Chapter 107 107 Not Insight, but Sun Needle! (April additional update for 1350 Monthly Tickets)
The new skill, Sky-Rolling Waterfall, is a large-area attack skill.
And it is an extremely powerful one.
At the signal of Qin Chuan, Water Flower tried it once, and instantly the volume of surging backward water reached tens of tons, easily shattering everything within the attack range such as trees and rocks.
And this was clearly not the full extent of Sky-Rolling Waterfall's power.
If the environment was aquatic and the water was limitless, the power of Sky-Rolling Waterfall could be further enhanced.
After all, one of its effects was that its potency increased with the volume of water.
Similar phrases had been added to the enhanced Dark Current Binding, Rapid Stream Break, and Water Dipping after the evolution, indicating the evolved Water Flower's heavy dependency on the volume of water.
The more water there was, the stronger it became.
Normally, a great need for water volume means a great dependence on aquatic environments for battle, and the power fluctuates greatly between environments with and without water, which is a disadvantage.
But this disadvantage was greatly mitigated by the enhancement from Water Master.
The new passive effect of Water Master greatly reduced the energy consumption when generating water from thin air, as if it was tailor-made for Water Flower at this moment.
With this effect, Water Flower could produce a large amount of water out of thin air, satisfying its skills' demand for water volume, and even lowering its environmental dependence than before.
Moreover, the effect of the Starshine Equipment significantly increased attribute control. The concepts Qin Chuan had conceived, such as walking on water flows, enhancing blood control ability, and boosting Dark Current Binding, were all realized through Water Flower's individual verification.
After activating the Starshine Equipment, Water Flower's combat power could surge once again.
Ice cream hugged its knife, almost crying with envy.
Little Green and Little Red weren't much better, the two little fellows glanced at each other, both firmly resolved to break through to Elite Rank as soon as possible.
"The enhancement from reaching Elite Rank is too significant, isn't it?" Yue Li exclaimed in surprise after hearing Qin Chuan's explanation about Water Flower's improvements.
"However, the further enhancements after reaching Elite Rank will be even harder," Qin Chuan said with a smile, "400 Experience Gems to level up, which is an eightfold increase compared to the Growth Rank."
"Shouldn't the daily settlement of the Spiritual Beast List at Elite Rank give a lot?" Yue Li speculated.
"Let's have a look," Qin Chuan said with anticipation as he opened the Elite Rank Spiritual Beast List, and his smile deepened a bit when he saw he was the only one on the list before clicking on the reward introduction.
[Spiritual Beast List (Elite Rank) Daily Settlement Rewards:]
[1st place: Experience Gems +200]
[2nd-10th place: Experience Gems +160]
[11th-100th place: Experience Gems +100]
[101st-1000th place: Experience Gems +40]
[1001st-10000th place: Experience Gems +20]
Hmm?
Qin Chuan couldn't help but furrow his brow.
Compared to the Growth Rank Spiritual Beast List, the Elite Rank Spiritual Beast List's daily settlement rewards were indeed more, but less than he had anticipated.
For the previous Juvenile Stage and Growth Rank, the 1st place reward in the Spiritual Beast List was equivalent to the Experience Gems needed for leveling up, but at Elite Rank, the 1st place daily settlement reward was only enough for half a level up.
This meant that just relying on the daily settlement rewards, levelling Water Flower up to Elite Rank Lv 30 would take a full 20 days.
With a somewhat bad premonition, Qin Chuan clicked on the weekly settlement.
[Spiritual Beast List (Elite Rank) Weekly Settlement Rewards:]
[1st place: Advanced Resource Fragments +10]
[2nd-10th place: Advanced Resource Fragments +8]
[11th-100th place: Advanced Resource Fragments +5]
[101st-1000th place: Advanced Resource Fragments +2]
[1001st-10000th place: Advanced Resource Fragments +1]
[Note: 20 Advanced Resource Fragments can be exchanged for one Advanced Resource of choice, and cannot be exchanged for random Advanced Resources]
Indeed.
The weekly settlement rewards had decreased.
Even the first place could no longer directly obtain their choice of resources, only fragments.
And the original fragments that could be exchanged for a random resource at a rate of ten pieces were now changed to twenty pieces for a chosen resource.
This was bad news for Qin Chuan, who had Yue Li's cooperation.
Facing Yue Li's curious eyes, Qin Chuan could only shake his head helplessly and inform her of the situation.
"It's not bad already," Yue Li chuckled soothingly after hearing about the settlement rewards, "The sheer increase in difficulty from the Growth Rank to the Elite Rank is evident; it becomes tougher to level up later on."
"But as it gets harder, the scope for improvement also grows. That's inevitable."
"You haven't reached Elite Rank Lv30 yet, so you can't see the requirements for breaking through to the Hall Rank. Perhaps after you see the specific requirements, you'll think all this is nothing."
"Speaking of which..." At this point, Yue Li suddenly remembered something, "Is your player level still at the Official Level?"
"Yes," Qin Chuan nodded, "I have already exceeded five thousand in Extraordinary Value and still haven't met the threshold for Elite Level players. If things go as expected, I'd probably need both Contracted Spiritual Beasts to breakthrough before I can be promoted."
Saying this, he let out a heavy sigh, "At this rate, it might be an month or two before I can break through to the Hall Rank."
"You're almost there, you know!"
Yue Li's mouth twitched slightly as her fists clenched tight, fighting an impulse to hit someone, "Complaining about it being slow with a golden Talent, what about other players..."
Before she could finish, she abruptly stopped herself.
It seemed like she had said something she shouldn't have...
But in the next instant, Yue Li steeled her heart, bravely lifting her head to meet Qin Chuan's astonished and surprised gaze.
Indeed, this guy had to be Insight!
The moment she saw that expression, Yue Li was certain in her heart.
In light of this, it was time to lay the cards on the table!
After all, this guy had always known that she was Prayer!
"Do you know?" Qin Chuan was truly surprised.
He could tell that she wasn't tricking him; she genuinely knew.
But how did Yue Li come to know?
The effects and the name of the Sun Needle Talent were virtually unrelated.
The top ten guesses of the Sun Needle effects on the Dream Realm Forum hadn't even come close to touching the actual Talent Effect.
This had made Qin Chuan feel relatively safe until now.
So, he really wanted to know the reason for Yue Li's knowledge.
Could this be the third Talent Effect of Prayer?
"Of course, I know!" Yue Li's voice trembled slightly, clearly showing strong emotional fluctuation yet she was trying her best to appear calm, "Insight. It's just as obvious as my Prayer."
Qin Chuan: "..."
Sure enough, the girl in front of him always managed to hit the mark where he least expected.
And she had even blurted out her own Talent too.
He had hinted to her many times not to tell anyone about the Prayer Talent.
With a sigh in his heart, Qin Chuan raised a hand and gently tapped on Yue Li's smooth forehead, "You've guessed wrong; my Talent really isn't Insight."
"Is that so?" The tremor in Yue Li's voice suddenly disappeared, her tone still light but a flash of disappointment crossed her eyes.
A sense of dejection from not receiving an equal response to her heartfelt offering rose inexplicably within her.
Even after she had said so much, Luo was still not willing to admit it...
"It's the Sun Needle."
Qin Chuan's calm voice echoed in Yue Li's ears for a good while before she lifted her head with some confusion and looked at the smiling youth in front of her.
"Eh?!!"
What do you think?
