MONSTER PARADISE

121-140

"It's unnecessary?" Lin Huang frowned, what Leng Yuexin said had crushed the plan that he had in mind.

"Your physique can be trained before you become a transcendent. There are movement skills to strengthen your power, to increase your defensive abilities and even more movement skills to increase your speed..."

"Moreover, before you level-up to a transcendent, your body will transform, causing your physical traits to deteriorate to the bare minimum, taking with it all your physique-based skills. That was why a lot of people who had an amazing physique would have to spend time and resources to cultivate their Life Seed after they become a transcendent."

"So it doesn't matter even there are improvements in my physique increased now? Then wouldn't my Sly Hands be useless by then?"

" Sly Hands would still be useful. After leveling up to a transcendent, Sly Handswould transform into a secret skill called Demonic Hands ." Leng Yuexin explained patiently, " Demonic Hands is quite a useful secret skill."

"So, I do need to consider the things that would happen to my physique after I level up to transcendent in order to pick a suitable Life Seed?" Lin Huang had a new idea in his mind.

"That's right, the best ones would be those with effects to protect your life or to help you in scoring critical hits in your battles. These two types of secret skills are the most useful ones when you become a transcendent." Leng Yuexin nodded.

"But I wouldn't know which Life Seed will be the ones that will evolve into these secret skills. Is it possible to purchase such information from the Hunter Association?" Lin Huang was bummed.

"I'll send you a copy later and you can take a look at the Life Seed encyclopedia." After Leng Yuexin said this, she hesitated and continued, "Actually, since you're talking about bronze-level Life Seeds, I thought of a bronze-level monster that you could kill to get a special secret skill after you became a transcendent. I'm unsure if it's suitable for you."

"Do tell!" That got Lin Huang excited.

"This monster is called a Vile Marionette. It's not exactly powerful but it sure is tough as it has the ability to substitute its body with a faux body. After it is killed, you would get a Life Seed called Substitute , it belongs to the psychic element. Its powers are limited and can only be used three times a day to divert non-fatal attacks. It is less powerful than Life Seeds that come with recovery effects which is why most people shy away from choosing this Life Seed. However, once you have leveled up to a transcendent, it can be upgradedScapegoat, a secret skill, which could help you escape death. It can be used nine times per day."

"Sounds great, I shall put this on my list." Lin Huang did not lack skills.Substitute was a great secret skill once he arrived at transcendent.

"I will send over information regarding secret skills, you can take a look at the rest and think about it."

Leng Yuexin sent over information on secret skills not long after she hung up the phone. Lin Huang sent her a thank you message and started reading. There were not much bronze-level Life Seeds that could evolve when he leveled up to transcendent. There were only 20 of them. Lin Huang flipped through the pages but he did not seem to find one he was satisfied with.

In the end, Scapegoat caught his attention.

"Secret Skill Name: Scapegoat"

"Secret Skill Effect: Substitute your body with a faux body to divert fatal attacks . Limited to nine uses per day."

"Obtaining Secret Skill: From evolving the Substitute Life Seed."

He compared the secret skill with the information he found in the Life Seed encyclopedia.
