Sea Riding Lightning Spear Strike: The Lightning Spear summoned will attack a single target with 160% Attack Power, has a 50% chance of paralysis. When there are units around the target who are “paralyzed”, then the Lightning Spear Strike will split and attack again. You can store a Lightning Spear every 20 seconds, you can store at most 6 spears.

The Mystic Skill Book given by the Mermaid Princess was indeed extraordinary. Although there were summoning skills, controlling skills, and skills that dealt damage, the skills were a little too mixed. To a character like Lin Jie with extremely strong attributes beyond imagination, it was an abnormally powerful and all-rounded Mystic Skill Book! Unless the God of War was willing to allow Lin Jie to inherit his Mystic Skill Book, this Sea Riding skill could be used forever!

The Lightning Spear was the most intimidating skill Lightning Mages had, but the effects were quite different from Lin Jie’s version. Lightning Mages could store at most 20 Lightning Spears, and each of them would deal 20% damage to a target with a 90% chance of paralyzing the target.

Lightning Mages mainly used Lightning Spear together with another skill called “Thunder Explosion”. A special feature of Thunder Explosion was that the higher the number of monsters within a certain radius, the higher the damage dealt. They were proficient in AOE spells that dealt high damage.

Meanwhile, Lin Jie’s Lightning Spear Strike itself would deal an attack with quite the high damage output. It also could conduct electricity and become an AOE skill. Together with Lin Jie’s Thunder Descent, using the two skills to farm monsters was just an awesome feat!

Also, normally, other people did not know that Lightning Spear Strike had such an effect, so it would be quite effective in setting up other people.

With the paralysis effect of Thunder Descent, the Lightning Spear Strike had evolved into a super AOE magic spell. With all five spears attacking together, it was as if the first floor of the Ice Shrine had actually become a hell of lightning. The whole sky was filled with lightning striking down and the shadow of the Lightning Spear, stringing all the Snow Elves together. Waves of damage values could be seen popping up from the pile of monsters, almost filling up one’s line of sight!

In a matter of a few minutes, the immense number of Snow Elves had lost their lives from being attacked by the lightning and shriveled.

A few Snow Elves were still struggling and wanted to channel magic spells, but the most powerful point of lightning magic was the paralysis effect, so before they could even gather their magic, it would have been interrupted and dissipated. In the end, they were all converted into experience points and items, going into the pockets of the three people.

Baili Changcheng took a look at the system prompt message of receiving experience points crazily popping up. He was about to say something to show his admiration to such a top-grade level-farming helper, but who would have expected the golden light ray of leveling up descending right on him—he had actually directly leveled up!

That made Baili Changcheng, who had experienced the hardships of raising one’s level, feel the disparity between them… Recalling back the times he had been killed all the way to Level 30, he had been staying in the legendary “ideal leveling grounds” farming for a whole day, and he only raised his level to 31. Now, in just over one hour, he had reached Level 33. As the saying went, “When two items are compared, the poorer and less useful item should be discarded.” When comparing him and Lin Jie, he was so ashamed to even show his face.

Baili Changcheng’s level was low, this was killing monsters that were 27 levels higher than him, and the over-level experience enhancement was extremely high. Not to mention these Snow Elves were Elite monsters, meaning their experience points were higher than normal monsters.

Also, Lin Jie, this beast-like powerful person, was simply mass-farming the Elites, the rapid increase in their EXP bars would make others envious. It would be even weirder if Baili Changcheng’s levels did not increase quickly!

On the other hand, Lin Jie and Bu Yi played the role of damage dealers, so the EXP that they had received was much higher than Baili, who was just a bystander. The experience bar of the two also increased rapidly, Lin Jie ‘s experience bar gradually neared Level 47 80%, it was close to leveling up.

Finally, as the lightning, which filled up the sky, dissipated, the Snow Elves filling up the entrance had all died. All the corpses were converted into torrents of water vapor and absorbed by the Sea King Scaly Armor. Also, the Mermaid Princess did not restrain herself and took part of it since as long as it was water-type energy, she welcomed it all and would absorb them completely.

Suddenly, an idea popped up in Lin Jie’s mind. ‘Could it be this Lightning Spear Strike is a skill that the Mermaid Princess specially helped me unseal after seeing my current situation, in exchange for the reward of her absorbing the water-type energy?’ Once he thought of it, he instantly understood. ‘F*ck, I thought this little princess had specially helped me because she saw that I was in trouble farming monsters, so in the end, it was just a transaction!’

“Phew, this feeling of leveling up is too awesome,” exclaimed Baili Changcheng. He looked at the dustless ground and said, “It’s just these monsters are too stingy, they didn’t even drop anything.”

Lin Jie smiled and said, “The most precious items in this Ice Shrine are items like treasure chests or the mission rewards after killing the final Boss. Otherwise, it would purely be a farming ground. Also, the number of monsters is immense, so the consumption of potions and equipment durability is huge too.”

Bu Yi was drinking a bottle of Mana Restoration Potion as she heard what Lin Jie said and nodded. She had also played the role of damage dealer partially during the farming of monsters, so her consumption of mana was astonishing.

However, Lin Jie had predicted it beforehand, so he had directly carried a backpack full of potions here. Even if they farmed there for a few days, it would be enough to last them.

There were more than just these few hundreds of Snow Elves in the first floor, there were still many scattered in the surroundings—there were at least 10 per wave and at most 30 in a wave of the Snow Elves’ army. The closer they were to the stairway, the larger the number of Snow Elves! Unless they cleared all of the Snow Elves in the first floor, or else they would not be able to climb to the second floor.

As for these monsters, naturally, Lin Jie welcomed them all as the experience points of the Snow Elves in the Ice Shrine were high, and they had low health. The only shortcoming was that they did not drop any items.

