We're already in close combat and you still say you're a mage?

After selling the equipment, Xu Bai went to the attribute enhancement hall to improve his physical attributes.

But before that, he had to use all the potions he had collected from Ella, and then improve his physical attributes.

Xu Bai used the potion from the storage space and placed it in front of him. He wanted to sell the excess "Swift Potion" and "Strong Potion".

However, in order to attract customers, he put out all the potions he had collected from Ella in one go.

Soon, the stall was filled with potions of various colors.

These potions were all made by Ella's best friend, the pharmacist Jasmine Al, but Ella had already used them, and she planned to return the rest to her best friend after returning to the star realm, which was an advantage for Xu Bai.

"Is this for sale?"

As soon as the potions were put out, a man with prosthetics installed all over his body and a mechanical red light in his eyes walked to Xu Bai's booth, picked up a bottle of "Sage's Moment", and asked Xu Bai.

"This is not for sale."

Xu Bai rejected the prosthetic man, then pointed to the bottles of "Swift Potion" and "Visiting Potion" next to him, and said, "Those bottles are for sale."

The man put down the "Sage's Moment", picked up a bottle of "Swift Potion", looked at it, and said: 1000 origin coins per bottle, I want four bottles. "

Then he picked up two bottles of "Wangsheng Potion" and said, "How about these two bottles costing 4000 each."

"it is good."

The prosthetic man transferred the Origin Coin to Xu Bai, picked up four bottles of "Swift Potion" from the stall and left.

The price is not expensive.

Amplification potions are ultra-rare items within the Court of Origins and can only be purchased in the Trial Shop, and there is a limit to the number of times they can be purchased. Usually only one bottle can be purchased at the end of a trial.

This has resulted in the drug-enhancing agent being very popular in the market.

After selling the potion, Xu Bai drank all the remaining potion in one breath and sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for the potion to be digested and absorbed.

Perhaps they were all made by a pharmacist. After drinking so many potions at one time, there was no conflict between them in Xu Bai's belly.

Soon, the potion was digested, and Xu Bai increased his strength attribute by 4 points, physical attribute by 3 points, speed attribute by 5 point, and intelligence attribute by 100 points, plus health points.

Xu Bai once again felt the swelling of his physical fitness that had improved too quickly. He now seemed to feel that there was no enemy that he could not pierce with a single shot.

He sat cross-legged on the spot, calming down and meditating, adapting to his stronger body.

Soon, Xu Bai stood up and walked towards the skill enhancement hall.

After converting all the internal profits of the trial world into resources, he now has an Origin Coin, 387 small crystal cores, and 56 medium-sized crystal cores.

Among these resources, Ella’s small treasury contributed the most.

Xu Bai came to the skill upgrade hall, chose an unused skill upgrade cabin, walked in, and locked the door.

Xu Bai first upgrades his skill "Frost Trap"

冰霜陷阱lv.6：吟唱三秒钟，消耗自身20点法力值布置一个存在30分钟的冰霜陷阱，触发后对敌人造成20%（+5%）的减速与50（+10）点法术伤害。最多存在3个冰霜陷阱，冷却时间10秒。

"Tip: Whether to upgrade Frost Trap lv.6, each level consumes one small crystal core + 20 origin coins."

Xu Bai chose to upgrade to level 10.

4 small crystal cores + 80 origin coins were consumed.

The skill upgrade cabin started working, and bursts of white smoke came out.

Soon, the upgrade is over.

冰霜陷阱lv.10：吟唱三秒钟，消耗自身20点法力值布置一个存在30分钟的冰霜陷阱，触发后对敌人造成25%的减速与60点法术伤害。最多存在3个冰霜陷阱，冷却时间10秒。

"Tip: The damage caused by the skill is not an absolutely fixed value. This value is for reference only."

The active skill "Frost Trap" has been upgraded to level 10 and has no additional effects.

Xu Bai chose to continue to improve.

"Tip: Whether to upgrade Frost Trap lv.10, each level consumes 5 small crystal cores + 100 origin coins."

