Abyssal Potential Curse!

Compared to Qin Feng's calmness, Gui Ling was even calmer, because her information channels were much more restricted than Qin Feng's, and she couldn't have known about the events in Japan so quickly.

Besides… even if she did know, she wouldn't feel anything.

What did that have to do with her?

She only knew how to eat, grind monsters, and occasionally help her teacher solve small troubles…

She firmly believed that if even her teacher couldn't find a way to resurrect her parents, then no one in this world could!

At this moment, following Qin Feng's instructions, Gui Ling returned to the Evil Spirit Academy.

Qin Feng handed over a pitch-black Abyssal Curse Vase.

"Teacher, is this vase… for me to plant flowers?"

Gui Ling reached out both hands to embrace the vase, a slightly bewildered look on her pretty face beneath her short hair.

Truth be told, this girl was really tiny.

The vase that Qin Feng could hold with one hand required both of hers to embrace.

"If you can't hold it, put it on the ground."

"Reach your hand inside and feel around to see what skill you can get."

Watching her, Qin Feng smiled helplessly and helped her place the vase on the ground in front of her.

However, his words made Gui Ling a bit hesitant.

She bit her lip and looked down at the pitch-black vase: "Teacher, there aren't any snakes in here, right?"

Qin Feng was taken aback by this and shook his head: "No."

"What about spiders?"

"None of those either."

Qin Feng answered, feeling both amused and annoyed.

Did he look like the kind of person who would play pranks?

He shook his head and said: "Don't worry, there's nothing inside. Just treat it like a lottery; you can draw a skill."

"Oh, oh…"

Gui Ling gritted her teeth, squeezed her beautiful eyes shut, looking as if she were risking it all, and finally reached her small hand into the pitch-black vase…

Accompanied by a system notification, Gui Ling was clearly stunned.

Then, with a hint of disbelief: "Ah? Teacher, the system notification says I obtained an Epic-grade skill?!"

"Yes, that's correct."

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and asked with a smile: "What is the skill called?"

"It's called 'Abyssal Potential Curse'…"

"The effect seems very powerful… Uh, wait, something seems a bit off."

Gui Ling opened her skill panel and glanced at the skill attributes, momentarily stunned.

Abyssal Potential Curse?

Qin Feng was also a bit surprised.

He had never even heard of this skill!

"Previously, the Abyssal Nine obtained a total of eight types of Abyssal skills."

"Among them were Slow Curse, Silence Curse, Puppet Curse, Abyss Wither Curse, Voodoo Doll… but I've really never heard of Abyssal Potential Curse?"

Soon! Gui Ling displayed the skill's attribute panel in front of Qin Feng.

—— [ Abyssal Potential Curse (Epic-grade): Abyssal Curse-type skill, no class restrictions. Curses a single target, causing the target to unleash all their potential, gaining a 100% increase in series attributes for 20 seconds, but after 20 seconds, the target's series attributes are reduced by 90% for 300 seconds! Cooldown: 24 hours. ]

[ 'Series attributes' include: base attack, defense, elemental resistance, movement speed, attack speed, and skill casting speed! ] (Curse effect is reduced against Epic BOSS and above!) ——

"This skill… the effect seems pretty good?" Qin Feng glanced at it, feeling a bit surprised.

Attack, defense, movement speed, attack speed, skill casting speed. These attributes are extremely critical during combat.

Even for Qin Feng, if one were to exclude the Invulnerability attribute, when he was hit by this Abyssal Potential Curse, his combat power would suffer a significant decline after 20 seconds!

"Good luck." After reading the skill, Qin Feng smiled.

Gui Ling nodded, then hesitated and asked: "Can this skill be effective against a BOSS?"

"Yes, as long as the BOSS does not exceed Epic-grade, it will be fully effective," Qin Feng said.

The reason Huang Ziqing was able to lead his team to easily crush Platinum-grade Bosses before was because these Abyssal Curse skills are effective against all BOSSes that do not exceed Epic-grade!

Among these… it also includes Epic BOSSes!

You have to realize, even Qin Feng hasn't killed an Epic BOSS yet.

Admittedly, the strength of an Epic BOSS is not just reflected in these conventional attributes, but more so in those difficult-to-handle 'Superior Affix' and Epic-grade mechanics.

However, these Abyssal Curse skills can indeed affect Epic BOSSes… though it's hard to say exactly how much effect they will have.

It's no exaggeration to say that for most Epic BOSSes, even if their panel attributes like 'attack and defense' are reduced by 90%, slaughtering players is still as easy as butchering a chicken.

In any case, when facing an Epic BOSS, one cannot treat it as an ordinary monster with only instincts.

They can deceive, set traps, and perfectly utilize the 'mechanic' abilities granted to them by the God Forsaken Game!

Precisely because of this, every kill of an Epic BOSS comes with a global kill announcement!

Before being dragged to the God Abandoned Continent, they were already top-tier overlords in their respective 'Wild World', just like Osirio. Furthermore, after coming to the God Forsaken Game, they were also granted powerful 'Epic-grade BOSS mechanics'…

"I see… Thank you, Teacher." After understanding, Gui Ling felt a sense of shock in her heart.

A terrifying curse skill capable of weakening a BOSS!

Originally, with her current combat power, she could easily kill a Gold BOSS after figuring it out. After getting familiar with a Platinum-grade Boss, she could slowly maneuver and wear it to death.

But if she faced an Emerald-grade BOSS, she would definitely not be an opponent.

Now! When she possessed this Abyssal Curse skill…

"I can try to conquer the Assassin Bloodline BOSS that Teacher mentioned!" Gui Ling felt a bit excited.

Of course, this 'Abyssal Potential Curse' enhances first and weakens later. In the first 20 seconds of the curse, the target's combat power will surge, but after 20 seconds, they will directly fall into a weakened state, becoming soft and powerless. Using it requires great care.

Even… Gui Ling had an idea: in certain critical moments, could she even curse herself directly to gain a 100% attribute boost?

Although it would only last for 20 seconds, perhaps she could accomplish things she couldn't do before! This double-edged sword type of skill was not so rigid to use.

Precisely because of this, Qin Feng said she had 'good luck'.

At this moment, Qin Feng put away the Abyssal Curse Vase. He wouldn't need this thing for the time being, but he could continue to evolve his own 'Abyss Wither Curse' to see when he could eliminate its negative effects…

When that day came, he could continue pulling things out of the vase. He would eventually obtain this 'Abyssal Potential Curse' sooner or later!

After finishing their business, the two parted ways quickly.

Gui Ling didn't waste any words. After bidding farewell to Qin Feng, she entered Stealth state and walked towards the teleportation array, intending to continue going out to grind monsters.

Her Stealth Level had now reached Level 6!

At the current stage, it was almost impossible for anyone to see through her stealth.

Of course, that did not include Qin Feng!

Qin Feng watched her petite figure enter a semi-transparent Stealth state and walk into the teleportation array, disappearing… He smiled slightly.

Not long ago, his anti-stealth level was only Level 5. But now, his anti-stealth level had skyrocketed several times over!

This was because… of that Legendary Assassin skill book he had synthesized yesterday!
