Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot - Chapter 1680: 708 Talent Ability

Chapter 1680: Chapter 708 Talent Ability

Among the various things that Wang Tao exchanged points for, one was the [Virus Immunity] constitution. This constitution allows Wang Tao to be immune to many viruses, including the zombie virus!

[Virus Immunity: Able to be immune to the vast majority of viruses, including the zombie virus]

In today’s apocalyptic world, the greatest threat is undoubtedly the zombie virus!

When faced with other threats, there is always a slim chance of survival, but if infected with the zombie virus, whether a strong person or an ordinary person, the result is the same—death! At most, it’s a matter of early versus late death.

Although Qu Shilin eventually created the zombie virus serum, that was two years later. Even though this time, with Wang Tao’s intervention, the speed of developing the zombie virus serum might be accelerated, it certainly can’t be produced in the early days of the apocalypse.

Even with Wang Tao returning to the past with his memories, the zombie virus still posed a significant threat to him. Therefore, he intentionally chose a [Virus Immunity] constitution, with which he could completely ignore the zombie virus!

Moreover, it can also make him immune to most other viruses, significantly enhancing Wang Tao’s survival capability in the apocalyptic world!

Of course, aside from the virus, zombies themselves also have considerable attack power, so he still has to avoid them when necessary.

After activating the [Virus Immunity] constitution, Wang Tao then looked at the last few “talents” that were not yet activated.

Talents are neither abilities, awakenings, nor domains; they are a type of lifelong growth-oriented ability. In the early stages, they may not be strong, perhaps just on par with an ability, but as Wang Tao’s strength grows, the talents will become increasingly powerful! Moreover, unlike abilities that require fusion with crystal cores to enhance, talents become stronger as long as Wang Tao’s level increases.

Besides “Unique” which is a one-of-a-kind bonus, “talents” are the best choice, stronger than “tools” or “constitutions.” That’s why Wang Tao exchanged the most for talents, as many as five!

[Heat Energy Beam (Growth): Shoots high-temperature rays from both eyes]

[Frozen Breath (Growth): Breathes out low-temperature gas]

[Steel Body (Growth): Tough body, ample physical strength, strong willpower]

[Super Perception (Growth): Greatly enhances perception ability]

[Sky-controlling Flight (Growth): Controls biological force fields for flight]

These five talent abilities were chosen by Wang Tao from among hundreds of randomly appearing options, selecting what he considered to be the strongest five.

However, since they are mature abilities, and Wang Tao isn’t even considered Level 1 yet, their effects might not be as powerful as described. But in the middle to later stages, they may surpass even awakening or domain!

Wang Tao tried each one in turn.

This [Heat Energy Beam] talent seems somewhat similar to Wang Tao’s previous ability, [Scorching Eye], both shooting two high-temperature rays from the eyes. But in reality, they are completely different.

[Scorching Eye] is an ability that can only be learned by Fire Awakened individuals above Level 4. Its power is related to the level of the ability, consuming mana and awakening energy when used. Although its power can be adjusted, the range of adjustment is limited. Generally, Wang Tao only used it for killing.

The [Heat Vision] talent is different; it doesn’t require being a Level 4 Fire Awakened; Wang Tao can use it now. It doesn’t consume mana or awakening energy, only Wang Tao’s physical strength, with a low threshold. Its power can be freely adjusted; when the power is great, it consumes more physical strength and can instantly kill a strong enemy; when the power is small, it consumes little physical strength and can be used to heat milk, like a surgical knife… This talent can be useful for both combat and daily life!

The effect of [Frozen Breath] is just like its literal meaning, allowing Wang Tao to breathe out low-temperature gas, somewhat similar to Ice Power. Theoretically, this low-temperature gas can approach absolute zero, with extremely strong power. But with Wang Tao’s current strength, it’s clearly not attainable; at most, he can temporarily freeze people, slow them down, etc.

To unleash the greatest power of either the [Heat Energy Beam] or [Frozen Breath], a lot of physical strength will be consumed. For others, a few uses might lead to exhaustion, but Wang Tao won’t, because he has [Steel Body].

[Steel Body] enhances his strength, defense, stamina, speed, physical fitness… even his mental willpower, in all aspects!

This [Steel Body] talent serves as a foundation like a building’s cornerstone. With [Steel Body], Wang Tao’s groundwork becomes very solid, leaving little to worry about in terms of instability. In the later stages, once his strength significantly increases, he might even be able to defeat Domain Users with a single punch!

[Super Perception] is a talent that can greatly enhance all kinds of perception abilities for oneself. It can make Wang Tao’s hearing, sight, smell, and even spiritual power detection stronger! Not the slightest movement can escape Wang Tao’s perception!

Wang Tao had previously acquired some perception-related abilities, but those abilities all had various limitations. For example, the [Perception] ability could only detect living things and not specific environments; the [Mental Development] awakening had a good perception effect, like having a God’s perspective, but the range was too small. Even when Wang Tao had reached the Seventh Level, the perception range was not large. Often, Wang Tao still had to rely on vision and hearing to discern situations.
