Today was clearly another day of peace.
Mo Shuying was still a little too slow, and his back was hit by an impact mixed with flames and other debris. He flew over ten meters, and a searing pain shot through him. He didn't need to look; his back was definitely a bloody mess.
However, Mo Shuying had Madman's Pride. A few seconds later, his HP began to recover rapidly. Once his HP was full, the wounds on his back also started to heal, quickly returning to normal.
"Holy cow!"
Mo Shuying reached up and patted his ears. The loud bang just now had left his ears ringing. He turned his head to look at the explosion area, and the scene was quite gruesome.
"It's not dead. What a tough life!"
Mo Shuying got up and casually tore off his sportswear, which had been shredded into rags, revealing his already muscular physique underneath.
Mo Shuying wasn't talking about himself when he said "tough life," but about the Rock-Armored Turtle. He hadn't received a System notification about gaining experience, which meant the Rock-Armored Turtle hadn't died.
So, Mo Shuying summoned Madman's Pride, and with his entire body glowing golden-green, he walked towards the explosion zone.
"Gurgle..."
The Rock-Armored Turtle was barely clinging to life. Half of its body had been blown apart, and the hard shell on its back, which it prided itself on, had a large hole, revealing charred, bloody flesh inside.
Its massive head lay slumped on the ground, unable to lift itself.
"Tap~"
A faint footstep sounded, and Mo Shuying's figure slowly appeared before the Rock-Armored Turtle. The Rock-Armored Turtle looked at the human enveloped in green light, and resentment flickered in its eyes.
But then.
"Bang!"
Mo Shuying slammed a fist into the Rock-Armored Turtle's head, muttering as he did so.
"What are you looking at?!"
"..."
The poor Rock-Armored Turtle couldn't move and could only endure Mo Shuying's beating.
Mo Shuying didn't immediately kill the Rock-Armored Turtle, because he had found a good way to farm Grasp of the Undying.
While the Rock-Armored Turtle was still alive, Mo Shuying circled it, punching it every four seconds. The damage wasn't much, but the humiliation was extreme. He continued to punch the Rock-Armored Turtle for ten minutes! Finally, the Rock-Armored Turtle's eyes widened in sheer rage! It died.
"Crack~"
After punching through the Rock-Armored Turtle's body, Mo Shuying knew that the Rock-Armored Turtle was dead.
He shook his head and sighed. Ten minutes, and he had only managed 151 punches! Couldn't it have lasted a little longer?! So weak! It only gave him 755 HP!
Oh, and there was experience: 55 points, plus the original 305, leaving him only 40 points away from leveling up again.
With previous experience, Mo Shuying knew that powerful monsters like this would definitely drop something after death. The previous two boss monsters had each dropped a unique skill, so he wondered what this powerful giant turtle might give him.
Soon, the giant turtle's body disappeared, leaving behind a turtle shell shield that was almost as tall as Mo Shuying himself.
Mo Shuying: "..."
A shield? It seemed reasonable for a giant turtle to drop a shield, but he was an Assassin! Who ever heard of an Assassin carrying a shield to assassinate someone?
Though he complained internally, Mo Shuying still picked up the shield, and information automatically appeared.
Mystic Code: Rock Turtle Spiked Shield (D+)
Possesses extremely strong defense. When struck by a melee attack, the stone spikes on the shield automatically counterattack.
A D+ ranked shield was decent, but it paled in comparison to Madman's Pride, an A-rank Noble Phantasm.
What is a Noble Phantasm?
Most Noble Phantasms are actually more powerful Mystic Codes. They possess active or passive abilities and are celebrated alongside Heroic Spirits, wielding immense power. There is no fundamental difference between the two.
And a Noble Phantasm doesn't need high attack power to be highly ranked. Take Madman's Pride, for example; its strength lies in HP enhancement and post-battle recovery. Mo Shuying had sustained significant injuries just now, but he recovered completely in less than a minute. This was percentage-based recovery, and as Mo Shuying's level increased, this effect would become even more terrifying.
Madman's Pride could be considered a top-tier Anti-Unit (Self) Noble Phantasm. While not an absolute invincibility or damage immunity like Avalon, it was still a very good Noble Phantasm. Of course, Avalon is a Boundary Noble Phantasm.
Mo Shuying held the shield and swayed it. It was quite heavy but still manageable. However, he couldn't figure out how to carry such a large shield. Like Mash? Strapped to his back?
The thought of having to carry a turtle shell everywhere made Mo Shuying shiver, his mind strongly rejecting the idea.
"Sigh, if only I had some kind of personal space ability, that would make things so much easier."
One drawback of Mystic Codes is that they cannot be stored away like Noble Phantasms, especially lower-ranked Mystic Codes. They are merely external tools, unlike Noble Phantasms, which are integrated with Heroic Spirits.
As if hearing Mo Shuying's sigh, the System spoke.
Ding~ Detecting strong desire from Host. Special space can be unlocked once Host reaches Level 5. Hope Host becomes stronger soon.
"Oh! The System is so considerate!"
Mo Shuying hadn't expected the System to be so thoughtful. A personal space at Level 5? That wasn't much experience away. If another monster appeared, he could probably level up.
At this moment, Mo Shuying actually somewhat anticipated the appearance of monsters, but unfortunately, no new monsters appeared until the clock struck 12.
"Sign in."
Mo Shuying, who was making Molotov Cocktails, immediately chose to sign in upon hearing the System prompt.
This sign-in was just a regular small sign-in. He wondered what level of item he would get.
"Ding~ Host check-in successful. You have obtained the inherent skill [Siphoning Strike E~EX]."
"What! Nasus's Q?!"
Mo Shuying had thought a regular check-in wouldn't yield anything great, but who knew it would give him such a huge surprise!
He quickly opened his stats panel to check the properties of Siphoning Strike.
Siphoning Strike E~EX
Empowers your next basic attack, increasing physical damage by 30. If Siphoning Strike kills the target, its damage is permanently increased by 5, with no upper limit.
It really was Nasus's Q, though slightly modified. But that didn't matter; it didn't change the fact that this was a super skill.
In the League of Legends game Mo Shuying played before he transmigrated, there were a few heroes who became stronger the longer the game went on, and Nasus was one of them. In the late game, Nasus was practically invincible.
Mo Shuying raised his hand and activated Siphoning Strike. A surge of magic flowed into his fist, enveloped in a purple glow that shimmered alongside a green light, emitting an eerie, captivating color.
He bent down and punched the ground, creating a soccer-ball-sized crater in the concrete. This showed just how strong Mo Shuying's current power was.
However, there was one thing: Mo Shuying couldn't immediately cast Siphoning Strike again after using it. He had to wait about five seconds before he could cast it again.
Mo Shuying didn't have any particular thoughts about this. He knew about cooldowns and found it acceptable. Plus, he felt that the more he used it and the more smoothly and proficiently he used it, the shorter the cooldown would become.
