Chapter 006 The Soul-Severing Arrow Upgrades!
Soon, Su Yu killed another big-eared rabbit.
At this point, he finally had enough skill points to upgrade Soul Severing Arrow from level 2 to level 10 in one go.
"I hope the level 10 stats of the Soul-Severing Arrow will be more effective," Su Yu prayed silently.
Although Soul-Severing Arrow is Su Yu's only active attack skill, he has not used it even once.
The main reason is that the current Soul-Severing Arrow is too weak and practically useless.
Su Yu only hoped that the level 10 trait of the Soul-Severing Arrow could slightly improve its current useless state.
[You have consumed 2 skill points, increasing the level of Soul-Severing Arrow. Current level: 3!]
[You have consumed 3 skill points, increasing the level of Soul-Severing Arrow. Current level: 4!]
……
[You have consumed 9 skill points, increasing the level of Soul-Severing Arrow. Current level: 10!]
【lv10 Soul-Severing Arrow (Normal): Active skill, fires a powerful arrow, dealing damage equal to 200 + physical attack power * 165% to the target, consumes 28 mana, cooldown 4.5 seconds.】
[Level 10 Trait: After killing a target with Soul Severing Arrow, all mana consumed by the skill will be immediately refunded.]
"The level 10 trait of the Soul-Severing Arrow seems very useful." Su Yu's eyes lit up.
With the level 10 trait of Soul Severing Arrow, he can now use it to finish off enemies without worrying about mana consumption.
It's like turning the Soul-Severing Arrow into a basic attack plus!
This is a very useful feature that can greatly improve Su Yu's monster-killing efficiency.
In Su Yu's opinion, the current Soul-Severing Arrow has no major drawbacks except for its slightly long cooldown time.
"A level 10 Soul-Severing Arrow can probably deal 400 points of damage, which is enough to kill a Swiftwind Rabbit in one shot." Su Yu was pleasantly surprised.
The Swift Rabbit has 300 health points and 15 physical defense points.
Without triggering a weakness attack or a critical hit, Su Yu would need at least three arrows to kill a Gale Rabbit.
But now, he can take care of it with a single Soul-Severing Arrow.
Not only does it not consume any mana, but it also consumes less stamina.
"Head straight to the level 2 jungle area. Just kill 10 big-eared rabbits along the way, and you'll reach level 2." Su Yu quickly made the decision.
A moment later, a big-eared rabbit appeared in Su Yu's line of sight.
"Soul-Severing Arrow!"
Without hesitation, Su Yu used the Soul-Severing Arrow skill.
A green arrow instantly materialized and shot through the air in a flash.
-1640! (Weakness attack + Critical hit)
The arrow struck the big-eared rabbit's heart instantly, its terrifying power blasting it into pieces.
"Holy crap, it triggered a weakness attack and a critical hit directly."
Su Yu was startled by the injuries he had sustained.
The Powerful Arrow skill can increase his critical hit rate by 5%, but since 5% is not a high value, he rarely gets a critical hit.
Su Yu never expected that his first use of the Soul-Severing Arrow would trigger both a weakness attack and a critical hit simultaneously.
With the added bonus of four times the damage, this arrow dealt four-figure damage, setting a new record for his highest damage output.
"To be able to deal four-figure damage at level 1, that's practically cheating," Su Yu thought to himself.
Even if a player starts with full Strength or Intelligence, with beginner equipment, they will only have around 30 points of attack power at the start of the game.
Even if they use skills, they can only deal a maximum of three digits of damage if they trigger both a weakness attack and a critical hit at the same time.
As for dealing four-digit damage, that's practically unthinkable.
Composing himself, Su Yu continued towards the level 2 jungle area.
[Successfully defeated a level 1 Big-eared Rabbit (Normal), gaining 10 experience points, 5 copper coins, and 1 skill point.]
Successfully defeated a level 1 Big-eared Rabbit (Normal), gaining 10 experience points and 1 skill point.
……
One by one, the big-eared rabbits perished under Su Yu's arrows.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed across Su Yu's body, and his level instantly increased to level 2.
Congratulations on reaching level 2! You have gained +1 to all attributes, +5 to your free attribute, and +5 skill points.
"Not bad, you leveled up to level 2 in less than half an hour. That's a fast leveling speed." Su Yu nodded slightly.
In less than half an hour, he killed one hundred big-eared rabbits.
That's equivalent to killing three to four big-eared rabbits per minute.
Moreover, most of the time is spent finding monsters, and not much time is actually spent killing them.
Especially after Su Yu unlocked the level 10 characteristic of basic archery, his strength attribute skyrocketed, and no big-eared rabbit could withstand the power of his arrow.
This further boosted his monster-killing efficiency to an extreme.
"If only I could find a dungeon in the beginner village, I could level up and farm skill points at the same time," Su Yu thought to himself.
According to the basic information in the game "Immortality", there are three dungeons in the starting village, with dungeon levels of 5, 7 and 10 respectively.
The monster density in the dungeon is much higher than outside, which saves Su Yu time searching for monsters, making it the most suitable place for him to farm skill points.
However, the locations of these three dungeons are not fixed, and their locations are randomly refreshed every day, making them difficult to find.
"Forget it, I don't want to think that far ahead. I'll just farm the Swift Rabbits first and level up to level 3."
Su Yu shook his head and continued heading towards the level 2 jungle area.
Soon, the figure of the Gale Rabbit appeared in Su Yu's sight.
"Soul-Severing Arrow!"
Su Yu shot an arrow from a distance of seventy or eighty meters.
boom!
The next instant, a Swift Rabbit that was taking a nap was pierced through by an arrow.
-400!
Successfully defeated a level 2 Swift Rabbit (Normal), gaining 20 experience points, 10 copper coins, and 1 skill point.
"It takes 3000 experience points to level up from level 2 to level 3, and you get 20 experience points for killing a Swift Rabbit."
"That means at level 2, I can gain 150 skill points by killing Swift Rabbits," Su Yu quickly concluded.
"But should I use the newly acquired skill points to continue improving my basic archery and Soul-Severing Arrow skills, or to improve my Powerful Arrow skills?" Su Yu pondered.
Normally, level 10 is the level cap for ordinary skills.
However, Su Yu possesses unlimited growth potential; all of his skills can break through the skill level cap.
Therefore, even a normal-level skill that has already reached the level 10 cap can still be leveled up and unlock more features in his hands.
普通级技能从10级升到20级，解锁lv20特性，需要10+11+……+19=145个技能点。
As a bronze-level skill, Powerful Arrow requires three times the skill points to level up from level 1 to level 10 compared to a normal-level skill.
In other words, 135 skill points are needed to unlock the level 10 trait of Powerful Arrow.
The skill points required to unlock new features for both are roughly the same, which immediately put Su Yu in a dilemma.
