Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God - Chapter 444

Chapter 444

Chapter 444 - Path of an Expert

Aqua Rose and the rest of the Zero Wing party nodded passionately in response to Shi Feng’s question .

If they could quickly raise their Skill Completion Rates, their strength would also rise to the next level . Naturally, this was the goal .

“It’s really simple, actually . Think more; train more,” Shi Feng said frankly .

“Think more; train more?” The team rolled their eyes at their Guild Leader .

They had been doing exactly that all this time . However, they had almost reached their limit .

“That’s right . Think more; train more . There’s no other way . In God’s Domain, every skill movement has its own purpose . First, figure out why such movements are required, then carry them out . You guys have been trying to draw a tiger by looking at a cat . You cannot improve if all you’re doing is mimicking the tutorial videos . ” Shi Feng was aware of the enthusiasm filling his companions’ hearts . However, one could not become more proficient overnight .

After the second evolution of God’s Domain, players would experience a slump for a relatively long period . Experts were no exception .

Many players struggled with the sudden weakness, falling from glory .

However, it was precisely because of God’s Domain’s second evolution that the difference between ordinary players and experts had become more distinct .

Previously, a player’s strength relied on their equipment and techniques . After the second evolution, however, a player’s strength mainly relied on their Skill Completion Rates . With this new system, one could immediately tell whether a player was a dragon or a worm .

Ordinary players’ Skill Completion Rates usually ranged between 50% and 60%, and players at this standard were considered beginners . Players with 61% to 70% Completion Rates were elites . Meanwhile, those who achieved 71% to 80% were experts, and 80% to 90% was the domain of top-tier experts . Players who could reach Completion Rates above 90% were as rare as a phoenix’s feather .

In the past, Shi Feng’s best record had been 87% . Although he was only 3% away from surpassing a top-tier expert, it was the difference between heaven and earth .

The fact that Fire Dance and the others could achieve such results with just a few hours of practice was already impressive .

After the second evolution of God’s Domain, many players had not dared to solo monsters . Many players had spent several days practicing their skills just to reach a 50% Completion Rate .

Only players who had achieved a 50% Skill Completion Rate were strong enough to solo . Otherwise, with inadequate Completion Rates, their damage was negligible . In addition, a majority of the players in God’s Domain relied on their skills to kill monsters . Hence, without sufficient Completion Rates, players would only find death if they grinded alone .

“Contemplate the importance of the required movements?” Fire Dance pondered .

“Must I do that to manifest the techniques of the skill?” Fire Dance recalled her previous uses of Backstab in battle .

In the past, she would always think of ways to strike her opponent from behind, never considering how she could use Backstab more efficiently .

However, in the tutorial video of Backstab, the player would first dodge the opponent’s attack, reverse the grip on his weapon, then circle behind the opponent with a spin and stab his weapon into his opponent’s back . The entire process was smooth and efficient, and was much faster, more vicious, and more difficult to dodge than her previous attack method .

Thinking up to this point, Fire Dance searched impatiently for another Wolfman Warrior to experiment on .

This time, however, Fire Dance did not enter Stealth . Instead, she waltzed up to the Elite monster . When the Wolfman Warrior noticed Fire Dance, it howled and slashed its greatsword at the Assassin .

Fire Dance did not immediately try to dodge the oncoming attack . Instead, she waited until the Wolfman Warrior’s greatsword reached its maximum speed before moving . Fire Dance took a step forward before sidestepping, dodging the greatsword at the last possible moment . Reversing her grip on the Truefire Blade, she then spun and shoved the blade into the Wolfman Warrior’s back . Due to her body’s rotational power, the radiant sword’s speed had increased . Even Shi Feng could not avoid such a fast attack, much less the Wolfman Warrior .

Hua!

The Truefire Blade pierced the Wolfman Warrior’s back, a damage of -2,736 appearing above its head .

System: Backstab Completion Rate 76%, resulting in 90% of skill’s effect . Skill Proficiency +2 .

Fire Dance’s eyes shone upon seeing this system notification . As if she had found a path through the darkness, her confidence suddenly skyrocketed .





Hence, she continued practicing Backstab on the Wolfman Warrior . When the skill’s Cooldown finished, she would begin again . In the end, the poor Wolfman Warrior died after Fire Dance toyed with it for five minutes…

“Sister Fire Dance is amazing! That last one even reached 78%!” Flying Shadow’s admiration intensified when he saw the final Backstab Fire Dance had used on the Wolfman Warrior .

After watching Fire Dance’s performance, as if realization had dawned upon them, everyone hunted down their own targets to practice with .

Meanwhile, Shi Feng continued to search for the exit in silence, not bothering to comment .

Excessive guidance would lead to Fire Dance and the others to believe that his way was the only way . However, everyone had their own paths and unique fighting habits . Different habits and body types would lead to different skill techniques . If they followed him blindly, although they could improve massively in a short time, it would be detrimental to their future development . Thus, he wanted them to figure things out for themselves .

In the past, Shi Feng had tried mimicking other experts, copying their every move in the hopes of improving his technique . Unfortunately, nobody had warned him about his actions’ downsides .

Although his strength had soared in a short time, in the end, he had been stuck as a top-tier expert . No matter what he did, he could not overcome that final hurdle . In the past, he had never been able to use Void Steps . However, after reincarnating, Shi Feng discovered that only the path that suited him most was the best path . He was not other people, so how could he achieve any results if he followed a path meant for someone else?

In the end, this revelation had allowed him to master Void Steps in this life, becoming significantly stronger .

However, learning Void Steps was nothing more than the first step away from mimicry . He still had a long way to go and many aspects to explore before he could forge his own way .

For a time, the Land of the Fallen Star became a testing ground for Shi Feng and his party members .

Without realizing it, they had spent over seven hours in the Land of the Fallen Star, and during this period, they had killed numerous Level 27 Elite ranked Wolfman Warriors . Everyone’s Skill Completion Rates had constantly improved during this time . Although they could not consistently achieve 70%, they could still manage above 60% . The party had also mined over 1,300 pieces of Starfire Ore, their mining far more efficient than when they were outside this crystal cavern . Now, they had accumulated over 20,000 pieces of Starfire Ore .

Such a large stock of Starfire Ore was worth over 200 Gold . Once Shi Feng refined the ore into Starfire Essence using the Philosopher’s Stone, the total value would be over 800 Gold .

Even for first-rate Guilds, 800 Gold was a massive sum of money . If they obtained several hundred more Gold, they could purchase relatively valuable real-estate .

If used for forging, the value of the Starfire Essences would rise by several folds . The thought alone excited Shi Feng .

“Guild Leader, I’ve discovered a hidden door,” Fire Dance suddenly reported .
