Chapter 268: The Pioneer Conference

Listening to [Sun] Nils's words, Leo's heart sank slightly, and at the same time, there was also a sudden thought.

No wonder [the inner perimeter of the sacred tree] became like that......

He thought it was because of the night, but the change was too drastic, it was like a different world, but he didn't expect it to be because it had changed itself.

After thinking for a moment, Leo looked at the [Sun] Nils in front of him: "Mr. Nils, the reason for this anomaly?" ”

In the face of Leo's question, Nils shook his head, and there was a metallic friction sound between the helmet and the steel armor: "The cause of the mutation is unknown for the time being, but the time of the mutation should be 8 days ago." Many of the pioneers who were exploring the [Inner Perimeter of the Sacred Tree] suddenly encountered monsters that had changed in strength and form at that time, as well as other terrifying aberrant beings that had never been seen before. ”

"Some of the pioneers who escaped brought back information, and those who didn't make it ......"

"Anyway, it's great that you're back. The number of pioneers is small, and each one is precious. ”

Sighing, Nils turned to leave, but as soon as he lifted his footsteps, he seemed to think of something, and said to Leo, "Your strength is enough...... Tomorrow morning, there is a meeting of pioneers for this upheaval in the [inner circle of the sacred tree], and there will be more information on it, will you attend? ”

Hearing this, Leo thought for a while, nodded and said, "Participate." ”

[Sacred Tree Inner Circle] today's intelligence, it is reckless to explore alone, the lowest strength of the pioneers is also demigods, if they are together, the risk will be minimized, not to mention, Leo has always been interested in these pioneers from various worlds.

"In that case, let's add each other's contact information, and I'll send you a message before the meeting starts." Nils said, raising his hand and starting to manipulate the data frame projected by the Fire Mark: "Chasing the Light...... Found it, I've added it, you agree to it. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Leo had already felt a slight vibration from the fire mark on the back of his hand, and he clicked it away and agreed to the request.

Fire Contractors can add "friends" to each other to send messages to each other.

"I'll go first, you can fix it up."

After adding "friends", [Sun] Nils said goodbye and turned to leave, his figure gradually disappearing, presumably returning to his warband station.

"Pioneer Conference ......"

Leo stood where he was, not in a hurry to leave, but silently pondered.

"And, 8 days ago...... The day I defeated the Great Lord of the Abyss, the Blood Demon, was 8 days ago, is it a coincidence? Or is there a correlation between the two? ”

Recalling that the Great Lord of the Abyss, the Blood Demon, "believed" that he would be resurrected before he died, but his soul was directly ingested by the character panel, Leo felt that it was difficult to say that there was no connection between the two......

After all, [the inner perimeter of the sacred tree] did not change drastically in the early days, and did not change drastically in the evening, but at that time, it changed drastically......

"Hoo ......"

With a light breath, Leo's gaze calmed down again.

In any case, he must enter the [Inner Circle of the Sacred Tree], which is not only related to his resolution of the aberration, but also related to whether he can find a way back to the Blue Star.

Of course, some necessary preparations are also indispensable before that.

For example, walking with other pioneers.

Another example is to improve your strength as much as possible.

Standing next to the [Central Bonfire], Leo opened the data frame and glanced at the 37698 firewood he had obtained this time, and then he clicked on the warband skill and began to upgrade.

[Boost [Plundering Wind Lv.6] (Rare), it costs 1000 firewood, is it increased?] 】

The increase in the skill level of the warband below Lv.10 did not change with the increase in level, and after four consecutive points, Leo upgraded this skill to Lv.10, and then he pulled the skill [Extra Amplification] of another warband to the highest level that can be improved so far.

——

[Wind of Plunder Lv.10] (Rare): +5% Firewood Gain for all Warband Members

——

[Additional Amplification Lv.10]: All members of the warband have an additional 10% increase in all attributes.

——

The Lv.1 Warband's Warband Skills can only be increased to Lv.10 at the maximum, so if you want to continue to improve, you must increase the level of the Warband.

[Wind of Plunder] aside, after [Extra Amplification] reaches Lv.10, the strength increase brought by [Bonus Amplification] is also quite considerable.

Fire Contractor Lv.13, the additional increase of all attributes is 92%, and at this moment, with the blessing of the warband's skills, it has become 102%.

Although this power is an "external amplification device", at least for now, it can bring a good strength boost.

Upgrading the skills of the two warbands to lv.10 cost 14,000 firewood, and there are 23,698 left, which Leo is not going to use to upgrade the level, he plans to exchange it for some soul equipment.

