53: Wind skills, legendary equipment

"Bang!"

As the Level 60 Bloodthirsty Long-Haired Tiger in front of him fell, Ye Xiao glanced at his own level.

Level 70.

The first phase of Path of Exile lasts 24 hours.

After 24 hours, it automatically enters the second phase.

However, at this moment, Ye Xiao began to feel a little depressed.

He had been in Path of Exile for less than 10 minutes.

He had already leveled up 10 times.

Moreover, the level of each wave of monsters would be 1 level higher than the previous wave.

Calculated this way, he would probably reach Level 90 in just a few hours.

Such leveling speed was unprecedented.

According to the data, Zhao Hao, two years ago, when he exited Path of Exile, his level had just reached the promotion threshold for the secondTurn, Level 60.

This was already the fastest record ever.

And Ye Xiao not only broke this record in a few minutes, but the amount of experience needed to level up from Level 60 to Level 70 was much more than what Zhao Hao needed.

All of this was also due to Ye Xiao's monster clearing speed; his solo efficiency was more than five times faster than a party's.

Furthermore, on top of the triple experience, an additional 13 times was stacked.

Adding in the extra experience bonus, Ye Xiao's current leveling speed was more than three hundred times that of normal outdoor leveling.

Calculated this way, it seemed reasonable.

Ye Xiao thought to himself.

At the same time, with the end of the tenth wave of monsters, Ye Xiao also encountered his first elite monster.

---

【Skeleton Commander · Wind (Elite)】

【Level: 60】

【Health: 100000】

【Attack: 3300】

【Defense: 2400】

【Skills: Skeleton Summon, Wrath of the Storm, Gale Shield】

【Description: A withered bone buried in the eye of the storm, constantly eroded by wind elements, giving it mastery over powerful storm forces. It can use storm attacks in battle to quickly defeat enemies.】

---

As soon as the Skeleton Commander appeared, Ye Xiao immediately felt the airflow on both sides of the passage become sharp.

However, the Skeleton Commander's attributes posed no significant threat to newcomers like Bai Xiaoxiao, let alone Ye Xiao.

Especially since the wind attribute was like adding wings to a tiger for Ye Xiao's Fireball.

A large number of Fireballs surged out, swiftly striking the Skeleton Commander with the help of the light wind.

"Snap!"

The abundant wind elements made the flames even fiercer.

In the next instant, the Skeleton Commander turned into a pile of ashes.

---

【Ding! You killed Skeleton Commander · Wind (Elite), gaining 287451 experience points.】

---

As the Skeleton Commander fell, a golden light flashed.

It was a legendary piece of equipment.

Besides that, there was also a Skill Stone next to it.

Ye Xiao's eyes lit up, and he picked it up casually.

He first looked at the Skill Stone' description.

---

【Whirlwind Slash (Advanced): Consumes 60 Mana, releases a spinning wind blade, dealing 180 + 0.8 (Intelligence) points of wind damage to the target and knocking it back.】

---

It was actually a rare wind-element Skill.

Ye Xiao was a bit surprised.

The reason why he had not learned any other elemental damage skills besides Fireball until now.

Aside from initially focusing on stacking Fireball to more efficiently increase his combat power, the most important point was that other elemental skills were relatively scarce.

For example, for wind-element, in the currently known secret realms, there were not many opportunities to drop wind-related skills.

Furthermore, the wind-element Skill Stone dropped in those few secret realms all required mages of at least the secondchange to learn.

This led to a severe lack of low-level wind-element skills.

Ye Xiao even failed to find any wind-element skills he could learn in the early stages.

This was also why mages in the Eternal World were generally fire-element-focused.

He didn't expect that a wind-element Skill Stone could also be produced in Path of Exile.

It was quite a pleasant surprise.

It must be said that the damage of this Whirlwind Slash was indeed quite a bit higher than Fireball.

With Ye Xiao's current Intelligence, one Whirlwind Slash could deal 2136 points of wind damage.

Unfortunately, this Whirlwind Slash belonged to an advanced Skill Stone.

It was only sold in the exchange of the beginner area.

At this stage, he couldn't stack it up like Fireball.

However, Ye Xiao didn't lack Skill slots anyway.

Without a second thought, he learned it directly.

Next, Ye Xiao began to examine the legendary equipment in his hand.

It was a pair of trousers.

---

【skeleton trousers (Legendary)】

【Agility + 180】

【Intelligence + 120】

【Effect One: Movement Speed increased by 30%】

【Effect Two: All your skills are empowered by wind, increasing hit rate by 50%】

【Wearing Level: Level 70】

---

After all, it was legendary quality; although its overall attributes were not as good as mythical equipment.

But at the current stage, it was still a small top-tier item.

Ye Xiao directly refined it.

Subsequently, the skeleton trousers gained an additional refinement attribute.

【Refinement Effect: Each time you cast a skill, movement speed increases by 10% for 10 seconds. Upon casting another skill, this effect stacks and resets the duration.】

Ye Xiao was overjoyed.

If he only looked at the refinement effect, it was barely decent.

But he was already accustomed to his Super God Talent.

Ye Xiao was very clear about how much this refinement effect would boost him.

Under the blessing of dual casting, he could now cast a total of 100 Level 1 Fireballs.

Calculated at 10% movement speed increase per cast, 100 casts would increase it by 1000%.

Which was equivalent to 10 times.

If calculated by the second, Ye Xiao could cast 200 Fireballs per second.

Then his movement speed would be equivalent to a 20-fold increase.

Coupled with the Divinity Speed skill.

In this world, probably few people could catch a glimpse of him.

Unless using indiscriminate large-area attacks, otherwise any single-target damage would be very difficult to hit him.

Originally, Ye Xiao thought these skeleton trousers were just for temporary use.

Although legendary equipment was also quite precious.

But Ye Xiao, already somewhat accustomed to mythical equipment, didn't pay too much attention to them.

But now with this refinement effect.

Unless the next equipment he replaced could also be refined with the same effect.

Otherwise, these skeleton trousers would be irreplaceable.

He happily put on the equipment.

Just then, a new wave of monsters appeared.

Without a word, Ye Xiao hurled a Fireball.

He didn't care about the monster's fate, but rather felt his feet, light as wind.

In the next instant, he vanished from his original spot as if teleporting.

When he reappeared, he was already at the other end of the passage.

Looking at this terrifying movement speed, Ye Xiao's heart was filled with indescribable joy.
