Chapter 422: New Shadow Skill, Five Shadow Devils
Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem
Li Yunmu was on the fringe of crossing one of the thresholds and could be considered to be half a step into the great flux master realm.
But the number of flux points opened by him still remained at the original seventy-two.
It wasn't that he didn't want to open them as quickly as possible, but that after getting trapped on this island, he could only wait until the system upgraded before settling that problem.
But it was also good for him. In the past half a year, his strength had increased too quickly, to the extent that his cultivation had become slightly unstable. Thus, he used the rare opportunity when he didn't have anything to do to consolidate his cultivation base while practicing Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Technique.
Like that, the last month gradually passed with Li Yunmu consolidating his realm. Without him knowing, three months had went by.
At the dawn of the ninety-first day, the system didn't take even one second more to upgrade than it had stated. At dawn, Li Yunmu finally heard its familiar voice after a long time.
[Congratulations, host. The system has upgraded to the sixth level.The system's development path can be chosen from now on, so requesting host to choose the new ability…]
Three successive notifications rang out in the ears of Li Yunmu, who was really excited upon hearing them. He quickly entered his consciousness sea, but his first action wasn't to choose the new ability.
Instead, he asked the system, "System, what special conditions need to be fulfilled for evolution to the seventh level?"
[You lack the qualifications to learn that so the system cannot reveal it. But you may know that it has something to do with shadows.]
As expected, the system didn't reveal the special condition once again. Because of that, Li Yunmu could only fumble around and make speculations.
"Alright, then allow me to see what abilities can you gain at level six."
Li Yunmu wasn't disheartened. He immediately moved to the next topic and began to scan the available abilities.
Since the system had upgraded to the sixth level, it could be considered as comparatively high level. It had three abilities from which Li Yunmu could choose.
First, the system would provide a new shadow skill which would further increase the efficiency of shadow hack. That shadow skill was called Shadow Devil.
Li Yunmu looked through it a number of times before understanding that this ability was quite formidable.
If the shadows learned that shadow skill, they could absorb a certain amount of experience points from the monsters killed and use them to condense a shadow devil.

There were five kinds of shadow devils. First was based on vitality and formed by blood. It possessed vitality which was even more formidable than that of the ape gods. As long as the shadow devil wasn't killed in one shot, it wouldn't be defeated.
As long as it existed, the injuries received by the shadows would be absorbed by the shadow devil, which would leave the shadows free of any injury.
This first type of shadow devil was called blood shadow devil. Its main ability was to receive damage intended for the shadows, so its combat ability was extremely weak. In short, it was a shield of blood which couldn't damage the opponent.
It could increase the survival rate of shadows while hacking, but it wouldn't increase their efficiency . But even then, it could still be considered an extraordinary ability.
The second type of shadow devil was called shield shadow devil.
As the name implied, it was a shadow devil which would be used for defense and act as a meat shield. But it was different from blood shadow devil in that it didn't have a formidable vitality. However, its defenses were extremely terrifying because they were established with the shadows as basis.
The shield shadow devil had an extra layer of shield. Its power was similar to that o Admiralty Cover and would reduce the damage by roughly 20%, but shadows couldn't transfer the incoming damage to it. In other words, it could only act as a meat shield in front of shadows to attract the attention. However, when Li Yunmu read it, his eyes immediately began to shine.
As a matter of fact, the shield shadow devil wasn't very formidable. For someone with weak defenses, then even if the damage was reduced by 20%, it still wouldn't be of much help to them.
However for Li Yunmu who possessed extremely high defense, the addition of another 20% was even more important.
Li Yunmu quickly made calculation about what would happen if a shadow condensed this type of shadow devil and its shield would reduce the incoming damage by 20%.
However, after that the remaining damage would again be reduced 30% by Safeguard, which would be followed by Admiralty Cover which would reduce the rest of the damage by 60%. After that, the leftover damage would have to pass through king crystal armor, devil dragon bone armor, great sun thunder tyrant body muscle marrow secrets and so on.
The more Li Yunmu thought about it, the more he saw that this sort of shadow devil was extremely suitable for him as well as the shadows which he condensed.
If the enemy's offense was a thousand attack points, the shield shadow devil would absorb 20%, which meant that only eight hundred attack points would remain. Then they would again be reduced by 30% by Safeguard which would leave five hundred and sixty attack points. These five hundred and sixty attack points would then be reduced by Admiralty Cover by 60%, which would mean that only the pitiful amount of two hundred and twenty four attacks points would reach Li Yunmu.
What did this mean?
No one could understand it more clearly than Li Yunmu. After three layers of damage reduction, he could probably even resist the attack of a mid stage great flux master.
But the shield shadow devil wasn't without its demerits. Its main defect was that it couldn't absorb the injuries of the host or die in his place like the blood shadow devil.
It could only be used to block attacks, and Li Yunmu was extremely unwilling to accept this fact. Without the flaw, it would have been close to his dream shadow devil.
The third shadow devil was called combat shadow devil. As the name implied, it efficiently assisted the shadows in combat to kill monsters.
It possessed defense and vitality identical to shadows, but its offense was 20% more formidable. In other words, if a combat shadow devil was created, it would be more formidable than a normal shadow. But it also had its defects—it couldn't die in place of its host and could only be used for killing.