[Combat Skill: Continuous Shooting] was integrated into [Yoel's Archery] and became an example of his expanding skills, giving Leo a new way of thinking.

The power from the Burning Shrine may be counterbalanced or even disappear in the future, but skills like [Skill: Continuous Shooting], which is integrated into the character panel, will not disappear.

The character panel, this magical being that unfolded with his first entry into the dream world, can even snatch souls from the Goddess of the Dark Moon, and although the Burning Sacrifice is supernatural, it is impossible to be stronger than the Goddess of the Dark Moon.

Therefore, once integrated into the character panel, it is truly your own power.

Some of the combat skills in the standard soul weapon are quite magical, and Leo is going to exchange them for a try to see if they can be integrated into the swordsmanship and become an expansion skill.

Depending on the type and combat skills of standard soul weapons, the firewood required for exchange also varies, but in general, the price of a standard soul weapon is between 2000~4000.

The reason why the longbow that was exchanged before only needs 2000 firewood is because this thing has to be used with arrows, and the exchange of arrows is also firewood, and in the long run, compared with those standard soul weapons worth 4000, it may be more expensive.

After thinking for a moment, Leo exchanged for three standard soul weapons.

[Small Dagger] worth 4,000 firewood with [Skill: Tumbling].

[Greatsword] worth 4,000 firewood, with [Skill: Tenacity].

[Long Sword] worth 4,000 firewood, with [Skill: Thrust].

[Fighting Knife] worth 4,000 firewood, with [Combat Skill: Juai].

The combat skills of these four standard soul weapons are the ones that Leo thinks have the best effect and are the easiest to integrate with swordsmanship.

As for the combat skills of other standard soul weapons, in his opinion, they were either useless, or too bells and whistles to be of little value.

After exchanging these four standard soul weapons, Leo's firewood salary was only 7698.

He was going to use this firewood to buy some special auxiliary cultivation props for the warband's station, such as the "gravity adjustable device" worth 5,000 firewood that he had always coveted.

After dealing with the exchange, Leo glanced around, and was about to return to the warband station to try to fuse combat skills, when suddenly, he saw a familiar face out of the corner of his eye.

It is said to be familiar, but it is also not very good, to be precise, there should be a relationship.

The tattered gray robe, the slender knife around the waist, the long uncombed hair, the depressed and negative expression, and the dark eyes......

It was the passive brother who used to be at the gate of the burning house - "Lai Yin".

Leo paused slightly, and did not have the idea of the past, because the other party had become like this, he did not know, and he did not want to know, in this cruel world, sometimes, it is not a good thing to lose his enterprising spirit and stay in the burning sacrifice to spend his life.

It's just that the Tao is different, and they don't conspire with each other.

In his thoughts, Leo's figure turned into a small spark and drifted away, entering the warband's station.

And at the moment when he left, Lai Yin, who was sitting in the dark corner of the bonfire, raised his head as if he was aware of it, his blank eyes paused at the place where Leo had disappeared, and then lowered his head again.

He seemed to have an impression of the figure just now, but forget it...... It doesn't matter, anyway, it's hopeless after all.

……

The Xiguang War Regiment is stationed, in the center of the dojo.

Leo stood here and took out his first standard soul weapon, the [Small Dagger] with [Skill: Tumbling], from the storage space of the Fire Mark.

The moment he held the little dagger, Leo was in good spirits.

At this moment, the knowledge content about [Combat Technique: Tumbling] poured into his mind, including several years of hard training experience, which gave him a preliminary understanding of how to use this combat skill.

Leo, who had experience in this regard, was no stranger to this, and he immediately looked at the character panel, wanting to see if the skill was integrated into his skills.

Soon, he saw the [Skill: Tumbling] that had become an energy-saving expansion underneath the [Royal Swordsmanship].

Without being in a hurry to open it to see the specific introduction, Leo concocted it in the same way, and soon, the combat skills of the other three standard soul weapons were also expanded from the royal swordsmanship.

——

[Royal Swordsmanship (Celestial 4999/1000)]: ......

