NOVEL WEB Chapter 469: Advanced Essence
"No way, is the damage from the Scorching Eyes that high?"
Seeing the HP bar of the Tier-4 Mutated Plant Overlord cleared to zero, Wang Tao was very surprised.
He knew that the "Scorching Eyes" Ability was good, and he also knew that after his Ascension to Level 5, his strength had increased a lot. But this was still a Level 4 Lord with 200,000 HP!
What was more, there were three Level 4 Lords!
Since they were all lined up against the wall, Wang Tao's High-Temperature Ray instantly went through all three, killing them in one strike!
"Is this the power of a Fifth Order Awakener..."
Even Wang Tao, who had seen big battles before, was somewhat excited.
After all, his "Scorching Eyes" Ability was different from his other Abilities; it was Wang Tao's second Long-range attack ability! The first was "Air Bullet," which wasn't very powerful, and its effectiveness decreased with distance.
As for Abilities like Shockwave, in Wang Tao's eyes, they didn't count as long-range attacks but more like medium-range.
But "Scorching Eyes" was different; the thing's attacking range was far-reaching, and it was undeniably powerful, using Awakening Energy!
Previously, Wang Tao always dodged when encountering a Giant Zombie. Not that he was afraid to fight, but because the Giant Zombie was too tall, and his attack range was too close, he couldn't reach the head of the Giant Zombie... But now, seeing the capability of "Scorching Eyes," Wang Tao felt he might try it next time when encountering a Giant Zombie.
And it was not just the Giant Zombies; even if it was a Giant Eagle in front of him, Wang Tao wanted to give it a try! Now that he was Level 5, even though the Giant Eagle could fly, he had a long-range attack with high attack speed and high power. He was fearless!
It could only be said that the Giant Eagle had better pray not to encounter him, or else Wang Tao wouldn't be polite. The Giant Eagle had chased him for so long; it was time to pay some interest!
"Principal Wang, what happened?"
At this moment, the Director of Education, Pan Jian, hurriedly came to Wang Tao's side and asked.
Although the surrounding environment was dim, he and the students all saw two faint red glows.
"Nothing, just cleared some obstacles."
Wang Tao stated indifferently.
As he spoke, the black fog was slowly dispersing around them, and the flashlights everyone was carrying began to light up.
After they walked forward about ten meters, they saw three Mutated Plants that had already died.
"Hss—"
Although they didn't know the level of these three Mutated Plants, seeing their immense size and ferocious appearance, they knew they were formidable.
Especially in this kind of environment, if one were not careful, death would likely be swift and silent.
But these three Mutated Plants were dead, each with a hole the size of a bowl through them as if something had instantly pierced through them, killing them in one strike.
Everyone subconsciously looked toward Wang Tao; awe was visible in the students' eyes. To be able to kill monsters from such a distance in such a dark environment was truly fitting for a principal!
And the few teachers who were Fourth-order Awakeners appeared serious.
They vaguely felt that these three dead Mutated Plants carried the aura of Level 4, Lords! To kill Level 4 Lords in one strike—and three at once?
They knew the principal was strong, but this was somewhat ridiculous.
Wang Tao, naturally unaware of others' thoughts, approached the three Mutated Plants to take a closer look.
There were Crystal Cores within these plants' bodies, all three of Purple Quality and with the same function.
[Tier-4 Crystal Nucleus: Nutrient Absorption]
[Quality: Excellent (60%)]
[Purity: 35% (Side Effect: Body Lignification)]
[Nutrient Absorption: Passive Ability, standing on the ground allows the absorption of nutrients from the soil, slowly regenerating HP]
Wang Tao had already obtained such Crystal Cores, and he had even fused them with other Abilities; now, it lay within his "Berserk Enhancement" Ability, letting him slowly regenerate HP whenever he was on the ground.
However, this thing regenerated HP too slowly, not nearly as good as Lan Yulian's HP increase, or simply kissing Ding Yuqin. So, while it might be nice for others, it was superfluous for him.
Besides these three Crystal Cores, a somewhat familiar liquid flowed out from the insides of these three plants. Wang Tao immediately collected it.
[Acquired: Advanced Tree Essence Liquid *328]
[Advanced Tree Essence Liquid: Can enhance the strength of a creature]
"Advanced Tree Essence Liquid?"
Wang Tao's eyes lit up.
He still had a lot of "Tree Essence Liquid" in his hands, but they were mostly useless now.
Using one dose of "Tree Essence Liquid" could increase by 100 HP and 100 Mana, with a maximum of 10 doses at a time, followed by a cooldown period that varies from person to person.
This was nice in the early stages, but once a person's HP exceeded 100,000, "Tree Essence Liquid" no longer had any HP increase effect, only a Mana increase. And when Mana also reached 100,000, there was no more Mana increase either—effectively no effect at all. Moreover, whether it was due to side effects from Crystal Cores deducting the HP limit or Awakening reducing the HP limit, using "Tree Essence Liquid" had no effect.
Thus, "Tree Essence Liquid" was of no use to Wang Tao; he left them for Ding Yuqin and the others to slowly increase their Mana.
But now, he obtained "Advanced Tree Essence Liquid," and since it mentioned being advanced, it surely wasn't the same as the ordinary.
Just now, Wang Tao killed these three Mutated Plants and increased his max HP limit by 15,000, now reaching a max HP limit of 45,000, with a Mana limit of 120,000.
