Chapter 297: A Gap Beyond Imagination

On the desolate land, the man in black clothes and the black knife took steps, and the evil spirit became heavier, even to the extent of distorting reality.

In Lu Li's eyes, the opponent in front of him had turned into an indescribable distorted creature, like the ultimate fear that could not be looked at directly.

He tightly grasped the prisoner, sweat on his forehead could not stop flowing, and stepped forward to attack before he was overwhelmed by the tidal pressure.

Facing boundless pressure, he charged like a fish swimming upstream.

At this moment, his opponent took action.

Due to the heavy evil spirit torrent, Lu Li could no longer see the figure clearly, but at this moment he clearly felt that the other party had drawn his sword.

But the other party was clearly still a long distance away from him. In Lu Li's distorted perception, they were at least hundreds of meters apart. The speed of the man in black clothes and the black knife's sword was not fast, but he carried an infinite momentum, as if he could shatter the heavens.

The dark blade slashed out, or it seemed to be gently slicing through the void, an invisible force extended, revealing a wonderful artistic conception.

For a moment, Lu Li was stunned, or locked by the invisible force, unable to move at all, he just obsessed with feeling the invisible trajectory.

As his consciousness gradually faded, he saw the man in the distance had turned around and disappeared in the endless torrent of evil spirits.

"Hu——"

Lu Li gasped violently, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in an ordinary training ground.

After relaxing a little, he sat on the ground and gasped, as if he wanted to inhale all the air he couldn't breathe before into his lungs.

Sweat came out of his body in large quantities, as if he had experienced a battle that exhausted him. Even though it was over, his body was still trembling slightly.

It was not because of the fear brought by the mysterious man. What he had in his eyes at this time was only extreme excitement, and he wanted to replay the scene of the other party killing him just now in his mind thousands of times.

Is this the ultimate of martial arts? Who is that person? Is he a strong man in the space? Or a projection pulled by the End Space from the heavens?

According to the rules described by the End Space, the basic attributes of himself and the projection are exactly the same, but Lu Li feels that attributes are meaningless in front of the other party. Even if the attributes are the same as his own, the other party seems to be able to cut through the sky.

The invisible intention to kill himself is extremely mysterious in Lu Li's view. It is something beyond the basic numerical concept. It is the legendary martial arts skills he has been pursuing and longing for.

"I really want to try it again..."

Lu Li is not a masochist, but now he understands why this item is marked by the End Space to let him stay away, and his heart will be broken if he encounters it.

In fact, he doesn't think his heart will be broken, but he does realize the gap, which is so big that he can't understand it.

To be honest, although Lu Li is in the 'End of Martial Arts Era' and lives in a world view called cyberpunk by most people in the space, he thinks that his martial arts talent is still good, and he has indeed become the strongest in the field of martial arts in that era.

He had imagined the gap between himself and the martial arts masters described in the ancient stories, but to be honest, everything he saw in the ultimate training ground today was beyond his poor imagination.

Lost!

This was his first thought now.

It was not that he felt that he lost money by exchanging four S-level honor medals for the ultimate experience card, but he felt that he lost money by using this card now.

Because compared with the martial arts master in the projection, he was too weak, so weak that he could not even comprehend the half of the mystery of the opponent's moves, and he simply consumed this experience card like a cow chewing a peony.

However, since it was all used, Lu Li would not be too entangled in his heart. He could only think of ways to recall the process of his "fight" with the mysterious man and try to learn some martial arts experience and skills.

After a short rest, Lu Li stood up and kept looking for the previous feeling in the training ground, trying to review it.

…………

In the equipment enhancement hall, people came and went, and many people cast strange eyes on an area.

"What's wrong with this guy? Why is he sleeping here?"

"There are many metaphysical methods these days, but this is the first time I've seen this method..."

"He seems to be a bit mentally unstable. If you meet him in the mission world in the future, it's better to stay away from him."

"..."

People passing by would complain, mainly because the person who was strengthening the equipment over there looked really weird.

He actually took out a bed in the public area and sat on it to operate the strengthening machine in front of him.

Well... this person is naturally Lu Li.

Because his Demon Prisoner and Soul Eater have completed the advancement, the strengthening level has dropped a bit, especially the Soul Eater. Because Lu Li constantly squeezed the Nine-Tailed Fox, and absorbed the chakra of those tailed beasts in the battle in the Rain Country, it has been advanced to the Dark Gold level.

The Soul Eater, which has been continuously advanced, has become the highest quality equipment on Lu Li, one level higher than the Demon Prisoner. If it were not for the growth equipment, Lu Li might not be able to meet the wearing needs of the Soul Eater.

This is the benefit of growth equipment. It will always adapt to the owner's situation. It will not change the usage requirements drastically due to upgrading, causing the owner to be unable to wear it.

Although Lu Li made a big fuss in the Naruto world and raised the world exploration degree to more than 100%, he actually did not kill many strong men, so the growth degree of the prisoner demon did not increase much, and it is still only at the epic level.

Because it has not reached the dark gold level, the prisoner demon's enhancement level has actually not dropped much. It is currently +6. Lu Li wants to spend some money to try and see if he can enhance it back to +8.

[The prisoner's current enhancement level is +6, the enhancement success rate is 59.7%, and 4,000 final coins are required. Do you want to enhance it? 】

Epic-level equipment enhancements will be more expensive than legendary-level equipment. After the enhancement is +5, a little more fee will be charged. Lu Li had already expected it, but he just sold the original enhancement stones today and still has some left on hand. With more than 400,000 final coins, he is confident enough to bring the prisoner demon back to its peak.

