The moment they started fighting, Yang Rui could feel the difference between a Seventh Grade soldier and a beginner general. Due to the unique characteristics of the skills they mastered, several Seventh Grade soldiers could use a combination skill. This characteristic was much more troublesome to deal with than a beginner general's attack.
The upper limit of a beginner general and a Seventh Grade soldier's attack was only a little over a hundred points. Yang Rui's Violet-Gold equipment had a defense of several hundred points. At this level of attack power, it was impossible to break through Yang Rui's defense under normal circumstances.
Unless it was a vital point attack that would cause a certain amount of damage, there wasn't much difference between Yang Rui fighting a beginner general or a Seventh Grade soldier and a lower grade soldier. The only difference was that the attack would consume more energy. This was also the reason why Yang Rui was able to fight the beginner generals of the first ten floors with relative ease.
However, the system's judgment of the Seventh Grade soldier's combination skill was very complicated. Not only did it increase the upper limit of the attack, but it also took a lot more energy to avoid critical hits.
Thus, Yang Rui was no longer as relaxed as before when he stepped into the 91st floor of the Tower of Civilization. The speed of his advance when facing a dozen or so Seventh Grade soldiers also slowed down significantly. The combination skill of the Seventh Grade soldiers didn't just increase their attack power, it also increased their ability to dodge.
Under such circumstances, Yang Rui had no choice but to place the thirty village warriors in his hands far away. For the time being, there was no way he could have them join the fray. The difference between a Seventh Grade and a Sixth Grade soldier was still too great!
In this manner, Yang Rui managed to wipe out two to three Seventh Grade strongholds in a row. Looking at the amount of internal energy he had expended, it was much more than before.
Originally, after Yang Rui cleared the 90th floor of the Tower of Civilization and entered the virtual replenishment plane, his inner force had only recovered about 80%. This was under the condition that the Soaring Dragon Internal Strength Mental Cultivation Method — Soul Recovery Speed was relatively fast.
With the current situation, Yang Rui might not be able to sustain ten floors in a row. Moreover, based on the situation on the previous floors, the monsters that appeared after the 96th floor of the Tower of Civilization were likely to have the strength of a Seventh Grade special soldier. The difficulty would only increase!
A Seventh Grade special soldier was equivalent to an ordinary Eighth Grade soldier. It should be slightly stronger than an intermediate general. At that time, Yang Rui would have to consume a lot more energy!
Thus, under the current situation. The problem that Yang Rui faced changed from how to preserve his means to break through the checkpoints and cities of the five to ten levels to how to conserve his Inner Strength and persevere until the next virtual replenishment level. Otherwise, Yang Rui would very likely fall into a situation where he would not be able to continue.
Of course, if the monsters on every floor were cleared smoothly. Normally, there would be some time left. As long as Yang Rui was not in a hurry to step into the next level, he could use this time to recover.
However, according to the current speed of advancement, there shouldn't be much time left, and the amount of Inner Strength that could be recovered should be very limited. Whether he could last until the virtual supply plane was still unknown.
Faced with such a situation, Yang Rui didn't hesitate for too long. He activated the defensive skill [Tiger's Might as Cage] that came with the Golden Tiger Leg Guards. With the 50% damage reduction attribute, Yang Rui decided to give up on defense and attack with all his might. He clashed head-on with the Seventh Grade soldiers on the 91st floor.
Yang Rui's combat prowess was on full display in this situation of fighting offense with offense. Yang Rui, who had already switched to the nameless three-foot-long sword, activated the Level 1 ultimate skill of the Crimson Emperor Swordplay and still killed a Seventh Grade soldier with a single strike. Then, he pushed forward sharply.
Eighty-one Styles of Falling Wild Goose, Soul Spear Technique's effectiveness against Seventh Grade soldiers had decreased. When the Seventh Grade soldiers used a combination skill, the damage from Eighty-one Styles of Falling Wild Goose, Soul Spear Technique, could no longer kill them in one hit. Instead, it gave them a chance to breathe.
The speed of killing monsters increased again. Yang Rui didn't relax because of this. Instead, he silently calculated the time.
Yang Rui still had [Python Movement] and [Solid Jade Jade] that he hadn't used yet. These two skills lasted for six hours, just like [Tiger's Might as Cage]. Moreover, the [Solid Jade Jade] that came with the Golden Jade Armor, Soul Spear Technique, Yang Rui was preparing to use it when he broke through the 100th floor.
Therefore, Yang Rui had to coordinate his attack efficiency and energy consumption in order to make another breakthrough in the Tower of Civilization!
Fortunately, after the 96th floor of the Tower of Civilization. Although the difficulty would be higher, there should still be a Seventh Grade Class Change Skill Book. When that time came, the 30 village warriors behind Yang Rui would be able to be put to good use and become a great help.
However, the 30 village warriors were still at Level 68. They still needed to be close to Second Grade before they could meet the requirements to upgrade.
This was another contradiction. Yang Rui had to let them participate in the process of killing monsters appropriately and raise the remaining two levels. Only then would they be able to successfully advance to Grade 7 soldiers and be more useful.
The monsters in the Tower of Civilization gave a lot of experience, but the 30 Sixth Grade village warriors had to be able to help. Therefore, every time Yang Rui encountered a lone Seventh Grade soldier, or when there were fewer Seventh Grade soldiers in a stronghold, he would create conditions for the village warriors to help.
…
Two hours later, Yang Rui hurriedly broke through the 91st floor of the Tower of Civilization. After making sure that he didn't miss any Civilization Imprints, he immediately stepped into the 92nd floor map. At this time, his energy was only left with a little more than 65%.
On the 91st floor, Yang Rui obtained a total of 59 Civilization Imprints, some siege weapon parts, and nearly 400 Seventh Grade Class Change Skill Books and Basic Neigong Mantra Skill Books.
Among them, the Seventh Grade Class Change Skill Books and Basic Neigong Mantra Skill Books were dropped by Seventh Grade soldiers. They were also necessary for Sixth Grade soldiers to upgrade to Seventh Grade.
There wasn't much difference between the 92nd floor's map and the previous floor's map. With his previous experience, Yang Rui spent less than two hours to appear in front of the next floor's passageway. Without hesitation, he stepped into the 93rd floor's map.
At this time, Yang Rui only had a little more than 55% of his energy left. Yang Rui still didn't intend to use the remaining time to recover. Instead, he chose to make full use of the remaining one hour of [Tiger's Might Is A Cage].
By the time Yang Rui broke through the 93rd floor map of the Tower of Civilization, the remaining duration of [Tiger's Might Is A Cage] was about to end. At this time, Yang Rui had used another 10% of his energy. He wasn't in a hurry to enter the next floor. Instead, he circulated his neigong mantra in front of the tunnel and quietly recovered.
