8: Chapter 8: Instant Kill Across Levels! [The More You Explode, the More Fun You Have] The Terrifying Nature of the Entry!

Zhang Jian hadn't even had time to enjoy the joy of leveling up before he was stunned by the newly acquired affix.

What?

Leveling up gives you affixes?

That's a bit much!

But, I like it.

Heh heh!

[Class Growth Mastery] (Legendary)

For every Rank you increase, you gain an additional 0.5% Critical Hit Rate and 1% Critical Damage.

(To upgrade affix quality, you still need: 1 affix of the same quality and Rank)

Seeing this affix, Zhang Jian couldn't help but gasp.

His whole body was trembling.

Getting 0.5% Critical Hit Rate and 1% Critical Damage for free every Rank?

Isn't this too fake?

If he remembered correctly, the ordinary Swordsman class only passively increases Critical Hit Rate by 2% every ten Ranks.

Even for an Assassin, who is famous for critical hits, they only increase their Critical Hit Rate by 5% every ten Ranks.

And now?

This affix alone is equivalent to attaching the bonus effect of an Assassin.

He sighed a little.

This cheat is a bit conscience-less!

But since he's the one cheating? Then it's fine.

Zhang Jian couldn't help but start doing the math.

By the time he reaches the second class advancement, he would naturally have 25.5% Critical Hit Rate.

Adding in the base attribute bonuses and the special attributes of equipment, easily Breakthrough 30%, or even higher, is possible.

Not to mention.

Every Rank also grants an additional 1% Critical Damage.

By then.

The red critical hit damage numbers he slashes out will probably wipe the monster's health bar instantly.

"No wonder everyone says the ordinary Swordsman is a trash class."

Zhang Jian mocked himself.

The ordinary Swordsman's initial 1% Critical Hit Rate advantage can only be maintained until Rank 10.

And under normal circumstances.

Their attack growth is lower than a Warrior, their attack range can't compare to an Archer or Mage, and their critical hit efficiency is far worse than an Assassin.

Adding attribute points is simply a struggle.

Having to carefully calculate between Strength, Agility, and even Stamina and Constitution.

Just like a beggar holding a broken bowl on the street.

But now?

He unhesitatingly dumped all 5 free attribute points into Strength.

As his Rank continuously increases, his Critical Hit Rate will gradually stack up.

The attack gained from every point of Strength will be amplifying the final damage result.

Those peers who still have to split attributes to add Agility to increase attack speed and critical damage are like scraping with a toothpick.

And him.

He is a straight-up critical hit maniac with abnormal damage!

Just thinking about the guaranteed nearly 50% base Critical Hit Rate at Rank 99 makes it hard for Zhang Jian to keep his grin in check.

If the affix has another chance to evolve, won't every basic sword swing easily result in a critical hit?

By then.

Whatever second-advancement Shadow Dancer, or third-advancement Blood-Weeping Berserker.

In the face of absolute Critical Hit Rate, they are all little brothers!

Looking at the changed panel after adding points, Zhang Jian couldn't help but flick the sword in his hand.

When my sword blooms with a wild tide of critical hits.

Everyone on Blue Star will understand one truth.

There are no trash classes, only cheaters with hacks!

And just after he finished adding points again.

Zhang Jian glanced at the panel.

At this moment, his Critical Hit Rate has reached 2%, and his Critical Damage has even increased to 178%.

Zhang Jian was somewhat incredulous.

It didn't start increasing from the moment the affix was obtained, but actually counted everything from before and compensated for it?

King of Affixes, it truly is terrifying!

Calming his mood, Zhang Jian continued to throw himself into the battle.

-87! (Critical)

-132! -132! -132! -132! -132!

A huge, blood-red number mixed in with several pure white normal damage numbers, looking extremely striking.

After this sword strike dealt critical damage, it accumulated a total of 737 points of damage.

The monster's Health was almost halved.

Zhang Jian struck again, directly taking it out.

"You triggered a critical hit effect for the first time, triggering [King of Affixes], you have obtained the special affix [The More Crits the Merrier]."