"strengthen!"

Lu Li sat on the bed, not paying attention to anyone else's gaze. Ou Huang's path did not need to be explained to others.

[Enhancing failed, the prisoner's enhancement level dropped to +5. 】

The smile on Lu Li's face gradually disappeared. He looked down at his temporary three-point lucky attribute, feeling a little dissatisfied.

Can't you move these enhanced machines to my house for use?

Lu Li sighed in his heart, knowing that this was impossible. All he could do was sit on the bed in the equipment strengthening hall and strengthen the equipment.

It's just a small failure, it doesn't matter, he believes that there will be continuous success in the future.

[The prisoner's current enhancement level is +5, the enhancement success rate is 69.3%, and 4,000 final coins are required. Do you want to enhance it? 】

"continue."

Lu Li looked calm. He didn't believe that he would kneel down.

[Enhancement failed, the prisoner's enhancement level dropped to +4]

"grass!"

Lu Li couldn't hold himself any longer, and he heard snickering coming from behind him.

"Hahaha... There is a fool sitting on the bed to strengthen, and he has been defeated in a row."

Lu Li's anger surged when he heard the explorer's taunts. He slapped the reinforced bronze cauldron in front of his face and said, "Finally, continue."

[The prisoner's current enhancement level is +4, the enhancement success rate is 75.6%, and it requires 3000 final coins. Do you want to strengthen it? 】

"Strengthen, keep strengthening until I tell you to stop!"

Lu Li was a little annoyed. He didn't believe that he could continue to kneel.

As a result, the first beep sounded after a while, making him look gloomy.

[Enhancement failed, the prisoner's enhancement level dropped to +3]

At this time, Lu Li seriously doubted whether his temporary luck was working. How could he kneel three times in a row? The more he strengthened, the weaker he became.

Just when he was so angry that he wanted to smash the machine, the sound from behind made him feel better.

[Strengthening is successful, the Prisoner Demon strengthening level is increased to +4]

[Strengthening is successful, the Prisoner Demon strengthening level is increased to +5]

[Strengthening is successful, the Prisoner Demon strengthening level is increased to +6]

[Strengthening is successful, the Prisoner Demon strengthening level is increased to +7]

Four consecutive beeps reached Lu Li's ears, making the smile reappear on his face. It can only be said that strengthening the equipment was really exciting, making his heart feel like a roller coaster.

[Enhancement failed, the prisoner’s enhancement level dropped to +6]

Just when he was happy, he heard the bad news again. The level dropped back to +6 again, but Lu Li didn't stop. This was just his initial starting point. He was going for the +8 special effect.

[Enhancement failed, the prisoner's enhancement level dropped to +7]

[Enhancement failed, Prisoner Demon’s enhancement level dropped to +8. Congratulations to the pioneer, Prisoner Demon has awakened new enhanced special effects! 】

Lu Li listened to Zhongyan's announcement sound, which was like a low-quality mobile game, and he didn't care to complain. He quickly stopped and stopped strengthening, for fear that he would be thrown back if he failed again.

He spent a total of 34,000 Endgame coins on this wave of enhancements, which was not unacceptable. Overall, he felt that his luck was pretty good. He only spent tens of thousands of Endgame coins to get a +8 special effect, which was still worth it.

After Lu Li took out the Prisoner Demon, he checked the effect of strengthening his epic-level main weapon.

Comment: The devil is imprisoned in your heart.

It can only be said that you get what you pay for. When Lu Li was in the legendary quality of the Prisoner Demon, he also strengthened the Prisoner Demon to +8. At that time, the Prisoner Demon had a characteristic called bullying, which was similar to the effect of Harvest, but obviously weaker than Harvest.

After all, Harvest not only has the effect of inflicting real damage on low-health enemies, but also has a powerful killing effect. When the endgame is reached, the triggering of this effect will directly allow him to win.

As a result, the prisoner demon was promoted from legend to epic level. In addition to the improvement in basic attributes after the initial solution, the temporary increase in nerve reflex speed was also greatly improved. This was one of the reasons why Lu Li later fought more smoothly in the Thunder Chakra mode. .

The improvement in basic sharpness and tenacity after the initial solution can allow the prisoner demon, who was originally the main weapon's basic value not to be a super model, to reach the top level. In the previous battle with Luo Sheng, my prisoner demon definitely did not have Luo Sheng's strength. The original giant sword was thick, but during the actual collision, both sides were equally tough, and it was not broken even after being blasted by them wildly.

Mosha's skill is still as violent as ever. After increasing the basic damage, the continuous damage suffered by the enemy slashed by him within ten seconds will be higher than the damage caused by his initial sword, which is a full 400%. sustained damage.

The Demon Drinking skill has undergone major changes. The original overflowing soul source will dissipate, but now it can be converted into magic damage. It can be regarded as a disguised gain. From this change, Lu Li sees the future expectations of this skill.

Maybe one day, when the prisoner demon becomes stronger, or he can perform swastika, the soul source overflowed by the prisoner demon's magic drink skill will be converted into real damage.

Lu Li was very satisfied with the epic level +8 Demon Prisoner state. He looked at the success probability of strengthening it later and gave up the idea of ​​gambling.

Although he only spent tens of thousands of final Yan coins to strengthen the prisoner demon to +8, but that was the situation where he was basically +6. He had gone through a lot of twists and turns. If he continued to advance, he would not be able to survive. You will definitely lose all your money.

Lu Li put away the Prisoner Demon, and then took out the Dark Gold Level Soul Eater. He still had plenty of funds on hand and wanted to strengthen the Soul Eater to +8.
