Bab 56: Skill Advancement
Editor: Larbre Studio
The title of God of Arena? Ye Chen had doubts at first, but when he examined his status more closely, he found that it was true! It was actually the God of Arena!
Reputation and Achievement points, when receiving two such valuable attribute rewards, Ye Chen still managed to maintain his calm. After all, it was nothing too strange, but when Ye Chen saw the attribute bonuses from the title, he could not help but break into uproarious laughter!
"Fuck me, this title is so strong! I love it!"
The titles within the Boundless World would more or less provide some attribute bonuses. But these attributes would mostly raise the attributes of the Strength and Physique class. If one wanted to find something rarer, at most it would increase Movement Speed.
In the Arena, Ye Chen knew that there was another title, the King of Arena! The attributes of the elementary King of Arena were similar to the previous part of the God of Arena. All attributes would be increased by 10, 2 points of Movement Speed, and 1 point of Perception were added. However, there was no attribute of amplifying the rate of gain of Arena points!
Ye Chen didn't know how many people in the game had gotten the title of God of Arena, but this was the first time he knew of this title! In the past, he didn't spend as much time in the Arena as he did now. He didn't expect that when bullying the other low-levelled adventurers this time and achieving a horrifying 1000-game winning streak, he would achieve such a superb title!
With the new title, following the calculations of the new title's attribute boost, after achieving 100 consecutive victories, he would be able to get 10 Arena points!
As compared to the 3 Arena points from each victory previously, the rate that he accumulated Arena points would more than triple!
"I'm still missing 4500 points, which is 450 matches. Even if it takes a minute and a half per match, it would only take less than 12 hours… Fuck me, I hit the jackpot this time!" Ye Chen rapidly did some calculations in his head as to how much time he needed to level up his Durian Bomb Tree with the boost from the title. The final outcome left his eyes gleaming brilliantly with joy.
The originally tedious task which would take over a week now only required less than two days of effort!
With the title, the seemingly distant goal of levelling up the skill was now in sight, and Ye Chen's motivation when hunting monsters shot through the roof. He once again continued his frenzied carnage!
Moreover, to maintain his winning streak, Ye Chen played even more carefully. That way, no one could even take more than a move from Ye Chen!
After sweeping through the Arena until the evening, Ye Chen went offline to eat and before going online again. He then called the other three to go level.
"Boss, did something good happen today?" The four met up, and Dharma could clearly sensed that Ye Chen was in better spirits today than usual.
Ye Chen smiled and showed the title of the God of Arena to the three people. When the others saw, they all widened their eyes in shock.
"Boss, you are invincible! This is actually a 1000-game winning streak!" Dharma was immediately left in a state of admiration where he felt like prostrating on the floor!
"I really want one too. Purple Olive was also incredibly envious. If she were to manage to lay her hands upon such an awesome title, it would be hard not to be famous if she were to post about it on the forum! It was a pity that she was a Priest. Wanting to achieve a winning streak of 1000 was only something she could think about it in her dreams.
The Queen of the Night also wanted the title. After all, the title's attribute boost was extremely attractive, equivalent to wearing an extra piece of equipment.
However, she had been in the Arena for so long. She knew that it was not difficult to win a few dozen games in a row, but it was far too challenging to win a thousand consecutive games. She was afraid that only a demon like Ye Chen could do it.
The few were naturally hunting monsters next, but before they started to scramble, Purple Olive routinely danced a very eye-catching "provocative dance" for everyone. Compared with her movements yesterday, Purple Olive danced even more skillfully, letting Ye Chen and Dharma enjoy a feast for her eyes.
For the entire night, the four hunted monsters as usual. When dawn broke, Ye Chen was above Level 22, the Queen of the Night only just hit Level 23, Dharma was halfway through Level 23, and Purple Olive was almost Level 24.
"Let's stop here for today."
Seeing that the time was about right, the four returned to the city again. Ye Chen went to the public garden, as usual, tended to the Crystal Apple Trees, and then went offline.
In the past few days, Ye Chen's work schedule had become a lot more structured. In the morning, he would have breakfast before heading to the Arena and continue gaming inside the Arena after lunch. However, on that morning, Ye Chen no longer used the Arena-bought seeds. Instead, he bought hundreds of Durian Bomb Tree seeds from Ed and started raising his skills!
The Durian Bomb Tree seeds were difficult to obtain, but it was an elementary task to increase skill proficiency. However, for the other skill learned by Ye Chen, the Iron-Armoured Willow, it was much more difficult to practice it. The seeds of the Iron-Armoured Willow Tree were basically worthless. These days, every time the Arena map opened, Ye Chen would plant a Durian Bomb Tree and an Iron-Armoured Willow Tree. Of course, the Iron-armoured Willow Tree was grown with regular seeds. But after thousands of battles, the power of the Armoured Willow skill had only been increased by 50%. That was to say, if he wanted to upgrade the level of his Iron-Armoured Willow skill, it had to be used at least thousands of times!
