Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 38

After battling for so long, the Ironbacked Brown Bear had been worn out by Han Xing and Coal.

However, its vitality was truly formidable as it held on with its last breath even after such a fight.

In the current stage, it was impossible for any survivor to defeat it one-on-one.

Even if someone did, they would likely pay a heavy price.

Though Han Xing remained uninjured, the main reason was that Coal had been bearing the brunt of the pressure at the front.

If he had really faced it alone, he might have already been crushed into mush.

The Ironbacked Brown Bear was so formidable, the difference between it and other level 5 elite monsters was negligible.

“Thankfully, it’s not level 6,” Han Xing said with some relief.

In 《Sky Island Paradise》, the transition from level 5 to level 6 was a watershed.

A level 6 monster often had much more formidable attributes compared to a level 5 monster. Ordinary adventurers had no ability to challenge above their level.

However, when survivors leveled up to 6, they experienced a significant boost, not only in attributes but also in equipment.

For players reaching level 6, the equipment they crafted from blueprints saw a great increase in attributes compared to before at level 5, though it came with the limitation of an equipment level requirement.

Before level 5, equipment crafted by players could be worn freely.

But after level 6, the equipment you crafted could only be worn by other survivors who also reached level 6.

At this moment, the Ironbacked Brown Bear was already on its last legs, about to be taken down by Han Xing.

Just then, the Ironbacked Brown Bear suddenly took a deep breath, raised its paw high, and began to channel its terrifying power.

Han Xing immediately realized that this beast was about to unleash the AoE skill ‘Bear Paw Smash’.

But Han Xing wouldn’t let it have its way.

Wind Chasing Arrow!

Whoosh!

The arrow pierced directly into the bear’s eye socket.

Headshot!

Fatal damage!

The massive body of the Ironbacked Brown Bear slowly fell.

A system notification appeared.

[Successfully Killed Ironbacked Brown Bear LV5 (Elite), You Gained +500 XP, Your Pet ‘Coal’ Gained +400 XP.]

[Your level has increased. Current Level: LV5]

[Your pet ‘Coal’s’ level has increased. Current Level: LV4]

“Wow, leveled up again!”

In just one morning, Han Xing was promoted two levels, gaining almost as much XP as he had accumulated over the past five to six days!

He glanced briefly at his own attributes: both his Strength and Dexterity had increased by four points, while his Wisdom and Constitution each improved by two to three points. Not bad at all.

However, when he saw Coal’s attributes, he couldn’t stay calm.

[Pet Information: Void Phantom Wolf (Newborn)]

[Race: Void Race]

[Level: LV4]

[Strength: 15, Dexterity: 25, Wisdom: 14, Constitution: 13]

“Wow! The attributes gained with each level are comparable to me leveling up three times. This little thing really wants to develop into a boss-level template, huh?”

Coal stared at him blankly. With the victory in battle, the little wolf was also extremely excited, constantly pawing at Han Xing’s boots.

Meanwhile, a familiar system prompt appeared again.

[You have killed the elite monster in this area, you can now proceed to explore higher-level areas.]

At the same time, the number of clouds in the distance suddenly increased several times, and he even saw some clouds spanning hundreds or even thousands of square meters.

“Oh? Is this brown bear the strongest monster in this region?”

Han Xing mused while looking down, “It seems I am the fastest survivor to eliminate the regional boss in Area 107. Otherwise, their scores would have skyrocketed by now.”

Then, Han Xing led Coal to the massive brown bear’s corpse.

He then clicked ‘Dissect’, and a system prompt appeared.

[Successfully Dissected Ironbacked Brown Bear’s corpse, Retrieved Refined Iron Arrow x45, Obtained 1-Star Excellent Quality Beast Skin x1 (Damaged), Obtained Thick Bear Meat x964kg, Obtained Bear Paw x2, Obtained Beast Heart x1, Obtained Bl00d of the Strong x20, Obtained Strength Crystal x7, Obtained Savage Bear Strength Potion Formula x1] (T/N: Moving forward, I’ll use “Retrieve” instead of “Recover” and “Formula” instead of “Recipe”.)

“Hmm?”

Han Xing felt a stir in his heart, the items in the beginning were quite ordinary, but he noticed the last prompt.

“Savage Bear Strength Potion Formula?”

Thinking of this, Han Xing looked eagerly at the pile of loot on the ground.

Underneath a huge bear skin, he indeed saw a yellowed paper formula.

Upon picking it up, a system prompt appeared.

[Do you wish to learn the Savage Bear Strength Potion Formula?]

“Yes.”

The next moment, Han Xing saw a second potion formula appear in the formula section.

[Savage Bear Strength Potion: After consumption, you gain the strength of a savage bear, increasing your Strength by 30% for 100s.]

[Crafting Materials Required for the Potion: Bl00d of the Strong x10, Spirit Core x5, Tiger Bone Grass x1, Strength Crystal x1]

“Increase Strength by 30%?” Han Xing was a bit surprised.

According to the calculation method where Hunter class has 1 point of Strength equaling 2 points of firepower, his current Strength is 18 points, which works out to be 5.4 points of Strength, or nearly 11 points of firepower.

It’s almost comparable to the boost from a weapon, so the effect is really astonishing!

“With this potion, it’s like gaining at least a 20% increase in firepower during battles, which is quite a decent benefit!”

Han Xing exclaimed excitedly: “Moreover, this is just the improvement for the Hunter class. For melee classes like the Warrior, where 1 point of Strength equals 3 points of firepower, the improvement would be even greater!”

“Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun should both find this useful.”

With this thought, Han Xing immediately created 100 bottles of the Savage Bear Strength Potion.

After all, he currently has plenty of materials and isn’t lacking!

Then he reached out to Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun, trading 20 bottles with each of them.

He encouraged them to keep pushing on the leaderboard.

With these potions, their firepower would be greatly enhanced, and their speed in exploring the sky islands would accelerate significantly.

At this point, Han Xing glanced at the leaderboard.

After merging the territory of this brown bear, his territory points increased by over 60 m², breaking through 800 points, and he directly surged into the top 10!

Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun, refusing to lag behind, also saw their ranks rapidly rising.

Especially Cheng Jianyong, being a Warrior class, saw a massive boost in firepower after receiving the Savage Bear Strength Potion!

At this moment, he was like someone on steroids, with his ranking continuously soaring.

Previously, he had risen from 37th to 25th place in just an hour.

However, after using the Savage Bear Strength Potion, it took him only half an hour to gain over 50 points, directly breaking into the top 20!

The rate of increase is almost catching up with Han Xing.

In the chat channel, the survivors were utterly shocked.

Someone swallowed hard and whispered: “How on earth did these guys do it?”

“When did our Area 107 get a few monsters like this?”

His tone was full of disbelief, and many survivors shared the same thought in their hearts.

“Pro Star River is one thing, in just 3 hours, his score increased by over 200 points, and now, shortly after, it increased by nearly another 60 points.”

“But what’s going on with Lonely Hero and Cloud Dawn? How are they also managing a score increase of a hundred points per hour?”

No one could answer.

At this moment, someone said: “Whisperer and Papaya Star Spirit still haven’t changed their scores, what are these people doing?”

“Could it be that Star River will really rise up and reclaim a spot in the top 3?”

Hearing this, the survivors of God’s Whisper and Airplane Men felt a weight in their hearts. They thought Whisperer, Papaya Star Spirit, and others already had victory within their grasp.

But now, they couldn’t help but feel nervous for them!
