Chapter 146: Interaction

SS-level talents could be regarded as true geniuses indeed, hence Lilith’s confidence in saying that. Meanwhile, Xiao Lin also replied with confidence. “I’m also a genius! But I doubt you actually know the Holy Light Blessing. Oh, and people usually don’t study matter and law at the same time!”

Lilith cocked an eyebrow and her right hand shook slightly. The scythe suddenly disappeared, and when she turned her wrist again, a stream of light flew out from her wrist bracelet. When it landed in her hand, it turned into a short one-handed hammer.

Lilith raised the hammer high, and the cream-colored head of the hammer exploded into a dazzling milky white halo. The halo landed slowly, bathing Lilith in a noble and holy white light. The light lingered for a long time before gradually dissipating.

[Replication, begin!]

[Replication target: Lilith!]

[Skill scan: complete!]

[Holy Light Blessing: Condenses the power of the Holy Light. User’s body will be bathed in a blessed light and receive a comprehensive healing equivalent to F- rating. Similarly, the next attack will cause a damage equivalent to the F- rating of the Holy Light Spell. The damage to undead creatures is more significant, and the comprehensive evaluation of this skill is F+. The weapon is limited to a hammer.]

It was still an F- level skill. In fact, after he surmised that the virtual character in the simulation battle hall was based on Lilith’s parameters, he had a rough guess that the girl must have mastered a lot of low-level skills, but was blessed by the Holy Light. Nevertheless, it was a little troublesome that the weapon for the Holy Light Blessing was limited to the hammer.

“Let me use the hammer,” Xiao Lin said involuntarily and grabbed the one-handed hammer from Lilith’s hand. Although the once-a-week replication skill seemed a bit wasteful at that point, he did not hesitate when facing a life-or-death situation.

“Holy Light Blessing!”

A white light also engulfed Xiao Lin when he used that skill. It was as if he was soaking in a hot spring. A warm heat emanated from every cell in his body. In particular, there was an itchy feeling in his left arm where the bone knife injured him.

He could feel it!

Xiao Lin was both surprised and delighted. The white halo quickly dissipated and he used the Holy Light Blessing again. The black abscesses around the wound then began to fade slowly, and he did not hesitate to continue using it after it faded again.

Within three minutes of copying, several consecutive uses of the Holy Light Blessing healed the wound almost completely, leaving only some extra-dermal scars that had no effect on his movement.

Xiao Lin returned the hammer to Lilith and felt a little dizzy. It resembled the state of excessive mental energy consumption and he was slightly surprised. “Does this skill consume mental energy?”

“Yes. Otherwise, why would it be a combination of matter and law?” Lilith looked even more surprised than him, but she quickly recovered her calm and had a look of approval in her eyes. “Let’s work together then!”

“This skill is very easy to use. Do we need any prerequisites to learn it?” Although the copying time was over, Xiao Lin still felt uneasy as he could not guarantee that he could remain uninjured again. He could not count on copying the skill every time. During the cooldown period, Lilith would probably kill him for being a hidden danger, even if he did not die from other causes.

“Don’t you already know this skill?”

“Ahem, I’m just asking.”

Lilith appeared suspicious again, but she was not someone who tended to want to get to the bottom of things. There was nothing for her to conceal too, and after thinking for a moment, she replied, “The prerequisites are not that high. Level four Basic Hammer-series Weapon Mastery and level three Basic Meditation. But this skill is actually very low in terms of offensive qualities. It’s not very useful, except for dealing with the undead and demons.”

Xiao Lin thought for a moment. The requirements were not that high, since he had already reached Basic Meditation LV3. However, it would take some time before he could reach LV4 Basic Hammer-series Weapon Mastery. First of all, he had to use a hammer-type weapon, and his expression became slightly odd when he thought of that. He then got up and walked toward the blacksmithing workshop that he discovered earlier.

There were a wide variety of weapons in the workshop. Xiao Lin previously chose bladed weapons because he only mastered Basic Swordsmanship, but the earlier battle gave him some new ideas. In fact, he could choose other weapons to fight there, since the dragon power would allow him to completely crush the skeleton soldiers in terms of combat effectiveness. The weapon used basically had little impact on the outcome of the battle, since Slashing could be executed with all melee-type weapons.

“Don’t you need to choose a weapon?” Xiao Lin glanced at Lilith, who was leaning against the window idly.

Lilith shook her head. “My weapons are all custom-made. Plus, these weapons are in the style of the ancient Thunder Kingdom. They’re ugly, and I don’t like them.”

As expected, girls had a natural persuasion toward aesthetics. Xiao Lin shrugged helplessly and asked suddenly, “Do you know any of these weapons?”

“I saw some in history class.”

Lilith walked over to help take a look, but it was obvious that her history grades were probably only a bare pass. Apart from being able to slightly identify the weapon’s quality, she had absolutely no other information about them.

It turned out that the girl had relatively poor scores in her basic courses. It would seem that her SS-level talent was unlikely similar to Xiao Lin’s Academic Genius skill, since its effect applied to all things, not just combat.

Xiao Lin had that guess in mind when he glanced at the rather irritated Lilith. He changed the topic quickly but carefully and picked a heavy hammer, asking, “What do you think of this one?”

“The Holy Light Blessing is theoretically a skill used by auxiliary staff. I only learned the more offense-based methods when facing the undead. Although the warhammer is able to use the Holy Light Blessing, it leans more toward physical attacks.” Lilith immediately showed a very professional attitude when she returned to the battle.

“I do realize that this warhammer is quite heavy!” Xiao Lin held the heavy hammer in his hand, but there was no lighter one-handed hammer on the weapons rack. Therefore, he could only use that in order to learn the Holy Light Blessing.

After selecting the weapons, the two had a brief exchange. Although they were not very familiar with each other, being trapped in such a creepy place gave them a lot of common topics.

Getting out of there was undoubtedly the main concern for Xiao Lin and Lilith.

What Xiao Lin regretted was that Lilith knew little about The Final Land even though she was a member of Judge Academy. As for the mysterious high priest, Xiao Lin felt that he should not expect much from her, judging from her history class grades.

The key to leaving that place lay with the high priest, but they absolutely shunned any form of cooperation with that old man. As an old man who had lived for hundreds of years and formed a hatred for colonists, his words are wholly unreliable.