Compared with this, the Durian Bomb Tree skill was outstanding. After Ye Chen began to use regular seeds to plant the Durian Bomb Tree. The Durian Bomb Tree skill proficiency soared rapidly in an outstandingly visual way.
And in the Arena, no one could interrupt Ye Chen's legendary winning streak. Although the opponents engaging him in battle rose from Level 20 to Level 22, it made no difference to him. In front of the Durian Bomb Tree and Illusions of Time, those adventurers were still decimated within seconds.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Chen had already saved enough Arena points. He exchanged a total of 150 Durian Bomb Tree seeds from Ed, and coupled with the original 50, it was more than enough to upgrade the skill!
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Durian Bomb Tree skill was successfully advanced to Level 2 by Ye Chen!
The Durian Bomb Tree at Level 2 saw its HP soaring from 800 points at Level 1 to 2200 points, which was incredibly powerful!
After the skill was successfully upgraded, Ye Chen then used the Arena seeds and continued to hunt for Arena points in the Arena. In the afternoon, Ye Chen converted the remaining Arena points into Durian Bomb Tree seeds before going offline to eat.
In the evening, it was time for four people to meet up to level. After Ye Chen's Durian Bomb Tree skill was upgraded, it was naturally faster to hunt monsters. Especially when after hunting for nearly an hour, both Durian Bomb Trees were upgraded to Level 3. The Attack and Defense had greatly increased, and the damage range of the explosions has also increased significantly. Its potential for massacring monsters had grown even more horrifying!
Hence, the four naturally lured over more monsters. From the previous twelve monsters, they had doubled the number all at once and turned it to twenty-four monsters!
In this way, although the four people have levelled up in the past few days, their actual levelling speed had increased compared to before!
"After tonight, it's about time to adjust the hunting area to our level. We're already acquiring less experience from here."
Despite this, as the Ice Bears were only Level 22 monsters, seeing as how the levels of several people in the party was Level 23 and 24, it was not suitable to continue staying here.
Big Snowy Mountain was a very peaceful place. Standing on the mountainside and gazing out into the distance will leave one with a relaxed and happy feeling. Ye Chen and the others were in no hurry to move away from here in the past few days, partially because it was very comfortable to hunt monsters here. But now, it seemed necessary to leave.
No matter how beautiful the scenery was, it was not as important as levelling. Their levels were simply far too disparate as compared to the advanced adventurers.
After finishing off a wave of monsters, the few stood on the thick layer of pristine white snow and glanced down the mountain. Distinct feelings of nostalgia could be observed in their eyes.
This may be the last time they could look down at the scenery below. No one knew whether or not they would return here in the future.
"Hey, someone is running towards us from below! There seems to be a group of people chasing behind." Dharma's eyes were as sharp as ever, and he pointed to a small black dot below.
The little black dot was getting more and more distinct, and he turned out to be a muscular Warrior adventurer. Behind him, seven or eight adventurers were tightly chasing behind, yelling and hollering loudly.
"Boss, what should we do? The Warrior is heading straight towards us."
The three of them looked at Ye Chen. Such a matter was naturally left to Ye Chen's decision.
"Levelling takes precedence. If you don't know him, then we can forget about it." Ye Chen didn't think too much. There were too many cases of killing PKs in the game, and no one could control it. If he didn't know the other party, then he was too lazy to stick his nose in the other party's matters.
But when the Warrior below saw Ye Chen, his eyes lit up, and then he made a beeline for Ye Chen and his party.
But just as Ye Chen and the others were almost thirty meters away, an Ice-type Mage launched an Ice Arrow, landing solidly on his back. The Warrior's speed immediately slowed down drastically.
Desperation flooded the Warrior's eyes for a while, and then he turned sharply. The big sword in his hand slashed upwards, and a ferocious red light shot towards his pursuers!
The red light flashed and landed on an Assassin who was approaching him quickly. The Assassin was instantaneously killed!
However, the Warrior adventurer was only left with a sliver of HP. The adventurers who rushed up from behind the befallen Assassin cast a spell, landing solidly on the Warrior, and the Warrior collapsed to the ground.
Despite the Warrior's death, not even a bottle of potion dropped from his body. Obviously, he had used up all the potions on his body. However, when Ye Chen looked at something that the Warrior adventurer dropped, his eyes suddenly froze!
"Kill those people!" Ye Chen decisively gave the order to kill!
