“Ah, this is truly enjoyable.”
He withdrew his gaze.
Ye Ran turned his attention to the remaining items.
Lingqi Fragment - Cúchūlín *1
Command Seal - Projection Magic *3
Command Seal - Grimoire *1
Lingqi Fragment - Archer/Shirou (Alter) *1
【Command Seal - Grimoire】: A book that records the arcane secrets of magic, as well as the life of the magician who authored it.
This Grimoire is good, it can greatly supplement his lack of magical knowledge.
After all, Ye Ran was a self-taught, unorthodox mage.
He had not received systematic magic training.
This Command Seal directly filled in his weakness in magical knowledge.
【Command Seal - Projection Magic】, currently four-break, only one step away from its final full-break.
After reaching four-break, he could clearly feel that a lot of projection magic knowledge had been added to his mind.
The core essence of this magic seemed to be gradually being dissected and mastered by him.
Finally, there are the three-star Cúchūlín Lingqi Fragment and the four-star Archer/Shirou (Alter) Fragment.
Unlike the five-star Old Sword, which can inherit all skills, the three-star Cúchūlín and the four-star Black Archer can only let him choose one skill to inherit.
Let's first take a look at Cúchūlín's three skills.
Rank A - Battle Continuation, Rank B - Protection from Arrows, and Rank C - Return to Origin.
Cúchūlín's nickname of "Doggo" isn't unfounded.
Each of these three skills is incredibly good.
The first skill, 【Battle Continuation】, allows him to survive as long as he doesn't receive a fatal blow.
In the original work, Doggo successfully killed Assassin (Kotomine) thanks to this skill.
The second skill, 【Protection from Arrows】, is a natural ability possessed by Cúchūlín.
It is considered that as long as he confirms the target with his eyes, he can dodge any long-range attack.
As for the final 【Return to Origin】, while it can remove his own unfavorable states, compared to the first two skills, it's relatively weaker.
Hmm, "Return to Origin" is not an option.
Between "Battle Continuation" and "Protection from Arrows", Ye Ran chose Protection from Arrows.
With his current strength, even if he could hold on against those who could inflict fatal damage, there wouldn't be much point.
It's better to choose 【Protection from Arrows】, which allows him to easily dodge any long-range attack.
This skill allows him to avoid even projectile attacks, even if it's a sneak attack from a Noble Phantasm.
It gives him a huge advantage in defense.
He felt that he had no reason not to choose this practical ability.
When choosing from Archer/Shirou (Alter)'s three skills, Ye Ran decisively chose 【Projection Magic】, which despite being seemingly Rank C, is considered Rank A+ under certain conditions.
This skill is even more fierce and violent than the original Projection Magic.
Its rank will jump significantly when the projected object is within the category of a 'sword'.
Due to the characteristic of being able to 'prepare a counterfeit no matter how many times', the destruction of Noble Phantasms projected by Black Archer can instantly increase their power during explosions.
Black Archer's first skill "Bulletproof Modification" has a similar effect to Doggo's Protection, both being evasion skills, so it's not being considered.
And "Iron Heart of Laughter" as a mental pollution skill is not very useful, so it's also being abandoned.
With this, Ye Ran's personal template has finally undergone a new change.

.....
“I've become stronger again, but I haven't gone bald.”
The fragments of the two Lingqi consecutively poured into his body, causing Ye Ran to tremble.
The next moment, a suffocatingly terrifying spiritual pressure enveloped all the students and Xueye Bai Xiangli on the podium.
Everyone felt a jump in their brow, as if being targeted by a prehistoric beast, their heartbeats almost stopped instantly, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
However, this pressure came quickly and left just as fast.
It quickly returned to calm.
While everyone was still confused, Ye Ran had successfully absorbed the two Lingqi Fragments, completing his life leap.
“Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the system, one to four-star Lingqi need three treasures to unlock their Noble Phantasms.”
Putting down the book, Ye Ran twirled his pen, feeling a bit of regret.
While he can't currently use Cúchūlín's "Gáe Bolg", he can still unlock Shirou's "Unlimited Blade Works".
Having absorbed Black Archer's Lingqi Fragment, the Projection Magic he has mastered has far surpassed that of the original Shirou.
I really want to find an opponent to spar with.
The power of Unlimited Blade Works makes Ye Ran eager to try it out.
Who wouldn't want to be an invincible sword-wielding bone?
Damn!
Opening his phone, he began checking the information on the 【Demon Hunt】app.
He wanted to see if he could find similar Holy Crystal grand packages like that special-grade Cursed Spirit.
.........
【Public Chat Room】
【Tokyo's Number One Heartthrob】: "Damn, was there a special-grade Cursed Spirit in Tokyo yesterday? I went near Black Building and found that all the houses in the area had collapsed!"
【Shimokitazawa's Legendary Single Man】: "Right? I went to see it too, it scared the hell out of me. Half the city was reduced to rubble. Those government officials have a lot of work to do today. The people who have to clean up the mess are surely going to hate that guy."
【鈴】: "Do any of the bigwigs know who dealt with that special-grade Cursed Spirit? It was a super powerful monster at special-grade level. The person who took it down must be a rare genius!"
【Nukenin Konoe】: "Same question, I'm interested in this person."
【Tendo Michiko】: "According to the on-site Jujutsu sorcerers, it was a powerful young man, but he's low-key and doesn't want to reveal his whereabouts."
