12: Chapter 12: Surviving for Two Hours, the Power Boost from Endless Sword Technique!

"Alright!"

Lin Wan let go, and the two separated from their embrace.

Zisha felt a bit anxious and unsettled, the blush on her face yet to fade.

"Brother Lin Wan, you..."

"I'm leaving!"

Lin Wan interrupted her before she could finish.

Zisha's body stiffened in place; she opened her mouth, but forced herself to stop.

That's right...

The area Brother Lin Wan was about to enter was very dangerous. If he brought her along, she would definitely become a burden, increasing the difficulty of his trial.

Right now, rapid development was his top priority.

Since she had chosen the path of a Trial-taker, no matter what crises she faced in the future, she had to rely on herself.

In the end, she did not ask him to stay, forcing a smile, and said softly:

"Yeah, Brother Lin Wan, please leave without worry. Now that I have a weapon, my talent can finally be put to use!"

"Also, you must take care of yourself."

After saying this, she lowered her eyes, filled with an indescribable sense of loneliness.

"Hm!"

Lin Wan responded indifferently, not noticing Zisha's expression. At this moment, his attention was still immersed in his talent, Unlimited Blade Works, and the Target Settlement rewards.

But he felt a bit guilty about just leaving like this.

After all, he had gotten an SSS-rank talent for free; he should give her something before leaving to show his appreciation.

A strengthening potion?

No, what if it helps an enemy?

Everyone here was a Trial-taker competing on the same stage; he couldn't lose the necessary caution.

Then, how about this!

Thinking this, Lin Wan suddenly snapped his fingers.

A bright red Ferrari SUV appeared in front of them.

Lin Wan casually deciphered it, instantly gaining an infinite supply.

He took out the car keys and gently placed them in Zisha's hand.

"This car is for you. If you are in danger, you can drive away."

Zisha rubbed the car keys, wanting to say something but stopping herself: "Brother Lin Wan, I..."

"I'm off!"

Lin Wan didn't even wait for her to finish, unleashing his terrifying speed of 30 points, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Zisha felt a bit helpless: "I don't have a driver's license!!"

Watching Lin Wan's departing figure, Zisha could only let out a soft sigh.

She cast her gaze toward the brand-new Ferrari in front of her, her expression gradually softening.

Thinking of something, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"Thank you!" the young girl murmured in a voice only she could hear.

...

[Target "Encounter other intelligent life within three days" completed]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: Intermediate Mental Strengthening Potion]

This target was of seven-star difficulty, allowing Lin Wan to directly obtain a higher-level strengthening potion, and it was the rare mental type at that.

"I just got Unlimited Blade Works, and I was worried my mental power wasn't enough! I didn't expect to hit the jackpot now."

Lin Wan didn't even think twice before materializing the mental strengthening potion.

After successfully deciphering it, he gulped it down in one go.

After drinking it, he didn't stop for a moment, copying another bottle and drinking it again.

A constant stream of warmth surged into his brain, keeping him in a state of constant excitement.

[Mental +1+1+1+1...]

This enhancement process took a full five minutes.

As the state faded, Lin Wan cast his gaze toward the glowing blue light stream.

[Mental: 60]

It was just a normal numerical value, but Lin Wan felt as if a computer had been installed in his brain; his thinking and reactions became incomparably clear.

Even his dynamic vision had been significantly improved, and the way he saw the whole world had changed.

"Life is evolving!!"

Lin Wan spread his arms, tilted his head back, and enjoyed the sensation.

But not long after, he slapped himself hard in the face.

"How... how could I be so decadent!"

"How could I enjoy this moment of peace!"

"This is a trial ground; time is everything."

"I need to kill monsters, kill monsters, and kill even more damn monsters!"

Thinking this, Lin Wan immediately copied a taie sword, used the Unlimited Blade Works ability to suspend it in the air, and then jumped up lightly, stepping onto the sword.

The sword body trembled and swayed from side to side, but it was quickly balanced by his mental power.

"It really works. From now on, I'll travel by sword!"

