Chapter 24 The Value of The Limit
Lu Jin’s eyes were filled with excitement as he watched the faint light slowly dissipate in the air.
Although it was only for a moment, after more than a day of training at Light Hotel, he really did it.
He channeled the energy that was dissipating from the light pulses in his body onto the Sword of Lake Light!
As he looked at the fading light, Lu Jin could not help but smile wryly. “However, the energy channeled from the light pulses seems to be too weak. I’m afraid that it won’t be effective against the Shadowraze.”
The energy from the light pulses in the Sacred Grounds was more than a hundred times stronger than the energy from the light pulses that he was slashing out now. Even under that kind of light-pulse energy, the Shadowraze, which was like a clone, could last for quite a long period of time. His little bit of light-pulse energy could barely scratch the surface…
However, Lu Jin was not dissatisfied with that. After all, he already had the power to face the Shadowraze. Compared to being completely powerless to resist them, he was much stronger.
He then shifted his gaze to his stats bars.
ID: Lu Jin
AR System: Level 10 (Progress: 100%. 1,000 units of memory fragments required to level up once the progress has reached 100%.)
Adventurer: Level 10 (O EXP needed to level up. To unlock Level 11, Level 11 AR System is required.)
Strength: 67 (Rank ‘S’, maximum potential detected is Rank ‘S’.)
Agility: 61 (Rank ‘S’, maximum potential detected is Rank ‘S’.)
Endurance: 60 (Rank ‘S’, maximum potential detected is Rank ‘S’.)
Neural Reaction: 72 (Rank ‘SS’, maximum potential detected is Rank ‘SS’.)
“I’ve finally broken through.”
Lu Jin looked at his stats and took a deep breath. He was starting to get excited.
After more than a day of intense training, not only did he master the basic sword technique ‘Sword Aurora’, but he also managed to form a slash with his dissipating light-pulse energy.
His innate talents, the Heart of Destruction and Myriad Wishes, had allowed a significant improvement in both his AR system and his basic stats.
However, Lu Jin did not expect that after mastering the basic sword technique ‘Sword Aurora’, the progress of the AR system had finally reached 100%. Now, as long as he spent 1,000 units of memory fragments, the AR system would reach Level 11. From then on, he would be free to travel between cities. He could also officially join the Adventurers’ Association and become a distinguished Junior Adventurer, and enjoy middle-class life in the city.
Even so, Lu Jin had no intention of upgrading his AR system to Level 11.
Compared to the AR system, Lu Jin was more concerned about his four basic stats. It could be said that there was a qualitative change when an Adventurer went from Level 10 to Level 11. That was not only because of the upgrade of the AR system’s software data, but also because the four basic stats would be sublimated. In the situation where the original basic stats were retained, the four basic stats would all be restored to the initial value of the players and reach a new stage.
For example, when a player first became an Adventurer, their body would have an initial value. The ranks of the four basic stats were usually between ‘F’ and ‘E’.
The initial stats would increase with the player’s continuous battle and training until the player reached Level 10. All stats would progress to a very high value.
After a player had reached Level 11, the four basic stats that the player had raised by the time they reached Level 10 would be retained as the hidden basic stats of the player. The class of the Adventurer would be raised from Rookie to Soldier. Then, the four basic stats would be restored to their initial value and the player would have to raise his stats from scratch.
If an Adventurer wanted to go further in the future and have stronger stats at the equivalent class, they would usually think of ways to raise their four basic stats to the theoretical limit. That limit was the evaluation of the potential of the player.
Although his basic stats had reached the corresponding rank due to his continuous practice of sword technique, Lu Jin knew very well that they had yet to reach the theoretical limit.

The maximum score of Rank ‘S’ was 69, but generally speaking, it was impossible to achieve. For example, many people’s potential value was Rank ‘A’, which maximum score was 59, but after reaching a score of 55, they would not be able to progress further.
However, it was obvious that he was still quite far from those values, especially his Agility, Endurance and Neural Reaction. If he was anxious to upgrade his AR system to Level 11, it would only forcibly raise his Adventurer level from Level 10 to Level 11. Then, his class would be changed to Soldier, and all his basic stats would be restored to their initial value. He would no longer have the chance to squeeze out his maximum potential.
“Now that my progress has reached 100%, there’s no need for me to rush to break through. I should spend some time raising my basic stats to the maximum.” Lu Jin was very satisfied as he looked at his four basic stats.
