All four have reached 80 points. Please select one 80-point primary attribute reward.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【True Strength is the Hunter’s primary attribute. Your True Strength, without gear, has already reached 80 points. The Hunter may choose one of the following rewards.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a. Madman: True Strength +3\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>b. Power Shock: During close-quarters melee combat, inflict shock damage—each shock deals 2% of the enemy’s maximum HP as true damage and has a chance to stun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>c. Muscle Defense: Greatly increase physical defense, enhancing resistance to slashing, blunt, and piercing damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>d. Crimson Shadow (Rare Reward): When injured, for every 10% HP lost, your attack speed +8%, movement speed +8%, and dynamic vision +3%. This effect stacks up to four times. When HP recovers above 95%, the bonuses expire and enter a 20-minute cooldown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the four options, a and c were highly tempting—one boosted True Strength by 3, the other enhanced physical defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Option b was also strong, but unsuitable for Su Xiao—it only triggered during bare-handed melee, not when wielding weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet compared to option d, none of a, b, or c warranted consideration—Su Xiao hadn’t expected the 80-point Strength reward to be this powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Option d wasn’t merely an attribute bonus—it resembled a passive ability forged through prolonged, heavy investment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For every 10% HP lost, gain +8% attack speed, +8% movement speed, +3% dynamic vision, stacking up to four times. At 60% HP, Su Xiao would gain +32% attack speed, +32% movement speed, and +12% dynamic vision—a near-third increase in speed, and a significant boost to dynamic vision, which in close combat ranks second only to neural reflex speed and enhances intuitive perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More valuable still, this bonus had no duration—it persisted as long as Su Xiao’s HP remained below 95%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the very definition of “fighting stronger the more you’re wounded.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao chose option d without hesitation. The moment he selected it, a crimson energy materialized out of thin air and sank into his body, finally settling in his heart, merging with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s heartbeat surged abruptly, then gradually calmed after a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after selecting the Strength attribute reward, the Agility attribute reward appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【True Agility is the Hunter’s primary attribute. Your True Agility, without gear, has already reached 80 points. The Hunter may choose one of the following rewards.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a. Shadow Dancer: While in shadows, gain massive bonuses to stealth-related skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>b. Heart Hunter: Upon piercing an enemy’s heart, this attack has a chance to trigger an instant-kill judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>c. Soul Slice: During close-range attacks, if you successfully breach the enemy’s outer defense and strike their flesh, add “True Agility × 3” as armor-piercing damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time no rare reward appeared, yet the three options left Su Xiao torn—option a was immediately discarded, as it was an assassin’s ability he had no use for; b and c, however, were tailor-made for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One granted instant-kill potential, the other added armor-piercing damage in melee—both with high values, comparable to Qinggangyingsuo’s damage, and crucially, this armor-piercing damage scaled with Agility growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much hesitation, Su Xiao chose option c: Soul Slice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he selected it, a change occurred within him—two unknown forces sank into his arms, then settled. This wasn’t an energy—it was a permanent buff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao gripped his blade’s hilt; the new buff activated instantly, leaving him satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could catch his breath, the Stamina attribute reward appeared—his first-ever Stamina-related reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【True Stamina is the Hunter’s primary attribute. Your True Stamina, without gear, has already reached 80 points. The Hunter may choose one of the following rewards.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a. Steel Bones: Permanent +26 physical defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>b. Vitality: Permanent +20% HP regeneration per minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>c. Giant Physique: Permanent +18% resistance to abnormal effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>d. Unyielding Mountain: After taking damage, blood loss rate reduced by 30%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>e. Tyrant (Rare Reward): Permanent +600 HP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>f. Death Baron (Rare Reward): When wielding a shield-type weapon…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao ignored option f outright—he’d never wield a shield in his life. Real men didn’t carry shields. Shield users were just targets who couldn’t retaliate—pathetic. After obtaining the gold-quality shield, his first thought was to sell it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No deliberation needed for Stamina rewards—Su Xiao chose option e: Tyrant. Now his HP total became terrifying, transforming him into a true close-combat warrior: hard-hitting, tanky, and devastatingly offensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sensation of vitality surged through him—his breathing grew smoother, his organs pulsing with renewed vigor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undeniably, the 80-point attribute rewards were astonishing. With only three rewards acquired, Su Xiao’s combat power had already multiplied several times over—yes, several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even counting the Crimson Shadow from Strength, just Soul Slice from Agility had massively boosted his offense—240 armor-piercing damage was, in many situations, nearly as potent as true damage. Recall that Qinggangyingsuo dealt exactly 240 true damage—its only advantage was higher tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with a single slash, if the enemy was frail, Su Xiao could cut them down outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The +600 HP from Stamina reward greatly enhanced Su Xiao’s survivability—600 HP equated to the HP gain from over 50 points of Stamina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 80-point attribute rewards had not disappointed him. Only Intelligence remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【True Intelligence is the Hunter’s primary attribute. Your True Intelligence, without gear, has already reached 80 points. The Hunter may choose one of the following rewards.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a. Eye of Law: Upon selection, your eyes are transformed into the “Eye of Law,” granting massive bonuses to spellcasting abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>b. Serenity: Enter a state of serenity, shutting down all senses, restoring 1% mana per minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>c. Mana Surge: +500 maximum mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>d. Heart of Nature: Enhance perception ability—greatly boosts meditation and insight-related skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Option a was instantly discarded—Su Xiao had no use for the Eye of Law; he couldn’t even learn spell-based skills. Options b, c, and d, however, left him conflicted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mana regeneration, maximum mana increase, and enhanced perception—all were valuable to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first two offered immediate benefits; the latter concerned his future growth. Su Xiao suspected the Heart of Nature might enhance his understanding of sword techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao consulted the Paradise of Reincarnation, asking whether the Heart of Nature enhanced insight into sword techniques. The Paradise of Reincarnation’s reply was unnervingly “thoughtful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【To inquire about this information, pay 100,000 Park Coins…】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. The exorbitant fee confirmed his suspicion—he chose option d, reluctantly forsaking b and c.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admittedly, Su Xiao’s sword technique was formidable, but its rapid growth had left gaps in his deeper understanding. The Heart of Nature filled that void—an invisible advantage, yet one that genuinely strengthened him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1115,"2026-06-19T23:49:56.324Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ca299a05e44eec6730bdaf4949b2d57c51863d8435e475f9e82c996cbd9a4fe5","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-975","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-973",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
