Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

Chapter 957 - 829: Universal Energy

The colorful smooth triangular skill stone completely dissipates within Kane’s body.

Kane has completely mastered the new skill.

If he could still see the attributes of his skill bar, it would look something like this.

[Name: Universal Energy]

[Color: Tricolor]

[Category: Active Skills]

[Explanation: Creates a kind of universal energy, which can change its structure according to the attributes integrated into it and impart special rules or amplify the rules within it.]

[Introduction: A self-created energy made from mixing other rule constructions, requiring mastery of multiple rules to use.

Its essence lies in transformation and enhancement within creation.]

This is Kane’s new skill, customized specifically for him at this moment, and only he can grasp this new skill.

Unless others have exactly the same rules as him, they cannot master this rule.

Kane opens his eyes.

What he sees are Kreya with a curious expression and the surroundings, including Lilu and the others.

They are eager to know what interesting skills Kane has acquired through the colorful magic stone.

Looking at their expressions, Kane smiles: "Want to go to the training ground?"

Upon hearing Kane’s words, everyone nods immediately.

Kane prepares to simply apply his newly acquired ability to satisfy his teammates’ curiosity a bit.

Then they disappear on the spot and appear in the Guild Hall.

Heading straight to the training ground.

"The President has returned."

"I can see for myself, ah, tricolor level, seems like pretty busy days."

"Tricolor level, what can it do exactly? Still exploring the dungeon?"

"You’ll find out if you reach tricolor yourself."

"If I could..."

With Kane’s arrival, the guild’s chat topics once again change.

And Kane and his team have already arrived inside the training ground.

As soon as they enter, Longbei eagerly says loudly: "Come on, brother, show us something!"

He also doesn’t forget to wave his new shield, as if to satisfy his curiosity and then have a match with everyone to regain the dignity lost during his previous training.

"Don’t rush."

Kane smiles and raises his palm.

An energy group composed of countless square particles appears in his hand.

The color of the energy group shifts continuously from blue to white to gray.

The square particles composing the energy keep rearranging, causing a visually twisting impact on one’s spirit.

Kreya curiously asks from the side: "What energy is this, your new skill?"

Although reaching tricolor level, as each advances in different directions, Kreya temporarily cannot determine the peculiarity of Kane’s energy merely by its appearance.

Kane shakes his head.

He infuses Punishing Holy Light into the energy group.

The energy group composed of tiny square particles starts to combine into a slightly convex sphere.

Its color turns from constantly changing to a gentle light gold, almost like milky white.

This color does not spread outward but gathers internally.

It gives a very solid impression of energy.

The changed energy makes Kreya notice some anomalies in the energy group Kane holds.

Perhaps earlier it was not clear, but once infused with other energies, its peculiarities become evident.

"This energy, can it let you grasp the rules you haven’t mastered?" Kreya speaks with uncertainty.

After all, it’s just what she visually perceives as strange.

The rules she detects from the energy group have never been seen on Kane.

With the infusion of Punishing Holy Light, universal energy begins to alter.

With subtle adjustments to the energy, the attribute from the punishment side of Holy Light starts to condense into rules.

These rules Kane does not master, nor has he spent time familiarizing himself with them, yet it is the defining trait of universal rules.

He enhances the punishment aspect of Holy Light, directly attaching this rule.

This is the change brought by the universal energy with a creation essence.

Kane shakes his head with a smile, looking at the equally curious Longbei and begins to explain.

"I haven’t mastered this rule, but I infuse the energies I can use into it, and it automatically enhances the rules within or creates new rules."

"Even without mastery, using this ability allows usage as though possessing the rights."

Upon hearing Kane’s explanation, everyone immediately understands.

"Can all energy do this?" Longbei curiously asks from the side.

Kane nods: "As long as it’s energy I have mastered and can use."

"Then this really suits you well." Kreya smiles from the side, genuinely happy for Kane.

As teammates, they all know Kane’s mastery of strange energies, especially those brought by his prior skills.

Like Divine Power simulating various divine powers, each representing different energies.

For example, various statuses and special effects generated by skills, these are all peculiar energies.

With Kane’s universal energy, these will step onto the stage once again.

"This time there aren’t shiny stones like before? Lilu wants to see those shiny stones."

Lilu flashes appearing on Kane’s shoulder, asking in his ear.

Shiny stones?

Kane was slightly puzzled, but then he understood Lilulu’s meaning.

