A Level 50 skill that could only be learned after completing the Awakening Quest obviously couldn't appear out of nowhere on a Level 31 character. However, the golden light on Han Yanrou's body, as well as the sudden increase in attack speed and strength, was without a doubt Battle Spirit.
Battle Spirit could allow a Battle Mage to continuously evolve in battle and improve their battle state. And this kind of evolution was achieved through the use of combos.
After 10 combos, Attack Speed + 0.5, Movement Speed + 2%, and Strength + 30.
After 20 combos, Attack Speed + 1, Movement Speed + 4%, and Strength + 50.
After 30 combos, Attack Speed + 1.5, Movement Speed + 6%, and Strength + 70.
So on and so forth, there were a total of seven stages. The seventh stage was a huge leap compared to the previous stages.
The seventh stage required 120 combos, Attack Speed + 6, Movement Speed + 24%, and Strength + 260. Compared to the sixth stage, whether it was combos or stat increases, it was double.
What did this stat increase mean?
Attack Speed + 6. That was about the difference between the slowest heavy sword and the fastest katana.
Movement Speed + 24% was 4% more than a max level Neutral Chaser.
As for Strength + 260, it was even more frightening. A Battle Mage, without any equipment or stat books to increase their stats, would only have a 3.5 Strength growth. At max level 70, their Strength would only be 245.
A Ghostblade's Ghost Boundary at max level increased Strength by 150.
A Battle Mage's Fire Chaser at max level increased Strength by 125.
The Strength increase from the seventh stage of Battle Spirit was truly frightening.
Wind Following Sword was an experienced player. Han Yanrou came quickly, attacked quickly, attacked quickly, and his health dropped even faster! He clearly understood that this was Battle Spirit, and even more clearly understood that this was the seventh stage of Battle Spirit. The faint golden light was proof of that. Only the seventh stage of Battle Spirit would have such an eye-catching glow. It was twice as bright as the previous stage, making it very easy to distinguish.
The seventh stage of Battle Spirit was frightening, but in reality, it was almost impossible for it to appear in PvP. 120 combos. If all of them hit Wind Following Sword, he would have died long ago. How could he wait for the seventh stage of Battle Spirit?
The seventh stage could only be achieved by accumulating the number of combos in a chaotic battle like this when there were multiple targets to attack. As for Soft Mist, she took advantage of the monsters surrounding her to stack up her combo to 120, reaching the seventh stage of Battle Spirit. Afterwards, she launched an attack towards Wind Following Sword.
As for where this Battle Spirit came from, Wind Following Sword wasn't too surprised.
The event was the Christmas event.
The items obtained from the Christmas thieves, be it equipment, potions, or anything else, could be used by the players. However, after using them, the players could no longer exchange them with Santa Claus. These items couldn't be traded or discarded. Even if they were sold to the system store, they wouldn't get any money. After the event ended, they would be taken back by the system immediately.
Obviously, a rational player wouldn't do something like that. However, Han Yanrou was forced by the situation to use an item that she had snatched from the Christmas thief.
Additional Skill Scroll!
The function of an Additional Skill Scroll was to add a certain skill to a piece of equipment, thereby increasing the grade of the equipment. Adding it once would increase the skill's level by 1. Adding it twice would increase the skill's level by 2. This increase in level wasn't limited by the skill's highest level in the skill tree. In other words, a skill that could only be upgraded to level 10 with skill points could be upgraded to level 11, 12, or even 13 with an Additional Skill Scroll.
However, this didn't mean that it could be upgraded endlessly. Even though Additional Skill Scrolls could be obtained, there was a limit to how many times an equipment could be enchanted.
Moreover, it was important to note that the upgraded skill had to have already been learned by the character in the skill tree. If it was a skill that hadn't been learned, then the skill could only be upgraded to level 1 when it was enchanted onto the weapon.
These settings were described in detail in the description of each skill scroll. Tang Rou had enchanted a Battle Spirit Scroll onto Han Yanrou's Scarlet Moon Spear. As a result, at level 31, she was able to learn the signature skill of a Battle Mage, Battle Spirit, which would normally only be learned at level 50.
Moreover, the system was very generous with the Christmas event skill. With this scroll, Han Yanrou directly obtained the highest level Battle Spirit. Clearly, this was only a temporary event. The game developers weren't afraid of disrupting the game's order. The reason they were so generous was to let the new players in the new server have a chance to personally experience the battle style of a high level skill. This would strengthen their motivation to continue playing the game.
This consideration was a great help to Tang Rou.
To be honest, Tang Rou didn't fully understand the settings. However, she had often heard Chen Guo talk about Battle Mage's signature skill, so she was quite clear about it. Now that she saw such a scroll in her bag, and the description said that it could be used when attached to a weapon, she didn't hesitate to use it.
