Lu Yuan pointed at the skill called Shadow Following on the screen and looked at Andre.

There were more than ten legendary skills on the screen, and each of them could be said to be very powerful. However, Lu Yuan chose Shadow Following after careful consideration. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

Shadow Following, being the advanced skill for Stealth, could only be learned when an NPC advanced into the Extraordinary tier.

The fact that one’s attack could not be seen while one was in the Stealth state was enough to show how powerful this skill was.

Even though this skill could only last for 30 seconds, in the Apocalypse, 30 seconds was enough to do many things.

The most important thing was that he could complete a mission that seemed impossible in his previous life with this skill.

“As you wish.” Andre nodded and reached out to stroke Lu Yuan’s head. He looked like a deity helping him to grow.

[NPC Andre is teaching you the legendary skill Shadow Following.]

[Teaching...]

[Teaching...]

As the system notification sounded, Lu Yuan felt a little dazed. It was as if his entire being had been sublimated.

[The teaching is complete. Congratulations to the player for mastering the legendary skill Shadow Following.]

[As the first player in all the servers to master a legendary skill, the system will announce the news in all the servers. Does the player wish to hide his name?] f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

“No.” Lu Yuan’s lips curled up. Since he had been reborn, how could he be a coward? When the game world invaded in the future, the humans on Earth would need a commander, a commander with both fame and strength.

Not only was Lu Yuan not afraid of becoming famous, on the contrary, he yearned to become famous.

The system announcement was only the first step.

[Congratulations to player Lu Yuan for obtaining a legendary thief skill. As the first player in the entire server to obtain a legendary skill, player Lu Yuan has obtained 1 legend point and 10 reputation points.]

Three consecutive system announcements resounded through the sky and entered the ears of all the players in the Apocalypse.

...

“Damn, who is Lu Yuan? He’s so awesome. Even though I don’t know what level a legendary skill is at, but even the system announced it. He must be very strong.”

“From his name, he sounds like a Chinese. I have to say that China is forever the best.”

“I know Lu Yuan. He and I are university classmates. We are best friends. If you want to know more about Lu Yuan, you can add me as a friend. Let’s chat privately.”

...

As the server chat system started to blow up from the system announcement, countless players started to discuss Lu Yuan’s identity. There were even many players who pretended to be Lu Yuan’s family and friends.

However, what everyone was most concerned about was the details of the legendary skill mentioned in the announcement.

...

In the training area of No. 46734 novice village of the Autumn Maple Plain, a man with a bow and arrow in his hand killed the desert spider in front of him with one arrow. Then, he stopped his actions.

“Lu Yuan? Interesting. He’s quite ostentatious,” The man muttered to himself.

...

“Legendary skill? Get in touch with Lu Yuan. No matter the price, we must get him to join our guild.”

...

Outside the novice village, Lu Yuan bade farewell to Andre and left the village.

He had already obtained the legendary skill. The next step was to level up.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yuan opened his attribution panel.

[Name]: Lu Yuan

[Race]: Human

[Racial Talent]: Wisdom Heart (no level)

[Professional Talent]: None

[Legend Points]: 1 (legend points are obtained when a player has done a legendary event in the World of Apocalypse. Some hidden missions and events have a basic requirement for legend points)

[Reputation Points]: 10 (player’s fame in the World of Apocalypse)

[Evaluation]: As someone with the liberal profession, you do not have any professional skills, nor do you have any outstanding tendencies. Your attributes are very average. The only advantage you have is that you are a little handsome. I suggest that you go to the city for a walk. Perhaps some noble ladies will like you...

The EXP obtained from completing Andre’s hidden mission increased Lu Yuan’s level by 5 levels, and his five main attributes each increased by 1 point.

In the World of Apocalypse, every time a first-tier professional leveled up, they would receive 1 free attribute point. Lu Yuan did not choose to add the points to his attributes and instead turned his gaze to the Shadow Following skill and his character talent.

“According to the description of my talent, I can level up my skills twice a day, and I can break through the level limit of the skills. If I use it on the Shadow Following skill, would it work?” Lu Yuan fell into deep thought.

