Pure Data

Just kidding, Su Luo's simple Spell model has long been Optimization to the extreme, and there is no pre-cast or post-cast animation at all.

In reality, Su Luo can unleash dozens or even hundreds of spells in a row with a simple wave of her hand. Her true spells are cast at will, while the casting speed and scale of low-level Spells always depend on her Mana recovery speed and Mana cap.

Only after entering the Trait Dungeon did I briefly experience the pre-cast and post-cast animations.

However, with the new powerful wand, Su Luo no longer has a cast time for Flame Spear; there's only a 0.01-second delay. Currently, the only factors limiting casting speed are Dharma Power regeneration speed and maximum Dharma Power.

Su Luo and Layton continued their ascent deeper into the cave. Whenever they encountered a dead end, they would forcefully clear a path, often finding a new route after blasting through several hundred meters.

They chose to explore downwards for a simple reason: the deeper they went, the stronger the monsters became, and the more gold they dropped upon defeating them. Meanwhile, the monsters on the upper levels had been almost entirely cleared out.

Layton waved his wand, unleashing a barrage of magical projectiles that blasted several monsters to death. He quickly switched wands, casting [Teleport Bullet] to teleport and precisely dodge the barrage of attacks.

After collecting the gold, his gaze turned to Su Luo, who was making a bigger commotion.

A sphere composed of over thirty layers of crimson shields is slowly rotating. Each shield flashes on and off with precise rhythm, maintaining a Perfect balance between disappearing and appearing.

At one end of the sphere, blazing fireballs and Flame Spears poured out like a torrential rain, saturating any monster that dared to attack Su Luo with firepower.

Faced with the monster's counterattack, Su Luo did not dodge at all, letting the attacks land on her shield. Even if the shield was occasionally broken, it would be quickly replaced by a new one.

It was truly a thrilling and exhilarating Spell clash.

With her incredibly fast casting speed, Su Luo's attacks were endless, a series of attacks flying out like they were free, killing all the monsters. At the same time, defensive Spells were layered on top of each other, allowing her to withstand all the attacks.

He simultaneously plays the roles of Spell turret and Spell Barricade.

As for why offensive Spells and defensive Spells appear together...

It's very simple. Su Luo has two magic wands, one equipped with only offensive Spells and the other with only defensive Spells. They are divided into offensive and defensive wands. As long as you are fast enough in actual combat and switch between them properly, you can attack while stacking shields.

The Dungeon rules allow each player to carry four wands simultaneously, enabling this kind of multi-tactical combination. As long as your hand speed and wand switching are fast enough, you can execute this kind of coordinated attack.

"Wait a minute, that's not right. His staff attack animation has a total of 0.51 seconds of recovery time, and his Spell animation has a total of 0.03 seconds of recovery time. Even if we don't count his own recovery time, theoretically he shouldn't be able to cast more than two spells per second, right? How did he manage to cast eight spells per second?"

Layton was confused.

"Could his personal pre-rock and post-rock be negative?"

Having single-handedly defeated a hundred monsters, Su Luo ceased her attack, leaving only layers of shields Jingjing floating around her.

Su Luo herself was quite satisfied. "That was great, that was great."

In reality, there aren't that many opportunities for Spell clashes. There's no calculation of damage and defense. Often, if Su Luo's Spell can break through the defense, the monster is killed outright. If Su Luo's Spell can't break through the defense, she switches to a stronger destructive Spell, and the monster is killed outright again.

Not to mention giving the monsters a chance to attack Su Luo's defensive Spells; the Laboratory is not just for show, its mobility is ridiculously high.

Capable of long-range, precise, and lethal attacks, who in reality would give you the chance for a dogfight?

"Come on, Scholar, tell me, what's your special effect? Does it greatly reduce the startup and recovery animations?" Layton, who had calculated it again, still couldn't figure it out and recited his special effect.

Su Luo strolled leisurely into the depths of the cave, where a red, heart-shaped crystal floated.

"My special effect is: Fire Element Enthusiast: Immune to fire damage below 30, and fire damage calculation is reduced by 30 points."

Your Health Points has been increased to "900"

A system notification sounded, and the temporary panel values changed accordingly, but Su Luo did not feel any substantial changes in her body.

"This temporary panel is indeed just pure data," Su Luo complained. "It has no actual effect on the participants' bodies. I was hoping to experience the feeling of my Health Points increasing."

Su Luo and Layton had previously exchanged information about Constitution Attribute and Health Points, and discovered Attribute Health Points were linked to Constitution.

Su Luo was also wondering if the increase in Health Points would temporarily boost his Constitution Attribute, allowing him to collect data on higher Constitution Attributes for future research.

"None of that matters, bro. I've discovered something truly terrifying, and you have to answer me straight, you son of Goushi! Is your personal modulator's pre- and post-rocking negative?!"

"Um. Aren't you one?"

"What the heck! This Trait Dungeon isn't just for you, is it?!"

"What a terrible Dungeon! This Trait Dungeon is way too friendly to magic-based classes. My advantage of Attribute strength has been completely wiped out, and I can't even use my items!"

Gai Li Darwin waved his wand, and soon a deformed, terrifying Fist appeared, smashing the monster in front of him away with a single punch.

"Damn it! My normal attacks in real life have turned into Spells [Fists ]! The Survival System is a complete bitch! I can throw hundreds of punches in a second! But here I have to wait for the cooldown to use a normal attack!"

After his rampage, Gai Li Darwin entered an ancient building and purchased a wand to increase his casting speed. He also experimented with new special Spells, acquiring both a defensive staff and an offensive staff.

[Splitting]

[Splits the next Spell into three parts, but each part is less Spell.]

[Dharma Power Cost: 5]

[Reduced Spread]

[Reduce the scattering of projectiles]

[...]

After combining several special Spells with his own offensive Spells, Gai Li Darwin raised his new wand and cast a spell.

Three smaller, fleshy Fists roared out, shooting straight into the distance. Half a second later, three more Fists followed closely behind.

"Huh? The initial and subsequent animations are fine, but the Dharma Power regeneration speed is lagging behind again. Ugh, this is so troublesome."

Gai Li Darwin cast spells everywhere, making a mess of the surrounding terrain like a pig rooting up weeds.

As a Forbidden Class practitioner—[Lord of Flesh], Gai Li Darwin's strength and Constitution Attributes have both reached their maximum value of 20.

He came full of confidence to acquire the special features, but he never expected to encounter such frustrating Dungeon rules.

Strength Attribute is useless; a maximum of 20 points in Constitution only gives him 3200 initial Health Points.

"It's hopeless this time. Please give me a better Trait Dungeon next time, please."

Muttering to himself, Gai Li Darwin looked up and saw a faint flickering light in the distance.