The upgrade cost increased by five times, but Xu Bai didn't care. He now had plenty of resources, and this time he directly upgraded to level 5.

50 small crystal cores + 500 origin coins were consumed.

White smoke came out of the skill upgrade cabin again, and after a while, the upgrade was completed.

冰霜陷阱lv.20：吟唱三秒钟，消耗自身20点法力值布置一个存在30分钟的冰霜陷阱，触发后对敌人造成50%的减速与90点法术伤害。最多存在3个冰霜陷阱，冷却时间10秒。

LV.20 additional bonus: The upper limit of frost traps is increased by 2.

Xu Bai chose to continue upgrading.

"Tip: This upgrade will advance the Frost Trap. Please consume 1000 Origin Coins to advance this skill. Do you want to advance it?"

Xu Bai immediately chose to advance.

This time, there was no white smoke coming out of the skill upgrade cabin, but an icy blue light.

"Tip: The advancement has been completed, please check the advanced attributes in the skill list."

Xu Bai opened the skill list and found that "Frost Trap" had changed its name to "Ice Spike", and the skill level had also returned to zero, but the basic damage had been greatly improved.

Ice Spike lv.1: Chant for three seconds, consume 50 mana points to generate an Ice Spike anywhere within a radius of 50 meters, with an attack range of 9 meters, causing 50% slowdown and damage to the enemy. 130 points of ice attribute damage, cooling time 10 seconds.

After "Frost Trap" is upgraded to "Ice Spike", its attributes can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

It can generate an attack range of 50 meters anywhere within a range of 9 meters, with high damage and slowdown.

This is almost any fort mage's dream skill.

After reading the skill information, Xu Bai was overjoyed and immediately chose to upgrade "Ice Ground Thorn"

"Tip: Whether to upgrade Ice Spike lv.1, each level consumes 1 medium-sized crystal core + 500 origin coins."

Along with the increase in skill intensity is the rising upgrade cost. Xu Bai chose to upgrade it by 1 level first to see how the skill intensity changes after the upgrade.

As Xu Bai chose to upgrade, the skill upgrade cabin began to work.

Ice Spike lv.2: Chant for three seconds, consume 50 mana points to generate an Ice Spike anywhere within a radius of 55 meters, with an attack range of 10 meters, causing 50% slowdown and damage to the enemy. 150 points of ice attribute damage, cooling time 10 seconds.

The one-level upgrade is quite large. It increases the attack radius and range of "Ice Ground Thorn", as well as the attack damage. It's no wonder that the upgrade cost is so expensive. After all, it's expensive.

However, Xu Bai did not choose to continue to improve. He also wanted to upgrade other skills.

"Tip: Whether to upgrade elemental constitution (passive) lv.11, each level consumes a small crystal core + 40 origin coins."

Xu Bai chose to upgrade to level 20, and a colorful light entered Xu Bai's body from the upgrade cabin.

9 small crystal cores + 360 origin coins were consumed.

After the improvement, Xu Bai checked the skill information.

Elemental constitution lv.20 (passive): Your body has formed a good symbiotic relationship with the natural elements, and the damage increased by 20% when using magic skills.

lv.10 additional bonus: Increase mana by 15%.

lv.20 additional bonus: increase spell power by 20%.

Spell strength can be understood as the degree of condensation of natural elements gathered by the magician's mana when releasing skills.

In combat, the damage caused by skills and attacks to the enemy is not just a numerical value, it is a numerical value. It is also affected by armor, resistance, defense, various immune passives, and various other factors.

This causes attacks or skills to hit enemies, and the damage is actually not as high as shown in the skill information.

"Spell Strength" can increase the damage level of skills and reduce the damage received after the skills attack the enemy. This is an extremely important ability for mages.

Xu Bai continued to choose to improve his "elemental physique".

"Tip: Whether to upgrade elemental constitution (passive) lv.20, each level consumes 50 small crystal cores + 1000 origin coins."

