Chapter 939: Chapter 371 Multiple Awakenings (Seeking Double Monthly Pass)_2
And speaking of the [Fireball] Ability, he was reminded of the [Explosion] Ability he had prepared earlier. He now had an Ability slot open and was ready to fuse them.
Wang Tao, holding these two Epic Crystal Cores, quicklympleted the fusion.
[Explosion: Compress all Awakening Energy, then burst it instantaneously (the magnitude of the power is related to the Awakening Energy).
This was a very strong area-of-effect attacking ability, one thatuld straight-up produce a mushroom cloud! Wang Tao had been deeply impressed by it when he first saw it.
However, this Abilitynsumed not just Mana but also Awakening Energy, and to increase its power, he would have to increase the Awakening Energy…
Wang Tao didn’t know how much energy was needed to create a mushroom cloud anduldn’t experiment for the time being—after all, heuldn’t test such a thing in the city. If it triggered a base alarm or even blasted his house to pieces, that would be troublesome.
In the next few days, he might have to go out again, especially since so many Awakeners had suddenly appeared. Their awakenings might not all be suitable for testing within the city, and they might need to go outside for testing instead. That would be a good opportunity for Wang Tao to try out the Explosion Ability.
After fusing the Abilities, Wang Tao began to organize the equipment in his Space Backpack and looked for gear thatuld be inlaid with Crystal Cores to test their effects.
Wang Tao had actually alreadynducted some simple tests, but not many.
He knew that same-tier equipmentuld only be inlaid with same-tier Crystal Cores, and special Crystal Cores, like Ascension,uld not be inlaid.
He had also inlaid a Crystal Core before—it was the Flame Gauze Dress that he gave to Lan Yulian, inlaid with the [Slow Healing] Ability.
[Slow Healing: When HP falls below 50%, rver 10 HP every snd until reaching 50% HP then it stops (activated,nsumes 1 Awakening Energy per day, 3% Crystal Core Energy. Binds to the user upon activation. Rebinding required if changed.)]
Lan Yulian hadn’t been Awakened before, so sheuldn’t use this Ability. Now that she had awakened, she naturallyuld. However, her HP had never dropped below 50%, so the Ability had never been triggered. After all, she was a healer, and Wang Tao wouldn’t let her take risks; her HP had always been full. So the Crystal Core hadn’t been used much anduld still last a long while…
Beyond these examples, there were other aspects that Wang Tao didn’t quite understand.
This time, after spending some Crystal Core Energy, he finally began to roughly understand.
Inlaying equipment with Crystal Cores had its own intricacies—
Firstly, if it was an Ability he had learned, inlaying it into equipment meant heuldn’t use the Ability from that piece of equipment.
For example, if he had learned [Fireball], and then he inlaid another [Fireball], heuldn’t produce two Fireballs at the same time… it was still impossible. The inlaid [Fireball] on the equipment would be ineffective for him.
Sndly, Abilities thatnsumed Awakening Energy, like [Fireball] or [Explosion],uld not be inlaid onto equipment.
Originally, Wang Tao had thought that an [Explosion] Ability inlaid into equipment would be very powerful, but now it seemed ituldn’t be inlaid at all…
In addition, aside from those special Crystal Cores like Ascension thatuldn’t be inlaid, there were also some Crystal Cores thatuldn’t be inlaid—or to be more precise,uld be inlaid but would have no effect. For example, Crystal Cores that increased HP or Mana wouldn’t have any effect if inlaid.
The last point was that the inlaid Crystal Cores were actually related to the part of the equipment they were placed in. If inlaid in the wrong position, theyuld still fit but would have no effect or even be unusable. However, changing to therrect position would make them effective!
For instance, the [High-Frequency Vibration] Crystal Coreuld be inlaid, but only onto a weapon, and it had to be a bladed weapon.
If inlaid onto a blunt weapon like a club, the Ability would still work but wouldn’t add much power.
If inlaid onto chest armor or leg armor, it would have no effect at all anduldn’t be used, thus wasting a Crystal Core…
Therefore, inlaying equipment with Crystal Cores wasn’t as simple as using any Crystal Core at hand; it required careful study.
After some research, Wang Tao inlaid a Rush Crystal Core onto his Black Stone Armor Top.
