"Evolve." Shifeng clicked "Confirm."
Although he did not know what purpose the Blood Refining Stone would serve, the Nine-headed Magic Snake had spent so much time accumulating Blood Energy. No matter how he looked at it, it was no ordinary item. Otherwise, the Nine-headed Magic Snake wouldn't have dropped it.
Suddenly, the black cube in Shifeng's hand began to disintegrate, transforming into a blood-red, translucent crystal ball.
There was still a blood-red liquid flowing in the crystal ball, and every drop was filled with a powerful life force.
"How can there be such dense Life Energy?!"
Shifeng could clearly sense the HP in the blood-red liquid. It was only slightly weaker than the Water of Life.
However, what kind of treasure was the Water of Life? A single drop could heal a crippled NPC. After accumulating enough Water of Life, even a dead NPC could be revived.
Yet, the blood-red crystal ball contained over a dozen drops of liquid comparable to the Water of Life.
"What is this?" Shifeng could not help his curiosity as he inspected the Blood Refining Crystal's Attribute Panel.
[Blood Refining Crystal] (Dark-Gold Rank Item) Players can absorb the life energy of powerful monsters they kill. For every 100 points of Blood Energy accumulated, one drop of Life Essence will be produced. Maximum of 1,000 drops of Life Essence can be accumulated. Each drop of Life Essence can rapidly recover Stamina and Concentration for two hours. (Current quantity available. Is this the Blood Refining Crystal's true appearance?) Shifeng was shocked after reading the item's introduction.
It was common knowledge in God's Domain that players needed to rest to recover their Stamina and Concentration. Hence, players could not grind monsters for long periods of time. They needed to rest and grind for a period of time.
Although there were some recovery tools, such as food and field tents, they could only be used when players were not in combat.
Shifeng knew of a few items that could recover Stamina and Concentration during battle. However, these items were extremely difficult to obtain.
For example, the Water of Life could also recover Stamina and Concentration. However, using it to allow Guild players to grind monsters continuously was no longer a luxury. No Guild in God's Domain was capable of such a feat. The other tools and items were also very expensive. They were very difficult to obtain. Even if a large Guild mobilized its resources, it would barely be enough for a few of the Guild's experts to level up or use when they were running low on Stamina during Field Quests.
Shifeng had not expected the Nine-headed Magic Snake to drop such good items.
With the Blood Refining Crystal, he wouldn't have to rest to recover his Stamina and Concentration. This would save him a lot more time than other players.
Unfortunately, the accumulation process was somewhat slow. Normally, only two or three players would be able to use it continuously. If he could use it on an entire Guild's main force, he would have no friends.
"Now, we have the Blood Refining Crystal. It can save me a lot of time. "
Melee combat in Shifeng consumed far more Stamina and Concentration than normal combat. Moreover, the Blood Warriors in the Blood Refining Passage weren't easy to deal with. In an intense battle, the Stamina and Concentration consumption would multiply. The Life Essence from the Blood Refining Crystal was a timely help.
Then, the Shifeng poured out a drop of Life Essence and drank it.
Immediately, Shifeng felt a wave of comfort wash over his body. The fatigue from the constant battle also disappeared, and his thoughts became clearer.
"This is really good stuff."
The Shifeng originally planned to rest after fighting for a while. Now, it seemed like there was no need for him to rest. He could start fighting immediately.
After more than a day of battle … The Shifeng had become very proficient in dealing with four Blood Warriors simultaneously. Their swordsmanship had also become increasingly nimble. During the battle, Shifeng constantly abandoned superfluous Attack Techniques in pursuit of efficiency, increasing the speed of their swords. Now, they could kill a Blood Warrior with the fewest number of attacks.
Originally, Shifeng had never cared about such things. As long as they killed monsters, they didn't care how much effort they had to expend.
However, while inside the Blood Refining Passage, players could not use their Skills. If they wanted to kill the Blood Fighters quickly, they would have to rely on their Skills. If they wanted to kill monsters quickly, they needed to be efficient.
This seemed to open a new door for Shifeng.
Originally, Shi Feng had needed over 150 strikes to kill a Blood Fighter with 100,000 HP. Of the four Blood Fighters, Shi Feng had needed over 150 strikes to kill each of them. Of the four Blood Fighters, Shi Feng had used over 50 strikes to defend himself. However, Shi Feng's Defense had decreased as time passed. Now, Shi Feng only needed around 130 strikes to kill a Blood Fighter with 100,000 HP. For a time, Shi Feng's leveling efficiency had increased significantly.
Time passed quickly. Shifeng immersed himself in his swordsmanship, constantly thinking of ways to simplify his attacks.
If he ran out of Stamina, he would drink Life Essence and continue fighting.
Only when a golden glow enveloped his body, signifying that he had reached Level 35 did Shifeng snap out of his daze.
After training for so long, I've almost reached my limit. It's time to challenge the Blood Warriors. Shifeng smiled faintly as he looked at his own Attributes.
After reaching Level 35, the Golden Stigmata would only increase all Attributes by 5 points for every 5 Levels. In addition, he would also receive 10 Free Attribute Points. Tier 1 players would receive 8 Free Attribute Points for every 5 Levels, and the Abyssal Blade would receive an additional 2 Free Attribute Points.
After reaching Level 35, Shifeng had accumulated 20 Free Attribute Points and 5 points to all Attributes. Not to mention, the Tier 1 Set Equipment, Seven Luminaries Ring, and Heavenly Dragon's Breath had also increased his Attributes.
Previously, when Shifeng had fought the Blood Warriors, he had clearly felt that his speed was insufficient. Hence, he had allocated all 20 Free Attribute Points to Agility.
Although he had only leveled up once, it was the equivalent of equipping an additional piece of Level 35 Agility-based Dark-Gold Equipment. His strength had increased significantly.
Blood Refining Passage, Blood Warrior's battle zone …
The Blood Warrior wielding a silver greatsword appeared once more. Now that Shifeng had experienced this battle once, he had no intention of giving the Blood Warrior an opportunity to attack. Taking a step forward, he charged at the Blood Warrior.
If this had been before, such an action would have been suicidal. With the Blood Warrior's speed, Shi Feng could only receive the attack head-on.
In the next moment, the Blood Warrior gripped its greatsword tightly and swung down at Shi Feng.
Boom!
The silver greatsword failed to hit Shifeng.
Shifeng had long since predicted the Blood Warrior's attack trajectory. When the Blood Warrior was about to attack, Shifeng had already begun dodging. If he had waited until the Blood Warrior had swung its greatsword before dodging, with his current Attributes, he would not have been able to dodge the attack. Even blocking the attack would have been difficult.
After dodging the first slash, Shifeng did not immediately counterattack. Instead, he leaned forward abruptly.
Hua!
Another streak of silver light streaked across Shifeng's head.
Only after Shifeng had dodged five consecutive slashes did his sword strike the Blood Warrior's abdomen, causing a critical damage of -2,174. Although the Blood Warrior was forced to take half a step back, it did not affect the Blood Warrior in any way.
However, Shifeng was already very happy with this outcome.
Previously, when he had fought the Blood Warrior, he had not even been able to resist. Now that he could deal damage to the Blood Warrior, it was only a matter of time before the Blood Warrior's 240,000 HP depleted.
