Chapter 1: Sword Demon! The first update

Nightmare Space.

Zhao Futu stood outside the skill hall and couldn't help but hesitate.

He is now faced with a choice, that is, to complete the six-attribute or even seven-attribute peak breakthrough in the Nightmare Sky, or to wait until he enters the gold-level main quest to break through. There are rules to follow in the difficulty of the nightmare space assignment task, one is the number of main story scenes that the contractor has experienced, and the other is the difference between the contractor's own strength and the difficulty of the plot.

To put it simply, if Zhao Futu breaks through now, he only needs to strengthen a few basic skills to the full level!

The survival point income required for skill levels 15 to lv20 is 10,000 survival points and a D-level soul crystal. If one of the basic skills is upgraded to the maximum level, then the required survival point gain is 50,000 survival points and a C-level soul crystal. Zhao Futu now has about 150,000 Zuoyou survival points, as well as a B-level soul crystal and a C-level soul crystal.

Basically, it's enough for him to raise three of his basic skills to the max level!

However, there is also a disadvantage to this, that is, if he accidentally breaks through the peak, his strength will be transformed immediately, and at the same time, he will obtain the law flower body template.

Even according to the lowest standard, Zhao Futu's strength will be more than twice as strong as it is now!

Similarly, this also means that after Zhao Futu enters the gold-level mandatory main quest, the difficulty of the tasks assigned to him by the Nightmare Space will be more than doubled!

However, if he waits until he enters the Nightmare Space and then strengthens it, entering in a state that has not yet broken through the peak, and a state that has not completed the regularization of the body, then the difficulty of the tasks assigned to him in the Nightmare Space in the gold-level mandatory main quest will at least drop a lot. Even though he retains a lot of attribute points, Nightmare Space will only increase the difficulty slightly according to the number of attribute points retained.

It's like 50 points of strength and 10 points of free attribute points are retained, so the difficulty of the assigned task is allocated according to 60 points of strength.

And not as extreme as the peak breakthrough of attributes and the improvement of body laws!

Without breaking through in the nightmare space, Zhao Futu estimated that the difficulty of the tasks assigned to him was still biased towards the level of the new contractor.

But if you do the peak breakthrough and body regularization now. At that time, the difficulty of the task assigned to him is a proper veteran level, and even if he completes the attribute peak breakthrough, it will not be so easy to do!

Therefore.

Whether it's basic melee, basic ranged combat, basic footwork, or basic stamina, he can't easily improve.

The only thing that can be strengthened is only basic meditation, if you are lucky enough to draw 6 points of intelligence attribute improvement, then Zhao Futu can basically achieve a breakthrough of seven attribute peaks. But in doing so, he basically used up all of his free attribute points. According to his original plan, he was ready to put all the remaining 9 free attribute points into his strength, and then after successfully passing the gold-level main quest, he would directly increase his strength to 75 points, and then solidify the [Power Crush] effect!

The multi-attribute peak breakthrough is only the effect of strengthening the regularization of the body. The gap between the six-attribute peak breakthrough and the seven-attribute peak breakthrough should not be too big!

Of course, this is only Zhao Futu's estimate.

Another reason is that he doesn't have a high demand for intelligence, and he doesn't know if he should invest so much freedom in intelligence.

Ultimately.

Zhao Futu still decided to strengthen the foundation meditation first to lv20 to see, if he can draw enough intelligence, then he will directly break through the peak of the seven attributes!

He got up and entered the skill hall and directly raised the basic meditation to the full level.

As the basic meditation was raised to lv20, the cold prompt sound of the nightmare space also sounded:

"Contractor No. 1013 raises the basic meditation to lv20 (full level), permanently increases its own energy value by 200 points, and solidifies the basic energy recovery effect by 20%." [Note: To further improve, please learn other basic meditation extension skills!] 】

This is a close second. Here's what the options look like:

"Contractor No. 1013, one of your basic skills, Basic Meditation is increased to lv20."

"Please select 2 additional abilities from the following 5 options."

"Option 1: Permanently increase INT by 5."

"Option 2: Permanent 300 energy."

"Option 3: Permanently increase your base energy regeneration rate by 100%."

"Option 4: Master the 'Awaken' ability, which restores 40% of its energy within 60 seconds after activation. The wake-up process cannot be interrupted, and the cooldown time is 72 hours. ”

"Option 5: Master the 'Energy Shield' ability, which will form an energy shield on itself every 2 energy points when activated. Can negate 1 damage. ”

………………

"Sure enough!"

