"The projection mirror is still in your hand, and once I go out, you’ll be able to see your holand," Huang Yi said as he left the Heroes’ Prison and stepped onto the vast Dandelion Plains outside.
Afterward, he took out his projection mirror and shone it on the expansive Dandelion Plains, where countless dandelions floated in the air. Instantly, the image was cast before Slark inside the Heroes’ Prison through the small mirror.
Slark imrsed himself entirely into the projection mirror, the floating dandelions flooding his vision, his gaze grew dull and misty. As he watched the dandelions, it seed as if his eyes pierced through the vast river of history, through the rciless passage of ti, reaching the Ancient Era.
Back then, he was a normal human, an ordinary man laughing and frolicking with his beloved woman among the sea of dandelions. The golden morning sun once bathed their snuggled figures, and perhaps the red sunset had once lit their way ho.
Unfortunately, everything beca imnsely distant following a fall from grace, ultimately turning into a distant mory. He was no longer that human man, but had turned into an ugly monster, forced to leave his holand and hide in the dark, cold depths of the sea, away from anyone’s sight.
Now, he had returned here, but his holand had long since vanished without a trace, the ancient village obliterated by the sands of ti. His beloved woman had also died long ago, her remains nowhere to be found, turning completely to nothingness, like a dream eroded by the passing of ti. Yet, whenever he dread at midnight, he could always rember her figure. In the darkness of his dreams, he chased after her relentlessly, but he could never catch up.
"I rush forward in the darkness but can never catch up to your departing silhouette."
...
Slark was completely lost in his mories, incarcerated for countless years in the Heroes’ Prison, and today he had finally fulfilled his dream to glimpse his holand just once.
Just then, Slark’s projection mirror went pitch black, and Huang Yi re-entered the Heroes’ Prison.
"Did you see your holand? I must say, it is indeed beautiful." After a while, Huang Yi returned to Slark’s cell, holding a dandelion he had dug up from the ground. He then placed the dandelion inside Slark’s cell and said, "This dandelion is from your holand. Plant it here in the cell. Though there is no sunlight here, with your abilities, it shouldn’t be a problem to keep it alive."
"Thank you!" Slark imdiately picked up the dandelion and cradled it carefully in his arms. His embrace was as huge as a mountain, and the tiny dandelion, like a beacon of hope, was planted in his embrace, close to his heart.
"Thank you for helping fulfill my dream. Here is the complete Talent Blood·Shadow Dance, I’ll give it to you!" With that said, another drop of purple blood, even bigger than the last, flew out from his body.
Huang Yi eagerly checked this new batch of Talent Blood.
[Talent Blood·Shadow Dance](B rank, Functional Treasure)
Required Level: 10
Blood containing part of the Shadow Dance ability. Upon absorption, you will gain part of the [Shadow Dance] ability, which increases your movent speed by 25% during non-combat states.
25%, that’s an even higher increase! Huang Yi imdiately absorbed the drop of Talent Blood into his body!
[System Prompt]: Congratulations on absorbing the complete Talent Blood·Shadow Dance and obtaining the Exotic Skill [Shadow Dance]
[Shadow Dance]: Increases absolute movent speed by 10%. Increases movent speed by 50% in non-combat states and recovers 3% of Health Points every second; effects cease when entering combat. Activating this skill grants Invisibility, where attacking or spell casting does not reveal you, lasting 10 seconds. Each use consus 3% of Health Points, with a cooldown of 5 minutes.
Exotic Skill! Huang Yi took a deep breath, the richness of the reward far exceeded his expectations!
Normally, players only possess Racial Skills and Class Skills. However, in The Second World, there is another type of skill, which is the Exotic Skill!
As the na suggests, Exotic Skills are gained through external objects, typically coming from three main sources. The first source is Skill Books, which teach players new skills written within them. The second source is Legendary and above-grade equipnt, with Legendary Equipnt providing one skill and Epic Equipnt two skills. The third source is Talent Blood, and Huang Yi’s Shadow Dance skill was obtained this way.
However, these three sources are not easy to co by, especially Legendary Equipnt. Players like Dao Feng, who were among the top echelon, struggled for two years in The Second World without getting any Legendary Equipnt, which shows the level of difficulty. Though Skill Books and Talent Blood are not as rare as Legendary Equipnt, they are still treasures that are hard to find.
The [Shadow Dance] skill undeniably increased Huang Yi’s strength significantly. Previously, Shadow Dance solely increased his non-combat movent speed, and provided no help in combat. Now, the complete [Shadow Dance] has a huge impact on combat ability. Ordinarily, as a brute warrior-type class, he would never have stealth abilities like an assassin, but now he truly possessed it, and it was even stronger than the stealth of assassin-type classes. Generally, assassins’ stealth abilities are greatly limited; they reveal themselves if they attack, cast a spell, or are attacked. However, Huang Yi’s [Shadow Dance] does not, offering real invisibility!
Additionally, Shadow Dance increased his absolute movent speed by 10%! Absolute movent speed is higher than movent speed and is not affected by external forces, representing a forced increase in speed. If an enemy were to slow down Huang Yi, this absolute movent speed portion would remain unaffected. Moreover, if Huang Yi had a mount, the absolute movent speed would enhance the mount’s speed as well, giving it an additional 10% movent speed, which regular movent speed does not do.
By nature, Huang Yi’s Beast King Race already possessed a Racial Talent [Beast’s Shadow Trace], which increased absolute movent speed by 20%, and with Shadow Dance, that increased to 30%! This level of speed is already quite high among current players!
Lastly, [Shadow Dance] boasts a powerful non-combat state effect, increasing movent speed by 50% and regenerating 3% of Health Points every second, which is greatly helpful for recuperation after combat.
