Chapter 75 - 63: Shadow Canopy and Frog Transformation Skills (2nd Update)
“Attribute Panel…”
Chen Fan’s eyes lit up slightly.
If he could still see the attribute panel of a guardian beast or monster after they had turned invisible, their invisibility would be useless against him!
Chen Fan couldn’t forget the fear of being dominated by rogues (prowlers) in the game in the past…
Assassins would stealth, then use a surprise attack to stun the enemy, and finally unleash their skills.
For a few years, the prowlers in the game were terrifying to the extreme… After a round of skill burst, the enemy could be instantly defeated!
Especially some prowlers with spiritual artifacts, their attack power was truly terrifying.
Elder Ape, this Shadow Assassin, has a bright future.
Chen Fan’s expression shifted slightly, pointing to the position of Elder Ape and whispered, “Feicui, blow a small gust of wind.”
Feicui opened her mouth slightly. A small storm swept out…
“Whoosh!”
Elder Ape covered his eyes and revealed his figure.
As expected, “Shadow Canopy” would be destroyed if attacked.
Chen Fan hugged Feicui in his arms, then retreated a few steps, and said again, “Elder Ape, use ‘Shadow Canopy’ to cover Gangzi.”
Elder Ape acted accordingly.
The next moment, he and Gangzi disappeared simultaneously.
“Chirp!”
Feicui was startled and jumped out of Chen Fan’s arms, looking for Gangzi and Elder Ape everywhere.
Elder Ape, with a combat power level of 3, can only cover a diameter of four meters with “Shadow Canopy.” But Chen Fan didn’t care.
Because he knew that after raising Elder Ape’s combat power level to 4 or even 5, the range of “Shadow Canopy” would definitely increase.
Chen Fan then had Elder Ape use another skill, “Shadow Claw.”
With red eyes, Elder Ape spun around like a whirlwind, dark qi emitted from his two claws as he lunged forward, grabbing a large rock.
“Crack! ”
That large rock was directly shattered by more than half!
“Close-range single-target attack, very fast.”
Chen Fan nodded, “If combined with ‘Shadow Canopy,’ ordinary beastmasters and guardian beasts would find it difficult to avoid this.” “But the attack is a little monotonous.”
“Not necessarily better than wielding two daggers.” Elder Ape scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
“Don’t worry too much.”
Chen Fan smiled and said, “After we increase your combat power level later, you might awaken even more powerful offensive skills, or this ‘Shadow Claw’ may evolve into a more terrifying offensive skill.”
As he spoke, he pointed at Gangzi and said, “Try using ‘Frog Transformation’ on Gangzi.”
Elder Ape glanced at Gangzi.
Gangzi held his head high… Use whatever skills you have, my strong defense doesn’t care!
Elder Ape lightly clapped his claws, his eyes flashed red, and the two beams of red light converged, landing on Gangzi.
Gangzi suddenly turned into a foot-long frog with a “plop.”
“Chirp, chirp!”
Feicui was startled and circled around the frog twice.
Even Snowy, who was training hard, couldn’t help but look at the frog that Gangzi had turned into and sent two “Thunder Flash” attacks before returning.
Four seconds later…
Gangzi turned back to normal.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What happened to me?
Gangzi turned around, looking confused.
Using Purple Crystal Armor to cover his whole body, he still couldn’t block Elder Ape’s skill?
This made Gangzi quite sullen.
“Four seconds…”
Chen Fan pondered.
After helping Elder Ape improve both his Combat Power Level and Species Level, the duration of his Frog Transformation skill should definitely increase.
It’s just unclear how long this skill would last for a level 4 or level 5 Elder Ape.
It’s no wonder the three major academies and several major families are fighting tooth and nail over Elder Ape, an unexpected controller-type Shadow Assassin!
“Alright.”
Chen Fan spoke softly, “Snowy, you’ll train in the western area; Feicui in the eastern area with the lake; Gangzi in the south, and Elder Ape in the north.” “I have a way to help you improve your skill proficiency, but my energy is far from sufficient at the moment.
“So, in the initial stages, you’ll mainly have to ponder and practice on your own.”
“After you’ve fully mastered your individual skills, we’ll practice how to cooperate in battle in a few days.”
The four Guardian Beasts happily dispersed, each heading off to train.
Chen Fan sat by the stone table and opened his laptop.
The material “Furious Thunder Profound Spirit” needed for Snowy to break through to level 5 was still out of stock.
He couldn’t even preorder “Spirit Dragon Dew”… Who knows how long Li Fengxing from Celestial Academy will be hospitalized.
Considering Snowy’s feelings, Chen Fan temporarily put off upgrading Feicui to level 5.
However, it should be no problem to upgrade Gangzi and Elder Ape to level 4. Once they all reach level 4, he can help them improve their Species Levels within the week.
But money is becoming an issue…
The cost of materials for a Guardian Beast to progress from level 3 to level 4 is usually around 30,000.
Material consumption primarily depends on Potential Level.
For high Potential Levels, like Elder Ape with 7 stars, fewer materials are required and the cost is lower.
But if a I-star Potential Level Guardian Beast needs to be upgraded from level 3 to level 4, the cost would be much higher.
Chen Fan opened WeChat and sent a message to his headteacher, Li Sheng: “Teacher, what about the 80,000 yuan subsidy you applied for me? My flowers are withering from waiting.”
Li Sheng immediately replied with an angry emoji: “It’s only been one day since the start of the semester! Do the flowers in your home wither that easily?”
Chen Fan sent a pitiful emoji: “Teacher, you know I have four Guardian Beasts now; raising them costs a lot of money. If the funds don’t arrive soon, they’ll be left out in the cold.’
At that moment, there was a flash of lightning, and Snowy appeared on the stone table, grabbed a Hill Chicken, and ran off.
Li Sheng didn’t respond.
Just when Chen Fan thought Li Sheng was angry, a message came from Li Sheng: “I just called the Director of Instruction; wait until tomorrow, he said he’ll urge the finance department to expedite the payment which should arrive tomorrow.”
“By the way, why aren’t you practicing at school? Where did you go?”
“I asked Chu Xuan, and he said you went to ride a crane to the west.”
Chen Fan:
Damn it!
How could Chu Xuan say things like that?
I came to the Beast Trainer Association on a White Crane. How did it turn into “riding a crane to the west”?
“Riding a crane to the west” implies riding a crane to heaven!
Moreover, the Beast Trainer Association is clearly to the east of War God Academy!
Feeling upset, Chen Fan closed WeChat and spent his remaining money on materials.
After doing all this, Chen Fan stood up and walked to a stone pillar.
Snowy and the others need to train, and so does he.
The damn thing is, he has a sword, but he doesn’t know any sword techniques.
War God Academy definitely has sword techniques, but they require money or contribution points.
Chen Fan held the Long Knife, urged his Star Power, and struck the stone pillar repeatedly, leaving several notches on it.
Speechless…
When untrained, swinging a fist is called “Tortoise Fist.”
Swinging a Long Knife without training… would it be called “Tortoise Saber”? Just then, a deep male voice sounded: “Junior, that’s not how you use a knife..”
