**[Sword Draw] (Unique Skill, Lv12)**
**[Grade: E-grade] (Upgradeable)**
**[Skill Effect: When drawing the sword, release a sword shadow that deals (150% attack power + 99) true damage, ignoring defense, to a single enemy within attack range; also increases own attack power by 10% for 10 seconds]**
**[Cooldown: 60 seconds]**
**[Skill Cost: 51]**
**[Proficiency: 0/1000] (Gain 1 proficiency point each time the Sword Draw skill is used; max proficiency allows upgrade to D-grade)**
The skill itself doesn't improve much.
But for Lu Ming, who possesses the Comprehensive Amplification talent, it's a game-changer!
"After twentyfold enhancement, the skill damage increases from 20 times attack power to 30 times."
"Moreover, the new effect of increasing attack power by 10% can be enhanced to 200%, lasting 200 seconds, perfectly covering the 60-second skill cooldown. This means as long as I use Sword Draw once every 200 seconds, I can continuously benefit from this attack boost!"
Looking at the Sword Draw upgraded from F-grade to E-grade, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel excited.
A ten-star talent combined with a unique skill is simply earth-shattering!
However, the difficulty of upgrading the skill next time has increased tenfold compared to before!
Of course, such a high upgrade difficulty matches the prestige of such an extraordinary skill.
Very reasonable.
Thus, with the upgrade of the [Sword Draw] skill, Lu Ming's damage skyrocketed.
Swish!
Sword Draw—
-6222!
With damage exceeding half of what it was before, he instantly killed a level 15 undead knight in front of him.
Triggered the Sword Draw skill effect.
**[Ding~ Attack power increased by 200%, lasting 200 seconds!]**
As Lu Ming's attack power surged from 108 to 324 points.
The Undead Legion's destructive power became even more terrifying!
Because War Tread mainly enhances the undead warriors based on Lu Ming's attack power.
At this moment, the attack power of all undead warriors instantly surged from 1672 to 2501 points!
This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.
Even when facing the highest-level level 15 undead monsters at the Night Watchman Camp in the first plane of the Nether Ghost Tower, they could easily be killed in one hit!
Under such extreme damage, the Undead Legion left no grass where it passed!
Two hundred and forty undead warriors swept the entire map!
And as the Sword Draw skill upgraded from F-grade to E-grade, a beam of golden light fell on Lu Ming, leveling him up to 13!
With the number of undead warriors expanding from 240 to 260.
By consuming 200 soul power, he summoned twenty more tier-2 undead warriors.
Under Lu Ming's mental control, the slaughter continued!
Meanwhile, every time the Sword Draw skill cooled down, Lu Ming would use it again.
Though he didn't need to kill monsters, he needed to farm proficiency for Sword Draw.
"Too bad the subsequent attack power boost effect of Sword Draw can't stack, or it would be even more insane."
Unknowingly, it was already noon.
At this moment, Lu Ming's level had reached 13, 91%, just a step away from level 14.
And Lin Youwei, following behind Lu Ming, even though she could only gain 80% of the monster-killing experience, had astonishingly leveled up from 10 to 12 in just one morning!
In the Sky Abyss world, leveling up isn't easy for players.
For ordinary players, after level 10, with the massive increase in experience needed for each level, leveling up once every two to three days is the norm.
As the saying goes, "Man is iron, rice is steel, one meal missed makes you hungry."
With hunger pangs coming from his stomach, Lu Ming checked the time; it was already noon.
Lu Ming decided to return to the city first, log off for lunch, and continue farming in the afternoon.
So, he mentally recalled the more than two hundred undead warriors scattered around the camp back to the summoning space.
Glancing at Lin Youwei, he said, "Return to the city."
Seeing Lu Ming open the exit portal of the Nether Ghost Tower, Lin Youwei responded with an "Oh" and quickly followed him through the portal.
Exiting the Nether Ghost Tower.
On the way back to Starlight City, Lu Ming took stock of his loot.
Although the Nether Ghost Tower is rich in valuable Soul Stones, it has a downside: the monsters inside don't drop equipment.
Players wanting to farm equipment need to go to other maps.
Therefore, Lu Ming's bag only contained Soul Stones.
He counted them.
Wow!
That's quite a number!
In total, there were 625 Soul Stones in his bag.
Among them, 578 were fifth-grade Soul Stones with 1%-40% purity;
47 were fourth-grade Soul Stones with 41%-70% purity!
Additionally, he had farmed over 4300 copper coins, which, at a 100:1 exchange rate, equaled 43 silver coins!
Having lived frugally for five years in his previous life, Lu Ming habitually calculated.
"At market prices, a fifth-grade Soul Stone is worth 20, and a fourth-grade is 50."
"Plus, with a silver coin priced at 200, this morning alone, I've earned over twenty thousand!"
Lu Ming couldn't help but marvel at how easy it was to make money!
"At this rate, buying a house is just around the corner!"
Soon, they returned to Starlight City.
Lu Ming said to Lin Youwei, "Let's log off for lunch first, meet back before one."
After speaking, Lu Ming was about to log off when he noticed Lin Youwei standing still, not intending to log off.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Lu Ming asked.
Lin Youwei shook her head and said, "I'm not hungry."
Just as she finished speaking, her stomach betrayed her with a growl.
Lin Youwei immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.
Only then did Lu Ming realize she might not even have money for food.
Without hesitation, Lu Ming opened WeChat and transferred two thousand yuan to Lin Youwei.
Lu Ming didn't feel any reluctance.
Because he knew very well that two-thirds of this morning's earnings were thanks to Lin Youwei.
Without her talent [Drop Rate Increase], combined with his Comprehensive Amplification, which brought a 200% drop rate boost.
Lu Ming's earnings this morning would have been reduced to 33%!
Moreover, with her as a lucky charm by his side, Lu Ming could already foresee his future wealth and prosperity!
Lin Youwei was taken aback and quickly said, "Nether brother, I'm already grateful you're helping me level up, I can't take your money!"
As she spoke, Lin Youwei was about to return the transfer.
But Lu Ming said, "Consider it a loan, you can repay it later."
Of course, this was just a pretext; Lu Ming didn't actually intend for Lin Youwei to repay him.
Lu Ming wouldn't tell Lin Youwei that once her account ban is lifted, she would obtain a priceless treasure: the Scroll of Deification;
He also wouldn't tell Lin Youwei how much her seemingly useless one-star talent, Drop Rate Increase, benefited him;
Nor would he tell Lin Youwei how much more money he made with her help.
Because the undead warriors had been silently killing monsters and automatically collecting loot for Lu Ming.
So from Lin Youwei's perspective, she thought that the entire morning, Lu Ming hadn't gained any loot, and this situation of spending money to farm monsters while helping her level up already made Lin Youwei feel guilty.
To make Lin Youwei constantly feel indebted, she would be loyal to Lu Ming, never deceiving or betraying him.
This was a lesson Lu Ming learned at the cost of his life from Ye Ling'er.
Hearing the word "loan," Lin Youwei finally accepted the transfer, but then she transferred 1950 back!
"You gave too much, 50 is enough!"
"Don't worry, Nether brother, I'll definitely repay this money and the five thousand you helped me with before!"
Lu Ming couldn't help but think: Are there really such naive and innocent (silly) girls in this world!
Lu Ming didn't say much more and logged off immediately.
At the same time, Lin Youwei also logged off.
