Chapter 2 The Second Trial
The second trial held no additional tricks.
The monsters simply changed from level 10 Swift Panthers to level 12 Gloomy Wildcats.
It was largely the same as in previous dungeons.
Only the quantity had increased by an immeasurable amount.
The greatest advantage of this monster was its ability to stealth.
However, under the effect of Lin Feng's elixirs, there was a 50% chance to reveal stealth.
Instead, they were exposed.
He only needed to swing his sword towards where he could see the monsters.
Whether it triggered Sword Qi Surge or Sword Qi Entanglement,
it would simultaneously hit a large area of nearby stealthed monsters.
This skill, which could trouble almost all players, was completely useless against Lin Feng.
He even charged directly into areas with many monsters and began tanking them with his body.
He originally intended to level up his armor's growth value as well.
But he didn't expect that.
These Gloomy Wildcats, though appearing ferocious,
dealt damage that was simply insignificant.
They couldn't even break through his defense of over 300.
Countless numbers floated above his head.
Three minutes later, the second trial ended.
Even though the number of bosses in this stage reached a staggering 50.
And even 10 regular bosses appeared.
It made little difference to Lin Feng.
The bosses could only deal a few hundred points of damage to him.
They couldn't disrupt the balance of his HP recovery at all.
However, after the second trial concluded.
The system actually prompted that the third trial would begin in 10 minutes, and players should prepare themselves.
Lin Feng was a little puzzled.
"Isn't it just the Fallen Demons? I know this script."
But adhering to the principle of "caution prevents mistakes," he still prepared thoroughly.
His preparation naturally involved opening treasure chests.
His inventory held a full fifteen treasure chests.
Although treasure chests in dungeons couldn't increase basic attributes.
If he was lucky, he could obtain very useful special attributes.
Lin Feng was quite expectant.
You opened a Level 13 Swift Panther Boss Treasure Chest (Excellent Grade) (Twelvefold Amplification).
You gained the following effect: Evasion +22%.
You obtained Blink.
You obtained 19 taels of silver and 358 copper coins.
You opened a Level 13 Swift Panther Boss Treasure Chest (Excellent Grade) (Twelvefold Amplification).
You gained the following effect: Evasion +25%.
You obtained Blink.
You obtained 21 taels of silver and 116 copper coins.
Out of five Swift Panther treasure chests,
four of them increased evasion rate.
However, the 100% evasion rate Lin Feng had imagined did not appear.
Instead, after directly increasing to 60%, it stopped.
Another attribute option appeared.
The extra evasion rate was all added to that.
It finally became like this.
Evasion Rate
Excellent Grade Treasure/Intermediate Level Skill and below: 60%
Legendary Grade Treasure/Advanced Skill and below: 1.2%
Lin Feng understood the meaning at a glance.
It was the evasion rate under specific conditions.
If facing players using Excellent grade weapons, intermediate skills, and below.
His evasion rate could reach 60%.
If the opponent's corresponding treasure or skill was one level higher.
There was only a 1.5% chance of evasion.
He couldn't help but marvel at the high judgment threshold of the latter condition.
After filling the base evasion to 60% earlier.
Nearly 50% more evasion value had been gained.
When converted to Legendary grade treasure/Advanced skill, it only converted to 1.2%.
If it was the next level, wouldn't it require several hundred percent of normal evasion to convert to one percent of high-level evasion?
But this was also good.
It was better than low-level facing high-level and evasion rate having no effect at all.
As long as Lin Feng killed enough bosses of this agile and evasion-focused type.
One day, he would be able to retreat safely even when facing deities!
The only treasure chest that did not increase evasion rate.
Provided a 22% attack speed bonus.
He swung his sword.
Although this value couldn't be displayed specifically,
he felt it was noticeably faster than before by a sliver.
About less than one-tenth.
Among the five treasure chests, apart from special attributes, nothing else good was obtained.
There were only two Blink scrolls, two level 12 Excellent grade equipment items.
And less than 100 taels of silver in total.
Blink could be sold directly to players,
or kept. Lin Feng could wait until he found a treasure that could synthesize with it and combine them.
Perhaps he could synthesize even more superb Blink effects?
Lin Feng continued to open the remaining ten treasure chests.
You opened a [Level 15 Gloomy Wildcat Boss Treasure Chest (Excellent Grade)] (Twelvefold Amplification).
You gained Critical Hit Rate +22%.
You obtained a Counter Gem.
You obtained 17 taels of silver and 55 copper coins.
You opened a [Level 15 Gloomy Wildcat Boss Treasure Chest (Excellent Grade)] (Twelvefold Amplification).
You gained Critical Hit Damage +158%.
You obtained a Hidden Kill Gem.
You obtained 18 taels of silver and 133 copper coins.
The ten Excellent grade treasure chests only cost Lin Feng over 6.5 million cultivation points.
The cultivation he had now was practically a drop in the bucket for him.
After all, he had gained a full 200 million cultivation points in the second trial alone.
The increased attributes were mainly critical hit rate and critical hit damage.
Critical hit damage was a great harvest this time.
A cumulative increase of 712%.
This also brought his total critical hit damage directly to 1737%.
This meant.
As long as he landed a critical hit, it would be over 17 times the damage!
How devastating was that.
The calculation for critical hit rate also showed a similar situation to evasion.
The difference was that the first stage cap for critical hit rate was 70%.
Critical Hit Rate
Excellent Grade Treasure/Intermediate Level Skill and below: 70%
Legendary Grade Treasure/Advanced Skill and below: 1.8%
This made Lin Feng a little regretful.
Although players were unlikely to possess Legendary grade treasures.
And those with Advanced skills were few and far between, let alone defensive skills.
However.
Many bosses possessed Advanced skills.
This meant that it wouldn't be so easy for him to land critical hits with ease.
Besides the amplification and evolution of special attributes.
The ten treasure chests also contributed two Attack Speed Bonus Gems, two Critical Hit Rate Bonus Gems.
Two Counter Gems, and one Hidden Kill Gem.
Along with several Excellent grade weapons and equipment.
And one Super Simple Gem.
While Lin Feng rejoiced, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
If only he had gotten an Unrestricted Gem.
But he also knew.
At the current map and monster tiers, it was as difficult as climbing to heaven to obtain an Unrestricted Gem.
It was only because the Wild Wolf Battle Armor quest he undertook back then had a large fluctuation range in rewards.
His performance was exceptionally outstanding.
And he had managed to corner the quest NPC.
Otherwise, it might have taken him a while longer to get his first Unrestricted treasure.
However, for now.
After opening the treasure chests.
He felt that although his combat power had not increased significantly, his direction for further advancement was clearer.
When he had rested and faced the third trial, he was even more fearless.
