Chapter 297: Chapter 181 Skill Combination Usage

Having taken Lin Sisi back home, Zhang Xiaoman was eager to verify the idea in his mind, and hurriedly drove back to his own bedroom.

Upon opening the door and entering the kitchen, he intended to find a dinner knife to use for his experiment.

He remembered that there was a dinner knife included in the set of kitchenware he had bought, although he had never used it himself.

"Woof! Woof! Woof woof!"

("Boss! Boss! Hug me!")

Jin Bao the dog, seeing his owner return, quickly ran over from his doghouse to perform his daily welcoming ritual.

Left with no choice, Zhang Xiaoman had to lift the rascal and give him a good spin to calm him down; otherwise, this dog would be jumping around.

"Alright, alright, back to your doghouse for now. Once I’ve finished testing the skill, we’ll discuss signing a contract," he said.

Jin Bao the dog tilted his head; although he didn’t quite understand the latter part of his owner’s words, he did understand the first part and immediately scampered back to his doghouse.

Next, Zhang Xiaoman began his skill testing plan.

First, he activated the Flying Sky State skill and controlled the dinner knife to circle around himself. Looking at the silver dinner knife, which hovered next to him like a tiny Flying Sword, Zhang Xiaoman felt a secret thrill. He had never imagined that his dream of "Sword Control" would be realized in such a fashion.

"Although this skill can levitate a weapon, its speed is too slow and it cannot stray too far from me—about twenty centimeters at most. It’s almost impossible to use it to kill enemies unless I combine it with other skills..." he mused.

As he spoke, an ability he had just mastered surfaced in his mind. It was a Magic Technique developed by Lin Sisi and later perfected by himself—Dark Energy Shock.

Dark Energy Shock was a highly difficult skill to use; its shock was generated from converting Dark Energy Particles into Active Dark Energy Particles, which were then stimulated through a specific Magic Technique to affect real space.

When using the skill, the effects differed depending on the consumed Dark Energy, the exerted power, and various other factors.

To use it accurately, one needed to have good control over the range of effect and utilize the corresponding Dark Energy Sequence. Even the exertion of power had to be well managed.

Of course, based on Zhang Xiaoman’s recent tests, the influence of power was the least significant among the impacting attributes; it was mainly about consumption and range of effect.

The larger the consumption, the higher the intensity; conversely, the larger the range, the lower the intensity.

Now, what he was thinking was to use the effects of the Dark Energy Shock to apply a concentrated Shocking Power at the tail end of the flying knife, thus propelling it forward.

However, controlling this process was difficult, and even for a genius like him with MAX affinity for Dark Energy, using it successfully would not be an easy feat.

As expected, Zhang Xiaoman’s first attempt ended in clear failure. With a flick of his finger, the Dark Energy Technique activated and the hovering dinner knife spun twice in the air before falling to the ground.

Moreover, because he hadn’t controlled the power and range properly, the entire house began to tremble slightly, disturbing his mother who was watching TV in her room.

"Is it an earthquake?"

His mother ran out of her bedroom and instinctively picked up cat Xiao Hua, who was sprawled asleep on the couch. Then she called for Zhang Xiaoman and Jin Bao the dog to run outside with her.

"Move it, move it, it might be an earthquake, let’s hurry downstairs!"

Zhang Xiaoman, helpless, had no choice but to explain to her what had happened just now. After hearing the explanation, she finally felt somewhat relieved.

"Zhang Xiaoman, are you trying to tear down the house before you give up? If people didn’t know better, they’d think you were part of a demolition team. No, no, from now on, you are not allowed to experiment with skills at home, it’s too dangerous. Take your experiments to Rebirth Island!"

Zhang Xiaoman was kicked out, and with no other option, since he didn’t really want to demolish his house, he could only rub the stones and head back to Rebirth Island.

Looking at the pitch-dark scene before him, Zhang Xiaoman could only shake his head in resignation. He suddenly realized that he should have installed lighting equipment in the relics above the Inheritance Land as well.

After several more attempts, each time stopping only when his Dark Energy ran out, Zhang Xiaoman could now only rely on the Teleportation effect of the Starry Stone to replenish his energy. Because of the upper limit, the rest of his time was spent just waiting.

"Swoosh!"

Under the effect of the Dark Energy Shock, the dinner knife shot out like an arrow, flying into a pile of ruins and giving Zhang Xiaoman a bit of trouble to find.

"Hehe, after so many tries, I’ve finally succeeded again. It wasn’t easy."

Having said that, he walked over to the ruins to search the ground. But because it was so dark around, he simply couldn’t find the dinner knife he had just shot out.

"Forget it, if I can’t find it, I’ll try something else. I’ll try with my Mountain and River Sword."

Zhang Xiaoman said this and then turned his gaze to the Sword Box lying aside.

He strode over, slung the huge Sword Box on his back, and then as he activated the Flying Sky State, all nine Mountain and River Swords simultaneously flew out from the box, hovering behind him.

With a thought, Zhang Xiaoman arranged the swords into a formation behind him, all with their tips pointing upwards, fanning out in an arc.

"Wow, how cool! This look, I might actually become a Sword Immortal..."

No sooner had he spoken than one of the swords behind him moved.

The sword slowly pivoted, pointing its tip forward horizontally, and then, under his Dark Energy Shock control, it spun and flew out.

"Tsk, tsk, this control technique is a bit difficult to master."

He sighed to himself and then in one breath, he launched all of the swords, succeeding only once.

Zhang Xiaoman’s energy was completely used up, and then he sat on a large stone to continue analyzing the skill.

The ability of Dark Energy Shock was actually very strong and versatile, but the constraints were that it was too difficult to control, and to create a significant impact required a high energy consumption.

He could actually directly use the effect of the Shocking Power to cause damage to targets, but while it works against structures, it was somewhat ineffective against monsters.

After all, Alien Species also possess a Dark Energy Field of their own, and although not every Alien Species uses it, as Extraordinary Species, their Dark Energy Fields automatically defend against such homogenous attacks, significantly reducing the effectiveness of his skills.

This is also why he must use intermediary materials to launch attacks.

Moreover, one of the main points is, if he attacks through the air directly, firstly, if the distance is too far, the damage will decrease, and secondly, without a fulcrum, he could only exert the basic power of the skill, unable to add a "power" bonus to it.
