Chapter 543 - 543: Mystery Grade Lightfoot Skill (3)
Little did it know, before it could catch its breath, the man and beast that had left returned.
“Roar—!” A soft roar, weak enough to let anyone know of its frailty at the moment.
“Hehe!”
Zhao Yu chuckled softly, drew the long knife from his waist, and with a single swipe as he passed, the tiger’s head flew off, and dozens of coins scattered in a flash of white light.
With a casual scoop, he grabbed a handful of coins and continued running forward without looking back.
Behind him, the two-headed ox snake monster roared in anger, more furious than anyone else at the death of the saber-toothed tiger.
Of course, it wasn’t mourning the death of the saber-toothed tiger; it was frustrated at being led around so many times…
What made it feel even more powerless was that the person ahead was even faster, able to close the distance between them.
If it had autonomy, it would have given up the chase, knowing it was futile.
But constrained by the rules, it had no choice but to keep chasing until the man died…
“Not a bad harvest…”
Zhao Yu felt the increase in technology points in his mind and couldn’t help but smile.
Since waking up, he had led the two-headed ox snake monster back to the
inner circle, entering over a dozen monster lairs, killing more than a dozen commander-level monsters and a number of elite-level monsters.
The gains were substantial, and his attributes had changed as a result.
[Tier 0: 200%]
[Zero Coins: 539]
[Current Technology Points: 98]
[Cultivation Technique: ]
[Cloud Ascension Ladder Lightfoot Mystery Grade Low Class): 1/200 (Master)] [Eight Trigrams Palm Technique (Yellow Grade High Class): 1/200 (Master)] [Dragon Tiger Fist Technique (Yellow Grade High Class): 1/200 (Master)] [Lightfoot (Yellow Grade Low Class): 5/200 (Master)]
[Gale Blade Technique (Yellow Grade Low Class): 2/200 (Master)]
[Phantom Steps Technique (Yellow Grade Low Class): 72/100 (Beginner)]
[Viper Kick Technique (Yellow Grade Low Class): 1/100 (Beginner)]
The number of zero coins did not increase much. As long as he could carry a limited number of them with him, he could not pick up many of them.
The most important thing was the Technology Points.
The Commander class and Elite class monsters he killed had provided him with nearly 500 Technology Points.
This also allowed him to successfully enter the Master Level for the three new martial arts he had learned.
A low class Mystery Grade Lightfoot, the Cloud Ascension Ladder was indeed much more powerful than the Lightfoot.
Both of them were proficient in the Lightfoot Technique, but it was almost impossible for him to shake off the two-headed ox snake monster. Their speeds were almost the same.
But with the Cloud Ascension Ladder, his speed greatly increased, almost creating a significant gap between him and the monster.
However, the proficiency exchange rate for the Cloud Ascension Ladder was not cheap.
For ordinary Yellow Grade techniques, regardless of quality, increasing one point of proficiency only requires one technology point.
But for the Cloud Ascension Ladder, a Mystery grade technique, increasing one
point of proficiency requires two technology points. Therefore, Zhao Yu could only temporarily upgrade it to the Master level.
However, the Master level was already sufficient for him.
At least, no one in Wang Feng Valley could surpass his skill in Lightfoot techniques.
During this period, he had successfully eliminated several Wang Feng Valley experts who specialized in tracking him with their Lightfoot skills.
This also made the people of Wang Feng Valley dare not get too close, only observing them from several kilometers or even tens of kilometers away.
“Now I have 98 technology points, almost reaching 100…”
“Which technique should I upgrade to the Master level next?!”
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Yu realized that upgrading any technique
to the Master level wouldn’t immediately bring a qualitative change to his strength.
Mainly because the grades and class of the techniques he possessed were not high.
Apart from one Mystery grade low class Lightfoot technique, the rest were just Yellow grade techniques.
“Or perhaps, stack one technique to the Minor Achievement level?!”
For Yellow grade techniques, upgrading one proficiency point requires one technology point. Saving up another hundred technology points could almost elevate the Eight Trigram Palm or Dragon Tiger Fist to the Minor Achievement level.
“Yellow grade techniques…”
“It would be great if I could find a Mystery grade technique…”
Zhao Yu felt a bit regretful. He had one Mystery grade technique, and the
difference compared to Yellow grade techniques was significant, with a substantial improvement.
“Wait a moment…”
Suddenly, he thought of something, his eyes lighting up, “Since He Yun has a
Mystery technique, could the leaders of the other four major forces also have them?!”
This thought excited Zhao Yu.
If he could extort a Mystic grade technique from He Yun, why couldn’t he do the same with others?!
The strongest five individuals in the inner circle of this novice area were
definitely the most likely to possess Mystery grade techniques.
“But where are the other four major forces?!”
Amidst the roars of the two-headed ox snake monster, Zhao Yu still had the leisure to let his thoughts wander.
“Perhaps, He Yun will tell me their locations…Hehehe!”
A smile appeared on his face and he quickly changed direction, heading
towards Wang Feng Valley once again..