In reality, under normal circumstances, with this scroll attached, Han Yanrou would only have a level 1 Battle Spirit. She would only be able to use the first stage of the 10 combos. However, at that stage, it wouldn't have any heaven-defying effects.
However, in this event, a max level Battle Spirit allowed Han Yanrou's strength to explode.
At Level 31, she suddenly gained 260 points of strength. This was far more frightening than gaining 260 points of strength at Level 50 or 70. This was because the difference in strength was completely different.
Wind Following Sword quickly understood, but unfortunately, it was too late. Although he had a lot of experience, this event was coincidental. This sort of coincidental situation wasn't part of his experience.
Circle Swing came down and Wind Following Sword was pressed to the ground. His health continued to fall. This was only Han Yanrou's fourth attack, but he only had a little more than a third of his health left.
The sudden increase of 260 points of Strength was too much for him, who was only at Level 34, to withstand.
Wind Following Sword immediately ate a potion. He wouldn't give up so easily. Level 7 Battle Spirit was indeed frightening, but Battle Spirit wasn't without its flaws.
Battle Spirit was a passive skill. It didn't have a cooldown or a duration. When a Battle Mage learned this skill, they would always have the advantage of winning through combos. However, this buff had its own variables.
Battle Spirit's stats were based on the number of combos. Combos were usually done in stages, so the stats were based on the number of combos in each stage.
For example, Tang Rou's Han Yanrou had obtained a 120 combo from a small monster. Naturally, she had reached Level 7. If she immediately stopped attacking, then her stats would remain at Level 7 and wouldn't disappear.
And when she started attacking again, her character would start the battle with Level 7 status. However, starting from this attack, Battle Spirit would start a new combo. If the combo stopped at 10 hits, then the seventh stage of Battle Spirit would disappear and be replaced by the first stage of Battle Spirit.
In other words, if he wanted to maintain the end of the seventh stage of Fighting Spirit, then every attack of his character had to be at least a 120 combo. Otherwise, the end of a single attack would also be the end of the seventh stage of Fighting Spirit.
Han Yanrou rushed towards Wind Following Sword. She had already used four skills on him. All of them connected and were within the combo range. At this moment, she still maintained Level 7 Battle Spirit. However, as soon as her combo stopped, Level 7 Battle Spirit would immediately disappear. Wind Following Sword knew this even better than Tang Rou.
As a result, as long as he could dodge one attack or interrupt one attack … ….
A crimson light flashed.
While Wind Following Sword was still counting his chickens before they hatched a plan, Soft Mist's Sweeping Attack had already hit him. Just then, he had been knocked down by Circle Swing, so he couldn't use Quick Recover to get away. At this moment, Wind Following Sword wanted to get up, but he didn't expect the lance to come so quickly and knock him down.
Wind Following Sword suddenly began to panic.
In terms of mechanics, he wasn't as good as the opponent. And right now, the opponent had Level 7 Battle Spirit, which added 6 attack speed and 24% movement speed. There was also the movement speed bonus from her Neutral Chaser. How could he dodge her attack?
"Boom!"
Just when he thought of the Neutral Chaser, Han Yanrou followed up with a Neutral Chaser and hit Wind Following Sword's Sweeping Attack. Fortunately, Chasers dealt magic damage. The 260 points of strength didn't affect it, so the damage was still normal. However, this Chaser attack still knocked Wind Following Sword back. Han Yanrou swung her lance and used a Sky Strike to knock him into the air.
"I can't dodge it!" Wind Following Sword really wanted to cry this time. Han Yanrou's previous skills were the same as before. If she added in the ferocious Falling Flower Palm, he would definitely lose his life! It was just that … … Han Yanrou was ignoring the monsters that were attacking her in order to kill him. This time, it was very likely that both sides would suffer great losses!
Wind Following Sword knew that he couldn't do anything, but he still had a bit of hope in his heart.
Will there be one? Just as Wind Following Sword was thinking this, he suddenly saw something that looked like a rock roll under Han Yanrou's feet.
Wind Following Sword suddenly felt a burst of joy. He tried his best to turn his head in the air and immediately saw someone retracting their hand from the roof.
"Boom!" The grenade under Han Yanrou's feet exploded. The resulting shockwave immediately threw her to the side. Although she immediately Quick Recovered and didn't fall to the ground, Han Yanrou's Level 7 Battle Spirit had completely disappeared.
"Ha ha ha, beautiful girl, the game isn't for one person to play!" Wind Following Sword laughed proudly.
Tang Rou was distressed. She had already seen a person appear on the roof. On the other side of the street, there was more than one person rushing over. She knew that this time, she really didn't have a chance.
"You're quite right."
At this moment, Tang Rou suddenly heard a voice. This voice was so close. It was as if they were separated by a body. It really was a body … …
