Chapter 5, Fengyun Platform
1230
Upon reviewing one's own contribution, it amounts to only 3 points, and there seems to be little room for choice
The undead swordsman, in a fit of rage, charged onto the stage, raising his hand to draw his sword, unleashing a stunning wave of fiery sword energy
Alas, it is a disgrace to social morals
Saying this, he also cast a cold glance at me and said: "Kid, the spot at Fengyun Platform is mine. If you know what's good for you, you'd better scram quickly"
In the sky, a stream of light emerged, and instantly, two figures were enveloped by the brilliance and surged up to the Wind and Cloud Platform. One of them was the ferocious lion I had just seen, while his opponent was a magically transformed giant-eared rabbit
At that moment, a wailing sound rose from the sky, followed by a black mist enveloping the Fengyun Platform, rapidly coalescing into a human face. It was unmistakably the visage of an old man, adorned with a tall crown and flowing robes, exuding a certain ethereal grace. Unfortunately, the aura of death surrounding him was utterly discordant.
System Notification: Dear player, your personal growth system has been activated. As an assassin with the bloodline of Asura, your personal growth values are as follows: Strength 1.0, Agility 1.3, Stamina 0.9, Spirit 0.9. Good luck!
At this moment, not far away, a creature resembling mucus slowly rose its body. Its bloated form struggled to stand but to no avail, forming a tightly clenched fist and murmuring: "This time, it is time for our Slime clan to rise in the Black Castle. The glory of our ancestor, the Golden Slime, shall be carried forward by me!"
The elderly figure floating in the air gazed at us and said: "This time, the showdown at the Wind and Cloud Platform will determine the sole victor, who will represent our Black Castle and transform into a powerful being of the world of death, instilling the true fear of strength in those brave souls from other worlds. Now, you may begin your preparations, for soon the names will be called, and the decisive battle will commence!"
In the next moment, the three basic skills of the assassins appeared in my skill bar, and they felt quite familiar, as if old friends were meeting again. At this moment, I took a deep breath, and my entire being seemed to open up, just as A Fei said, this time, let us explore the world of "Phantom Moon" together!
A spectral swordsman, clad in armor and with his arms crossed, stood with a blade glinting coldly behind him. He sneered, saying: "A bunch of rotten fruits, do you really think you can compete with true undead warriors for a spot on the Fengyun Platform? Dream on!"
Swipe, swipe, swipe ~ ~ ~
Hmph, bringing shame upon oneself
Comprehension: 94
In one round, the outcome has been determined
Confirm, choose stealth, strike, backstab
I couldn't help but chuckle; the Big-Eared Rabbit hadn't even had the chance to make a move, and its health bar was too short, which is a fatal flaw
With such offense, defense, and impressive vitality, I wonder who among them can be my opponent
Less than three zhang away from me, a wild lion clad in decaying armor and with an ugly visage opened its mouth to speak human words. Above its head, a striking name appeared—Infernal Wild Lion, with a level marked as "???". At this moment, I could not discern clearly. This wild lion appeared extremely fierce, yet its armor was tattered, and it was not even wearing pants, revealing two round objects swaying beneath its body.
Suddenly, an invisible radiance enveloped another figure as it ascended the stage, but the outcome was the same; the Infernal Lion was too fierce, and in a flash, its dual claws struck together, essentially obliterating everything in an instant
Now, there is only one person left, and that is me
[Stealth] (Grade B): Enter stealth mode while in a non-combat state, reducing movement speed by 50%. Selecting this option requires the consumption of 1 contribution point
After reviewing the attribute points, I noticed that I had gained a level from https://m.hetushu.com, and I had 5 free points to allocate. Looking at my attributes, without a second thought, I allocated all 5 points to health. According to my stamina growth, 1 point of stamina translates to 90 points of health, which instantly boosted my health bar to 550 points.

Before me lies a dazzling array of lights, revealing a series of skill lists, all of which are available for me to choose from as an assassin profession
July's Fiery Flow (Undead Assassin)
The Infernal Lion let out a roar, its body suddenly sinking, transforming into a beam of fierce light that shot out. With its claws extended, it tore open the chest of the Big-Eared Rabbit with a "puff" sound, causing blood to gush forth. With another swipe of its claw, it sent the Big-Eared Rabbit flying with a "crack" sound! In the moment it was propelled out of the Wind and Cloud Platform, the Big-Eared Rabbit was enveloped in light and flew out of the domain of the Wind and Cloud Platform, returning to the Cycle Valley.
I was taken aback and had no choice but to kneel on one knee.
... ...
Swish!
[Strike] (Level B): Inflicts 120% damage to the target from the front and stuns it for 1.5 seconds, requiring the consumption of 1 contribution point.
Charm: 0
In the next moment, a preparation interface suddenly opened before my eyes, revealing a personal attribute adjustment plan, accompanied by the sound of a bell ringing in my ears
[Blade of the Hunter] (S Rank): Launch three attacks against the enemy. The damage of the first attack is related to attack power, the damage of the second attack is related to agility, and the third attack is related to critical hit. A consumption of 100 contribution points is required for selection

Hmm
Greetings, Elder
The Infernal Lion let out a low growl, its body sinking as its sharp claws swept across the abdomen of the Undead Swordsman. Following this, it deftly maneuvered past, turning once more to sweep again, its lower body flailing wildly, effortlessly toppling the Undead Swordsman onto the stage.