In an instant, all his mental power condensed at a single point on the sword tip. The air exploded with a sonic boom, and in just one second, his figure appeared a hundred meters away.

A hundred meters per second, which was over 360 kilometers per hour.

This was much faster than running with his base speed, as his base speed was only about 38 meters/second.

Lin Wan sped through the air, relying on Target Settlement to lock onto one Chaotic Beast after another.

...

[Target "Survive for two hours" task completed]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: One bag of Spirit Rice]

The difficulty of the "survive for two hours" target was not high, so the reward was also negligible.

The function of Spirit Rice was that long-term consumption could improve one's physique, making it suitable for ordinary people.

In these few dozen minutes, he had slaughtered over a hundred Chaotic Beasts and completed hundreds of Target Settlements, but they were all related to food, drink, and some entertainment measures. Only a few things were truly useful.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Gravity Chamber * 1, Speedometer * 1, Combat Power Detector * 1, Spirit Fruit * 1, Basic Sword Mastery * 1...]

He did not materialize the Gravity Chamber, as he didn't know how many times the gravity it could support.

He had used the speedometer, and currently, his limit speed using sword flight was about 112 meters/second.

Keeping this speed, he estimated that he would soon be able to break out of this marginal wasteland where the maximum combat power was only 20.

As for the Combat Power Detector, he didn't materialize it, as he hadn't encountered intelligent life from other civilizations yet!

Of course, it might be useful for some areas where the panel couldn't be expanded, but for now, he would just leave it in his talent bar to collect dust.

As for the effect of the Spirit Fruit, consuming a large amount could improve one's physique, but its effect on him was minimal, mainly because the grade wasn't high enough.

Spirit Rice and Spirit Fruits were targeted at mortals, and he had already gradually moved beyond the category of mortals!

As for Basic Sword Mastery, it could increase his dynamic combat power by 10% when using a sword, which counted as another boost for him.

"Heh, I've encountered a new species. It seems I've left the area of the Iron-Armored Rhino and the Desolate Lion."

Lin Wan stood on his sword in the air, scanning the pack of wolves below that were eyeing him covetously.

[Desolate Rock Wolf]

[Combat Power: 14]

[Assessment: Unranked, the Wolf King's favorite concubine, once drained the Wolf King eleven times in one night.]

[Description: A gregarious Chaotic Beast, disciplined, extremely fierce, and skilled at team hunting. The Wolf King of its pack has floor-level combat power.]

He counted them; there were about twenty, a number that wouldn't even last half a move against him.

Lin Wan snapped his fingers.

Twenty taie swords appeared out of thin air.

With his current mental power, he could control up to sixty swords, but for a pack of unranked wolves, twenty was more than enough.

The taie sword belonged to the mortal-level sword category, and each sword added only 0.1.

With his current 60 points of mental attribute, each sword provided a mental power boost of 0.6, so the total combat power boost of one sword, including its own power and his mental power, was 0.7.

This meant that his current base combat power when using a sword was 60 * 0.7 + 6 = 48 points.

Basic Sword Mastery and Combat Mastery together provided a 20% dynamic combat power boost.

But his Sword Cultivator template covered his physical template, so the comprehensive combat power used the highest value of the Sword Cultivator template.

It could be calculated that his comprehensive combat power was [3+3+3+(60*0.7+6)] * 1.2 = 68.4.

Unfortunately, the Charge specialty and Boxing Mastery were not compatible with the mental attribute, so they couldn't receive the talent boost, which meant his physical template's boost couldn't be integrated.

However, even so, the combat power boost brought to him by Unlimited Blade Works was still quite considerable.

Zisha is his lucky star!

Lin Wan glanced at his panel.

[Strength: 30]

[Speed: 30]

[Physique: 30]

[Mental: 60]

[Base Combat Power: 18]

[Comprehensive Combat Power: 68.4]

[Talents: Target Settlement, Unlimited Blade Works]

[Specialties: Charge +7, Pressure +5]

[Skills: Boxing Mastery, Combat Mastery, Basic Sword Mastery]

[Evaluation: A little rookie with floor-level combat power~]
