Chapter 48: Instant Step

  Everyone knew that tonight, there was a more than 90% chance of an attack, so everyone was on high alert, especially Lin Chen, who was even more vigilant. Not to mention other things, just the fact that the system's task had appeared, protecting the safety of the Mocha elder, meant that there was definitely danger.

  A dozen guards, taking turns resting. As for Lin Chen? He also made an excuse to go to the bathroom and walked into a nearby thicket of trees, where he studied the skill book "Instant Step". At the same time, he had Ares prepare Dragon Blade Wing. If anything went wrong, they would quickly retreat.

  Lin Chen learned Instant Step and looked at its skill introduction, nodding in satisfaction. Instant Step: Instantly burst forth with power, using the explosive force to quickly move within a 5-meter radius, consuming 35 MP, cooldown time 10 seconds, LV 16.

  It's not just that he learned Instant Step, but also looked at the remaining 8 skill points he had left. Lin Chen gritted his teeth and threw 5 skill points into Instant Step, raising its skill level to 6. The 6th-level Instant Step had a greatly enhanced effect.

  Instant Step (Level 6): Instantly burst forth with power, using the explosive force to quickly move within a 20-meter radius, consuming 45 MP, cooldown time 10 seconds, requires level 16.

  In terms of skills, the system in "Tian Xing" has undergone significant changes compared to ordinary games. Although only one skill point can be obtained for every level up, there is no upper limit to the skill level, meaning that as long as you are willing, you can add dozens of skill points to a single skill.

  I remember in "Tianxian", there was a powerful magician, he didn't learn any other skills, but put more than 40 skill points on the fireball technique alone, directly smashing the fireball technique to over 40 levels.

  One Fireball technique, this magician can instantly kill most people in the game. The power of his fireball technique is such that even the Shield Knights of the Blood Bull must be cautious. However, while it may seem very impressive on the surface, being unbeatable in a one-on-one duel, its drawbacks are also quite large.

  Your fireball technique is strong, but the cooldown time for fireballs is 5 seconds. If one fireball can't take down your opponent, then you won't be able to cast any skills for the next 5 seconds, which is a complete tragedy.

  Moreover, the fireball technique that can be used once every five seconds is not feasible for leveling up. Even if you manage to reduce a monster's blood by a large amount with one fireball, the subsequent counterattack from the monster will be difficult to withstand within those five seconds, even with the use of recovery potions, and it's unclear how many would be wasted.

  Of course, the last wizard only chose to fight some lower-level monsters, achieving a kill every time, but it took five seconds to kill one monster, and the level of the monster was very low. The leveling speed can be said to be tortoise-like, and when encountering elite-level monsters, it's even more impossible. As for BOSS, don't even think about it. So, top-notch equipment is almost irrelevant to you...

  Finally, this magical value can only be deleted and replayed. Although some people were inspired by him later, they did not put all their skill points into one skill like him, but instead put them into four or five skills, each of which was upgraded to level 10 or higher. This not only increased the attack power, but also eliminated the embarrassment of being unable to make a move due to cooldown time.

  However, although this can indeed maximize output, it is not suitable for solo practice. Although the speed of killing monsters and leveling up has increased, it is not suitable for PK. With only four or five skills, as soon as someone figures out your moves, they can easily defeat you. Your tactics are too repetitive and easy to counter, making you vulnerable in PK.

  So, although the degree of freedom in skills has become very high, it's not about letting you add whatever you want. How to add your own skill points is something that requires careful consideration.

  However, Lin Chen still upgraded his "Instant Step" skill to level 6, because this skill was too important for him. With a radius of 20 meters, he could move freely within that range, and although the cooldown time didn't decrease, it allowed him to dodge most group attacks.

  "Whoosh!!!", having learned the Instant Step, Lin Chen experimented with it, randomly choosing a location twenty meters away. With the Instant Step activated, Lin Chen only felt his body's energy gathering at his feet before suddenly bursting out and disappearing from view, reappearing twenty meters away in an instant.

  "Not bad! The skill of Instant Step is indeed not bad! Although the cooldown time has reached 10 seconds, but this speed of Instant Step makes Lin Chen very satisfied. This movement speed absolutely exceeds the speed of sound! Although it's just an instant skill, who can stop himself with a movement speed that exceeds the speed of sound?"

  Being able to advance and retreat freely, combined with one's own equipment, if a sneak attack is launched, it is possible to take down even a master or sky-level professional. After all, in this world, as long as you receive a fatal injury, you will immediately die, unlike in games where the flow of blood is calculated according to specific procedures and you won't die until your health bar is empty.

  "Heh heh, with this, I'll have the ability to protect myself...". Lin Chen secretly rejoiced, feeling the power of Instant Step. In the game, Instant Step's skill wasn't considered strong, it was only used for combos, but in the real world, this skill was absolutely heaven-defying when used for surprise attacks.

  "Your skill is so strong! So perverted!", Yatse only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and Lin Chen appeared 20 meters away, his mouth couldn't help but say with shock, such a fierce speed, I believe that even the most agile thief in the world can't compare to it. At least thieves can still see his movement trajectory, but Lin Chen? Just a flash in front of his eyes, and he moved 20 meters.

  "With this, safety is even more guaranteed", Lin Chen smiled and said with satisfaction. With the Instant Step skill combined with his own perfect set of equipment, Lin Chen's combat power soared instantly. Unless the opponent had already used a defensive move to block his attack, relying on Instant Step to launch a surprise attack would definitely yield extraordinary results.

  "Boom!!!", Suddenly, an explosion sounded from a distance, exactly where Mocha Elder and the others were.

  "Bad! The attack is here!", Hearing this voice, Lin Chen immediately reacted and brought Ates to turn around and run over. Running out of the forest, Lin Chen saw that more than 40 strong men had surrounded Moka and the elders.

  "Hiss, three king-level powerhouses, and five sky-level...". Looking at the formation of more than 40 strong practitioners, Lin Chen couldn't help but take a cold breath. Are ninth-grade king-level powerhouses just ordinary vegetables on the side of the road? They actually mobilized three of them at once, how can the Alchemist Guild withstand this?

  "Boom, boom, boom...", facing the strong enemy's attack, all members of the Alchemist Guild directly drank auxiliary potions, tool incentives, defensive power, movement speed and so on were all added, launching a crazy counterattack.

  Although their combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced under the effect of the medicine, the disadvantage in numbers is not so easy to make up for. In the fierce battle, the people of the pharmacist's guild were suppressed and had already begun to suffer casualties.

  "Sir! I can't defeat so many people! And there are three King-level experts! Let's leave quickly!" Looking at the three King-level experts and five Sky-level experts, Atre also felt uneasy in his heart and said quietly.

  "No! We can turn the tide!", although the battle in the arena was indeed being suppressed by the Pharmacists' Guild, Lin Chen shook his head and said, having made up his mind.
