The Heavenly Jewel Change
Chapter 198: Who is disgusting? (2)

Spatial Shackles were a powerful skill with a high star rank. However, its use is somewhat limited, and it can only be used in very special circumstances.

Therefore, it was not a popular combat skill. If used poorly, it will not have any effect, or it may even have a detrimental effect. For example, using it on Lin TianAo right now would only give him an additional layer of defense.

However, hearing Zhou Weiqing's cry, Yun Li knew that Zhou Weiqing had found an opportunity. As the saying goes, opportunities must be seized instantly or they will be lost forever. Despite his doubts, Yun Li did not hesitate at all. In order not to 'lose' himself for the second time in a day, he attacked with all his might, pitting his life against his full strength.

Yun Li's body leaped high into the air, a loud cry sounded from his lips. A thick silver light covered him, as his four Golden-Green Cat Eye Elemental Gems lit up together. His four Spatial Attribute skills once again focused on the Consolidated Equipment Spike in his hand as he leaped towards Lin TianAo's left foot in this final attack.

After shouting, Zhou Weiqing stopped the swift fire arrow. Focusing all of the Heavenly Energy and channeling it, his two Alexandrite Cat Eye Gems fell into the Overlord Bow socket, but were covered by the left hand holding the bow.

Zhou Weiqing's shout not only warned Yun Li, but also gave Lin TianAo a warning beforehand. Narrow his eyes, he released all the skills in his shield, instantly increasing the defense of not only his body but the shield again.

Even without using his eyes, he could feel the immense power built up behind him, and knew that Yun Li would unleash his final attack. He was also clear that if he could defend against this attack, Yun Li would be useless for the rest of the fight. Under such circumstances, it would be worth it to expend as much energy as necessary.

The arrow was finally released from the Overlord Bow. Just as Zhou Weiqing let go of the rope, the red-robed man by the side suddenly clutched his ears as a huge ring sounded.

In the next instant, he felt a sharp pain in his head, as everything in front of him turned blurry.

Zhou Weiqing would never hope that Tian Er's help for him was not against Lin TianAo, but instead to attract the attention of the judge and this audience of – red-robed men.

This was to make sure he would not know Zhou Weiqing's secret of the Alexandrite Cat's Eye Gem and his many powerful skills.

This time, the arrows shot out were pitch-black. Even stranger still, there were bright, notched blue lines twisting and twisting the black arrow.

Avoiding this is obviously impossible because they are too close to each other. Not talking about dodging, Lin TianAo could not even see the arrow at all.

Another huge explosion rang out, the double blast effect of the archery skill and the Overlord Bow once again attacked the heavy shield, no different from the arrows before.

The explosive power of the arrow was naturally completely blocked by the shield. However, at the next moment, Lin TianAo's expression changed.

At the same time as he released the arrow, Zhou Weiqing's right foot had hit the ground, and his body had also advanced forward. The Tornado Strike had activated, along with a speed boost from his Right Devil Leg, causing it to instantly reach Lin TianAo.

Yun Li, who was behind Lin TianAo, was also given a huge shock, as he suddenly saw Lin TianAo, who was originally covered with a yellow Stone Armor, suddenly glow with a bright blue. An explosion followed immediately after, and the entire Rock Armor completely disappeared.

Not only that, the dark black also stained Lin TianAo's body, and a strange, terrifying-looking black symbol appeared above his head.

Curse – This is a Curse Skill. Yun Li immediately identified the black symbol above Lin TianAo's head.

Yun Li already knew about Zhou Weiqing's Dark Attributes after losing him earlier in the 77 store when Zhou Weiqing had used the – Blood Rite of the Darkness Seal on him. However, he had not expected Zhou Weiqing to also possess one of the more rare Dark Attribute skills, the Curse Skill.

The Curse Skill was actually a type of Skill in the Dark Attribute skill, basically a form of back support, or better known as a debuff skill.

Support skills were used to buff or raise users, or their allies, while Curse skills would weaken their enemies. The type, amount and extent of weakening, duration, all of it would determine how powerful the Cursed Skill was.

With the black symbol on top of Lin TianAo's head that had three clear red lines, it was clear that this particular Curse Skill was weakening the three attributes, and perhaps at least the powerful Nine Ranked Star Darkness Attribute.

As for why the various active defense skills on Lin TianAo had suddenly disappeared, Yun Li did not know why.

However, no matter how it happened, the important thing was that it was definitely beneficial to his own attacks. No matter how strong or formidable Lin TianAo's personal defense was, if he didn't have his skills active and he didn't block Yun Li's powerful attacks, he would definitely be in trouble.

The Curse Skill was naturally some kind of support skill.

