This time, Lufeng received two tasks from Zhou Tianshi at once, namely the Silver-Wrapped Martial Arts Tournament and Way to Make Money. Additionally, he was rewarded with a Boiling Blood Skill book.
Boiling Blood, as the name suggests, is used to increase the owner's Stamina. It is divided into Boiling Blood and Advanced Boiling Blood. Boiling Blood cannot be upgraded, while Advanced Boiling Blood can be upgraded through Spirit Beast Pills. Boiling Blood costs 396 gold coins in the shop, and Advanced Boiling Blood costs 596 gold coins, which shows how much Zhou Tianshi values it. However, it is also a way to attract players to achieve greater strength.
The rewards in Asking Heaven are personally given by NPCs; the System does not automatically send them. Zhou Tianshi has become the best Celestial Master, guiding all players on their paths of leveling up and cultivation while also providing good equipment and Skill Books as experience rewards.
After obtaining Boiling Blood, Lufeng bid farewell to Zhou Tianshi and then went to Luoyang Rare Beast Shop, where he found Yun Miaomiao. He spent one gold coin to have Crocodile Baby learn the Boiling Blood Skill, which increased his health by over 700 after possession.
This kind of soul possession involves the Rare Beast's spirit attaching itself to the player. If the baby has not learned a possession skill, then after level 45, any possessed baby can be used to enhance combat power with an overall attribute increase of +10. If a possession skill like Boiling Blood is learned, it can further increase the owner's attributes.
People often say that buying babies requires three tens: Insight 10, Spirit 10, Fusion 10. The bonuses for Insight and Spirit are clearly marked (Insight 10 bonus is 1.393, Spirit 10 bonus is 1.31). However, who can clearly state how Fusion Degree affects possession effects? This is a question worth pondering for all players since Fusion Degree is the hardest to improve. A forum expert named Chen Someone has unraveled this "ancient mystery"!
Chen Someone used data references and chose a possessed baby that was a Double Ten Top Variant Rock Soul with a Spiritual Energy Aptitude of 4093. The possession skills were Super Blood Boil, Super Release Xuan, Super Flame, Super Poison, and Super Ice, all at level four. The baby's level was 45; such a four-attribute baby is suitable for Sky Dragon Players as its skills are top-notch and have been upgraded with Spirit Beast Pills. The higher the level, the greater the additional attributes.
Chen Someone listed all the possession effects and enhancement data from Fusion Level 0 to 10. The data was very precise; for instance, when Fusion Level was 0, health increased by 3337 after possession. When Fusion Level was raised to 10, health increased by 3955. This shows that the improvement in possession effects due to Fusion Degree is not particularly significant; the overall enhancement effect is only 18.5%. Among them, Super Blood Boil, Super Release Xuan, Super Flame, Super Poison, and Super Ice were all raised to level four. In addition to an overall attribute increase of +10, health limit increased by 3955, and Ice, Fire, Xuan, and Poison Attack increased by +85. With such high possession effects at level 45, it is enough to astonish most players.
However, for Lufeng and others at present, a baby with over 4000 Quality is quite expensive. Moreover, considering that Insight, Spirit, and Fusion are all raised to level 10, it might be equivalent to five Sunglasses Cats with Insight level 10. In Asking Heaven, apart from Heavy Tower Nine Star Equipment, possessed babies are among the most expensive items; if it’s a high-level possessed baby with over 4800 Quality, its value exceeds that of a piece of heavy equipment.
Lufeng and others used Second-Generation Crocodile possessed babies with Stamina Aptitude over 1600. After Beast Soul Possession, in addition to an overall attribute increase of +10, everyone gained an extra health boost of over 700. Not only that but there was also a refreshing feeling that provided a sense of spiritual elevation and even transcendence of the soul. The pleasure was indescribable; from everyone's expressions, it was clear they were all enchanted by the wonderful feeling after Beast Soul Possession.
"Experiencing Beast Soul Possession firsthand is just amazing!" Qin Shou exclaimed involuntarily.
