Attack, defense, control, all skills are now available, only a movement skill is missing.
Wind Riding
Consumes 5000 mana, allows walking on wind, consumes 500 mana per second. Cooldown: 60s
This should be enough.
Su Fan still has 11 Martial Essence Stones, enough to enhance five Level 1 skills and three Level 2 skills.
Wind Riding and Mana Shield can be left unenhanced for now, as the improvement would be minimal.
The main focus is on the other three combat skills.
The control skills are also sufficient, namely Five Elements Sorcery and Fire Meteor.
Su Fan decides to first enhance Five Elements Sorcery to max level, Fire Meteor to Level 2, and then enhance the Qiankun Ring.
Firstly, Fire Meteor is powerful enough, but its cooldown is long. Five Elements Sorcery has a short cooldown, and after equipment attribute reductions, the cooldown is only 3 seconds, possibly even shorter after enhancement.
It's convenient as an opening skill.
Su Fan enhances them all in one go.
Five Elements Sorcery Max
Consumes 600 mana, casts elemental spells, dealing 150% spell damage, with selectable attributes. Cooldown: 3s
The damage has increased, consumption has decreased, and most importantly, the cooldown has been reduced. With equipment cooldown reduction, the cooldown is less than two seconds.
Dealing nearly 100,000 damage per second, Su Fan is now practically a mobile turret!
Fire Meteor++
Summons a meteor dealing spell damage in a 20*20 area. Mana cost 4000, each increase in cost by 400 mana increases the range by 1 and spell damage by 5%. Cooldown: 25 minutes
Now, if Su Fan expends all his mana to cast Fire Meteor, the damage increase will be an astonishing 1285%, over twelve times the spell damage, capable of dealing nearly a million area damage.
Although the damage ceiling is not as high as before, this is area damage!
Qiankun Ring+
Consumes 4500 mana, releases multiple Qiankun Rings to restrain enemies, making them unable to move. Consumes 1700 mana per second. For each additional target, the consumption doubles. Cooldown: 25 minutes
The Qiankun Ring has also been slightly improved, which is decent.
Su Fan moves his feet and casts Wind Riding, flying directly into the air.
Now Su Fan can fly in both the game world and reality.
"What are you doing? Holy crap! How can you fly!"
Xiao Yan, who rarely visits Su Fan, is startled when he enters and sees Su Fan floating in the air.
Su Fan descends from the sky.
"Why are you here?"
Su Fan asks curiously.
"No rush, first tell me how you can fly? What's up? Have you achieved immortality?"
Xiao Yan is still in shock. He's known Su Fan for a long time and never knew he was into cultivation. Such a good thing and he didn't even bring me along!
"Well, actually I'm a sorcerer, that was just a small trick I used."
Su Fan no longer hides it and directly admits his identity as a sorcerer.
In this world, cultivators who practice sorcery are called sorcerers, a higher existence.
They are rarely seen, mostly residing in secluded sects.
Xiao Yan is not unfamiliar with sorcerers, having been to the Moon Worship Villa. There are some sorcerers in the Moon Worship Villa, but few have achieved great success. There are only a handful of them in the entire Moon Worship Villa.
"You can fly!"
Xiao Yan is immediately surprised.
Sorcerers who can fly are all signs of successful cultivation. For example, the Four Eccentrics, they have some means of flight.
And the Four Eccentrics are not even considered top experts among sorcerers.
"Yeah, so when will you take me to the top floor of the Imperial Library?"
Su Fan has long yearned for the top floor of the Imperial Library. That's where the dreams of sorcerers lie, containing even world-ending sorceries.
"Forget it, I can't even get up there."
Xiao Yan waves his hand, making Su Fan dismiss the idea.
"Even as the Crown Prince, you can't go up?"
Su Fan is a bit surprised. He thought anyone from the royal family could access the top floor, but it seems not.
"Currently, only two people have the authority to enter the top floor: my father, and a master from our Heavenly Dragon Dynasty."
Xiao Yan explains to Su Fan.
"Hmm? What master is so powerful?"
Su Fan is a bit confused. Does the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty have such a master?
Anyone who can access the top floor must be an extremely powerful being.
"Don't ask around, be careful not to invite trouble."
Xiao Yan has no intention of telling Su Fan, as this person's identity needs to be kept secret.
"Alright, so why are you here?"
Since Xiao Yan doesn't want to say, Su Fan won't press further.
What Su Fan is genuinely curious about is that the original game plot only went up to the martial arts competition. The later plot was never developed before the game company went bankrupt, and the game naturally shut down. No one knows what happened afterward.
"The martial arts competition is imminent. Many people from the martial arts world have come to Heavenly Dragon City, and there are frequent quarrels and disputes, making Heavenly Dragon City very chaotic right now."
"So?"
Su Fan asks, confused.
What does this have to do with him?
"As the Commander of the Imperial Guard, you have a responsibility to maintain order in Heavenly Dragon City. You can't just hold a nominal position."
Xiao Yan brings up Su Fan's official title.
"Give me a break, my position as Commander is just for show. Don't tell me you don't know, you want me to work for free again, get lost!"
Su Fan knows exactly what Xiao Yan is planning. He wants Su Fan to help deal with those troublemakers.
"Heh heh, it's not for free. One Martial Essence Stone."
Seeing that Su Fan had seen through him, Xiao Yan chuckles awkwardly.
"Five pieces."
Su Fan holds up one hand and says.
"Come on, the last time we investigated a case, it was only two. At most two, I can't do more."
Xiao Yan's Martial Essence Stones are not found lying around. He only has so many, and giving one to Su Fan means one less for himself.
"Deal!"
Su Fan knows when to stop pushing his luck. Two is also good.
"Okay, change into your uniform and go patrol. You'll be responsible for the South District."
Xiao Yan says to Su Fan.
"Hey, where's my Martial Essence Stone?"
Su Fan calls out as Xiao Yan walks away.
"We'll talk after you're done."
Xiao Yan waves his hand at Su Fan without looking back.
Su Fan is speechless. Can't he get paid first and then work?
Su Fan reluctantly puts on the Imperial Guard uniform and heads out with his saber.
Xiao Yan is quite considerate of Su Fan, assigning him to the South District.
This is likely because the Peace Inn is located in the South District, allowing Su Fan to conveniently look after it.
With so many outsiders from the martial arts world, all the major inns in Heavenly Dragon City are already full, including the Peace Inn. More people mean more potential for trouble. Although Cheng Yaoyin and the others are skilled, the participants in the martial arts competition are also top experts. They might not be able to handle everything. Su Fan can provide some assistance during his patrol.
