Chapter 7: Greatly Increased Strength

  Lin Feng opened his backpack space, a virtual screen floated in front of him. In the backpack space, he found two things that had just popped out. One was a blue skill book image, and the other was a gray stone.

  First, I clicked on that blue skill book icon. A flash of light appeared, and some data instantly popped up on the screen. At the same time, a system prompt sounded in my mind.

  "Critical Strike Skill, Active Skill, Level 1. After activating the skill, it can instantly increase attack by two times, but only for one hit, with no cooldown time. When used against a strong opponent of the same realm, there is a 50% success rate. For every higher level of cultivation than the host, the success rate decreases by half. If the opponent's cultivation is lower than the host's, the success rate is always 100%."

  "Ding, has the host decided to learn the Burst Strike skill?"

  Seeing this heaven-defying skill, Lin Feng couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Fifty percent probability? What concept is this? This means that if I hit you twice, one of those hits might be with triple the power, this skill is freaking awesome, so cool!

  "In his heart, he hurriedly thought to himself, 'Learning, of course I must learn.'"

  "Ding, host has learned the skill of burst strike."

  The blue light flashed on the screen, and that skill book was instantly learned. Suddenly, Lin Feng felt that there was another skill in his mind called "Critical Hit".

  Calm down the surging emotions, Lin Feng turned his gaze back to the screen and clicked on the gray stone image with his hand. The screen changed again, displaying some information.

  "Primary skill upgrade stone, can upgrade skills below level 3 (including level 3) by one level, the host can upgrade learned skills in the character attribute interface."

  Lin Feng looked at it and was overjoyed, hastily opening the character attribute interface, a flash of light appeared before his eyes.

  "Person: Lin Feng."

  Age: sixteen weeks old.

  "Cultivation: Xuanbing First Level."

  "Skills: Double Skill, Level 1; Critical Hit Skill, Level 1."

  "Experience Points: 347/10,000."

  "Profile: A miscellaneous disciple of Qinglan Sect, currently living in a dilapidated small room, unemployed, with poor cultivation skills, a small fry in the Jianghu world. Many people in Qinglan Sect can kill you instantly, but your strength is enough to dominate the Miscellaneous Disciples Institute, and you can bully a small number of weaker outer disciples. Bullying fellow disciples with similar cultivation levels is just a trivial matter, and challenging those above your rank is no longer a myth."

  Lin Feng originally wanted to upgrade his skills, but when he saw this pile of information, he was stunned!

  Damn it, how come upgrading from level 1 to level 2 requires 10,000 experience points? I'm speechless. And that brief information is still so weird, never mind.

  But how to upgrade? Lin Feng carefully looked at it and found that the double skill and critical strike skill seemed to be linked, so he quickly clicked on the double skill with his hand, and sure enough, the screen changed again.

  "Double Skill, an active skill, currently at level 1, can increase strength by 0.5 times, lasting for five minutes, with a cooldown of one minute."

  "After reaching level 2, power can be increased by 1 times, lasting for 10 minutes, with a cooldown of 30 seconds. Upgrade requirement: Primary skill upgrade stone."

  "Ding, host has acquired a primary skill upgrade stone, would you like to upgrade this skill?"

  He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and Lin Feng first vetoed it. He wanted to see what kind of function the burst strike skill had after upgrading before making a decision, so he clicked on the burst strike skill again.

  "Critical strike skill, belongs to active skills, currently at level 1, can increase attack by two times, only one hit, no cooldown time. When launched against a strong opponent of the same realm, there is a 50% success rate. If the cultivation is higher than the host's realm, the success rate is reduced by half. For those with lower cultivation than the host, the success rate is 100%."

  "Reach level 2, can increase triple attack, only one hit, no cooldown time. When launched against a strong person in the same realm, there is a 55% success rate. If the cultivation of the host is higher than one realm, the success rate will be reduced by half. For those with lower cultivation than the host, the success rate is 100%. Upgrade requirements: Primary skill upgrade stone."

  Lin Feng looked at it and compared it. What he needs most now is to improve his own strength. Although the burst skill upgrade is good after all, and there is no cooldown time, there is still a certain probability that can trigger a burst. Moreover, as long as you encounter someone who is several times stronger than yourself, you may not even be able to withstand one blow, let alone a burst. So, it's best to upgrade the double skill first, and then upgrade again after getting more upgrade stones in the future.

  After making up his mind, Lin Feng upgraded his Double Reward skill.

  "Ding, host upgrade doubles skill, current level is 2."

  A bright light flashed on the screen for an instant, and then the image of the primary skill upgrade stone in the backpack space disappeared. Lin Feng only felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly had a feeling that the Double Skill had undergone some changes. Lin Feng knew that this meant his Double Skill had been upgraded.

  After the upgrade, Lin Feng let out a mouthful of turbid air and smiled slightly. He had finally reached the Xuanbing level. Just thinking about it made him feel excited. If he had relied on his own cultivation to reach this level, it would have taken him at least ten or eight years. Unexpectedly, he had achieved it in less than a month since arriving in this world.

  He slightly calmed down, looked at the two Xuan beasts' corpses in front of him, and smiled. Lin Feng walked over, put them into his spatial ring, although he didn't know how much these Xuan beasts' corpses were worth, but they were definitely precious since they were Xuan-ranked beasts.

  "Now that I've upgraded to Xuanbing level, there's nothing left for me to miss about this place. It's time for me to leave. Once I return to Qinglan Sect, I'll go apply for the assessment." Lin Feng stroked his chin and looked around at the surrounding forest, muttering to himself.

  Looking around the surroundings, just wanting to leave this forest, a sly laugh suddenly came from the front of the forest.

  "Haha... beauty, you're really good at running away. This forest is a dead end, you can't escape anymore. Why don't you stay with me instead? Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I won't kill you and keep you as my **. Haha..."

  "Whoosh"

  "Hiss"

  Two figures suddenly appeared in a nearby forest, Lin Feng slightly sensed the aura of the two people in front, almost scared him to death, hastily shifted his body slightly to one side, hiding behind a tree.

  Why did Lin Feng have such a big reaction?

  The reason is that Lin Feng has just sensed the auras of these two people, which are simply terrifying to the extreme. It's as if the two in front of him are not humans, but rather ferocious beasts from the primordial chaos, far more frightening than the two Xuan beasts he killed earlier. If one had to compare, the auras of these two people would be like that of an elephant, capable of instantly trampling those two Xuan beasts to death like ants.

  Lin Feng's current strength has increased greatly, but compared to these two people, it is simply insignificant. In order not to suffer from unnecessary calamity, Lin Feng can only hide aside and hope that the two of them will leave quickly, without provoking him.

  Unfortunately, it seemed heaven didn't go along with his wishes, and these two stopped right in front of him.
