Shattering Shadow Kill! A higher grade than the Old One?

After reaching level 50, the leveling speed noticeably slowed down compared to before.

Even Qin Feng, with the experience points he accumulated from grinding these past few days, only had enough to reach level 52. Thankfully, it was just enough for Qin Feng to learn the skill book dropped by the level 68 World Spine.

Qin Feng's operation was very simple.

First, he put on the 'simple amulet' to allow him to learn skill books 8 levels higher than his current level, then used 'Easy to Use' to lower the skill book's usage level requirement by 8 levels.

This way, Qin Feng could learn skills that originally required level 68!

Then he took off the 'simple amulet'.

Logically, after the simple amulet was taken off, the skill Qin Feng learned should turn gray and become unusable…

But because Qin Feng had the World Spine's blessing from Blue Star's Third World Spine – Divine Weapon!

This could raise the level cap of his learned skills by 10 levels.

In other words, as long as the skill was learned, it could be used and effective even if it was 10 levels higher than him, perfectly replacing the effect of the 'simple amulet'.

"So, let's see what kind of Primal-level skill book these Immortal-grade skill books can synthesize."

Qin Feng looked at the seven Assassin skill books in the Greedy Space.

These seven skill books were all Immortal-grade. Five of them could be used to synthesize an initial Old Days Grade skill book.

The other two, after being learned and evolved, could be fed to the Soul Devourer to increase attributes.

"Five into one, synthesize!"

When Qin Feng gave the command to synthesize those five skill books…

An initial Old Days Grade skill book appeared in Qin Feng's Greedy Space!

—

[Shattering Void Shadow Kill (Old Days Grade): Assassin skill. Can traverse space to any location within 3000 meters and create 4 Shadow Clones that can be freely controlled. Cooldown 60 seconds (0.31 seconds). Requires Level 68!]

[Shadow Clones exist for a maximum of 12 seconds (269 seconds), and there can be a maximum of 4 Shadow Clones created by this skill.]

(Additional Note 1: You can consume Evolution Points to increase this skill's accumulation years (10,000 Evolution Points increases by 1 year of accumulation).)

(Additional Note 2: You can consume 100 million Evolution Points at once to evolve this skill to a higher grade.)

The appearance of this skill greatly interested Qin Feng!

First, the effect of this skill was space traversal… this was a very, very rare space-attribute skill!

Second, after traversing space, this skill could create four freely controllable Shadow Clones. Adding Qin Feng's 'Killing Shadow', that would be a total of nine Shadow Clones!

The most crucial part was 'free control'.

Previously, the Shadow Clones from Killing Shadow could only synchronize with Qin Feng's own skill releases. Although they could be controlled to move, they were ultimately not free enough.

Now, the Shadow Clones created by Shattering Void Shadow Kill could truly be controlled by Qin Feng and move as he wished…

As for the extremely high mental attribute required for multi-line operation, Qin Feng was naturally qualified. Not to mention controlling four simultaneously, he could easily control ten Shadow Clones at once!

"If I had this skill before, I could have taken down the Fourth World Spine by myself, no one else would have been needed!"

Finally, and what Qin Feng was most concerned about…

"Can I consume 100 million Evolution Points at once to evolve this skill to a higher grade?"

"Above Old Days Grade… Primal-level?"

Qin Feng was quite excited.

Leaving aside whether above Old Days Grade was Primal-level, this kind of prompt was indeed the first time he had encountered it.

"I've evolved many skills to Old Days Grade before, but I've never seen this prompt."

"Could it be… this prompt only appears on initial Old Days Grade skills?"

Additionally, if converted according to the consumed Evolution Points and accumulation years, would an Old Days Grade skill with ten thousand years of accumulation automatically advance to the next grade?

Qin Feng directly sent a private message to Frost Elf Ling Che on him!

The result was Ling Che's negative answer.

Old Days skills are Old Days skills. No matter how long they accumulate, they remain Old Days Grade and will not advance.

This confirmed Qin Feng's suspicion…

This was a unique effect of his 'Infinite Evolution' talent.

It could evolve initial Old Days Grade skills to a higher grade!

"Interesting."

"I originally thought that Old Days Grade skills were the end of evolution, with subsequent changes only being quantitative, not qualitative…"

"Turns out, there's still more."

"It's just that the demand for 100 million Evolution Points is too outrageous, isn't it?"

Based on Qin Feng's current speed of earning Evolution Points, it would take more than half a year to accumulate 100 million Evolution Points.

Moreover, Qin Feng couldn't possibly not use any Evolution Points during this period and save them all…

"After the Yōlán Civilization Sublimation and reaching the Order Land, I hope to earn Evolution Points faster."

Qin Feng thought to himself.

Immediately after, he looked at the two remaining Immortal-grade Assassin skill books. Both of these skill books were active skills.

One was a passive reconnaissance skill that increased anti-stealth levels, and actively activating it further increased anti-stealth levels. Even after evolution, its effect was still to increase anti-stealth levels… Qin Feng had Original Shadow Perception, so he truly didn't need it. He just learned it and threw it to the Soul Devourer.

The other was an active skill. After Qin Feng evolved it from Immortal-grade to Old Days Grade, it could provide Qin Feng with 666 layers of damage reduction shields.

To be fair, 666 layers of damage reduction shields were indeed a lot, but Qin Feng genuinely didn't need them at the moment.

Against low-level opponents, the 'high-level bullying' Order on Qin Feng's weapon was completely sufficient!

And if facing high-level opponents, if they had counterattack abilities, these 666 layers of damage reduction shields simply couldn't block them…

When facing some BOSS-level demonic creatures, sometimes a single high attack from a demonic creature could break through hundreds of layers of damage reduction shields.

This was also an effect brought by the BOSS template!

Thus, both of these skills were fed to the Spirit Devourer Bloodline by Qin Feng.

Useless effects were better converted into more practical combat attributes.

Immediately after, Qin Feng looked at the pile of equipment in the Greedy Space.

"Bai Ya, what do you say, if I synthesize an Old Days Grade weapon, should I replace you?"

Qin Feng couldn't help but tease the White Sprout Blade in his hand.

Bai Ya: "You scoundrel, your hands are on your body. If you want to replace me, I can't do anything about it…"

Qin Feng was immediately speechless: "How old are you, old hag, still saying 'me' and pretending to be young?"

Bai Ya: "Ying ying ying…"

Qin Feng directly punched the blade: "Shut up."

…

There were exactly ten pieces of Immortal-grade Assassin equipment dropped this time.

Enough to synthesize Old Days Grade equipment twice!

"Last time I synthesized Old Days Grade equipment, I got the beyond the void boots, which caused my Agility attribute to skyrocket."

"I hope I can get good stuff this time too."

Qin Feng directly used the Eye of Greed's synthesis function, consuming the 10 Immortal-grade Assassin equipment in his bag, a double synthesis!

Two initial Old Days Grade equipment pieces appeared in the Greedy Space…
