Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot Chapter 1144 - 1144 465 Curse Status2

Chapter 1144: Chapter 465: Curse Status_2 Chapter 1144: Chapter 465: Curse Status_2 Among them, [Berserk Enhancent] is a fusion of various passive abilities and doesn’t consu mana; [Blaze] is a fire ability that bursts forth by compressing all awakening energy and also doesn’t consu mana. Only [Fireball] consus mana, but it also uses both mana and awakening energy, and the mana consumption is not much…

That is to say, Wang Tao’s current mana pool of 120,000, only the [Fireball], which doesn’t consu much mana, can deplete it! So much mana serving just the [Fireball], which doesn’t consu much? Wang Tao was sowhat speechless, feeling that it was sowhat a waste.

However, there was no other way; abilities with attributes wouldn’t fuse with the awakening, [Fireball] and [Blaze] couldn’t be fused, only [Berserk Enhancent] and [Mastery Fusion] could. Who made it so that [Mastery Fusion] was the ability that had fused with the new awakening.

“From now on, it’s up to fate whether or not to increase mana, whether it’s raised or not, but awakening energy must be increased!”

Wang Tao mused to himself.

Apart from the fixed increase from fusing crystal cores, increasing mana also depended on opportunity. But awakening energy was different; as long as you have awakening crystal cores or awakening energy pearls, you could always increase it, although the consumption would increase as you progressed. Now, for Wang Tao to increase his awakening energy by 100, he would need to use over thirty awakening crystal cores!

“I wonder if there are awakening crystal cores for sale at the base… I’ll have soone look into it later!”

Wang Tao was originally planning to ask Qu Shilin for help, but rembering that she was in seclusion conducting research, he sent a ssage to Gu Yun instead. As the mayor, he would definitely know more.

Before long, Gu Yun replied.

He told Wang Tao that awakening crystal cores were for sale but were quite expensive, after all, there were gradually so awakeners in the base now, and such crystal cores were much needed by them.

But the ‘expensive’ referred to the high-quality crystal cores, aning the purple ones and above. Blue crystal cores were much cheaper, and white crystal cores even cheaper. After all, only awakeners could use these crystal cores, and awakeners were usually rather affluent. There was no need to save money at the expense of having more impurities in their bodies.

This was clearly good news for Wang Tao, especially as he could synthesize crystal cores; white crystal cores were also useful to him.

Therefore, Wang Tao made a trip to the Awakeners School and had Nie Siyan purchase low-level awakening crystal cores in the na of the Starfire Society. He wasn’t short on money now; he would take as many as they had.

Although there was a blizzard going on, the Awakeners School was a hub of activity.

The buildings were almost full of people; they were all there to enroll in the school. Had it not been freezing outside, there would have been even more people.

Wang Tao hadn’t planned to co, but since he was here, he decided to take a quick look.

With such numbers, he indeed saw so people with hidden attributes.

A sweaty Gu Yun ca down to invite Wang Tao upstairs, looking at him with a bit of resentnt. This was supposed to be the work of the principal, but since Wang Tao was powerful, this tiring task fell to him.

However, when Wang Tao casually wrote down so numbers, telling him that these individuals had potential, Gu Yun’s mood brightened. They just needed to focus on examining these people’s backgrounds. If they had no issues, they were considered as having passed, especially since it was Wang Tao who had personally identified them.

As for the others, sorry, but even if their backgrounds were clean, the school wouldn’t accept them due to insufficient talent. Wang Tao had just saved Gu Yun a lot of ti.

Gu Yun almost wanted to suggest that Wang Tao take charge of the school right then and there, but thinking better of it, he held back. It was tiring, but if it ant cultivating a few awakeners for the base, then it was worth it.

When darkness fell, Wang Tao went back with Ding Yuqin and the others who had co earlier.

“Wang Tao, congratulations!”

“Congratulations on your third awakening!”

Only now did everyone have a chance to congratulate Wang Tao.

