Wang Lu's expression turned cold. Without a word, much less a taunt, he acted decisively, swinging his gaze and pushing every technique he possessed to its limit as he smashed toward Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng did not budge. He planted the Sakast Imperial Sword before him, an icy gleam piercing from his eyes.
Burning Rage!
Mana -300! Attack speed +2.0/s! Movement speed +4.0 m/s! Attack +20!
Flames surged from Zhou Heng's body. A glint of cold steel arrived first, followed by a spray of blood.
Wang Lu froze in place mid-swing, his eyes wide and his face filled with disbelief.
"Burning Rage!!"
"You... who... exactly..."
"That movement speed... attack speed... I... can't accept this..."
"I... finally reached 70 max. Why..."
His eyes full of defiance, Wang Lu tried to turn his head to look at Zhou Heng, who had killed him in a single strike. But his body would not obey. Blood sprayed as he fell helplessly to the ground.
[This was a perfect, noble, and elegant duel] [Congratulations to player "Zhou Heng" on your victory] [You have obtained all the loser's resources]
With the notifications, Wang Lu, the level 70 Sealer, dropped a massive haul, scattering all kinds of resources across the ground.
Copper coins x30,000,000 One skill book Three blank sheets of paper One robe equipment item Revival Coins x2
Zhou Heng carefully counted the resources Wang Lu had dropped upon death.
Vast Golden Body (???) Quality: Simple True Damage Reduction +100 Learning requirement one: Swallow 100 portions of Silver Crystal Learning requirement two: Kill a unit more than 10 levels above your own
"So this is the skill system of a level 70 powerhouse? Right off the bat, it's the legendary true damage system."
Zhou Heng did not know what Silver Crystal was, but as long as he knew the learning requirements, he would certainly have a way to meet them.
No matter what, he had to get that 100 True Damage Reduction. Only by developing in every area could he go further in the Boundless Endless World.
Zhou Heng looked at the second drop.
White Paper Quality: Common This appeared to be nothing more than a simple, unwritten sheet of white paper.
The three sheets of White Paper were all separate. Other than being white, they had no use.
But Zhou Heng did not believe a level 70 Sealer would carry three useless sheets of White Paper.
Zhou Heng decided to keep an eye on this unknown item and put it into the Brilliant Backpack.
But the next second, a notification startled him.
[You cannot place White Paper into your backpack] [You need more than 10,000 slots to store it]
Zhou Heng's pupils contracted sharply. Looking at the three sheets of White Paper in his hand, he immediately understood their value.
A single sheet of paper needed ten thousand slots to store. This was no ordinary white paper, but definitely a resource hiding a great secret.
Carefully tucking the three sheets close to his body, Zhou Heng picked up the robe.
Crimson Robe Level: 40 Quality: Brilliant A robe forged from a Crimson Long Robe, beloved by countless mages. Sealing coefficient +10% Enchantment one: Mana Value recovery +1%/s Enchantment two: Mana Value +30,000 Equipment requirement: Level 40
It was a very good Brilliant robe, but unfortunately, he could not equip it.
Besides these drops, there was also a backpack nearby. Barring any surprises, it was the backpack Wang Lu had used while alive.
The backpack had 99 x 99 slots, just like the one he used.
The difference was that every slot in Wang Lu's backpack was stuffed with a resource called "Moon Deer Grass."
Moon Deer Grass Quality: Precious Shines with moonlight, attracting Moonlight Deer
Zhou Heng guessed that Wang Lu had been preparing for a quest involving Moonlight Deer, which was why he had collected such an enormous quantity of Moon Deer Grass.
Unfortunately, killing Wang Lu had not dropped the related quest. Otherwise, he would have at least checked whether he could accept it.
With everything appraised, Zhou Heng checked his first advancement quest.
[You have completed the achievement "Will of Transcendence"] [You have killed the level 70 Sealer Wang Lu (erased)] [You have exceeded the requirements of the achievement "Will of Transcendence"] [Monster drops permanently +10%] [Extreme Long-Range Shooter has advanced to three stars] [Extreme Long-Range Shooter has advanced to four stars] [You have leveled up to level 11]
"The drop rate has been quantified directly? And my class even shot up to four stars?"
Zhou Heng was delighted. A four-star class was absolutely beyond comparison with a two-star one. Filled with anticipation, he opened his class panel.
Extreme Long-Range Shooter Star rank: ☆☆☆☆ Attribute growth +300% Additional attribute growth +200% Extreme Long-Range Vision (+): With no obstructions, your vision can reach up to 30 kilometers Extreme Long-Range Shooting (+): Your arrow attack range has increased from 500 meters to 30 kilometers Extreme Long-Range Tracking: When you lock onto an enemy, your attacks will pursue that enemy indefinitely within shooting range Blood Pump: Within 1 second, you can temporarily convert all attributes into attack/magic; afterward, you enter a 30-second period of weakness (all attributes reduced to 1) Archer's Discipline: You will no longer need arrows; everything in the world can be your arrows
Compared with two stars, four stars gave Zhou Heng far too many pleasant surprises.
Whether it was the improvement to Extreme Long-Range Vision or Extreme Long-Range Shooting, the increase was enormous.
But what truly delighted Zhou Heng was that his attribute growth had increased from the original 150% to 500%.
This meant that he could now obtain an additional 350% in base attributes.
From level 1 to level 11, there had been ten increases in total, granting ten random attribute points.
The additional 350% in attribute points amounted to 35 random attribute points.
Soon, those additional 350% attribute points were randomly distributed among his attributes, bringing a qualitative leap to all of Zhou Heng's attributes.
True name: Zhou Heng Level: 11 Attack: 123.5-247 Magic: 500-1000 Health: 590/590 Mana: 10560/10560 Armor: 0 Attack speed: 1.0/s Movement speed: 1.2 m/s Water damage reduction: 50 Fire damage reduction: 50 Wind damage reduction: 50 Lightning damage reduction: 50 Ice damage reduction: 50 Wood damage reduction: 50 Light damage reduction: 50 Dark damage reduction: 50 Experience: 0/100 (only killing level 11 units can grant experience now) Fate Hint (unique): When you face a choice of fate, fate will give you a tangible hint
These were Zhou Heng's base attributes without any equipment equipped.
Looking only at attack and health, he might fall short of developed Longevity Family players. But when it came to magic and Mana Value, Zhou Heng felt he should be able to crush Longevity Family players of the same level.
All he lacked now was a mana-restoring skill or piece of equipment, along with a corresponding set of skills.
Of course, if the various attributes of the four-star class "Extreme Long-Range Shooter" were included, Zhou Heng's physical damage options were also formidable indeed.
Even setting everything else aside, the unlimited arrows provided by "Archer's Discipline" alone were enough for him to unleash the power of the Flood Dragon Horn Bow.
"Next, it's time to leave Little Bird Town and head to Frost City!"
"I just don't know whether this trip will be safe."
