219: Chapter 219 Attribute Points Reached the Limit! The Crisis Brought by Fusion Power!

In a daze, Director Yun Wenhong entered the Rank 85 Dungeon again.

It wasn't until he saw the monsters that he snapped out of it.

How was it possible to enter consecutively?

The cost to reset a Dungeon of this level should be enormous, right?

He only realized after glancing at the System notification.

This was actually a newly activated Hell difficulty!

This was his first time entering a Dungeon of this difficulty level.

Just seeing the attributes of the first monster made him involuntarily step back a few times.

He felt...

He couldn't even defeat any random small monster in here!

It seemed he wouldn't be of any use.

Having given up from the start, Director Yun Wenhong began to observe the others' performance.

The attacks of the [Fearless Sword Puppet] were still sharp.

But as they pushed further.

It was difficult to kill the Leader directly.

The elite monsters could even withstand two consecutive attacks from the Sword Puppet.

They were no longer cannon fodder that could be easily harvested.

Even so.

Director Yun Wenhong watched with envy.

Zhang Jian possessed a terrifying strength from who knows where; he was far behind.

Wang Wei and He Zhongtang were not as good as him before.

They were completely relying on the Sword Puppets refined by Zhang Jian to face such a Dungeon calmly.

If only he had such a Sword Puppet...

A thought arose in his heart.

The subsequent battle was calm.

It was only when they encountered the final BOSS that a situation occurred.

This Rank 85 mythical level BOSS was originally not taken seriously by Zhang Jian.

As a result, because his first sword strike triggered a critical hit, it directly reduced the opponent to low health.

It actually triggered the final stage directly.

The BOSS Rank evolved, reaching Rank 90.

Although the increase in various attributes was only between 20% - 50%, it didn't have much impact on Zhang Jian.

However, after it reached Rank 90, it activated two brand-new skills.

One was to release several Clones, which could attack all team members indiscriminately.

He Zhongtang and Wang Donghai could barely withstand it.

But Director Yun Wenhong was only attacked once, and his health dropped by more than half.

Wang Wei had no choice but to send out his own [Guardian Sword Puppet] to protect Director Yun Wenhong.

Zhang Jian's mind was also somewhat affected.

The BOSS took the opportunity to release another skill on Zhang Jian.

It directly temporarily sealed all of his equipment.

After losing the attribute bonuses from his equipment, Zhang Jian's strength was naturally greatly reduced.

Although he could barely hold on by relying on skills, his damage output was much lower.

Finally.

He still relied on the two traits [Shaking the Gods with a Mortal Body] and [Combo Resonance] to grind the BOSS to death.

It just took a lot more time.

Although they eventually cleared the Dungeon in 21 minutes and 33 seconds.

And obtained an S+ Rank evaluation.

But the final perfect evaluation only increased the drop rate of this Dungeon by 10%.

It was still a bit short of the extreme Rank.

Zhang Jian felt some regret.

But the others were already full of admiration for him.

And Zhang Jian, who originally planned to go to the Rank 90 Dungeon, also changed his mind.

Judging by the situation just now, the increase in difficulty from the Rank 85 Dungeon to the Rank 90 Dungeon must be significant.

If he were to try and get an extreme Rank evaluation in a Hell difficulty Dungeon while his equipment was restricted, it would likely be very difficult.

After leaving the Dungeon, Director Yun Wenhong engaged in self-reflection, leading the others to constantly comfort him.

Zhang Jian also felt a bit apologetic.

He had been a bit too hasty in dragging him in.

And when Director Yun Wenhong asked if he could help him refine a Sword Puppet, Zhang Jian agreed immediately.

The other party had been diligently serving him recently, without any airs of a director.

It was a good opportunity to help him.

Wang Wei and the other two followed Zhang Jian to clear the Dungeon four times, and the harvest was huge.

In terms of experience alone, they had already announced their early graduation.

And as for equipment and skills, although they repeatedly stated they didn't need them.

Zhang Jian still let each of them pick two.

Finally.

Each of them received two active skills of mythical level and one passive skill of mythical level.

The reason Zhang Jian gave was that he was short on epic-grade ones, while mythical level ones could be accumulated slowly.

The few people secretly made up their minds.

They must pay more attention in the future and actively look for rare epic-grade passive skills from various channels to offer to Zhang Jian.

The three of them had followed the battle for a few waves just now, and they hadn't really made a move themselves, so they were still feeling unfulfilled.

They made an appointment to go out together.

The Dungeons in the academy suitable for them had all been cycled through today.

But there were still plenty of Dungeons outside.

