Seven days have passed since the Sanxiang Gang's enthronement ceremony.
At the turn of the two days, in the main residence of Lu Mansion.
Lu Ming opened his eyes and got out of bed on time, with his upper body exposed, came to the big pear chair and sat down.
I poured myself a cup of cold tea and opened the mini game system while enjoying the tea.
The attributes of the sixth-grade characters came into view.
[Player profile. 】
[Name: Lu Ming. 】
[Cultivation: Sixth Grade Qi and Blood. 】
[Health value: 50. 】
After the sixth level, the health value of the mini-game character increases from 20 to 50.
This is the most significant improvement.
Other than that, there are no changes in the performance of the technique.
After briefly glancing at his personal attribute panel, Lu Ming turned his gaze to the right panel.
[Start the game] The four big characters are shining brightly.
With a sudden realization, the game started. However, before entering the game screen, two options appeared in front of Lu Ming.
【first round】
【Second level】
Looking at the three words "Second Level", Lu Ming thought for a moment and smiled slightly.
"It's time to try this second level."
…
Since the second level was opened, Lu Ming has never touched the second level once.
There are two reasons.
One, he needs the Qi and Blood Elixir to win over some people. The extra Qi and Blood Elixir and Poison Elixir stored outside would also be a huge fortune. It was an absolute hard currency. It would definitely not be a loss to save a little.
Second, just thinking about it, you can tell that the difficulty of the second level has soared. Lu Ming's current character performance may not last long, and the game time is short, and there are not enough monsters to kill. If you don't kill many monsters, the evil environment will not be strong. For Lu Ming, Practicing the three-phase demon-turning technique is harmful but useless.
Having already reached the sixth level before, and with such a powerful weapon as the three-phase demon-turning skill, Lu Mingtong could easily hold it in his hands at the first level.
In order to consolidate and improve his cultivation as soon as possible, Lu Ming spent a long time in the first level.
At this moment, he succeeded as the leader of the gang, and his cultivation level was considered stable. All that was left was hard work, practicing his true skills bit by bit, tempering his blood energy, and perfecting it to reach the peak of the sixth level.
There was really no rush for this, and the external environment was now considered stable, so Lu Ming simply thought of trying this second level today.
As soon as the idea strikes, the game begins.
…
There was a flash of light.
The villain appears on the game screen.
After choosing the three-phase demon-turning technique as the initial technique, Lu Ming had time to look at the venue for the second level.
It was no longer the lush grassland of the first level, but what appeared before Lu Ming's eyes were broken walls and ruins...
It seems to be a city ruin?
Maybe……
After all, the expressiveness of this flat 2D picture is really not that good.
"The problem is not the environment, the problem is... there are a little too many obstacles in this level."
Some obstacles in the game are not destructible, but these obstacles will restrict Lu Ming's movement. For this reason alone, the difficulty of the second level will be much higher than that of the first level.
But the key point is still strange...
Focusing on the screen, you can see a huge red circle under the feet of Lu Ming's villain.
The circle is about one-twentieth the size of the entire screen—a pretty scary range.
And this is the effect of the three-phase magic turning skill in the game.
[Kung Fu 1: Three-phase Demon Transformation Kung Fu (Sixth Grade Martial Arts) (One Star). 】
[Effect of the skill: A large, circular evil spirit circle appears around the body, causing 10 points of damage to enemies within the circle every 0.5 seconds. 】
About five seconds later, the first monster appeared in the game.
It was a little man in black clothes, masked and holding a crossbow.
[Crossbowman: HP 10, attack power 3, medium movement speed, long-range attack. 】
Remote monsters...this is more troublesome.
Fortunately, the crossbowman's HP was exactly 10 points and he couldn't withstand a blow from the three-phase magic transformation skill.
With careful movement and a simple touch, the crossbowman fell to the ground and turned into green experience blocks.
"feel good……"
After muttering like this, Lu Ming concentrated on continuing the game.
About three minutes later, the second monster appeared in the game.
Infantrymen wearing heavy armor and holding long swords.
[Knife Hand: HP 20, attack power 5, medium movement speed. 】
But there was still no threat to Lu Ming.
