Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense-Chapter 49 - 48: Blood Slaughter God Takes a Disciple, Shocking the Nation!

Chapter 49: Chapter 48: Blood Slaughter God Takes a Disciple, Shocking the Nation!

There is still one hour left before the end of the national exam, and all major news media are closely watching the exam rankings.

But at this very moment, on Great Xia’s official channel, an influencer officially certified as Tu Hongwu started speaking:

"I will take this year’s top scorer as my disciple!"

As soon as this information was released, even those who were not originally interested in this matter were shocked.

Who is Tu Hongwu? He’s the Blood Slaughter God!

This is a genuine divine-level powerhouse, a divine-level powerhouse suddenly jumping out and saying he’s going to take this year’s top scorer as his disciple!

Suddenly, news stories flooded the entire Great Xia, and not just Great Xia, the entire world was shocked by Tu Hongwu’s announcement.

......

minutes later, Su Mo’s attribute points once again broke through 1000.

At this time, there’s less than 10 minutes left before the national exam ends.

But even the second place on the leaderboard, Chu Tian, is still 3000 points behind him.

Thinking that no matter how hard he tries in the last 10 minutes, it’s impossible to get all attributes to over 1000.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Mo first increased his Critical Strike attribute to 1000 points, and then deliberated over the remaining 556 assignable free attribute points before finally allocating them to Spirit Attribute.

"Open the attribute panel!"

[Name: Su Mo]

[Level: 9] (Experience bar exceeded by 320%, current experience bar sealed, unable to level up!)

[Awakened Abilities: Absolute Defense, Heart of Slaughter]

[Strength: 1016]

[Defense: max]

[Speed: 1000]

[Constitution: 1000]

[Critical Strike: 1000%]

[Spirit: 582]

[Skills: Mountain Collapse and Earth Split (upgradable), Frenzied Strike (upgradable)]

[Assignable Free Attribute Points: 0]

When the Spirit Attribute was increased to 580 points, Su Mo felt entirely refreshed.

His eyes were bright and clear, and many things he couldn’t figure out before became clear at this moment.

Moreover, he could feel that within a 100-meter radius centered on him, everything could clearly emerge in his mind.

Although it didn’t have the effect of telekinesis like moving objects at a distance, the detection effect seemed quite good.

It was at this moment that Su Mo fully understood that the Spirit attribute was not solely indicative of spiritual power.

And it’s not that it’s only effective for mage classes.

Perhaps it was because of being misled during class, leading to the idea that only mage or warlock professions would strongly pursue the Spirit attribute, causing warrior types to deem Spirit as unimportant.

But that’s understandable, as ordinary warriors find it extremely difficult to even train their physical strength attributes to over 1000 points, let alone the Spirit attribute, which they can’t use at all.

This was the best choice made under the constraint of limited assignable free attributes.

But Su Mo didn’t have such worries.

Especially when he saw the upgrade symbol displayed behind the two skills in the skill bar, he was excited.

Previously, he had been pondering, even though he had obtained the skills, how exactly to upgrade them.

For a skill like Mountain Collapse and Earth Split, without discussing elsewhere, he used it no less than 500 times in this dungeon alone.

Yet even then, he still hadn’t gained any upgrade experience, which troubled him immensely.

It wasn’t until now that he realized that to upgrade skills, it’s not just about practicing the skills repeatedly, but also having a sufficient Spirit attribute.

He used his mind to click on the Mountain Collapse and Earth Split skill.

[Mountain Collapse and Earth Split description: Powerfully wield a weapon to deal massive damage to enemies in a 20-meter cone-shaped area in front, simultaneously generating an earthquake effect that makes it difficult for enemies to stand.] (upgradable)

[Upgrade effect, Mountain Collapse and Earth Split Lv2, powerfully wield a weapon to deal massive damage to enemies in a 40-meter cone-shaped area in front, while generating an earthquake effect that makes it difficult for enemies to stand.]

After upgrading the Mountain Collapse and Earth Split skill, the damage range directly doubled.

Although the range was still displayed in a cone shape like before, which left him a bit disappointed.

He still chose to upgrade directly.

A golden light flashed across his body, and the skill panel of Su Mo showed the Lv2 mark behind Mountain Collapse and Earth Split.

The Mountain-Breaking Heaven-piercing Halberd, weighing 10 tons, smashed fiercely toward the ground, and a light yellow glow emerged on his body as the Mountain Collapse and Earth Split skill was directly used.

[Rumble~]

An impact ripple in a cone shape spread from Su Mo’s front towards the distant, stopping only 40 meters away.

Where the ripple passed, the entire ground sunk down by three meters as if plowed, with stones within the soil shattered by the ripple.

Not only was the spread range larger than before, but even the power was much greater.

After testing the skill, Su Mo had a satisfied smile on his face, and then looked back at the skill panel, but his face quickly fell.

Originally, both of his skills were upgradeable, but after he chose to upgrade Mountain Collapse and Earth Split, the upgrade option behind Frenzied Strike disappeared.

Although Mountain Collapse and Earth Split still showed it could be upgraded, it made him feel a bit disappointed.

For now, a 40-meter range group attack skill seemed to suffice for him.

His main issue was that his group attack didn’t spread from the center outwards but formed a cone shape.

If it spread outward with him at the center, even an attack range upgrade to 100 meters would feel insufficient to him.

Hence, he still desired a burst skill that could cause more damage to bosses.

It should be noted his Critical Strike attribute had already surpassed 1000; utilizing Frenzied Strike where the Strength attribute instantly triples, delivering the strongest hit, combined with a 10x critical strike for 30x damage.

With such 30x damage, even the Duke of Furious Fang would be cleaved to death by a single strike.

Since the wrong upgrade choice was made, Su Mo saw no other option but to continue upgrading Mountain Collapse and Earth Split.

[Mountain Collapse and Earth Split Lv3, powerfully wield a weapon to deal massive damage to enemies in a 120-meter cone-shaped area in front, generating an earthquake effect that makes it difficult for enemies to stand.]

[Mountain Collapse and Earth Split!]

[Rumble~]

One skill down, the ground in front of Su Mo ended up forming a massive canyon, with ample soil and water pouring in, swiftly occupying the entire canyon.

Though the canyon appeared cone-shaped, which was somewhat strange.

But with a depth reaching a hundred meters, it could indeed be called a canyon.

Seeing such skill damage, Su Mo was completely stunned.

This 120-meter attack range wasn’t mentioned as length, width, and height combined!

With such a skill, how am I supposed to use it in real life?

Used in one-on-one combat, it’s ineffective; in group battles, a single skill creates a massive pit.

Shaking his head, Su Mo thought, it seems skill matters need to be discussed with his master for better skills after the national exam ends.

Just as he thought of this, a white light shone in the sky, and the world’s network paused as if the screen was frozen.

The next moment, a light flashed, and Su Mo was back at the plaza of Celestial City High School.

The national exam was over, and Su Mo had secured first place among tens of thousands of students with an astounding score of 14100 points.

As soon as Su Mo appeared in the plaza, a batch of microphones nearly reached his mouth; if his Spirit attribute hadn’t already improved significantly, he nearly activated Mountain Collapse and Earth Split right there.

"Su Mo, congratulations once again on becoming the top scorer of the national exam. Do you have the confidence to keep the lead on the leaderboard and become the disciple of the Blood Slaughter God?"

"Su Mo, what do you think of the Blood Slaughter God, and have you thought about becoming his disciple?"