They had never been so eager to improve their strength as they were today.

The three left, and Director Yun Wenhong returned to the Materials warehouse with Zhang Jian.

Back on his own turf, he felt much more relaxed.

He personally prepared enough Materials for refining three Sword Puppets.

Of course, the contribution points required for these Materials were all provided by him entirely.

Not having to spend his own money put Zhang Jian in a good mood.

Soon, he finished consuming the Materials for the three.

His luck was good this time, refining one [Fearless Sword Puppet] and one [Guardian Sword Puppet] each.

After careful consideration, Director Yun Wenhong chose the [Guardian Sword Puppet], wanting to ensure his survival ability first.

Just that.

When Zhang Jian chose to bind and convert it into a living creature.

He received an unexpected notification.

"The number of living creatures you have currently converted has reached the limit. Please try again after increasing your Rank."

Only then did Zhang Jian discover.

A few lines of text appeared in the Sword Puppet interface.

Sword Puppets that can be bound by oneself at the same time: 4 (Current Rank / 10)

Sword Puppets bound by others: 40 (Current Rank)

Living Sword Puppets bound by others: 16 (Rank * Rank * 0.01)

According to this standard.

Wang Fei and the others had 10, and the patrol office had 6.

It had indeed just reached the binding limit.

And to increase this number, Zhang Jian needed to level up.

According to the calculation formula, he only needed to level up two more times to convert another living Sword Puppet.

For convenience, Zhang Jian simply decided to level up to Rank 50.

Previously, staying at a certain Rank was mainly to take advantage of the level-skipping bonus and farm more experience.

And to increase the Dungeon evaluation by relying on the level-skipping bonus.

But now.

Just the living Sword Puppets alone were equivalent to having 16 Clones.

Combined with the strength of Wang Fei's entire team and Wang Wei's group.

It meant that there were people helping Zhang Jian farm experience and clear Dungeons every moment.

He didn't need to go out himself and work hard to find suitable Dungeons one by one anymore.

At least.

Currently, Rank 40 to Rank 50 Dungeons, even at Hell difficulty, were no longer difficult for Wang Fei's team.

Zhang Jian could completely let go.

After organizing the passive skills suitable for him during this period.

Zhang Jian started leveling up directly.

"You consumed 138.75 million experience points."

"You have reached Rank 41."

"All your attributes +3, you gained 30 free attribute points."

"Under the effect of [Class Growth Mastery], you gained 0.5% critical hit rate and 1% critical hit damage."

"You consumed 162.99 million experience points."

"You have reached Rank 42."

"All your attributes +3, you gained..."

"Under the effect of [Class Growth Mastery], you gained..."

"You consumed 187.05 million experience points."

"You have reached Rank 43."

...

After consuming over 2.6 billion experience points in succession.

"You have reached Rank 50."

"All your attributes +3, you gained 30 free attribute points."

"Under the effect of [Class Growth Mastery], you gained 0.5% critical hit rate and 1% critical hit damage."

He leveled up 10 times in a row, increasing all attributes by 30 and gaining 300 free attribute points.

The reason for so much.

Was because as a unique Heavenly Dao Professional, the base upgrade attribute points for [Sword Domain Sovereign] were 15 points.

And after the Second Job Change, the upgrade reward doubled, directly increasing to 30 points.

And these 10 levels also brought 5% critical hit rate and 10% critical hit damage.

Although for Zhang Jian's current panel, this bonus didn't seem to mean much, it was still an improvement, better than nothing.

With the increase in Rank, the limit of [Soul Leap] was raised again, reaching 25,000 points.

Zhang Jian subconsciously started consuming experience to convert.

As a result.

Just after converting a few hundred points, a blood-red notification popped up.

"Your total attribute points have reached the current Professional limit. Please perform Fusion strength before increasing again."

Zhang Jian's eyes froze.

Attribute points also have a limit?

He took a look.

The five-dimensional attributes added up to 50,000 points.

Zhang Jian couldn't believe it; were his base attributes this high?

He flipped through the panel and discovered the source of such a large increase.

[Dao Law Convergence] (mythical level)

For every legendary rank passive skill you learn, you will gain an additional 30 points to all attributes.

For every epic-grade passive skill you learn, you will gain an additional 200 points to all attributes.

For every mythical level passive skill you learn, you will gain an additional 1000 points to all attributes.

