Re: Evolution Online-Chapter 1294 Training

The horrid smell aside, the last floor left everyone with wide smiles. It had been a true test of their will to endure the torture but the results were equally impressive. Rey, Madan and Lan Deming had gained the most among everyone as their start was very bad. Each of them had gained a whopping 50 stats distributed in various attributes which was equivalent to almost gaining 20 free levels.

In the grand scheme of things this might not seem like much but every single boost keeps adding up and eventually becomes a huge tidal wave that cannot be ignored.

Besides, that was not the only thing that the clay did. Rey, Madan and Lan Deming could all feel their mana flow inside their body now smoother and faster. It was as if their mana pathways had been widened and stabilized.

It was not just them. The elf also noticed some difference.

Eldrin was from a B-Ranked world originally and even though the resources had been monopolized by the eight Empires, the elf still had plenty of opportunities pop up in his path. Heck, even just being born as a citizen of such a world where generations of elves had gone through the baptism of being born in a high-grade world was enough to give him superior stats.

But he still experienced benefits from the stinky mud, both qualitatively and quantitatively.

And lastly, there was Liam. Since he was already at some sort of cap for attributes, he hadn't expected much to begin with. However, the results were anything but expected.

Liam did not know what exactly changed but something like a dam should have broken down in his body. This was because he received a whole boatload of stats. And not in the two digits like the others.

Liam had received a whopping of 500 stat points overall! This was almost 150 levels worth of extra stat points even calculated very liberally!

However, his progress couldn't be compared with the others since he had a feeling that his extra boost was not just from using the clay. If Liam had to guess, he would place bets on the system releasing his previously acquired stat points from his dao seeds as soon as the bottleneck his physical body suffered from was pushed forward a little.

This further confirmed one more thing. If Liam did not find more ways to improve his basic body constitution, then he was going to lose out on a lot of stat points. There was no use of his soul and his mind being strong, if his body was not simply strong enough to handle the power.

Liam decided to make some changes to his climbing pattern. While he was blasting through the floors until now, he decided to slow down his pace just a little.

If the puddle of magic mud on the previous floor taught him anything, it was that there could be precious materials on these floors, materials that could significantly affect him.

Until now he did not find anything noteworthy so he only did a customary sweep with his minions but now he was going to put a little more effort into it.

Also, this would be a chance for Rey, Madan and Lan Deming to undergo some training. If he continued to blast through the floors of the Spire soon the next watershed level would appear. Considering how they had all barely scraped by the previous one, their chances of passing the second one successfully wasn't all that high.

Liam did not want to be negative but at the same time, he had to look at it in a practical manner. Sure, they were clumped together for a couple of floors but this segment of the Spire might realistically be the last one the group experienced. It would be best to make this one count. If they went home after taking the second segment reward too, then that would be the best outcome he could hope for.

Liam looked around the lush forest. In the distance, one of his minions had already spotted the monster whom they had to defeat. However, he did not act on it just yet.

"We will be here for an hour. You guys should use this opportunity to train with Luna and Eldrin." He announced to the group. "There are some beast nests to the right. Approach with caution." Leaving the fox and the elf to stay back as guardians for the group, Liam hurried into the forest in another direction. He also let one of his soul minions stay back just in case they encountered extreme danger and needed his assistance instantly.

With this set up in place, he continued with his work without any worry. He also checked in a couple of times to see how much the group had truly grown and Liam was impressed.

Rey gaining a dao seed was not just a namesake. The very first attack he unleashed was a volley of wind arrows that cut across a giant anteater type beast into multiple shreds, each arrow possessing astounding penetrative power.

And from the looks of it, Madan and Lan Deming were also close to something significant. Lan Deming's attacks also contained a depth that bordered on dao imbibement and Madan's attacks were fast and confident. It looked like everyone had a direction in mind for their progress.

Liam nodded in satisfaction and headed further into the forest. While it was good that his minions were doing a sweep, it was better for him to personally get into the game. He took a direction that he felt would be productive and blasted into the forest, letting his mana sense run amok. The mud that they had encountered was pretty much inert before they used it but many treasures emit a strong energy signature. As an added compass, he had the small legendary beast babies in his pant pockets. The babies performed above expectations almost immediately identifying a few herbs that his minions would have most likely overlooked.