As far as I know, after the opening of the Phantom Moon, the class with the highest dimensional growth is the swordsman, which is merely 1.0, 0.9, 0.8, and 0.8 in succession. The swordsman is known for its attack and agility, which are only 1.0 and 0.9 respectively. Compared to my growth of 1.0 and 1.3, it is simply weak beyond measure
On the Fengyun Platform, the Infernal Lion directly restored its health to full, looking down at the crowd with great dominance, and said: "Continue, I want to see who among you can be my opponent"
The Fengyun Platform has finally been launched
The body was directly extracted, and in the next moment, it was swept up by a blood-red radiance, soaring into the sky. In an instant, it broke free from the Reincarnation Valley. Looking back and gazing down, one could see the vast Reincarnation Valley right before them, densely populated with at least ten thousand Soul Refining Furnaces. At this moment, these furnaces were burning fiercely, and countless reconstituted souls were flying into the sky, heading towards various novice villages to coalesce into new monsters.
Moreover, the system has imposed a limit on the number of skills, allowing the selection of only three types. Therefore, the only options available are Stealth, Strike, and Backstab, making one a straightforward assassin
Combat power: 23
When I witnessed these four moments of growth, my mind went blank with a "buzz". Indeed, no wonder the system sprite said that my profession and hidden race are a tremendous opportunity; this kind of growth is simply extraordinary!
... ...
You ... ...
I sighed and placed my hand on my forehead
I furrowed my brow and said nothing; these NPCs are too arrogant, completely disregarding the players. Perhaps, in their eyes, I no longer count as a player at all
This place is simply a super workshop for the transformation of souls
Vitality: 100
A radiant light swept by, and my personal panel finally activated the level system! Moreover, a bell sound echoed once again in my ears
In a moment, it was dazzling to behold. The last three skills were each more powerful than the last, especially the "Infernal Calamity". This skill is deep red in color and is an SSS-level assassin skill, which I believe is the pinnacle skill for the assassin class. Unfortunately, the contribution cost is too high, and these skills are not learned but rather chosen for a one-time use. After the Wind and Cloud Platform, they will disappear.
Get lost
Time flies swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, only three individuals remain around the Wind and Cloud Platform: the Infernal Mad Lion and the previously imposing, scolding us as rotten fruits, the Undead Swordsman.
The Infernal Lion stood on the stage with its arms crossed over its chest, looking imposing as it gazed at the Undead Swordsman, saying: "I have heard that you are a renowned swordsman from the Treasure Pavilion. Come on, let me see how capable you are, little brat!"
In the distance, a large-eared rabbit, surrounded by an aura of death, let out a cold laugh and said, "Slimes, do you think you are worthy to ascend the Fengyun Platform?"
Critical Hit: 0
Level: 1
Re-splitting
A group of the deceased kneels in reverence
[Infernal Fire Triple Calamity] (SSS Level): Summons infernal fire to concentrate on the weapon, resulting in three consecutive attacks that ignore a certain amount of the target's defense, dealing 110%, 125%, and 150% of attack damage respectively, with a requirement of 500 contribution points for activation
[Blade of Godslaying] (Grade A): Ignores 30% of the target's defense, dealing 165% damage to the target, with a requirement to consume 15 contribution points.
At present, my total value of four-dimensional growth has reached 4.1, which is absolutely extraordinary
The original attack power was 5 - 10, and the defense power was 6. The reason the current attributes are so high is due to the ancient bracelet, which has increased my strength by 9 points and defense by 15 points. It may seem unremarkable, but after this ascent to the Wind and Cloud Platform, my attributes will be connected to the Boss, increasing tenfold. Therefore, the attributes enhanced by the ancient bracelet should amount to 90 points of attack power and 150 points of defense. How fierce this is on the very first day of the game's launch!
Not only myself, but also shadows of people continuously fell around me, as well as wild beasts and beings of the deceased that were transmitted over, all distributed around the Fengyun Platform, each exuding a very invigorated expression.
Hey ... ...
Attack: 12 - 19
The so-called growth refers to the growth value of attribute points. For example, an increase in strength attributes enhances attack power, with a growth value of 1.0, meaning that 1 point of strength translates to 1 point of attack power. However, a strength growth of 0.5 can only be converted to 0.5 points of attack power, thus making such attributes vastly different.
[Backstab] (B Level): Launch an attack from behind the target, dealing up to 250% damage, requiring the consumption of 1 contribution point.
In the next moment, the body fell straight into the forest on one side of the Reincarnation Valley with a loud "bang," landing on a clearing halfway up the mountain. Not far ahead, a massive battle platform stood, surrounded by towering death totems, filled with a murderous aura, as if thousands of troops could charge out from the platform at any moment
Hmph
... ...
Defense: 21
Drip
The Infernal Lion roared, using its resilient arm to block the sharp sword. With a resounding "bang," it dealt 1,252 points of damage, instantly reducing its health by 30%. This indicates that its health is approximately 4,000 points, which is lower than mine. At the moment it blocked the sword, the Undead Swordsman let out a low growl, and the sound of the long sword unleashed a series of golden hexagrams, showcasing its signature skill—Combo!
Fengyun Platform, one of the five pavilions outside the Black Castle.
Soul Star : 0
Taking a deep breath, I opened the properties panel
Victory!
System prompt: Young deceased, after completing the transformation of the Fengyun Platform, all your attributes will be increased by 1000%, and the level system will be activated. Now, please select the skills you wish to carry!
