Chapter 466: Sword Boomerang (2/2)
System Notice: Congratulations, you have completed the S+ Rank bounty quest [The Earth Lizard Dragon’s Head]. You have gained 2.7 million EXP, 60000 gold, 20000 Reputation and the quest reward: “Sword Boomerang”!
……
Swhoosh!
A golden light shrouded me and filled me with pleasant surprise. I wasn’t expecting to hit Level 120 this quickly! This meant that I could perform my fifth promotion quest right away!
Wait, let’s check the quest reward first. It was a light cyan skill book called “Sword Boomerang”, and it was sitting in a corner of my bag.
Sword Boomerang: Inject powerful qi into the blade of your sword and toss it at your enemy, damaging them with its powerful rotation. The weapon will automatically return to your hand after completing its cycle. The skill cannot miss. Level Requirement: 120. Class Requirement: Warrior, Magic Knight, Wanderer.
……
Very good, it was a long-range physical-based skill. I could basically throw it like a boomerang and deal damage to my enemies from range. It was at least as good as the Dragon Slaying Slash because the Dragon Slaying Slash had a poor hit rate despite its non-existent cooldown. I couldn’t use it carelessly in a fight against an expert like Candlelight Shadow. However, this Sword Boomerang couldn’t miss no matter what, so it was clearly superior in this department!
A flash of light later, the new skill appeared in my skill window. Perfect!
I then opened my bag and took out the two Outstanding Spirit-grade items I had gotten the day before. Now that I was Level 120, I could equip them now! I switched out the Purgatory Legguards for the Battle Soul Poleyn, and the Paralysis Ring for the Silver Dragon Ring. The level of my enemies were too high, and the Paralysis Ring’s level was too low, so its chance to proc Paralysis was reduced to less than 2%. It was practically useless at this point, so I had no qualms replacing it. After I put on the new equipment, my stats immediately jumped to a new level—
ID: Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand (Title: Purgatory Thunder)
Class: Undead Swordsman (Dark Gold Swordsman)
Level: 120
HP: 15940
Attack: 1827~2345
Defense: 2415
Magic Resist: 2215
Reputation: 178462
Tactics: 187
Luck: 25
……
My HP almost broke the 16k threshold, and both my Attack and Defense had drastically increased as well. I was so powerful right now that some people could tear their hair out if they knew my stats. Even better, both the Silver Dragon Ring and the Battle Soul Poleyn gave me plenty of Tactics and boosted the number to 187. This meant that the effectiveness of my stratagem was further increased by 187%. My Martial God had a base skill effect of +40% Attack, but with 187 Tactics, the number became +115%. How powerful was that?
PvP-wise, He Yi’s Royal Road was the best Famous General Skill, and Lin Yixin’s Bombshell second. However, my Martial God was the best Famous General Skill when it came to PvE and grinding levels. After obtaining so many top-tier items, the effect of Martial God was better than ever before. Currently, Lin Yixin’s Bombshell could only boost her allies’ Attack for a maximum of 60%, but mine was almost double that number. The gap in power was as clear as day. Moreover, I now had enough Tactics to go even against Lin Yixin assuming that we fought each other with both our Famous General Skills turned on. 115% extra Attack was basically enough to nullify her 60% extra Defense.
……
I was pleased to say the least. With my current Attack, Defense and HP stat, there should be no Spirit Rank boss I couldn’t solo myself. Just like before, I’m going to continue improving my strength!
After I repaired my equipment, I checked my private message window and saw a couple of notices—
System Notice: Congratulations, the item ”Fireblade Set” you consigned for sale has been sold for 35629 gold!
System Notice: Congratulations, the item ”Purple Heart Dagger” you consigned for sale has been sold for 90763 gold!
System Notice: Congratulations, the item ”Melody Robe” you consigned for sale has been sold for 8460 gold!
……
Almost all of the equipment I consigned for sale had been sold. I had upgraded my equipment drastically and earned a small fortune from this trip!
Next, I checked the level ranking of the China server. I was Level 120 and the number one player on the list. Luo River God of the Capital and Candlelight Shadow were both Level 118 and occupying the second and third spots. I could understand Luo River God of the Capital abusing her class advantage and mowing down mobs like a lawnmower, but Candlelight Shadow must’ve killed more bosses to be able to keep up with her. The maps of three major cities were huge, and I couldn’t be the only one who encountered a Spirit Rank boss. Also, it wasn’t like the world came to a stop when I was managing the guild territory. Lin Yixin however, was only sitting at Level 117 and the seventh place despite having killed a couple of bosses herself. It was because she had lost a bit too many levels previously. After all, China was full of talent, and Sky City was just one of the three major cities. It made sense that someone would capitalize on her downfall and surpass her in terms of levels.
The reward for being the first player to complete the fifth promotion quest was as good as mine, so I decided that it could wait a bit.
