After resting for about ten minutes, Chu Huan and Wang Qiang, along with the others, rose to their feet and made their way towards the entrance of the Beast Realm.
According to Zhou Qichuan, being inside this Beast Realm suppressed one's soul power, making one feel a bit constrained.
Upon returning to Linhai City, Wang Qiang first dropped Chu Huan off at Chu Huan's place. After agreeing on a time with the others, he drove off with a joyful expression on his face.
After tossing his sweaty, dirty clothes into the washing machine and taking a shower, Chu Huan walked into the living room.
After resting for a few minutes, Chu Huan directed his gaze towards his attribute panel.
During their previous foray into the Beast Realm, Chu Huan had absorbed the beast crystals from the slain wolves.
This had boosted Chu Huan's soul power to "1374".
Idle now, Chu Huan couldn't help but ponder over his current soul power.
For Chu Huan, the benefits derived from the Chilling Wolves were now too low. His next target could only be the Bloodthirsty Dwarfs, which were of a higher level, reaching 3-Star.
So, to maximize the effectiveness of these system points, Chu Huan had intended to use them to enhance his physical attributes.
During the evening dinner gathering, Wang Qiang would give him his reward.
Ten Black Iron 1-Star beast crystals, equivalent to 1000 system points.
Naturally, Chu Huan couldn't help but feel stirred up, thinking about the erhu in his body that was currently inactive.
"I'm not short of money right now. If the skill of the erhu isn't good, I can always spend more money to buy some Black Iron 1-Star beast crystals", he thought.
Immediately, Chu Huan silently muttered to himself, "System, unlock the skill of the erhu for me."
"Confirmation selected. Do you wish to spend 1000 system points to unlock the skill of the erhu?"
"Confirm!"
As soon as the thought was conveyed, Chu Huan's system points sharply decreased by 1000.
Chu Huan felt a pang in his heart.
At the same time the system points were deducted, Chu Huan perceived that the erhu, which had been quietly resting in his right ventricle for the past few days, suddenly vibrated.
The next second, a special wave emanated from the erhu in Chu Huan's right ventricle.
"Congratulations, the host has successfully unlocked the skill of the erhu—Nameless Melody."
A few seconds later, with the system's prompt echoing in his mind, Chu Huan's system panel displayed corresponding changes.
"Host: Chu Huan"
"HP: 280/280"
"Level: 1-Star Awakener Apprentice—Soul Power Needed for Upgrade: 307/400"
"Artifact Souls: erhu, suona"
"Constitution: 2.8 (Base Standard is 1)—(+)"
"Strength: 3.2 (Base Standard is 1)—(+)"
"Agility: 10 (Base Standard is 1)—(+)"
"Mental Strength: 2.32 (Base Standard is 1)—(+)"
"Artifact Soul Skills: suona—The March of the Coffin Bearers (Level 1), System Points Needed for Upgrade: 0/1000; erhu—Nameless Melody (Level 1), System Points Needed for Upgrade: 0/1000"
"Auxiliary Skill: Basic Soul Power Technique"
"Current System Points: 374"
Looking at the unlocked Artifact Soul skill on the system panel, Chu Huan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"It's still a melody!"
After mentally groaning, Chu Huan quickly tapped on the skill.
As Chu Huan operated, the introduction to the Nameless Melody skill popped up.
"Nameless Melody: Effect 1: When the host's HP is full, playing this melody can cause 1 to 10 damage points per second to targets within a 30 feet radius.
Effect 2: When the host's HP is below 90% of its maximum, this can be activated to increase the agility attribute of targets within a 30 feet radius by 100% (lasting for ten minutes).
Note: The effectiveness of this skill is affected by the host's soul power consumption and HP."
Looking at this new Artifact Soul skill, Chu Huan's first thought was, "Hmm? A dual-effect Artifact Soul skill?"
Awakener's Artifact Souls are varied and strange.
Most Artifact Soul skills of awakeners are unilateral in effect.
But a small portion of awakeners possess Artifact Souls with two abilities.
Chu Huan didn't expect his new Artifact Soul skill to be a rare dual-effect one.
"Seems like a good start!" Chu Huan's lips curled up as he began to carefully read the introduction to his Artifact Soul skill.
After reading it for the first time, Chu Huan was suddenly startled and couldn't help but shout "Awesome!" in his heart.
But after reading it again, Chu Huan felt a bit confused.
After repeatedly reading it nearly ten times and confirming that his literacy level was sufficient to understand the introduction, Chu Huan's lips widened into a grin.
Effect 1 was self-explanatory. Being able to cause 1 to 10 damage points per second meant 60 to 600 damage points per minute, which was stronger than the damage effect of Chu Huan's first suona skill.
As for Effect 2, it was undoubtedly powerful.
What was the concept of directly boosting agility by 100%?
It was doubled.
With this buff, even an awakener at the level of a 5-star or 6-star Awakener Apprentice could rival a Black Iron 1-Star awakener in agility.
And this was just the first level.
Once the subsequent levels were upgraded, what would the effects be?
If his strength increased in the future, Chu Huan's speed would soar after playing the melody, allowing him to roam freely!
But the problem was that the prerequisite for activating Effect 2 was his HP, with lower HP resulting in higher damage when playing the Erhu.
Was this encouraging him to get hurt more to roam more freely?
"Wait, Nameless Melody? Nameless?"
At this moment, Chu Huan's mind inexplicably flashed back to a legendary and formidable figure.
That figure was renowned for playing the Erhu with full HP and roaming with low HP.
Initially, Chu Huan hadn't associated the name of the melody with that figure.
But after understanding the effects of his Artifact Soul skill, Chu Huan wouldn't believe that the melody had no connection with that figure.
At this moment, Chu Huan felt that his mood was somewhat complex.
