MTL - Spellcasting is a Permanent Addition and My Skills Are All Forbidden Spells

Chapter 117 Temple Portal! Improve the direction! (2 in 1)

Hearing the loud noise, Lu Cheng's eyes suddenly froze.

 Now that the silver-level BOSS has been eliminated by him, there should be no more dangers in this underwater palace.

 Otherwise, the quest to explore the underwater palace won’t just be Silver level.

However, out of caution, he moved quickly and summoned the frost armor and energy barrier.

 As for the magic protection, it has never been turned off.

With three layers of shields on his body, Lu Cheng raised his eyes and looked at it.

 Amidst the continuous loud noises, the mist covering the two floors of the hall was slowly dissipating.

 After the mist cleared, the full view of the main hall was finally revealed.

Looking at it now, the main hall is square. Previously, two-thirds of it was covered by mist, which made it appear long and narrow.

On the right side of the main hall, there is a magical light shining.

Lu Cheng looked up and saw azure crystal stones arranged neatly on the right wall of the hall, guarding a bronze gate.

 …

 【One-way portal】

 【Durability value: 15 million/15 million】

  【The portal in the Tsunami Temple has a space node recorded. Due to the exhaustion of the space system energy contained in it, it no longer has the transmission function. 】

 …

 Seeing the properties of this bronze door, Lu Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyes.

 This is a portal!

He is no stranger to portals. After getting the blueprints, he can also build them in the city.

 In the previous life, transportation between cities was mainly carried out through portals.

It’s just that this bronze door is a little special right now.

Not only does it record only one spatial node, but it is also a one-way trip.

 In other words, this portal has only one destination, and it can only be entered but not exited.

“Where does this portal... lead to?”

 Looking at the portal, Lu Cheng's mind was spinning.

The Underwater Palace is the temple of the Tsunami God, and this portal was probably built by the Tsunami God.

Of course, luck cannot be ruled out.

As for the situation other than these two gods, the possibility is too low and can be ignored.

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

 After the disaster of faith was suppressed, humans have explored many temples and discovered the existence of portals in many temples.

 The portals in the temple often lead to other temples of the same god!

  In other words...the portal in front of him is most likely connected to other temples of the God of Tsunami or the God of Luck.

 But if it leads to other temples, why is this portal one-way, and why is only one space node recorded?

Could it be said that this **** only has two temples in total?

This is obviously unreasonable. Temples are channels to strengthen faith. The more the better for gods.

Even the weak God of Mercy has more than a dozen temples built.

From this point of view, it is possible that this portal is not connected to the temple, but to other areas.

Shaking his head slightly, Lu Cheng was no longer confused.

 He currently has insufficient information, so whatever he thinks is just a guess.

 Now, this bronze door has exhausted its energy and cannot transmit.

However, although the energy is exhausted, the recorded space nodes are still there. If the energy can be replenished, the transmission function will be reactivated.

 At that time, the spatial nodes recorded in it will appear, and the truth will naturally be revealed!

With this in mind, Lu Cheng started to think about it.

 Activating the portal requires space energy. There are generally two ways.

 One is that he has mastered the energy of the space system and uses his own mana to charge the portal.

 The second step is to find crystals that contain space system energy and use the crystals to provide energy.

In addition, there are other ways to burn energy supply arrays, but they are more complicated and not as convenient as these two methods.

 “Space system energy…”

Lu Cheng thought for a while.

 This is not difficult for him.

 Spars containing space system energy, even if they were not found in the Demon Exile, there would definitely be in the abyss, and he would be able to find them sooner or later.

Wait until charging is complete, activate the portal, and you will see the space node!

 Furthermore, this portal is a one-way trip, so even if it is activated, it does not pose a threat.

Lu Cheng nodded slightly and listed obtaining space system energy as one of his future goals.

 Then, he turned his eyes and looked at the azure crystal stones on the wall.

These azure crystals are exactly black crystals!

 …

【Xuan Crystal: A first-class material, often found near deep water environments. It is used to construct buildings and can increase water attribute damage resistance. 】

 …

Looking at the neatly arranged mysterious crystals, Lu Cheng smiled.

 This is an unexpected gain!

 While he was sweeping away these two monster forces, he was still thinking about whether he could harvest the mysterious crystal.

 As a result, there were no monsters in the force, but in this underwater palace!

With this in mind, Lu Cheng quickly moved to collect the mysterious crystal.

  【Ding, you get 1 unit of Xuan Crystal. 】

  【Ding, you get 1 unit of Xuan Crystal. 】

 …

System prompts sounded one after another, and in a short while, he collected more than 200 units of mysterious crystals.

"good."

 Lu Cheng stopped moving, feeling satisfied.

