[Ding – Breakthrough Challenge is now open, selecting from the shadows of the deceased.]
[Ding, selection successful, target is a Tier Three Level 10 Elite-level monster, Pale Giant Crab]
A transparent vortex forms, and a giant crab the size of three carriages appears, its body covered with shell full of spikes, its claws weighing perhaps over a thousand pounds.
Lin Rui fiercely swings his longsword, unleashing frosty Spiritual Damage, the monster instantly disintegrates in the air, flying backward hundreds of meters.
What a pity, such a big crab, yet its meat is all rotten, can’t eat any crab meat.
[Ding, congratulations Explorer on successfully breaking through to Tier Three. Soul +15, Life Value +1000, Spiritual Energy Value +500, Physical Defense +180, Spiritual Resistance +160.]
The breakthrough challenge was effortless for Lin Rui, but he furrowed his brow slightly.
Because the difficulty of the breakthrough challenge increased, the Tier Two challenge mirror was Tier Two Level 5, while the Tier Three challenge mirror turned into Tier Three Level 10.
Being 10 levels higher, plus one trait, the challenge difficulty increased significantly for ordinary soldiers.
If the soldiers do not have excellent equipment, or have not consumed various items to stack up Life Value and Defense Value, and learn more skills, it is indeed not easy to win.
Fortunately, thanks to various enhancements of the territory, territorial soldiers should be able to win the Tier Three breakthrough challenge. As for Tier Four and Tier Five matters, Lin Rui momentarily pushed them aside and looked at his Attribute Panel.
Tier Two’s full level is Level 20, and this time Lin Rui’s upgrade gave a full 57 attribute points.
Lin Rui thought for a moment, aside from his usual style of [Charm +1], Lin Rui decided this time to mainly increase Physique Value and Root Bone Value.
Root Bone determines the strength of trait extraction. This time, to stack Root Bone Value, Lin Rui even consumed a High-quality Level Bloodline Enhancement Potion, putting all the upgrade attribute points into Root Bone, barely reaching full Root Bone Value.
Thus, 57 attribute points, according to Lin Rui’s arrangement:
The final +6 Commander Value is because Lin Rui’s command provides a bonus effect to all soldiers, and the territory is about to experience a military power explosion, Lin Rui must ensure his Commander Attribute can lead these soldiers.
He then focused on the most anticipated section at the bottom of the Attribute Panel.
[Trait Extraction Pending *1]
[Ding, Trait extraction successful. Explorer may choose one of the following three traits to solidify as their own trait. (Strongly note: please carefully choose one as it cannot be changed once determined)]
[Lord-level Trait: War-hardened Body: Scars are the badges of courage, the sharpening sword of strength. With a war-hardened body emerging from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, all damage can be stored as one’s powerful motive force. Physique +10, converts 5% damage reduction upon receiving attacks into Spiritual Energy Value, Spiritual Energy exceeding the limit converts to Spiritual Shield, during shield duration, Life Value recovery speed +280%, negative status resistance +18%]
[Lord-level Trait: Battlefield Sanity: Rationality cleaves all, intuition connects all. Entering the battlefield, increases Wisdom by 1% every 30 seconds, up to 25%. Each Wisdom Value point synchronously strengthens attack, defense, and Spiritual Energy power by 1%.]
[Lord-level Trait: Destiny Card: Fate is unfathomable, glory, power, victory, justice, insidiousness, vileness, fury, desire, your fate spins like the Wheel of Destiny within the Destiny Cards. For every 10% Spiritual Energy Value consumed, can draw a card from the Destiny Card deck to change fate. Lasts 30 minutes.]
Lin Rui decisively chose [Lord-level Trait: Destiny Card].
Being able to draw a Lord-level trait was very unexpected for Lin Rui, he thought he would still get a Heroic Spirit Level trait this time but unexpectedly got a Lord-level. It seems, in trait extraction, besides considering Root Bone, luck is also a factor.
Moreover, even more precious is this time seeing an ability on the side of Goddess of Fortune, the Destiny Card.
As the chosen one of the Goddess of Fortune, how could he not draw cards?
With the extremely cool "swish swish swish" card transformations, luck explodes, drawing a strong card, strength instantly bulges, crushing opponents, this is the hallmark of a Luck King player!
As for drawing a negative effect card? When has a Luck King ever drawn such a card?
Lin Rui glanced at his Spiritual Energy Value, 91.7%, he decisively cast several skills to drop Spiritual Energy Value below 90%.
Destiny Card Trait explodes, bright azure blue light emerges beneath Lin Rui’s feet, outlining a complex and profound magic array composed of hexagrams, 78 gold cards with intricate patterns on their backs appear in the magic array, radiating brilliant light, floating and rotating centered around Lin Rui.
The light of various cards continues to shine brightly, the magic array becomes bright and dazzling, different backgrounds appear within the magic array: the holy hymns of cathedrals, meteor showers cutting through the azure sky, maple leaves falling in a beautiful forest, knights fighting on battlefields. Ultimately, all light converges into one chosen card.
This card rotates and enlarges continuously, then slowly disintegrates from the bottom upward like sand, revealing a guardian clad in bright plate armor, holding a massive shield in the left hand and a five-meter-long silver spear in the right hand, appearing above the magic array.
"Shield wall heavy armor, indestructible! Guardian at your service!"
Everyone gazed in amazement at this scene, the special effects were filled to the brim, in a word to describe it, truly freaking cool! Coolness to the max!
