Before reaching proficiency in Gathering Qi, Lufeng could freely unleash skills at will. Now that he has truly completed the proficiency in Gathering Energy and Gathering Qi, he finds himself unable to channel any energy.
Lufeng quickly checked his Bursting Qi proficiency. To his dismay, it was still at zero, meaning he couldn't release any skills at all. This was even worse than when he hadn't completed the Gathering Qi proficiency.
At this moment, he needed to remain calm and not lose his composure. However, despite Lufeng repeatedly trying to reassure himself, it was difficult to quell the disappointment inside him. He hurried towards the corner of Shattered Void in search of Chess Sage.
“Ahem~”
Seeing Lufeng approach, Chess Sage cleared his throat, slowly closed his eyes, and said, “It's no use looking for me; the key lies within you. If you want to successfully release a skill now, you must first raise your Bursting Qi proficiency to 1. At that point, the minimum time to release a skill will be around 30 seconds. Of course, if it's a skill that requires less energy, five or six seconds might suffice! As your Bursting Qi proficiency increases in the future, your skill release will become faster, effectively shortening the cooldown time!”
As soon as Chess Sage finished speaking, Lufeng leveled up again. It turned out that Wang Xiaojing had drawn the Chess Soul near Lufeng and subsequently dealt with them. He felt a small sense of gratitude, but then Wang Xiaojing’s words completely shattered his idealized image of her.
“Hey, is this how you do things? You let me, a girl, fight monsters while you chat with this old man? Hurry up and help me take down the Ancient Chess Soul!”
Lufeng was momentarily speechless; it seemed that Wang Xiaojing hadn’t come over to help him gain experience but rather to call him over.
“I’m coming!”
After receiving guidance from Chess Sage, Lufeng understood that raising his Bursting Qi proficiency required constant practice. Only by improving his proficiency could he activate skills more quickly. According to Chess Sage, today’s Martial Arts Tournament was likely a lost cause; with a 30-second wait to unleash a powerful skill and a cooldown of only 10 seconds for that skill, he would be slower than even the leisurely pace of others in Skill Mode. Not to mention that others could release different skills within those 30 seconds.
“Clang!”
A loud sound from the System froze both Lufeng and Wang Xiaojing in place.
System Notification: In 10 seconds, the Ancient Chess Soul will appear; please prepare yourself.
“We can’t move! How are we supposed to prepare?” Lufeng felt frustrated; his carefully planned day for leveling up was about to change. Given the current situation, there was no chance for a duel or even monster grinding without any attacking power. “Xiaojing, when the two Sunglasses Cats attack the Chess Soul, I’ll look for its weak points. Right now I still can’t unleash my skills and am restricted from using them freely!”
Wang Xiaojing was taken aback: “How can this be? Does that mean when I complete my Gathering Qi proficiency next time, I’ll also need to use the Vital Energy Control Technique along with my skill releases?”
"Well, how much more do you need to complete your Gathering Qi proficiency?"
"Very soon! I noticed that my Gathering Qi increased a lot while I was grinding Chess Soul. If I release a few more skills, I'll complete my Gathering Qi proficiency!" Wang Xiaojing said nervously, fearing that she wouldn't be able to release skills once she completed her Gathering Qi proficiency.
"That's great! We're developing in sync, which will make future arrangements easier!"
Ten seconds later, the Ancient Chess Soul arrived as expected. Lufeng instantly activated his movement, using Phantom Form to maneuver around the Ancient Chess Soul, allowing Sunglasses Cat to take the lead. First, he unleashed Raging Inferno, then continuously triggered its active skills. Meanwhile, Lufeng kept using Vital Energy Control Technique, but every time he tried to use Bursting Qi, his Vital Energy got stuck in his hands, making it impossible to shape the Gathering Qi and unleash the skills.
For Sunglasses Cat, the Ancient Chess Soul was like a feast. The two cats, combined with Wang Xiaojing's attacks, ultimately turned the Ancient Chess Soul into a pile of sparkling debris until Lufeng and Xiaojing were teleported out of the Shattered Void, which had not yet been refreshed by the System.
"Lufeng, I finally caught up with you! Hehe, how about that!" Wang Xiaojing said proudly.
This time, the Chess Game was the most rewarding for Wang Xiaojing. Dozens of pieces transformed into Chess Soul provided a large amount of Vital Energy, allowing her to break through her Gathering Qi, enabling her to learn Bursting Qi, just like Lufeng.
"Hehe, nothing much to say. A girl chasing a guy is like a layer of sand; I can only blame my weak willpower," Lufeng joked.
Wang Xiaojing pouted: "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!"
"Alright, alright, enough joking. We have too many tasks right now. Let's focus on grinding enough six Dual Perfection weapons today and skip the events for now; let them fight over it."
After saying this, Lufeng summoned a flying dragon and activated double Experience. After waiting for a while, Gao Chao and others finished their chess grind and then led everyone to complete the daily lottery and face-changing tasks.
At the same time, they also made sure everyone completed the daily tricks for the Sect Mission. Lufeng had an even better experience; due to his deep relationship with the issuer of the Sect Mission, Qin Guan, he completed twenty tricks at once, gaining over a hundred thousand in Experience, plus more than 5j.
After completing the tricks, Lufeng led everyone to make their daily wishes. With the flying dragon, they reached Taihu several times faster, greatly saving time. By the time they finished grinding back, all daily tasks were completed by Lufeng and his group, including the ten-ringed Evil Extermination Tower. After completing all daily tasks, Lufeng finally leveled up to level 42, while Murong Xiaoxiao reached level 43, and others like Wang Xiaojing were close to level 42.
