Advanced Point Correction
The upgrade brought healing and nourishment, instantly curing Luo Jun's injuries. At the same time, Luo Jun brought up the Dice of Heavenly Secrets panel.
After this upgrade, he finally reached level 50, a crucial milestone!
"Please choose to draw a new skill or upgrade an existing skill."
Luo Jun can now upgrade two skills: one is to More Opportunities the number of dice rolls, and the other is Luo Jun long-awaited skill: Point Correction!
Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Jun chose to upgrade to the Intermediate Point Correction, obtaining the final upgraded version of Point Correction!
Advanced Point Correction:
Effect 1: When using the Dice of Heavenly Secrets, you can choose to correct the roll result positively or negatively, up to a maximum of five points!
Effect 2: You have five chances each day to adjust the result of rolling the Dice of Heavenly Secrets, either forwards or backwards, up to a maximum of ten points! (This effect can be stacked with Effect 1.)
Effect 3: You have three chances per day to adjust the result of rolling the Dice of Heavenly Secrets forward or backward, up to a maximum of fifteen points! (This effect can be stacked with Effect 1 and Effect 2.)
Effect 4: You can choose whether to use Point Correction after the dice roll result is displayed!
Compared to the previous Intermediate Point Correction, the words for this Advanced Point Correction, like the Double Insurance obtained at level 30, are also gold!
This means that this is an Advanced Skill!
And judging from the actual results, it truly lives up to its reputation as Advanced Skill!
First, the number of times effect two can be applied has increased, meaning that the number of times the 15-point bonus can be applied has increased from three times per day to five times!
Then there's the newly added effect three, which provides an extra 15 points three times a day. This is the most representative effect of Advanced Point Correction. When combined with the first two effects, you can get a maximum of 30 points three times a day!
With Luo Jun's current level eight luck, plus thirty points of advanced correction, and Double Insurance, he can basically be said to be invincible!
However, that's not all. At the very bottom, there's an additional effect four, which allows you to choose whether to use the correction ability after the result of the roll!
It's important to understand that previous correction abilities had to be selected simultaneously with the roll. Sometimes, the base score was sufficient, so correction wasn't necessary. Other times, the score was far off, and correction was useless... This resulted in many instances of wasted correction opportunities.
The appearance of this fourth effect completely avoids this phenomenon, ensuring that every Point Correction is used effectively!
Furthermore, due to the skill upgrade, the previously used Point Correction has been refreshed!
Of course, once you acquire a new ability, the most important thing is to improve your own attributes!
Extract attributes from level 49, use Advanced Point Correction, and the three effects are stacked!
Extract level 50 attributes, use Advanced Point Correction, and stack the three effects!
The dice were rolled four times, and the results were 10, 4, 10, and 9!
That's an absolutely perfect hand!
Including the 30 points from the Advanced Point Correction, a total of 80 attribute points have been gained!
Level: 50 (223/5100)
Strength: 330 points
Sensitivity: 289 points
Perception: 283 points

Each attribute has improved to some extent. Although the improvement is not significant compared to the huge base, it still gives us a better chance of winning.
Luo Jun looked at the Saint's Remains in front of him, and just as his eyes met them, another notification sounded in his mind.
"Triggering the quest ' Kill the Saint's Remains '"
"Mission Difficulty: 100 points."
Severity Coefficient: 12 times.
"Mission Consume: Seven uses."
"Mission Quota: 18 uses."
"Accept or not?"
The task has been activated?
Luo Jun frowned, calculating for a moment: there were still three Intermediate Modification and one advanced-level correction left...
After considering it for a moment, he chose no...
The difficulty level is 100. This Mission Difficulty. If you bet all the dice and fail, you won't get any experience back. But now he has an extra life, so even if he fails, he has another chance to try. If he runs out of dice and hasn't improved himself, his chances of winning will be very slim...
This isn't just a matter of confidence; it's about using the best resources where they're most needed!
After he made his decision, the Time Flow Rate returned to normal, and the Saint's Remains on the other side launched another fierce attack!
It was incredibly fast! So fast that Luo Jun couldn't even react in time!
