Chapter 570: Chapter 268: Active Becomes Passive? Epic Passive: Unyielding Body

"Gained: Basic Attribute Points, Agility +1."

Early in the morning, Lin Mo felt quite pleased as he looked at the prompt before him.

He had spent the last few days selflessly helping them raise their Attributes, and now he was finally enjoying an increase himself.

With this new point, his Basic Agility Attribute had reached 83, which was nearly the same as Shefilya’s.

Soon, he wouldn’t be able to leech any more stats off of Shefilya.

In return, the benefits Shefilya gained from him were far greater than a single Basic Attribute Point—a full 3 points!

Although they were in Strength and Constitution rather than her Main Attribute, Agility, it was still a significant boost to her Combat Power.

Lin Mo had also asked about Feney.

Magic Professions couldn’t gain Strength, Constitution, or Agility, but rather Magic Power and Spirit.

With Feney’s talent and Lin Mo’s help, she would probably reach Level 5 in another day...

As he was mulling this over, the young maid had already finished getting him ready, making him look neat and presentable.

Lin Mo casually patted Shefilya’s head, gave a wave, and left the inn.

As per his agreement with Grim, today was the day to go cause trouble for Leonard.

...

[Resilience] Proficiency +1

"Skill [Resilience] Level 6 (300/300) has leveled up!"

"Current Skill: [Resilience] Level 7 (Max)"

"Gained: Basic Attribute Points, Constitution +5!"

It’s finally max level!

Come to think of it, [Resilience] was Lin Mo’s first Blue Excellent Level Skill. He hadn’t even left Roland Town when he first got it.

He had a pile of Epic Skills now, yet this one had only just reached max level.

That sure wasn’t easy!

The difficult grind only made Lin Mo more excited for the New Skill that would come after its evolution.

"Has automatically evolved into a New Skill—Unyielding Body!"

"Skill Comprehension: [Unyielding Body]! Gained: Basic Attribute Points, Constitution +5!"

[Unyielding Body]: Level 1 (0/20): Permanently enhances your defense. Automatically consumes Qi and Blood to reduce all incoming physical damage by 30% and reflect 60% of the reduced damage to the attacker (reflection effect can be toggled off). The Skill can be cast on others, but its effects are reduced to 60%.

"Huh?"

"Huh?!"

Lin Mo was stunned for more than ten seconds before he snapped out of it.

’So it just turned into a Passive Skill?’

The effect of the [Resilience] Skill was quite good. In many situations, it had helped Lin Mo mitigate crucial damage. That, combined with his Constitution—which was much higher than that of a typical non-Knight Professional—and the protection from his gear, resulted in an incredibly high defensive capability.

Take yesterday for example. Even an expert on Grim’s level could barely break his defense without using Skills, as long as Resilience was active.

It also provided a reflection effect, and after choosing an Evolutionary Path, it could be cast on others. If there was any downside to the Skill, it was that it only had three charges, making it a hassle to reapply it constantly.

But now that problem was solved. The upgraded version of [Resilience], [Unyielding Body], had become a fully automatic Defense Class Skill.

In other words, it was essentially a Passive Skill.

Whenever Lin Mo was about to take physical damage, the Skill would automatically activate, consuming a certain amount of Qi and Blood to mitigate the damage and reflect it.

Moreover, he could cast it on others without needing to choose an Evolutionary Path first.

This was far more convenient than the original [Resilience] Skill. It wasn’t just about convenience, either. There were times when Lin Mo might forget or not have time to cast [Resilience]. But after upgrading it to [Unyielding Body], the Skill would activate automatically even if an enemy launched a sneak attack that he didn’t notice. In certain situations, this could produce surprisingly effective results.

Although the increase in damage reduction wasn’t huge—only from 29% for a max-level [Resilience] to 30%—the massive functional enhancement more than made up for the minor numerical increase.

Lin Mo was very satisfied with this new Epic Skill.

Now then, as usual, this Skill should also have corresponding Evolutionary Directions to choose from.

Lin Mo was actually curious. The choices from [Resilience]’s original Evolutionary Direction had already been incorporated as inherent functions in the new Skill. So, what kind of enhancement options would this new Skill offer?

Please select an Evolutionary Direction—

Evolutionary Path 1: Magic Resistance I: The Skill [Unyielding Body] will also reduce Magic damage by 10%.

Evolutionary Path 2: Unyielding Will I: The Skill [Unyielding Body] provides an additional 20% tenacity, reducing the effects of crowd control.

They’re so powerful!

Lin Mo’s eyes lit up. Both Evolutionary Paths were extremely useful.

The first Evolutionary Path would grant him 10% Magic damage reduction. While the number wasn’t high, the difference between having some damage reduction and none at all was huge. After all, the actual damage taken wasn’t just affected by this one stat. It was also influenced by the Defense Class Skills Lin Mo used, the defensive power from his Constitution, and the protection from his equipment.

The damage reduction effect would, in turn, enhance all these other defensive measures.

It was like boosting all of those defenses by 10%, making the actual effect quite dramatic.

After reviewing the Skill, there was still the reward to consider. Leveling [Resilience] to max and obtaining [Unyielding Body] had granted him a total of 10 basic Constitution attribute points, which was just enough for Lin Mo’s Knight Profession to increase by one level.
