"Current Entry Usage/Cooldown Duration: 10 minutes/10 minutes"
"Spiritual Beast Introduction: The Dark Attribute Spiritual Beast Night Nightmare Beast evolved from the Shadowflame Cat, containing terrifying dark forces sealed within its pallid skull carapace."
Looking at the lines of text that materialized before him, Qin Chuan couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
After reaching the Hall Rank, each level increased the Race Value by 2500.
After ten levels, a Hall Rank Spiritual Beast with a maxed-out level could reach a Species Value of forty thousand.
The added value of three Hall Rank Lv40 Spiritual Beasts easily broke the one hundred thousand mark of his Extraordinary Value, several times more than before.
And that was just part of the upgrades brought by advancing to the Hall Level.
"Star·Threefold Annihilation: Active Skill, inflicts True Damage equal to 25% of the target’s lost Life Value to a specified target; the third use against the same target inflicts True Damage equal to 90% of the target’s maximum Life Value, with a cooldown of 60 seconds."
True Damage execution!
Silver Horn’s new skill once again displayed the strength of the Hall Rank compared to previous Ranks.
Facing a target with less than 20% Life Value, Silver Horn could achieve an instant kill, and using it three consecutive times on the same target, as long as the opponent’s Life Value was below 90%, it would result in an instant kill!
Although this new skill had a high cooldown and required over two minutes to be effective three times, enough for a weaker party to be instantly killed several times in high-level confrontations, there was no doubt that it could have unexpected effects in certain situations.
After reviewing Silver Horn’s new skills, Qin Chuan opened the pages for Advanced and Evolution.
On the Advanced page, there were six sockets, and this time the number of resources needed for advancement had increased by one.
Seeing the description of these resources, Qin Chuan revealed a look of both surprise and anticipation.
"Dark Night Remnant Light: Epic resource, a key material for the Hall Rank Night Nightmare Beast’s advancement, no known methods of acquisition]"
"Night Shadow Candle Flame: Epic resource, a key material for the Hall Rank Night Nightmare Beast’s advancement, no known methods of acquisition]"
"Hollow Black Feather: Epic resource, is…"
All six resources shared the same description.
This meant that before the update, he was unable to obtain these Epic resources, which were even rarer than Advanced Resources.
Next, Qin Chuan opened the Evolution interface, and once again, his expression turned to surprise.
Compared to the time when breaking through from Growth Rank to Elite Rank, this time the Evolution interface had something additional.
The first Array was the same as before, with nine inlay holes forming a circle and a space in the middle for an Equipment Forging Stone.
However, this time it was not Starshine Equipment that needed to be forged.
It was Moon Halo Equipment.
The second Array was the Evolution Array, which had two inlay holes, one of which had already been filled with Silver Horn’s Starlight Equipment, though it was now in a dimmed state.
The other inlay hole was empty.
Then there was the third Array, which had only one inlay hole, currently holding Silver Horn’s Starlight Equipment.
Clicking the flashing question mark in the top left corner, Qin Chuan quickly understood the method for Hall Rank Evolution.
First, he needed to gather Moon Halo Equipment Materials to forge a piece of Moon Halo Equipment.
Next, it’s necessary to enhance the existing Starshine Equipment to at least Moon Halo level 1.
The third array serves this exact purpose.
Players can use Equipment Enhancement Stones to strengthen their existing equipment, and with each successful enhancement, the equipment level increases by one.
Beyond Starshine level 10, it becomes Moon Halo level 1.
However, according to the introduction, enhancing equipment is far more dangerous than crafting it.
Because Starshine Equipment that has been used for evolution cannot be replaced.
And there’s a failure rate for equipment enhancement.
After a failure, there’s a 67% chance the level remains unchanged, and a 33% chance it will decrease by one level.
Moreover, the failure rate of equipment enhancement doesn’t increase with higher equipment levels, but with the number of Equipment Enhancement Stones used.
For example, if a piece of equipment at Starshine level 9 fails during enhancement and falls back to Starshine level 8, its next enhancement’s success rate will not rise because of the lower level, but will drop further due to the increased number of stones used.
A piece of equipment with an initially low Starshine level might never be able to be enhanced to Moon Halo level 1; it may drop back to its original level or even fall to a lower level due to the increasing failure rate.
This is the complete opposite of the luck value system commonly seen in other game enhancements.
Upon reading this, Qin Chuan couldn’t help but glance at Yue Li, who was beside him looking innocent.
Luckily, he shouldn’t have to face this issue.
Neither Moon Halo Equipment Materials nor Equipment Enhancement Stones are currently available.
Without a doubt, these are items that can only be obtained after the update.
Casually, Qin Chuan opened up his own panel.
After being promoted to Hall Rank, the number of Contract Slots increased from 3 to 4.
At the same time, the number of Active Skills he could carry increased to 4.
This meant that he could now enhance his skills to Resonance 4.
He was looking forward to this.
"Let’s go find the next Hall Crystal," Qin Chuan gently tugged at Yue Li’s hand, "After finding it, you can also be promoted today."
According to their original plan, after obtaining the new Hall Crystal, the two of them would move away from the current area by thirty zones before using it, just as before.
But having been promoted to Hall Rank and having seen a glimpse of the future, he changed his mind.
With so many new things emerging, one could imagine that the scale of this update would be unprecedentedly large, and under such circumstances, wasting another three days was not worthwhile.
Hall Crystals could be obtained in the future by numerous means. He hadn’t even used his Sun Needle’s Third Talent, which refreshed on the first day of the ninth week.
Being promoted to Hall Rank ahead of time, to maximize strength before any potential crisis, was the most important thing.
This was true for both him and Yue Li.
"I’ll follow your lead." After hearing Qin Chuan’s thoughts, Yue Li’s eyes brimmed with laughter. She looked deeply at Qin Chuan and nodded obediently in agreement.
Moments later, the newly rediscovered Hall Crystal was used on Little Purple.
Due to the lack of Experience Gems, Yue Li could only temporarily maximize Little Green’s level, while Little Red and Little Purple remained at Hall Rank Lv30.
But for now, this was already enough.
"Luo, imagine how exciting the Dream World will be at this time tomorrow!"
After viewing the various changes at Hall Level, Yue Li sat on a rock, gazing up at the clear blue sky, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Yeah, I’m really looking forward to it too."
Qin Chuan spoke softly, his gaze falling onto the tender hand within reach.
Gently, he placed his hand over it, and then took hold of it, while Yue Li only symbolically struggled for a moment before letting him hold her hand.
Blush flew across the girl’s cheeks, her lips slightly pursed, yet she did not shy away from the boy’s gaze.
In the slanting sunlight, their two shadows merged into one.
