Path to Success
"The mission 'Defeat Yuan Shouzhen ' has been completed."
"Mission Difficulty 90 points, Severity Coefficient 12, final reward 1080 chips."
"Dice were used 18 times during the mission, earning a total of Experience Points points!"
Congratulations on leveling up!
"Please extract Attribute Points!"
Luo Jun had guessed that he would gain a lot of experience this time, but he didn't expect it to be more than 6,000 points, which allowed him to level up again!
That makes sense. Although he succeeded in about half of those eighteen attempts, each event was extremely difficult and Severity Coefficient, averaging six or seven hundred experience points, which gave him a huge amount of experience!
However, with the Intermediate Point Correction gone, Luo Jun wasn't in a hurry to draw attributes, but instead focused on his chips.
I had 2770 chips before, and in order to prevent my Master from being resurrected, I spent 500 chips to draw a Life-Death Coin. Then, I just completed the mission and got another 1080 chips, so now I have a total of 3350 chips.
That's enough for a Super Big Lucky Bag!
According to the rules, even the worst item you can get from the Super Big Lucky Bag is an Epic item, and with good luck, you might even get Myth item!
Luo Jun bought the lucky bag with high hopes, but unfortunately, the draw couldn't be determined by dice; he could only leave it to fate...
As a melodious tune played, a golden light shone forth!
It's... legendary quality!
With excitement, Luo Jun looked at the jet-black bracelet that had appeared before him.
Name: The Path to Success
Rank: Legendary
Effect 1: Luck Level by one when worn.
Effect Two: Confidence in Failure: One chance per day to offset the additional consequences of Great Failure.
Effect Three: The Shortcut to Success - the criteria for Great Success has been changed to "rolling a result higher than 90 when the Event Difficulty is no higher than 50".
Note: My success is simply because I'm a little bit luckier than others.
It's equipment, not a consumable!
Luo Jun excitedly picked up the bracelet; this was the first piece of equipment he had acquired since the Wealth Ring!
Moreover, the effect is indeed powerful. Not to mention the +1 to Luck Level, which is definitely better the higher it is, Luo Jun is now at level seven, can already feel a noticeable difference.
As for the Confidence in Failure, with Luo Jun's current Double Insurance, the probability of rolling Great Failure is extremely low, but the possibility of bad luck cannot be ruled out. This special effect basically eliminates that last bit of probability. With one chance per day, it can be said that he will say goodbye to Great Failure from now on.
Let's look at the third effect, the Shortcut to Success. This directly expands the original conditions for achieving Great Success. Originally, it required more than 95 points, but now it requires 90 points. In other words, the probability of achieving Great Success has doubled.
It can be said that this bracelet lives up to its name, "Path to Success." All three effects are very useful, but apart from the first one, which increases Luck Level, the effects related to "Great Success" and "Great Failure" are not very versatile. Although it is worthy of the legendary grade, Luo Jun estimates that these effects are not particularly good among legendary items.
But it is equipment after all, and once you wear it, it will be effective permanently, which is much better than a one-time consumable! Luo Jun happily put the Path to Success on his right hand, and the bracelet quickly changed size to fit the dimensions of his wrist.
After receiving his prize, he focused his attention on his surging Inner Breath.
After breaking through the Eighth Floor, Luo Jun's cultivation slowed down again. However, in his battle with Old Yuan, he absorbed a large amount of vital energy and eventually exhausted all the resources he had stored in his Eight Trigrams Finger Tiger for many years!
It should be noted that Old Yuan was a renowned genius in the Yuanqi world back then. His physical Root Bone and spirituality were top-notch, and his basic Qi was more than twenty times that of ordinary people. In addition, the 128-fold increase in physical constitution brought by the seventh level of Root Bone Seven-Layer Body-Tempering Art, and the doubling of Qi after the Seventh Layer of Foundation Strengthening was cultivated to its limit, his total Qi must have been tens of thousands of breaths!
Before Luo Jun appeared, Old Yuan was recognized as the number one cultivator in the field of Vital Energy Cultivation!
Although Luo Jun's Root Bone was more than ten times that of Old Yuan, his spirituality was far inferior. Therefore, even if he broke through to the eighth level, his spiritual capacity was not much higher than that of Old Yuan. The primordial energy stored in the Eight Trigrams Finger Tiger was higher than Old Yuan's total spiritual capacity. After Luo Jun extracted it all, it almost filled the cultivation required for it to break through to the next level!
Luo Jun's meridians are now full and his vital energy is surging. However, he has only recently absorbed the energy and has not yet fully digested it. Given time, once he has completed the process, he should be close to breaking through.
I just don't know whether the conditions for the Foundation Establishment Realm will be met at that time, or if there will still be nine levels above the eighth level!
While Luo Jun was processing his Inner Breath energy, the outcome of the match was already decided on the stage. Old Yuan and Ottos appeared together. Ottos's eyes were dazed for a moment, but when he turned around, he saw Old Yuan with clear eyes.
"Yuan Shouzhen has come too?" he said, looking around and finding only Ye, who was wearing a mask.
"You defeated him that night?" Ottos's eyes showed shock.
Initially, thanks to Mu Ning's abilities, Zhuge Chi and Old Yuan were able to avoid each other on the field. However, Mu Ning made a misjudgment, causing the two to face off, which led to Zhuge Chi's defeat. Only then did the side that was in the right mind begin to collapse.
During this time, Ottos had seen countless times the scene of Old Yuan instantly defeating others on the stage, and knew how powerful the Old Man was. When Zhuge Chi failed, he completely gave up hope... But unexpectedly, when he came to his senses, he actually saw the sober Yuan Shouzhen!
"I'm old. I can handle other juniors, but I can't handle real masters. This young man Ye is exceptionally strong. He's so young and his cultivation is extraordinary. He's a genius that's only seen once in a hundred years in Zhendan... no, in the entire Main World!" Old Yuan said modestly, but his words were practically praising his disciple to the skies.
"A true master..." Ottos swallowed hard, thinking to himself, "You even killed Zhuge Chi, who was at his Peak. If that doesn't count as a true master, then how strong must this Ye be?"
Luo Jun understood his Master's intention. While secretly overjoyed, he maintained the cold demeanor of a master and casually waved his hand, saying, "Just lucky."
According to the rules, Old Yuan cannot play in the next match, and even if Ottos plays, there is no guarantee of a win, so the Teleportation Divine Rune is still handed over to Luo Jun.
When the time came, Luo Jun teleported onto the field. Standing opposite him was Ophelia, dressed in a baggy nun's cannon and with her head bowed.
"This girl..." Old Yuan frowned in the audience. "I met her when I came to [Utopia] for an exchange before. She gives off a very strange feeling... as if something extraordinary is hidden beneath her calm exterior..."
As he spoke, he looked at Ottos beside him. "How was her performance when she played before? What was her style?"
Ottos shrugged. "I went on stage before her, and I haven't seen her make a move."
"But there's no need to worry," Ottos laughed. "The fact that she was able to get to the other side means she must have lost to you or Zhuge Chi. Ye is stronger than you, so taking her down will be a piece of cake!"
Old Yuan's brow remained furrowed. Although his praise of Luo Jun was sincere, Old Yuan also knew that his disciple was still only at the Body Refinement Realm, and his limitations were too great. If the opponent was Martial Combat Faction focused on direct combat, that would be fine, but if he encountered a style with unpredictable techniques, he might not necessarily gain the upper hand...