[The More Crits the Merrier] (Excellent)

Every time you trigger a critical hit effect, you will accumulate 1% progress. When it reaches 100%, your next attack will definitely be a critical hit, and the critical damage will be increased to 1000% of the original magnitude.

(To upgrade affix quality, you still need: 1 special affix of the same quality)

Zhang Jian took a deep breath.

Another affix obtained!

It's just that.

This affix doesn't take effect immediately; it needs to be accumulated slowly to be released all at once.

It is quite suitable for saving up to use on a BOSS.

Take it slow!

Zhang Jian continued to farm the monsters in front of him.

With his current offensive ability, even without a critical hit, he could finish off a Rank 4 small monster in at most two sword strikes.

After a few strikes, he triggered another critical hit.

Zhang Jian was initially a bit surprised.

But thinking about it, it's considered normal.

Although a 2% Critical Hit Rate seems like it needs at least 50 attacks to have a chance to trigger.

But every time he attacks, he can strike 6 times in a row.

This greatly increased the probability of triggering a critical hit.

And.

There was an unexpected surprise.

After landing one critical hit, it actually accumulated 4 points of affix progress at once.

Zhang Jian guessed it might be the effect of the over-Rank bonus.

Now, he was fired up.

At this rate, wouldn't he be able to unleash the final effect after triggering 25 critical hits?

He accelerated his attack speed.

Soon.

After killing dozens of monsters.

"You gained 48 (+57) EXP."

"You used [Sword Qi Slash] to successfully kill a normal monster 3 Ranks higher than yourself, your kill progress increased by 8 points!"

"[The More Crits the Merrier] progress has reached 100%, your next attack will definitely be a critical hit, critical damage increased to 1780%."

Zhang Jian's spirits were lifted.

He began to search for suitable monsters.

Small monsters were definitely not being considered.

Rank 4 Boss?

2000 Health, seems like just so-so?

Rank 5 Boss?

2800 Health, seems not strong enough.

Zhang Jian searched around slowly.

Until.

A huge monster with a blue halo flickering under its feet and an astonishing Aura came into view.

[Berserk Blue-Eyed Hound] (Elite)

Rank: 5

Health: 5800

Damage: 58

Defense: 29

Skills: Swift Run, Berserk Bite

After reading the opponent's attributes, Zhang Jian's eyes lit up.

You are the one!

High attack and low health, the only two skills are also auxiliary and attack-enhancing effects.

Just right for bearing this ultimate move he had been brewing.

He quietly crept up in front of the opponent.

But just when he was not too far away.

The monster suddenly raised its head vigilantly, light flickering in its eyes.

The next moment.

It pushed off with its hind legs and charged straight at Zhang Jian.

It was actually an active-attack monster!

The sharp claws flashing with cold light carried a chilling threat, which was alarming.

But Zhang Jian was not panicked.

Just as its figure entered his attack range, he decisively swung his sword.

-658! (Critical)

-2348! (Critical) -2348! (Critical) -2348! (Critical) -2348! (Critical) -2348! (Critical)

After Zhang Jian swung his sword, he hurriedly dodged to the side.

Preparing to dodge the monster's attack and wait for an opportunity to strike again.

As a result.

Several Sword Qi were like an impenetrable net, enveloping the monster.

Six consecutive critical hit damages floated up in unison.

Instantly.

Killing this Rank 6 Elite monster in one shot!

Watching the corpse collapse with a bang, Zhang Jian was dumbfounded.

This so-called guaranteed critical hit actually meant all damage was critical?

He still underestimated this affix!

"You gained 300 (+360) EXP."

"You used [Sword Qi Slash] to successfully kill an Elite monster 3 Ranks higher than yourself, your kill progress increased by 40 points!"

"[I Only Hit the Elite] kill progress increased by 20 points."

"[So You're the One Called Boss] kill progress increased by 16 points."

"[So You're the One Called Elite] kill progress increased by 8 points."

"You obtained [Swift Claw Boots]."

"You obtained [Berserk Blue-Eyed Necklace]."

"You obtained [Swift Run]."