However, having already learned from his previous experience, Luo Jun made a prediction in advance based on the opponent's attack trajectory!
Dodge!
Whoosh! The Saint's Remains grazed past Luo Jun, the wind pressure they generated even disturbing his internal energy. But Luo Jun didn't rush to counterattack, because as soon as his opponent's attack missed, he turned around and pounced, delivering a Whip Kick that swept across like a broadsword!
Luo Jun dodged again, but remained fully focused and vigilant, showing no intention of retaliating!
The attack from the Saint's Remains missed, but without hesitation, he smoothly turned around and used the momentum to raise his leg and chop down.
Luo Jun seemed to have been prepared, crouching low and quickly dodging the attack.
The Saint's Remains stomped on the ground, shattering bricks and stones. The powerful recoil propelled his body forward, hurtling towards Luo Jun!
Luo Jun, who had just retreated and regained his footing, dodged sideways again, narrowly missing the Saint's Remains. But at that moment, the remains suddenly twisted their bodies, their spines folding at an angle that no ordinary person could do, and swung their two arms like two whips, lashing out at Luo Jun!
This move was truly unexpected for him. Without prior warning, dodging was difficult, so he had no choice but to activate the dice!
"Ding, Event Difficulty 83 points, Final Points 78 points. Use Point Correction?"
Good heavens, this was a perfect timing! Luo Jun decisively used the basic correction and barely succeeded. The fingertip of the Saint's Remains sliced through the qi and grazed his throat!
"Event successful. Base experience points: 83. Severity factor: 8x. Final experience points: 664!"
The Severity Coefficient is only eight? If this attack had hit, it should have slit his throat, right? Normally, it should be a maximum Severity Coefficient of twelve... but it's only eight, which suggests that they took into account his backup plan—the ability to revive...
Relieved to have escaped unscathed, Luo Jun continued to observe his opponent. The Saint's Remains, having missed its attack, didn't seem in a hurry to continue, but instead "scrutinized" Luo Jun with its empty eye sockets, slowly pacing back and forth...
After a brief exchange, Luo Jun had roughly figured out the three key points of this challenge.
First, this place is protected by some Mysterious Power. It looks like just ordinary rocks, but its strength is actually astonishing. This means that even with the terrifying power of Luo Jun and the Saint's Remains, it would be difficult to cause large-scale damage to the place. You can fight freely and also use the solid ground to unleash your ultimate speed!

Secondly, the Saint's Remains have lost their soul and consciousness, and now fight entirely on instinct. Their attacks are clearly intentional and they don't use tricks or schemes. Rather than trying to out-react them, it's wiser to rely on prediction and dodging... However, this guy sometimes uses counterintuitive moves that are beyond Luo Jun's expectations. That's when the Dice of Heavenly Secrets comes in handy!
As for defense, this monster has no awareness of defense or dodging, but it will decisively attack any enemy that gets close, completely using a strategy of trading injury for injury! With Luo Jun's current abilities, it is almost impossible to hit the Saint's Remains while dodging the opponent's attacks, so if you are not sure that you will get enough results, it is best not to attack lightly.
Third, the Saint's Remains are very powerful, extremely powerful!
Although he appeared to be nothing more than a withered body, and Luo Jun couldn't even see any trace of his internal energy on him, the strength he displayed was even greater than Luo Jun's when his internal energy was fully activated! He was faster, stronger, and could even easily cut through Luo Jun's proudly displayed Gathering Origin Protective Qi with just his physical body!
If this is truly just physical strength, then the Root Bone of the Saint's Remains is clearly many times stronger than Luo Jun's!
But Luo Jun didn't think so... because he keenly sensed that the speed and power of the Saint's Remains in those few moves were slightly less than when he first entered the arena...
At first, Luo Jun thought it was because his attributes had improved, but just now, when the fingertip of the Saint's Remains brushed against his throat, he sensed something different...
He improved his Root Bone and mental capacity, but his Foundation Establishment Realm level did not increase, and the strength of his internal energy did not change!
However, when the Saint's Remains cut through his protective aura, it was noticeably less smooth than the first time. His attack was slowed down by the protective aura, which allowed Luo Jun to barely dodge...