"This time is different from before, it’s not about acquiring new skills. It’s about the techniques I could already obtain, created based on the rules I know."

Kane explained to Lilulu with a smile.

This time, the so-called condensed Skill Stone was more of a conceptual product, appearing directly within Kane’s body, which he then learned to digest.

"Oh, no more pretty stones in the future? What a pity."

Lilulu said somewhat regretfully.

Hearing Kane’s explanation, Kreya thought for a moment and said, "So the new Magic Stone just saved you time and effort?"

That was Kreya’s inference from hearing Kane, as they were all still in the process of researching and contemplating.

She could understand Kane’s meaning.

Hearing Kreya’s words, Kane nodded affirmatively.

"To skip directly, without the need to research, how nice." Longbei lay on the ground, his tone very envious.

Whether it was Kreya, Longbei, or Meizike, the three of them were still condensing skills with strong personal characteristics based on the already mastered Rule Chains and their own ideas.

It was about fusing these rules, creating skills similar to the abilities Kane was using.

They were a collection of previous Rule Chains.

As for Lilulu, having been ahead of Kane and the others for quite a bit of time, she had already condensed her own skill.

However, Kane and they couldn’t understand much of the Fairy Tale Magic, so they couldn’t see what was special about this skill.

It felt like nothing too different from Fairy Tale Magic, just more exaggerated and powerful.

"You can’t just use this energy directly, can you? Use a Magic Technology weapon?" Kreya asked curiously beside him.

Kane nodded.

Machinery began to appear next to him; through the Origin Skills, a Floating Cannon the size of a human head was rapidly constructed.

This Floating Cannon had an oval body; its head wasn’t an emission port but rather a conical crystal.

The body wasn’t firmly connected but rather floated as fragmented pieces, as if held together by some magic.

One could clearly see the Energy Group inside.

Compared to machinery, this Floating Cannon fundamentally leaned more towards magic.

Everyone watched the operation.

Kane used his familiar Punishing Holy Light for the experiment this time.

The Energy Group inside quickly transformed into a gentle golden color, then passed through the conical crystal at the front.

The conical crystal immediately began to glow and heat up.

Whoosh!

A beam of golden light shot out at a speed completely invisible to the naked eye.

In the distance, the humanoid target Kane set up was instantly penetrated by the golden beam.

The point of penetration turned to dust and fell off, and this effect continued to spread around until the entire humanoid target turned to ash within seconds.

This was the rule effect brought by punishment.

Though Kane hadn’t mastered it, he could convert it to use.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two more beams were shot out.

However, this time Kane didn’t look at the effects of these two beams but focused on the Floating Cannon itself.

With three attacks, the inside of the Floating Cannon began to tremble continuously, and the Energy Group dimmed and brightened intermittently.

With the trembling becoming more obvious, it turned into fragments in everyone’s eyes, disappearing into the air.

At this moment, Kane’s voice sounded.

"The rules in Punishing Holy Light, after all, aren’t what I comprehended or mastered, but what I was using."

Hearing Kane’s words, everyone nodded.

He was explaining why the Floating Cannon shattered after just three attacks.

It was because Kane hadn’t mastered the Punishing Rules within Punishing Holy Light but was merely using them.

Not all materials can withstand the rules.

During the condensing and firing process, the punishment rules already began to exert influence, and the Floating Cannon, even made with relatively high-grade materials by Kane, couldn’t withstand it.

After emitting three rules, it shattered.

Kane constructed another Floating Cannon.

This time the inside energy emitted a strong orange-red glow.

Then the conical crystal at the top fired the energy out.

The emitted beam’s speed wasn’t as instantaneous as the attack brought by Punishing Holy Light.

Although the speed was still not slow.

The humanoid target appearing in the distance was hit instantly again.

But this time, instead of penetration, the beam caused an explosion, and the orange energy fluid splattered from the explosion enveloped and incinerated the humanoid target.

"Burnout Rules?" Kreya immediately sensed the rules behind this attack.

Hearing her question, Kane nodded.

And this time, the Floating Cannon self-immolated immediately after firing just one shot.

This time, the attack brought by the rules was more destructive.

"Really suitable."

The silent Meizike softly remarked.

Hearing this, Longbei nodded vigorously.

Kane, who had Creation Rules and added many chains of rules,

was not afraid of such consumption at all.

Impressive indeed.
