Chapter 582 - The True Power of a Magic Weapon

Shi Feng killed over a dozen Level 35 Demonic Hounds, testing his various Skills .

When used with the Abyssal Blade, he could manipulate every Skill of his as if just playing with a toy . He could casually mold the Skill to his liking, very easily his past records of Skill Completion Rates .

In God’s Domain, Skill Completion Rates were an important indicator of a player’s actual strength .

In the past, in order to improve the Completion Rate of one Skill by just 1%, many players had trained arduously for days, sometimes even weeks . Particularly, after reaching the 85% threshold, raising a Skill’s Completion Rate by 1% required a tremendous amount of effort . For some, even that wasn’t enough; all the training in the world was useless .

However, with the Abyssal Blade in hand, this ironclad law was instantly broken .

When one wanted to improve their combat techniques, they first needed to learn how to control their own bodies . If one could not even control their form properly, they could never control the weapons in their hands .

Shi Feng’s control over his body had long since reached a very high standard . Unfortunately, he had not reached a similar level with his control over his weapons . He could not reach a level where he could feel even a strand of hair fall onto his sword’s edge .

However, his compatibility with the Abyssal Blade now was practically perfect . It felt as if he had become one with the Magic Weapon, allowing his Skill Completion Rate to reach new highs .

At this moment, he surpassed all previous records with one of his Basic Skills, Chop, achieving a 95% Completion Rate .

If a Skill’s Completion Rate reached 95%, the Skill would display 135% of its effects . In other words, Shi Feng’s current Chop dealt an additional 35% damage compared to his previous 85% Completion Rate . The increase in combat power was obvious .

After continuously using the newly improved Abyssal Blade for such a long time, Shi Feng had grown addicted to the sensation he received from the Magic Weapon and the pleasure he felt from his strength gradually rising with every passing moment . His heart ached to remain in this state forever .

After killing dozens of Demonic Hounds, Shi Feng’s hunger was unsated . He wanted to continue to utilize these Demonic hounds to improve his Completion Rate . Unfortunately, time was of the essence . He needed to prioritize his quest for now .

In the past, many of those who obtained Magic Weapons had told others not to involve themselves with these things as the Magic Weapon’s power would devour them . So, it turns out that the power they had referred to was not a Magic Weapon’s powerful Attributes . Shi Feng inwardly sighed as he looked at the Abyssal Blade in his hand . In the past, countless experts had trained arduously just so that they could increase their Skill Completion Rate by just one more percentage; some had even gone through all that effort for nothing . Yet, a Magic Weapon can achieve this feat easily . Moreover, as a Magic Weapon grows more powerful, this frightening compatibility rate will also intensify . This is the reason that players in the past had continued to upgrade their Magic Weapons, and as a result, drowned themselves in this sea of Skill Completion Rates, unable to pull themselves from the allure of this power .

Thus far, Shi Feng had only trained for half an hour or so, and already, his stagnant Skill Completion Rates had improved massively . Moreover, Shi Feng could clearly feel that he had yet to reach his limit .

Such power was truly terrifying!

This was a temptation that no expert could distance themselves from . After all, there was not a single expert that did not wish to further refine their own techniques, particularly in this virtual world that was filled with various chance encounters .

Even Shi Feng, someone who had played God’s Domain for over a decade, hungered to upgrade the Abyssal Blade once more, improving the Magic Weapon’s compatibility rate again . This way, he might be able to refine his Skill Completion Rate further .

Achieving a 95% Completion Rate had already increased his combat power by 35% . Every 1% past 90% could increase a Skill’s effect significantly, not to mention past 95% . At that time, just how terrifying would his Skills become?

It might even be possible to double his combat power .

The impact of raising his Skill Completion Rates was far more valuable than learning a single Taboo Skill . After all, a Taboo Skill was only one attack . Although its might surpassed Skills of the same Tier, what would happen the Taboo Skill’s duration?

In the end, he would return to his prior strength .

