Skill Combination, Sword Aura Storm

When everyone saw that they had not ripped off a fat sheep, their eyes were filled with resentment and jealousy.

At this moment, they all hated Zhou Han and threatened to teach him a lesson.

If it weren't for the fact that fighting was forbidden in Blue Thunder City, they would have attacked long ago.

At this moment, Zhou Han had no idea that he had been inexplicably hated.

Even if he knew, it didn't matter. He didn't care about these cannon fodder at all.

[A cultivation technique for learning has been detected. Do you want to learn it?]

When Zhou Han found an empty corner and took out the Grand Primordium Ancient Scroll, a system notification came.

"Learn."

[You have successfully learned the Grand Primordium Ancient Scroll (Incomplete). Please check.]

Zhou Han did not check immediately. Instead, he enhanced it six times because his enhancement points were not enough for more.

[Skill Combination +6: When any skill is fused, the new skill has a 90% chance to increase its grade.]

After checking, Zhou Han's eyes lit up.

He remembered the earlier description clearly. It required two similar skills.

Now, there was no need for this condition. Any skill could be combined, and there was no limit to the number.

Initially, the new skill had an extremely low chance of increasing its grade.

But now that the probability had increased to 90%, as long as his luck was not too bad, it would basically succeed.

Zhou Han felt very satisfied. Now, he had to give it a try and see what the skill after fusion was like.

Immediately, he hesitated. What skill fusion should he try?

His current skills were: Sky Splitting Slash, Eight Directional Heaven Splitter, Falling Leaf Sword, and Shadow Soul Spike.

Sword Soul's class skills: Cross Slash, Levitation, and Sword Technique Expertise.

He took a look. The Eight Directional Heaven Splitter had a stun effect. This could not be fused for the time being.

On the other hand, the Shadow Soul Spike was a soul attack that had some unexpected effects. This could not be fused either.

It was better to fuse the Sky Splitting Slash and Falling Leaf Sword with the Cross Slash first. After all, the output of these skills could not keep up now.

[The skills you chose have been successfully fused. The excess enhancement points have been returned.]

"Hmm?"

It was good that the enhancement points could be refunded. This could save a lot of trouble.

[New skill Sword Qi Storm has been formed. Please check it!]

The effects of the enhancement were also displayed.

[Sword Aura Storm +6: Summon hundreds of sword auras to form a storm, causing 15 times of true damage to all enemy units within 20 meters. Cooldown: 20 seconds.]

Good lord, 15 times of true damage!

The Divine-grade cultivation technique, the Grand Primordium Ancient Scroll, was indeed heaven-defying. Just by casually fusing skills, it had a true damage effect.

Looking at the remaining skills, Zhou Han had an urge to directly fuse them.

However, he still endured it. These skills were still very useful at the moment. If he rashly fused them, his combat strength might decrease.

After tidying up, Zhou Han also began to queue up to register for the selection competition.

Soon it was his turn after an hour of waiting in line.

"This is your number plate. It will randomly match you to different opponents. Only by winning all of them can you enter the qualifying competition…"

After the young lady at the registration reception recorded Zhou Han's information, she handed him a wooden token and explained the relevant matters.

Zhou Han nodded and looked at the number 19 on the wooden sign.

[Participation Wooden Token]: A mission item. With this card, you can obtain the qualification to participate in the selection competition.

'I wondered what effects would appear after I enhanced it.'

Now, Zhou Han's first reaction was to enhance anything he saw.

There was no special effect after enhancing it once.

Two enhancements.

'Wait… There's been a change.'

[Participation Wooden Token +2]: Quest item. With this card, you can directly enter the top 100.

Three enhancements.

[Participation Wooden Token +3]: Quest item. With this card, you can directly enter the top 10.

[You are temporarily ranked tenth in the Talent Selection Competition. You have reached the mission completion standard. Do you want to complete the mission immediately?]

After three enhancements, a notification came from the system.

This was not bad. After enhancing, it directly raised his ranking to tenth place. It was simply too satisfying.

"I'm not settling the mission for now!"

The mission rewards were calculated according to the ranking. The reward for the tenth place was too low. Zhou Han's goal was first place.

"Enhance it again!"

[It has reached the limit of the item's enhancement. The enhancement has failed.]

"Did it fail?"

There was no disappointment in Zhou Han's eyes. If he really continued to enhance it like this, it would just give him an award automatically.

After asking the staff, the top ten were the final.

Today was the qualifying round. Tomorrow was the real finals.

"That's good too. I don't have to waste time here. I can go out of the city to farm monsters now."

Zhou Han did not waste any time and entered the Valley of the Undead.

Soon, Zhou Han's experience points were enough and he reached Level 20.

He had earned tens of thousands of enhancement points.

He had encountered many Silver-grade demonic beasts and a small number of Gold-grade ones.

"Without the EXP buff, leveling up is indeed a little slow! In any case, today's harvest is not bad!"

Zhou Han found a tree, sat down, and started collating his earnings.

However, when he was killing the demonic beasts, he stuffed everything that fell into his bag without looking carefully.

While resting, Zhou Han counted his gains.

He obtained more than 1,000 gold coins, 12 pieces of Silver-grade equipment, and three pieces of Gold-grade equipment.

However, Zhou Han already had the Ghost Set. Gold equipment was useless to him.

"Sigh, it's a pity that there are no Gold-grade sword weapons."

Just as Zhou Han was sighing, two system announcements suddenly sounded.

[Server Announcement: Player Han Xiangning is the second to reach Level 10. Reward: 200 gold coins, 1 gold treasure chest.]

[Server Announcement: Player Han Qinxue is the third to reach Level 10. Reward: 100 gold coins and 2 silver treasure chests.]

After hearing the system announcement, Zhou Han smiled.

"Looks like they're leveling up a little slower without me!"

Zhou Han remembered that they had reached Level 9 yesterday.

Unexpectedly, it was almost dark today and they had only reached Level 10. This was not just slow.

[A friend has sent you a message. Please check it!]

'Friend's message?'

He only had two good friends in total.

It seemed that they had come to report the good news to him.

"Open the friend panel!"

When he opened it, he saw a message flashing.

Both sisters had sent messages.

Han Xiangning: I've finally reached Level 10. I'm so happy!

Han Qinxue: Zhou Han, thank you. We've both reached Level 10.

Zhou Han: "First of all, congratulations. What class do you plan to choose?"

Han Qinxue: I haven't thought about it yet. I'll discuss it with you tonight.

Han Xiangning: Zhou Han, you can open my gold treasure chest! I'm afraid my luck will be as bad as last time.

Ever since she obtained a piece of Ordinary-grade equipment last time, she had been traumatized.
