Chapter 1146 -466: Scorching Eye_2

Wang Tao then opened the second box. There weren’t many Crystal Cores inside, only three, but they immediately caught Wang Tao’s eye.

The first Crystal Core was a [Tier-4 Crystal Core: Psychic Attack Rebound]. Wang Tao also had one, but his was Level 5. This one was Level 4.

Wang Tao certainly couldn’t use it, but it could be useful for his teammates. He could save up two more to give to a teammate later. The side effect was a decrease in defensive power, so it would definitely be better to eliminate that using a Fusion Crystal Core.

The second Crystal Core was a System Crystal Core.

[Tier-4 Crystal Core: Strength Amplification]

[Quality: Excellent (60%)]

[Purity: 35% (Side Effect: HP Limit Reduced by 100,000)]

[Strength Enhancement: Consumes energy, Awakening Energy. During the enhancement period, strength is augmented substantially (only System Awakeners can fuse with it)].

This Crystal Core wasn’t bad at all—simple and brutal, straight-up increasing strength. If Wang Tao had this Ability, he could probably deal a lot more damage. Unfortunately, Wang Tao wasn’t a System Awakener…

“It could be given to Xiang Hongbin, his physical quality is strong, he is a System Awakener, and then there’s the assistance of his mechanical body. If he adds this Ability, his strength could probably increase a lot…”

Wang Tao felt Xiang Hongbin was suited for this Ability. He would ask him later if he was willing to use it; a 60% chance meant there was still a considerable likelihood.

The side effect of reducing 100,000 HP sounded terrifying, but for them, with over 100,000 HP, it was not a problem at all, just killing more zombies would replenish it.

Then Wang Tao looked at the last, the Crystal Core that had really made his eyes light up.

[Tier-4 Crystal Core: Scorching Eye]

[Quality: Excellent (80%)]

[Purity: 35% (Side Effect: HP Limit Reduced by 150,000)]

[Scorching Eye: Consumes energy, Awakening Energy. Emits high-temperature rays from the eyes (only Fire Awakened can fuse with it)].

This was a Fire System Ability, and from its description, this Ability seemed to make one’s “eyes literally light up.”

Wang Tao happened to be a Fire Awakener, and he could fuse with this Crystal Core.

As for the side effect, that was a bit of a headache—reducing the HP limit by a full 150,000!

It was a good thing this Crystal Core had come into Wang Tao’s possession and that no one else had fused with it; otherwise, even if a Fire Awakener came along, if their HP limit was below 150,000, they might very well die upon a successful fusion!

After all, a 150,000 HP limit wasn’t simple. Wang Tao had observed that in the current base, aside from their Starfire Society and other high-end powers, the highest HP was only around 120,000, probably a lucky bump of an extra 20,000 HP. Other third or fourth-order Ability Users had at most 100,000 HP.

With Wang Tao’s own 180,000 HP, there clearly wasn’t an issue, but what worried him was whether he could recover the lost HP by killing zombies.

After all, killing zombies could only restore 100,000 HP; the remaining 80,000 HP increase had been achieved through various means by Wang Tao…

After pondering briefly, Wang Tao shook his head.

“Stop thinking about it. Even if I do end up missing a few tens of thousands of HP in the end, exchanging for a new Fire Ability is still a huge gain!”

Wang Tao quickly made up his mind.

“These three Crystal Cores together cost one million. The price is actually lower than your estimate, but the number is too few; even with a high price, we can’t buy more. We’ve only managed to get these three. Brother Wang, do you see if you can make use of them…”

Nie Siyan spoke up at this time.

She was somewhat apprehensive, not sure if Wang Tao could make use of these three Crystal Cores, especially since she couldn’t tell what they were, including the person who sold them to her. They also didn’t know the effects, only that these were Crystal Cores fusable by Awakeners.

“Alright, you’ve worked hard. These Crystal Cores are very good, and it just so happens I can use them.”

Wang Tao immediately said with a smile.

“Phew—That’s great!”

Hearing that Wang Tao could use them, Nie Siyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was rare for Wang Tao to have her handle a task, and if she messed it up, she would be sorry for the trust Wang Tao had placed in her.

