Shifeng used the Level 35 Demonic Hounds over a dozen times to test out various Skills. In the hands of the Abyssal Blade, each Skill was like a toy that Shi Feng could casually play with. He could easily pinch and flatten them, easily breaking the previous Skill Completion Rate record.
In God's Domain, Skill Completion Rate was an important indicator of a player's strength.
For the sake of increasing a Skill's Completion Rate by 1%, countless players had trained for days or even weeks. This was especially true after reaching 85% Skill Completion Rate. Increasing a Skill's Completion Rate by 1% required a lot of hard work.
However, when faced with the Abyssal Blade, this iron law was instantly broken.
If anyone wanted to improve their combat techniques, the first thing they needed to do was learn how to control their own bodies. If they could not even control their own bodies, how could they control their weapons?
Shifeng's control over his own body had long since reached a relatively high standard. However, even so, his control over his weapon was still not as good as his body. He could even feel a strand of hair on his sword.
However, the Abyssal Blade's near-perfect compatibility made it seem as if the Abyssal Blade had become a part of his body, allowing him to break new Skill Completion Rates time and time again.
Among these, his Basic Skill, Chop, had also broken the record, achieving a 95% Completion Rate.
A 95% Skill Completion Rate allowed his Skill's effects to reach 135%. In other words, he could deal 30% more damage than an 85% Skill Completion Rate.
Moreover, as he continued to use the Abyssal Blade, the pleasure of constantly increasing his strength was irresistible. He wished he could continue using the Abyssal Blade forever.
Even after killing several dozen Level 35 Demonic Hounds, Shifeng was still unsatisfied. He wanted to continue using these Demonic Hounds to increase his Skill Completion Rate. However, time was limited, so he had to prioritize completing his quest.
In the past, so many people who obtained Magic Weapons said not to touch them, because they would be devoured by the Magic Weapon's power. It turns out that the power they were referring to was not a powerful Attribute. Shifeng sighed ruefully as he looked at the Abyssal Blade in his hands. In the past, countless experts had put in a lot of effort to increase their Skill Completion Rates by even one point. In fact, these efforts were all in vain. On the other hand, Magic Weapons could easily achieve this. Moreover, as a Magic Weapon grew stronger, its compatibility with the Abyssal Blade would most likely increase as well. Hence, those wielding Magic Weapons continuously improved. I'm completely immersed in the sea of skill completion and can't extricate myself. "
He had only trained for half an hour, and his skill completion rate, which had been stuck for so long, had increased by so much. Moreover, Shifeng could clearly feel that this was far from his limit.
This kind of power was truly terrifying!
It was no exaggeration to say that this was an irresistible temptation to any expert. After all, there was no expert that did not want to improve their techniques. It was especially true in God's Domain, a place filled with opportunities.
Even though Shi Feng had played Shifeng in God's Domain for over a decade, he could not help but wish he could upgrade the Abyssal Blade once more, increasing the compatibility with the Abyssal Blade once more. That way, he might be able to further improve his Skill Completion Rate.
Just the 95% Skill Completion Rate alone had increased his combat power by more than 30%. Every 1% increase would greatly increase a skill's effect, let alone after 95%. At that time, the effects of the upgraded skills would be even more terrifying.
Not to mention a 30% increase in combat power, it was even possible for his combat power to double.
Compared to simply learning a Taboo Skill, a Taboo Skill was much, much more powerful. After all, a Taboo Skill only had one move. Although the power of a Taboo Skill surpassed that of a Skill of the same tier, what would happen after that move?
In the end, he would immediately return to his original state.
Meanwhile, in a battle, players generally used a variety of Basic Skills to attack. If every Basic Skill could reach a 100% Completion Rate, they could easily defeat players who had learned Taboo Skills of the same Tier.
This was the true power of Magic Weapons. Magic Weapons did not increase a player's Attributes. Instead, they improved a player's fundamental techniques. Not to mention an Epic Weapon, even a Fragmented Legendary item would not have such a frightening effect.
In the past, any player who wielded a Magic Weapon was a top-tier expert. As for those famous Magic Weapon wielders, they were experts who stood at the apex of God's Domain.
Only now did Shifeng understand that all of this was due to the frightening compatibility of Magic Weapons.
Of course, this method of improvement was closer to the demonic path. After all, many apex experts in God's Domain had risen to their current heights step by step. First, they would control their own bodies to their limits. Then, they would control their weapons, slowly improving their control over their weapons. With a solid foundation, even if they changed their weapons and equipment, their strength would not decrease by much. Sooner or later, they would be able to regain their strength. However, Magic Weapon wielders were different. From the very beginning, they possessed weapons that were similar to their own bodies. If they lost their Magic Weapon, their strength would naturally decrease significantly.
An apex expert might immediately become a nameless nobody. Hence, these apex experts were reluctant to part with their Magic Weapons until they were devoured by the Magic Weapon, forcing them to start all over again.
However, this also gave Shifeng an inspiration.
If they wanted to nurture experts quickly, it was easiest to start with compatibility. If they could find weapons and equipment with high compatibility, their strength would naturally soar.
Currently, Ling Yi had very few top-tier experts. She also did not have many elite players. Meanwhile, raiding Dungeons required an extremely high level of strength. In terms of raiding large-scale Dungeons, Ling Yi had relied on her equipment advantage to achieve success. Compared to teams that relied on individual techniques, she was far inferior. This was especially true for the final raid of the SS. Ling Yi would most likely have the hardest time raiding the SS.
This was because Ling Yi could no longer improve her equipment.
If she wanted to improve her equipment, she would have to start with Skill Completion Rates.
Even now, Ling Yi's players were focused on improving their own Attributes and obtaining better weapons and equipment. Their Skill Completion Rates were not very high. Even Fire Dance, the most powerful melee player in Ling Yi, only had an 80% Completion Rate. She was still a long way from reaching an 85% Completion Rate.
If he could improve Fire Dance and the others' compatibility, the combat power of Ling Yi's main force would undergo a qualitative transformation.
"Compatibility?" Shifeng could not help but sigh.
He had a way to improve compatibility, and that was to nurture a Master Forger in the Guild. Although a Master Forger could not produce weapons that satisfied a player's standards with a 100% success rate, if a Guild had a Master Forger, they could, more or less, produce some player-specific weapons and equipment. This would, more or less, increase the compatibility of the Guild's experts.
Only, nurturing a Master Forger was easier said than done …
Following which, Shifeng no longer wasted any time. He sheathed the Abyssal Blade and dashed towards the Gloomy Valley.
The Gloomy Valley was shrouded in a gray fog all year round, greatly affecting players' vision. Moreover, while inside this gray fog, Shifeng could clearly feel the suppression of his five senses. It was as if he were deep inside a fog of killing intent. Only, the effects were much weaker.
The majority of the monsters in the Gloomy Valley were Level 40 or above Elite monsters. There were also quite a few Level 40 or above Special Elites roaming about. Just venturing into the valley from the outermost region was extremely difficult.
Meanwhile, the Level 40 Great Lord Noya guarded the entrance to the next map in the Gloomy Valley's inner region. If players wished to proceed to the next map, they would have to kill the Great Lord Noya.
"That's the Great Lord Noya? Sure enough, it's powerful. "
Shifeng hid in the forest as he gazed at the gigantic Gargoyle standing before the valley's entrance.
