#106Piracy myth, turne
I gently tapped the crystal-clear screen, and a wave of blue ripples immediately spread out from my fingertip. Everyone's breathing almost stopped at that moment—
"Ding~!"
System Message: Congratulations to player Qing Cai Bai Yu Tang for receiving a special reward!
System Message: Congratulations on receiving a special reward. The system will enhance one of your skills. Please choose a skill!
The screen in front of me started to flicker again, displaying my various skills.
Things happened so fast that I was a bit stunned. No purple equipment, no high-level skill book, but instead, a skill enhancement. What was going on?
Since it was already like this, I didn't think much of it and just pressed down. A personal system message immediately appeared—
"Ding~!"
System Message: Congratulations! Your innate skill, Stealth, has been enhanced and officially upgraded to Enhanced Stealth!
Some people on the sidelines started to make a commotion because they couldn't see my reward. Several Little beauty's text messages had already arrived, and this competition officially ended here. I saw my level increase by 3 levels, and I was now level 38. No matter what, the competition was worth it!
"Ding~!"
System Message: This Champion Challenge has officially ended. Players who entered the top 32, please use the system-configured phone to contact our customer service department to confirm your bank account. We will transfer the reward amount to your account within three working days!
"Ding~!"
System Message: The server will undergo maintenance at 23:00 tonight. Maintenance will last for 1 hour. After maintenance, the teleportation function for the four major cities will be activated!
With a whoosh, everyone was teleported out of the competition arena. Only then did I have time to see what my innate skill had been enhanced into—
Enhanced Stealth: Uses the power of space to enter darkness. Movement speed is reduced by 10%. Skill cooldown is 10 seconds. In combat, you can forcefully enter Stealth mode using fluorescent powder!
I was stunned, rubbing my eyes hard to confirm that it was real! This was a super enhanced version of the Thief skill, Stealth. As far as I knew, a Thief's Stealth reduced movement speed by 50%, but my Enhanced Stealth only reduced it by 10%. Combined with my extremely high agility points, it was practically no slowdown. More importantly, the cooldown for a typical Thief's Stealth was 30 seconds, while my skill's cooldown was only 10 seconds. This meant I could re-enter Stealth after 10 seconds of activating it. Paired with Swordsman Swiftness, a skill that increases attack speed and movement speed, 55555555, a great Thief was born!!
"Hey~! What skill was enhanced exactly?"
A delicate, snowy hand patted my shoulder. Only then did I remember that Murong Shanshan, who had been with me in the Cathedral for the past two days, had also been teleported into the Cathedral.
Just as I was wondering whether to tell her, she suddenly said with a mischievous smile, "Lin Fan, let's duel again, shall we?"
Alright, let's test out how Enhanced Stealth really works!
"Wait a moment, I'll be right back!"
I quickly ran out of the Cathedral and bought three large bags of 100/100 fluorescent powder from a street vendor. Murong Shanshan, your excellent control won't help you this time!
Upon entering the Cathedral, Murong Shanshan grabbed me and was about to run to the back courtyard of the Cathedral. I quickly stopped her, saying, "Wait, the back of the Cathedral is guarded by heavily armored NPC Knights. Am I going there to seek death with my red name?"
Murong Shanshan immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Idiot, you've already turned green from the past two days of competition. Look for yourself!"
I took a closer look, and indeed, I was no longer red. Another thing worth celebrating!
Looking at the beauty beside me, she was now level 34. With two pieces of purple equipment, I wondered how formidable she had become. With curiosity, I asked, "Shanshan, can you share your attribute panel? I want to see..."
Murong Shanshan didn't hesitate and shared her attributes:
Murong Shanshan (Swordsman)
Level: 34
Health: 3220
Attack: 475-620
Defense: 442
Reputation: 12300
Luck: 0
...I couldn't help but gasp. The defense added by purple equipment was truly extraordinary. Murong Shanshan's health and defense now completely surpassed mine. Her attack was only slightly lower, but with her control, this small gap was no longer important.
Murong Shanshan smiled triumphantly and said, "There aren't many players behind here, let's hurry in!"
After reaching the open area, Murong Shanshan immediately challenged me. The battle began three seconds later!
I had already set Enhanced Stealth as a hotkey and immediately entered Stealth mode. Watching my body gradually disappear into the air, the feeling was incredibly exhilarating!
Murong Shanshan was stunned. A living person had just vanished in front of her, which was beyond her comprehension.
"Wow, this guy isn't scared and offline, is he?" Murong Shanshan muttered to herself.
My movement speed was only reduced by 10%. I quickly moved behind Murong Shanshan. Watching the Little beauty look around with blinking eyes, I actually felt a little uneasy. She was too beautiful, beautiful enough to make one's heart ache!
"Crack~!"
A few snowflakes drifted through the air. The sword of darkness, carrying the icy power of Ice Seal Slash, struck Murong Shanshan from the void, followed by a Combo and Heavy Strike combination!
"432!"
"224!"
"212!"
"204!"
"314!"
Shocking, it was truly shocking! Previously, this series of skills would have instantly killed Murong Shanshan, but now it only managed to deplete her health by 1300+.
Murong Shanshan was no pushover. Within 0.1 seconds of being frozen, she used her ice-breaking skill. The elegant night elf sword, trailing ice blossoms, flew towards me, followed by a Combo + Heavy Strike!
I also took 1300+ damage, but the most critical part was that the power of Murong Shanshan's Frost Slash had not yet dissipated. I quickly activated Swordsman Swiftness and fled in the opposite direction. My attack speed was reduced, and clashing with Murong Shanshan head-on now would only be suicide.
Murong Shanshan showed no mercy. After a normal attack, a sword aura shot out from her hand. I finally endured the 10-second cooldown for Stealth, scattered fluorescent powder, and disappeared into the air again. Looking at my health, I had less than 1000 left, while Murong Shanshan still had about 1700+ health.
I couldn't wait. If Murong Shanshan's skill cooldowns fully recovered, it would be over!
I secretly Stealthed behind the beautiful Swordsman. Combo and Heavy Strike burst out within 0.1 seconds. I didn't hesitate at all, quickly leaving before Murong Shanshan could turn around. The increased movement speed from Swordsman Swiftness truly made me feel like I came and went like the wind... By the time the second 10-second cooldown was up, Murong Shanshan had already collapsed. As I became more proficient in using Stealth, Murong Shanshan couldn't even touch me, and most of her sword auras missed.
"I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore!" Murong Shanshan huffily sat on the ground and exited the duel.