Yun Li's assessment was indeed accurate – Skill Attributes Darkness was indeed a Curse Skill, and his name was the Curse of Doom. Its powerful effect is to weaken the opponent's defense, attacking and lastly increasing their pain. This skill was a bit strange, the higher the level, the shorter the duration, but the stronger the effect. At the first level, it lasted 12 seconds, and the three attributes were all weakened by ten percent.

It was rather useless at that level, other than its long duration.

However, each Jewel cultivation level added would increase the curse power by ten percent for all three attributes, but the duration would be shorter by one second.

Thus, with three sets of Gems, Zhou Weiqing's Doom Curse would weaken Lin TianAo's defenses, attack thirty percent, and increase his pain by thirty percent as well, for a total of ten seconds! It's really very strong. In the future, if Zhou Weiqing were to ever become the Twelve Jewel Heavenly Master, this skill might be able to bring his opponent's defense to the negative, even if for just a moment, that would be more than enough for other skills to deal with heavy injuries.

Doom's curse was even rarer than the Skill Zhou Weiqing had saved from the Silver Emperor. He was lucky that he managed to Save these Skills as well, because under ordinary circumstances it was less than a 1 in 10,000 chance that one could manage to Save Skills.

As for the Skill that eliminated the Defense Skill on Lin TianAo, it was a powerful but other niche support skill. This was the Lightning Attribute Skill, Heavenly Lightning Shock.

In the eyes of most people, the Heavenly Lightning Surprise was another special skill that was usually considered useless regardless of its strength. It has no attacking or destructive ability, and only has one – uses to eliminate skills. It only worked on Stored Skills, and was also similar to Absolute Delay that would never 'up level'. That meant it would always last for 3 seconds no matter the level of his cultivation. Of course, at the same time, it was also another Absolute effect, and would definitely eliminate any Skill.

As long as there were Gem Masters who were exposed to the Heavenly Lightning Surprise, any Skills they used, or that were currently affecting them, would soon disappear.

There are two reasons why many Gem Masters consider this skill to be niche and rather useless.

First of all, it was only activated on touching the opponent's body. The second is that although it could interfere with the skill, it would not affect the ones that already left the body. For example, if one were to use a Fireball Skill that was already in the air, and a Heavenly Lightning Surprise was used on it, the Fireball would not disappear. Moreover, there were no other controls provided by the Skill. Since Lightning Attribute Jewel Masters were extremely rare in the first place, and they were mostly known for powerful destructive attacks, many would not choose this niche skill, either, and it's only rated at four stars.

After all, every Jewel Master had a very limited number of Skills, and who would choose Skills that were only useful in rare circumstances? Only someone like Zhou Weiqing, who possessed more than four times the ordinary skills that most Gem Masters possessed, was capable of doing so.

In fact, just like Spatial Shackles, although Heavenly Shock Shock was niche, when used under the right circumstances, it could have an incredible god-like effect.

This was just a perfect example of – after that eliminating all three of Lin TianAo's defensive skills, including Rock Armor, right at the right time. Although Shield was able to weaken half of most support skills, it was unable to weaken these Absolute Skills! With the help of the Socket of the Overlord Bow, Zhou Weiqing was able to utilize it without in close combat.

With these two skills being used together with Lin TianAo, although it was unable to affect his shield, it greatly lowered the personal defense of his body.

Still filling in the air, Zhou Weiqing released another arrow. This time, it was only filled with one skill – Absolute Delay.

Lin TianAo immediately felt the impending doom. Just as he was about to twist his shield, Absolute Delay reached, and he felt his entire body slow down as it came into effect, and the round of the shield slowed to a crawl.

Right at the same time, Yun Li had reached Lin TianAo's back, a glittering surge striking at his feet.

The critical moment finally arrived. If Lin TianAo took this full force punch from Yun Li without defense, it was without question that he would lose the bet. Under such circumstances, he would have to use his last ace in the hole. The shield in his hand shone brightly once again, and a thick layer of light immediately formed a shield on his back.

Another huge explosion sounded as Yun Li's body flew back once more, rebounding along with an ear-piercing hoarse voice. The yellow light that blocked Yun Li's attack was also shattered, and Lin TianAo's leg was clearly injured, with a deep bloodline.

However, no matter what, Lin TianAo had yet to make a move.

Lin TianAo sighed in relief. The last shield of the yellow light was the last ace in the hand, and was the strongest unique power of the five-Spirit Assembly Shield Set. It was called the Illusory Shield, and was basically an illusion of its shield that could appear at the closest position according to his wishes.

The Illusion had a fifth of his true shield defense power, and it could only be used once every time he consolidated the Five Gem Assembly Shield. Furthermore, to use it was a great jetting at his Heavenly Energy, and he only used it at the most difficult moments to save his life. Of course, this time he did it again.
