Chapter 1296 Evolution

"Evolve." Shi Feng directly clicked confirm.

Although he didn't know what use there was in the Blood Forging Stone evolving into the Blood Forging Crystal, spending so much time accumulating Blood Forging Qi meant it wasn't a simple item. Otherwise, the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent wouldn't have dropped it.

Immediately, the black cube in Shi Feng's hand began to disintegrate, turning into a blood-red, semi-transparent crystal ball.

Inside the crystal ball flowed a blood-red liquid, each drop filled with a powerful life force.

"How can there be such a rich life force!"

Shi Feng could clearly feel the life value of the blood-red liquid, only slightly inferior to the Water of Life.

But the Water of Life was such a treasure that a single drop could heal a crippled NPC, and accumulating a certain amount could even resurrect dead NPCs.

Now, the blood-red crystal ball contained more than ten drops of blood-red liquid comparable to the Water of Life.

"What exactly is this?" Shi Feng couldn't help but curiously click on the Blood Forging Crystal's attribute panel.

Blood Forging Crystal, Dark-Gold rank item, absorbs the life force of powerful monsters killed by the player. Every 100 points of Blood Qi accumulated produces a drop of Essence of Life, up to 1000 drops of Essence of Life. Each drop of Essence of Life can quickly restore a player's stamina and mental strength for two hours. (Current quantity: 121,000).

"Is this the true form of the Blood Forging Crystal?" After reading the attribute description, Shi Feng was shocked.

It was well known in God's Domain that the recovery of stamina and mental strength required players to rest. So, players couldn't continuously grind and fight for long periods, and needed to rest for a while after grinding for a while.

Although there were also some recovery items, such as food and wild tents, these could only be used in a non-combat state.

Shi Feng did know of some items that could restore stamina and mental strength in combat, but these items were too difficult to obtain.

Things like Water of Life could also restore stamina and mental strength, but using them to allow guild players to continuously grind was not just a matter of extravagance. No guild could afford to do such a thing. Other props and items were similar, expensive, and difficult to obtain. Even using the power of a large guild, it would barely be possible to give them to individual experts in the guild to improve their level or use them during wilderness adventure missions when they ran out of stamina.

Shi Feng hadn't expected the item dropped by the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent to be so good.

With the Blood Forging Crystal, it meant he didn't have to stop to rest and recover stamina and mental strength, which would save him much more time than other players.

It was a pity that the accumulation process was a bit slow. Normally, it could only allow two or three players to use it continuously. If it could allow a guild's main force to do so, it would be incredibly awesome.

"Now that I have the Blood Forging Crystal, it can save me a lot of time."

The White Edge Combat Style consumed much more stamina and mental strength than normal combat, and the Blood Forging Warriors in the Blood Forging Passage were not so easy to deal with. In fierce battles, the consumption of stamina and mental strength would be doubled. Having the Essence of Life from the Blood Forging Crystal was a great help in need.

Then Shi Feng poured out a drop of Essence of Life and drank it down in one gulp.

Immediately, Shi Feng felt a burst of comfort throughout his body, and the fatigue from fighting disappeared, and his mind became clearer.

"What a great item."

Shi Feng had originally planned to rest after fighting for a while, but now it seemed he didn't need to rest and could fight directly.

After more than a day of fighting, Shi Feng was already very skilled at dealing with four Blood Forging Warriors at the same time. His swordsmanship was also becoming more and more sharp and decisive. In battle, Shi Feng constantly abandoned superfluous attack methods, only pursuing efficiency. His sword speed was getting faster and faster, and he could kill Blood Forging Warriors with the fewest number of attacks.

Originally, Shi Feng never considered these things. As long as he killed the monster, he didn't care how much effort it took.

But in the Blood Forging Passage, he couldn't use skills. If he wanted to quickly kill Blood Forging Warriors, he had to be efficient.

This seemed to open a new door for Shi Feng.

Originally, to kill a Blood Forging Warrior with 100,000 HP, he needed more than 150 sword strikes to take down one of the four Blood Forging Warriors, of which more than 50 were used for defense. And this defense was all because he didn't have a good enough grasp of the surrounding environment, giving the Blood Forging Warriors a chance to counterattack. But Shi Feng's defense was getting less and less, evolving from more than 150 sword strikes to the current 130, which greatly increased Shi Feng's leveling efficiency.

Time passed, and Shi Feng was completely immersed in swordsmanship, constantly thinking about how to streamline it.

When he ran out of stamina, he would drink the Essence of Life and then continue fighting.

Until a golden light appeared on his body, and he finally reached level 35, Shi Feng finally came back to his senses.

"After practicing for so long, I've almost reached my limit. It's time to challenge the Blood Forging Champion." Shi Feng looked at his own attributes and smiled faintly.

Because after being promoted to level 35, the Golden Stigmata would only increase all attributes by 5 points for every 5 levels, in addition to 10 free attribute points. Tier 1 players could get 8 free attribute points for each level, and Abyssals could get an extra 2 points.

Shi Feng had accumulated 20 free attribute points when he reached level 35, plus 5 points to all attributes, not to mention the attributes increased by the Tier 1 set, the Seven Luminaries Ring, and the Holy Breath of the Heavenly Dragon.

Before, when Shi Feng was dealing with the Blood Forging Champion, he clearly felt that his speed was not enough, so he added all 20 free attribute points to Agility.

Just by leveling up once, Shi Feng was equivalent to wearing a superb Dark-Gold equipment of the Agility type at level 35 compared to level 34, which greatly improved his strength.

Blood Forging Passage, the combat area of the Blood Forging Champion.

The Blood Forging Champion holding a silver battle blade reappeared. Shi Feng already had one combat experience and didn't plan to give the Blood Forging Champion a chance to attack first. He took a step and rushed towards the Blood Forging Champion.

In the past, this would definitely be an act of suicide. With the Blood Forging Champion's blade speed, he could only take it head-on and couldn't dodge it at all.

The Blood Forging Champion tightly gripped the battle blade and swung it down, a silver glow appearing.

Boom!

The silver-white battle blade failed to hit Shi Feng.

Shi Feng had already read the Blood Forging Champion's blade trajectory. When the Blood Forging Champion was preparing to attack, Shi Feng had already started to dodge. If he waited until the Blood Forging Champion's blade had already been swung before dodging, it would be impossible to dodge with his current attributes, and even resisting would be difficult.

After dodging the first blade, Shi Feng didn't immediately counterattack, but instead leaned his body suddenly.

Whoosh!

A silver glow passed over Shi Feng's head again.

Only after Shi Feng dodged five blades in a row did he hit the Blood Forging Champion's side abdomen with a sword, dealing 2174 points of critical damage, causing it to retreat a small half step, but it had no effect on the Blood Forging Champion.

But Shi Feng was already very happy.

Before, when dealing with the Blood Forging Champion, he didn't even have the power to resist. Now that he could deal damage, it was only a matter of time before he wore down the Blood Forging Champion's 240,000 HP.