After Nie Siyan left, Wang Tao synthesized the Awakening Crystal Cores.

Looking at the pile of red and orange Level 4 Awakening Crystal Cores, Wang Tao grinned and then began to fuse with them one by one.

Some time later, Wang Tao finally finished fusing with all the Awakening Crystal Cores.

[Awakening Energy: 5000/5000]

The Awakening Energy had just reached five thousand, and Wang Tao, with a touch of OCD, felt quite satisfied.

Then, he took the [Scorching Eyes] Crystal Core and placed it in his mouth.

The Crystal Core vaporized instantly in his oral cavity and quickly flowed towards his limbs; Wang Tao felt his eyes heating up, and after a moment, they returned to normal.

Wang Tao looked at his attributes and, as expected, there was an additional [Level 4: Scorching Eyes].

“Let’s test the effects of the new superpower!”

Wang Tao observed with his spiritual power and noticed that there were no visible changes to his appearance. However, when he prepared to use Scorching Eyes, he saw his eyes emit a red glow; he could feel warmth in his eyes.

Wang Tao went out to the yard and looked at the snowman, which was more than ten meters away, not knowing who had built it.

Two red high-temperature beams shot from Wang Tao’s eyes. Wherever the beams passed, the snow melted into water, evaporated into gas, and disappeared without a trace. The beams continued unabated, striking the door and instantly setting the wooden door ablaze…

“…”

Wang Tao quickly retracted his ability. It was his first time using it, and he hadn’t quite controlled the power.

Hearing the commotion, everyone rushed out. Seeing the burning door, they all gaped in astonishment.

“Wang Tao, what is this…?”

“Cough, I just learned a new ability, and I’m not quite adept yet.”

Wang Tao shrugged a bit awkwardly.

“A new superpower? A Fire System ability? I didn’t hear any noise just now, and the distance is so far, it seems like it even hit the streetlight in front of the neighbor’s house…”

Han Rui said, looking forward, somewhat surprised.

The buildings in this community were very sparsely distributed. Hitting the streetlight in front of the neighbor’s house was at least dozens of meters away.

“The new superpower ‘Scorching Eyes’ can emit high-temperature rays…”

Wang Tao explained briefly and then gave a small demonstration in front of everyone.

Since he still hadn’t mastered the intensity, Wang Tao didn’t aim at the ground but looked up at the sky instead.

szzz—

Two high-temperature beams shot into the sky in an instant, and the snowflakes in their path evaporated.

“Wow!”

Everyone was somewhat astonished.

This ability, if nothing else, at least looks cool and has a long attack range. As for the power, it’s difficult to tell for now; after all, burning a wooden door is not a big deal.

Wang Tao ignored everyone’s amazement and continued to study for a while. After firing many beams of light, he slowly found the feeling.

“So, that’s how it is…”

Scorching Eyes was somewhat similar to Fireball in that it could control the power’s size.

Fireball’s control method was to charge up. The longer the charge, the greater the power, but there was a limit to the charge.

Scorching Eyes had two methods of control; one was to go full power, consuming more Awakening Energy to emit high-temperature rays. Like charging up, it had a limit.

The other was continuous output, which allowed one to keep shooting high-temperature rays at the target. The longer the rays were fired, the higher the damage, theoretically limitless.

However, how long high-temperature rays can be fired is determined by the Awakening Energy… so, in reality, there’s a limit.

As for how strong Scorching Eyes truly were, Wang Tao wasn’t clear yet, but he could feel that the power of this Awakening might be a bit higher than that of Fireball.

Although Scorching Eyes didn’t have the majesty of Fireball, its power was more concentrated. Fireball exploded over a large area, dispersing the force. Scorching Eyes focused the force into two beams the thickness of thumbs. If it targeted the heads of zombies at the same time, Wang Tao felt that Scorching Eyes would likely cause higher damage.

Wang Tao was a bit eager to find a Zombie Lord to test it out on. But there was no rush, as he took out the prepared Omnipotent Crystal Core and upgraded Scorching Eyes to +10. Next up, it was time for Ascension!