With his basic stats, he was no longer inferior to a player who had just become a Junior Adventurer.
Those were values that he had never seen 400 years ago. If he had such values 400 years ago, he would probably be able to beat himself.
Just as Lu Jin was about to continue practicing his sword technique, there was a series of hurried knocks on the door of the suite.
When he opened the door, he saw Lu Shixue, who was dressed in a light blue sleeveless evening gown with her hair tied up in a bun. She looked like a noble fairy, but her eyes were fixed on Lu Jin with resentment.
“Brother! Do you know what time it is now?” Lu Shixue shouted angrily.
“Isn’t it only 2pm?” Lu Jin looked at the time displayed in the corner of his eyes and asked in puzzlement, “Wasn’t it mentioned that the engagement banquet would officially start at 5pm? It should still be early now.”
“You… You’re simply… an idiot!” Lu Shixue looked at the confused Lu Jin and was speechless. “You’re the main character of the day. The guests have already arrived. Some of them even came early in the morning. You’re good. I don’t know what you’ve been doing alone in the room. Do you know that Sister Xia Qingyao and the rest are already here? Now everyone is curious why you, the male lead of the day, have not appeared. Those who don’t know better would even think that you’re getting married today!”
“I got it. I’ll prepare now.” Lu Jin felt rather awkward when he heard that.
That was the first time he had to deal with something like that. He had been so focused on honing his sword technique and directing the flow of his light-pulse energy that he had completely forgotten that he was the male lead of the banquet today. He had to meet those people downstairs at least.
At that moment, a deep and calm voice came from outside the door.
“Mr Lu, you don’t have to be anxious. This is because Miss intentionally didn’t inform you in advance.” Qin Lianyue walked in slowly and explained unhurriedly, “Miss thought that you might not be used to such a scene, so she wanted to reduce the time for you to deal with the guests as much as possible, especially since there might be some guests with ill intentions today, who might cause trouble for you. You just need to enter the venue with me on time.”
“I’ll have to trouble Miss Qin then.” Lu Jin could not help but admire Xia Qingyao.
She had even thought of a solution to the troubles and problems that he was possibly going to face.
As Xia Qingyao’s right-hand man, Qin Lianyue had an extremely high status in the Fantasy Light Group. As long as Qin Lianyue was by his side, the ordinary employees and descendants of the group wouldn’t dare to trouble him. At the same time, she was also telling all the groups and families in the City of Light that he, the son-in-law of the Xia family, was highly valued.
“It’s no trouble.” Qin Lianyue looked at Lu Jin and shook her head slightly. She said seriously, “In the future, Mr Lu, no, CEO LU will be Miss’s husband. This is what I should
do.”
He then went to the bathroom to wash up before entering the banquet hall under Qin Lianyue’s lead just before 5pm.
Just as Lu Jin appeared, all eyes in the banquet hall turned to him. They sized him up curiously, as if they wanted to see through him.
In a corner of the venue:

A tall and muscular young man who was almost two meters tall and less than 20 years old stared at Lu Jin coldly. “Is he that Lu Jin?”
“That’s right. He’s that Lu Jin.” The middle-aged man with a small mustache next to the young man nodded and said, “His physical potential is extremely high. According to the news we received, this Young Master Lu seems to have a close relationship with Xia Qingyao. Moreover, he’s extremely interested in this goddess of war, Xia Qingyao. The original plan to rope him in is not possible anymore. I reckon that Xia Qingyao will use this opportunity to announce to everyone today that Young Master Lu will be taking over the core logistics department of the group. I’m afraid the rest is up to you.”
That burly young man was the genius, Wang Zhonghu, who was chosen by the four families. He had broken through the Level 10 limit at a young age, and his physical potential was also very high. His Strength and Endurance were both at Rank ‘A’, and his Adventurer level had reached Level 14. His strength was close to that of an Intermediate Adventurer. He was the manager of the logistics department of the group and was in charge of the logistics of the hunting team. He was originally one of the candidates for Xia Qingyao’s fiancé.
However, because of Lu Jin, all the candidates including Wang Zhonghu were eliminated. Wang Zhonghu was indignant about that, but since the four major families wanted to win Lu Jin over, they did not let him cause trouble.
“Don’t worry.” Wang Zhonghu grinned. “He won’t have the face to take over the logistics department of the group. Today, I will show him the wrath of the world!”