Zhao Futu looked at the additional options in front of him with a little pain, and said silently in his heart: "It seems that the highest value of attribute points extracted when improving skills is 5 points?" I have strengthened myself along the way, and it seems that I have not encountered an attribute reward that is 5 points higher! ”

1 free attribute point!

After Zhao Futu chose the first and fifth items. I was helpless to find that I was just a little bit away from breaking through the peak of the seven attributes.

"We'll have to see if there's any other way!"

Zhao Futu sighed softly, and then walked out of the skill hall.

There will be some natural treasures in the nightmare space that can improve attributes, which are basically from some difficult planes.

For example, the hundred-year-old vermilion fruit and thousand-year-old ginseng in the Eastern Xianxia plane, the sacred acorn, the water of life in the Western magic plane, etc., some of these things occasionally appear in the nightmare space, but the price of selling is simply outrageous, casually the price of tens of thousands of survival points. And more importantly, this kind of props are limited to promotion, and the higher the naked attribute of the contractor, the higher the level of this kind of prop needed.

Under normal circumstances, items that can increase the naked attribute to more than 35 points are extremely rare things that belong to the silver level!

Zhao Futu returned to his private space.

First, he called the auction house to look for this kind of prop, and he had already seen it in the market area just now, and there were no such special items.

After some searching, Zhao Futu found something.

It is a five-hundred-year-old ginseng king from the Eastern Immortal Plane, and the effect it has is to permanently increase the constitution by 5 points, permanently increase the true qi value by 500 points, or it can be used for alchemy.

The limit of the effect of increasing Constitution is 45 points, and if the Naked Constitution is higher than 45 points, it will not be able to be improved.

The item is silver-level, the price is 50,000 survival points, and a C-level soul crystal.

This thing is useless to Zhao Futu at all, and eating it is just to increase a little bit of true qi. As for the kind of natural treasure that he wanted to improve his intelligence, he didn't see any trace of it.

"That's fine. The six-attribute peak breakthrough is also sufficient. ”

Zhao Futu pondered for a moment and muttered, "Because of the strengthening of the basic internal strength, my need for energy value is getting less and less now. ”

"That's fine, as a melee contractor, you can focus on power, agility, and physical strength in the future. Forty points of intelligence are enough to use all kinds of skills that require energy. ”

Soon, Zhao Futu paid attention.

Since he couldn't make up for the difference in intelligence, he mainly invested his free attribute points in strength, and after surviving the second gold-level main quest, he increased his naked strength to 75 points!

Because it's still early.

Zhao Futu changed the search settings of the auction house to high to low, and the items were automatically sorted according to their level.

As soon as he set it up, two golden martial arts cheats appeared in his eyes, and he saw that the top one had four big characters on it: "Six-vein Divine Sword [Lone Book]!" ”

"Six-vein Divine Sword [Lonely Book]: This is a unique book that records all the mysteries of the Six-Vein Divine Sword, which contains a part of the law power of the Oriental Martial Arts Plane, after using this martial arts cheat, the contractor will automatically master the [Pure Fire] level of the Six-Vein Divine Sword skill."

[Requirements: Basic melee lv15, basic internal power lv15.] 】

………………

Underneath this martial arts cheatbook, there is another gold-level martial arts cheat book "Dugu Nine Swords [Secret Biography]!" ”

"Dugu Nine Swords [Secret Biography]: This is the Dugu Nine Swords cheats recorded by the sword demon Dugu Seeking Defeat, which contains a part of the special law power, after using the martial arts cheats, the contractor will automatically master the Dugu Nine Swords skill at the level of [Pure Fire]."

[Requirements: Basic melee lv15, basic swordsmanship lv15, basic internal power lv10.] 】

………………

Behind these two cheats, there is a silver-level martial arts cheats "Xuantie Sword Technique [Annotated Edition]." ”

"Xuantie Sword Technique [Annotated Book]: This is a martial arts cheat book that records the Xuantie Sword Technique and some of its mysteries, which contains all the new ones that Yang Guo has practiced hard for ten years, and after using this martial arts cheat, the contractor will automatically master the [Ascending to the Hall] level of the Xuantie Sword Technique."

[Requirements: Basic melee lv15, basic sword lv10, naked strength 45 points.] 】

………………

And that's not even the most eye-catching.

What is really striking is that the contractor who sold these martial arts cheats did not hide his code name at all.

Underneath this basic martial arts cheat, it is marked with the code name of its owner.

"Sword Demon!"
