Capítulo 756: Chapter 378: Level 3 – [Heavy Tide] – Part-Ti Path_2
The usage limit has increased by two tis directly!
At the sa ti, the charging ti has been greatly shortened, from the original 6 hours per recharge to now “4 hours”.
Less than a day is needed to fully recharge.
This makes the consumable Battle Skill [Gravity Etching], originally a small trump card, almost a regular tactic in Xia Nan’s combat.
A full five consecutive releases of this skill; if any enemy can withstand five “Master” level [Gravity Etching] without corresponding resistance to Force Field Damage, it only highlights the disparity in strength between Xia Nan and the opponent.
If he were to face Mo’en after crystallization with a bit more strategic planning, he might not even need to activate the second phase of [Embers Resonance].
Relying solely on the enhanced physical attributes and the two additional uses of [Gravity Etching] could decisively defeat him.
Moreover, Xia Nan’s profession [Fallen Blade Hunter] has progressed from Level 2 to Level 3, exactly as he anticipated, reaching a critical junction in his career path and acquiring a new powerful Battle Skill perfectly tailored to the profession itself:
——[Heavy Tide]!
Despite Battle Skills lacking physical form and thus not supported on the attribute panel, Xia Nan still referenced the information in his mind regarding this skill, habitually crafting a model for it:
…
[Heavy Tide]
Type: Battle Skill (Active)
Introduction: Harness gravity, causing your next strike to carry a “heavy” force, inflicting considerable damage and interrupting the enemy;
Specific Effects:
1. Your next close combat attack damage increases by 25%—100% (depending on the strength of gravity applied);
2. During release, the gravity you impose will naturally interrupt the enemy’s current action (such as lightweight spellcasting or pre-attack movents);
3. Upon hitting, there is a chance to induce the “Imbalance” status on the enemy (agility check).
…
Firstly, it’s crucial to highlight.
[Heavy Tide] has no usage restrictions!
Unlike [Gravity Etching], which is a consumable Battle Skill used selectively based on battlefield conditions and enemy status.
[Heavy Tide] is like [Vortex Slash] and [Teeth Hunting], a Battle Skill that can be regularly used in combat.
Although it lacks the unique stance of the latter two, nor can it serve as the core of a combat style,
its inherent universal effect of using gravity to enhance attack damage signifies its seamless integration into every combat scenario.
Whether it’s a punch, kick, sword slash, or shield strike—as long as it’s close combat, Xia Nan’s every attack can carry [Heavy Tide].
In such a situation, combining him with other Battle Skills becos an effortless, natural occurrence.
Even more terrifying is Xia Nan’s sudden realization that the Battle Skills he’s mastering now seem… combinable.
During the [Embers Resonance] state, using [Gravity Control] to reduce body gravity for increased speed in [Teeth Hunting] execution and utilizing the ensuing bodily inertia to swing the longsword, unleashing a [Vortex Slash] empowered by [Heavy Tide] and [Gravity Etching].
Just one sword strike could integrate a total of six Battle Skills.
Achieving an instantaneous, exaggerated burst.
At this mont, Xia Nan seed to gain a few more vague insights into the profession of [Fallen Blade Hunter] itself.
“Tranversing, maneuvering, bursting… no wonder those elents were highlighted back then.”
“So this is what it really is.”
Distinct from other professions’ attack damage increase Battle Skills, [Heavy Tide] allows for flexible adjustnt of increased damage intensity based on the strength of gravity imposed.
Additionally, it boasts two extra special effects characteristic of the profession:
Interrupting enemy actions and the “Imbalance” check post-attack hit.
These are quite straightforward.
However, how they specifically perform in combat requires Xia Nan’s future validation through actual battles.
Honestly, he’s begun to anticipate the exquisite experience of having [Heavy Tide]-enhanced punch land on a goblin.
The tough, tense battle is finally over, and the improvent in professional level, enhancent of physical attributes, and acquisition of new Battle Skills fill him with an indescribable sense of fulfillnt and reward.
Originally feeling sowhat suppressed since arriving in Sheep Horn Town, his mood now lightens a little.
With a firm wrist, he gently raises the longsword, his steely visage reflecting off the smooth, clear blade surface, Xia Nan summons up his complete attribute panel that he hasn’t seen in a while:
…

…
Over a year has passed since crossing over to this world.
Looking at the attribute panel in front of him now filled with countless characters, he couldn’t help but recall how it was empty when he first arrived in this world.
Xia Nan felt a strong sense of achievent welling up from within his heart.
On the panel, every attribute point, every specialty, every battle skill, every piece of equipnt; he could clearly recount its origins and reminisce about those mories.
Feeling emotional, and with a sense of enjoynt and satisfaction after browsing slightly, Xia Nan was about to dismiss the attribute panel and deal with the battlefield.
His actions paused instinctively.
In the void before him, those semi-transparent characters that flashed after his level up had not stopped until now.
He saw strings of characters endlessly flowing past.
“What does it an, not over yet?”
Xia Nan wondered but remained calm, standing in place waiting.
About another half minute later, the character flow gradually stabilized, transforming into text he could understand:
“Ding!”
“Detected fulfillnt of conditions: 1. [Professional Level] lv3; 2. [Professional Level Cap] lv5;”
“Automatically searching for part-ti paths…”
“Search completed!”
