Chapter 9: Level 10 Attributes and Skill Enhancement
Chapter 9: Level 10 Attributes and Skill Enhancement
In the Wolf King Valley, Su Yu was also keeping an eye on the level rankings.
"Thousand Cups of Sobriety, Ice Black Tea, and Cangshan Youjing—I didn’t expect these experts to rise to the top so early," Su Yu sighed.
Cangshan Youjing was a renowned grind master and story expert from the Heaven Slashing Guild, known for his keen sense in discovering hidden quests. Ice Black Tea was a lone wolf, the top assassin of the previous life, whose status in the world of assassins was unchallenged. As for Thousand Cups of Sobriety, he was an intriguing character.
Thousand Cups of Sobriety was also a lone wolf, and he was the most legendary figure in the early stages of the game.
In the real world, he was born into a martial arts family, and his martial arts skills were undisputedly the best in the entire Chinese martial arts circle.
Moreover, the martial arts he practiced weren’t the flashy, performative kind, but genuine, practical combat skills!
After entering the game, his agility and dexterity were so high that no small enemies could even touch him, effectively giving him 100% evasion, making him the fastest leveling player in the game.
However, he didn’t like the assassin class, finding it didn’t suit his personality, and didn’t take the game seriously in the early stages.
When the third expansion, "The Empire of Pandaren," was released, the game introduced four new classes: Warrior, Monk, Daoist, and Scholar.
Thousand Cups of Sobriety completed a hidden quest to switch to the Warrior class. With his exceptional skills and incredible luck, he rose to fame at lightning speed, becoming a formidable presence in the third expansion, comparable to the legendary Snowflake Detail.
These three could be considered the top tier players in the game.
Su Yu casually sent friend requests to Thousand Cups of Sobriety and Ice Black Tea.
After a while, he received no response.
They might have been flooded with friend requests and were busy shutting them all down.
Su Yu shook his head and opened his attribute panel.
After reaching level 10, Su Yu’s attribute panel changed to:
Character: [Kexing ]
Level: lv10
Class: Mage
Bloodline: [ Stellar Bloodline (Legendary) ]

Reaching level 10 brought significant improvements.
His equipment and skills could now be upgraded to epic quality.
"Chime, would you like to spend 10,000 Psychic Coins to enhance [ Magic Bullet (Rare) ]?"
"Confirm!"
"Chime, please choose the enhancement direction for [ Magic Bullet ]: 1. [ Elemental Burst ]: After hitting an enemy, it will deal 30% damage to all enemies within 4 meters; 2. [ Magic Control ]: You you small range manipulation guidance after release release."

4 meters."
"Note: The enhancement direction can be changed by spending 10,000 Psychic Coins."
"Let’s go with 2." Su Yu chose one at random, as he didn’t use this spell anyway.
"Congratulations! [ Magic Bullet (Rare) ] has been upgraded to [ Magic Bullet (Epic) ]."
A brilliant golden light enveloped Su Yu’s [ Magic Bullet ] skill icon,, then it exploded in a dazzling display.
[ Magic Bullet ]
The skill icon's color changed to a soothing purple.
Su Yu didn't stop there and continued to upgrade his skills.
"System: Please choose the enhancement direction for [Lightning Arrow]: 1. [Thunderbolt]: Increases the chance to trigger [Paralysis] to 100% on hit; 2. [Forked Lightning]: 50% chance to hit an additional target."
"Choose 1."
"System: Please choose the enhancement direction for [Ice Arrow]: 1. [Bone-Chilling Cold]: Adds a 15% chance to freeze the enemy; 2. [Frost Bloodline]: Every third cast of this spell is free."
"Choose 1."
"System: Please choose the enhancement direction for [Ice Shield]: 1. [Physical Barrier]: Immune to the first physical damage; 2. [Magical Barrier]: Immune to the first magical damage (Note: The damage absorbed cannot exceed 10 times the maximum shield value)."
"Choose 1."
"System: Please choose the enhancement direction for [Chain Lightning]: 1. [Elemental Echo]: 20% chance to release an additional spell; 2. [Multiple Bounces]: Increases the number of bounces to 5."
"Choose 2."
"System: Please choose the enhancement direction for [Blink]: 1. [Flash]: This spell has two charges; 2. [Fold Over]: Increases the teleport distance by 5 meters."
"Choose 1."
"System: Please choose the enhancement direction for [Invisibility]: 1. [Stealth]: Reduces the cooldown by 1 minute; 2. [Striking from the Shadows]: The first spell or attack while invisible deals 30% more damage."
"Choose 1."
Su Yu upgraded all his skills.
Upgrading skills to Epic quality not only increased their attributes but also added some extra features.
Some of these features weren't very useful to Su Yu, like the reduced mana cost for [Ice Arrow].
But some were incredibly powerful!
For example, the [Physical Barrier] feature for [Ice Shield].
Su Yu did some rough calculations and determined that, with [Ice Shield], he could now withstand the first attack from a level 30 warrior or archer, and even block a bullet from a handgun in real life.
And as his level increased, this feature would only get stronger!
At higher levels, he might even be able to withstand the explosion of a missile!
In addition to his skills, his equipment could also be upgraded.
However, after reviewing his gear, he decided that only the [Village Chief’s Staff] needed upgrading. The other cloth armor wasn't necessary to enhance at this stage.
Currently, his damage output was more than sufficient, and it was better to wear gear that increased his movement speed for faster leveling and completing tasks.
If he encountered a boss he couldn't defeat or his leveling speed slowed down, he could always switch to higher-level cloth armor later.
So, Su Yu only upgraded the [Village Chief’s Staff].
"System: Please choose the enhancement direction for [Village Chief’s Staff]: 1. Add Skill: [Blink]; 2. Spell Power +10."
"An 'Add Skill' option?" Su Yu's eyes lit up.
Without hesitation, he chose 1.
Generally, only legendary-quality items had the option to add a skill. He hadn't expected the [Village Chief’s Staff] to gain this feature after being upgraded!
Adding [Blink] to the [Village Chief’s Staff] meant that even if Su Yu didn't know the skill, he could still cast it using the staff.
Moreover, the [Blink] on the [Village Chief’s Staff] didn't share a cooldown with his own [Blink].
This meant that, with the additional charge from upgrading [Blink], Su Yu could now cast [Blink] three times in quick succession, greatly enhancing his survival capabilities!
