Chapter 769: Xu Lang's First Mad Skill, Abnormally Increasing SAN Value

A night passed.

That night, Xu Lang only did two things.

Deep sleep and fusing Mad Skills.

Under the Nightmare Apostle's unremitting efforts, Nightmare Essence had accumulated some more, and Xu Lang freed up some fusion attempts.

He fused a suitable Mad Skill for Cao Yaxuan and the other women, one each.

And he also fused a Mad Skill for himself, Epic grade.

This one evolved from Blood Rampage as the main foundation, its effect was also a burst type, and the effect was incredibly monstrous.

【Mad·Prison Blood Demon God】

【Type: Active Skill】

【Level: 30】

【Rarity: Epic】

【Effect: SAN value -20 points, activates Blood Qi, unlocks genetic locks and 108 blood qi secret repositories throughout the body, Base Attributes gradually increase by 20~200%, duration 1 minute, no cooldown】

【Description: Blood Qi surges wildly, as if a demon has descended upon the world. This skill combines the wonders of genetics and martial arts, truly inconceivable!】

This skill was pure and powerful, and it was the top-tier "Mad Skill" type.

Mad Skills had one characteristic, and that was no cooldown time.

In other words, Mad·Prison Blood Demon God could be cast repeatedly, breaking through the 200% maximum amplification threshold. Although there was a diminishing marginal effect, it was still a stackable divine skill.

The Mad Skills in the Supermarket had already been snatched up completely, and this kind of Mad Skill that could boost attributes was the most popular, mainly because of this stackable characteristic.

"What a pity. This skill's main focus is still boosting Constitution. If only it could boost Comprehension and Intelligence among the Base Attributes."

"Then I'd have both super intelligence and super strength."

Xu Lang secretly lamented.

If Mad·Prison Blood Demon God were upgraded to the Mythical tier, perhaps it really would have this kind of effect.

The final battle of the True King Duel made him realize something very important: high-position Mysteries were not brainless brutes. On the contrary, their wisdom surpassed ordinary people.

Although Azazel was not human, Its Insight and Comprehension were all top-tier. It knew when to attack, when to break through its own limits, when to hold back, and when to deliver a fatal blow to its opponent.

At the same time, It could also learn, learning to dodge, counterattack, and find weaknesses from its own attack strategies.

Although Xu Lang had the "Transcendence to Sainthood" talent and prided himself on unmatched talent, compared to Azazel, he actually came up somewhat short.

He had won back then purely by the numbers!

If the Blood Mist World was full of monsters like that, then the Lord of Dawn's dream might be indefinitely far off.

Because of his concerns about losing control, Xu Lang had never gone to squeeze Azazel and the Evil King, leaving the two horrors imprisoned in the Dungeon all this time.

"Super intelligence tells me that to beat these monsters, I need to crush them in every aspect. Time to look at last night's harvest. Upgrading the Nightmare Bed sooner also means upgrading the Mystic Sovereign Meditation Art sooner, forming a comprehensive crush."

Xu Lang checked his information.

【Basic Nightmare Coins 1600, conversion rate 9231%, eight hours total output 149296 Nightmare Coins】

【Total Nightmare Coins: 2133576】

【Mystic Sovereign Meditation Art Harvest Summary: Constitution +40, Spirit +40, Mirror of Reflexes +1, Temporal Phase Shift +1, Lord of Life +1, Phantom Step +1, Blade Angel +1】

【Ghostly Deity Power Harvest Summary: Ghostly Deity Power +30】

【Attributes: Constitution 1360, Spirit 1360, Ghostly Deity Power 840】

Actually, up to this point, Xu Lang had already collected quite a few items that boosted Charm. It was just that he had used everything he should have used in the past two days, and the ones he hadn't used yet were purely because their certainty wasn't high enough.

For example, Banshee's Blood and Dark Essence Soul.

The former's origin was related to the Charm Blood Contract, while the latter could increase vampire bloodline purity. Both were extremely rare.

Xu Lang wanted to wait until after the Nightmare Bed was upgraded, then use Nightmare Coins to upgrade further.

Originally, he had wanted to hoard even more Charm-boosting items, but upon seeing the Mad King Building's major overhaul, he couldn't hold back anymore. So on the first night of the True King Duel, he had maxed out the BUFFs for all the women.

"Xu Lang, you're awake?" Kui Zi saw that Xu Lang was awake and reported, "Yesterday the mines produced ten million Copper Coins."

Xu Lang was surprised. "Recouped the investment in one day?"

"Mm! Recouped in one day!" Kui Zi nodded vigorously, delighted. "The Workers rotate in three shifts, and the copper mine is being excavated very quickly."

Xu Lang looked toward Ayiguli and found that she was still sleeping, so he didn't wake her.

Right now, the Mad King Building was at a stage where it lacked money.

"Seems you really weren't paying attention to the Mad King Building's movements last night," Kui Zi said.

"Sleeping well is what lets you develop well." Xu Lang greatly enjoyed the feeling of deep sleep.

He was getting more and more proficient at cultivating the Mystic Sovereign Meditation Art. Now he could already cultivate while sleeping.

He could construct a dream, put a clone cultivating the Mystic Sovereign Meditation Art inside, and just let the clone cultivate.

The weakness of the Mystic Sovereign Meditation Art was starting to become obvious. He could only cultivate eight hours a day. Otherwise, Xu Lang could cultivate around the clock.

This was also a common problem with most cultivation skills.

"Alright then." Kui Zi had no objections.

If Xu Lang weren't this kind of person, he wouldn't have delegated authority to them.

"How many people does Mad King Building have now?" As Xu Lang spoke, he had already opened the Acting Dorm Owner interface himself.

【Mad King Building Acting Dorm Owner·Xu Lang】

【Authority: Creation, SAN Value Peek】

【Mad King Building Dormitories: 470/600】

【Mad King Building Population: 3525】

【Mad King Building Players' Average SAN Value: 58 points】

【Warning: Mad King Building Players' SAN value is low, Mad Residual Filth is being generated!】

Opening the Acting Dorm Owner panel, Xu Lang had originally intended to check the population changes, but ended up seeing that line of warning again, and his brows immediately furrowed.

Combined with the context, the Mad King Building players' average SAN value had increased by 8 points compared to before. That was not a small number.

He looked at Kui Zi and asked, "Are the Mad King Building players even crazier now?"

"Uh... that's the general trend." Kui Zi replied.

"No one in the Mad King Building has ever taken the Cleaner profession. Mad Residual Filth must have accumulated quite a bit more by now." Xu Lang stated.

Kui Zi understood instantly. She thought back to the contents of the work group and said solemnly:

"That's indeed the case. Some people clearly hadn't entered a Mad state, yet inexplicably contracted Mental Corruption, causing their SAN value to keep dropping."

"Sorry, I didn't pay enough attention to this matter!"

Xu Lang shook his head. "This matter wasn't yours to manage in the first place."

These past days, although he had stayed indoors, he would occasionally use the Eye of Providence to glance at changes in the outside world, or observe players' behavior through the Demon Box Curse. He knew the terrain changes within the Mad King Building like the back of his hand.

But he hadn't discovered the so-called Mad Residual Filth.

"I'm going out for a trip."

Xu Lang said hurriedly, then left Demon King Castle.
