The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 587 - 6: Extraordinary Contact [Rhythm of the Wind]

Lu Yuan currently has 1 attribute point and 2 skill points left.

Those were left unused from before.

In the current situation, they have suddenly become particularly precious.

Lu Yuan lies on the hospital bed, pondering how to use the few remaining skill points and attribute points.

He only has two career panels left to use normally.

One is the main panel of [Devouring Spirit: Divine Demon Seed (Super Myth)], which currently has one skill illuminated—[lv1 Devour].

The other is [Mysterious Scholar (Extraordinary)].

[Mysterious Scholar (Extraordinary)] has been active for quite some time, but the level is not high, and only two skills are illuminated on the panel—[lv4 Chaos Divination] and [lv2 Mysterious Perception].

Three usable skills, all of which are auxiliary, not a single combat skill.

All of Lu Yuan's major Evil God System powers are mastered through career panels.

This greatly avoids the possibility of his mind and body gradually being eroded by the Evil God's will as his strength increases.

However, the drawbacks of this power control method are also becoming apparent at this moment.

Away from the career panel, Lu Yuan cannot activate the corresponding Evil God Power at all.

It's as if he can't control Death Qi now, nor can he transform into the form of an eight-armed Asura.

Besides the few auxiliary skills he can still use at hand, all he can rely on is his combat awareness as a former [Martial Arts Grandmaster], along with the corresponding skills and instincts.

"Abilities that can still be used away from the panel are truly my own strength."

Lu Yuan became aware of this long ago, and now being "in distress" has confirmed it quite well.

He cannot use the remaining career panels, yet many abilities of the now-collapsed [Martial Arts Grandmaster] can still be executed.

Because many parts of the latter have been perfectly integrated into his soul and blood, even without the panel, they are still his own.

This is the main reason why Lu Yuan is driven to reclaim [Martial Arts Grandmaster (Extraordinary)].

"The first basic skill upgrade requires at least three skill points; no wonder it's a Super Myth level career panel..."

Lu Yuan stares at the only illuminated [Devour] skill on the [Devouring Spirit: Divine Demon Seed (Super Myth)] panel, sighing lightly, unsure whether to be happy or worried.

The more skill points required to upgrade a skill, the stronger or more impactful its power or effect.

Basic skills require three skill points to upgrade, suggesting the anticipation for high-level skills later on.

Similarly, it can be foreseen that this Super Myth panel will become a "major skill point consumer" in the future!

With those three skill points looming in front of him, Lu Yuan temporarily gave up the idea of upgrading [lv1 Devour].

Feeling at a loss here, Lu Yuan turns his attention towards [Mysterious Scholar (Extraordinary)].

[Mysterious Scholar (Extraordinary)] holds a rather important position in Lu Yuan's heart; the currently unlocked two basic skills are quite practical.

Especially the skill [Chaos Divination], which has provided crucial insights at many critical moments.

Considering this, Lu Yuan simply spends one skill point to unlock the last basic skill of [Mysterious Scholar (Extraordinary)].

With one skill point invested, a light illuminates on the panel.

This newly unlocked skill is named—[lv1 Extraordinary Contact].

"Extraordinary Contact..."

Lu Yuan looks at the newly unlocked skill, ultimately deciding to give it a tentative try.

With a light tap of his finger, an unusual ripple spreads out from the fingertips.

An invisible breeze quietly rises, blowing through Lu Yuan's hair over his forehead, the white sheer curtain at the window....

Finally, in front of Lu Yuan, a gray vortex the size of a fist appears.

Lu Yuan slowly moves his palm towards the gray vortex, shivering slightly the moment his fingertip touches it.

"What's this...?"

A peculiar yet inexplicable light flickers in Lu Yuan's eyes, as unexpected meanings surface at his gaze's depths.

Upon touching the gray vortex, he receives a mysterious hint urging him to offer a sacrifice.

The subject of the sacrifice is naturally still that all-knowing, all-powerful God of Chaos.

As for what he can receive in return after the sacrifice...

He remains unclear.

"So this is what 'Extraordinary Contact' means."

Lu Yuan contemplates, glancing around the room, and finally casually picks up a fruit resembling an apple from the platter on the bedside cabinet, tossing it into the gray vortex.

The gray vortex is only about the size of a fist, just enough to fit one apple.

As the plump and enticingly colored fruit is thrown into the vortex, it immediately disappears; the sacrifice is considered complete?

Lu Yuan waits for a while, and eventually, there's some reaction from the vortex.

"What is that?!"

Seeing something fly out of the gray vortex, Lu Yuan's eyes brighten, instinctively raising his hand to catch it.

"Plop—"

The slippery, moist, slightly cool sensation gives Lu Yuan a pause; upon closer inspection, he discovers it to be a fruit core left by someone!

If he's not mistaken, it's precisely the one he just threw in.

"Uh?!"

Lu Yuan is a bit puzzled.

Is this supposedly the result of the sacrifice?

Offering fruit to receive a leftover fruit core...

Then what's the point of the sacrifice?

Improving the likability with some unknown presence on the other end of the vortex by +1?

The gray vortex in front of him gradually dissipates.

Lu Yuan carefully inspects the core in his hand, confirms that it is nothing more than a typical, leftover fruit core, and then, somewhat speechlessly, tosses it into the wastebasket by his side.
