<h4>Chapter 1684: Non-Horde</h4>

    The fact that Lu Li could use Spirit Casting was quite miraculous.


    Demitrian’s method of Spirit Casting could be taught to others. ording to the design of the game, it needed to be a yer with a high level of Charisma and luck. Furthermore, it also needed to be at a time when Demitrian felt that his life was nearing its end. It was only once that these conditions were met that he had a chance at triggering the quest. After this, then there were also a lot of hard work and dedication which only gave him a small chance at learning Spirit Casting.


    Lu Li’s luck wasn’t great and his Charisma levels were also not spectacr either.


    That was why it was simply miraculous.


    Firstly, Lu Li used his words to evoke Demitrian’s feelings and memories with his own mentor, then he also used the fact that the Blessed de of the Windseeker wasn’t even on the level of a demigod weapon, despite using Prince Thunderaan’s soul to craft it. These words made Demitrian feel the hopelessness that his mentor had experienced before his death.


    With these, the conditions of Demitrian feeling both ipetent and that his life was nowing to its end had been fulfilled.


    As for the other conditions, Lu Li had saved Demitrian’s life by using Gale Steps to block a lethal attack from Prince Thunderaan. Otherwise, with his normal luck and Charisma levels, Demitrian wouldn’t even look at him.


    Even if the first condition was fulfilled and the second was not, then Lu Li would still be among thest people to be taught Spirit Casting.


    In the end, it was the Hammer and Supreme Ring that shocked Demitrian. This was especially true with the Supreme Ring. The appearance of the Supreme Ring had shattered his original perspective.


    These two items greatly raised Lu Li’s status in Demitrian’s eyes.


    This intelligent NPC had already made his decision. This was something that was intended by the design, but it was not set in stone.


    Dawn was AI-controlled, which meant that there was more freedom within the game. For the sake of improving yability and flexibility within the game, the gamepany didn’t have set responses for everything. As a result of this, the higher the NPC’s intelligence, the more likely they were to make their own decisions.


    That was why the process of Lu Li acquiring the skill was incredible.


    The gamepany had no rights to intervene. Even if they wanted to utilise underhanded tactics to intervene, they weren’t able to take away the skill that was already in Lu Li’s hands.


    Rut’theran Vige was one of the beginner Dark Elf viges.


    The races in the Alliance were better looking, or at least, they looked more like people. The races in the Horde were freakish and strange.


    The beginner Dark Elf viges were not as popr as the Human ones.


    This was why Lu Li was able to find a ce where he could practice Spirit Casting in peace.


    With one sh of his dagger, an old Nightsaber fell. Lu Li was able to instantly kill these lower-levelled monsters and he began to collect their souls.


    A fog-like essence floated up from the corpse.


    It looked like it had a head, face and was also in the shape of a Nightsaber. Lu Li was extremely happy. His instincts told him that this was the soul of a Nightsaber. He didn’t think that he would seed on the first attempt.


    However, at that same time, the nearly-formed Nightsaber soul dissipated.


    Gone?


    Why did it fail? It was nearlyplete. Lu Li couldn’t understand it.


    He wasn’t frustrated at failing, since he had prepared himself for this.


    Time for the second one...


    Failed again!


    Third one...


    Failed!


    When Lu Li failed for the thirtieth time, he finally realised that he had made a mistake.


    The 50% sess rate didn’t mean that it was a one in two chance to seed. Otherwise, there would have been at least a couple of sesses out of the 30 attempts that he had made. Furthermore, he was even trying the skill on lower-levelled monsters.


    At the same time, the surveince team for the gamepany was also waiting for Lu Li to make a joke of himself.


    Besides the surveince team, the director of design and a few others who were nervous, stayed behind and watched Lu Li as well.


    They watched as Lu Li failed 30 times consecutively, then finally breathed a sigh of relief andughed loudly.


    “We’ve known him for so long now and thought that he was really skilled. Who would’ve thought that his luck would be so bad! How did he get to where he is now?”


    This person in the higher echelons of thepany was clearly not a gamer. His knowledge of Lu Li was probably quite limited as well.


    “Haha! He is quite an interesting character. His talent for gaming is quite good, but his luck and Charisma levels are extremely low. Yep – they are rock bottom. You could say that they are even lower than what we had designed. No one knows what he did to get such bad luck.”


    The director of design was clearly enjoying Lu Li’s failures.


    “There are two girls in his team. One of them has max Charisma, while the other had max Luck,” the leader for the surveince team added.


    The surveince team gave up watching him after a while. Lu Li had already failed 150 times. Even these people who were concerned about the bnce of the game began to sympathise with him. They even hoped that Lu Li would seed just once.


    “Well, we can rest easy now.”


    Thepany executives were quite satisfied. They saw that Lu Li had failed so many times and seemed like he would keep failing, so they didn’t bother watching anymore.


    It was just like what the director of design said. They didn’t need to care about this person.


    Even if he seeded once, it wouldn’t matter!


    Would he give up?


    Of course not!


    This level of hardship was iparable to what he had faced in his life thus far. He was determined enough to face even more difficult things head on.


    He was a child who had grown up in poverty. He had no right to be spoilt.


    167 times!


    Just when he thought that it would fail, the Nightsaber’s soul didn’t dissipate, but instead, grouped together and formed a ball of light. The System then indicated that it was in a collectable state.


    Sess?


    Lu Liughed heartily and was extremely happy. He wasn’t down just because of his failures.


    His mindset was straightforward. The rarer and more precious an item was, the harder it


    was to obtain it. Flukes were non-existent. Therefore, the skill of Spirit Casting was bound to reap great benefits.


    If it was as simple as cutting cake, then he might as well not learn this skill.


    The ball of light took up one slot in his bag. It seemed that he needed to expand his storage again. He envied Hachi Chan’s incredibly spacious bag. Lu Li even thought about begging for one, since he remembered that there was one of them that could be traded.


    After getting a Nightsaber soul, Lu Li immediately gave up the notion of continuing.


    He wanted to find an area where the monster poption was much more concentrated. With him being level 60, the sess rate wouldn’t improve whether the monster was level 5 or 15.


    He went to the Scarlet Monastery next.


    For the sake of better-integrating new yers, all of the lower-levelled Instance Dungeons were made avable to enter. The higher-levelled yers were able to bring the lower-levelled yers into these Instance Dungeons to grind for EXP.


    The Scarlet Monastery was the most popr area for grinding EXP.
