Chapter 564: Chapter 2 All Set, The Whole Army Attacks

This...

Looking at the introduction of the secret technique, Xiao Jie couldn’t help but frown, but then he relaxed again.

Overall, this secret technique is really strong, with a certain probability of triggering an annihilation effect on the target, which is an instant kill, regardless of how much health, defense, or resistance you have... all it takes is one move to kill.

The problem is that he didn’t really like this probability-based mechanism.

Since it’s based on probability, there’s a chance of failure, and it’s a big one. If it fails at a critical moment, that’s going to be really frustrating.

If it were an ordinary game, a probability-based trigger would be no problem; if you fail, you just try again. Trying it once a week and hoping to get lucky to kill a boss in one hit is fine, as long as it succeeds once to break even.

The problem is that the current game is perma-death, so it’s incredibly frustrating. Imagine if, during a decisive battle, you want to trigger an annihilation but only end up triggering an effect that shortens life. That’s really going to be a problem.

Although the life-shortening effect is also pretty good, reducing lifespan by 30 years... For human-type enemies, it almost directly changes them from their prime to middle-aged or elderly, which will definitely trigger an aging effect, reducing attributes. However, how much the attributes will be reduced is hard to say, as some people grow stronger with age and remain robust in their sixties or seventies.

On the other hand, it would be quite effective against older martial arts experts, like Yuan Bai who only has ten years of life left—wouldn’t it instantly kill him with one strike?

Generally, famous experts are around forty or fifty years old, so even if a strike doesn’t kill them, they would still turn into old men.

But if it’s against the Demon Race, spirits, Undead, Mechanical Puppets, or dragons, it’s probably useless.

After all, these monsters are either of the Eternal Life type, with thirty years of life making no difference, or they aren’t living creatures, so three hundred years would likely be no different from thirty.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the secret technique is only really useful against humanoid and beast-type enemies.

However, considering that this time his targets are the Azure Dragon Association and Liu Qiang, the effect of the secret technique is not bad.

When facing Liu Qiang, he just needs to hit him with it first, even if it doesn’t kill him, at least make him turn into an old impotent man, annoying him to death.

"How about it, bro, this move is pretty amazing, isn’t it?

"Not bad, this move is indeed amazing," Xiao Jie said with satisfaction. At least it’s absolutely powerful against humanoid enemies.

It’s just that he’s not sure how to meet the prerequisite ’See Through Life and Death’. Is it that the player has to enter a Near Death state? And then they can trigger it?

Or maybe it triggers some kind of special BUFF?

It can’t possibly be that if the player outside the computer sees through life and death, then the character in the game can deliver an annihilating blow, right?

It feels like the game has always projected from inside the game to reality but never the other way around.

"Haha, glad you like it. I wish you a victorious start, big brother."

After saying goodbye to Yuan Bai, Xiao Jie continued his enhancement plan.

The Skill has been strengthened; next is Equipment enhancement.

Speaking of which, it’s a pity that Xiao Jie’s current set of Equipment is rather incomplete; he rarely has stable times to farm, so he’s always been wearing whatever he loots. He does have good equipment; he owns three pieces of Purple Equipment.

But there’s also a lot of ordinary and even trash equipment, with the worst being whiteboard—Leather Armor Pants that haven’t been changed since Newbie Village.

The blue and green pieces on him are okay, but they’re not a matched set, and the attributes don’t fit his combat style very well; they’re just makeshift.

Now, Xiao Jie is ready to get a set of usable Equipment and replace some outdated items.

Heading straight to the auction house, he searched for Equipment while inspecting what he’s got on him.

Martial Artist Bracelet... This thing adds unarmed damage, totally useless, replace it.

Hunter’s Gloves: adds hit rate... Clearly that’s for a ranged Profession, and it’s just green equipment, gotta replace that too.

Leather Armor Legs: dammit, it’s a whiteboard, replace it.

Mountain Cat Boots: These are still decent, adding Agility and movement speed, can keep them.

Bone Jade Ring: adds two points to Spirit, will keep it.

Black Iron Ring: This one is useless, swap it out.

Besides these, the cloak and shoulder pads need to be dealt with too.

As for the direction of Equipment focus... In the past, he would definitely have gone for pure Agility, but now that he has become a Master of Magic, Xiao Jie decisively chooses Magic Equipment, especially since he is now following the Demon Art route, with both Spirit and Spiritual not high, he can compensate with Equipment.

Xiao Jie quickly locked onto the Equipment he wants to buy in the auction house.

Moral Ring: Spiritual +2, 25 tael each.

Rune Bracelets: Increases the duration of beneficial or harmful Spells by 10%. Bought for 20 tael.

Assassin Gloves: Increases Vital Strike probability by 5%. Bought for 15 tael.

Eight Treasures Covering Pants: +2 Spirit, +2 Endurance. Bought for 30 tael.

Mystical Cloak: +2 Spirit. Bought for 25 tael...

With that, Xiao Jie has finally piled up some Spirit and Spiritual.

His Spiritual Power reached 31, and Spiritual reached 41.

He now has 10 Free Attribute Points, all added to Spirit, bringing his Spirit Attribute to 41, with 410 Mana points, and finally not afraid to run out of Mana too quickly.

Otherwise, with his previous amount of Mana, he could hardly use Spells a few times.

Spiritual is still a bit low compared to a genuine Master of Magic; Magic damage-focused characters, such as Dida La and Bai Ze, have at least over 60. Fortunately, Demon Art is mainly functional, so the impact is not that great.