They were also looking forward to it, wondering just how strong Wang Tao must be after three awakenings?

Of course, they were also curious about Wang Tao’s new awakening, which wasn’t asked earlier due to the crowd.

Wang Tao briefly demonstrated his powers and when everyone saw that he could control dark energy, causing the entire vehicle to darken as if shrouded, blocking even the lights, they all found it very novel. This sensation was similar to the previous Dark Fog Zombies, but not as uncomfortable as the dark fog from the zombies, just purely obscuring the light.

However, once Wang Tao introduced his curse abilities, everyone felt a chill run down their spine. If three curses appeared on one person at the sa ti, that could be quite unpleasant.

But if they were facing zombies, that would be another story! They’d actually prefer as many curses as possible.

Wang Tao was wondering if his “Heart of Darkness” could fuse with his previous two awakenings. Today, he had limited ti and only tested the curse effects. Whether they could integrate or not had yet to be tested…

After getting ho, Wang Tao began another series of tests.

Fusing “Heart of Darkness” with “ntal Developnt” seed difficult; Wang Tao tried many tis without success, unclear whether it was even possible.

But the fusion of “Heart of Darkness” with “Wildfire Spread” was exceptionally smooth!

When Wang Tao activated “Wildfire Spread” and ignited fiery flas all over his body, his “Fla Shockwave” turned into “Dark Fla Shockwave,” inflicting both fire and dark damage!

Moreover, the area of effect was larger than “Dark Shockwave,” the cooldown shorter! And it also retained the “burning” status from Fla Shockwave and the “curse” status from Dark Shockwave. This “burning” was unrelated to “Curse: Burning.”

That is to say, if he used a dark awakening under “Wildfire Spread,” the enemy would suffer one burning effect and three curses! If he added Little Bing’s power, another freezing status might be applied!

Well, if five negative statuses could appear simultaneously… Wang Tao looked forward to seeing the effects during battle.

After completing the tests, Wang Tao took a shower, went to his room, and with a wave of his hand, summoned a large number of high-quality crystal cores.

Having now awakened three tis and tested the awakening abilities, it was ti for ascension to Level 5.

Wang Tao imdiately began to increase his Special Ability Level, but suddenly, he paused.

“Wait, I only have three abilities now…”

While fusing crystal cores, Wang Tao rembered that others only needed one ability at max level to ascend, but his case was different; he needed all four abilities at max level.

But the issue was, while he had enough crystal cores, his “Heart of Darkness” had rged with one ability, leaving him with three… Could he still ascend? Wang Tao had a bad feeling about this.

After he upgraded all three abilities to max level and after a mont of contemplation with his eyes closed, he sighed in resignation.

Indeed, he couldn’t ascend, he was one ability short…

He had plenty of Level 4 crystal cores with abilities, but he didn’t want to fuse any at random.

After Level 4, crystal cores co with attributes, like “Fireball,” “Blaze,” which only Fire Awakened can use. Such abilities were obviously more powerful than ordinary ones, and Wang Tao wanted to fuse an ability like that, but he didn’t have any suitable cores at hand.

If he randomly fused with an ordinary crystal core, post-ascension it would beco a Level 5 ability, and Wang Tao lacked a Fifth Order Stripping Crystal Core to make any replacents…

Wang Tao was seriously conflicted, whether to ascend to Level 5 now and then search for a Level 5 Attribute Crystal Core or Stripping Crystal Core later, or wait and search for a fitting Level 4 Attribute Crystal Core before ascending…

Ding Yuqin had been by Wang Tao’s side the whole ti, seeing his dilemma, she thought for a mont and suggested,

“Why not wait a bit longer to ascend? Didn’t you tell the Starfire Society to purchase Awakening Crystal Cores? Why not also buy so Attribute Crystal Cores at a high price? With so many people at our base, even if there are no Level 5 crystal cores, there surely must be so Level 4 Attribute Crystal Cores?”

“That does seem like a plan…”
