Chapter 60: Space Refraction LV2
"By the way, my talent hasn't been upgraded yet."

Chu Cheng called out the attribute panel again, his eyes fell on the talent column, and he immediately knew in his mind that he could choose to add new talents or upgrade existing talents.

He exclaimed without hesitation:
"Check out the new talent!"

The next second a light curtain appeared in front of him, and three new talents appeared in front of him.

"Option 1: Fury Blast LV15. Each attack will add a Fury Mark to the target, causing it to receive more damage than the last attack. This lasts for seconds."

"Tip: The damage increases by 20 points each time, and each hit refreshes the duration of the rage mark. This is limited to physical attacks."

"Tip: The anger mark can be dispelled, and the priority is domain level."

"Option 1: Grace of Relief LV, your attack has a certain probability of inflicting a destruction mark on the enemy unit, and this attack will cause a devastating critical hit."

"Tip: 15% chance of applying destruction mark, 300% critical hit damage, limited to physical attacks and physical related skills."

"Tip: The mark of destruction can be dispelled, with priority at the domain level."

"Option 1: Void Mark LV20, applies Void Mark to the target, reducing the target's physical defense by 20 points and magic resistance by 30%, making the target unable to become invisible, unable to teleport, unable to blink, and unable to self-heal, lasting for seconds."

"Tip: The Void Mark can be dispelled, with priority at the domain level."

Two familiar old talents and one new talent. Looking at the name of the new talent, Chu Cheng suspected that it was affected by the previous initiation of void source power.

Being marked with a void mark by those void evil creatures will give rise to a void mark talent.

"Not good!"

Chu Cheng shook his head, his eyes fell on his current talent, and his mind moved:
"Upgrade space refraction!"

The next second, the spatial refraction talent flashed and upgraded from LV1 to LV2, and its attributes also changed greatly.

"Space Refraction LV2, forms a space crystal wall around the body, absorbs 100 points of total damage, and rebounds to up to 100 enemies within a radius of 10 meters, and gains the skill - Space Mark."

"Space Mark: Apply a space mark to a target. The target cannot be invisible. Each physical attack will cause 100 points of extra damage to the target. Teammates will cause 50 points of extra damage to the target."

"Tip: There can only be one space marker at a time, and it will disappear after being 10 kilometers away from you."

"Tip: Both the rebound damage and the additional damage are pure damage, ignoring physical defense and spell resistance, and are full damage."

"Tip: The talent can be turned on and off freely, and the rebound target can be controlled."

"Tip: This talent cannot be dispelled or sealed, and the priority is domain level."

"???"

Chu Cheng was surprised for a moment:
"A new skill has emerged?"

"It's similar to the newly derived Void Mark talent."

"What the book says is correct. The power of upgraded talents will be greatly improved."

The two talents will indeed make it much stronger, but it won’t bring about a qualitative change.

But if you upgrade a talent, its power will change qualitatively from its original basis.

Originally it only absorbed 30 points of damage, but after upgrading it instantly absorbed 100 points of all damage. The rebound range was also expanded many times, and the overall power was a qualitative change.

Being able to upgrade his talent by one level at the most critical moment of the joint entrance examination, Chu Cheng is full of expectations for the upcoming dungeon plot.

"I'm sure I'll get the first place in this joint exam."

After closing the panel, Chu Cheng smiled slightly, and his thoughts began to diverge and fly to other places.

"The first step is to make some money while continuing to improve your reputation."

He had spent all his money on those items to gain reputation, and now he had less than one gold, which was a big gap. And now he still had plenty of time, so he could continue to gain reputation and buy reputation items.

His reputation has reached the level of Exalted. The reputation consumed will not affect his reputation level, and his reputation level will not drop due to consumption. As long as he has enough reputation and money, he can continue to exchange for Exalted reputation items.

"However, at this stage, there are not many places nearby that are suitable for large-scale reputation gain."

It has been a month since they entered the dungeon. Most of the easy targets near the Golden Wasteland have been killed by them, and the remaining ones are either too remote or too hard to deal with.

For example, deep in the northern and western wilderness, there are several large alien tribes.

It is even larger than the previous Centaur tribe. The tribe leaders are all big bosses of the terrifying template of level 40 or above. They are very powerful. Even if his talents are upgraded, he may not be able to do anything to them.

Each of these large tribes can earn thousands of reputation points, five to ten points, and possibly one point of authority.

The treasure chest of the BOSS with the horror template of more than level 40 will definitely contain red rare equipment, or props of the same level.

"Well"

“It seems like we can give it a try.”

As long as you can solve one, the profit will be at least ten gold.

Chu Cheng is also a decisive person. He does what he says. Early the next morning, he contacted the outpost's material transportation team and prepared to follow the team to the northern outpost.

He spent 10 silver coins to get a seat and sat down in the ox cart full of goods.

As soon as we followed the convoy out of the north gate of the Cross Fortress, we saw a team waiting outside the north gate. They joined the convoy, and then two people came straight to Chu Cheng's ox cart and sat on it.

"Sun Yu?"

The people who came were from Class 1, a total of twelve people, led by Sun Yu and Pan Yue.

After getting in the car, Sun Yu sat opposite Chu Cheng and asked with a smile:
"I heard that the school has invested a lot of resources in this joint exam, and has added a lot of good things that were not available before in the Exalted reputation items. Chu Cheng has quietly gained Exalted reputation. We are very curious about what good things are in it. I wonder if Chu Cheng is willing to help us solve this puzzle?"

"Come to see me specially?"

Chu Cheng smiled and said:
"There are indeed quite a few good things, three rare-level equipment, all weapons, a mage professional certificate, three advanced professional certificates, some gems, scrolls, mounts, and the most valuable is a chance to infuse the void magic array with source power, which can improve the attributes."

The expressions of several people froze, and Sun Yu immediately asked:

"Is that void magic circle still there?"

Chu Cheng shook his head:

"There was only one spot available, and I used it."

"Okay!"

The shock in his eyes was clearly visible.

However, the shock was fleeting, and a smile appeared on Sun Yu's face again, and he said:
"Student Chu Cheng is returning to the Northern Outpost this time to continue to improve his reputation?"

"Yes."

"As far as I know, all the small and medium-sized tribes in most parts of the Golden Wasteland have been wiped out, leaving only the large tribes. I don't think Chu Cheng can handle it alone."

Chu Cheng glanced at him and said lightly:

"What do you want to say?"

Sun Yu smiled and said:

"Our team is going back to do something big this time. The failure of the previous attack on Blackstone Fortress made us realize that our strength is still insufficient. It is too difficult to attack such a military fortress directly. It is better to change to a slightly easier target."
