The experience halo is working its magic!
Thump--!
The two elves whose health points had dropped to zero fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of purple grass fragments. Their bodies twitched a few times on the ground before dissolving into specks of green light, dissipating into the air.
At the same moment,
A dazzling light of leveling up suddenly erupted from White Night's body!
Golden light surged from within him like a tide, enveloping his entire figure. The light flickered incessantly, growing brighter and stronger, signifying White Night's level skyrocketing madly!
The experience gained from slaying two high-level elite monsters was already extremely generous. Combined with the hundredfold experience amplification effect on him kicking in once more, his experience bar soared as if riding a rocket!
Lv101! Lv105! Lv110!... His level kept jumping, and the power within his body surged wildly along with it. It felt as if warm currents were coursing through his meridians. With every flicker of light, his aura grew stronger by a fraction!
...After a good while, the leveling light gradually subsided.
The golden halo enveloping White Night receded slowly like an ebbing tide, revealing his tall and straight figure.
White Night felt the surging, explosive power within his body. Each breath carried a powerful current of air, and every limb and joint seemed filled with inexhaustible strength. He couldn't help but let out a comfortable, light hum.
This feeling of overflowing power was several times more intense than when he had broken through to Lv100 earlier. It felt as if he could shake the very earth with a mere gesture!
...Then.
White Night snapped back to reality. With a slight stir of his mind, he eagerly summoned his personal status panel in his consciousness.
A pale blue virtual screen slowly unfolded before him:
[Name: White Night]
Class: Swordsman
Level: Lv128
Health: 35 million
Mana: 23,000
Attributes: Strength 11,000, Spirit 3,100, Agility 7,200, Constitution 4,200
Skills: Basic Fighting Art... Demon Prison Blood Fiend Slash... Swordsmanship Block, Heavy Blade Cleave... Prairie Fire Eruption Slash, Cold River Stab... Looking at the numbers on the panel, White Night's eyes instantly lit up, and an irrepressible look of pleasant surprise spread across his face.
He had leveled up all the way to Lv128 in one go!
From Lv100 to Lv128, a full leap of 28 levels! This was an upgrade speed unimaginable to outsiders!
All his attributes had consequently received massive boosts!
His Strength had broken through the ten thousand mark. Agility and Constitution had also seen significant growth. Especially his Health, which had directly skyrocketed to 35 million—absolutely terrifying!
At the same time, two skill names he had never seen before had appeared in his skill list!
He had also awakened two new skills — [Prairie Fire Eruption Slash] and [Cold River Stab]!
Just hearing the names gave off a sense of sharp, imposing momentum!
The detailed information for the two new skills was as follows:
[Prairie Fire Eruption Slash]
Type: Active Skill
Effect: Consumes 1,800 Mana to infuse the weapon with violent fire element, covering the weapon in fiercely burning flames.
Then, swing the longsword to release a giant flame slash seven meters wide, dealing 320% Strength-based fire and physical hybrid damage to targets in a straight line ahead!
Upon landing, the slash triggers a violent area-of-effect flame explosion, dealing 200% Strength-based continuous burning damage to all targets within a ten-meter radius. The burning effect lasts 6 seconds...
[Cold River Stab]
Type: Active Skill
Effect: Consumes 1,500 Mana to condense piercing ice element onto the weapon, covering it in a thick layer of frost.
Can transform into a streak of blue light to dash forward, launching a swift piercing attack against the first target in the path, dealing 300% Strength-based ice and physical hybrid damage!
Upon hitting the target, it inflicts a 'Frozen' state (unable to move or use skills, lasts 3 seconds) and applies a 'Deep Frostbite' effect (suffers 800 ice damage per second, lasts 12 seconds).
During the piercing dash, White Night himself is in a 'Frost Shadow Protection' state, reducing all damage taken by 30%...
"Such powerful new skills!"
White Night couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
The large-area flame damage and continuous burning effect of [Prairie Fire Eruption Slash] made it a perfect weapon for group battles.
And the dash, crowd control, and high single-target damage of [Cold River Stab] made it an excellent tool for one-on-one duels!
With these two new skills and the attribute boosts, his combat power had absolutely skyrocketed!
Against monsters of the same level, he probably only needed one move to finish them off.
"Two elite-tier units, and not even a single treasure chest dropped... What a pity..."
White Night shook his head lightly, glancing somewhat helplessly at the spot where the Wind Spirit's corpse had dissipated.
Previously, slaying monsters always yielded some rewards, but this time, there was absolutely nothing. It inevitably felt a bit regrettable.
However, he didn't dwell on it too much. After all, the level increase and the awakening of new skills were already the greatest rewards.
He patted the dust off his clothes, brushed away the grass fragments clinging to him, and then followed the stream, heading upstream.
The clear stream water flowed by his feet, making a gurgling sound. Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, sprinkling onto the water's surface and creating shimmering ripples.
As he advanced, the surrounding scenery gradually changed. Low shrubs began to appear among the purple grassland, and occasionally, a few colorful ordinary small animals could be seen scurrying past... After a dozen or so minutes, on a huge, oddly-shaped rock beside a pond, he encountered another Wind Spirit!
This time, this Wind Spirit appeared somewhat older.
The previous two Wind Spirits were youthful in appearance, with agile and energetic builds.
This one, however, had a middle-aged appearance. His figure was similarly slender, but there was an added air of steadiness and authority between his brows. His pale green skin bore some fine, intricate patterns, seemingly marks left by the passage of time.
He sat cross-legged on that protruding rock, as if an intangible aura enveloped him. Even though he was merely standing casually, it seemed to pacify the wind around him, even making the sound of the flowing stream seem somewhat muted.
Sunlight falling upon him appeared to be refracted by a faint curtain of wind, revealing only a blurred outline. His specific expression was unclear, as if he had merged with the wind of this grassland—both truly present and ethereally elusive.
In his hand, a weapon even more ancient than Enkai's longsword was tilted towards the ground. The blade flowed with a faint cyan luster, and the wind patterns carved upon it seemed to slowly ripple, as if containing the entire grassland's power of wind.
Even from a distance of several dozen meters, White Night could sense a faint, almost imperceptible pressure. This pressure wasn't as frenzied as the monster horde's, nor as domineering as the will behind the spatial rift. It was as serene as the deep sea, yet contained enough power to overturn heaven and earth, making one dare not easily gauge its depth!
White Night focused his gaze, instantly locking onto the other with his spiritual sense. Immediately, the attribute information of this Wind Spirit appeared before his eyes:
[Name: Wind Spirit · Shaka]
Tier: King
Level: Lv150
Health: 2 million
Skills: Wind Spirit Body, Wind Shadow Flash Strike, Whirlwind Thrust... Windfall · Heaven and Earth Sundering Strike, Windfall · Thousand Split Instant Kill...
