Chapter 27 Splitting Light and Shadow, Level 5
"The chance of obtaining three portions of the exquisite treasure is one in a million!"
With a joyful expression, Lu Chao rode his flying sword into the Linlang Cave and soon discovered that the treasure chest in the first chamber had been opened and that the compressed biscuits he had put inside had been taken away.
"Who is so lucky?"
Lu Chaoding quickly guessed that Zhang Defa had entered the Linlang Cave, since he had personally witnessed Zhao Weike and the other six revive under the sword monument, and they must have jumped off the cliff to their deaths.
Lu Chaoding put another compressed biscuit into the first treasure chest of opportunity, then went to the second floor and put two compressed biscuits into the treasure chest on the second floor.
"Now comes the exciting moment!"
Lu Chaoding entered the third level.
As expected, the guardian of the treasure chest on the third floor was still the level 15 [Night Owl Tiger] from last night.
This [Night Owl Giant Tiger] boasts a whopping 6000 HP, 120 speed, 20 resilience, and an attack power of 600, far exceeding that of the [Prince Turtle]. It also possesses numerous combat skills, making its overall strength extremely formidable. For ordinary players, like Zhao Weike, let alone a single one, even a four-person team would face a very high probability of being wiped out.
Therefore, opening this third treasure chest is much more difficult than the first two.
However, Lu Chaoding looked relaxed at the moment.
Before the battle began, he glanced at his own attribute information: Level 4, Health 220, Attack 112, Speed 145!
"Unstable, needs to take medication!"
Lu Chao took out the Qi-Nourishing Pill, casually swallowed a few, and leveled up to LV8. At this point, his health reached 660, his attack power increased to 156, his resilience reached 2 points, and his defense also increased by one point.
"This time it's safe!"
Lu Chao smiled slightly, and with a thought, he threw the commoner's sword out.
This is where the advantage of long-range attacks becomes apparent.
If you attack from outside the monster's warning range, you will definitely be able to attack first. However, if you are a melee character like a sword demon or sword saint, and you go forward to slash with your sword, it is uncertain whether you will attack the monster first or be attacked by the monster first after entering the monster's warning range.
Boom boom boom boom...
The flaming sword and sixteen sword shadows slammed into the Night Owl Giant Tiger like missiles. A burst of fire followed by an even louder explosion, sending the Night Owl Giant Tiger tumbling over and howling in pain.
Total damage from one sword strike: 285!
Toughening 18!
Enter the battle space.
Lu Chao's "Divine Insight" appeared above his head, instantly increasing his fighting spirit by four points!
His turn began quickly, and he immediately used the combat skill [Sword Echo].
"-74"
"-7, toughness broken, -624"
"-15"
"-15"
……
"-149!"
……
"-15!"
"-703! Flame Explosion!"
"-2410! Second blast!"
With 17 attacks in one round, 34 attacks in two rounds, plus two explosions, Lu Chaoding dealt a total of 4520 damage in this round!
[Night Owl Tiger] was blown upside down, with only 1195 health points left. It roared for five seconds before it stood up again.
Its turn then began, roaring as it pounced on Lu Chao's head, its massive tiger claws slapping down on Lu Chao's head.
"-291!"
Lu Chao stood firmly in the top position, with the resilience damage reduction plus 3 points of defense damage reduction, and his health was only reduced by 291 points. However, [Night Owl Giant Tiger] seemed to have been burned, and quickly jumped back to its original position, and its turn ended.
"End your short life!"
Lu Chao shouted, and his second round began, but he was too lazy to use [Sword Echo], so he just used a normal attack.
"-152"
"-15"
"-15"
……
"-196, Flame Explosion!"
"-888, secondary explosion!"
After the damage numbers appeared, the [Night Owl Giant Tiger] was charred black. It let out a howl and fell straight down, dying instantly. The damage had already overflowed!
Lu Chao quickly left the combat space, along with a green jade tiger-face waist token.
[Giant Tiger Waist Token: Two-star accessory, Speed +5, Current Refinement +0, can be refined using Giant Tiger Essence, maximum refinement three times.]
"Waist tag! Not bad!"