Thinking about it, Lu Yuan did not hesitate.

He looked at the Shadow Following skill and thought to himself, “Use the talent skill, skill effect target, Shadow Following.”

[Detected that the Shadow Following skill cannot be leveled up... Talent skill can break through the level limit of skills... Successful breakthrough... Shadow Following level +1.] The system’s intermittent notification sounded.

F*ck, it really works... Lu Yuan’s eyes lit up as he quickly opened the skill description. He wanted to see the changes that had happened to the already powerful legendary skill after it was forcefully upgraded by his talent.

[Legendary Skill]: Shadow Following +1

[Description]: Active skill, an extremely rare Divine skill among legendary thieves. Consumes 100 MP to enter Shadow State where attacks can be launched without being discovered. Under Shadow State, the player obtains 27% damage immunity. Lasts for 1 minute, cooldown time: 28 minutes. (Note: cannot be upgraded)

The MP cost was doubled, but the damage immunity effect and duration were both increased. Even the cooldown time was reduced by a portion.

Although it was not much, one had to know that Lu Yuan could forcefully level up two levels every day. Over time, this skill would be strengthened to an unknown extent.

Without hesitation, Lu Yuan used the last upgrade quota of today on Shadow Following.

[Legendary Skill]: Shadow Following +2

[Description]: Active skill, an extremely rare Divine skill among legendary thieves. Consumes 150 MP to enter Shadow State where attacks can be launched without being discovered. Under Shadow State, the player obtains 30% damage immunity. Lasts for 2 minutes, cooldown time: 25 minutes. (Note: cannot be upgraded)

“I’m invincible now. Maybe I can try going to the high-level training areas to level up.” Lu Yuan could not help but sigh in amazement as he closed his attribution panel.

The Shadow Following skill that had been leveled up twice in a row was too powerful. The two-minute duration was enough for him to do anything.

After obtaining the legendary skill, Lu Yuan walked with a spring in his step. Soon, he arrived at a mine.

There were many mines near the novice village, and the one before him was one of them.

Many earth magic demons that ranged between levels 8-10 were wandering in the mines. Earth magic demons were special creatures of the World of Apocalypse, they were evolved from corrupt human mages.

They had bodies that were slightly stronger than ordinary mages, but compared to other creatures of the same level, their bodies were still very weak.

The only thing worth mentioning was their spells, which had astonishing destructive power.

To other players, facing such a creature with high attack and low HP was a headache. This was because they were instantly killed the moment they saw it and they could not get close to it at all. Even if the earth magic demon’s body was weak, they could not do anything about it.

However, to Lu Yuan, who had the Shadow Following skill, this was simply a suitable place to train and level up.

Before entering the mine, Lu Yuan saw a few earth magic demons wandering at the entrance. He immediately activated the Shadow Following skill.

His entire body seemed to turn into a black shadow, blending into the darkness and finally turning into nothingness.

Under the Shadow State, Lu Yuan held the novice dagger that the system gave him and walked step by step towards one of the earth magic demons.

After the earth magic demon entered his attack range, Lu Yuan held the dagger in his hand and stabbed towards the back of the earth magic demon.

[-11!]

A blood-red damage point floated out from the earth magic demon’s body, and at the same time, information about the earth magic demon appeared.

[Earth Magic Demon]

[Level]: 8

[HP]: 500

[Skills]: Unknown

[Description]: As a weak mage’s apprentice, when he came into contact with the Abyss’ whispers, he was filled with desire, unwillingness, and ambition, causing him to willingly corrupt and fall into the abyss.

The NPCs of the World of Apocalypse did not have specific stats, their strength and weakness depended on one’s own level and the skills they had.

Because Lu Yuan had not learned any investigative skills, he could only see the most basic information.

With a wave of his hand, the dagger slashed down!

Lu Yuan did not hesitate, Shadow Following only had a duration of two minutes. He had not learned any attack skills, so he could only slash dagger by dagger at the earth magic demon’s body.

There was a saying of weakness attack in the World of Apocalypse.. Lu Yuan was in Stealth, so he could slowly adjust his position to ensure that every attack dealt weakness damage.