Exploring the underwater palace this time has been quite rewarding!

 Now, the only special resources for city preparation tasks are rock iron sand and spiritual wood core.

Furthermore, he also has a lot of extra special materials, which are strategic resources and will be indispensable for the future development of the city.

 Lu Cheng glanced at the wall.

At this time, most of the mysterious crystals on the wall were left, and only a small part was collected by him.

 But now, he can no longer pretend.

At the moment, he still has hundreds of units of flame heart stones in his storage space, plus more than 200 mysterious crystals, which is full to the brim.

“Come next time and collect these mysterious crystals.”

 Lu Cheng thought to himself, leaving an anchor point.

　　【Ding, the anchor point is set successfully. You can teleport here at any time. Each teleportation consumes 300 mana. 】

 Listening to the system prompts, Lu Cheng felt satisfied.

 With the anchor point, he can return to the underwater palace at any time.

 It’s just…

 Looking across the wall on the left, Lu Cheng was a little confused.

At the moment, most of the mist in the hall has dissipated, but there is still a layer of mist on the left wall, making it difficult to see clearly.

Could it be that there are any clues hidden on the wall on the left?

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng flipped his hand, holding the Breathing Staff in his hand, and activated the shock wave.

 The next moment, a shadowless and invisible shock wave formed instantly and bombarded out.

 “Bang!”

 The shock wave swept across, instantly blowing away the mist, and the left wall was revealed.

However, the wall on the left is very ordinary and there is nothing special about it.

 The strange thing is that as the shock wave dissipated, the mist condensed again and enveloped the wall.

Lu Cheng stepped forward and checked again, but still found nothing unusual.

 Other than being shrouded in mist, the wall on the left is no different from the surrounding walls.

 This made him slightly confused.

The BOSS in the underwater palace has been killed by him. The only parts that still have doubts are the bronze portal and the statue of luck in his hand.

 But now, the bronze door cannot be activated for the time being, and the statue of the **** has not been completely repaired, so it is not yet possible to find out.

After thinking for a while, Lu Cheng shook his head slightly.

 Both of these require time and cannot be judged at the moment.

However, he wants to collect the remaining mysterious crystals and will definitely visit the underwater palace again in the future. The situation will naturally become clear by then.     If the mist has not dissipated after the statue of the God of Luck has been restored, it has something to do with the portal.

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng no longer cared and took out the skill extraction card.

 Next, it’s time to open this skill blind box!

 “Lucky Omen…Start!”

Hold the skill extraction card, Lu Cheng thought silently in his mind.

  【Ding, the lucky sign has turned on, and your luck has begun to fluctuate. 】

 【Current cycle time: 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds...】

Following the system prompts, a ghost clock appeared, hanging in the upper left corner of his field of vision, ticking and fluctuating.

 Lu Cheng stared at the time, and when it reached 15 seconds, he pinched the card in his hand.

"use!"

 Suddenly, the light in his hand flourished, and the skill extraction card bloomed with brilliance, reflecting a silver light in the hall.

 In this silver light, the system prompts sounded.

　　【Ding, you used the silver-level skill extraction card, and the skill extraction was successful! 】

 【Extraction completed, construct the skill inheritance stone...】

The silver light converged back, gathered into a ball, and gradually condensed into a solid body.

 Looking at this ball of silver light, Lu Cheng couldn't help but look forward to it.

Skill extraction cards are very similar to treasure chests. If you are lucky enough, you can also draw gold-level skills from silver-level skill extraction cards.

 And once this skill inheritance stone comes out, it is basically 80 or 90% stable!

  Also a carrier of skills, inheritance stones are higher-end than skill books and scrolls, and are very likely to contain gold-level skills!

 Sure enough, the next moment, the system prompt sounded again.

　　【Ding, the construction is completed! You have obtained a gold-level skill inheritance stone! 】

 “It is finished.”

 Listening to the system prompts, Lu Cheng felt happy.

 Hunted for 15 seconds to use the full amount of luck, and sure enough, I got a gold-level skill!

Moreover, according to the situation of full luck, this gold-level skill is most likely also a spell system, and he can use it directly!

 I don’t know, what type of skills will it be?

Just as he was thinking about it, the silver light gradually dissipated in front of his eyes, and the properties of the skill inheritance stone were revealed.

 …

  【Skill Scroll: Flash】

 【After use, master the gold level skill: Blink, which requires level 25 or above, intelligence above 150, spirit above 80, and consumes 2 skill points. 】

  【Flash: Consumes mana to teleport to a designated location within ten meters. The cooling time is 4 seconds and consumes 500 mana points. If used continuously within 16 seconds, the mana consumption will stack up to a maximum of 2000 points. Proficiency: 0/300. 】

  【As the skill level increases, the teleportation distance can be increased. 】

 …

 “Flash?”

