Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

Chapter 386 Experience


Lilu's Fairy Tale World.

At this moment, Lilu's fairy tale world has more fairy tale elements than before, including a grove composed of Thousand Fruit Trees.

Kane and his companions are in a barren area of the fairy tale world, where there's nothing but soil on the ground, without any other constructions.

All the buildings and animals have been moved aside, leaving only the most primitive geological structure. The area is not too big or too small; it's just right for training and experimenting with skills.

"Let me try first." Longbei stepped forward after speaking; he couldn't wait to test his new skills.

He first transformed his arms to their maximum size. With the infusion of Magic Power, his arms expanded rapidly like inflated balloons.

They stopped at about twice the size of his original arms.

He decided to test the incremental enhancement with the smallest multiplication factor first.

Longbei clenched his fist and struck the soil on the ground with great force, leaving a fist-shaped mark as the soil scattered.

Longbei withdrew his fist, squeezed his palm, and felt it for a moment before saying: "The strength hasn't doubled, it's about 30~40% stronger than before."

After speaking, Longbei once again spent Magic Power, his fists expanded further, repeating the earlier action, and struck the ground again. This time the strength was almost doubled compared to usual.

Each time it expanded by a factor, the strength increased as well.

At four times, the enhancement was twice the usual strength; at five times, the strength increased by more than three times.

Finally, Longbei added equipment to enhance the power of his hands, concluding that the enhanced strength was only the most intrinsic physical strength, and it doesn't stack with or affect the equipment.

However, Longbei's own strength is already very strong. Achieving a maximum enhancement of more than three times made him extremely powerful, directly compensating for any shortcomings in attacking power.

Not to mention this was just an experiment in normal form; Longbei usually fights in giant form.

"Let's test whether you get an enhancement by using Origin Skills along with the effect of this skill."

After hearing Kane's words, Longbei nodded, as he intended to do so. He then directly used his Origin Skills; his skin turned gray-white like stone and his figure expanded into a small giant over five meters tall.

After transforming into a small giant, Longbei stretched out his arm again, having gained some experience from the previous use.

Actually, there's no need to enhance the entire arm, just enhancing the fist is enough to gain power.

So this time Longbei directly enhanced his fist.

This time he didn't start from twofold and work upwards; he directly spent Magic Power to enhance his fist to fivefold. The already huge fist became somewhat excessively large.

The size of just one fist nearly matched Longbei's own body size.

After all, the body structure of dwarves is somewhat different from humans, with relatively thick limbs.

He raised his fist, which was as large as his body, and smashed it towards the ground. Seeing this, Kane and the others watching nearby immediately took a few steps back.

As they retreated, Kane quickly moved forward and constructed a transparent Steel Wall.

Just as Longbei's fist landed on the ground, the ground's tremor was clearly felt, and nearby animals were startled, standing alertly in Kane's direction.

Along with this was a cloud of soil and dust. Fortunately, Kane foresaw this and created a transparent Steel Wall, causing the flying sand and dust to hit the wall and fall to the ground.

"How is it, Longbei?" Kane shouted to the introspective Longbei.

Upon hearing Kane's call, Longbei turned his head, thought for a moment, and explained: "Not bad, the enhancement is of the power after I grow larger using Origin Skills, not the normal power."

Upon hearing Longbei's words, Kane nodded; this was much better.

Kane had been worried after seeing that the equipment didn't affect the skill multiplier.

When Longbei transforms into a small giant, his power itself gets boosted.

If the multiplier's base value becomes the power after becoming a giant, it would be much better; otherwise, the skill's effect wouldn't be as strong as Kane imagined.

Subsequently, Longbei enhanced both of his arms, the enhanced arms resembling gorilla arms, and his arms and fists together were significantly larger than his entire body.

He used both hands to gather the soil scattered around back together and filled in the pit, patting it down.

Seeing Longbei's actions, Lilu nodded satisfactorily.

Then came Meizike's skill usage.

Thinking for a moment, Kane said to Meizike: "Use Touch of Evil on me and let me experience the specific effects of each negative effect."

After hearing Kane's words, Meizike nodded, then under Kreya's and others' watchful eyes, extended a palm and placed it on Kane's shoulder.

As Magic Power flowed, an obvious greenish-black hue appeared on Meizike's hand and swiftly infiltrated Kane's body.

"Easily Injured" Meizike said, referring to the negative effect he used this time.

