Lufeng nodded, feeling confident after understanding the use of Shattered Void, and did not continue with the nonsense.
Twenty seconds later, the Life-and-Death Chess Game officially began. A white chess piece appeared first, and Lufeng quickly summoned a monkey. After using the Heavenly Spirit Pill to enhance some basic stats, he walked towards the chess piece.
The chess piece was quite large, a round stone ball with a diameter of over one meter, appearing at the intersection of four small squares.
Lufeng calmed his mind and began Gathering Energy. Since he could execute Bursting Qi to attack in Shattered Void, Lufeng planned to thoroughly test the Vital Energy Control Technique.
Once his mind was at peace, Lufeng enhanced his sensory functions, striving to feel the changes within himself. Gradually, the outline of his body became clear in his consciousness, revealing red Fire Attribute and green poisonous Vital Energy gathering towards him.
With Gathering Energy complete, Lufeng concentrated the energy in his Dantian. Then, he released it; as the Vital Energy became visible to the naked eye, Lufeng unleashed it directly onto the chess piece.
“-2500”
Seeing such high damage left Lufeng somewhat stunned. This was without even using any skills; if he applied skills on top of this, he would be thrilled.
He had taken away a quarter of the chess piece's health in one hit; with just four hits, he could destroy a chess piece relying solely on his own strength.
Estimating the time it took for him to complete Gathering Energy, Gathering Qi, and then Bursting Qi, Lufeng realized it took about five seconds. This was somewhat disappointing because skilled players could release each skill with just a thought during cooldowns, effectively making them instant casts. Once a skill was off cooldown, combining skill attacks with normal attacks could potentially destroy a chess piece within ten seconds.
Having succeeded once, Lufeng did not become complacent but continued to repeat Gathering Energy, Gathering Qi, and Bursting Qi, striving to achieve instant casting level one day.
“-2500”
“-800”
“-0”
“-1300”
……
Lufeng's attacks were very stable, hitting every five seconds, while the pet monkey attacked once per second on average. Although sometimes it missed Hit pieces, the total damage dealt within five seconds was higher than Lufeng's attacks.
As a result, Lufeng managed to destroy a piece in about ten seconds solely based on personal strength, earning over 5000 Experience. This excited Lufeng, as the original amount of over two thousand Experience doubled due to the effect of the Heavenly Spirit Pill, instantly leveling up to level 30 (1314/123624).
“Ding!”
System Notification: Dear Player, congratulations on reaching level 30. You have gained one Potential Point, which can be freely allocated to your basic attributes.
Current available quests:
Go to Suzhou to find Wu Jie to receive “Punishment of the Evil”
Go to Suzhou to find Qian Hongyu to receive “Chain Quest”
Go to Dali to find Zhao the Master to receive “Gusu Murong (Story Quest)
……
A series of quest notifications appeared, which Lufeng was quite familiar with. After briefly scanning through them, he allocated one Potential Point to Mobility.
Increasing Mobility affects Dodge, Hit, and Critical Hit. As a Carefree Disciple, Lufeng naturally focused entirely on increasing Mobility. Initially, like other Newbie players, he thought that Xiaoyao was an Internal Attack class and allocated everything to Spirit Energy, which later proved ineffective in amplifying during 【Stream Mountain Journey】.
Later on, Lufeng began researching attribute allocation. Both Xiaoyao and Beggar's Sect had the highest bonuses from Dodge, so they naturally followed a full Mobility route, maximizing improvements in Dodge, Critical Hit, and Hit.
Murong's attribute bonuses are highest in Internal Attack and Dodge. The 'Old Bird' will still follow the Mobility route, while only Newbies will take the Spirit Energy route or distribute evenly between Spirit Energy and Mobility.
Shaolin prioritizes blood, known as the Blood Cow, gaining 70 health and 8.25 external defense from a single point of Stamina. However, it has the lowest Dodge, and adding Mobility is clearly an unwise choice. Therefore, Qin Shou can only follow the Blood Cow route, fully investing in Stamina, which is the best option.
Ming Jiao focuses on external attack, gaining 8.25 external attack from one point of strength, but has the lowest internal and external defense. Nonetheless, Aunt Wang and Gao Chao continue to pursue a full strength path.