 Seeing the attributes clearly, Lu Cheng couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

The skills attached to this inheritance stone are actually teleportation skills!

This skill is burned into the Ten Thousand Magic Spire in the Bear Country. The number of people who have learned it ranks first among all spell skills. It is a must-learn for all mages.

 For mages, teleportation skills are too important and can save lives.

 In his previous life, his development was not smooth in the early stages of Cataclysm, and he only learned his first teleportation skill after three rounds.

　　Unexpectedly, now, it is actually opened in the skill extraction card!

With the inheritance stone in hand, Lu Cheng couldn't help but be in a good mood.

 Although now, his combat power can crush the surrounding monsters.

 But after the second turn, he will begin to explore the demon exile land and even the abyss, and cross-level battles will be the norm.

Under this premise, the more life-saving means, the better.

"use."

 Lu Cheng crushed the skill inheritance stone.

 Suddenly, a ball of golden light surged up and submerged into his body.

  【Ding, you used the skill inheritance stone and mastered the gold level skill: Flicker! 】

 Listening to the system prompts, Lu Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

 With this skill, his defense is more secure.

 Although the teleportation distance is only ten meters at the moment, it is enough to avoid most damage!

 Furthermore, as the skill is upgraded, the teleportation distance can also be increased.

 “Flash.”

 Lu Cheng thought silently in his heart.

 When you get a new skill, you naturally want to try it out.

"brush…"

As his mind turned, the brilliance of mana surged rapidly. Almost instantly, his figure disappeared on the spot and appeared five meters away.

This flicker is indeed a gold-level skill. It does not require chanting at all. As long as he silently chants it in his heart, he can cast it instantly.

As for the change of perspective after teleportation, it was a little uncomfortable at first, but after a few blinks, he quickly got used to it.

"good!"

 After testing it several times, Lu Cheng was very satisfied.

 Then, we started thinking about the direction of development.

 His current combat power is not a big problem against monsters within the second rank.

 Even if the BOSS is powerful, you can still use the Energy Embrace amplification skill to kill him instantly.

 Unless you have a way to avoid his attack, it doesn't pose much of a threat to him.

However, it is not enough to explore the gods and even the secrets behind the disaster.

He can't compete with those high-level monsters yet.

“Now, what needs to be improved most is the skill range…”

 Lu Cheng's mind was spinning.

Now, with flicker and spell protection, his defense is temporarily protected.

 As for the output end, there is endless absorption, so there is no pressure.

 As long as there are enough passive layers, the damage can grow infinitely.

  Just adding some damage methods to special life forms such as ghosts and energy types is enough.

However, the shortcoming lies in the killing distance!

 Now, even with the blessing of the Breathing Staff, his killing range is only more than 70 meters.

　Including the range of the fireball explosion, it can reach more than one hundred meters.

However, to fight against those monsters of three or four turns, this killing distance is far from enough!

With the memories in his mind, Lu Cheng kept thinking.

 Level 10, 30, 60, and 100 correspond to job transfers. After job transfers, a professional's combat power will increase dramatically.

 The same is true for the monsters that come!

 Each time a job change node is passed, the monster's combat power will also be greatly increased.

 Moreover, this improvement is quite comprehensive!

Those Level 3 and Level 4 monsters are often tens to hundreds of meters long, with a killing range of more than a kilometer.

With his current method, to fight against this kind of monster, he has to bear the monster's damage and rush within a hundred meters to cause damage. The fighting method is more like a melee combat system.

 This is not his problem.

 In the past life, when the magic profession reached the third or fourth level, it naturally had super long-range killing methods, which were not inferior to those of high-level monsters.

 The problem is, his current level is just about to reach the second level.

 There is still a long way to go before I can learn those super long-range skills.

 In this case, other means are needed to supplement.

Making up for the shortcoming of upper range can greatly improve his combat power.

“It seems that the secret realm to compete for the hub stone must be opened as soon as possible...”

 Lu Cheng's mind was spinning.

  When the resource area reaches level 1, a hub stone will be produced, and he also knows this information.

In the previous life, monster forces were fighting for this hub stone. After humans passed the early stage and calmed down, they gradually began to join in the fight.

But now, if he wants to increase the killing distance, this hub stone will be very useful to him!

With this in mind, Lu Cheng opened the panel.

 Dealing with the thorn giant force will just speed up the process!

 “Teleport!”

Lu Cheng thought silently in his mind and selected an anchor point in the settlement.

 The next moment, the light flashed and his figure disappeared from the spot.
