Chapter 533: Chapter 532: Ghost Eye, Level Six!
Originally, the world mission's requirement was merely to eliminate ten sandstorms above level 3.
Zhang Yue actually, inside the Death Territory, eliminated more than 100 sandstorms above level 4.
Not for any other reason, just because the battle rewards from these sandstorms were simply too high.
The sandstorms within the Death Territory, in addition to the battle rewards themselves, also had extra rewards for eliminating them.
Each level 4 sandstorm eliminated would yield a 23 star equipment box.
One level 5 sandstorm would give two 23 star equipment boxes.
Level 6 and level 7 sandstorms would respectively grant four and seven equipment boxes.
These 23 star equipment, for Zhang Yue's current 21 star Transcedent Set, were excellent upgrade feed.
In addition, high-level sandstorms also had rare skill books, rare materials, and various rich rewards.
Under the rich rewards of over 100 high-level sandstorms, Zhang Yue's level directly rose from level 122 just entering the World 23, all the way up to level 130.
Such a leveling speed could be called exaggerated, but in fact, it was not.
It could only be understood as: Zhang Yue's monster-killing speed was too exaggerated.
These dozens of sandstorms, for normal professionals, would take ten days or half a month to clear.
Equivalent to Zhang Yue condensing others' ten days or half a month of work efficiency into a single hour to level up.
Moreover, the experience Zhang Yue used to level up was only from what he gained himself.
The myth-level treasure [Demon Contract]'s experience contract could equally absorb the experience Zhang Yue gained.
After reaching the max level 130 in the World 23, Zhang Yue released all the experience stored in the Demon Contract, causing his five pets to all reach level 128.
"Still a bit short, huh."
Looking at the passive effect of [Shattered · Ghost Eye], it was just a little away from being upgraded to level six.
So, Zhang Yue simply continued farming a few dozen more sandstorms.
When he used the accumulated experience to raise all the pets to level 130, exactly at that moment…
["Ding~ Congratulations! Your skill [Shattered · Ghost Eye] passive effect has been upgraded to level six. The next level requires 2 million experience!"]
The sudden system notification made Zhang Yue somewhat excited.
But at the same time, he was also a bit shocked.
"Level six isn't the max level?"
Judging by the previous upgrade bonuses, each level increased 10% pursuit damage.
By the time it reached level five, it was already 90% pursuit damage. Logically, level six should be 100% pursuit damage + infinite pursuit count.
Zhang Yue's heart suddenly jolted.
Could this be the same trick as that certain Gacha game?
Originally, each swing would cut 10%, then after upgrading to 90%, one swing only cut 1%.
Then after finally reaching 99%, one more swing, 99.1%?
If that's the case, Zhang Yue would really start cursing.
He opened the skill description.
Fortunately, it wasn't as he feared.
[[Shattered · Ghost Eye] (Passive Effect, lv6): When the skill holder's all single-target attacks successfully kill a target, it triggers a pursuit effect, dealing 100% pursuit damage to the nearest enemy within a 50-yard radius around the killed target. Upon killing again, pursuit is triggered once more. If conditions are met, pursuit count is unlimited.]
[Upgrade Requirement: 15/2,000,000 (Each successful pursuit +1 proficiency. Next upgrade will expand pursuit radius.)]
Good thing, it wasn't that Gacha chopping scam.
As Zhang Yue originally expected, the pursuit damage had already reached the maximum, and it allowed unlimited pursuit.
The continued upgrade expanding pursuit range was a bit unexpected to Zhang Yue.
'This effect actually increases attack range?'
'That's too broken.'
You must know: in the otherworld, all long-range attacks' maximum range does not exceed 50 yards.
And Ghost Eye's pursuit is based on the first killed target as the center, pursuing within a 50-yard radius.
Although on paper it allows unlimited pursuit, once out of range, it's useless.
Zhang Yue casually entered a level 6 sandstorm to test it.
Inside the level 6 sandstorm, it was full of level 130 desert scorpions, each with 320 million HP.
Within the sandy area, scorpions were densely packed.
Zhang Yue casually locked onto one desert scorpion and cast a spell.
Extinction · Heaven-shaking Thunder!
BOOM!
Powerful lightning descended from the sky, striking the desert scorpion.
-570 million!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
After completing the kill, pursuit was triggered again and again. Each pursuit kill would once again trigger pursuit with the same 570 million damage.
One Heaven-shaking Thunder unleashed the momentum of a chain thunder.
Instantly, countless lightning bolts bombarded the 50-yard radius in front, forming a thunderfall zone. Within that area, the densely packed dozens of desert scorpions all perished under the 570 million damage.
A single-target skill, directly producing the effect of an AOE skill.
This feeling could only be described in one word—Thrilling.
However, this small group of scorpions, compared to the tens of thousands of scorpions in the level 6 sandstorm, was merely a drop in the bucket.
Zhang Yue immediately locked onto another direction and continued casting single-target skills.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Each single-target skill killing one scorpion would immediately trigger infinite pursuit, causing mass extermination to all scorpions in the area.
At this moment, Zhang Yue truly realized the effect of the Doomsday Black Dragon's [Radiant · Immortal Demon Body], turning all attacks into AOE.
The only slight imperfection was the limited pursuit range.
If the pursuit distance could be ignored, Zhang Yue could even clear all monsters in the sandstorm with just one skill.
Therefore, the benefit of [Shattered · Ghost Eye]'s future upgrades was now obvious.
Future upgrades expanding pursuit distance directly compensated for this current flaw.
If, in the late game, it could unlock distance-ignoring pursuit, that would be even more thrilling.
Although the level six → level seven upgrade required double the proficiency, reaching 2 million points.
In fact, after reaching level six, the rate of gaining proficiency directly increased several times.
Before this, each skill use would at most trigger about ten pursuits, and in the end it would be interrupted due to insufficient damage.
Equivalent to only getting around ten proficiency per use.
But now, Zhang Yue's one skill could chase-kill dozens of monsters, gaining 100+ proficiency per use.
At this speed, 2 million proficiency was equivalent to the previous level five → level six's 300,000 proficiency.
Simply too easy.
What Zhang Yue had the most were single-target burst skills.
Now that all these single-target skills could trigger AOE damage, his monster-killing efficiency skyrocketed.
Before long, all monsters within the level 6 sandstorm were completely wiped out.