The skill upgrade prompt that Xu Bai originally thought would appear did not appear, but the skill upgrade cost increased significantly.

Gritting his teeth, Xu Bai chose to upgrade "Elemental Physique" to level 2. After all, this skill was a percentage damage bonus, so he wouldn't suffer any loss.

100 small crystal cores + 2000 origin coins were consumed.

After a while, the upgrade was completed.

Elemental constitution lv.22 (passive): Your body has formed a good symbiotic relationship with the natural elements, and the damage increased by 22% when using magic skills.

However, this kind of powerful passive that can increase the final damage of skills, no matter how expensive Xu Bai is, he still needs to upgrade.

Next, Xu Bai chose to upgrade to "Master of Spear Skills"

Checking the prompts, Xu Bai was surprised to find that, perhaps because his understanding of marksmanship had improved, "Master of Marksmanship (Passive)" had actually improved by 3 levels, from lv.11 to lv.14.

Spear Master lv.14 (Passive): You are proficient in spear skills, and the melee damage caused by using gun weapons is increased by 14%.

"Tip: Whether to upgrade Gunslinger (passive) to lv.14, each level consumes a small crystal core + 40 origin coins."

Xu Bai chose to upgrade to level 20.

The skill upgrade cabin starts operating.

After a while, the upgrade was completed, and Xu Bai checked "Master of Spear Skills (Passive)".

Spear Master lv.20 (Passive): You are proficient in spear skills, and the melee damage caused by using gun weapons is increased by 20%.

lv.10 additional bonus: increase attack power by 15%.

lv.20 additional bonus: Increase melee penetration by 20%.

Corresponding to the "spell power" mentioned earlier, "melee penetration" is an important ability for melee walkers to avoid melee damage being reduced by the enemy's armor, resistance, defense, damage reduction passive, etc.

Xu Bai continued to choose to improve his skills.

"Tip: Whether to upgrade Gunslinger (Passive) to lv.20, each level consumes 50 small crystal cores + 1000 origin coins."

The cost of upgrading these two passive skills after level 20 is quite the same, both are quite expensive.

Xu Bai still chose to upgrade to "Lance Master (Passive)" by two levels.

100 small crystal cores + 2000 origin coins were consumed.

Spear Master lv.22 (Passive): You are proficient in spear skills, and the melee damage caused by using gun weapons is increased by 22%.

Currently, Xu Bai still has 118 Origin Coin + 55 small crystal cores + medium-sized crystal cores left in his hand.

Seeing that he had plenty of resources, he decided to learn the skill "Grasp of the Earth" that was obtained from the bronze-level treasure chest.

He took out the "Earth Grip Skill Scroll" from the storage space and chose to use it to learn the skill.

Earth Grip Skill Scroll

Type: Skill Scroll.

Quality: Bronze level.

Effect: After use, you can learn the skill Earth Grip lv.1

Grasp of the Earth lv.1: No need to chant, consume 15 mana points to generate an Earth Grasp composed of rock elements anywhere within a radius of 10 meters, causing 2 seconds of stun and 10 points of spell damage to the enemy. It can only be used in Used on land.

The skill upgrade cabin started to operate, and the "Grasp of the Earth Skill Scroll" turned into an earth-yellow stream of light and sank into Xu Bai's body.

After a while, "Grasp of the Earth lv.1" appeared in Xu Bai's skill list.

He chooses to ascend.

"Tip: Whether to upgrade Grasp of the Earth lv.1, each level consumes one small crystal core + 20 origin coins."

Xu Bai first chose to directly upgrade to level 10.

It cost 10 small crystal cores and 200 origin coins.

The skill upgrade cabin emits an earthy yellow light and begins to operate.

The upgrade will be completed soon.

Grasp of the Earth lv.10: No need to chant, consume 15 mana points to generate an Earth Grasp composed of rock elements anywhere within a radius of 20 meters, causing 4 seconds of stun and 50 points of spell damage to the enemy. It can only be used in Used on land.
