Xu Xiaoshou decided that if he were to allocate 50000 points to “Sword Technique Expertise,” it would definitely beco sothing aweso that he could use for a killer move of sorts at key monts.
Yet, he definitely couldn’t afford to do that at present. If he were to make a breakthrough into master swordsman level, he would definitely be in a very dangerous situation.
“Su Qianqian is such a genius, and she’s yet to reach this level, whereas I just joined the Inner Yard a few days ago and have already reached it. Yeah, I’m still fundantally an Outer Yard disciple. Becoming a master swordsman is just ridiculous.”
“It would catch too much attention.
“Even if I have Elder Sang backing , I can hardly be considered safe.
“Furthermore, there’s just no telling if that old fart is stable. What if he just goes crazy all of a sudden and wants to dissect his disciple——instead?
Xu Xiaoshou felt that the likelihood was rather high.
There were 50000 points left, and he wondered where he could put these points.
He thought about it long and hard. The remaining skills all served their own unique purposes, so it was difficult for him to decide at the mont.
“Breathing Techniques?”
With the others being more or less of the sa importance, he could only return to his most fundantal passive technique, yet he quickly dismissed the thought.
His training didn’t actually have much to do with the level of his Breathing Technique. On the surface, it wasn’t hard to tell that the higher the levels of his passive skills, the faster he could level up.
Yet, that wasn’t actually how things worked. Cultivation resources were still the key.
While his Breathing Techniques were useful enough for absorbing ambient spiritual energy, he still had to suck in so other things, like Spiritual Cultivation Pills, Spirit Cultivation Juice, Red Gold Pills, Infernal Fire Seeds, and so on.
Regardless if any of those could actually help further his training, there was no doubt that anything that contained a good bit of spiritual energy would have a portion of it converted into his powers when they were absorbed into his body.
As such, despite the level of his Breathing Techniques not being all that high to begin with, he was nonetheless able to make breakthroughs at such a breakneck speed that anyone would’ve been astonished at his rate of progress.
“Getting from Spirit Cultivation Level three to Innate Level seed to have taken less than a month, I guess...”
He was feeling rather sheepish. If soone had pondered this, they would’ve quickly discovered that sothing was off with him.
He wasn’t the Eighth Sword Deity, and he didn’t think for a second that he had what it took to resist all those who bore him ill will.
“Well, if there’s no actual need to upgrade...” He took a look at the mall and the passive keys, which had gotten more expensive.
“Have a go, then?”
He decided that his first draw after the System’s upgrade would bring him good luck. He recalled the ti when he’d first played the wheel and acquired a passive skill with just two to three keys.
“Well, the new System might have increased the chance of getting passive keys, and I could get five passive skills with just 10 keys.” He was invigorated.
Passive Points: 238666.
Passive Points: 138666.
He dropped 10 keys into the red wheel and put his hands together. “RNGesus bless !”
Thank you for your patronage!
You got one key!
Thank you for your patronage!
Thank you for your patronage!
You got one key!
You got one key!
Thank you for your patronage!
Thank you for your patronage!
Extended Passive Skill acquired: Agility
Thank you for your patronage.
He gasped at the result, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
“I actually got sothing?
“Agility!?
“That’s like the godlike technique of my dreams!
“Agility... that should an enhanced movent speed, enhanced reaction ti, enhanced movent techniques, and so more such things, right?
“Or is it to say that everything’s enhanced?”
He was no longer a novice when ca to the System. According to the System’s habits, every single passive skill should be able to boost a certain, specific part of sothing.
Which also ant that the possibility of having everything in said part enhanced was greater.
“Is that to say that this one technique of mine is worth the sa as countless movent-type spiritual techniques and others’ deliberate combat training?
“RNGesus! This is definitely the blessing of RNGesus!”
He was elated and felt fortunate that he hadn’t thoughtlessly put in his points before. That decision had allowed him to gain a super passive skill that could almost rival “Strengthen,” and his combat prowess had definitely been considerably boosted.
He then put all “Level One Skill Points” into that newly acquired passive skill.
Agility (Innate, Lv.1).
His mind seed to have been showered by an elixir of so kind, as it felt refreshed and seed to work a lot faster.
He shuddered and made another draw with the remaining three keys, but, as expected, he got nothing in return.
Passive Points: 178666.
He finally realized that he shouldn’t focus on putting points into skills. The system had just been upgraded, which ant the rate at which new things could be drawn would definitely be sowhat higher.
“The Awakening Pool!”
His eyes lit up as he looked at the Awakening Stones in the mall.
One for 10000 passive points.
“Let’s go!”
His Passive Points were deducted accordingly, and an azure stone of irregular shape appeared. Its surface was shimring, and, after he took a good look at it, he found that the stone was shimring with all the Extended Passive Skills he’d acquired.
He willed, and only Strengthen remained on its surface.
Given that he’d been able to get this far mostly thanks to Strengthen working so well in battle, he saw fit to focus on that skill first.
He then threw the Awakening Stone into the Awakening Pool, causing splashes.
He subconsciously checked the Information Bar.
Awakening failed!
“Sh**!
“10000 points all for nothing just like that!”
But he restrained himself. He’d be able to at least awaken once in 10 tis. If the probability was lower than that, then he’d only be able to afford to try it out one more ti when he had one million points to spare.
Another one, then!
Awakening failed!
His eyelids twitched. This System was brutal enough to not even wait a second before giving him another failure.
“Keep going!”
Awakening failed!
“...”
Awakening failed!
...
There was no one below the Black Cliff, yet bubbles suddenly appeared in the lake.
His face was already red, as he’d failed his seventh try at the bottom of the lake.
He’d tried throwing an Awakening Stone in every place he thought might have good Feng Shui to where the only place that remained was the bottom of the Black Lake.
He prayed devoutly for quite so ti, then threw an Awakening Stone at the pool yet again.
Awakening failed!
“F**k!”
Having had enough, he viciously threw another stone in his hand into the Awakening Pool, then shot forward out of the lake.
Fresh air shot into his nostrils, and he took the mont to check the Information Bar.
Awakening succeeded!
Strengthen (Awakening: Raging Giant)!
He was very shocked.
Boom, boom, boom!
Over a dozen craters appeared on the ground, and he looked like an ape in so mountain as he beat his chest in utter joy.
“Raging Giant. What’s this thing?” His face was all red as he lay in a crater and then bent Hiding Pain into a U-shape.
“Never mind. If a System that’s so awful at naming gave the skill a na with such a temper, then the awakening effect must be sothing decent.
“I wonder if I’ll turn into a giant when I get attacked, eh?”
His eyes widened, as he was unable to believe what had popped into his head: Attack on Titan.
“Can’t do. But I probably need to order more clothes just in case.”
Huff.
He took a deep breath and yet another one. “Sh**, calm down already!”
He forcefully cald himself down and climbed out of the crater.
Passive Points: 88666.
The awakening of that one skill had cost him 90000 passive points, which was within the range he found acceptable.
He wanted to reserve 50000 points for “Sword Technique Expertise,” but then he figured he would get frustrated unless he did sothing with his remaining points.
“Well, since I’ve decided to take it slow and easy, I’ll just leave 10000 points, then, and I can use my knowledge to figure sothing out and get myself out of a pinch at critical monts.”
He took a look at “Agility.” Undoubtedly, the passive skill had the potential to rival “Strengthen.”
Agility (Master Lv.1)
His body moved and he felt like he was flying, which shocked him.
He looked ahead of him.
Swoop!
The distance of several hundred ters was covered in an instant.
“Holy sh**! This is frickin’ teleportation, man!”
