Chapter 716 Mental Force Combat Techniques - Origin, Lv5.

Cheng Tian entered Behemoth form, but this did not lead to the failure of the challenge mission.

Because this transformation ability, granted by the third enhanced bloodline obtained through defeating and absorbing the essence of Behemoth's bloodline, clearly conforms to the "physical" ability system in terms of judgment.

As the transformation was complete, Cheng Tian's health and mana bars, which, while not as powerful as Bear Grylls' original form, were comparable to the battle-hardened warrior before him, also surged due to the temporary change in the template.

力血比从1：50暴涨到了1:400，对应的HP从2650点暴涨到了20250点。

精蓝比则是从1:60增长到了1:200，对应的MP则是从5760点暴涨到了19200点。

Starting with a big move might seem a bit reckless at first glance, but it's actually the safest move so far. This surge in health and mana will significantly reduce the data difference between him and Nergigante. Even if the 8-minute transformation time isn't enough for him to defeat Nergigante, when he's forced to revert to human form, his health and mana will be reduced by a percentage, thus preserving more health and mana.

Unable to unleash the Light and Shadow Serpent form using the Sun Mask, Cheng Tian didn't know Meimei's specific stats. However, as an old Azure Star veteran, he had a general idea of ​​the ancient dragon's stats.

Perhaps because it had never seen anyone transform into an unknown monster the same size as itself after taking just a few steps, even the incredibly experienced Nergigante was momentarily stunned, allowing Cheng Tian's fist, now a massive black pillar, to smash down upon it.

However, just as Cheng Tian's claws were about to touch Nergigante's head, they took a very tricky turn, slamming the dragon's head just past its head and smashing it into the ground, shattering the surface.

With a choking sensation, Nergigante's entire body was forcibly lifted off the ground, leaving only its two relatively short hind legs and thick tail supporting it.

At the same time, a violent whirlwind descended from the sky, enveloping both giant beasts simultaneously.

Anyone who witnessed Cheng Tian's previous spellcasting would have assumed that he was releasing a giant vortex, but Hao Gui immediately saw through the deception.

This is Cheng Tian using the power of the giant serpent within him to guide the forces of nature and create a storm. Although it may seem like he's using a trick, it definitely falls under the category of martial arts. In other words—

"I watched TV!!! (Say goodbye/Dark lament)"

A roar, perfectly matching his size and appearance, with a distinctly animalistic quality, emanated from Cheng Tian's throat.

Unlike the Great Whirlpool, which indiscriminately knocks back all enemies, the storm surrounding the Nergigante, which is currently being strangled by Cheng Tian and suspended in mid-air, is causing continuous wind pressure and damage to the thorns on its body!

Yes, that's right. Cheng Tian, ​​in the form of Behemoth, used the signature move of Breath of Storms, Dark Lament.

At first glance, it looks like a spellcasting act, but it is actually a genuine fighting technique inherited from "The King of Fighters '97 MUGEN". Although it cannot directly use the Great Whirlwind, the casting ability of the Great Whirlwind gives this Dark Lament additional damage. When the special move is about to end, and Meimei is thrown away by Cheng Tian with great force, it is clear that it is also covered with a lot of thorn fragments.

On Cheng Tian's side, however, there was no loss of resources.

The reason lies in the S-level skills in his fixed skill bar.

Due to the limitations of the Strength and Agility dual-extreme breakthrough challenge, skills such as Night Parade of Demons, Overlord, Titan's Grip, Demon Concerto, and Midnight Blessing are all unusable. However, only "Origin of Mental Force Combat Techniques" is a mentally specialized combat skill that is still usable.

As an S-rank skill, the Mental Force Combat Technique can only be enhanced using Gold Skill Points. However, because of this, each upgrade of an S-rank skill has a quality comparable to a crucial qualitative change in an A-rank or lower skill.

Even if the coefficient isn't 1, it should still be around 0.8.

Before entering the current instance, Cheng Tian had saved up a total of 4 gold skill points, but he was not in a hurry to use them.

But when he saw the old man selling fruit at the Starry Sky Stronghold, a strange idea lingered in his mind. After the dual extreme value challenge mission was triggered, Cheng Tian did not hesitate any longer and used all his gold skill points on mental power combat techniques, raising them all the way to Lv5.

A player's own state and their strong desire at the time will interfere with the final effect of skill enhancement. This is the main reason why the same skill will have different effects on different players and will be further enhanced.

The appearance of Akuma clearly gave Cheng Tian strong ideas such as "fighting" and "Orochi power VS killing intent wave" in his mind. Therefore, when the mental power combat technique was upgraded, it also showed a very obvious effect tendency.
