I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1303

Chapter 1303: Chapter 1305: Satisfaction Chapter 1303: Chapter 1305: Satisfaction “Why do I also need to consume skill points?” Song Jian froze in place. After a skill point disappeared, the Experience Points of the Insight Skill once again surged rapidly, this time the speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it rose another level.

Thirteen, fourteen, …

As it approached level fifteen, the increasing speed once again slowed down, and Song Jian's face immediately fell. Just as expected, another skill point vanished, and the speed of increase picked up once again.

One must know that although Song Jian didn't master many skills, due to proficiency, he had saved quite a few skill points. However, there would always come a time when the proficiency of these skills reached their maximum values, and as the levels became increasingly difficult to raise, the skill points correspondingly became more precious.

Originally supposed to be a cost-free upgrade, now it was clear that Song Jian's sacrifice had grown larger.

Soon, the hard-earned seven skill points were completely consumed, and the Insight Skill correspondingly rose to level twenty-one, reaching the maximum level.

For a moment, Song Jian suddenly felt that within a radius of one hundred meters, he could perceive everything at heart, as if with his eyes closed, everything around him was also reflected in his mind, as though he had gained an additional pair of eyes, observing everything around him with a god-like perspective.

In the midst of it all, Song Jian seemed to hear a soft sigh, but quickly, the feeling of perceiving everything vanished, and Song Jian opened his eyes. Sure enough, in the skill column, the Eye of Insight skill had disappeared, replaced by a fiery light that appeared in the center of his forehead.

The space between his eyebrows grew hotter and hotter, as if an infinite amount of energy was pouring into it without end.

Crack, crack~
Song Jian could feel that the Vertical Eye between his eyebrows could no longer withstand such a terrifying amount of energy, and began to shatter bit by bit. Song Jian could even see the dense, fine cracks on the surface of the Vertical Eye, the entire Eye looking as if it was made of thousands of fragments, forcibly cemented together by external forces.

Boom~
A terrifying aura suddenly spread throughout the Dragon God Altar, and several members of the Dragon Clan knelt on their knees, bowing their noble heads and reciting Draconic praise poems.

This strong aura that permeated the altar lasted only a brief period before it all rushed towards the center of Song Jian's forehead. This time, what Song Jian felt wasn't heat but pain, an excruciating pain that spread throughout his body from his forehead, as if a red-hot iron rod had been ruthlessly stabbed into his head from his forehead.

“Ah~”
The sudden, acute pain made Song Jian scream involuntarily, wanting to cover his forehead with his hands, but in an instant, he lost control of his entire body, and like a puppet, he was lifted off the ground, slowly floating upwards.

At this moment, Song Jian was floating in the air, his body arching backward, with only his head stretching forward as a splendid purple and gold pillar of light burst forth from his forehead.

The pain quickly spread from the forehead to the entire body. This kind of pain was something Song Jian had never experienced before. He wanted to pass out, but as time went on, his consciousness became clearer and clearer. Song Jian could even feel the sensation of pain transmitted by every muscle and bone, which made him feel as if he had plunged into purgatory.

Amidst the pain, Song Jian had lost his sense of time. Not knowing how long had passed, Song Jian felt his body sink, and he fell heavily towards the Dragon God Altar.

Fortunately, Song Jian had not flown up too high, reaching at most two or three meters off the ground. Although he was completely unconscious, he didn't fall too heavily.

Lying on the Dragon God Altar, Song Jian had no strength at all, his body ached all over, but this pain, compared to before, had eased a lot. It was as if he had worked hard all day and woke up early the next morning with his muscles feeling a bit strained.

The few Dragon Clan priests who looked at Song Jian lying on the altar were also at a loss. They normally did not have the privilege to ascend the altar and could only wait below for Song Jian to awaken on his own.

After a good while, Song Jian finally regained consciousness. He fumbled in his inventory for a bottle of stamina restoration potion, poured it into his mouth, and after resting on the altar for a bit longer, he rolled over and stood up.

“Eh?”

It was then that Song Jian noticed his body felt unusually light. A simple rollover had launched him two to three meters into the air, as if gravity's hold on him had suddenly lessened significantly.

Surprised and pleased, Song Jian quickly checked his attributes, and sure enough, his physical qualities had improved a lot. Nearly every attribute had increased by twenty to thirty points, amounting to a boost of more than a hundred attribute points in total – an unexpected windfall indeed.

At the same time, the Vertical Eye on his forehead felt like a ball of energy, even though it looked unchanged from the outside. Song Jian could feel a continuous supply of energy flowing throughout every corner of his body. This energy seemed to be improving his physical attributes, slowly but steadily.

The Vertical Eye on his forehead seemed to have fully integrated with his body, no longer an external piece of equipment. Yet, it was apparent that the eye was still brewing and had not completely evolved into the Breaking Illusion Divine Eye, with about twelve hours remaining for the evolution.

Although he was rather impatient to experience the effects of the Breaking Illusion Divine Eye, Song Jian figured he could wait for twelve hours.

As he walked down from the Dragon God Altar, Song Jian suddenly noticed that the priests of the Dragon Clan were treating him with a newfound reverence. Previously, their attitude was friendly, as they would treat any other clan member, but now, they were utterly respectful, standing beside him with their heads bowed and hands folded at their bellies without any unnecessary movement.

“Gentlemen, what is this…?” asked Song Jian, somewhat puzzled.

“My lord, you have now received the approval of the Dragon God. You could be called the spokesperson of the Dragon God in this world, and being referred to as the Godly Child would not be an exaggeration. Revering and serving you is our obligation,” explained the elderly Dragon Clan priest Gel respectfully.

Song Jian was taken aback, “Wow, they even use the word 'serve.' It seems the Dragon God's Blessing I received is of the highest level, isn't it?”

What Song Jian didn't know was that the Breaking Illusion Divine Eye contained a hint of the Dragon God's essence, which was immensely intimidating for the Dragon Clan. The priests, who served in the Dragon God Hall year-round, were extremely familiar with the essence of the Dragon God. They did not understand why the Dragon God had granted Song Jian a trace of its essence, but since it was the Dragon God's decision, they were completely obedient to it.

Now, in their eyes, Song Jian had become equivalent to the spokesperson of the Dragon God in this world. This status was much more exalted than that of a regular Godly Child or Holy Maiden.

From the priests' attitudes towards him, Song Jian could guess that, although he had paid a significant price for choosing the third option, it could also be said that he made a fortune. The first two options would have granted him a trace of the Dragon Bloodline at most, but the third option gave him a hint of the Dragon God's essence. The difference between them was indeed like heaven and earth.

Thinking of this, a smile crept onto Song Jian's lips as he felt even more satisfied with his choice.