Currently learned: [Sword Soul Power] (legendary), [Sword Qi Extension] (legendary), [Sword Heart Insight] (legendary), [Critical Hit Mastery] (legendary) X2, [Strength Enhancement] (legendary rank), [Stamina Enhancement] (legendary rank), [Spirit Enhancement] (legendary rank), [Boundless Sword Domain] (epic-grade), [Sword Heart Clarity] (epic-grade), [Agility Enhancement] (epic-grade) X2, [Strength Enhancement] (epic-grade) X3, [Stamina Enhancement] (epic-grade) X2, [Soul Leap] (mythical level), [Life Sublimation] (mythical level)

Currently added all attributes: 4040

(Upgrade trait quality still needed: Currently cannot continue to upgrade)

This mythical level trait, as he learned more and more passive skills, also bloomed with dazzling light.

This trait alone brought him over 20,000 total attribute points.

The System's notification also let Zhang Jian know.

So 50,000 points was the current limit for Professionals on Water Blue Planet.

I wonder how many attribute points Senior Xuan Jizi had before he converted his strength?

Zhang Jian thought to himself.

Since the Rank had been increased, Zhang Jian prepared to refine for Director Yun Wenhong first.

"Cannot perform any operations before the attributes are fully fused."

This notification made him somewhat helpless.

It made him feel a bit embarrassed.

Fortunately, after Director Yun Wenhong learned the reason, he had no displeasure at all.

Instead, he was excited and wanted to witness the scene of attribute Fusion.

Zhang Jian naturally had no problem.

He directly selected the [Start Fusion] option from the panel.

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed.

Countless invisible fluctuations violently shook from Zhang Jian's body.

This power came extremely suddenly.

Director Yun Wenhong was caught off guard and fell, sprawling on the ground.

He looked up in panic, trying hard to see Zhang Jian's situation.

He found that the aura on the other's body was changing back and forth.

Before long.

The original external fluctuations gradually became stable.

Slowly, it turned into strands of suction.

The Sword Puppet Materials nearby that had just been decomposed were directly lifted up by this suction and fell into Zhang Jian's body.

In Director Yun Wenhong's shocked eyes, they disappeared.

Did he just absorb the Materials directly?

Director Yun Wenhong guessed.

And this absorption was just the beginning.

In addition to the Sword Puppet Materials, even other Materials placed on the nearby shelves floated up one after another and flew towards Zhang Jian.

epic-grade material, [Soul of Iron Essence].

epic-grade material, [Merman's Tears].

Each piece of material was absorbed by Zhang Jian under the attraction of the strange fluctuations on his body.

Director Yun Wenhong observed patiently for a while.

He found that after Zhang Jian absorbed these Materials, there was nothing unusual.

Instead, his own aura became more stable.

And faintly revealed a more powerful and natural feeling.

Does attribute Fusion require consuming precious Materials?

Director Yun Wenhong had a realization in his heart.

Time passed minute by minute.

The Materials around Zhang Jian became less and less.

About two hours after the Fusion started.

Almost all the Materials in Director Yun Wenhong's sight had been absorbed and fused by Zhang Jian, disappearing without a trace.

The reason why it was said to be almost.

Was because what was absorbed were at least epic-grade Materials.

What remained were only a few individual legendary rank Materials.

This left Director Yun Wenhong somewhat dumbfounded.

Is the requirement for this Fusion directly looking down on legendary rank Materials?

And after he gritted his teeth and exchanged for a mythical level material from another warehouse, and threw it towards Zhang Jian's direction boldly.

The suction around Zhang Jian suddenly became lively.

It seemed to be saying.

Yes, I want this stuff!

Director Yun Wenhong was speechless.

Big brother, this stuff is expensive, you just absorb it!

Fortunately.

Zhang Jian took more than half an hour to absorb this mythical level material completely.

Director Yun Wenhong waited patiently on the side.

And after Zhang Jian finished absorbing the mythical material.

Another full hour passed.

Zhang Jian, who had his eyes closed, suddenly frowned, his expression faintly showing a bit of pain.

The suction around him kept circling his body and making a mournful sound.

It seemed to be saying.

I need Materials!

Director Yun Wenhong's expression was slightly conflicted, and then he made up his mind.

Since that's the case, then I'll go all out!

He exchanged all his contribution points for epic-grade Materials and placed them beside Zhang Jian.

After consuming them all, he even used his authority to overdraw a portion of his credit.

But when Director Yun Wenhong became penniless and owed the academy a large amount of contribution points.

Zhang Jian's Fusion had not yet ended.

The mournful sound of the suction became even sharper.

In his desperation, Director Yun Wenhong thought of Xuan Jizi's previous instructions.

Would the former academy Reception Envoy, now the acting dean, have any way?

He hurriedly contacted the other party through his personal terminal.
