Looking at the three drops before him, Xiao Jie could not help but feel conflicted.
All three drops were highly valuable. Every single one was good.
Blade Parry was undoubtedly a powerful skill if used well—a god-tier ability for dealing with Physical Classes in the early game. The only problem was that it demanded a high level of skill. Simple parrying was already difficult enough; Blade Parry would definitely be even more complicated and require even more precise timing. After all, Blade Parry only worked in that brief instant. Miss it, and he would be taking a blade.
The item that permanently increased Enlightenment by 1 point was even more valuable. In the long run, it might have been the most valuable of the three.
After all, equipment could be replaced, but permanently increased attributes would continue to be useful forever.
Xiao Jie had experienced the enormous benefits brought by Enlightenment. If he could raise his Enlightenment above 20 points, it would mean he could permanently maintain the first level of Enlightenment, potentially comprehending new skills anytime and anywhere. That would be insanely powerful—benefits without end.
