22: New skills: [Rebar], max level [Violence], max level [Firmness]
In the afternoon, after returning home from picking up his delivery, Bai Xuan first sharpened his dragon spring sword.
After sharpening the sword, Bai Xuan did not rush to enter the game world.
Instead, he held the dragon spring sword and performed a round of Wudang Swordplay.
What does an Agility of ten mean?
This is ten times the Agility of an ordinary person!
Coupled with max-level Agility!
Bai Xuan's speed was now astonishing, like a gale!
"Swish swish!! Whoosh whoosh!!!"
The blade cut through the air, emitting a series of sword cries.
In one second, nineteen sword strikes were unleashed.
In just a few seconds, Bai Xuan completed a set of Wudang Swordplay, which was truly terrifying.
[Proficiency +30]
"Very good, the proficiency directly increased by thirty."
"This is another advantage of breaking through the Agility limit."
"The faster the speed, the faster the proficiency will increase when practicing some skills."
"It seems it won't be long before Wudang Swordplay, as well as Violence and Tough Body, all reach max level."
After testing his current Agility, Bai Xuan entered the game world.
Hunting began!
With ten points of Agility, Bai Xuan's speed was extremely fast, surpassing that of a cheetah; his entire body moved like a whirlwind.
The whirlwind swept in all directions, and the blade gleamed with a cold light.
Bai Xuan's maximum speed was nineteen sword strikes per second.
In actual combat, this was naturally difficult to achieve, but fifteen sword strikes per second was still very easy.
Fifteen sword strikes per second, one monster per sword.
This was Bai Xuan's current hunting speed.
Of course,
if he encountered an Intermediate Infected or a Mid-Level Mutant, Bai Xuan still couldn't kill them in one strike.
However, killing an Intermediate Infected in two strikes was still achievable.
As for Mid-Level Mutants... each Mid-Level Mutant was a different individual, with huge variations; if one had particularly high defense, Bai Xuan naturally couldn't kill it in two strikes.
For example, this one.
From its flesh grew black, long, strip-like tissues resembling "tendons." These "black tendons" wrapped around its entire body, as if forming a set of armor.
His gaze shifted, and Bai Xuan saw various "gaps," then his wrist twisted.
"Swish swish swish swish...!"
In less than half a second, seven sword strikes were unleashed.
The body of this Mid-Level Mutant was torn into pieces and scattered on the ground.
Looking at the grayish-white light orb suspended in mid-air, Bai Xuan reached out and touched it.
[Obtained skill "Steel Tendons"]
[Skill: Steel Tendons LV1 (0/100)]
[Effect: Passive skill, tendon tissue hardness increased by 30%]
"Iron Bones, Steel Tendons... it seems these two skills are a set."
"Good, very good."
Feeling the invisible flames igniting the tendon tissues within his body and the invisible heavy hammer constantly tempering the tendon tissues throughout his body, this hot and painful sensation made Bai Xuan frown slightly.
However, Bai Xuan knew that this sensation meant his tendon tissues were being refined and tempered, becoming stronger, so he also showed an expression of enjoyment on his face.
With a smirk, Bai Xuan was in pain yet happy.
Once the pain completely disappeared, Bai Xuan was left with only pleasure.
"What a rush!"
"Time to continue hunting!"
Breaking through the Agility limit was indeed an excellent choice.
Terrifying movement speed combined with attack speed.
This made Bai Xuan's hunting efficiency far superior to yesterday.
And the increase in skill proficiency was also far superior to yesterday.
Before the sun set,
the two passive skills, Violence and Tough Body, had reached max level.
[Violence LV9 → LV10]
[Skill "Violence" has been upgraded to LV10, reaching max level. Its effects have been comprehensively improved, and players can choose one from the following three max-level enhancement options:]
[Strength Burst: Your explosive power increases by 25%, and your body can perform strength bursts faster.]
[Burly Muscles: Your muscle mass increases by 25%, and you can control your muscle strength more deeply.]
[Extreme Strength: Strength attribute increases by 25%, and your human structure undergoes targeted modification, becoming stronger.]
No need to hesitate, he directly chose [Strength Burst].
His muscles suddenly contracted, and his body instinctively began to tremble.
Every muscle fiber in the human body seemed to be twisted and intertwined at this moment, making the muscle density greater, the muscle fibers thicker, and the body's explosive power stronger.
Terrifying power was hidden within his muscles; his entire body of muscles seemed to have transformed into a terrifying beast, capable of unleashing incredibly astonishing power with just a thought.
This was, of course, just an illusion.
But the increase in explosive power was real.
In addition to Violence reaching max level and allowing for max-level enhancement, Tough Body also reached max level.
[Tough Body LV9 → LV10]
[Skill "Tough Body" has been upgraded to LV10, reaching max level. Its effects have been comprehensively improved, and players can choose one from the following three max-level enhancement options:]
[Resilient Skin: Skin toughness increases by 25%, and your skin will have stronger resistance to impact.]
[Resilient Muscles: Muscle toughness increases by 25%, and your muscles will have stronger resistance to impact.]
[Extreme Physique: Physique attribute increases by 25%, and your human structure undergoes targeted modification, becoming more tenacious.]
"For the passive skill Tough Body, every upgrade before, the upgrade enhancements that appeared, I always alternated between choosing Resilient Skin and Resilient Muscles."
"So should I choose Resilient Skin according to the original order, or choose Resilient Muscles?"
As for Extreme Physique, Bai Xuan immediately ruled it out.
After a moment of hesitation, Bai Xuan still chose Resilient Muscles.
The reason was simple: muscles are much thicker than skin.
As Bai Xuan made his choice, an intense tearing pain suddenly generated from all the muscles in his body, transmitting to his brain and causing it to tremble involuntarily.
Inch by inch, the muscles were torn, then regenerated and reconstructed, and the new muscles became even tougher.
"Hoo~"
He slowly exhaled a mouthful of stale air.
The improvements brought by the two max-level passive skills were indeed very significant for Bai Xuan.
In addition to these two passive skills reaching max level, Iron Bones and Wudang Swordplay also leveled up by more than one level.
[Iron Bones LV7 → LV8]
[Wudang Swordplay LV6 → LV7]
As for the most noteworthy gain, it was naturally the blood of evolution.
In one day, Bai Xuan collected a total of three drops of blood of evolution.
"It seems that before the summer vacation ends, I will definitely be able to collect enough blood of evolution to break the limits of all attributes."
"Strength, Physique, Spirit, Agility all reaching ten points... how terrifying will my combat power be?"
"Besides that,"
"what kind of loot will Advanced Infected and Advanced Mutants drop?"
Bai Xuan was truly looking forward to how much he would improve before the end of summer vacation.