Because of the previous upgrade, Lu Ming's three-phase demon-turning skill reached the second level.
[Effect of the skill: A very large, circular evil spirit circle appears around the body, causing 15 points of damage to enemies within the circle every 0.4 seconds. 】
Two strokes of the Three-Phase Demon Transformation Skill are enough to kill a swordsman, and 0.8 seconds is not enough for the swordsman to get close to Lu Ming's body.
Five minutes later, the third monster appeared.
Cavalrymen riding large horses and carrying spears.
[Cavalry: HP 30, attack power 10, moves quickly. 】
The attack power is high and the HP is high, but the speed is fast, but the attack power of the two-star three-phase magic transformation skill is 15, and it can turn into a small cavalry in two attacks.
The attack frequency of 0.4 seconds and the attack power of 15 points ensure that Lu Ming can easily harvest monster heads.
But you need to pay attention to your positioning. Long-range attacks were one thing. The cavalry was very fast and could reach Lu Ming with the three-phase demon-turning skill.
The first ten minutes flew by and overall it was pretty easy.
But when the mini-boss of the second level appeared, Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh.
"This performance is a bit too much..."
It was a swordsman in fluttering white clothes, also a humanoid monster, very similar to Lu Ming's villain.
[Third-rate master (boss): HP 200, attack power 20, moves extremely fast. 】
Let’s not talk about the high health and thick attack. Let’s just say that the movement speed is extremely fast...
This is faster than Lu Ming's villain.
What's even more troublesome is that the mini-boss in the second level already has skills - similar to the mountain ghost. This is not reflected in the attributes and requires players to explore on their own.
The third-rate masters in the martial arts world have two skills.
It was these two skills that made Lu Ming curse loudly, and tonight's game stopped there.
[Surge: Quickly move three positions forward. 】
[Three consecutive strikes: Swing three swords at extremely fast speeds, unable to attack or move within three seconds after use. 】
Rush in close, and reap the rewards with three consecutive hits.
The three swords dealt 60 points of damage. Because Lu Ming did not choose the Iron Clothes Skill, he died suddenly...
But that doesn't mean that this three-hit combo cannot be avoided and can only be resisted - Lu Ming can still dodge it with full concentration.
The root cause of the failure was a momentary inattention at first sight.
【game over】
Looking at the four big characters on the system panel, Lu Ming pursed his lips.
"Okay, that's expected."
…
There are no golden treasure chest rewards, no level-clearance rewards, only martial arts insights.
Martial arts insights flowed into his mind, but except for the three-phase demon-turning technique, the martial arts insights from other martial arts were useless.
The seventh-level martial arts can be compared to the fighting skills of mortals, and several of Lu Ming's martial arts have reached the level of master and cannot be promoted.
After all, every power has its limits, and every effort has its limits.
Starting from the sixth level, the movement of qi and blood is involved. This is martial arts in the true sense.
In his mind, Lu Ming's little figure is sitting cross-legged, and the three-phase demon-turning skill is running on its own. It absorbs the evil spirit and transforms it into blood energy. As it moves, Lu Ming's understanding of the three-phase demon-turning skill is gradually deepening.
But unfortunately, it becomes extremely difficult to reach a star level in martial arts starting from the sixth level. Up to now, Lu Ming's three-phase demon-turning skill has not reached the second level.
Soon Lu Ming opened his eyes, and the power of qi and blood in his body increased again.
But if you compare it, you can find that today's improvement is much less than that of the previous few days.
"Sure enough, the evil environment in the second level is not as good as the first level."
"The main issue is how many monsters are killed. It seems to have nothing to do with the individual strength of the monsters..."
From this perspective, the current benefits to Lu Ming from the first level are much greater than those from the second level.
But for future considerations, Lu Ming decided to start the journey to the second level as soon as possible.
As for the mini-boss that blocked Lu Ming tonight...
Be careful. With your current skill combination, you can probably defeat him.
"But obviously, with the current martial arts performance, it is impossible to pass the second level."
So before Lu Ming, there was a very real problem.
"Where can I find a sixth-grade martial arts school?"