Meanwhile, a player normally incorporated a variety of Basic Skills into their attacks when engaged in battle . If every Skill could achieve a 100% Completion Rate, one could easily wipe the floor with a player that had learned a Taboo Skill of the same Tier .

This was the true power of a Magic Weapon . Its main purpose lay not in increasing its wielder’s Attributes, but rather, its main function was to improve the fundamentals of a player’s techniques . Not even Fragmented Legendary Weapons could offer such a devastating benefit, much less Epic Weapons .

In the past, every player that wielded a Magic Weapon was undoubtedly a top-tier expert . Some even stood at God’s Domain’s peak .

Shi Feng finally understood that their achievements were all due to the intense compatibility rates that Magic Weapons offered .

Of course, this improvement method was more of a form of diabolism . After all, most of the apex experts of God’s Domain had attained their strength step by step . They had first trained their physical control to the very limit . They then focused on their control over their weapons . Apex experts like these possessed unshakable foundations . Even if they switched to new weapons and equipment, their strength would not decrease significantly and would soon recover . However, it was a different story for Magic Weapon wielders . For those who had obtained a Magic Weapon at the very start of the game, if they suddenly lost their Magic Weapons, their strength would plummet .

Someone who had initially been an apex expert might instantly become a nobody . Hence, in the past, none of the wielders were willing to part with their Magic Weapons . As a result, their Magic Weapons eventually devoured them, and they were forced to start all over again .

However, this inspired an idea in Shi Feng .

If he wanted to nurture experts quickly, it would be best to start with searching for weapons with high compatibility rates . If a player possessed weapons or piece of equipment that was highly compatible, their strength would skyrocket .

Currently, Zero Wing had extremely few top-tier experts, and the standard of the Guild’s elite members was still relatively low . Meanwhile, Dungeons required very high levels of personal strength . Zero Wing’s advantage of raiding speed was only due to the equipment its team wore . In truth, they were far weaker than those teams that relied on personal combat techniques . The Dungeon’s Final Boss was particularly challenging for Zero Wing .

There was practically no way to improve the equipment of Zero Wing’s core members any further at the moment .

If they wished to increase their combat power, they could only do so through Skill Completion Rates .

Unfortunately, until now, Zero Wing’s members had only focused on finding ways to obtain better weapons and equipment to increase their Attributes . They had mostly neglected to improve their Skill Completion Rates . Currently, even Fire Dance, the most powerful melee fighter on Zero Wing’s core team, could only achieve a maximum Skill Completion Rate of 80% . She was still a great distance away from reaching 85% .

If he could improve Fire Dance and the others’ compatibility rates with their weapons, the combat power of Zero Wing’s core team would improve by leaps and bounds .

“Compatibility rate?” Shi Feng pondered aloud .

In fact, he did have a method that could improve one’s compatibility rate; he could recruit a Master Forger into the Guild . Although Master Forgers could not produce a weapon with a 100% compatibility rate with a player, if Zero Wing had a Master Forger, said Forger could, more or less, produce tailor-made weapons and equipment with slightly higher compatibility rates for some of the Guild’s members . This would help the Guild’s experts massively .

Only, nurturing a Master Forger was easier said than done…

Shi Feng no longer wasted time as he sheathed the Abyssal Blade and made his way to Gloomy Valley .

Gray mist shrouded Gloomy Valley all-year round, limiting players’ vision as they explored the area . Moreover, Shi Feng could feel the gray mist suppressing all five of his senses while he wandered the Valley . It was as if he stood deep within the blood mist of the Demonkin army’s killing intent . Only, the suppression effects were much weaker here .

The majority of the monsters inside Gloomy Valley were Level 40 or above Elite rank . There were also plenty of Level 40 or above Special Elites roaming around . Even the outermost region of the valley was a challenge to get through .

Meanwhile, in Gloomy Valley’s inner region, the Level 40 Great Lord Noya stood guard at the gate leading to the next map . If one wished to journey to the new map, they first needed to kill Noya .

“That’s Noya? Sure enough, it’s strong . ”

Shi Feng hid in the forest as he observed the massive gargoyle in front of the valley’s entrance .