Lu Chao immediately equipped the waist token dropped by the [Midnight Tiger], instantly increasing his speed to 150!
He then opened the third Treasure Chest of Opportunity. As soon as the lid was lifted, a burst of golden light appeared, revealing three [Jade of Tokens], two [Jade of Inheritance], one [Jade of Enlightenment], a bottle of [Nourishment Pill], a bottle of [Power Dissipation Pill], and a green [Refined Jade].
[Dissipation Pill: A two-star special pill, 5 pills per bottle. Taking one pill permanently reduces the level of a chosen secret technique, combat skill, or ultimate skill by one level. When the skill level drops to LV1, the corresponding skill book will be unbound!]
[Refined Gem: A two-star special item. Upon use, select an item to directly increase its refinement level once. Note: This item can only be used on two-star items, and the maximum refinement level can only be increased to +3!]
"This treasure is alright!"
Lu Chao nodded, but was not in a hurry to collect the exquisite treasures in front of him. He continued to advance to the fourth level of the Linglang Cave.
The fourth and final level of the Linlang Cave is filled with a golden treasure chest, guarded by a level 15 [Moon Shadow Azure Dragon]!
[Moon Shadow Azure Dragon: LV15, HP 9000, Attack 900, Resilience 30, Defense 30, Speed 100, Attack Range 30 meters, Skills: Trident Thunder, Poison Attack, Rapid Regeneration.]
Looking at the azure dragon whose body was thicker than a water bucket, Lu Chao couldn't help but shrink his neck, feeling a little scared!
"This thing looks scarier than a baby turtle!"
Lu Chao dared not get too close, silently wondering if he could defeat this dragon.
"With the blessing of Heavenly Power, my attacks are unaffected by defense reduction. If this azure dragon doesn't unleash its combat skills right away, I still have a good chance of taking it down. A little more attack power and I'll be set!"
Thinking of this, Lu Chao returned to the third level of Linlang Cave, collected all the items inside, and was immediately teleported back to Lion Cliff.
Next, Lu Chaoding exchanged the [Jade of Tokens], [Jade of Inheritance], and [Jade of Enlightenment] for virtual items exclusive to sword immortals. Combined with what he had obtained before, he now had 4 [Sword Immortal Tokens], 3 [Sword Immortal Inheritances], and 2 [Sword Immortal Enlightenments].
The next moment, Lu Chaoding used two copies of the [Sword Immortal's Inheritance] without hesitation to upgrade [Splitting Light and Shadow Sword] to LV5.
=====
Secret Technique: Splitting Light and Shadow Sword
Star rating: 3 stars
Class: Sword Immortal
Rank: LV5 (Extraordinary)
Explanation 1: Activating the skill will create thirty-two unblockable sword shadows from the main weapon. Each sword shadow has 10% of the player's attack power. When the player uses the main weapon to launch an attack, the sword shadows will follow.
Explanation 2: There is a 1% chance that hitting a target with the Splitting Light Sword Shadow will give the player a point of fighting spirit!
Note 3: When the Splitting Light Sword Shadow hits a target, there is a 1% chance that the player will recover one point of resilience!
Note 4: Consuming 4 [Sword Immortal's Legacy] and 1 [Splitting Light Jade] can upgrade the Secret Technique to LV6!
Note 4: The skill book is bound and cannot be traded.
=====
"Thirty-two sword shadows!"
Lu Chaoding was instantly excited, thinking to himself, "This is so thrilling!"
"At this rate of increase, if this secret technique reaches LV6, wouldn't it create 64 sword shadows? That's practically a bombardment!"
Suppressing his excitement, Lu Chao took out a two-star [Refined Jade].
His current two-star equipment consists of the Ruffian Sword, the back accessory [Ghost Panel Axe], and the newly acquired pendant [Giant Tiger Waist Token].
The Pifu Sword has been refined to the maximum level, and the back accessory [Ghost Panel Axe] has been refined to +1 and the [Giant Tiger Waist Token] has been refined to +0.
Without hesitation, Lu Chao used the Refinement Jade to refine the Ghost Panel Axe to +2. Looking at its attribute information, the Toughness Breaking Damage increased by 200 points, and the Double Attack Power increased by 600!
