Among the ghouls’ drops, a familiar-looking item appeared.

This item was exceedingly rare, able to increase a player’s free Mastery points.
It was generally obtained from opening chests or completing rare quests. To see it drop from a special Elite was a first for
Currently, Shi Feng’s One-Handed Sword Mastery had reached the Basic Sword Master level, which boosted his one-handed sword damage by 30%.
Truly powerful expert players reaching the Advanced Swordsman level and getting a 20% boost was considered quite good. After all, most experts were still stuck at the Intermediate Swordsman level.
“A Bronze Rank Book of Mastery?” Shi Feng examined the book’s data, a hint of regret in his heart.
If only it were an Iron Rank Book of Mastery, it might have propelled him straight to Intermediate Sword Master.
A Bronze Rank Book of Mastery granted a random 5 to 25 points upon use, far less than the 10 to 50 points an Iron Rank one provided.
Basic Sword Master required 150 Mastery points.
Intermediate Sword Master required 200 Mastery points.
If an Iron Rank book granted high random points, combined with his existing accumulation, he might jump directly to Intermediate Sword Master.
At Intermediate Sword Master, one-handed sword damage would increase by 40%—a significant boost for any player.
Shi Feng casually used the Book of Mastery, instantly gaining 9 free Mastery points. Added to his previous total, he now had 177 points, just 23 short of advancing to Intermediate Sword Master.
“Wonder if the remaining ghouls will drop more Books of Mastery.” Anticipation welled up in Shi Feng’s heart. He controlled one Tier 3 demon to wait 200 yards outside the palace entrance, then sent another Tier 3 demon to hunt nearby ghouls.
Only three ghouls remained within 200 yards of the palace.
Shi Feng didn’t dare draw their attention recklessly. His level was too low; a moment’s carelessness could alert the Thunder Beast Guardians. Then he’d be doomed for sure. He couldn’t take that risk.
As Shi Feng waited quietly, the ghouls around him continued to dwindle.
Roughly one Bronze Rank Book of Mastery dropped for every fifty ghouls killed. This gave Shi Feng a good way to increase his power.
Mastery was something Divine Realm players didn’t place much importance on. But once a player’s level was high enough, they’d realize just how much Mastery could enhance them.
Reaching Intermediate Sword Master increased one-handed sword damage by 40%, while Advanced Sword Master boosted it by 50%.
If he could go a step further and reach Basic Sword King level, one-handed sword damage would soar by a whopping 80%. That extra 30% wasn’t something two or three pieces of equipment could easily make up for.
Thus, in many Divine Realm PvP battles, even when both sides had similar skill levels and one had a stat advantage, they could still be defeated by the other due to a gap in Mastery.
If he could raise the guild leadership’s Mastery to a high level, dealing with the
But reaching the Sword King level was incredibly difficult.
To advance to Advanced Sword Master alone required 300 Mastery points. Basic Sword King needed 450 points—three times the amount required for Basic Sword Master.