Wudang excels in Internal Attack with considerable control, naturally maximizing Spirit Energy.
Emei prioritizes internal power; internal power affects Qi, and healing requires a large amount of Qi. However, this can be compensated by high Blood Sacrifice Baby to make up for the lack of Qi. Although one point of Stamina only adds 50 health, it is still essential to fully invest in Stamina for optimal results.
Heavenly Dragon has the highest Hit rate, making it suitable for the Mobility route. Tianshan can both attack and defend, with Internal Attack being the highest, yet the Old Birds still choose the Mobility route.
The last one, Starry Lodge, is unique as it prioritizes Internal Defense. Adding points is not easy; Old Birds will choose to invest entirely in physique to maximize the synergy of Starry Lodge's symbiotic pet.
Attribute allocation plays a crucial role in a player's growth. As one progresses further into the game, random attribute allocation can lead to failure unless compensated with a large number of high-level gems. However, against players with similarly high-level gems, one will still be at a disadvantage.
Returning to the main story, after a piece's health drops to zero, it shatters into pieces and is subsequently refreshed.
After completing Bursting Qi twice, Lufeng felt that the second completion was slightly faster than the first. Although it was only a few seconds faster, it excited Lufeng nonetheless.
After waiting for 10 seconds following a 20-second interval since the last piece refreshed, a second piece appeared. This time it was a black piece; as long as the refresh time does not exceed one minute from the last piece's refresh, Chess Soul will not appear.
With the monkey's assistance, Lufeng continued to fight. This time, the monkey delivered a powerful Critical Hit that destroyed the black piece in just 8 seconds.
The attack released by Vital Energy Control Technique was quite effective; Lufeng generally eliminated each piece within about 10 seconds. After defeating one piece, he had to wait around 10 seconds for the next piece to refresh. Chess Soul had no chance to appear, so there was no need to face a low-experience Chess Soul.
During this waiting period, Lufeng did not waste this training opportunity and continuously repeated Gathering Energy, Gathering Qi, and Bursting Qi. He completed an average of one every 5 seconds, allowing him to finish 12 times in one minute.
After defeating 20 chess pieces, Lufeng leveled up again, completing 80 instances of Bursting Qi, reaching level 31 (1457/144270), surpassing Royal Beauty once more.
"Damn it, what's the point of surpassing at this time!" Lufeng was extremely frustrated.
What frustrated Lufeng even more was that Vital Energy could not be applied to skills, because after each Bursting Qi, Lufeng's energy could not sustain the skill's consumption. This meant that every attack from Lufeng was just a regular Bursting Qi and not a true skill attack.
Lufeng now had over 1600 Internal Attack power. The attack released by Bursting Qi was twice that of a skill player's attack. Since it was still a normal attack, the damage from Lufeng's Bursting Qi was over 3000. After deducting the chess pieces' defense, there was still over 2000 damage left, which was quite impressive. The only downside for Lufeng was that the consumption time was too long; he could only slowly increase his proficiency to speed up his skill attacks.
After defeating 20 chess pieces, the refresh rate of the chess pieces increased as well. Originally, it took 10 seconds to refresh after defeating one piece, but now it refreshed after five or six seconds.
Lufeng continued to repeat Gathering Energy, Gathering Qi, and Bursting Qi, completing 60 instances of Bursting Qi and eliminating the remaining 15 chess pieces. Soon, the delightful sound of the System echoed in Lufeng's ears.
"Ding!"
System Notification: Dear Player, congratulations! Your proficiency in Gathering Energy has increased by 90 points. You have completed Gathering Energy. Your energy cap has increased by 9000. The current proficiency of Gathering Qi is 0/1000.
Lufeng was initially stunned and took a while to recover from his joy. It took him half an hour in Songshan to increase by just 10 points, but here it took less than half an hour to increase by 90 points. With proficiency reaching 100%, just Gathering Energy alone increased his energy cap by 10,000. It was truly amazing.
Just as Lufeng wanted to check his attributes, the Ancient Chess Soul appeared, floating in mid-air and drifting towards Lufeng like a ghost.
