312: Point Reset 1

The light dissipated, and the figures of Huang Chen and Colored Scales appeared in an enclosed space resembling a Roman Colosseum.

"Follow me." Colored Scales turned, her purple hair tracing a beautiful arc behind her, leading Huang Chen toward the center of the "Colosseum." There was a diagram of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams there, and in the very center sat a five-colored crystal ball.

"Press your hand onto it, and you can reset your potential points. You can also use the crystal ball to summon different monsters to fight."

Colored Scales walked up to the crystal ball and said flatly, "You only have one hour."

"Okay!"

Huang Chen nodded, immediately pressed his hand onto the crystal ball, and a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! You can use the crystal ball to reset your potential points and summon puppets of different strengths to battle. Healing medicine cannot be used during the battle, and you will not die.]

As the system sound faded, an operation panel appeared before Huang Chen.

The first option was resetting potential points, and the second was summoning a puppet.

Huang Chen clicked on Summon Puppet.

Countless monster templates immediately appeared on the interface, along with human templates.

Looking at the introduction at the top: [You can select an existing puppet template or freely set the puppet's attributes, such as HP, Movement Speed, Attack Speed, Attack Power, All Resistance, etc.]

After browsing, based on his strength assessment from fighting bosses in the Mirror Shadow Tower, Huang Chen figured he should be able to defeat an SS-rank base monster for now. Thus, he directly clicked on the attributes of the Level 100 Epic Boss Vajra Demon Ape. [Note: The attribute calculation method for monsters is completely different from that for humans at the same level.]

[Vajra Demon Ape (Metal Element Epic-tier Boss)]

[Level: 100]

[HP: 10 billion]

[Attack Power: 10 million]

[All Resistance: 80,000]

[Movement Speed: 350 meters/second]

[Attack Speed: 3 times/second]

[Skill 1: Vajra Heavy Hammer: Vajra's normal punch, dealing 120% damage. No CD.]

[Skill 2: Vajra Arm Sweep: Centering itself, it performs a powerful sweep across a 180-degree frontal fan-shaped area! Deals 150% of its Attack Power in damage. CD two seconds.]

[Skill 3: Demon Roar: Vajra pounds its chest and lets out a massive roar, dealing 100% of its Attack Power in damage and stunning surrounding enemy units for 3 seconds. CD 30 seconds.]

[Skill 4: Impact: Vajra charges at the enemy unit at four times its speed, dealing 200% of its Attack Power in damage and stunning the enemy unit for 3 seconds. CD 30 seconds.]

[Skill 5: Blood Battle: When the Tiger King's HP drops below 50%, its entire body's blood energy will be stimulated, increasing its base All Resistance, Attack, and HP recovery speed by two times for 120 seconds. After the skill effect ends, the Tiger King will enter a 60-second period of weakness, during which all attributes are halved. Cooldown 5 minutes.]

[Skill 6: Vajra Body: Vajra greatly increases its defense and removes negative status effects by metallizing its entire body. Duration 60 seconds, CD 5 minutes.]

Huang Chen was stunned looking at the attributes, then a look of delight appeared on his face.

Attributes of monsters were no longer displayed in the current Star Abyss, but could he use the point-resetting method to record all the boss attributes?

In his previous life, he had never come to Peach Blossom Island to reset points, so he didn't know many things. Major powers wouldn't spread this method, and it was already difficult for ordinary people to gather 3 gems for a point reset. Even if they did, they wouldn't dare waste this hour to research it.

He immediately sent a message to Tie Shengnan.

[Huang Chen: You can see the templates for various monsters and boss attributes when resetting points on Peach Blossom Island. Arrange for people to record them! This is very important!]

[Tie Shengnan: ...]

[Tie Shengnan: You, as the Guild Leader... Open the third item in the guild database. All boss templates from the Peach Blossom Island crystal ball are there! It has been announced several times in the guild chat panel.]

[Huang Chen: ...]

He then opened the guild panel, and sure enough, the third item in the database was: [Boss Templates] (Viewable by Core members and above).

