Based on your Fatal Talent, your Psionic Energy obtained a bonus property called Destroy.

“Psionic Energy property?”

Feng Luo was stunned again.

Psionic Energy was technically a type of mental power, so could it have properties?

However, if one were to base it on the settings of the game Star Wars, the Force should technically not have properties as well. It should be a type of pure energy force that Jedi warriors manipulate.

On this planet right now, though, he had not met a single Jedi warrior yet. The Force was a common trait among the advanced NPCs as well as an advanced strength that all players could possess in the future!

However, the two types of power that emerged in War were similar to the ones within the story of Resident Evil: Biohazard Crisis and had considerable adjustments made to them.

Destroy is a Beginner Level Psionic Energy Bonus Property.

Attacks with Psionic Energy infused in them will possess extra destructive strength. Also, additional Psionic Energy damage will be dealt during attacks without consuming any Psionic Energy points!

Feng Luo extended his finger to click on the button to read an introduction about the Destroy property.

He was not able to gather very detailed information from the brief description. Furthermore, without any opportunities to experiment, he still was not sure about the effects of Psionic Energy.

However, since this so-called Psionic Energy was a power that should be on the same level as the Force, the effects of the Psionic Energy bonus property should not be any weaker than his self-healing Force, right? Especially since extra destructive strength and additional damage were available with Psionic Energy infused attacks.

Compared to the self-healing Force that recovered his stamina, healed his HP, and treated his injuries, the Psionic Energy bonus property functioned in an opposite way. The self-healing Force served as a defense, while the Destroy property enhanced his attacks.

According to the system’s notification, the Destroy property appeared because of his Fatal Talent!

Fatal Talent? He wondered if this meant that his Fatal Talent had been modified.

Feng Luo’s eyes narrowed. Then, he quickly shifted his gaze back to the system log interface.

Since you’ve awakened the Psionic Energy, you Fatal Talent has been adjusted!

“Just as I thought!” Feng Luo’s eyes sparkled.

His mood, which had been a bit down due to 24K’s condition, had finally become slightly filled with excitement again!

The Fatal Talent could be regarded as Feng Luo’s greatest asset in the game.

So, just what has changed in this latest adjustment?

He hoped that the adjustment had not weakened his Fatal Talent or reduced bonus damage!

Feng Luo was feeling very anxious at that moment. As such, without waiting much longer, he clicked and entered his talent interface.

Fatal Talent: Fatal Damage is increased by 100%! When in combat with humanoid units, if their defense has been completely damaged and if the damage from an attack that hits a vital spot exceeds half of the target’s current HP, the Instant Death effect will be inflicted upon them. When in combat with non-human units above the Commander Grade, Instant Death is ineffective. When the defense of the target unit has been completely damaged and when an attack hits a vital spot, the attack will deal extra damage based on the HP percentage of the target unit.

The brightness in Feng Luo’s eyes intensified as he stared straight at the words!

“The Instant Death effect!”

Even Feng Luo’s breathing became faster. However, he felt a bit odd.

In the Galactic civilization, the word “Fatal” and “Instant Death” 1 had a very slight difference.

Even though the name of his talent was Fatal, the truth was that if the gap between his target and his equipment grade was not too wide, or perhaps during the time before he awakened the Force, it was almost impossible for Feng Luo to truly achieve a one-shot kill!

However, right now, his Fatal Talent had the Instant Death effect, an effect that was technically one of the strongest combat attributes one could hope for!

The effect, however, had its own limitations. The Instant Death effect would only work on humanoid units. Furthermore, the defense of the unit needed to be shattered, and the damage dealt needed to exceed half of the target’s current HP.

This meant that the attack needed to have an intense destructive power as well as high enough damage.

This might be difficult for other professions to achieve, but for a Sniper, it was actually not all that difficult! It was especially not difficult for Feng Luo when considering his current level, stats, and equipment.

Since he possessed the Wings of Death, which had a destructive attack power, and the advanced high-end special ammunition for it, Feng Luo was quite capable. Apart from Heavy Armor Warriors and those with high-level Legendary Grade defensive items in this current stage, it was almost certain that Feng Luo would be able to completely break through the defense of any other target in one shot.

Even though Heavy Armor Warriors, and those with Legendary Grade defensive gears, might be able to deflect a shot from the Wings of Death, it should always be remembered that the Wings of Death was only a Rare Grade weapon. Apart from Heavy Armor Warriors, anyone who could deflect an attack from the weapon would have their equipment to thank.

Feng Luo still had the Death Gaze, a Legendary sniper rifle, in his possession. However, the weapon was incomplete because it was missing parts. He needed to get to Level 60 before he could collect all five parts of the weapon.

