Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 773 A Vast Sky, Sword Sweeps Across Mountains and Rivers

As his body completely left the Tongtian River area, the aura emanating from the Great King Linggan visibly shrank.

As a pure water spirit, the goldfish spirit's overall strength is greatly affected once it leaves the water source.

Although the goldfish spirit also possesses ranged attack magic, most of it relies on water to unleash.

Cheng Tian, ​​who chose to retreat tactically, had already forcibly taken the goldfish spirit away from the Tongtian River by locking onto it with hatred, and guided it to a relatively drier land and forest area.

Although there are some water resources available here, they are negligible compared to the vast Tongtian River.

As the anger that had been controlling her brain gradually subsided and her intelligence regained its advantage, the goldfish spirit suddenly realized how unfavorable her situation was. At the same time, Cheng Tian, ​​who had just been flying at full speed to "escape," turned around, and a flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing a brand new weapon.

As the saying goes, "Holding a three-pointed, double-edged divine blade, he is like the Huaguang Zang Master." The symbolic object of Erlang Shen Yang Jian, whose forehead is covered by a third eye, is the three-pointed, double-edged sword that Cheng Tian is holding in his hand at this moment, which is used as a template weapon.

Such a unique weapon, like the three-pointed double-edged sword, with its three-pronged blade capable of stabbing, picking, chopping, and slicing, is basically only seen in myths and legends about military generals, which also indirectly confirms the difficulty of using this weapon.

However, the moment Cheng Tian's hand grasped the long handle, the instinct to use a long weapon, which was the default trait of the Erlang Shen template, spontaneously emerged from every cell in his body.

In fact, as Cheng Tian himself gradually became stronger, his initial talent "Game Master" also quietly became stronger. This was reflected in the fact that some abilities that initially needed to be displayed through template skills, such as "Vampire Magic Hunter" and the corresponding "Long Whip Mastery".

Now, Cheng Tian not only has the physical strength to withstand the full power of the BOSS, but he can also directly use any template ability and corresponding bonus that is not displayed on the panel.

Take the current Erlang Shen template as an example. Whether it's the influence on water sources or the experience of using surprise attacks, as long as Cheng Tian's physical body, spirit, and soul are strong enough, he can unleash them to the limit that he can bear.

Upon seeing the divine weapon in Cheng Tian's hand, the goldfish spirit, realizing how dangerous the situation was, almost without thinking, smoothly turned its head and immediately tried to run away.

But how could Cheng Tian, ​​who had already lured him far away from the Tongtian River, easily let him leave?

With a swing of the longsword, the goldfish spirit, who had just accelerated, crashed headfirst into an invisible barrier. From a high-altitude perspective, it would be clear that the goldfish spirit was completely enveloped within a purplish-black spherical enclosure.

Heart Barrier Nightmare Form.

Cheng Tian hadn't used this move, which was meant to predict and capture others, for a long time. This was mainly because he had experienced too many large-scale battles at the legion level, which greatly increased the frequency of using the Guardian Barrier. The Nightmare Trap, which could only capture a small number of units, was not only somewhat weak in terms of numerical value, but also had many limitations in its use.

Based on its original skill effects, it's actually okay for capturing players, but it's clearly not up to the task of dealing with boss units of this level.

The goldfish spirit wiped some blood off its forearm and then swung its hammer at the barrier!

With just one hammer blow, the entire trap barrier shook violently, on the verge of shattering. The nine-petaled red copper hammer in the goldfish spirit's hand was no ordinary object; it was a natal magic weapon forged from unopened lotus buds in Guanyin Bodhisattva's lotus pond, possessing immense power even in non-aquatic environments.

Logically speaking, this trap barrier, which has a maximum of 1310 HP, should be broken by a single angry hammer blow... But the reality is quite different. The barrier, which was originally full of cracks, is actually recovering at a rapid pace in an unbelievable way!

Correspondingly, Cheng Tian's blue bar decreased.

This Nightmare Trap actually exhibits some characteristics of the Holy Light Barrier!
After the previous main storyline dungeon ended, Cheng Tian didn't hesitate to invest the newly acquired gold skill points into the Mental Force Combat Technique, raising it to the critical Lv7 level.

Previously, levels Lv2 to Lv5 were mostly related to mental fighters, but this time Lv7 is different.

[Origin of Mental Force Combat Technique: Lv7. You have mastered some skills and moves involving the use of mental force. When you cast any spell, you can add up to two "independent effects" from the descriptions of other spells you possess to the current spell.]

Although Cheng Tian is now using the Nightmare Trap, while maintaining all the original basic effects, he has also added the original Holy Light Barrier's "all damage to the barrier is transferred to the caster's mana loss" and "the barrier's MP to HP conversion ratio is 1:10" to the Nightmare Trap.

In other words, with the addition of these two extra effects, the Goldfish Spirit needs to deal a full 7.86 points of regular damage to successfully destroy the Nightmare Trap released by Cheng Tian, ​​who has full attribute bonuses and a full mana bar.

The goldfish spirit's nine-petaled red copper hammer is incredibly powerful. Theoretically, even a player like Cheng Tian, ​​who has achieved a breakthrough in strength and has a high strength-to-health ratio due to his bloodline enhancement, would be killed instantly if he took three hits from the opponent. Not to mention other ordinary strength-specialized players.

However, the extremely high hammer damage corresponds to an extremely slow hammering speed. Each time the goldfish spirit strikes, it needs at least several seconds to recover its strength. Forget about striking six times per second.

Although the vortex created by the Heavenly Eye Divine Power consumed about 20% of Cheng Tian's mana, according to the current attack rhythm of the Goldfish Spirit, it would take about 42 more heavy hammer blows and about 3 minutes to truly break through Cheng Tian's barrier.

Of course, the premise is that the goldfish spirit will not get tired or use other supernatural powers, and that he, Cheng, will not interfere at all and just watch the other side try to break the deadlock... But how is that possible?
"The sky stretches for thousands of miles—"

Accompanied by Cheng Qi's powerful sword technique and the brightening of his third eye, sword-like weapons began to rapidly generate around him, their tips pointing upwards and floating in the air.

However, upon closer inspection, one will discover that a large number of swords and weapons that Cheng Tian had stored in the King's Treasure are mixed in here, and that they are both real and illusory!

These flying swords, like living birds, rapidly circled around Cheng Tian, ​​forming a small tornado of flying swords, and then—

"Sword Sweep...Mountains and Rivers!!!!!"

Under the almost terrified gaze of the goldfish spirit, countless flying swords rained down on it, heading straight for the trapped creature!
