Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense-Chapter 142 - 140: Su Mo’s Frenzied Attribute Farming, Encountering Gold Grade Again! (Super - )
The volcanic eruption and violent shaking of the ground threw the entire world of the Tri-Eyed Race into chaos.
Su Mo felt quite helpless about this.
The best scenario for grinding level and attributes is if all the Tri-Eyed Race gather in one place, allowing him to instantly kill them with a single skill.
That’s what I call truly grinding attributes.
The current situation, where the Tri-Eyed Race is scattered and running wild, forcing him to chase after them one by one, is quite troublesome.
Because his weapon was taken by his master, he was now using the Devouring Void Tiger Head Saber, which has a taunt skill.
Even when he used the taunt skill, Tiger Roar, the panicked Tri-Eyed Race wouldn’t look back at him, instead fleeing in all directions.
He slashed through a Silver Tri-Eyed Race at level 40-something with a single stroke and sighed helplessly as the ground continued to tremble.
"If this goes on, when will I be able to max out my attributes again? Can’t they fight somewhere else?"
Su Mo had considered using area-wide skills, like the upgraded Voice of the Heart.
But this skill is cumbersome to use. With his current attributes, even turning it on for just a second would leave a hundred-meter deep crater in the ground.
Leaving big pits with every step doesn’t compare to the speed of using his saber to cut through, unless he encounters a large group of monsters; climbing in and out of pits would be even more troublesome.
Fortunately, Su Mo’s attributes had all been enhanced. Regular Tri-Eyed Race, not to mention the ordinary Silver level, couldn’t compare to his speed, not even those at the Gold level.
So whenever he spotted a Tri-Eyed Race, regardless of its level, Su Mo would rush up and instantly kill it with a single slash.
Although this method wasn’t the fastest for grinding attributes, it was better than nothing.
He even regretted a little, thinking it might have been better to grind in the outside world if he had known it would be like this.
Grinding dungeons on Earth also required running around, but for an average dungeon, simply activating a skill could destroy it completely.
With at least a hundred or two hundred monsters in a dungeon, outside of finding a dungeon, the rest could be instantly killed upon entering.
Though Su Mo had never experienced a Bronze-level dungeon, with his current attributes, Silver-level dungeons might be hard to destroy, but for Bronze, it should be just as easily defeated as the wooden ones.
However, grinding dungeons outside had a downside, which was the cooldown time; each dungeon had different cooldown times, some requiring 12 hours, others 24 hours, and some higher-level ones even two to three days.
That was a downside as well.
He slashed out again, sending a tri-eyed head flying and gaining 8 free attribute points.
Ever since upgrading the Heart of Slaughter ability, he could gain two assignable free attribute points from killing any small monster.
But killing a Silver-level could earn him 8 assignable free attribute points.
As for Gold-level, truth be told, he hadn’t encountered any yet. Even the first human Gold-level he killed gave quite a lot of assignable free attribute points.
He had earned a total of 320 points, of which 160 were system rewards.
Even omitting this 160-point system reward, the Heart of Slaughter still earned 160 assignable free attributes.
Coming to the Three-Eyed Realm had another advantage: the monsters here had no level restriction, with Gold, Silver, Bronze, and ordinary levels present, sometimes even making Su Mo suspect there might be King-level monsters.
Before obtaining his master’s weapon, the idea of slaying gods was just a thought, but he felt King-level challenges might still be possible.
However, now speaking of his master sitting in this dungeon, whether he’s at the Divine Level is another story.
With one step, covering a kilometer, he swung the Devouring Void Tiger Head Saber again, slicing a Tri-Eyed Race, roughly as tall as Su Mo, in half.
assignable free attribute points were gained.
With his extraordinary speed, Su Mo roamed around the Three-Eyed Realm, raising and lowering the Devouring Void Tiger Head Saber repeatedly, ending the lives of one Tri-Eyed Race after another.
For Su Mo, slaying these merely Silver-level Tri-Eyed Race was a simple task; finding them was the most time-consuming part.
However, the earthquake made all the Tri-Eyed Race flee, allowing Su Mo to locate their figures.
