Chapter 800 - Movement Speed Cap (1/2)

Magister Lefis watched Nie Yan disappear into the crowd of onlookers. With a dejected sigh, he too left the square. It’d be the last time he showed his face.

News of the duel between Nie Yan and Magister Lefis shocked the entire player base. Defeating a Level 160 NPC Magister was an incredible achievement. Videos of the battle were posted online and rapidly disseminated.

Nie Yan didn’t care for any of this. What interested him was his spoils from the battle.

The movement speed bonuses from Abak’s Vorpal Striders were quite impressive. Nie Yan’s current movement speed was at 1,393. This was three to four times more than ordinary players at his level would have. He truly was one of a kind.

The movement speed cap was 5,000. Normally, no matter how good your equipment was, it was near impossible to reach. However, with Abak’s Vorpal Striders, Nie Yan could achieve just that. All he had to do was raise his normal movement speed to 1,700, and then activate Vorpal Sprint.

Nie Yan couldn’t even imagine that kind of speed.

Movement speed was divided into six different brackets. Below 30 was extremely slow, 30–99 was slow, 100–299 was average, 300–999 was fast, 1,000–2,999 was very fast, 3,000–4,999 was pushing the limits of speed, and 5,000 was the rumoured cap. Nie Yan currently fell into the very fast bracket, putting him far ahead of his peers. As an example, at his current movement speed, he could finish a 100-meter dash in under four seconds.

Speed was the life of a Shadow Dancer. Nie Yan couldn’t imagine how much influence reaching the next two brackets would have on his strength.

With Abak’s Vorpal Striders, Nie Yan now had seven of the eight pieces of the Tyrant Abak Set. Sadly, he hadn’t an inkling of a clue where the eighth and final piece might be located.

Nie Yan watched over the recording of his duel with Magister Lefis. Unlike in the low quality recordings from the onlookers, in his video he could clearly see all of Magister Lefis’ movements. Lefis’ comprehension of mana wasn’t something ordinary players could imagine.

This footage was definitely precious material, showing off a true Magister! Tang Yao, Xie Yao, and the other Magisters still had a lot of room to improve. It would definitely be beneficial to them.

「Guo Huai, I’m sending you some footage. Share it with the Magisters in the guild.」Nie Yan sent the footage of the duel to Guo Huai.「Make sure this doesn’t leak outside.」

Guo Huai was puzzled. Just what kind of footage was this important? He briefly skimmed over the footage before his expression immediately turned serious. Even though it had been a long time since he levelled, ran dungeons, or PvPed, as the executive guild leader of Asskickers United, he could tell this footage was priceless!
