Chapter 148: Skill Quality Upgrade Voucher
[Page 1/3]
[Ding! Preparing your prizes...]
Within his sea of consciousness, a familiar, massive prize wheel slowly emerged.
Song Qi couldn't wait; he reached out and tapped nine times in rapid succession.
*Beep, beep, beep...*
The massive wheel began to spin, but he skipped the animation entirely. In an instant, nine items flew into his system inventory.
[Congratulations! You have obtained an Extraordinary-grade armor: Ultra-Light Tactical Armor!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained a Rare-grade weapon: Gale Staff!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained a Rare-grade skill book: Blazing Slash!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained a Professional Item Selection Voucher x3!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained a Triple EXP Card x5!]
...
[Ding! Detected that you have drawn nine times in a row. The next draw is a guaranteed pull, which will automatically filter out items below Extraordinary grade!]
[Ding! Detected that your level has exceeded 50! The guaranteed rarity will automatically be upgraded to Legendary or above!]
"Oh?"
"A pleasant surprise after reaching level 50?"
Song Qi was stunned for a moment, then his joy doubled.
"Does this mean that from now on, my guaranteed prizes will always be of Legendary quality or higher?"
"That’s fantastic! I was just worrying about what I would do if I drew a Hero-grade item that I had no use for."
With his current level and wealth, he truly looked down upon Hero-grade items. He hadn't expected the system to be so thoughtful, elevating his guaranteed rewards to Legendary status automatically.
"Excellent!"
"In that case..."
Song Qi took a deep breath and crushed the [Professional Item Selection Voucher]. Then, he tapped the draw button.
[Ding! Detected that you are using a prop. Filtering out all non-Summoner items...]
[Drawing...]
The massive, illusory wheel began to spin slowly...
"Skip!"
[Congratulations! You have obtained... Skill Quality Upgrade Voucher!]
*Huh?*
Song Qi blinked. "Skill Quality Upgrade Voucher?"
This was his first time ever obtaining such an item. He tapped to view the details:
[Skill Quality Upgrade Voucher: Select a skill to upgrade its quality. The skill's effects will also undergo slight changes.]
"Holy crap!?"
"There are no restrictions at all?!"
Song Qi froze on the spot.

[Page 2/3]
That meant, in theory, this item could even evolve a Saint-grade skill into an Origin-grade skill!
"What if I don't use it on myself?"
His eyes darted around, and he summoned Di Xin. He then tapped to use the item without hesitation.
And then...
[Ding! Innate abilities cannot be upgraded!]
The system’s notification of failure rang out.
"Calculated wrong!" Song Qi said, feeling slightly disappointed.
He remembered that on the summon’s interface, it was indeed listed as an "Innate Ability" rather than a "Skill."
"So, my God-tier Summoning Talent can’t be upgraded either? What a pity..."
Di Xin glanced at him helplessly before vanishing into thin air.
After Di Xin left, Song Qi opened his interface to look through his options. After deliberating for a long time, he ultimately chose the skill [Soul Link].
"There’s no helping it. If I have to pick the most useful skill in my entire arsenal, it’s this one."
Although it was only a Legendary-grade skill, it was perfectly suited for a high-quality Summoner like him!
[Are you sure you want to use this item on 'Soul Link'?]
"Yes!"
[Upgrading...]
[Congratulations! Upgrade successful!]
[Soul Link skill quality upgrade complete! Current quality is... Mythic-grade!]
"Holy crap! Mythic-grade?!"
"It upgraded two whole tiers at once!?"
Song Qi impatiently tapped the interface to look at the skill description.
[Soul Link: The user can designate one summoned entity and share all of its attributes and skills with zero consumption.]
"Why hasn't the text description changed much?"
Song Qi looked at it, feeling something was off. He thought for a moment and read it again.
"Wait?"
"Strange... where are the cooldown and duration? Why aren't they..."
Before he could finish, his heart gave a violent jolt, and his pupils constricted. A massive wave of shock surged within him!
With trembling hands, he closed the interface.
"Could it be..."
He lightly raised his hand...
*Swish!*
A Terracotta Warrior formed of yellow sand instantly solidified into shape!
But that wasn't all. He waved his hand, turning the warrior back into sand, and then beckoned with his right hand!

[Page 3/3]
*Swish!*
A cold, shimmering Fangtian Halberd appeared instantly in his hand!
"Indeed!"
Now, Song Qi could be absolutely certain!
"The Mythic-grade Soul Link has completely removed the cooldown for this skill!"
"Holy shit!!!!"
He was beyond excited!
"Is this what a Mythic-grade skill is like?!"
"Absurd!"
"This is too absurd!!!"
A cooldown-free Soul Link didn't just mean Song Qi could use the skill without care. More importantly, the lack of a cooldown meant he could switch between the templates of all his summoned entities at will!
This would increase his combat power exponentially!
In the past, once he chose a template, he couldn't change it, which sometimes left him in a passive position.
But now?
If a powerful enemy closed in, he could adopt Di Xin's template, using [Shouldering the Cauldron] to mitigate damage and knock the opponent back with a single punch!
Then, he could switch to Lu Bu's template, activate [Recklessness], and follow up with a [Self-Sacrificing Strike]!
Once both skills entered cooldown, he could retreat behind his summons, adopt Ying Zheng's template, and use [Unified Tracks] to harass the enemy.
What did this amount to?
It meant Song Qi was the synthesis of all his summons! And he was the type that only grew stronger as the number of his summons increased!
He alone was an entire army of summons!
"And the skill has no consumption either!"
"Does that mean..."
Song Qi thought for a moment and immediately applied Ying Zheng's template to himself.
In an instant, his figure vanished from where he stood.
*Swish, swish, swish...*
He moved forward at high speed without a single pause!
With Ying Zheng's Spirit attribute reaching 12,000, Song Qi could barely feel the consumption caused by [Directional Leap]. There was no need to stop and recover after every jump.
The marshland that had taken him over half an hour to reach was now behind him in just five minutes as he arrived back at the edge of the Mountain Tiger Tribe.
As soon as he landed, he immediately switched to Di Xin's template.
From now on, he planned to use Di Xin's template as his default.
"Although I only have a sliver of the World Origin within this skill and cannot fully replicate Di Xin's might, it is enough to defend against any skill attack that does not contain laws."
"In this Divine Kingdom, as long as I don't run into an ambush by a god, the possibility of me even getting injured has become incredibly slim!"
