originally going to teach the black cat a lesson and tell it that it couldn't do that, was also stunned.

The black cat stretched out its paw and slowly groomed its whiskers.

"Meow~"

After hearing what the black cat said, Yu Zhun's expression became even more interesting.

"You mean, the amount you just ate was just the right amount for it to recover from without any pain or discomfort?"

Before the black cat could nod, the octopus beast let out a mournful cry.

"squeak!!!"

What do you mean by "not feeling pain or itching"? It hurts a lot when a tentacle breaks off!
Its facial features conveyed a human-like sense of grievance, which made Yu Zhu unable to resist gently touching its antennae to comfort it.

"Don't cry, don't cry!"

"But are you really alright?"

The octopus beast turned to look at Yu Zhu, its previously displeased gaze instantly turning into a fawning one. It rubbed against Yu Zhu forcefully, even its voice becoming slightly husky.

"Squeak~"

"You mean you have a naturally strong recovery ability, so this level of injury has no effect on you?" Yu Zhu couldn't help but widen his eyes upon hearing the octopus beast's words.

"Squeak!" The octopus beast raised its head slightly, its expression showing a hint of smugness.

But the next second, it heard Yu Zhu speak with delight.

"Can I have one to try?"

"Squeak?!" The octopus beast's expression suddenly froze.

"Meow~"

The black cat spoke slowly and deliberately, and Yu Zhun translated with a wry smile, "The black cat said that eating it once a day should be fine, but you wouldn't be able to absorb it all anyway, so you should just give it to it as a snack."

Yu Zhu: "..."

Octopus Beast: "..."

With a regretful sigh, Yu Zhu stroked the octopus beast, a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

"You need to grow stronger quickly and turn the tables to suppress the black cat!"

"Squeak~" The octopus beast showed a wronged expression.

It stretched out its tentacles toward the eggshells on the ground, quickly digesting them like a whirlwind. Its body swelled several times over at a visible speed, then shrank in size like a black cat, finally landing on Yu Zhu's head, looking like a semi-transparent hat.

"Squeak!" After doing all this, it glanced at the black cat defiantly and stretched out a whisker to gesture.

It didn't eat the eggshell just now; the black cat is being stubborn!

Now, come and hit me!
The next instant, a dark shadow flashed by, and the octopus beast lost another tentacle.

The black cat slowly swallowed the snack, its eyes filled with disdain as it looked at the octopus monster.

Brother, you still need to practice.

Although both were born at level 91, the black cat still had a significant advantage over the octopus-like beast.

Because the special instance that absorbs energy during its hatching is the [Lunar Eclipse Tower]!
That was nearly 20% of the demonic power that a powerful god-lord at the eighth level of divine transformation had separated from himself!

The black cat absorbed the power of the Tower of Lunar Eclipse and became somewhat tainted by that level of aura, making it superior to the Octopus Beast.

"Squeak~" The octopus beast showed a wronged expression again, and began to repair its tentacles while crying.

Having just eaten the eggshell, it had regained a lot of strength, so losing another tentacle wouldn't be a big problem.

"Don't cry." Yu Zhu patted its head sympathetically and quickly changed the subject, "I'll give you a name."

"I'm not like Yu Zhun, who's terrible at naming things. I'll definitely give you a super nice name!"

"Squeak!" The octopus beast's eyes lit up, and its previous little temper was instantly thrown to the winds. Now, only anticipation remained on its face.

"I'll call you..."

After a moment of contemplation, Yu Zhu snapped his fingers after seeing the golden circular patterns on the octopus beast's body.

"Golden Ring!"

"Meow~" The black cat next to her hugged its belly and laughed so hard it fell off the table and onto the floor.

Even Yu Zhun was both amused and exasperated. "With your abilities, how dare you call me terrible at naming things?"

"Isn't this name nice?"

Yu Zhu puffed out her cheeks and glared, just then a tentacle reached down from the top of her head and gently stroked her face twice, at the same time the octopus mythical beast's joyful voice came.

"Squeak~"

"See? Jin Huan likes it very much!" Yu Zhu hugged Jin Huan from above his head and suddenly felt that it looked more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Golden Ring, do you have any special abilities?"

Yu Zhu winked expectantly at Jin Huan, boldly hinting, "Like that special ability that can share its power with me?"

"Squeak?" A thoughtful look appeared in Jin Huan's eyes, and after a moment he nodded emphatically, "Squeak!"

