8: Chapter 8: Insane Stat Allocation! 1860 Luck Points Make You the Chosen One!

Jiang Feng turned around, the crimson flame magic staff nearly shoved into the nostrils of one of the assassins, his tone as indifferent as if he were asking for directions.

"Since you can't break my defense, then it's my turn."

There was no fancy chanting, nor any chuunibyou skill callouts.

Point-blank, release.

Simple and brutal.

"True Bursting Flame!"

BOOM—!!

Blue-white flames exploded at extremely close range, the massive shockwave sending all six assassins flying like tattered ragdolls.

-3100!

-3250!

-3088!

...

After two consecutive Bursting Flames, terrifying damage numbers instantly filled the screen, a piercingly bright red!

Squishy, high-attack monsters like these assassins didn't even have the right to scream in the face of Jiang Feng's overflowing damage.

Their bodies were carbonized by the high temperature while still in mid-air, turning into black ash that drifted away with the wind.

[Ding! Slain Level 8 Ghost Assassin *6!]

[Triggered talent "Pangu Plunder"!]

[Plunder successful! Obtained 420 Free Attribute Points!]

His experience points also rapidly surged to 52% of Level 7; it was simply wonderful.

Ordinary people would only gain this much after reaching level seventy or eighty. Yet for Jiang Feng, it happened in the time it took to pour a cup of tea—actually, he even gained more. There was simply no logic to it.

Standing amidst the wreckage, Jiang Feng was in no hurry to move forward.

He opened his status panel, his gaze skipping over the basic attributes and landing once more on the most metaphysical and fascinating stat—[Luck].

"The Purgatory-level final boss is guaranteed to drop a Class Change Token."

"But 'War Titan' is a unique hidden class. The drop rate for its token is probably pathetically low, similar to winning the jackpot in a lottery."

Jiang Feng's eyes turned fierce. He thought to himself that in this digitized world, as long as the base value was large enough, probability was a joke.

Metaphysics can't save an unlucky player? That's just because your stats aren't high enough!

"System, allocate points!"

"Put everything into Luck! Leave nothing behind!"

[Allocation complete!]

[Luck: 1440 → 1860]

Buzz!

Although there were no visible changes to his physical attributes, when Jiang Feng casually kicked a stone by his foot, he found a gold coin pressed beneath it.

Even the mist drifting through the air seemed to deliberately avoid his nose and mouth.

1860 Luck points.

In a world where the average person's Luck was only 5 to 10 points, he was now a walking "Son of the Plane." He could probably find a gold tooth while drinking cold water.

"Right now, even if I were walking down the street, any bird droppings falling from the sky would probably be made of gold."

Jiang Feng closed his panel, adjusted his breathing, and turned his gaze toward the deepest part of the forest.

Just as he finished speaking, a Level 5 Owl mob suddenly crashed into a large tree and died, exploding into 5,000 gold coins.

"Holy crap, what a massive burst! Alright, alright, I don't have to worry about the probability of the War Titan class change dropping now! Awesome!"

Over there... the ground began to tremble violently. Countless thick vines surged out like giant pythons, churning the soil.

A decaying, ancient, and violent aura was rapidly awakening.

The final boss was clocking in.

"Rumble—"

The ground cracked open, and a twisted giant tree, at least ten stories high, rose from the earth.

Black venom flowed across its entire body, and its trunk was covered with countless pained human faces. Hundreds of vines danced wildly in the air, creating ear-piercing whistles as they tore through the wind, like a dance of demons.

[Purgatory Grade Lord · Corrupted Tree World Lord]

Level: 10

HP: 15,000/15,000

Magic Attack: 850

Defense: 800 (Bark Hardening)

Skills: Full-Screen Poison Mist, Strangling Vines, Life Drain.

Even from a hundred meters away, that suffocating sense of pressure still rushed toward him.

15,000 HP!

This was simply not an existence current players could mess with; it was a stitched-up monstrosity of a health sponge and a tank.

"Roar—!!"

The Tree World Lord let out a dull roar, the sound wave carrying dark green poison mist that instantly covered the entire area.

This was its opening move—[Full-Screen Poison Mist].

It forced a deduction of 30 HP per second and applied a 30% slow!

For an ordinary team, this was a party-wiping ultimate move.

Priests wouldn't be able to keep up with the healing, and squishy classes would have it even worse.

Jiang Feng stood in the center of the poison mist without even knitting his brows.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

The poison mist corroded the light blue Mana Shield, making an ear-grating sound.

[Mana -30]

[Mana +10]

[Mana -30]

[Mana +10]

His mana bar seemed to be decreasing at a rate of 20 points per second, but for Jiang Feng, who had over 6,000 Mana, the impact was negligible.

He looked up at the overbearing, massive tree demon, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

With the support of 1865 Luck points, this boss was no longer a monster in his eyes.

It was a super blind box labeled "Guaranteed Gold," begging him to open it.

"You're quite big. Just as well, I don't need to aim. Saves trouble."

Jiang Feng raised his crimson flame magic staff, the tip pointing directly at the Tree World Lord's hideous main head.

"Since you're a tree, I'll let you taste what it means to say 'Forest fire prevention is everyone's responsibility.'"

Boom!

A ball of Bursting Flame, more dazzling than any before, condensed wildly at the staff's tip, its color even faintly turning purple.

The ten-story-high [Corrupted Tree World Lord] seemed to sense Jiang Feng's "disrespect." Its hundreds of python-like vines instantly straightened, and the countless twisted faces on its trunk shrieked in unison, the sound waves shattering a large area of surrounding dead wood.

"Roar—!!"

The ground split apart as countless dark green spiked vines erupted from the earth, closing in like a cage in an attempt to grind Jiang Feng into mincemeat.

Skill: [Strangling Vines]!

Its physical damage coefficient was as high as 2.5 times, and it came with a forced immobilization. If a Knight of the same level were trapped by this move, even with a damage reduction shield active, their health bar would empty instantly like a leaking fish tank.

However, Jiang Feng stood his ground without even batting an eye.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Dense sounds of impact, like iron being struck, exploded. Those vines, capable of piercing through steel plates, lashed against him, but aside from causing ripples in the light blue membrane of light, their only contribution was making a string of numbers float above Jiang Feng's head.

[Mana -450]

[Mana -480]

"Is that it?"

Jiang Feng almost wanted to laugh.

Under the premise of extreme defense and a high-capacity Mana Shield, even a major skill attack wasn't enough to shake the slightest bit of Jiang Feng's foundation.

The Tree World Lord seemed to daze for a moment. Its underdeveloped plant brain clearly couldn't comprehend why a physical strangulation was ineffective against a cloth-armor class.

In its rage, its massive canopy shook violently, and a crimson energy ripple instantly enveloped Jiang Feng.

Skill: [Life Drain]!

This was its trump card—it ignored defense and drained a percentage of the enemy's health to heal itself. Once this move was used, it could instantly refill its health even in a thousand-man raid.

"Zzzzt..."

The red light coiled around Jiang Feng, but it was as if it had encountered an insulator.

[Mana Shield check in progress...]

[Damage fully transferred! Mana -400!]

"Still trying to suck blood? I think even if you use every ounce of strength you have today, you won't be able to kill me."