There was only one flying dragon; others still didn't have decent mounts. Therefore, Lufeng and his group had no choice but to engage in team activities together. This way, they could better balance their overall strength development.
After a while, the scheduled grinding event began. All grinding maps were crowded with people. At this point, there were no particular strategies for grinding; each map had more players than monsters. Most players' levels ranged from 30 to 45. Grinding back and farming for the Three Rings were the most lucrative activities. The items dropped from grinding back were even more plentiful. When farming for the Three Rings, everyone hoped to obtain the divine artifact known as the New Mang Divine Talisman. However, since farming for the Three Rings was an all-day task limited to five times per day while grinding back was a timed task, many players would prioritize grabbing opportunities during events over farming for the rings.
Seeing the people coming and going, including those from Taihu, Wuliang Mountain, Songshan, and Dunhuang, Climax was filled with excitement: "Boss, let's go quickly! If we don't grab it now, it'll be gone!"
"Change the original plan. We shouldn't farm normally; at this time, farming level 40 weapons is key. Everyone is crowded around farming normally, so we need to think differently to get ahead of them. Once we craft our artifacts, we can farm Three Rings more effectively, and our efficiency will greatly increase!"
Wang Xiaojing and the others were momentarily stunned but did not voice their opinions, leaving Lufeng somewhat at a loss: "Can you all say something after hearing that? If you have any suggestions, feel free to share!"
Qiu Han thought for a moment: "Even if we farm six Dual Perfection weapons, the drop rate for the New Mang Divine Talisman is still very low!"
Hearing Qiu Han's concern, Lufeng couldn't help but smile: "You're too clever for your own good. Everything we farm in Asking Heaven can be traded; there are very few bound items. Currently, the only bound item is the outfit on Xiaojing, so what we farm can be traded."
"What does that have to do with the Divine Talisman?" Climax asked in confusion.
Qiu Han pondered for a moment and suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand now! How could I forget that we're a cohesive team? Every time we farm Ge Rong, we can randomly obtain two Divine Talismans. So our team can get ten Divine Talismans in a day. This way, we can decide who gets what first and craft two artifacts within a day. In other words, in just three days, all six of us can have artifacts!"
Lufeng nodded: "Exactly. The premise is that we need six Dual Perfection weapons. We should take advantage of everyone else farming normally to go to Moya Cave and farm level 40 weapons; that way, our efficiency will improve!"
"Then let's go!" Qin Shou said eagerly.
"Haha~"
Everyone exchanged smiles, and then Lufeng activated team riding, leading them through Luoyang Chamber of Commerce, out of Luoyang City South, and teleporting to Yan Nan. After a long journey, they finally arrived at Moya Cave in the northwest of Yan Nan!
Inside Moya Cave, there were still many players; however, they were all new players who had just entered the game and were generally around level 30. Seeing Lufeng and the others riding flying dragons into the cave made them envious.
Lufeng ignored these newcomers and passed through the crowd and the Thief Soldiers inside the cave to enter deeper into Moya Cave. He continuously tried using his lightness skill. After several attempts, he finally succeeded in flying up onto the wooden bridge and then flew to the other side.
To farm monsters effectively, one must enter areas where monsters are densely packed; this way, efficiency will be maximized. In Moya Cave, there are two places where monsters respawn quickly that require reaching the deepest part of the cave.
Seeing Lufeng ascend to the wooden bridge left Wang Xiaojing astonished. Like Lufeng, Wang Xiaojing was also a Free Mode player; she had just completed her Gathering Qi proficiency but found it impossible to unleash her energy like Lufeng did previously in Shattered Void.
"Lufeng, I can't catch my breath, how do you do it?" Wang Xiaojing said with frustration.
"Take it slow, keep Gathering Energy and then Gathering Qi, and when you hit Bursting Qi, once your Bursting Qi proficiency reaches 1, you can use the skill," Lufeng instructed.
The clever Qiu Han suddenly realized and asked, "Boss, are you here to improve your Bursting Qi proficiency?"
Caught by Qiu Han's insight, Lufeng smiled slightly, "Hehe, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Gao Chao expressed dissatisfaction, "Oh great, you even call it brushing up on Dual Perfection. Turns out you and Xiaojing are not proficient in Bursting Qi, so you two are here to practice the Vital Energy Control Technique!"
"Who said that? Don't you all want artifacts? Without a Dual Perfection weapon, you can't even take on the Artifact Quest. How can you make artifacts?" Murong Xiaoxiao defended.
"Exactly! I and Lufeng are just practicing the Vital Energy Control Technique, do you have any objections?" Wang Xiaojing chimed in.
"Alright, everyone has arrived. Now, don't slack off!"
Then, Lufeng led everyone to the second-to-last monster spawn point deep inside. It happened to be unoccupied at the moment; regular players wouldn't dare challenge multiple monsters. Players around level 40 like Lufeng had already cleared this area while doing their Story Quest, making it a good spot for farming Dual Perfection.
Upon reaching their destination, Lufeng assigned Wang Xiaojing, Qiu Han, Gao Chao, and Qin Shou to guard the surroundings while he and Murong Xiaoxiao positioned themselves in the center. This way, Wang Xiaojing and the others could attract nearby monsters. Using the Roar of his Sunglasses Cat, Lufeng drew in monsters around him, maintaining a group of about ten monsters nearby. With this setup, combined with the Raging Inferno of the Sunglasses Cat, the speed of farming monsters increased exponentially. Moreover, Lufeng generously provided food for his pet, continuously healing the Sunglasses Cat.
