For example, those few high-ranking fourth-tier players are all quite good.
But after meeting Gane, he changed his mind.
Compared to these geniuses from the capital, Kanriel's seeded players are considerably inferior, and their talents don't seem to have much potential.
Milair, being a lower-tier fourth-order individual, possesses one skill that incorporates divine power, while Eliga and Lalaan, both at the upper-tier fourth order, each only have one. Gallo seems to have had two, but he is already dead.
Although he didn't know the mechanism behind this skill that incorporated divinity, more was definitely better than less. Luo Xiu wasn't worried about his enslaved followers being weak, since he could quickly catch up by allocating his stat points, but they had to have good talent.
After careful consideration, he decided to temporarily reserve the enslavement quota. Unlike in Wheel Town, he was not in a position to enslave a dependent yet, so he could wait and see.
So these 811 points are ultimately used to add attributes.
After making the decision, Luo Xiu's first step was to increase all his attributes to 450 points.
It has been proven that allocating all points equally is the most reasonable way to allocate them. If only one stat reaches 1500 points, and the remaining points are maintained at 400-500 points, Luo Xiu has a premonition that something bad will happen.
A crackling sound rang out inside Luo Xiu's body, indicating that his body was being optimized and refined. For example, his agility was being improved. Luo Xiu could feel certain muscles in his body making subtle adjustments to achieve better use of power and greater speed.
For example, after his mental resistance improved, Luo Xiu could clearly feel his body becoming lighter, his mind becoming much clearer, and he could see the things around him more clearly, as if he could isolate himself from external interference at any time.
After all attributes broke through to 450 points, a change occurred within Luo Xiu's body, similar to when all attributes broke through to 300 points, his mastery of power and magic reached a new level.
This time was no different. Although the breakthrough wasn't as obvious as before, Luo Xiu could still feel that he had improved.
Especially in terms of magic, even without the help of the [Hand of Creation], he might be able to refine a third-tier alchemical potion after returning from the inner city.
After the first round of skill point allocation, Luo Xiu used 285 available points, leaving him with 526 points.
Without hesitation, Luo Xiu used another 426 points, distributing them evenly among Strength and Constitution, leaving only 100 points as a reserve to upgrade [Entrapment] and [Weakness] at any time.
After adding the points, Luo Xiu's stats now look like this:
Name: Luo Xiu
【Strength: 716/1500】
[Agility: 450/1500]
【Physique: 738/1500】
[Magic power: 450/1500]
[Mental Resistance: 450/1500]
[Points available: 100]
This time, Luo Xiu gained a lot of points in strength and physique, but his physique did not change much. Under the appearance of a fourth-tier mushroom monster, he could feel that his real size had only increased by one or two centimeters, and his muscles did not expand too much. Instead, they were more toned than before.
Only the surging power within his body reminded him of the enormous boost this skill point allocation had brought him.
He was confident that if he were to face Gane in person now, he could take him down in a very short time.
Even the methods that Gane is currently employing are unlikely to cause him any harm.
……
It's far to the west along the long, narrow city of Kanriel.
Leila and Tassanya were chatting by the campfire.
Scattered around them were many tents, filled with soldiers of the Knights Order, who were resting at the moment, with only a few soldiers remaining on guard.
They were on their way to the front lines of the Demon Bat Cave.
Leila and Tassanya were supposed to rest too, but Leila couldn't sleep, so Tassanya offered to stay with her.
"Tassanya, go to sleep. I'm used to night watch when I was in Kanriel, it's okay."
Leila hugged her knees and whispered, the flickering campfire casting a rosy glow on her face in the night breeze.
"That won't do, Lady Leila."
Tassanya, sitting cross-legged, yawned, leaned her tall figure closer to Leila, and grinned:
"If you accidentally get into danger, your master will go crazy, so I'll have to keep a close eye on you."
Upon hearing her master's name, Leila's face flashed with obvious worry, and the erect ears on her head twitched slightly.
"I wonder if there will be any danger after Master enters the inner city. I heard from Milair that the water there is very deep."
"She always just exaggerates and scares."
Tassanya waved her hand, ready to give Miler a good scolding, but at this moment, a roar resounded from within her body, and a large amount of power surged within her.
It was as if sweet rain had fallen from the sky on the parched land, and this rain was even growing larger, eventually turning into a torrential downpour that lavishly nourished the land.
Tassanya was taken aback. She looked down and met Leila's gaze, and sure enough, she saw a mixture of surprise and delight in Leila's eyes.
Chapter 175 The Manor Owner's Secret
Leila and Tassanya felt the power surging wildly within them, knowing that their master had already started the killing spree in the inner city.
Moreover, it's hard to imagine how many monsters he killed to achieve such a violent increase in power.
Even when facing the slime army in Wheel Town, the two didn't feel as much of a power boost as they do now.
Was this the slaughter of a medium-sized monster settlement? Both of them were shocked.
"You see, Lady Leila, Master is fine."
Tassanya grinned, overjoyed to know that Luo Xiu was safe.