It's important to understand that this attack was completely unexpected by Luo Jun. In terms of dodging difficulty, it should have been significantly higher than the previous one, even exceeding ninety points wouldn't be surprising. However, the final dice roll showed that the two were roughly the same in difficulty, which, besides indicating that Luo Jun had become stronger, also meant that the Saint's Remains had indeed weakened!
What caused him to become weaker?
Luo Jun glanced at his right fist, feeling the golden essence circulating within his body, protecting the origin of his life...
It is the Saint Essence!
The energy driving this monster's movement must be the Saint Essence! It is this energy, different from the qi, that gives it such great power, but at the same time, as the Saint Essence is lost, the Saint's Remains will become weaker and weaker!
That was the key to his victory!
As long as you keep observing, looking for weaknesses, and accumulating damage to disperse the Saint Essence within it, its power will gradually weaken, and there will eventually be a time when Luo Jun can complete the challenge!
But that's not possible right now...
This monster is far stronger than him. In the battle, a slight mistake could result in serious injury or even death. Luo Jun's current strategy is to try to anticipate the monster's movements and figure out its fighting style and attack patterns!
Every human being has behavioral preferences, habits accumulated over countless years. Even if consciousness is lost, these habits will not disappear! In fact, because it has lost its brain, this Saint's Remains wouldn't even try to hide these behavioral habits. Once Luo Jun can decipher them, he is confident he can take down this guy!
So, for the rest of the time, Luo Jun focused almost entirely on dodging and maneuvering, not seeking to retaliate, but only hoping to see through all the moves of the Saint's broken body!
However, as a super strong person who was likely at the Ascension Realm in his previous life, how could he be so easily understood!
The Saint's Remains are full of various moves, with a diverse style. They also often use unconventional and counterintuitive moves to attack from unexpected angles. Whenever this happens, Luo Jun can only use the dice to defend himself.
Thanks to Luo Jun's high Luck Level and Double Insurance function, he managed to hold his own against the remnant of the Saint for nearly ten minutes, during which he used the dice three more times, and succeeded each time!
But even now, after hundreds of moves, Luo Jun still hasn't figured out all the patterns!
What kind of monster was this Saint's Remains in life? How many more tricks did he not use?
Just as Luo Jun was getting a little irritated, the Saint's Remains used a move he had never used before. A hand chop that he had dodged suddenly stretched out its arm and stabbed towards Luo Jun's throat!
Oh no!
Dice of Heavenly Secrets!
Get out of the way!
"Ding, Final Points: 43, Event Difficulty: 85. Would you like to use the Point Correction?"
It's finally here!
Luck won't always be on his side; he finally rolled a low number, and even with Advanced Point Correction, it couldn't save him!
Can I Regret?
No... it's not time yet. Some skills need to be preserved!
Thinking this through, Luo Jun gritted his teeth, made no attempt to struggle, and resigned himself to his fate...
Sharp fingertips pierced his throat, followed by a barrage of attacks from the Saint's Remains...
When Luo Jun came to his senses again, he found himself floating above the arena, with the Saint's Remains sitting cross-legged below him.
As expected, we had to start over!
At the same time, a message came to his mind: he would enter the arena in ten minutes to begin the next round of battle!
They even gave us some rest time, which is quite considerate.
Luo Jun looked inward and found that the essence that had protected his life source had disappeared. Looking at the arena, the area that he and the Saint's Remains had damaged in the previous round was being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It seems that these ten minutes weren't entirely his rest time...
Taking advantage of this moment, Luo Jun stared at the unactivated Saint's Remains and began to review the previous experience, summarizing the guy's extraordinary abilities.
In general, it still relies solely on hand-to-hand combat, but although it looks very human, its body structure is clearly different from humans... What is currently confirmed is that its joints have a greater range of motion than humans, its spine can twist at incredible angles, and its limbs can extend to a certain extent. Moreover, although it cannot be seen now, a long, thin tail is actually hidden in its loose trouser legs...
That's all I know for now; I don't know if we can survive this round.
Luo Jun mentally replayed the previous battle over and over again. As the ten minutes were up, he was finally sent back to the arena...
