Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

Seeing Fist Sage still wouldn’t let it go, Jiang Cheng could only spread his hands helplessly,

“I’ve got an idea, but first I want to ask, can you use the Eight Step Shattering Fist?”

“No,” Fist Sage shook his head regretfully, his tone quite certain.

The Eight Step Shattering Fist had insanely high attack speed requirements – eight consecutive punches in one second, each landing on a different point.

In other words, the interval between each punch couldn’t exceed 0.11 seconds.

This required all skills and effects combined to reach an attack speed of 0.11.

At the current stage, all players’ equipment was terrible. Who could break through 0.11 attack speed?

Nobody could do it.

“How many punches can you throw?” Jiang Cheng asked, unfazed.

“Relying on the forced blade retraction of my off-hand weapon, I can barely manage three punches. But you know, the Eight Step Shattering Fist needs continuity. Just three punches have no effect at all.”

Jiang Cheng nodded. Of course he knew – after all, this divine technique was something he and Fist Sage had researched and created together.

No one knew it better than him.

“No problem. I’ll take care of the rest,” Jiang Cheng’s eye sockets suddenly blazed with soul fire.

On the way here, he had already burned through all 12,900 of his enhancement points.

He’d also discovered that after enhancing his bones, some level data had been added.

Last time, he’d enhanced the bones in his right hand, gaining a 200-point attack bonus and mutating the Divine Wind Hands talent.

Now, that hand bone displayed this:

【Black Ice Enhanced Hand Bone – Right Hand】

Quality: Third-tier

Attack +200

Derived Talent: Divine Wind Hands

This time, he chose both hand bones, spending 8000 enhancement points to upgrade his left hand bone to fifth-tier.

【Black Ice Enhanced Hand Bone – Left Hand】

Quality: Fifth-tier

Attack +300

Agility +100

Derived Talent: Hand of Polaris

Socketed: Earth Fiend – Purple Fiend Sigil, Earth Fiend – Green Fiend Sigil

His attack power increased by another 300 points, agility by 100 points, two socket slots were added, and he mutated the Hand of Polaris talent.

【Hand of Polaris】

Quality: Legendary

Strength +50

Agility +50

Critical Damage +30%

Attack Speed +50%

Overview: Normal attacks carry the Polaris effect, dealing 50 points of armor penetration to enemies within a 1*1 meter range.

This talent had an area armor penetration effect of 50 points.

Plus, its inherent attribute bonuses were quite good.

Strength equaled 50 attack points. Added to the 300 points from the fifth-tier hand bone, that was 350 more attack power. With the 120 attack points from enhancing his off-hand weapon, his total attack power reached 2550.

Critical damage increased by 0.3 times, reaching a total multiplier of 5.6 times.

The added agility and attack speed allowed him to break through the 1.69-second base attack speed, reaching 1.4 seconds.

Afterwards, he used the remaining 4900 enhancement points to upgrade Gale Phantom Break to level 5.

【Gale Phantom Break】

Quality: Legendary

Level: 5

Passive: Agility +150, Movement Speed +150

Active: Consumes 300 mana. Upon use, increases attack speed by 500% and movement speed by 200% for 30 minutes. Attacks have an 18% chance to trigger an afterimage effect, dealing an extra attack for 80% of the previous attack’s damage, ignoring target’s defense.

At level 5, agility increased from 50 to 100 points, and movement speed likewise.

When actively used, attack speed boost increased from 300% to 500%.

Movement speed boost increased from 100% to 200%.

The chance to trigger afterimages increased from 12% to 18%.

Afterimage damage increased from 30% to 80%.

Of course, he didn’t care much about these details.

What he mainly noticed was that after this enhancement, his agility reached a terrifying 810 points!

It’s worth noting that for ordinary players now, even agility-focused archers wearing full sets of level 30 legendary gear wouldn’t exceed 200 agility points.

But he already had 810 points.

810 points of agility.

Combined with the 130% attack speed bonus from Divine Wind Hands and the 500% bonus when using Gale Phantom Break, he truly broke through the 0.3-second attack speed, reaching the limit of 0.25 attacks per second.

Unlike ordinary players or even skilled players, who might show 0.25 attack speed on their attribute panel but couldn’t actually perform four attacks per second – most ordinary players max out at two attacks per second, while skilled players might reach three to four – Jiang Cheng could perfectly execute this attack speed once he reached it.

Now, he had evolved from three attacks per second to four attacks and four arrows per second.

Even with the forced blade retraction effect, he could still manage five attacks per second!

If luck was on his side and he triggered afterimage, Divine Wind Silhouette, and Seven Slaughters effects simultaneously, he could reach 16 attacks in one second!

Pulling A Silly Cutie aside, Jiang Cheng said, “Little Cutie, lend him that pair of dark attribute level 35 legendary gauntlets.”

Dark attribute level 35 legendary gauntlets, on loan?

A Silly Cutie couldn’t quite understand Jiang Cheng’s move. Didn’t they… seem to have a good relationship?

Yet he still used the word “lend.”

Skeleton Big Brother was being too stingy.

“Fist Sage, this is what Skeleton Big Brother asked me to give you.”
