Chapter 142 Choosing Hextech
The three new Hextech runes floating in front of Chen Xu are:
[The Resolute Will of a Giant]: Obtain 1 [The Resolute Will of a Titan], and obtain another one after completing 2 battles.
All your Titan's Resolve can be stacked up to 50 times, instead of 25.
Total resistance bonus increased by 50%.
[Colossal Titan: Increases your current lifespan by 20%, but reduces your speed by 50% when fleeing.]
[Choose a good companion! : Your next Tier 1 monster will become Tier 3. After contracting, you will receive 2 suitable items.]
"It's a combination of rainbow, silver, and gold?" Chen Xu looked at the three Hextech runes and began to analyze and select.
He looked at the first prismatic rune, "The Resolute Will of a Towering Giant," and frowned slightly.
Some of them are too weak; you need to stack [Titan's Resolve] to 50 layers to trigger the immunity to crowd control.
For Chen Xu, this could be considered a negative gain.
Moreover... now that Chen Xu has the [Radiant Titan's Resolve], he can no longer enjoy the effect of the [Giant Giant's Resolve].
Naturally, this Hextech rune would not be chosen.
Chen Xu turned his gaze to the second silver rune and sneered inwardly.
A 20% increase in lifespan is indeed quite attractive.
But the escape speed is reduced by 50%...
This extended lifespan is probably just money prepared for a live target's coffin.
The world of cultivation is fraught with danger and unpredictability, so binding one's own legs is certainly not a wise move.
Finally, Chen Xu's gaze fell on the last golden Hextech object.
"Pick a good buddy!" Chen Xu made his choice the moment he saw the Hextech effect.
The next Tier 1 monster in the contract becomes Tier 3, which means... as long as Chen Xu chooses this Hextech, he will soon have a Core Formation monster!
This can be said to be the most significant boost to Chen Xu's combat power since he encountered so many Hextech runes.
Without hesitation, Chen Xu quickly chose ["Choose a good buddy!"]
After choosing the Hextech rune, he fell into deep thought again, weighing the options for his contract.
Currently, I only have two first-tier demonic beasts that I'm raising.
One of them, naturally, is Qingling, who has been stuck in the late stage of Qi Refining.
The other one is the Xuan Shui Ling Turtle hatchlings being raised at the fishpond in Meteor City.
The Xuan Shui Ling Turtle grows extremely slowly.
Three years have passed, and its cultivation progress has been slow, remaining at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
Chen Xu was more inclined to form a contract with Qingling, or wait for a suitable monster to form a contract with.
However, Qingling's situation was special, and Chen Xu could not use coercive means to form a contract.
After some thought, he decided to ask Qingling a question after she woke up.
……
The following day, in a secluded stone cave in Yunzhou.
Chen Xu waved his sleeve to set up a restriction, took out the Beast Taming Ring, and released Qing Ling.
Its eyes were closed at this moment, and it was clearly still asleep.
"Qingling." Chen Xu pointed to her forehead and channeled a gentle spiritual energy into her.
Qingling's body trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes: "Brother?"
Chen Xu asked directly, "Would you be willing to sign a contract with me and become my spirit pet?"
Qingling raised her head slightly, her tone resolute: "Without my brother, Ling'er would probably have been annihilated long ago. Of course I'm willing..."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Chen Xu's eyes.
I never expected that Qingling, with her missing memories, could say such things.
He then nodded slightly, no longer hesitating, raised his hand to summon a soul imprint, and pointed it from a distance.
The soul imprint instantly transformed into a stream of light and entered Qingling's brow.
Book lovers are all in the discussion area, chatting about the charm of Xianxia novels.
The moment the Soul Imprint entered, the Hextech Rune, "[Pick a good buddy!]", began to exert its power.
Outside the cave, the once clear sky was instantly swallowed up by thick, dark blue clouds.
A chilling wind rose out of nowhere, emitting a shrill howl like the wailing of ghosts and wolves.
Wherever the eerie wind passed, the vegetation withered and died rapidly, and the chilling, ghostly aura was so thick that it almost materialized.
This is precisely the "Yin Sha Devouring Spirit" phenomenon triggered by a Ghost Dao cultivator breaking through to the Golden Core stage.
Although Chen Xu was prepared, the layers of concealment and protection arrays he had set up around the stone cave instantly lit up, trying his best to suppress most of the strange fluctuations.
However, this phenomenon of Core Formation was too vast to be completely concealed even with the array operating at full power.
The chilling pressure, the dark blue clouds that blotted out the sky, and the howling winds still inevitably leaked some of their power.
Such an unusual phenomenon naturally attracted trouble.
"I am Li Luo of the Tianyan Sect. May I ask what kind of evil spirit or demon dares to wreak havoc in this area?!"
A voice filled with righteous indignation tore through the howling wind.
Three beams of spiritual light, radiating the spiritual pressure of the late Foundation Establishment stage, rapidly approached.
The leader was dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe embroidered with star patterns, with a stern face, and held a long spear with cloud patterns.
The two people behind him were also dressed as fellow disciples, and they looked wary.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xu frowned slightly, his divine sense having already detected the figures of the three people, and sighed.
How come there are disciples of the Righteous Path Alliance in the territory of the Cangshan Alliance? This is truly troublesome...
He then spoke in a deep voice, "This place is located in the desolate mountains and wilderness, with no one living within a hundred miles. How can there be any talk of chaos?"
"I am merely meditating here. Fellow Daoists, if you have nothing else to do, please leave quickly to avoid any misunderstandings."
"A ghostly aura, life withered and desolate—and you still say this isn't a scourge?!"
Li Luo's eyes were filled with disgust and disdain: "For ghost cultivators, devouring the essence and blood of living beings is a common practice in cultivation; everyone has the right to kill them!"
"I've caught you red-handed today; how can I allow you to bring disaster upon the people?!"
Before he finished speaking, a fierce glint flashed in Li Luo's eyes, and the cloud-patterned spear in his hand suddenly trembled.
Instantly, the gun shone with golden light, which condensed into a sharp edge and slashed towards the stone cave.
"It's actually the aura of sharp metal..." Chen Xu's heart skipped a beat, sensing a great deal of trouble.
After all, most of those who cultivate this righteous energy are disciples who are the focus of training by various forces in the Righteous Path Alliance.
They are all people with powerful backgrounds; this kid might have some hidden tricks up his sleeve.
But now that this young man has made his move, there's no reason to let them leave alive.
Qingling is currently at a critical stage of her breakthrough and should not be interrupted.
A cold glint flashed in Chen Xu's eyes, and killing intent arose instantly.
However, this clone of his was merely a pay-to-win clone, lacking any combat power, so he had to waste a [disposable training dummy] to fight the enemy.
After changing his clone, Chen Xu flipped his hand, took out a long sword, and rushed out.
At the same time, he equipped himself with the [Ghost Rope's Berserker Blade] and unleashed the "Great River Sword Technique" to slash at the three of them.
The sharpness within it instantly overwhelmed Li Luo's metallic aura.
The golden spear shadows were torn apart as if they were made of paper, and Li Luo's eyes were filled with disbelief and horror.
He only had time to activate a jade pendant at his waist. A thin layer of light shield had just appeared when it was overwhelmed by Chen Xu's overwhelming offensive.
Only two mangled remains of Tianyan Sect disciples, torn beyond recognition by the violent energy, remained on the spot.
But Li Luo's figure mysteriously disappeared.
Just then, the space above where Li Luo disappeared distorted violently.
A phantom figure, imbued with the pressure of a Core Formation cultivator, suddenly appeared...
