Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start Chapter 816 - 395: Exceptional Rewards Within the Tower! (Double-Length)

Previously on Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start...
Chen Mo learns from the Cat Person about the Rift World's ten towers: five welfare towers offering direct benefits and four challenging ones with substantial rewards, including the Divine Realm Tower that could vastly enhance his Divine Domains. Evaluating his options, he decides to enter the Divine Storage Tower for its Chaos Supreme Treasure, confirmed by Zhui Yi's prior success. Moments later, Zhui Yi emerges from the Divine Skill Tower and warns him that she has already claimed the treasure, reducing the rewards for any new challengers.

Chen Mo saw no fault in Zhui Yi's decisions.

Divine skills were valuable assets, after all. He himself hadn't gotten another one yet, yet Zhui Yi operated as a separate being. Having snagged a Chaos Supreme Treasure from the Divine Storage Tower earlier, it made sense for him to claim divine skills in the Divine Skill Tower too.

Thus, when Zhui Yi warped in to share the update, it preserved the reward slot without any loss.

Perfectly fine.

"Who knew the prizes here operated on limits and first-come, first-served rules?" Chen Mo turned to the feline figure right away and asked, "Is there perhaps a Chaos Supreme Treasure already claimed from the Divine Weapon Tower?"

The feline figure grinned promptly and responded, "A Chaos Supreme Treasure-grade weapon exists in the Divine Weapon Tower, but no one's grabbed it so far. If you feel capable and keen, why not attempt it? Still, securing a Chaos Supreme Treasure proves quite challenging."

Hearing that, Chen Mo grinned too and remarked, "Risk brings reward. If it were simple to get, it wouldn't still be available for me right now."

"So, have you settled on heading to the Divine Weapon Tower? If yes, I can transport you there immediately."

At the feline figure's words, Chen Mo glanced at Zhui Yi and inquired, "Which do you reckon is wiser: the Divine Realm Tower or the Divine Weapon Tower?"

"Divine Power abounds everywhere, while Chaos Supreme Treasures remain scarce. In the Divine Domain, Divine Power lets you advance endlessly, but passing up a Chaos Supreme Treasure might mean never seeing one again."

Zhui Yi broke it down.

In truth, Chen Mo shared that view, though some hesitation held him back.

Zhui Yi's insight solidified his choice, pushing him toward the Divine Weapon Tower.

Yet prior to leaving, Chen Mo instructed Zhui Yi to pick a reward from the Divine Skill Tower upfront, allowing the divine skill to be gained alongside the trip to the Divine Weapon Tower.

This approach boosted the odds of landing a Chaos Supreme Treasure-grade weapon.

With the Mind Reading Technique in Chen Mo's arsenal and Zhui Yi's too, the thought alone made Zhui Yi catch on instantly.

He turned to the feline figure at once and questioned, "Am I able to claim the divine skill reward right here?"

"Since you've never taken a divine skill reward in this place before, yes, you absolutely can," the feline figure answered, beaming.

Earlier, the feline figure had suggested three divine skills tailored for Chen Mo, owing to their harmony with the power rules surrounding him. Cultivating them promised swift progress, though that didn't bar him from other divine skills.

It simply meant longer time to achieve full command.

As noted earlier, divine skills fell into categories by Divine Power usage levels.

Like Ordinary Level, Strong-level, Killing Trick Level, and beyond.

Ordinary Level divine skills used under 20% of Divine Power.

Strong-level ones drained over 20% yet under 40%.

Killing Trick Level skills took more than 40% up to under 60%.

Ultimate Move Level demanded 60% to 80%.

Finishing Move Level required 80% to 99%.

These ranges accounted for proficiency variations in divine skill practice.

For instance, the life-saving divine skill Chen Mo obtained, the Divine Spirit Technique, ranked as a Killing Trick Level one. For a beginner, it consumed a peak of 60% Divine Power.

Thus, until mastery, his Divine Power reserves barely allowed two back-to-back activations.

But at full proficiency, usage fell to just 40%. A complete Divine Power pool then handled two casts, with plenty left for Ordinary Level skills or a single Strong-level one.

Such was the vast gap between novice and expert handling of a divine skill.

Should Chen Mo pick a matching skill, he'd advance from beginner to master in ten days, or half a month tops.

A mismatch, however, could stretch even small progress to six months.

That's why the feline figure urged choices aligned with his nature.

While Zhui Yi served as Chen Mo's outer incarnation, he functioned as a distinct entity with his own soul. Despite shared thoughts, he diverged from Chen Mo, so his entwined power rules differed entirely.

The three divine skills proposed for Zhui Yi differed from those once suggested for Chen Mo.

Zhui Yi paid little mind to learnable options, drawing from memories of Chen Mo's prior selections here.

In the end, his picks would mirror Chen Mo's strengths, since as an outer incarnation, he could shift to item form anytime, rendering practiced divine skills irrelevant.

Each transformation from item to human form reset his powers to the original's current state.

Hence, Zhui Yi's learning mattered little; Chen Mo's did.

Zhui Yi faced Chen Mo directly and stated, "Master, you ought to go for the Divine Mind Technique or the Divine Slash Technique in this spot. Which suits you more?"

Chen Mo pondered briefly and replied, "The Divine Slash Technique. The Divine Mind Technique lacks the ability to bypass foes' traits. Though it boasts wider range, better efficiency, stealth, and evasion difficulty compared to the Divine Slash Technique, skipping traits creates issues. We'll go with the Divine Slash Technique."

"Got it."

Zhui Yi shifted his gaze to the feline figure and declared, "I choose to learn the Divine Slash Technique."

"This divine skill mismatches your power rules, leading to sluggish practice speed. Are you certain of this choice?"

Even knowing their bond, the feline figure, as overseer, issued the required caution.

Zhui Yi grinned and affirmed, "I'm certain."

"Very well, I'll now impart the Divine Slash Technique to you!"

With those words, the feline figure swept his hand, vanishing the three hovering light orbs before Zhui Yi, summoning one anew in their place.

He rested one hand on the levitating orb ahead and the other atop Zhui Yi's head.

Within three seconds, the orb flared with intense, blinding radiance.

As the glow peaked and faded, Zhui Yi sensed a flood of knowledge streaming from the paw's pad on his head into his thoughts.

Quickly, he comprehended the Divine Slash Technique fully.

Simultaneously, as Zhui Yi absorbed the Divine Slash Technique, Chen Mo beside him felt a rush of detailed memories flood his mind.

Instantly, he commanded the Divine Slash Technique too.

"The Divine Slash Technique qualifies as a Killing Trick Level divine skill, yet it stands apart from typical ones in that category. You can modulate its strength at will during execution, scaling it down to Ordinary Level or Strong-level as needed. It all hinges on your opponent's might and your current Divine Power levels."

After transmission, the feline figure offered Chen Mo further guidance without delay.

"My gratitude for the guidance, senior. Now, kindly transport me to the Divine Weapon Tower. Also, may I bring him along?"

"As your outer incarnation, he'll accompany you regardless of my teleportation, given your methods. To spare the hassle, I'll send you both at once. It breaks no regulations."

"Thanks again, senior," Chen Mo replied with a smile. This avoided the need to recall and redeploy Zhui Yi.

Recalling him imposed a one-minute cooldown before redeployment.

Chen Mo's words barely ended when a luminous aura wrapped around him and Zhui Yi.

In the next instant, they materialized inside a fresh tower.

Upon entry, Chen Mo and Zhui Yi scanned their surroundings, noting the Divine Weapon Tower's overseer possessed a striking appearance.

It turned out to be a black and red longsword, complete with eyes and a mouth.