"Yeah! You finally said something true! Haha! It would be even better if we had Dragon Dance, Flying Phoenix, and Phantom Butterfly," Gao Shou laughed heartily.
Murong Xiaoxiao looked puzzled and asked, "What are Dragon Dance, Fei Feng, and Phantom Butterfly?"
"Soul Fusion Pill!" Wang Xiaojing replied lightly, glancing at Gao Chao, feeling that he was being too extravagant; such high-end luxury items were not for ordinary people.
"Soul Fusion Pill?" Seeing Wang Xiaojing's expression, Murong Xiaoxiao became even more confused.
Lufeng smiled slightly and explained, "The Soul Fusion Pill has effects after possession. When using the Soul Fusion Pill for possession, living entities will appear around our bodies, with their size related to the Fusion Degree..."
However, when used in Asking Heaven, it is as if real Dragon Dance or Fei Feng swirl around the player, with Phantom Butterfly growing on the back. The effect of the Soul Fusion Pill is not influenced by the character's gender; both males and females can use Dragon Dance, Fei Feng, and Phantom Butterfly. They are all available in the Coin Shop for several thousand gold coins. For Lufeng and others, not having this and needing to buy it is quite extravagant since it does not increase attributes. Additionally, the range of swirling around the body is also affected by the Fusion Degree; the higher the Fusion Degree, the more pronounced the effect. If Insight and Spirit are not at 10, they cannot fuse to 10. The higher the Fusion Degree, the larger Dragon Dance becomes; of course, it also increases attributes and health. When fused to 10, Dragon Dance will spiral around the body. That baby would cost at least 80,000 gold coins; one Tongbao equals one gold coin. If Lufeng and others wanted to get a baby with Insight, Spirit, and Fusion all at 10 now, they wouldn't be able to do it for less than 100,000 gold coins.
"Oh, I see!" Xiaoxiao nodded, imagining but not saying anything out loud. However, Lufeng noticed everything and would still fulfill Xiaoxiao's small request when conditions matured.
Although Dragon Dance, Fei Feng, and Phantom Butterfly have no gender restrictions, male players definitely would not use Phantom Butterfly or Soul Fusion Pill since this Soul Fusion Pill only allows a pair of butterfly wings to grow on their backs. Without a level 3 possession baby, the effect is not obvious and seems somewhat petty. Dragon Dance and Fei Feng appear grander and more attractive and are therefore more popular.
Lufeng had used Dragon Dance before while playing Heavenly Dragon; however, those ingots were earned through treasure hunting with Qin Shou and others. After using Dragon Dance for possession, there was only a small dragon without claws moving on Martial Soul. As the Fusion Degree of the Rare Beast increased with possession, the appearance of the dragon changed from small to large! At level 3 of Fusion Degree, it took on a dragon form! After reaching level 5 of Fusion Degree, the System prompted that further improvement in Fusion Degree was needed! This required Insight from Rare Beasts; Spirit must also keep up to improve—quite a hassle. For this reason, Lufeng had to create four accounts to dig maps every day. Within a month, he earned tens of thousands of gold coins and purchased many ingots from other players. In the following month, Lufeng raised the possession baby's Fusion Degree, Spirit, and Insight all to 10, achieving an effect where dragon shadows surrounded his entire body—his aura suddenly became imposing.
In summary, it was very costly; ordinary people simply could not afford it. Raising Fusion Degree was just like raising Insight and Spirit Energy! There would always be failures leading to reversion! Only at levels 4, 7, and 9 of Fusion Degree would failures not result in loss; raising from level 7 back down to level 4 was particularly frustrating.
When it came to Soul Fusion Pill, everyone was very interested. Ultimately, it was Wang Xiaojing who brought everyone back to reality: "Alright, now let's go complete other tasks for Zhou Tianshi!"
Hearing Wang Xiaojing's words brought Lufeng back to his senses. Reflecting on the past evoked an inescapable shadow filled with both bitterness and sweetness—a feeling that was hard to articulate. Each recollection was hard to forget; he would even involuntarily return to that excitement and passion from past failures and successes.
