Chapter 148: Chapter 146: Ways to Increase Trigger Rates! (Super Chapter)

"Alright, alright, I’ll put you down now."

As Tu Hongwu spoke, he waved his hand, and Su Mo appeared beside him.

As soon as Su Mo appeared, Gongsun Mu couldn’t help but curiously gaze at him.

Not long ago, Su Mo’s feat of slaying a Peak of the King stage Tri-Eyed Race was something he had witnessed firsthand.

A level 40 being able to kill someone at the Peak of the King stage would be hard to believe if told.

It was only now that he understood why Tu Hongwu insisted on taking this student back then.

He couldn’t help but admire Tu Hongwu’s discernment; though Su Mo’s achievements during the high school entrance exams were impressive, compared to now, it was like night and day.

There are many people who can challenge above their level below Gold, especially those with awakened powerful abilities, where such challenges become easier.

But to still challenge above one’s level after reaching the Gold level is something incredibly rare.

After all, defeating a level 50 opponent while being level 10 isn’t the same as challenging a level 90 opponent while being level 40.

Although Su Mo’s ability to fight level 50 opponents at level 10 was terrifying, it’s nothing compared to his recent achievements. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

After all, a Silver tier might be common on Earth, but in the universe, they are countless.

Reaching the King level, in any race, would count as a pillar of the race, or even the strongest in some weaker races.

In other words, Su Mo already possessed the power to wipe out a race single-handedly.

Especially after hearing that Tu Hongwu claimed his student hadn’t used his full strength yet, they thought he was just bragging.

But when they saw Su Mo crashing into the Guardian Barrier, they finally believed it.

"Senior Gongsun Mu? Senior Gongsun Mu?"

"Old Gongsun, what on earth are you doing?"

Their calls finally pulled Gongsun Mu out of his inner thoughts.

Looking at the talented young man in front of him who would undoubtedly become a War God in the future, Gongsun Mu smacked his lips and said, "Truly a hero among the young!"

Although Su Mo didn’t understand why Gongsun Mu suddenly praised him, he modestly replied, "Senior Gongsun, you overpraise me."

Tu Hongwu beckoned Su Mo over, "Alright, alright, don’t mind this old fool. Why aren’t you grinding monsters today? Why did you come here?"

"Uh, I’ve reached level 40 now, and my experience is already at 1000%. I’ve come mainly to ask when my weapon will be ready, Master."

Tu Hongwu stroked his blood-red beard, nodded satisfactorily, and said, "Your weapon will take some more time. After all, your requirements are quite high, and forging it is somewhat challenging.

To be blunt, if you weren’t my student, anyone who dared demand such a weapon from me would get a smack right away,

but there’s no helping it, you are my student after all."

Seeing Su Mo standing silently, Tu Hongwu patted his shoulder to reassure him, "Don’t worry, it won’t take much longer, at most ten to fifteen days. I know you want to go to the Alien Race Battlefield, but a short wait won’t matter."

"Okay, Master, I understand."

"Good, knowing is well. If there’s nothing else, keep grinding monsters. Increase your experience to over 4000%, so you’ll reach the peak of the Silver Tier when you advance."

Hearing this, Su Mo hesitated for a moment before asking, "Master, do you know of any dungeons or items that can unlock the Luck attribute?"

However, upon hearing this, Tu Hongwu’s blood-red eyebrows furrowed deeply, and his scarlet eyes stared intensely at Su Mo. It took a while before he finally spoke, "Why do you want to know?"

Seeing his Master’s reaction, Su Mo immediately felt something was off and quickly asked:

"I have a skill with a very low trigger rate, so I’m wondering if there’s a way to unlock a Luck attribute to increase the trigger chance. Master, is there something wrong with the Luck attribute?"

"Low trigger rate? Then use skills that increase the trigger rate, or practice more to level up the skill. You can increase the trigger chance that way. What’s the skill called, and what’s its ability? Tell me, and I’ll see if I can find a skill that pairs with it."

"True Damage."

Tu Hongwu furrowed his brow, paused in silence, then turned to Gongsun Mu, "Old Gongsun, take out a few thousand tons of Refined Divine Iron from your stock."

Upon hearing Tu Hongwu’s words, Gongsun Mu turned but, realizing the meaning, snapped angrily, "A few thousand tons? You think of it as food? There’s none, not even a few grams!"

"Who are you guarding against with that look? Am I going to eat it? Besides, this time, I genuinely don’t want it for myself; it’s for my student to practice.

You know he’ll soon be heading to the Alien Race Battlefield. Regular opponents aren’t enough for him; if I spar with him, it feels like bullying,

so why not give him some iron to hammer and exhaust his energy, don’t you think?"

Listening to Tu Hongwu, Gongsun Mu replied skeptically, "You’re not going to use your student as an excuse to pocket some secretly, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Tu Hongwu’s face immediately turned stern, "Do you hear what you’re saying? We’ve worked together for so long, and you trust others but not me? Am I that kind of person?"

However, Gongsun Mu merely cast a sidelong glance at him, then continued hammering his weapon with the enormous forging hammer.

"Come on, Old Gongsun, don’t be like this. I said I don’t want your materials; it’s just for him to practice and hone his skills. Why don’t you believe me?

Besides, your classic divine iron gets more valuable the more it’s hammered. Giving it to him could even mean a free worker for you, don’t you agree?"

Finally, Gongsun Mu raised his head slowly, "Why can’t you use yours instead of mine, huh? Don’t you have any?"

Tu Hongwu shrugged, "My student’s weapon already depleted my stock. Where else would I get Refined Divine Iron?"

"Alright, alright, I’ll trust you one more time, but there’s no more, just 1000 tons."

When Gongsun Mu finally relented, Tu Hongwu still displayed dissatisfaction, "1000 tons! That’s not even enough to fill the gaps between teeth; the eyes might miss it altogether! What are you bringing it for, what a shame!"

"Then look elsewhere; there’s none left. None is none!"

But at this moment, Tu Hongwu walked to Gongsun Mu and put an arm around his shoulder, leading him away, whispering something that Su Mo couldn’t quite catch.

After a while, when they returned, both faces were full of smiles. Tu Hongwu finally approached Su Mo, patted his shoulder, and said, "Come on, let’s see just how low the trigger rate of your skill is."

Following Tu Hongwu, they reached a basement entirely made of some unknown metal, exuding a sense of sturdiness just by its appearance.

"This is Old Gongsun’s usual place for forging. Its shock-absorbing capability is the strongest in all of Great Xia. Of course, if you directly use the skill to attack, it might not withstand it, but mere shock absorption is no proble.

Then he led Su Mo to the center and activated an array, "Use your skill here to minimize damage to the surroundings. Alright, your only task now is to destroy this piece of iron."

With that, Tu Hongwu retrieved a football-sized, irregular chunk of iron from his spatial storage.

As soon as the iron hit the ground, the entire basement started trembling violently.

"Don’t let its size fool you; this lump was condensed from a star. Even after removing all impurities, it still weighs a full 3000 tons. Alright, begin."

With those words, Tu Hongwu stepped aside, calmly watching, genuinely curious about the result when True Damage triggers.

Knowing the terror of Su Mo’s skill, he specifically found this piece of iron; otherwise, he considered testing Su Mo’s skill personally.