Given the current situation, Su Mo wondered if it was quicker to kill during the chaotic earthquake escape or by using taunt skills to gather and kill them all at once in normal situations.
Relentlessly moving, continuously slaying monsters, while finding them took time, the whole Three-Eyed Realm was swarming with the Tri-Eyed Race.
Thus, Su Mo’s assignable free attribute points continued to accumulate.
The sky gradually darkened. Looking up at the volcano in the distance, which could only barely be outlined, Su Mo thought to himself, it truly is "looking up at a mountain kills a horse".
Initially, he thought of quickly running over to his master to ask about anything that could unlock the Luck attribute.
But given his current speed, it would take at least five days to reach his master.
Although using Flying in the Sky, he could get there in just a few breaths.
Upon further thought, as he was out here to upgrade attributes, he might as well brush through the journey, collecting as much as possible before asking over there.
If there was something to unlock the Luck attribute, his master would naturally give it to him; if not, asking now would be in vain.
The night posed no impact to Su Mo in his current state, and with his current Constitution attribute, he didn’t need rest.
Focused on upgrading his attributes, Su Mo seized every moment, aiming only to become stronger.
Moving forward, without realizing it, the number of monsters in the area decreased. He wondered if they were asleep or if there was another reason.
Su Mo seized the chance to find a stone, take a sip of water, and check his Assignable Free Attribute Points.
[Assignable Free Attribute Points: 21,046]
Su Mo had over 15,000 points left after reaching level 40, and though he had fought monsters all day, he only gained 6,000 more Assignable Free Attribute Points.
Compared to grinding dungeons outside, it was even less efficient.
And much more exhausting!
Previously, he traveled by riding the Golden-winged Heaven-Swallowing Tiger and exited after using Mountain Collapse and Earth Split once inside a dungeon.
Here, he had to chase after and kill the monsters himself, far less efficient than before.
In the midst of his struggles, Su Mo suddenly felt his Spirit being attacked; his eyes brightened immediately.
In this world filled with the Tri-Eyed Race, Spirit attacks were expected, but the surprise was that his Assignable Free Attribute Points didn’t increase after being attacked.
Many from the Tri-Eyed Race didn’t die directly by Su Mo’s hand; they attacked him with Mental Attacks upon sight.
The Silver level attributes could barely compare to Su Mo’s; even if they excelled in the Spirit Attribute.
No matter how proficient they were in the Spirit Attribute, without reaching Gold level, 1,000 points was their peak, even 1,500 would be stretching it to the limit.
Only with a tenfold increase in all attributes at Gold level could they show some true power.
According to the Great Xia, Silver level warriors were at most support on the battlefield, only Gold level could be considered true combatants.
As for Bronze, they had no place, even as support. Although recently, Great Xia allowed them to participate in battle, but only as helpers.
The Golden level, highly regarded and rare, were just ordinary soldiers on the battlefield; only Kings could be the mainstays, with Demigods being true powerhouses!
Great Xia, possessing such strength, had carved out a vast territory in the cosmos.
The reason for Su Mo’s joy upon being attacked was simple: his attacker was at Gold level!
Normal Silver level members attacking him mentally would die from the backlash of his ten thousand-point Spirit attribute; only Golds could attack without instant death.
The fact that Su Mo felt the attack indicated that the opponent was not weak!
His first Gold level kill was by chance; now, he could truly test its mettle!
With this thought, Su Mo gulped the water and fiercely flung the bottle to the ground, grabbing the Devouring Void Tiger Head Saber and charging forward.
Covering kilometers in strides, Su Mo saw the Tri-Eyed one, about the size of a normal adult male, ahead.
Seeing Su Mo approach, the Tri-Eyed’s face changed, and it vanished instantly, reappearing over a kilometer away.
Su Mo licked his lips and chuckled lightly: "Heh! As expected of Gold level, even the Speed is impressive, almost catching up to mine!"
If anyone were beside Su Mo to hear this, they’d likely critique his humblebragging.
Look at what you’re saying, what do you mean by Gold level almost catching up to your speed?
Note that you’re only a Bronze level!
"Hey little thing, don’t run. Let’s have a fair duel. If I use a skill, may heaven strike me, dare to fight?"
