Drawing Cards With My Lifespan: Starting By Gamifying Reality - Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Seventeen Skills!

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Although the cultivation EXP converted from the Transcendent professions had been used up by the sword saint profession, he had also drawn 232 skills other than the 24 Transcendent professions, as well as 900 skill EXP books and 944 cultivation EXP books.

Su Mo immediately took up the priest profession, and the skill he awakened was the super endurance that he already had.

Then, he added points to the priest profession. With his previous experience of doing so, he threw in 500 cultivation EXP books in one go.

As expected, the next second, a golden light flashed, and the priest profession had been successfully upgraded to level 2.

Countless cultivation insights related to the priest profession instantly appeared in his mind and his body was further strengthened.

At the same time, he also awakened a new skill: the light of life.

This was the skill that Wu Linfeng had used to treat Wang Linglan back then.

Now, the priest profession had reached level 2, and he was left with 444 cultivation EXP books.

Such an auspicious number.

Su Mo added all of these EXP books to the sword saint profession. He watched as the EXP bar moved forward a little, reaching half.

“5000 EXP books are probably required to upgrade to level 3. Only 500 books were required to max out level 1. Compared to the progress of level 2, the amount of EXP required to upgrade from level 1 to level 2 was simply insignificant. When the main profession breaks through to a higher level, the secondary profession should also have to follow to be able to play the corresponding role. Otherwise, if a level 1 Transcendent were to heal a level 3 Transcendent’s injuries, no injuries might be healed even if the level 1 healer uses up all his strength.”

Su Mo collected his thoughts and looked at the skills he had drawn.

Other than the sword energy slash, super endurance, and light of life that he had just awakened, he had drawn 232 skills this time.

Compared to the few skills that he had burned previously, this number was simply terrifying to the point that it made one’s scalp go numb.

Moreover, he had also drawn most of the skills that had been burnt. For example, the storm sword, instant slash, blood coagulation sword, and so on were all back on him now.

He felt like what he had burnt just now was probably nothing.

Other than that, thanks to the general conversion that removed the restriction on skills, he could use the many skills from other professions that he had drawn without taking up the respective professions.

Without a doubt, this was a shocking cheat given to him by the interface.

Once others’ impression of him was set that he was a sword saint, just with the skills of other professions he could use, he would be able to make the opponents suffer a huge loss.

However, not all skills needed to be mastered.

Those that had similar effects and side effects, were not powerful enough, or did not have strong enough characteristics were better off being converted into skill EXP and strengthening his main battle skills, rather than learning them.

Quality over quantity. One sword could break all techniques. This was the logic behind it.

Su Mo started to look at the skill descriptions and seriously considered all of them.

In the end, after an hour-long screening, the candidates were selected.

He only kept ten skills.

They were the previously burned sword energy shield, storm sword, finger sword, instant sword, and poison immunity, as well as the new water flow spell, metal body technique, soul-freezing spell, purification spear, and tremor punch.

Another skill that had been burned was the blood coagulation sword. However, considering the fact that using the blood coagulation sword would consume his blood energy, he decisively chose to give up on it.

After all, he had burned the blood-coagulation sword previously. Although the damage he managed to deal with the skill was strong, the aftereffects continued until now.

He was still weak after losing so much blood energy.

As for the five new skills, each of them had its unique points.

The water flow spell could turn one’s body into a stream of water, allowing one to pass through extremely narrow places or merge into rivers to hide one’s tracks. Although it was not a combat-type skill, it was extremely functional. If it wasn’t for the fact that this skill had a short time limit and couldn’t allow him to avoid damage, Su Mo would call it the most powerful skill.

The metal body technique was a comprehensive skill that could make one’s body as hard and tough as metal. Not only could it be used for defense but also for close combat. Su Mo instantly thought of a certain “battle scene”, and he could not help but inwardly sigh, “It’s a pity that the duration is too short and is thus not worthy of me. If its duration was increased by 60 times, then it would’ve been fine.”

Then, he moved on to the next skill, the soul-freezing technique. Su Mo had seen Captain Zhang use this skill before. Without a doubt, this was a skill of the warlock profession and a very powerful skill. Think about it, to suddenly freeze the opponent in a critical battle, even if it was only for a second, would be enough to do many things.

The purification spear was a skill that Su Mo had seen before. It was cast by Xue Qiaoqiao to purify negative states such as curses. He had yet to encounter any evil Transcendents who could cast curses, but if he did and was cursed by the other party, he wouldn’t be helpless with this skill. After all, he would only need to stab himself with the spear. If one spear didn’t work, he would use a few more.

The last skill was the tremor punch. This was a close combat skill. One could release a shock force through one’s fist when it hit. Not only could it disturb the opponent’s movement, but also injure the opponent’s internal organs. It was like beating cattle across the mountain. Therefore, although the skill might not come in handy in the future because of his sword saint profession, he still kept it.

These ten skills were the most valuable skills that he had drawn this time. As for the rest, they were just firewood.

Su Mo did not hesitate and immediately added points to the skills.

The first was his main combat skill, sword energy slash, which had already reached level 2.

The sword condensation technique had 30% progress at level 1, so Su Mo gave it seven skill-converted skill EXP books, and it rose to level 2.

Next were the sword energy shield, storm sword, finger sword, instant sword, and tremor punch. He converted ten skills for each of them, and all of them reached level 2.

There were 170 skills left. Su Mo gritted his teeth and gave sword energy slash 100 skills, raising it from level 2 to level 3. This was also his first skill to reach level 3.

The remaining 70 were obviously not quite enough, so he took out 300 skill EXP books from the 900 he had drawn and raised finger sword to LV3.

With this, he had both close-combat and ranged skills.

As for the remaining 600 EXP books, Su Mo decided to give them to the support skills.

He chose light of life, purification spear, poison immunity, water flow technique, soul-freezing technique, and super endurance, and raised all of them to level 2.

The remaining 10 skill EXP books were all thrown into the wise heart skill.

At this point, he had used up all the rewards he had drawn this time.

Su Mo closed his eyes and comprehended the insights for half an hour before completely digesting the EXP he had gained from upgrading his skills.

He opened his eyes and looked at the refreshed panel.

[Profession]: Sword saint level 2 (50%), priest level 2

[Skills]: Sword energy slash level 3, finger sword level 3, sword condensation technique level 2, sword energy shield level 2, storm sword level 2, instant sword level 2, tremor punch level 2, light of life level 2, purification spear level 2, poison immunity level 2, water flow technique level 2, soul-freezing technique level 2, super endurance level 2, eye of truth level 1 (20%), wise heart level 1 (20%), dark vision level 1, metal body technique level 1

Compared to when he was forced to burn his skills, his stats window was now much more luxurious.

Su Mo thought to himself. Forget a few more level 3 fox demons, even if there were dozens of them, with these 17 skills as a base, he would be able to kill them all.

Of course, if the sword saint profession was upgraded to level 3, there would be no need for him to burn the skills He could just beat up those of the same level.

However, Su Mo knew that even if he only had half of the way left to go from level 2 to level 3, it would still take a lot of time.

After all, it was not every day that he could encounter such a big event as the arrival of a demon emperor.

If it were not for this incident, he would probably still be an ordinary level 1 Transcendent, let alone advancing to level 3.

Now, he should slowly train himself. He could use the time to adapt to his level 2 strength and various skills.

Su Mo thought like a salted fish.

He did not expect to be involved in the following magnificent events.
