Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Chapter 582: Chapter 582: If there’s no precedent, then let’s create one.

Every free attribute point Yang Yu acquired was extremely precious.

Since dealing damage to others required investing countless free attribute points, he might as well not invest any at all. It would be a waste to do so, and it would be better to just increase his Blood Volume and Speed, becoming an excellent Shield for the team.

As for the problem of weak Attacks, Skills could compensate for that.

As the proverb goes, a pure-defense Turtle isn’t scary; what’s frightening is a pure-defense Turtle with skills that can cripple your legs.

When slaughtering an Iron Turtle, if it spits out a venom that randomly selects a lucky spectator, causing them to be poisoned with toxins that can’t be Dispelled, sitting and waiting for a violent death—that would be disgusting.

The Attack Skills Yang Yu chose were all unrelated to his Strength and Intelligence.

“Shadow Deception,” “Double-sided Slash,” “Shield Counter,” and the “Fury Blood” he was learning now were all the same.

As long as he could learn “Fury Blood,” when Yang Yu’s life dropped to a certain level, he would be able to inflict continuous True Damage on the enemy, creating an unexpectedly small burst of energy.

This would allow Yang Yu to truly fight, whether facing an Iron Turtle that stood and took hits or high-level powerhouses.

Yang Yu had learned the blood-consuming “Double-sided Slash” just to lay the groundwork for this Skill.

Yang Yu estimated that once he reached the full Level of Eighty, his maximum Blood Volume should exceed ten thousand, and half of ten thousand was five thousand. Five percent of five thousand was over two hundred and fifty True Damage.

Finally, Yang Yu wouldn’t have to watch tiny red damage numbers jumping before his eyes anymore, but rather white damage numbers exceeding two hundred.

As for “Red Blood Path,” it was a Control Skill that allowed for a charge, much like the skills of Heroes in many MOBA games.

The specific introduction stated that it used red Magic Power to build a wall in front, charging forward over a distance, repelling enemies on the exterior of the path, dragging along enemies in the middle, and causing dizziness when stopped. The duration of the dizziness would be extended if they crashed into a solid obstacle. The dizziness effect varied from person to person.

Judging from the introduction of the Skill, it seemed quite versatile, potentially giving the illusion of many Skills stitched together, but overall it appeared simple and crude.

Skills that showcased technical flair could certainly catch the eye, but the pursuit of a one-life clearance called for straightforward and solid Skills.

While browsing through the All Things Library’s Skill books, Yang Yu discovered that he could access more information about Skills through the System panel.

In the original records of the Library, “Red Blood Path” merely stated that the user would charge in a straight line, forcefully scattering the enemy’s formation with no detailed effects on a specific part.

As for “Fury Blood,” it wouldn’t be possible to list the conditions required to activate the Skill or how much damage it could do. The books only noted that the user’s offensive would become more intense after using “Fury Blood.”

Thanks to seeing the detailed settings of each Skill, Yang Yu didn’t miss these two good Skills.

As long as he could learn these two Skills, Yang Yu’s lack of output and control would be temporarily alleviated.

He still needed to learn more cost-effective Skills and save some Skill Points for targeted learning, ensuring a real chance at clearing the game.

However, after really learning these two Skills, Yang Yu felt that he was no longer playing a Defensive Battle but more like a Fierce Warrior piling up Blood Volume.

The current problem was not knowing how many Skill Points were needed to learn these two Skills.

Before this, whether he would be allowed to learn these two Skills by the Blood Lion Clan was a matter of concern.

Yang Yu had already thought it through; if Wan Huawen refused to teach him, he would just quietly capture a young lion who knew these skills, pressuring and tempting him to teach these Skills.

Yang Yu didn’t believe he couldn’t handle the old ones; surely he could bully the young lions.

Hearing the two Skills Yang Yu mentioned, Wan Huawen frowned as expected.

“What’s wrong, can’t you teach them?” Yang Yu asked. “If not, then forget it. I’ll come back later to see if there are any Skills suitable for me to learn.”

“No, it’s not that. How should I put it…

‘Red Blood Path’ was originally not a secret. But with the ongoing war between Wansheng Country and Luo Ze Empire at a stalemate, we’ve opened it up to many people.

After all, this Skill can scatter the enemy’s formation, making it quite practical in war.

Regrettably, few from other races have learned it beside the Blood Lion Clan. As for ‘Fury Blood,’ that Skill…”

Wan Huawen looked towards Lotcar,

“It’s more like a Skill flowing deep in the racial memory, like the Dragon Breath of a giant dragon or the ‘Silver Light Claw Strike’ used by the Silver Teeth Clan.

I think, aside from the Blood Lion Clan, there probably isn’t anyone who could learn this Skill.

To activate that Skill, one must rely on a special intuition, a feeling that ‘at this moment, I should be able to use this Skill, I can use this Skill.’

And this intuition can be comprehended but not conveyed.”

Now, there was a problem. It looked like “Fury Blood” was a Skill exclusive to another race.

Such exclusive Skills were often unobtainable in many games.

Just then, a sudden inspiration struck Yang Yu’s mind.

Since people outside the Blood Lion Clan couldn’t learn it, then why not become a member of the Blood Lion Clan?

“Lord of the family, I want to ask if your clan has something like Racial Essence.”

Yang Yu remembered that when he accepted the Racial Essence from Lotcar, the selection screen had popped up the option to Transform into a Werewolf.

If he could become a Werewolf, learning a Skill passed down through the bloodline of Lotcar shouldn’t be too much to ask, right?

Humans couldn’t learn the Skills of the Plant Clan either, but Yang Yu still managed to learn them with the help of the Plant Clan’s Racial Essence.

It was a bold assumption that by obtaining the Racial Essence of the Blood Lion, he would have the ability to learn the powerful “Fury Blood.”

If it didn’t work out… well, he had to take the Racial Essence anyway, so taking that of the Blood Lion wouldn’t be bad either.

Wan Huawen sensed Yang Yu’s thoughts, crossed his arms,

“Do you want to possess the abilities of the Blood Lion Clan through the Racial Essence and thereby learn that Skill? Quite a good idea.

I can tell you clearly that our clan does have Racial Essence.

Every few years, we gather outstanding family members to extract Racial Essence and give it to the younger generation of the family to enhance their potential.

However, we have never had a precedent of sharing our Racial Essence with other races.”

“Precedents are created by people. Can’t we establish one if none exist? Are you worried that by creating this precedent, others will flock to try and obtain the Racial Essence of the Blood Lion?”

“Not just me, other members of the Blood Lion should think the same.”
