I have an Apocalypse City-Chapter 863 - 864 Battle_1
Chapter 863: Chapter 864 Battle_1
Everything within the Trial Space, including items, can only be used within the space and cannot be taken out. Even skills would be directly deleted upon leaving.
Song Jian’s Thousand Swords Art was a Legendary Level skill, and he wouldn’t have it sealed for a Dark Gold Quality skill, but if he could use these skills to improve the proficiency of his Thousand Swords Art, even if it was only effective in the Trial Space and would disappear after leaving, for Song Jian, it still represented an enhancement of his strength;
“Devour!”
Song Jian inwardly commanded.
Instantly, a purple-golden light flashed in his skill column, enveloping the Chaotic Blade Skill Book before him. In a short while, the Skill Book vanished, and the proficiency of his Thousands of Swords Flying Immortal Decision in the skill column had increased by a small notch;
...
“Hmm, the proficiency gained isn’t much!” Song Jian frowned slightly. A Dark Gold Quality Skill Book should at least increase the proficiency of his Thousand Swords Art by one-fifth of three levels, but now it only increased by one-fiftieth, which was merely one-tenth the effect of a typical Dark Gold Quality Skill Book;
“Forget it, it’s free loot anyway, a little less is fine,” Song Jian shook his head, closed his skill column, and turned to leave the place;
More than three hundred players were scattered in an abandoned city, much like a handful of sand tossed in the desert. If it weren’t for incredibly good luck, it would be quite difficult to encounter others in the early stages of the trial. Therefore, aside from Song Jian eliminating one player, the remaining player count hadn’t changed much in the first thirty minutes;
However, this situation wouldn’t last long. As the deadly halo at the city’s edge further shrank, intense conflicts would erupt among the players in the trial;
By this time, players who had passed the selection had started to enter the Trial Space one after another, and the number of remaining players had directly broken through five hundred. These players, who did not possess the first-order Combat Power and had entered half an hour late, were at a disadvantage.
But one should not underestimate these individuals. To stand out from several thousand players, they surely had their trump cards. Moreover, in the Trial Space, as long as they were careful and as time passed, the gap between these newly entered players and those with first-order Combat Power would narrow;
Nevertheless, due to the random nature of entry into the Trial Space, some of the players who had passed the selection found themselves randomly placed near those with first-order Combat Power.
Players who had been searching for more than half an hour were now equipped with gear, almost none of which were below Dark Gold Quality. Some had even found one or two Dark Gold Level or Epic Level skills suitable for themselves, and their strength had undergone a drastic change, increasing by several tens of times;
Seeing new players just entering the game, still looking confused, they immediately raised their slaughter knives and eliminated everyone they came across, reducing the number of players quickly from five hundred to fewer than four hundred;
Forty minutes later, Song Jian was already equipped with a set of Dark Gold Quality gear, which included two Epic pieces: a Wrath Helmet and Demon’s Gauntlets. Although these pieces were individual and the overall effect was slightly inferior to his Ant Emperor Ancestor Set, the difference was limited;
Song Jian was searching for other players while getting accustomed to the skills that came with his new equipment. If he did not master these newly acquired skills quickly, he could make grave errors in battle so minimal they could lead to significant consequences;
As for Skill Books, Song Jian had found five or six, but only three were suitable for his use. He sacrificed all these skills in one go, raising the proficiency of his Thousands of Swords Flying Immortal Decision by nearly one-fifth;
Boom~
From a tall building ahead, a sudden explosion sounded, and the building collapsed with a thunderous crash, stirring up waves of dust. Amid the dust, magical energy kept flashing. Song Jian’s eyes brightened. It seemed there were players fighting up ahead;
As Song Jian approached, he found that ahead was a group of players engaged in a melee, around a dozen of them attacking each other. They appeared to be fighting individually, rather conservatively.
At that moment, Song Jian also noticed that like sharks smelling blood, more players were beginning to converge on this area. The battle ahead was about three to four hundred meters away from where Song Jian was, which was beyond his perception range. However, the attack range of “Thousands of Swords Flying Immortal Decision” was a thousand meters. Song Jian hid in a concealed corner, holding the Sky-breaking Sword and swung it towards the combatants.
Instantly, more than thirty Spirit Swords appeared around him. Song Jian gave a rough position with his mind and then let go of control.
The Spirit Swords scattered and flew towards the fray. Seven or eight swords flew beyond the target range, with only about twenty exploding within the battleground of the players.
Boom, boom, boom~
Another series of intense explosions followed. After releasing “Thousands of Swords Flying Immortal Decision”, Song Jian immediately moved to another dark corner.
In just a short time, he received three system notifications;
System: You have eliminated trial player Zhao Haitao. Trial points +1. These points can be exchanged for trial rewards after the trial ends.
System: You have eliminated trial player Wang Zufa. Trial points +1. These points can be exchanged for trial rewards after the trial ends.
System: You have eliminated trial player Sun Hai. Trial points +1. These points can be exchanged for trial rewards after the trial ends.
…
“Only killed three players? That’s a bit of a pity,” Song Jian glanced at the added points and thought to himself. The power of “Thousands of Swords Flying Immortal Decision” was not something these players could withstand; each Spirit Sword could now cause damage exceeding a thousand points. If the damage amplification effect was triggered, or if a critical hit occurred, even a heavily armored Shield Warrior could be killed in one strike.
The total damage from that one hit could have wiped out all the players who were fighting, but with only three system notifications, it was clear that most of the damage had been wasted.
This had a lot to do with Song Jian’s perception range. His current limit for perception range was only one hundred meters, and the control range was merely ten meters. Beyond one hundred meters, Song Jian couldn’t sense the existence of others, so he couldn’t lock on to them.
If the previous battle had been within Song Jian’s perception range, he could have directed each Spirit Sword at an enemy for a precise strike.
However, besides those fighting players, the surroundings were also fraught with danger, and rashly approaching would not only expose Song Jian’s own position after eliminating those combatants but also result in him being fired upon by onlooking players, which would be more trouble than it’s worth.
“This is a survival trial, not a contest of who kills more people or who has higher points!” Song Jian thought to himself, his gaze shifting towards a tall building not far away.