The feeling of being easily injured wasn't very obvious. After experiencing it for a while, Kane deduced this conclusion.

Logically, the weakening of the constitution should be quite noticeable, but it wasn't. It seemed the debuff effect of Easily Injured carried a certain degree of concealment.

After all, Kane's perception is now considered the strongest in the team, always having Divine Martial Gaze equipped in his Skill Grid.

His feeling for the Easily Injured debuff is so subtle that others can hardly feel the debuff being applied to themselves.

Thinking for a moment, under everyone's gaze, Kane raised his arm, conjuring a small knife in his hand and lightly slicing his own skin.

A thin white line appeared on the skin, but it did not break the skin to cause injury.

He exerted force again, and a tiny wound appeared on his arm.

Blood flowed from the wound; logically, such a small wound should hardly bleed, and such force shouldn't harm Kane's arm, so this must be the effect of Easily Injured.

A strand of red particles surged from Meizike into Kane's wound; such a small wound should heal instantly, but it was apparent that the healing effect was slowed.

Kane's own healing ability should recover such a wound in a very short time, but it was not visible.

The debuff from Easily Injured was more noticeable than Kane had thought.

Ultimately, Kane concluded: "The Easily Injured effect is very subtle, significantly weakening Defense Power, reducing Constitution, causing healing difficulty, and making the same wounds more severe under the debuff."

After speaking, Kane nodded to Meizike, indicating for him to apply the next debuff.

Spending Magic Power again, a dark green hue reappeared in Meizike's hand, poured into Kane's body.

"Weakness." This was the debuff used this time.

This experience was very apparent, more straightforward than Easily Injured, with an instant sense of weakness felt.

No need to experiment; Kane could feel where he was weakened.

Clenching his fist forcefully, he could clearly feel that his strength was weakened to some extent.

Of course, such a weakening of strength was not very powerful, approximately 10-20%, likely due to Kane's equipment having some debuff resistance effects.

If such a debuff effect were on Longbei, it might be less; on Kreya's Anti-Demon Armor, it would hardly affect at all.

The reduction in strength wasn't the focus; it was the hindrance to actions and response dullness.

This effect was felt as if Kane was covered in a thick layer of Iron Armor, with every action feeling slightly heavier.

Every punch, step, and even blink felt more laborious than before, with each layer of skin tightly adhered like a layer of iron.

As for the ability to think, it was likewise weakened, though Kane didn't feel this very noticeably, possibly because his Skill Grid was currently equipped with Smart Learning.

The effect of Weakness seemed less strong than Easily Injured, yet still served as an effective control skill.

"Let's see the last one."

Hearing Kane's words, Meizike once again placed his hand on Kane's shoulder, with dark green energy surging into Kane's body again.

"Blindness." Meizike announced his last debuff effect.

This debuff was even more dramatic than Weakness, with Kane immediately feeling a blackout, his entire vision becoming extremely blurry.

Clearly, there was ample light in the Fairy Tale World, yet the vision remained dark and unclear, to the point that even Kreya beside him wasn't very clear, with the effect being extremely pronounced.

Furthermore, Kane could very distinctly feel a great limitation on his perception.

"Hit me," Kane told Kreya beside him.

Without hesitation, Kreya swung her fist over.

The punch didn't land on Kane as he dodged it, but the dodge was exaggerated, and had it been a bit faster, with Kreya using her full strength, Kane wouldn't have been able to avoid it, which was impossible before.

The reaction had slowed, and the decreased effect was very noticeable.

"The effect of Blindness is very intense, seemingly the most impactful of the three debuffs on creatures, followed by Easily Injured." After experiencing all the effects, Kane told Meizike.

After hearing Kane's user experience, Meizike nodded. Now at least having a simple understanding of his own skills, he would also use them on himself for personal experience.

"By the way, let's see if the Hand of Magic can be used to cast this skill."

Although the descriptions say that all skills that could be used with hand-based skills can function, it's better to be cautious.

The blue Magic Palm again touched Kane, and with the skill's use, the entire blue palm turned dark green, with energy surging into Kane's body.

Feeling his body weakened, Kane nodded.

"It works, it can be used."

With this, the experiment on their new skills is roughly completed for the two of them.

Longbei and Meizike each walked to one side to start proficiently using on their own.

Especially Longbei, who directly summoned the little shadow for one-on-one training with him.

The frequent tremors caused the surrounding small animals to run away.
