Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

At dusk, Black Rock Mountain, bathed in moonlight, gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen.

A slender and upright figure appeared at the entrance of the Black Rock Mine.

Looking at the dark, deep entrance before her, which seemed to lead to hell, the Azure Silver Sword Maiden frowned slightly.

She rushed here as fast as she could, spending most of the day, and finally arrived at this place.

"An underground monster cave that originated from a goblin quasi-lord?"

"Bronze-tier monsters, coupled with a massive goblin horde, certainly qualify them to sweep away all the dark, mutated monsters on the outskirts of Silvermoon Forest..."

But for some reason, Sylvia always felt that something was still wrong.

After thinking carefully for a moment and making sure she hadn't missed anything, she took a step forward, letting her body be swallowed up little by little by the darkness of the cave.

……

Inside a large cave.

Leo looked at the panel in front of him.

As his strength increases, the skill experience gained from killing elite goblins becomes increasingly lower, averaging only around 200 per goblin.

However, the Goblin General, as the leader, was far stronger than Leo, so after the battle, Leo gained a high amount of skill experience of 2000 points.

Leo was not surprised by this.

The acquisition of skill experience is not simply "dropped by monsters". In essence, it is the gains from life-and-death experiences that lead to skill improvement.

Therefore, the greater the gap in strength between the two sides, the greater the gains will naturally be.

With a thought, Leo reverted the "Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique" to "lv.3 (760/2000)," while the rest transformed into primordial power.

A total of 4530 skill experience points. (Breathing technique experience is converted into general skill experience, which will be doubled.)

Of these, 1510 points were allocated to [Shield Counter], and the remaining 3020 points were allocated to [Bull Breathing Technique].

Just right, it raises both skills to "Mastery" level 5.

-

[Shield Counter lv.5]: One of the core defensive techniques of the Shield Guardian. At the very moment when an enemy's attack is about to hit you, swing your shield at an extremely precise angle and timing to forcibly deflect the enemy's attack trajectory. Masters of this skill can even use the enemy's force to put themselves into a stun state.

Skill effect: Accuracy +1, Strength bonus +1

Mastery Bonus: Stamina +1; When a successful "Shield Parry" is executed, the enemy's "stun" duration is increased by 50%.

Current experience: 0/1600

-

【Bull Breathing Technique lv.5】: A breathing technique that focuses on bursts of physical strength. The class spirit that can be summoned is 【Shield Guardian】. By squeezing out one's own energy, the five attributes are simultaneously improved, among which the improvement of physical strength is particularly prominent.

技能效果：开启后，精力消耗提升300%，同时，力量+1、体力+2、敏捷+1、精神+1、感知+1

Mastery effect: When standing on the ground, Stamina is increased by 2, and the rate of Stamina consumption is further reduced by 200%.

Current experience: 0/1600

-

After reading the descriptions of the two Shield Guard level 5 skills, Leo was somewhat surprised.

The mastery effect of [Shield Counter] is different from other skills. It no longer adds two basic attributes, but instead adds one attribute and one special skill effect.

At the same time, the "Bull Breathing Technique" was also the first breathing technique that Leo mastered to the point of proficiency.

"The effect of mastering a breathing technique is like further enhancing the strengths of that technique, and the enhancement is quite significant."

"Once you master the Bull Breathing Technique, activating it only requires an additional 100% stamina, and the endurance is extremely long. You can easily last for half an hour to an hour."

"No wonder that back then, when my base attributes were not high, I instinctively felt danger when I wanted to raise my breathing technique to the mastery level."

Leo gathered his thoughts.

Currently, all of his basic attributes have reached 10 points. If he does not activate the [Warrior's Mark] to gain perception and utilize the power of ether, it will be almost impossible for his basic attributes to improve further.

Currently, only true attribute points can forcibly break through this limit.

Furthermore, even if the Bull Breathing Technique has been mastered, in terms of the short-term increase in combat power, it is still not as good as the level 3 Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique.

-

[Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique lv.3]: ...

技能效果一·猎杀之狼：开启后，精力消耗提升400%，同时，力量+1.5、体力+1.5、敏捷+3、精神+1.5、感知+3

Skill Effect 2 - Deadly Wolf: When activated, there is a 3% chance to discover the enemy's "weakness" in battle. Hitting the weakness will deal critical damage that ignores defense.

Skill Effect 3 - Plundering Wolf: By hunting dragon beasts, you can gain free attribute points...

-

It can only be said that the value of the legendary breathing technique is still increasing!

With everything ready, Leo no longer hesitated.

He sat down on the ground, then closed his eyes and began to practice the Bull Breathing Technique.

Similar to his previous experience as a [warrior], he felt his consciousness being drawn up into the unknown sky.

When his vision returned to normal, he once again arrived in the "Ether Realm".

At the edge of the horizon, the enormous shield spirit, perched deep within the Ether Realm, slowly lowered its eyes.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds...

Unlike the Warrior class spirit of the past, which would rapidly and procedurally bestow its class mark, the Shield Guard class spirit before Leo felt as if it had encountered some intractable situation, and the program had stalled.

This situation made Leo feel uneasy.

Will my "freeloading" behavior be discovered?

Just to be on the safe side, before he took up his post, he even converted the skill "Black Iron Body" into primordial power and stored it away.

Could it be that the skills that appear grayed out and unusable on the panel still have some residual traces?

The professional spirits of this ethereal realm have such strong "search" abilities?

Leo originally thought that the Primordial Mirror's ability to "conceal" was flawless.

Do not!

It's not necessarily that the problem lies with the concealment by the Primordial Mirror.

The problem must lie with him.

He had been to the Ether Realm and left "traces".

"I overlooked this point before..." Leo gritted his teeth slightly.

Another ten seconds or so passed, and as if a program that had been stuck had found a new operating mechanism, a stream of light flew out from the Shield Guardian's spirit body and entered Leo's body.

"It's a success!"

Upon seeing this, Leo was overjoyed, but the next moment, he was brought back to reality.