Leila nodded. In truth, after her initial joy, she was still somewhat worried, concerned that her master might have encountered some danger that led her to use so many points. However, seeing Tassanya's happy expression, she didn't bring up that possibility.
"Let's go to sleep, Tassanya."
Leila stood up, her chestnut-brown hair swaying gently in the cool night breeze, her lips slightly pursed, her gaze resolute:
"Our master is fighting desperately, so we can't slack off either. We need to work even harder after we get to the Demon Cave tomorrow."
"Yes, Lady Leila."
……
Outside Kanriel, inside the Knights' Building.
Milair struggled to lift her head from the mountain of official documents on the table, grabbed a stamp from beside her, and threw it at Rose, who was sitting on the sofa. The girl had been singing ever since she was allowed into the room, and she just wouldn't leave.
Rose was humming a tune as she sat cross-legged on the sofa building blocks. Without even looking up, she caught the stamp that Milair threw at her with her right hand.
Then they raised their hands and cheered:
"Finished!!"
"..."
The veins on Miler's forehead were throbbing. She hadn't expected that the guy she used to get along with the most in the knight order would now become a piece of chewing gum that she couldn't get rid of no matter what she did.
Rose then raised her head and looked at Milair, her eyes sparkling with her usual smile:
"Lord Milair, why are you staring at me like that? You haven't fallen for me, have you?"
Milair showed no mercy, pointing sternly to the door:
"Get lost."
"So fierce!"
Rose's acting exploded; she shrank back, her big eyes blinking:
"You were the one who let them in, and now you want to kick them out? I've already finished my work..."
Miler opened her mouth, about to continue criticizing this guy who was pushing his luck, but suddenly, she froze, like a puppet that hadn't been lubricated.
Rose looked puzzled, wondering why Milair had suddenly stopped moving.
"Lord Milair, Lord Milair?"
She blinked, wondering if this was Milair's new trick to lure her closer.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted from Milair, who was frozen in place. Almost simultaneously, the same terrifying aura rapidly approached from outside the window, as if a god was about to descend upon the building and break through the window.
Rose's eyes widened suddenly; as a noblewoman, she naturally knew what was happening before her.
This is because Milair is about to enter the fourth tier of the upper level, attracting divinity to approach and completing the final absorption.
However, this scene seemed strange to her. Not to mention that Milair had reached the fourth rank at such a young age, the order of her advancement was also quite wrong.
Normally, one attracts divinity first and then gains enhanced abilities. How can one enhance their power first and then forcibly attract divinity?
She had read related books in her family's archives before. This kind of advancement process may have existed in ancient times, when there were many rare materials that could enhance one's abilities, but in this day and age, it's simply unthinkable.
For some reason, she thought of Luo Xiu, the guy who fought four opponents like a god on stage.
She didn't believe that Milair's current change was completely unrelated to Luo Xiu.
She still remembered that day when Miler blurted out "master" to her master. She pressed her for an answer many times afterward, and Miler did not deny it. Her intuition told her that there must be something fishy going on.
My mind raced, and the terrifying atmosphere outside the window grew ever closer.
Looking at Milair in front of her, she finally sighed softly, raised her hand, and a gray-green force field quickly expanded from her palm, encompassing the entire office room.
Where the gray-green color spread, everything seemed to be silenced. Even the obscure and terrifying aura emanating from Milair was weakened and stopped spreading.
Hunter Tier 4 Skill: [Tranquil Land]
……
Luo Xiu clenched his fists, feeling the power within his body surging and almost overflowing. He could now easily smash a wall with a single punch.
He looked at the battlefield, where the battle was nearing its end in the blink of an eye. After drinking the black potion, Gane's strength was too great, far exceeding the ordinary fourth-tier level. He was completely dominating the mushroom monster supervisor and Elijah.
In the sky, the Bloodwing Demon Bat looked utterly wretched. One of its fleshy wings had been nearly severed by the flying wheel magic array, with only a thin layer of skin connecting it to its body. Its entire body was covered in half-meter-long wounds, from which blood gushed out, a horrifying sight to behold.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Gane should win this battle.
"As expected of a genius from the capital," Luo Xiu thought to himself, and began to ponder his next plan.
If Garnet ultimately wins and leaves unscathed, does it mean the casino has no more tricks up its sleeve and can reap the rewards? Or perhaps the casino is wary of the power behind Garnet…
While he was pondering, a sudden change occurred. Just as Gane used the lightning in his hand to pin Elijah to the ground and was preparing to deal with the mushroom monster supervisor in front of him, a huge figure suddenly broke through the ceiling and fell from the sky along with a huge shattered rock, landing in front of Gane and blocking the dark gale that Gane had summoned.
It was a "human" that was tens of meters tall, with its upper body reaching above the ceiling. It had a huge belly, wore a red dress, and through the gaps in the ceiling, one could vaguely see a top hat on its round head. It had a stiff smile on its face, revealing teeth that were arranged neatly like door panels.
He struck hard, knocking the tornado storm summoned by Gane to the side.