He awkwardly rubbed the tip of his nose. He really hadn't paid much attention to the guild announcements.

He decided to first test how his current strength fared against the Demon Ape.

As Huang Chen finished his selection, a large gorilla, about 3 meters tall and covered in dark golden fur, appeared in the "Colosseum."

As the gorilla appeared, the entire altar and crystal ball immediately vanished.

"Roar!"

The Vajra Demon Ape let out a deafening roar, its massive body moving like a dark golden afterimage, charging straight at Huang Chen!

"So fast!" Huang Chen's pupils contracted slightly. This speed far exceeded his current speed; he couldn't outrun it.

He exerted force with his feet, and his body rapidly darted backward and to the side like a phantom. The Demon Ape grazed past him. Although he wasn't hit by the frontal charge, just the graze alone took away nearly a million of Huang Chen's HP.

[Vajra Arm Sweep!]

Missing its attack, the Demon Ape reacted astonishingly fast. It immediately turned, and its massive metallic fist swept over, accompanied by a piercing sound of air being torn! Its agility was completely disproportionate to its size.

"Soul Severing Stab!"

It was at this critical moment that Huang Chen immediately used Soul Severing Stab to evade far away.

The flawless Soul Severing Stab provided an 8x speed bonus, and Huang Chen quickly opened up a huge distance from the Vajra.

"Black and Yellow Body!"

"Golden Bell Shield!"

As soon as he stopped, Huang Chen immediately activated two defensive skills.

The radius of the "Colosseum" was at most about 10 kilometers, and soon, the Vajra's figure kept growing larger in Huang Chen's vision.

The Vajra's strength was much higher than he had imagined. Moreover, in this space, he couldn't use any of his Halos, causing his strength to drop by several tiers, compounded by the Vajra's level suppression.

As a result, Huang Chen was completely suppressed by the Vajra throughout the fight. Ten minutes later, Huang Chen's HP was emptied, and he reappeared next to the altar.

"Sure enough, the way I added points before was wrong!" Huang Chen thought to himself.

In terms of attributes, he shouldn't have fewer than the Vajra right now, but the difference in their defense capabilities was enormous.

Huang Chen pressed onto the crystal ball again.

As Huang Chen's thought settled, the potential points for the five attributes on his personal panel immediately returned to zero, and his available potential points became 1,192,004 points.

The moment Huang Chen reset his attribute points, a look of horror flashed across Colored Scales' face.

"One million one hundred ninety thousand?" Colored Scales, floating in the air, muttered to herself, "Am I seeing things?"

What was the concept of nearly 1.2 million potential points?

Her Medusa Clan had stayed in the Star Abyss for trillions of years. Every generation eventually received some fortune bestowed by the clan. Now, their clan's Fortune Value exceeded ten billion, and their base bone structure was 2,000.

Take Cai Yifeng, who is currently 120 years old and outside. He is considered the elite of the elites of the Medusa Clan. He reached Level 100 at age 20, then underwent 20 years of cultivation, breaking the shackles of the realm to reach the Saint Tier. He then only took 50 years to reach Level 200, and recently broke through to the God Tier in one fell swoop.

As far as Colored Scales knew, the other party's current potential points were only around 600,000.

However, how could the current Trial Taker deserve this? How could his potential points break a million when he was only Level 60-something?

Had Star Abyss encountered some kind of BUG?

Meanwhile, Huang Chen's attention was entirely focused on the panel.

According to Soros, attributes would undergo a qualitative change once they exceeded 100,000 points. Thus, Huang Chen directly added 100,000 points to each attribute.

He glanced at the panel.

[Name: Huang Chen (Male) Talent (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth)]

Thereafter, every two points of Resistance added increases All Resistance by one point. The stacking calculation for equipment percentage damage reduction and status duration reduction is: 80% + (1-80%) * Equipment 1 Percentage Value + (1-80% - calculated number from equipment) * Equipment 2 Percentage Value...]