Expand your skills:

- 1. [Combat Skill: Tumbling (Introductory 1/100)] (Blessed by the Heavenly and Human Royal Swordsmanship, before the Heavenly and Human level, the proficiency acquisition efficiency is greatly increased)

- 2. [Combat Skill: Tenacity (Introductory 1/100)] (Blessed by the Heavenly and Human Royal Swordsmanship, before the Heavenly and Human level, the proficiency acquisition efficiency is greatly increased)

Source change app】

- 3. [Combat Skill: Thrust (Introductory 1/100)] (Blessed by the Heavenly and Human Royal Swordsmanship, before the Heavenly and Human level, the proficiency acquisition efficiency is greatly increased)

- 4. [Combat Skill: Iai (Beginner 1/100)] (Blessed by the Heavenly and Human Royal Swordsmanship, before the Heavenly and Human level, the proficiency acquisition efficiency is greatly increased)

——

There is no accident, the four combat skills integrated into the royal swordsmanship have the lowest proficiency of "1/100 of the entry".

However, unlike [Combat Skill: Continuous Shooting], the acquisition of proficiency of these four melee combat skills can be greatly blessed by the Heavenly and Human level royal swordsmanship.

Compared to the [Yoel Archery], which was only at the master level and has only been promoted to the grandmaster level, the celestial-level [Royal Swordsmanship] is much more terrifying in terms of the blessing of proficiency and efficiency.

Beginner, Mastery, Mastery, Master, Master, Celestial.

There are five levels between the entry and the celestials, and there is also the qualitative change level of the celestials.

Leo tried to use [Skill: Roll], and his proficiency immediately increased by 7 points.

The basic 1 point, mastery, mastery, master, and always 1 point each, and 2 points of celestial blessings, a total of 7 points.

[Skill: Roll (Starter 8/100)]: Perform a tumbling motion that makes you immune to all damage for 1/10 of the time.

In the dojo, Leo rolled to the side, and in the process, for a very short time, he felt that his whole body was wrapped in an invisible force, and then, there was a feeling of disappearing into this world.

After a few attempts, Leo stopped his movements, his eyes glazed out.

This skill is very interesting.

According to the introduction, during the tumbling process, there is a time when the tumbling time is one-tenth of the time to be immune to all damage, but because the proficiency is only at the level of entry, this can be called "invincible" time is not fixed.

If the time it takes to roll is 1 second, then the invincibility of 0.1 seconds will appear randomly during this 1 second.

There is no pattern and no control.

This point, Leo believes that as the proficiency level increases, there will be a great improvement.

What aroused his strong curiosity was the root of "invincible time".

Under the wrapping of that special force, he seems to be integrated into the space, separated from the real world, because he is not in this world, so no matter how strong the attack of this world is, as long as it cannot affect the space, it is impossible to attack him.

And in the Holy Tree of Flvedia, want to break the space?

Leo felt that it was difficult to do it at the demon god level.

After all, even if he was blessed by the "Song of the Holy Maiden" and burned his soul during the fierce battle with the Great Lord of the Abyss, the Blood Demon, and had the strength to surpass the limit of the demigods, he still felt that the space around him was indestructible.

Although the strength of the demon god level is much stronger than that of the demigods, it is mainly strong in the "world", purely in terms of physical body, it is not much stronger than Leo at that time.

And now, what is difficult to do even at the demon god level, it is unbelievable that a small combat skill can be done.

"Goddess of Light...... Burning Sacrifice House...... Skill ......"

Leo muttered to himself, guessing.

This way of integrating into the space is not like forcibly breaking through the space with violence, but more like the permission of some kind of authority.

After thinking for a long time, Leo shook his head, ready to continue to improve the proficiency of his combat skills.

In any case, now that these four combat skills are integrated into his skills, it means that this is a power controlled by him, and naturally he cannot slack off.

As for the "authority" that [Skill: Tumbling] can integrate into the space, when his proficiency is high, he should be able to feel it clearly.

In the following time, Leo practiced the four combat skills and continuously improved his proficiency.

And with the blessing of the celestial-level royal swordsmanship, the proficiency level of these four combat skills is also rapidly improving.

The time of cultivation is always in a hurry, and I don't know how long it took, Leo, who was immersed in the cultivation of combat skills, was "awakened" by the slight shaking of the fire mark on the back of his right hand.

He stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look, only to see a private message appear on the projected data frame.

From [Sun] Niels.

"Chase the light, the Pioneer Meeting will begin in half an hour, and the venue will be in the lobby area on the second floor of the Burning Shrine."

"Are you going to start...... Leo narrowed his eyes slightly, and this time he suddenly realized that more than ten hours had passed since he practiced this combat skill.

After a brief tidying up, he turned into a spark and disappeared, returned to the fire area, and then stepped on the stairs to the second floor.
