Chapter 11: Greater Mastery, Backward Glance

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At this moment, the Green Dragon Staff in his hand seemed to have become a part of Wang Shuo’s body. Every move was like an extension of his arm, and he could do as he pleased.

When he saw the notification, Wang Shuo wasn’t surprised at all.

He could feel that his comprehension of the basic staff techniques had already reached the limit described in the cultivation technique, and there was no longer any room for improvement.

If this was not considered perfection, he really didn’t know how to continue practicing.

Of course, he was still somewhat surprised by his own cultivation speed.

But after some thought, he understood the reason.

His Physique was simply too high.

With a Physique of 3, his physical fitness allowed him to master the basic staff techniques perfectly. What he lacked now was merely the theoretical comprehension.

Based on the previous information, Wang Shuo guessed that the skill would only be officially passed down in the secret manual after reaching basic mastery.

Typically, ordinary players only needed to practice step by step, and as their physical fitness and skills improved, they would naturally improve.

It was like an ordinary computer that downloaded a game that required immense computing power. At first, you could only play it at minimum settings.

Only by continuously upgrading your configuration could you choose higher settings.

But Wang Shuo was different. He was a top-of-the-line model and could run the original settings without any pressure.

All that was missing was downloading the game.

After he achieved basic mastery of the Common Basic Staff Technique, and with the inheritance of theoretical knowledge of the techniques, his cultivation speed was naturally incomparable.

After understanding this, Wang Shuo felt that it was a pity. He had really thought that he was a martial arts prodigy.

But from this, it was apparent that as long as your Physique quickly improved, you could significantly reduce the time needed to train techniques. So overall, it was quite good.

After all, just cultivating the Primordial Chaos Skill already required a lot of time. How could he spare so much time to hone his techniques?

“Gulp.”

At this moment, a wave of intense hunger overwhelmed him, causing his legs to go soft, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Every cell in his body seemed to be protesting as if a hundred claws were clawing at his heart.

He forced his weak body to throw five Five Grains Pill and Water Droplets into his mouth to ease the pain.

His stomach rumbled like thunder, and his internal organs seemed to have gone crazy, sending bursts of heat to his limbs and bones.

This lasted for about ten minutes before he heaved a long sigh of relief.

“I can’t do this again next time. Otherwise, no matter how strong my body is, I still won’t be able to withstand such torture.”

But the effects of the Five Grains Pill were too vigorous. After his body recovered to its peak, there was still an endless stream of energy dispersing, causing his body to swell.

Wang Shuo immediately realized that he had actually done something stupid when he was starving and dizzy.

Usually, one Five Grains Pill could replenish physical strength. But now that he had swallowed five at once, it would be strange if he didn’t feel terrible.

“This won’t do. I have to think of a way to digest it quickly!”

Feeling his body swelling with pain, Wang Shuo hurriedly sat cross-legged and began cultivating the Primordial Chaos Skill.

It had to be said that the Primordial Chaos Skill was indeed an energy-consuming behemoth.

As he circulated his cultivation technique, the relief of the pain was immediate.

One by one, light spots entered his body. After an unknown period of time, the endless heat in his stomach finally disappeared.

But Wang Shuo had no intention of stopping.

Anyway, there were no monsters to slaughter now. But after learning about the second and third trials, he felt a tremendous sense of danger.

Even the kobold leader, which was only the vanguard of the second trial, had strength on par with his own. If not for his weapon, he might not have been the kobold leader’s opponent.

It was evident that the challenges he would face in the future would definitely be even more terrifying.

Just a single perfection-level Common Basic Staff Technique didn’t give him much confidence.

He needed to improve his Physique to the next level.

Wang Shuo removed all distractions from his mind. As he continuously refined the Five Grains Pills, the sun in the sky had been replaced by the stars and moon.

The light of the stars and moon was like mercury seeping into the ground, adding a mysterious aura to Wang Shuo’s figure.

Unknowingly, a familiar burning sensation gradually converged in his chest, making him realize that he might have reached the edge of breaking through again.

Even though he was delighted, this didn’t disturb the calm in his heart.

He continued to absorb light spots in an orderly fashion.

The stars and moon vanished, and a wisp of white emerged from the horizon.

Dense red clouds enshrouded the sky as the morning sun rose. Then when the first rays of dawn fell, Wang Shuo suddenly opened his eyes.

“Finally broke through!”

[Primordial Chaos Skill]

Stage 1: Foundation Establishment (Lesser Mastery)

Description: Nourish the five viscera to establish a firm foundation and cultivate the soul.

Breakthrough Requirements: …

With the breakthrough in his cultivation technique, his Physique increased once again, from the original 3 to 3.5.

“This breakthrough only increased my Physique by 0.5?”

Wang Shuo was surprised.

He could feel that this breakthrough was clearly more potent than the previous breakthrough.

He sensed his strength. If he faced the kobold leader again, he was confident that he could shatter the kobold leader’s staff with one blow and kill him within two strikes.

But such a powerful improvement only increased the attribute by 0.5.

“As the attribute increases, does the value of the points increase as well?”

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Wang Shuo checked his inventory.

In his inventory, there were only nine Water Droplets left, and his stockpile of Five Grains Pill had shrunk to 144.

In other words, after removing the cost of practicing the staff technique, it took about 100 pills to break through to lesser mastery from elementary mastery.

A Five Grains Pill could absorb five light spots on average. In other words, he had absorbed about 500 light spots to complete the breakthrough.

The difficulty of this breakthrough had increased fivefold.

“In that case, won’t the next breakthrough take 2500?”

Wang Shuo felt his scalp tingle.

“This won’t do. It’ll be difficult to satisfy my cultivation with just the drop rate of farming monsters. I have to think of another way.”

Wang Shuo opened the forum and saw that the number of players online had dropped below 600. He was unable to repress the shock in his heart.

“How did so many people get eliminated?”

Before the second trial started yesterday, he had noticed that the number of players online was still around 800.

But the monsters in the camp wouldn’t take the initiative to attack. So logically speaking, there shouldn’t be such a high elimination rate.

He started browsing the forum.

He dragged the scrollbar down and finally found a clue.

“F*ck, the aggro range of the camp has increased by ten meters. I almost kicked the bucket!”

“God damn it, it’s too dark. My right hand is broken. I don’t think I can survive this. Brothers, take care!”

“It has been confirmed. After about an hour, the aggro range of the monsters increases by ten meters. So when everyone is maintaining your distance outside the range, make sure to account for the time.”

Wang Shuo’s heart turned cold. These game designers were simply too inhumane!

The easiest time for people to be plotted against was when they had completely let down their guard.

This move was like a sudden thrust that totally caught everyone off guard.

“Of these more two hundred people, probably at least half of them died from this.”
