Wu Shaochen quickly opened the skill bar to check and found that after the golden Immortal Body skill, another red skill appeared.
[Shadow Seven Kills]: After casting, transform into a shadow and shuttle around the target, dealing 7 consecutive hits within one second. Each hit increases in damage, starting at 130% physical damage, then 140% for the second hit, 150% for the third hit, and so on. During the skill activation, it cannot be interrupted or attacked. Consumes 200 mana points and has a cooldown of 5 minutes.
"Damn, this skill is awesome, no wonder it was personally taught by the War God," Wu Shaochen exclaimed in excitement. The damage stacking is terrifying, and this skill is essentially invincible for one second. It's perfect for instantly taking down opponents, which is really nice.
While still marveling at it, Wu Shaochen was teleported out.
"Ding, congratulations on successfully completing the challenge. Your realm has been upgraded to Gold Level, granting a total attribute increase of +40 and 40 free attribute points. The [War God Medal] has been upgraded from Silver Level to Gold Level. As the first player to reach Gold Level, the system rewards you with an additional 40 free attribute points."
In an instant, Wu Shaochen felt a tremendous increase in his own strength. The 160 free attribute points were useless, the Tiger King's reward of 40 points was added, and even reaching level 24 with 20 points wasn't enough compared to the 80 points here. These single attribute points were truly abundant.
Glancing at his stats, Wu Shaochen allocated 10 points to Constitution, raising his defense to over a thousand. He then put the remaining 150 points into Agility, now able to stack five layers of passives. He needed to reach five attacks per second as quickly as possible to maximize the advantage of toxins. After allocating attribute points, he looked at the Gold-level War God Medal, which indeed had explosive attributes. All attributes were increased by 40%. Wu Shaochen put it on and once again inspected his own attributes.

Looking at his current attributes, Wu Shaochen felt a surge of pride. Who in the entire Oracle could compare? But suddenly, he remembered that woman, and a chill ran down his spine. "Forget it, let's keep a low profile. The road ahead is still long."
Wu Shaochen waited in the War God Temple for a while, and Wu Ziyin finally came out. As expected, she succeeded in the challenge without any surprises. With her current equipment and talent, that shadowy figure would find it difficult to even die.
"Ziyin, how much magic attack and mana do you have now?" Wu Shaochen asked.
"Magic Attack: 1650, Mana: 4280," Wu Ziyin replied.
Wu Shaochen was taken aback. That's quite high. But considering that Wu Ziyin had three silver items and the rest were bronze, it made sense. After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Check if your talent has changed." Since his own talent could be enhanced by raising his realm, it should be possible for others too.
Wu Ziyin quickly checked and exclaimed, "It has changed! Now, every additional point of mana provides a 0.06 increase in skill effect."
"Just as I thought," Wu Shaochen muttered to himself. If that's the case, almost everyone's talent can be enhanced. With such a large player population, there must be many players with terrifying talents, but they just haven't shown it yet. It seems that he will have to stay low-key in the future.
Wu Shaochen calculated that Wu Ziyin probably hadn't learned any other skills. As a priest, she had two innate skills: Healing Art: Single-target healing with a 120% magic attack bonus, cooldown of 5 seconds, and Group Healing: Group healing with a 60% magic attack bonus, up to five people. With Wu Ziyin's magic attack, Healing Art could restore around 1980 HP, and in critical moments, consuming 4000 mana points, it could restore over 6700 HP. This already provided her with significant endurance ability.
Unfortunately, there are not enough skills. Wu Shaochen thought for a moment and opened the auction house to search for priest skills. Surprisingly, he actually found one: Renewal: "Applies a continuous healing buff to the target, restoring the caster's life by 60% of their magic attack bonus per second for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 20 seconds." The reason this skill hadn't been bought yet was because it was set for gold coin transactions, costing a hefty 200 gold coins, which only a few players possessed.
Wu Shaochen still decided to buy it, as it would enhance Wu Ziyin's strength and provide him with more survival assurance. 200 gold coins may be a lot now, but it wouldn't be much in the long run, and the price of skill books would only increase.
Handing the skill book to Wu Ziyin, Wu Shaochen said, "Learn this skill. I'll take you to level up." Today is Sunday, and tomorrow Wu Ziyin probably has class. It's best to make good use of the time today to level her up. After all, she is his sister, and her level shouldn't lag behind too much.
"Okay, thank you, brother," Wu Ziyin happily accepted the book and clicked on "Learn."
Wu Shaochen searched the map for a while but couldn't find a good leveling spot. The areas marked on the map mostly had monsters below level 20. Apart from the places he had already been to, it wasn't suitable to take Wu Ziyin to the abandoned mine area. Her courage would probably crumble there.
Afterward, Wu Shaochen randomly chose a direction and took Wu Ziyin with him. As they moved farther away, the monster levels gradually increased. He summoned the Silver Direwolf and reluctantly let Wu Ziyin ride on it. The two of them, along with the wolf, swiftly headed towards a forest to the east.
The monsters on the outskirts of this forest were around level 15-25. Many players were already teaming up to level up. With the improvement of equipment, players' strength had also greatly increased. Almost everyone had a set of black iron equipment, and some stronger players even had a few pieces of bronze equipment. It was easy for them to handle ordinary monsters of the same level. Wu Shaochen tried to avoid the crowds as much as possible and headed deeper into the forest. Although he had changed his mask and outfit, so no one should be able to recognize him, Wu Ziyin riding on the Silver Direwolf still stood out.
