"Beyond the norm?"

Lu Chao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly checked the secret technique information interface.

"Sixteen sword shadows now! And it also has the added characteristic of gathering battle intent!"

After a moment's thought, Lu Chaoding realized that this LV4 Splitting Light Sword Intent was extremely powerful!

First, there's the damage amplification. With 16 sword shadows following you, theoretically, that's a steady 160% increase in damage, and it's a permanent effect.

Keep in mind that the effect of the one-star skill [Heavy Strike] is only a 20% damage increase, and it only applies to the next attack. Compared to [Splitting Light and Shadow], it's incredibly weak.

Furthermore, regarding its resilience-breaking ability, with 16 sword shadows plus the flying sword itself, even a normal attack can instantly reduce the target's resilience by 17 points!

As for resilience, according to the unreliable beta tester Zhao Weike, it's one or two points for regular monsters, no more than twelve points for elites, and only around twenty points for bosses!

This means that with the LV4 [Splitting Light and Shadow] skill, Lu Chaoding can break through the toughness of enemies below the BOSS level in one hit!

This is a bit outrageous!

Finally, there's the Battle Spirit Condensation effect. Don't underestimate the 1% trigger rate; each of the 16 sword shadows has a trigger rate. Theoretically, the chance of Battle Spirit Condensation with each attack is close to 15%. If you're lucky, you might even condense several points of Battle Spirit with a single attack.

"If we upgrade the Splitting Light Sword Shadow again, won't there be 32 sword shadows?"

Lu Chaoding was filled with anticipation. At this moment, he reached out with his right hand to grab the hilt of the commoner's sword, flicked his left finger on the blade, and simultaneously used the Splitting Light Sword Shadow technique. With a clang, 16 sword shadows separated from the commoner's sword and quickly arranged themselves on the left and right sides of the sword.

"Behold my Ten Thousand Swords Return to Their Origin!"

Lu Chao shouted, tossed the commoner's sword into the air, and then remotely controlled the sword, making it circle around him before finally hovering behind him.

The sixteen sword shadows followed closely, with whooshing sounds as they cut through the air. They eventually spread out in a fan shape behind Lu Chao, their sword light gleaming as if they were real.

"With these special effects, we're definitely someone who can make a name for ourselves!"

Lu Chao then used three more "Sword Immortal Certificates" to upgrade his professional talent "Sword Control" to LV4.

As a result, Lu Chaoding's attack range increased to 40 meters, and his speed increased by 25, reaching 125!

He was in high spirits, but then he left Lion Cliff to hunt nocturnal beasts.

The longer attack range and faster speed made Lu Chaoding more relaxed and safer during the hunt, and made it easier for him to attack first. He was focused on playing it safe and specifically looked for lone low-level nocturnal beasts. Three minutes later, he spotted a LV5 night wolf and attacked it directly with his sword from more than 30 meters away!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...

A cold glint flashed, sword shadows rained down, and damage numbers skyrocketed above the night wolf's head.

The night wolf's head trembled violently from the blow, and it died a gruesome death. Then, its body collapsed and vanished into light.

The battle ended abruptly.

Lu Chao didn't even enter the combat space.

Moreover, the night wolf dropped a [blood-red tooth] and a [cultivation manual], and both spoils of war automatically entered Lu Chao's storage space!

This is naturally a system setting. If the target can be killed with a single strike, there is no need to enter the combat space, and the loot dropped by the monster will be automatically stored in the player's storage space.

"Haha, one-hit kill! Exciting!"

Lu Chaoding's confidence soared. He continued hunting nocturnal beasts, specifically targeting level five or six night wolves that he could kill instantly. He was cautious, not daring to stray too far from Lion Cliff. Whenever he spotted a powerful nocturnal beast, he would move away and wait until it left before returning to hunt low-level night wolves.

Before he knew it, two hours had passed. During this time, Lu Chaoding had killed a total of 8 low-level night wolves. The cultivation points he gained directly from killing them, combined with the cultivation points he gained from using the cultivation book, brought his current cultivation points to 410!

"Ding! Do you wish to consume 400 cultivation points to level up your character?"

"yes!"

"Ding! Level up successful! Congratulations on reaching LV4! Health +60, Attack +6!"

"Finally upgraded!"

Lu Chaoding opened his attribute panel and saw that his base health was 220, his base attack power was 22, and his total attack power was 62 after equipping the +1 refined Pifu Sword!

"Attack power of 62, then sword shadow attack can reach 6, normal attack total damage is 158, and toughness break damage can reach 524! This output is still not enough..."

Lu Chao shook his head and continued jungling.

Half an hour later, Lu Chaoding produced a one-star potion called [Life Steal Potion], which had the effect of increasing attack life steal by 10% for two minutes after consumption.

After another half hour, and after risking his life to kill an 8th-level night wolf, Lu Chaoding obtained another bottle of [Night Wolf Blood].

This [Blood of the Night Wolf] is actually a two-star item!

Although the Night Wolf is the weakest nocturnal beast, its Blood is still considered a blood material. As long as it is a blood material, it can be used to refine the Peasant Sword.

So, Lu Chao quickly equipped himself with a +2 refined sword.

A +2 refined sword is brighter than a +1 refined sword and provides the wearer with 60 attack power!

"Not enough, not enough, we have to keep working ourselves to the bone!"

Lu Chao was getting stronger and stronger in battle, but his good luck soon came to an end. Perhaps because he had killed too many night wolves near Lion Cliff, a level 25 Night Wolf King spawned.

As soon as the Night Wolf King appeared, it raised its head and howled, attracting a large number of night wolves to approach it, which quickly gathered into a large pack.

Then, black mist quickly enveloped and connected the large group of night wolves. Lu Chao saw this and immediately cursed loudly.

He strongly suspected that the night wolves were in a group.

Anyway, he dared not attack these night wolves again. If they really were in a group, and he attacked one of them, attracting a large group of night wolves into the battle space at the same time, he would be doomed!

Then, as if the Night Wolf King had descended specifically to hunt down Lu Chaoding, under its command, large and small Night Wolves spread out like a carpet, blocking all the way out of Lion Cliff, and then simultaneously advanced towards Lion Cliff.

"Holy crap, isn't that a bit much?"

Lu Chao was fed up, and facing the menacing Night Wolf Squad, he couldn't fly, so he could only retreat, gradually arriving at the edge of the cliff.

"Have you lost all sportsmanship? What kind of skill is it to gang up on someone? If you're so capable, send someone of my level for a one-on-one fight!"

Lu Chao shouted at the Wolf King that night.

That night, the wolf king was very aloof, not even glancing at Lu Chaoding. He raised his head and howled, and a large number of night wolves continued to advance towards the cliff. Some of them had already begun to bare their teeth at Lu Chaoding.

"The monsters in the wild have become sentient, teaming up to gank. It seems like staying in the wild at night is really not safe!"

Lu Chao sighed, took out the [Vampire Potion] he had just used, looked at it, and muttered to himself, "Life or death, success or failure, it all depends on you!"

After saying that, Lu Chao jumped, did a 360-degree spin in mid-air, and jumped off the cliff.

"I will be back!"

He roared, and immediately received a system notification: "Ding, congratulations on completing the [Cliff Jump] quest. You have survived a great calamity and are now fortunate enough to enter the secret realm of opportunity, [Linlang Cave]."

"Ding! You can receive two more cliff-jumping missions..."
