An SS-rank evaluation was the highest possible grade in the inheritance trial.
In his previous life, Shi Feng had received an ordinary inheritance, yet he had no idea how much time and effort it had taken. His final completion rate had only reached an A-rank evaluation, netting him a mere 7 inheritance skill points.
Now, with an SS-rank evaluation, he stood to receive somewhere between 20 and 36 inheritance skill points.
Just thinking about it made Shi Feng's heart race.
He hadn't achieved a 100% completion rate, but he was more than satisfied with the result.
Looking back, reaching 100% completion likely meant surrendering to the will of the gods. Without that surrender, this was probably the ceiling.
System: Completion rate — 92%. Would you like to open the Inheritance Tome and accept the inheritance?
"Accept." Shi Feng didn't hesitate and clicked to accept the inheritance.
The Inheritance Tome blazed with golden light, its cover swinging open. A beam of purple radiance shot forth from its pages and pierced into the space between Shi Feng's brows. His mind flooded with crystalline clarity, as though every secret the world held had been laid bare before his eyes.
By the time the Inheritance Tome faded away, Shi Feng's entire body had begun to emit a faint purple glow that flickered in and out of visibility. After a few seconds, the glow subsided and he returned to normal.
Post-inheritance, Shi Feng felt power coursing through every fiber of his being, his mind sharp and focused. Even if he were to face a Tier 1 Magic Knight in combat right now, he wouldn't consider himself at a disadvantage — provided the knight didn't have a massive health pool, of course.
System: Congratulations! You have obtained one of the Ten Great Inheritances. Reward: 20 Free Mastery Points.
System: Congratulations! You have advanced to the Tier 1 class Sword Saint. The Sword Saint title grants +20 to all attributes, +15 to all resistances, a 15% increase in attack power, a 20% increase in attack speed, and a 30% boost to all attributes.
Shi Feng's level was still 22, but his strength had undergone a seismic transformation.
His base attack power alone had broken past 1,200, and his HP had soared to 4,650 — even higher than what most Tier 1 main tanks possessed.
Moreover, upon advancing to a Tier 1 class, players received 8 free attribute points per level, a massive leap from the 4 points granted at the Zero-tier level.
Shi Feng also held the Abyssal weapon, which added another 2 free attribute points per level on top of that. Combined with the Golden Sacred Mark — which boosted all attributes by 5 points every 5 levels — he could squeeze out another 10 free attribute points.
In other words, for a Tier 1 player, a normal player would accumulate a total of 40 attribute points every 5 levels. Shi Feng, however, could rack up 85. Ordinary players simply couldn't compare.
On top of all that, he had gained two active base skills and one passive skill as a Sword Saint.
The passive skill was Sword Dominance: in both combat and non-combat states, the user could freely swap between any sword-type weapon in hand.
Blade Dance — an active skill requiring a sword-type weapon. The user could simultaneously control up to five sword-type weapons for both offense and defense. Each weapon wielded 80% of the player's handheld weapon's power and dealt 50% damage. Duration: 10 seconds. Range: 40 yards. Cooldown: 1 minute. Current skill level: Tier 1, Stage 1 (Proficiency 0/30,000).
Phantom Light — an active skill requiring a sword-type weapon. Upon activation, the user's next six attacks became undodgeable, and each attack dealt 40% of the player's attack damage. Cooldown: 40 seconds. Current skill level: Tier 1, Stage 1 (Proficiency 0/30,000).