"Really!" Yu Zhu exclaimed with delight. "Come on, get it arranged for me right away!"

Is she going to develop a second talent?

That's fantastic!
Jin Huan's two golden eyes gradually brightened, and at the same time, a golden ring on its body suddenly burst into light, and then slowly left its body and flew towards Yu Zhu.

Finally, the golden ring landed on Yu Zhu's forehead, looking like an inconspicuous little golden dot.

At the same time, lines of text appeared before Yu Zhu's eyes.

[Your contractual partner has chosen to share their core abilities. Since you have not yet reached the third stage of transformation, an adaptive adjustment is now being made...]

[Adjustments complete]

Congratulations on acquiring your second talent, [Super Regeneration]!

[Super Speed ​​Regeneration (Level 1): After taking damage, immediately restores health equal to the damage dealt. If the attack reduces your health to zero, there is a 20% chance to nullify the attack. This talent cannot be actively upgraded.]

"This second talent..." Yu Zhu couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Does this mean I'm completely invincible now?"

"Hmm?" Yu Zhun looked curious. "What second talent did you acquire?"

He was genuinely curious to know what kind of talent would make Yu Zhu utter the word "invincible".

The next moment, after learning about Yu Zhu's second talent, he fell into deep thought.

Immediately restores health equal to the damage dealt after taking damage?
This description alone is already quite perverted.

This means that unless Yu Zhu's health bar is completely depleted in one go, no one can truly harm him.

Building on this, the second talent description is equally astonishing. Faced with an attack that could instantly deplete Yu Zhu's health bar, Yu Zhu has a chance to nullify the attack.

Note that it's invalidation!
This ability can nullify the additional effects of an attack. For example, if Yu Zhun delivers a fatal blow to Yu Zhu, and Yu Zhu is lucky enough to nullify the attack, then none of the three fatal blows will take effect.

If there's anything to regret, it's that the probability isn't very high, only 20%, and it only works once every five attempts.

but!
This is only an X1-level talent. If it were given another chance to improve, its effect would be incredibly powerful.

Yu Zhu's second talent is the same as Yu Zhun's second talent, both having the description that "this talent cannot be actively upgraded."

But this doesn't mean that these two talents are truly unimprovable.

The wool comes from the sheep's back; the second talent comes from the black cat and the golden ring, and Yu Zhun and Yu Zhu, as the recipients of the sharing, naturally cannot actively improve it.

However, as long as Black Cat and Golden Ring absorb the mythical fragments and improve, the strength level of their second talent will naturally increase accordingly.

Even without upgrading, Yu Zhun's [Power of Greed] can still be used temporarily, but Yu Zhu's [Super Speed ​​Regeneration] has a very high cost-effectiveness in terms of upgrading!
"I will save every penny and gather nine mythical fragments for you as soon as possible!" Yu Zhu held the golden ring high with both hands, his expression sincere.

"With these two by our side, we'll have to work harder from now on." Yu Zhun looked at the two "loving" third-stage beings, both amused and exasperated.

Being able to possess a third-stage being who is completely obedient to you at this stage is definitely a great thing, but it also means that Yu Zhun and Yu Zhu will have a new burden in the future.

The appetite of a third-stage being is not small.

They usually use legendary fragments like food, and their need for mythical fragments is almost the same as that of third-tier players.

The two of them already needed a massive amount of mythical fragments to continue improving, and in the future they would also have to raise two gold-devouring beasts.

Suddenly, Yu Zhun, who had felt he didn't need to worry about medals for a while after leaving the [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm], felt a renewed sense of urgency.

"It's time to enter the second-stage trial."

Upon hearing Yu Zhun's words, Yu Zhu's smile faded slightly. He slowly put down the golden ring and nodded seriously, "Yes."

Zhu Xiuming and Ji Ruoxu had already explained the precautions for entering the second job advancement trial to the two of them. However, the second job advancement trial is different for each person and will not randomly select a permanent Lv30 dungeon like the first job advancement trial. Instead, it will be a completely new dungeon that has never appeared before.

Therefore, they still need to rely more on their own efforts.

After sending a message to Zhu Xiuming and Ji Ruoxu, informing them that the Divine Beast Egg and the Demonic Beast Egg had successfully hatched and that the two of them were preparing to begin their second-stage trial, Yu Zhun glanced at Yu Zhu.

