Chapter 149: The Path of an Expert
After checking the panel, several teammates gathered around and praised him as soon as they met:

"Brother Chu Cheng, you are so awesome. You are level 29 and you crossed a realm to fight a terrifying big boss alone, and you were able to kill him alone. That's awesome."

"Yeah, they are no longer on the same level as us."

Chu Cheng smiled and waved his hand:
"That's an exaggeration. They are all the same, aren't they on the same level?"

Yao Ning shook his head and said:
"This is not an exaggeration, it's true. We are still at the stage of stacking attributes and equipment to fight the BOSS, but you have entered the stage of relying on skills to single-handedly defeat the BOSS. This is the level that only masters can reach. I am optimistic about you. You have a chance to become a legend in the future!"

"Legend is overrated, this is a once in a lifetime series."

"It's very possible."

Chu Cheng smiled, took out the treasure chest and said:
"These are uncertain, let's open the treasure chest first and see if there are any good things."

As he spoke, he opened the treasure chest and a purple light burst out. He took a look and saw only three things inside.

A black two-handed sword, a rare soul gem, and ten soul essences.

Black Warrior Great Sword (Epic/Lilac)
Equipment type: Two-handed sword.

Equipment requirements: Constitution 125, Strength 120
Basic Attack: 325 slash, 275 pierce.

Additional attribute: Constitution +20
Additional attribute: Strength +20
Additional feature: Armor penetration +15
Skill/Active: Death Slash, charges for 1 second, causes physical damage to the target equal to the maximum attack plus strength*5. If the strength is higher than the target's physique, it will definitely trigger a critical hit. The cooldown time is 2 minutes.

Evaluation: The weapon of the black warrior contains a trace of the power of death.

Chu Cheng posted the attributes and said in a deep voice:
"A two-handed weapon, starting price is 150 gold, I'll bid 150 gold first."

Yao Ning immediately bid:

"160 gold."

Wang Jing did not bid, as the weapon he had was not bad.

"170 gold."

"180 gold."

Chu Cheng hesitated for a moment and said:
"220 gold, or more."

Yao Ning bid again:

"230 gold."

"P."

Light purple. Although it is a weapon, the price is really not bad.

Then the red soul gem was sold for 5 gold, and 10 soul essences for 2 gold.

After the inventory was completed, Chu Cheng thought for a moment and said:

"The total amount was 237 gold. I killed the boss alone, so it's okay for me to take half, right?"

Several people laughed, and Yao Ning said:
"It's too little. According to the default rules, in this case, you only need to give us 10 gold coins each, and the rest is all yours."

"Is there still such a rule?"

Feng Lingxing smiled and said:
"Why don't you ask your senior sister Fang Xi and you'll know."

He looked over and Fang Xi nodded:
"Yes."

"You killed the BOSS alone, but everyone helped to clean up the surrounding monsters and didn't interfere. You just roamed around. I got 10 gold as a reward for your hard work."

"Oh, okay."

He was also very receptive and not polite.

He is not like the protagonist in some novels, who kills the boss alone and then shares the income with his teammates.

The spoils can be auctioned. Since we have formed a team, this is the rule.

But he can get the absolute majority of the auction revenue, and he deserves it.

Each of the five people gets 10 gold, and the remaining 187 gold is for himself. Fang Xi also gets 10 gold. Although they are officially a team and can share the economy, now that he is teaming up with others, even if the money belongs to him later, he still has to settle the accounts clearly.

In addition, he still owed Fang Xi 400 gold, and the 400 gold he used to buy the Mark of Death was all borrowed from her.

This needs to be returned to her after leaving the dungeon.

After dividing the gold, the team continued on their journey, wandering around the wasteland between Scourge City and Death Fortress.

This area is full of undead, and there are many elite monsters and bosses, but it is extremely rare to find one with a level of 40 or above and a horror template.

Except for the black knight we encountered that day, we didn't encounter any more in the following days. They were all small bosses over level 30 or elite monsters above level 40.

Whenever he encountered this kind of monster, Chu Cheng would fight it alone.

However, in order to prevent Feng Lingxing and others from having any complaints, they agreed in advance that the spoils of the BOSS they encountered later would be divided equally regardless of whether he killed it alone or not.

After all, they can kill these small and medium-sized BOSSes alone. If he picks them all, it would be like eating them all alone, which would make anyone unhappy.

He can even fight the big boss with a horror template alone, not to mention the small and medium bosses. He doesn't even need potions or BUFFs, he can defeat them all with just one sword.

The master-level one-handed sword and dual-weapon combat skills have brought about a qualitative improvement in his combat skills. Even though the attributes have not changed, his strength has changed qualitatively.

All weapon skills below the expert level are at the same level, with little difference.

There is another world above the expert level, which is called the master level.

And above the expert level, there is a hurdle and a realm to reach at each level.

Expert level, master level, grandmaster level, god level, each level is stronger than the previous one.

His weapon skill has reached the master level, which is considered superb. The blocked attack can reduce 30% of the damage. Generally, BOSSes below the extraordinary level, non-lord, non-law, non-behemoth, and non-mythical are difficult for him to be opponents.

Going one step further and reaching the grandmaster level of weapon skills would be the pinnacle.

At this point, parrying and blocking can not only reduce 50% of the damage, but also be effective against various spells. The attack has the power to break the spell. One sword can split a fireball without exploding it, and a horizontal sword can use the sword body to block lightning, frost, etc. It is extremely exaggerated.

In addition, the grandmaster-level swordsmanship can also reduce force by 50%.

It literally means that if the enemy has 100% of his strength, you only need 50% of your strength to block it. It is most suitable for dealing with opponents with super strong strength.

Note that all of the above are based on the premise of blocking the enemy's attack. If you fail to block it, the damage will be the same.

To achieve high blocking and parrying, you must have high agility to have enough speed and reaction to parry and block.

It's useless to just react consciously.

It should be noted that the benefits of master or grandmaster-level weapon skills are not limited to these. These are just reflected in the data. Beyond the data, there are many combat skills. Exquisite swordsmanship can easily break the opponent's defense and penetrate the target. These are not shown in the data, but they always exist.

"The next level of Grandmaster-level one-handed sword skills."

Chu Chengxin had a feeling that even if he had been using a one-handed sword, he would have to
"Is one year enough?"

I knew from some mysterious sense that if I could maintain high-quality combat, I would be able to reach the Grandmaster level in about a year.

But if you can't maintain high-quality combat, it may take two or three years to reach that level.

The magical effect of the golden finger gave him a guarantee.

"So, how do those true weapon masters become trained?"

Others can't use cheats like him to quickly upgrade weapon skills. It's so difficult to upgrade more than ten or twenty weapon skills.
That's genius!
He shook his head, and with a casual sword, he split a ghost that was flying towards him into two halves, which turned into two streams of smoke and dissipated.

"Ok!"

Just as I was about to continue, I suddenly received a new message. It was from Lei Ming:

"Come to the east quickly, the Cursed Knight is here."

There is also a coordinate attached below.