Now, Lin Jie urgently needed to raise his level to 50! Only then would his Secret Techniques of Clomaros be able to be activated, and he would have the chance to obtain the God of War’s Heritage skill.

Although the Sea Riding skill Lin Jie had was extremely powerful, in the end, it was not an exclusive skill for Berserkers—its compatibility with Berserkers was not high. If he could obtain the God of War’s heritage, then he could refine his skills through the Mystic Skill Book, keeping the essence and discarding the impurities.

The Ice Shrine was the best farming ground. There were numerous Snow Elves, and their experience points were rich, it was a rare ideal leveling ground! In order to raise his level to 50, he would at most need three to four days.

In The New Age, there were various different ways to level up, farming monsters, completing missions, even if one was a Living job like waiters or Blacksmiths, one could obtain experience points to level up when training the proficiency of one’s job skill. Of course, the highest efficiency would be to find a suitable map and stay there to farm monsters.

However, as compared to staying in a certain map and farming, players were more willing to be travelers. The reason was simple… traveling had chances of miraculous encounters—that was the so-called “luck”. If one was lucky enough and obtained some treasure left from ancient times, or be liked by an NPC and be taught by the NPC. As such, it would not be weird at all if one’s strength would instantly increase greatly.

“I’ll go and pull the monsters,” said Baili Changcheng.

“Can you… really do it?” asked Lin Jie. Baili Changcheng was only Level 33, he was still quite weak, so if he failed to pull the monsters but were killed by the monsters instead, then that would be a tragedy.

Baili Changcheng puffed up his chest. “Of course! I’ll let you take a look at my latest skill of Ice Control!”

Just as he finished, Baili Changcheng’s eyes were covered in a layer of pale blue light, his pitch-black pupils had turned pale blue. On the tip of his Ice Sword, a small heart-shaped rune was gradually formed. The cold icy air in the surroundings seemed to be attracted and surged towards the runes.

After a moment, the cold air which gathered around the heart could even be seen by naked eyes. That cold air gradually transformed, growing out spikes, and it had turned into a huge long narrow vine made of ice, which was filled with spikes in the end!

“Ice Control Ice Crack!” With a roar, that thorny vine started wiggling about like a poisonous snake. Each time it moved, the icy spikes on the thorny spine would be shot out vigorously. The Snow Elves that were in the distance were all shot by the spikes, and a negligible damage value popped up from their heads.

Baili Changcheng’s level was originally low, so there was level suppression on his attributes, and he also used ice-type magic, so the effects on the monsters were even weaker. Therefore, the Damage Dealt was negligible.

However, no matter how low the damage was, all of the Snow Elves were still attracted. The attacking range of Baili Changcheng’s skill was so vast it left people astonished—it actually included the whole first floor of the Ice Shrine.

“Good job!” Lin Jie instantly did the same and went to help Baili Changcheng, pulling all the Snow Elves gradually to the agreed location.

Mass-farming Elite monsters! How many people could do such a thing in the whole of The New Age? Maybe Scorching Scorching Sun, Hungry Tiger, Character Z, Baili Xuanyuan who had stored his Ability Points, or top-tier elite players like Ophadi could do it. However, if it were a normal player, it was simply something unimaginable!

To normal players, what was the meaning of an Elite-Level monster? It was a monster that a whole team was needed to kill it.

When farming monsters, normal players would team up to kill one monster while Lin Jie could farm all the monsters on his own. This also reflected a fact: The disparity in players’ strength was extremely large. Also, the strong would become stronger, while the weak would only be able to struggle at the bottom.

That was the reason why The New Age emphasized on “miraculous encounters” greatly, only such uncertain but important encounters could allow the players of the mainstream to advance by leaps and bounds and chase up to the top players. The number of miraculous encounters for new players would even increase more and more as the game progressed, to allow those latecomers to catch up to the veterans.

“Thunderstorm!” Seeing that the remaining Snow Elves in the map had almost finished gathering, Lin Jie waved his Broken Blade, and the power of the Thunderstorm started to become restless. The violent lightning energy created a dark and gloomy cloud, which brew countless of lightning bolts. In the blink of an eye, a purple bolt of lightning struck down, and numerous lightning bolts followed!

The Snow Elves were burnt pitch-black by being electrocuted by the lightning, but it was far from over. One could only see Lin Jie clenching his fist, and Lightning Spears were gathered in his hand, being shot towards the Snow Elves crazily!

“Lightning Spear Strike!”

-2,736!

-2,536!

…

A huge wave of damage values popped up, these Snow Elves were burnt into a crisp by being electrocuted, and all turned into a current of air, which was absorbed by Lin Jie.

Whoosh!

After a total of 30 minutes, all of the Snow Elves disappeared! With the golden light, which shone down on Lin Jie, his level was raised to 48, while Bu Yi and Baili Changcheng each raised their levels by 2.

“According to this speed, after we clear this map, I can at least reach Level 40, right?” said Baili Changcheng happily. Such a fearsome map made Baili Changcheng really excited.

Lin Jie calculated, after clearing the Ice Shrine, he could maybe reach Level 49, the difficulty of leveling up for high-level players was too high.

“Oh, a treasure chest?” At that moment, Bu Yi ran towards the stairs in surprise. Indeed, there was an ice-blue treasure chest shining brightly.

“The items inside the treasure chest could be counted as compensation for the monsters not dropping items. This treasure chest, which is placed at the entrance of the stairway, is equal to the reward for clearing the first level,” said Lin Jie with a smile as he looked at Bu Yi opening the treasure chest. However, when Bu Yi looked inside, she was stunned. “It’s empty?”
