Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 951 - 378 Edge Exposure
Chapter 951: Chapter 378 Edge Exposure
Wang Tao returned to the villa.
Lu Yingfeng was the first to wake up.
“Little Feng, how do you feel?”
Wang Tao asked with a smile.
“I feel great! I have this urge to have a sparring match with you!”
Lu Yingfeng clenched her fists.
“…”
Wang Tao was somewhat speechless, wondering if a girl needed to be this violent… But now that Lu Yingfeng had awakened, it seemed she really was a bit violent!

Lu Yingfeng’s previous hidden attribute was “Hatred for Evil.”
[Hatred for Evil: When attacking someone you consider bad, damage is slightly increased.]
Now it had transformed into the awakened “Edge Exposure.”
[Edge Exposure: Attacks carry a sharp edge.]
The description of this awakening was simple, but if it was as Wang Tao thought, then this awakening was truly awesome and violent. Wang Tao believed her fused ability must be high-frequency vibration… He directly asked:
“Which ability fused into your awakening?”
“High-frequency vibration!”
“Just as I thought…”
Wang Tao’s guess was correct. High-frequency vibration was already a very strong attack ability, and now that it had fused into this purely offensive awakening, its power must be formidable!
“Wang Tao, can you tell what type of awakening mine is?”
Lu Yingfeng looked at Wang Tao with a mix of curiosity and anticipation.
“Let me guess… it should be a really strong offensive awakening!”
Wang Tao said with a smile.
Lu Yingfeng’s eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded her head.
“It is indeed an offensive awakening, but… as for how strong it is, I don’t know…”
She could only perceive roughly what the awakening was like, but as for its power, that would have to be tested to be known.
Lu Yingfeng stretched out her hand and sliced the air.
Then a pale golden light about ten centimeters long appeared from her fingertips.
The hairs on Wang Tao and the others stood on end in an instant, as they all felt a strong sense of danger emanating from this golden light.
“Eh? What is this? I have this really dangerous feeling, and I’m getting goosebumps…”
Lan Yulian was slightly shocked and uncertain.
“This is my awakened Edge Exposure. But I don’t really know how to explain it, it’s like…”
Lu Yingfeng furrowed her brows, unsure of how to explain.
“Sword Qi!”
Wang Tao suddenly chimed in.
“Exactly! Just like the Sword Qi in martial arts novels!”
Lu Ying Feng thought Wang Tao’s explanation was very apt. Her edge did indeed resemble sword qi.
“Try it with a weapon, it should work too.”
Wang Tao handed over his sharp long knife.
“Mhm!”
Lu Yingfeng took the long knife and casually waved it through the air. A golden gleam appeared, longer and thicker than before, as if the air itself had been sliced in two.
Wang Tao and the others instinctively took a step back, their skin prickling with pain, feeling as if they could be torn apart at any moment!
“So strong!”
Everyone exclaimed.
Lu Yingfeng’s awakening was unlike any they’d seen before; the awakenings and abilities they had encountered were strong, sure, but that strength was always somewhat subdued.
Even with Wang Tao’s Fireball ability and Starfire Prairie, they could feel its power, but couldn’t perceive exactly how powerful it was—there had been people burned by Wang Tao’s fire before.
However, Lu Yingfeng’s Edge Exposure was different—they not only felt its strength, they were also acutely aware that they would die if they were hit by that edge! That’s why they instinctively kept their distance.
Just like the name of the awakening, its edge was glaringly obvious!
After some testing, whether Lu Yingfeng used her palm or a weapon, if she intended to attack, the edge would appear.
The edge could be long or short, large or small. Currently, the longest it could reach was one meter, and the shortest was a faint golden circle on the surface of her palm.
The actual power of the edge was also related to its size—the bigger and thicker it was, the more powerful it became.
This power was much greater than her previous High-frequency Vibration Ability!
And most importantly, high-frequency vibration could only be utilized with sharp objects, and it worked only on the weapon itself. It was akin to a single-target Skill.
But this Edge wasn’t restricted by the weapon used—whether with palms or a wooden stick, the edge could still be generated! With the edge reaching over a meter in length, it essentially became an area-of-effect attack!
Although the area was relatively small, it was very persistent. Moreover, Lu Yingfeng could feel that with increasing strength, her edge would become larger. Eventually, it might be possible to slash out an edge spanning tens of meters… just the thought was exhilarating!
But Wang Tao had another idea—he thought that as Lu Yingfeng grew stronger, her edge would be able to separate from her body, similar to a shockwave.
Furthermore, he suspected that releasing the edge wasn’t confined to just her hands—it was possible that when Lu Yingfeng became strong enough, even her eyes could unleash the edge. Ultimately, she might be able to look someone to death!
“You really dare to dream…”
Upon hearing Wang Tao’s ideas, Lu Yingfeng was somewhat speechless.
“Haha, I believe in your potential!”
Wang Tao laughed heartily.
This wasn’t just wild speculation because after her awakening, Lu Yingfeng herself seemed to exhibit sharpness all over. Although her eyes couldn’t emit an edge, one stern look from her felt like being pricked with needles… So Wang Tao thought her awakening might indeed develop in that direction.
Wang Tao was very satisfied with the Edge Exposure awakening; the only pity was that it wasn’t his own, and all he could do was watch enviously.
Of course, Lu Yingfeng and her awakening matched perfectly—
The reason Lu Yingfeng had survived the post-apocalyptic burst was thanks to the ancestral knife techniques she had practiced since childhood. The effectiveness of her sword techniques now was much stronger than before the apocalypse. Now, having gained an edge similar to sword qi, combining her techniques with the edge, Wang Tao couldn’t say exactly how strong it would be, but its potential was definitely impressive!
“Let’s increase your Awakening Energy limit.”
Wang Tao took out some Awakening Crystal Cores for Lu Yingfeng to fuse.
Using the edge consumed Lu Yingfeng’s Awakening Energy, but her consumption wasn’t a flat rate of 100. Wang Tao wasn’t sure of the exact amount as he couldn’t see it, but he could roughly feel that the larger the edge, the greater the consumption; when the edge was small, the cost was almost negligible.
Such an arrangement was quite user-friendly; otherwise, if just one edge consumed 100 Awakening Energy, that would be terrifying.
However, Wang Tao soon realized he’d spoken too soon.
When Lu Yingfeng’s limit of Awakening Energy was raised to 1000, she discovered she could indeed release the edge as Wang Tao had suggested—she just hadn’t felt it previously because she lacked sufficient Awakening Energy.
But the consumption of a detached edge was much higher—her 1000 Awakening Energy could at most be used 10 times, and with charging, it might be exhausted in a single use!
This meant that the detached edge’s consumption of Awakening Energy did start at 100…