Thankfully, with his current rate of leveling up, it would not take much longer for him to reach Level 60.

Moreover, he did not have to wait until he reached Level 60 to complete the Legendary Grade sniper rifle if he really did not want to.

He had earned credits by auctioning off the Boss Grade pet biochips and now had enough to purchase the Legendary Grade item production equipment. Would it even be possible for Old John, a Master Level Gun Mechanic, not to know how to create a Legendary Grade sniper rifle?!

Feng Luo remembered one more thing.

“Oh, that’s right, there’s also this new Psionic Energy property!”

His Psionic Energy’s property was Destroy. Although he had not yet tested it before, from the name and the description, one could easily suggest that it was related to the increase of one’s attack and destructive power.

The existence of the Psionic Energy property created the possibility of Feng Luo being able to take down a Heavy Armor Warrior player with a one-shot kill. At that point, it would not even matter if the warrior was fully equipped in Legendary Grade gears.

“But the Psionic Energy is not able to activate the skills of Legendary Grade items like the Force. Therefore, it’s not as good as a second Force!”

Feng Luo felt a little bit disappointed.

He initially thought that his Fatal Talent would awaken a second type of attack-oriented Force power in the future. After all, he always felt that the double-talent situation was a hint to something.

Even though Haruko once said that awakening the second Force was a lot more complicated than awakening the first one, Feng Luo was still hopeful.

However, he did not awaken the second Force but the Psionic Energy instead!

Moreover, from the looks of things, the awakening of the Psionic Energy had “overdrawn” his Fatal Talent!

In this case, was there still a chance to awaken the Force?

Feng Luo was not sure.

However, he had a feeling that the possibility of that happening was now very low.

Furthermore, even though the adjustments made had strengthened the Fatal Talent, parts of it had also been weakened.

For example, the 50% extra damage on Weak Point Damage was no longer there.

Therefore, in the future, he would have to utilize Fatal Damage if he wanted to deal a high level of damage to his targets. This also meant that the need for accuracy during battles had substantially increased. Any other player might not have considered these changes as a boost in strength!

However, the negative effect of his talent, the “Normal Damage deals only 75% damage during an attack” clause, was no longer there. So, there was still a kind of balance in his attributes and abilities.

Regarding the point about the Instant Death effect not applying to Commander Grade and above units, the impact of this effect was not all that great because the Commander Grade units had far too much HP. Especially the Boss Grade units. By the time he could deal more than half of the unit’s current HP some damage with one shot, the Boss unit’s HP would most definitely be below 5% already.

In that case, it would be quite meaningless.

It would have been far more useful if the extra damage was based on a certain percentage of the target’s HP when dealing with Boss Grade monsters that had ridiculously high HP!

Of course, he would have to wait and see the actual impact of the effect by testing it out in combat!

Feng Luo continued to scroll and read.

Since you are the first to awaken the Psionic Energy, you have received a Psionic Energy Skill called Psionic Flame!

The Psionic Flame skill can attach Psionic Flames onto the surface of any object. The Psionic Energy consumption rate will depend on the surface area and object that you are attaching the flames to. It will also depend on the time of the attachment. Psionic Energy can be in two states during the use of the Psionic Flame skill, which is the Activated and Normal state!

Feng Luo looked shocked once more, but then he suddenly remembered something.

The Zerg species are an alien species on this planet, and the advanced NPCs and the high-level monsters on the planet would most definitely not have Psionic Energy. Then, would monsters drop gears that needed Psionic Energy or items along the line of “Psionic Energy Integration Chips?”

Feng Luo had tested the Psionic Energy a little bit just before he found out he had the skill. After testing it, he found that the Psionic Energy could not be used on his body like the Force.

So, this brought about a serious problem.

He felt like awakening Psionic Energy was, in fact, a useless skill.

The stats and numbers looked good, but in reality, they had no practical use.

The good thing was that the system gave him a Psionic Energy skill, which was the reward for being the first to awaken Psionic Energy!

Although the rewards given by the system for being the first for most things had never been amazing, the skill, according to the description, reminded Feng Luo of the flame that was ignited by the Psionic Energy of the Zerg Overmind that he witnessed inside the “Mental Space.”

He felt that it could have potential!

Endnote:

1 The words in Chinese are Zhi Ming (translated as Fatal) and Zhi Si (translated as instant death). The difference in Chinese is only a single word, but the meaning is mostly the same. “Ming” means life, while the “Si” means death. So, the first one could be argued to mean that something was critically affecting, and potentially ending, one’s life. The second one focuses on causing death.