Although Wang Tao was not slow, and his speed over short distances even exceeded that of a Rush, the Rush Abilityuld instantly charge over thirty meters anduld be usednsecutively! So, for the time being, whether for attacking or escaping, this Ability was still pretty good.
Then, Wang Tao inlaid a Jumping Crystal Core into his Black Stone Armor Pants.
Even though his physical fitness allowed him to jump quite high, he hadn’t learned the Jump Ability. Bymbining it with the Jumping Ability, his limit would be greatly enhanced!
Then Wang Tao’s dagger and Jiang Shixue’s daggeruld also be set withres, but as they were Level 5 equipment, theyuld only be inlaid with Level 5 Crystal Cores.
Although Wang Tao had Level 5 Crystal Cores in his possession, these were all dropped by the Night Demon Lord when he was killed, so they were mainly for abilities like Power and increasing HP, and were useless when set in weapons, so he would have to address that issue later.
However, Wang Tao’s main weapon, the Sharp Long Knife,uld be inlaid withres. Even though it didn’t have any slots, heuld use a Gem Slot Opener to create them. This was also true for the Night Demon Equipment he was wearing.
But there was no need to open slots in the Night Demon Equipment because the pieces Wang Tao was wearing were Level 5, and even if he opened the slots, he didn’t have any Crystal Cores to inlay them…
As for the main weapon, the long knife, Wang Tao set an [Heavy Instrument] Crystal Core that he had obtained previously from outside.
Sharp Long Knife
Fourth-tier (Excellence)
[Durability +80, Attack Power +80,mes with Armor Break, Bleed Effect (Armor Break, Bleed Effect require Awakening Energy) Ability: Heavy Instrument]
[Heavy Instrument: When attacking a target with a melee weapon, the weapon’s weight increases]
Wang Tao tested it out and found that the meaning of Heavy Instrument was that when he held the knife, its weight did not change at all. It was only when he struck a target with the knife that the knife suddenly became very heavy.
Wang Tao didn’t feel it was too noticeable himself, but Zhen Guo, holding a Shield, was directly knocked to his knees by one of Wang Tao’s strikes, even causing the ground to crack!
This Ability seemed a bit brutal, but in terms of damage alone, the increase in weapon weight clearlyuld notmpare to abilities of the [High-Frequency Vibration] tier.
However, Wang Tao didn’t have any suitable Crystal Cores for himself, and not just any Crystal Coreuld be set into a weapon… Anyway, he would make do with it for now and would switch to a better one when he found it later.
Wang Tao also had two pieces of Heavy armor suit thatuld be inlaid in his Space Backpack, but he almost never used that kind of equipment now, so there was no rush. It was a pity that small items like ringsuldn’t be inlaid…
“Oh right, sister-in-law, how’s your whip training going?”
Wang Tao suddenly asked.
The Poison rpion Whip he crafted was a very nice piece of equipment. Coupled with the [Whip] Ability he had previously obtained, it would be a good fit if someone learned to use whip weapons.
However, none of the othersuld learn it, so Ding Yuqin decided to learn it herself. She didn’t want Wang Tao’s efforts to go to waste.
“How about we give it a try?”

Ding Yuqin seemed eager to experiment.
After a night of Deep Communication with Wang Tao, she had moved on from the shadow of her failed Awakening.
“Sure!”
After a simple exchange with Ding Yuqin, Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.
“Sister-in-law, you’ve made great progress in training!”
Yu Qin was already handling her double whips with ease.
“Hehe~”
Wang Tao’s praise made Yu Qin very happy, and it made all herntinuous practice worthwhile.
Then Wang Tao also sparred with Han Rui and Yang Changhong, and their progress was also obvious. Although they had not gone out with Wang Tao, they had not neglected their training, and even had Zhen Guo arrange military-style training for them, so as to keep up with Wang Tao and not fall behind.
Li Qiuyu, who always said she was the weak link, didn’t give up on improving herself either… Wang Tao found thatmforting. Everyone was working hard!
Just as Wang Tao was about to have a good sparring session with He Jijun and the others, Qu Shilin suddenly sent a message. It was about the sale of the Night Demon Heart.
