Chapter 410: Chapter 410: True. Super Invincible Fireball Technique

The rotating white card had golden effects, yet it made Fang Zhou’s expression as black as the bottom of a pot.

He didn’t expect that his luck wasn’t lacking; rather, it had just run to the wrong place, directly running to the white card side.

Damn, if he had known earlier, he would have drawn the white card first and left the purple ones for later.

However, if Fang Zhou really had the choice to switch, he might still be hesitant. After all, the fully-fledged Other Shore Substitute was too cool and had immense potential.

Even if a golden legend appeared on a purple card, the things drawn might not necessarily be better than the Other Shore.

After the golden effects disappeared, what appeared in Fang Zhou’s hand was a card.

What’s going on, is today a card discount day or something? How come both draws turned out to be cards.

Fang Zhou read the description of the card in his hand and instantly showed a look of conflicted expression.

[Probability Upgrade Card: 50% chance to increase a designated skill by one star, 30% chance to increase it by two stars, 10% chance to increase it by three stars, and 10% chance to decrease the skill’s rank to zero stars.]

The effects of this Probability Upgrade Card were extremely powerful, worthy of being something drawn from a golden legend — if only it weren’t for that last 10% chance of lowering the skill’s level to 0.

Fang Zhou didn’t dare risk using this upgrade card on the Other Shore Substitute. If he was unlucky and its level turned to zero, he’d have nowhere to cry, making it impossible to defeat Ming Aoshuang outside.

Other frequently used skills couldn’t be messed with either, or his fears might just come true.

In the end, Fang Zhou selected two skills with little use: Big Fireball Skill and Invisible Sword Energy.

He hadn’t used the Big Fireball Skill in a long time, and the Great Invisible Sword Qi overlapped in attributes with Fang Zhou’s Sword Control Technique, with minimal effect.

After some consideration, Fang Zhou set his sights on the Big Fireball Skill.

In this world, the majority of female cultivators have a yin and cold attribute, and their spells almost always carry freezing effects. This is more evident in Ming Aoshuang, who has almost turned herself into a moving humanoid ice vault.

If the Big Fireball Skill could be successfully upgraded, it could be used against these ice sculpture women. Even if it failed, he wouldn’t feel heartbroken.

Before using the Probability Upgrade Card, Fang Zhou decided to use Courage to first upgrade the Big Fireball Skill. He still had 26 points of idle Courage.

The higher the skill level, the more Courage is needed for an upgrade. If the Probability Upgrade Card succeeded, it would be akin to using a small amount of Courage to snag a higher star for free.

Upon clicking upgrade, the Courage became 6 points, having spent a full 20 points.

The Big Fireball Skill also got a new name.

[Super Fireball Skill★★: Release a Super Fireball, causing immense explosions and scorching effect. Cooldown time: five hours]

Fang Zhou: (눈_눈)

This skill name is purely for comic relief, isn’t it?

Fang Zhou mocked silently to himself and then used the Probability Upgrade Card on this skill.

The familiar interlude animation played; the upgrade card in hand emitted a dazzling light, then shattered into radiant shards, causing the stars of the Fireball Skill to leap up.

Fang Zhou’s heartbeat accelerated; he looked at the skill panel with both nervousness and anticipation.

[True. Super Invincible Fireball Technique★★★★: Release a Super Invincible Fireball, causing terrifying and immense explosions and radiation damage. Cooldown time: 100 hours. Note: Please stand clear when releasing.]

The Probability Upgrade Card succeeded, upgrading the skill by two stars to four stars, surpassing the Other Shore Substitute by one star.

However, Fang Zhou’s excitement was considerably diluted by this skill name.

No matter what, he wouldn’t call out this name, even if it killed him, although the power was undoubtedly formidable, with the system even advising him to stand clear during usage.

Overall, these two cards brought massive returns, giving Fang Zhou a pleasant surprise and elevating his combat strength to a whole new level.

With a dozen hours remaining, Fang Zhou continued staying in the gourd space to restore depleted Innate True Qi while also training the Other Shore Substitute’s abilities.

Apart from the abilities of the Other Shore, the armor worn by the substitute also possessed formidable defensive capabilities, which was almost unaffected by Fang Zhou’s ripples.

The two longswords on its back shouldn’t be mere decorations, but Fang Zhou hadn’t found a way to use them yet.

As for the True. Super Invincible Fireball Technique, due to its long cooldown time, Fang Zhou did not attempt to use it in the gourd space.

When the time was almost up, Fang Zhou took an elixir and, in an entirely new state, left the gourd space.

Even though his combat strength had increased, Fang Zhou didn’t relax; he maintained his state at its best.

Ming Aoshuang was a formidable woman, well deserving of a hard difficulty task, as she had yet to go all out.

Thus, Fang Zhou had to remain cautious to avoid an unexpected defeat due to carelessness.

Upon leaving the gourd space, Fang Zhou reappeared in Xiao Yin and Ming Aoshuang’s sight; just half an hour had passed.

Ming Aoshuang slightly raised her eyebrows. After only half an hour, Fang Zhou’s state had recovered, starkly different from the previous condition where his True Qi was nearly depleted.

Xiao Yin also noticed this, guessing that Fang Zhou might have privately returned to take some elixir.

She smiled slightly and said, "President Fang is truly punctual. Another moment, and I would’ve assumed you conceded and surrendered."

"Of course, my motto is honesty and trustworthiness."

Fang Zhou also smiled back in reply, but his gaze was tightly fixed on Ming Aoshuang.

Having left for half an hour, Ming Aoshuang maintained this weather-changing state for the whole time, even freezing a large thick ice layer on the ground.

Fang Zhou couldn’t help but click his tongue in disbelief. Just how immense was this woman’s True Qi reserve?

"Stop wasting time, let’s start!"

Ming Aoshuang said impatiently. She no longer wished to stay here wasting time with Fang Zhou, preferring to teach him a lesson quickly and head home.

Without waiting for Fang Zhou’s response, Ming Aoshuang picked up the Qing Shuang Sword and swung it forcefully towards him.

A large amount of falling snowflakes in the air, plus the thick frozen ice layer on the ground, all gathered together with that swing of Ming Aoshuang, instantly forming a blue Mystic Bird entirely made of ice crystals.

The Mystic Bird seemed to come to life, spreading wings over ten meters wide, letting out a sharp cry like a cold wind’s howling.

"Hiss~ She even called out the Ice Crystal Mystic Bird; Fang Yuanhang must’ve really gotten on her nerves."

Onlooking Xiao Yin frowned secretly, knowing that Ming Aoshuang should exercise restraint, but fearing she might accidentally seriously injure President Fang, which would be troublesome.

The sharp cry was still reverberating when the Ice Crystal Mystic Bird, wrapped in snow and storms, swooped straight towards Fang Zhou.

Learning from experience, Fang Zhou didn’t step into Ming Aoshuang’s created low-temperature zone, to avoid unnecessarily depleting True Qi. However, the Mystic Bird’s range clearly exceeded the cold zone.

It directly broke through the low-temperature area, wrapped in frost and snowflakes, coming directly for Fang Zhou.