"Go for it, Yu Zhuzhu!"

"You too." Yu Zhu snorted, then re-entered the Divine Revelation World to begin the second-stage trial.

Yu Zhun shook his head and smiled, looking at Jin Huan and the black cat, "We'll go do our second-stage trial first. You two stay home and guard the house."

After giving him a few words of advice, he quickly logged into the Divine Revelation World and then chose to start the second-stage trial through the Divine Revelation World.

After a dizzying spin, Yu Zhun found himself in a chaotic space with no end in sight.

Apart from himself, there was only one vertical mirror in the space.

Upon seeing the mirror, Yu Zhun couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"This scene seems familiar?"

When Yu Zhun first entered the world of divine revelation and chose his profession, he saw a similar scene. He had also encountered the same scene when he entered the [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm] before.

Unexpectedly, a similar mirror also exists in the second-stage trial.

He quickened his pace and soon stood in front of the mirror.

His clear image was reflected in the mirror: a slender figure, dressed in Netherworld series equipment, and clutching a pair of daggers tightly in his hands.

Immediately afterwards, a ripple appeared on the scene, like a drop of water being dropped into a calm lake.

Amidst the ripples, Yu Zhun's image gradually became blurred and uncertain.

In every instant, Yu Zhun could see completely different images in the mirror. These images were somewhat similar to him at this moment, but they were all different. There were countless possibilities, which burst forth in the turbulence of the mirror.

A sudden realization dawned on Yu Zhun's mind.

The so-called second job advancement is actually about exploring the player's potential more deeply and giving the player a richer variety.

This allows players who grow through the fixed five-class system to possess unique abilities of their own!
Why are three-stage powerhouses able to possess various divine and demonic titles and different kinds of powerful abilities?

A large part of it is because of the second job advancement!
Thinking of this, Yu Zhun slowly took out a card from his backpack.

That was the [Hidden Path Optimization Card] that he exchanged for using 2000 God and Demon Medals.

As he took it out, the ordinary card burst into a seven-colored halo, then flew out of his hand and merged into the mirror.

The seven-colored halo flashed by, and the image in the mirror remained blurry, but the image in the image was subtly changing.

In the end, no image could be seen in the mirror anymore, only chaos remained. Amidst the distortion, a path slowly opened up from behind the mirror.

Another new realization dawned on Yu Zhun's mind.

Once he steps into the mirror, his second job advancement trial will officially begin.

"Since that's the case," Yu Zhun took a deep breath and stepped inside, "Let's go!"

As Yu Zhun stepped into the mirror, a blinding white light temporarily blinded him. When the light dissipated, Yu Zhun found himself standing on solid ground in a completely unfamiliar place.

It was a bustling neighborhood, with streets full of pedestrians and vendors, and the sounds of hawking and chatting filled the air.

It seems things are going well; I didn't encounter any particularly dangerous situations as soon as I came in.

Yu Zhun breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"kill!!!"

The next instant, a shout of killing suddenly rang out, followed by a continuous stream of shouts of killing. He was startled and looked in the direction of the sound.

Hundreds of cavalrymen on fine horses, clad in excellent armor and armed with standard weapons, charged toward Yu Zhun.

Any pedestrians who blocked their way were swiftly cut in two by one of the cavalrymen, and soon commotion and cries of distress rang out one after another.

Were they targeting me?

Yu Zhun couldn't help but turn around and glance at the vast crowd behind him.

One of the men, dressed in fine clothes, was looking terrified and trying to hide himself in the crowd.

It seems they weren't targeting me.

Yu Zhun shook his head, then calmly drew two daggers from his waist and walked towards the cavalry.

I'm sorry, but he's targeting the other person now.

Seeing Yu Zhun walking against the crowd towards them, the cavalry leader showed a disdainful expression and waved his hand.

The cavalrymen following closely behind him understood, spurred their horses on, and raised their weapons high.

A chilling glint flashed through the air, leaving no doubt that in just a moment, Yu Zhun's body would be torn to shreds by these weapons, or trampled into a bloody pulp by the iron hooves of warhorses.

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, Yu Zhun calmly took a step forward.

A gray domain instantly enveloped the entire area, the warhorses' raised forelegs stiffened instantly, and the weapons they wielded seemed to be slowed down, their slashing speed abruptly decreasing.

"clang--"

The death knell tolls.
