The release of the Fallen Abyss had almost made, above 70% of Guild’s players, to go crazy.

The reason was due to the two items.

[Dark Gem]: When you add Dark Gem during the strengthening of your equipment, you can increase the success rate of strengthening by 10%. At most, 10 gems can be used at once.

[Felsteed]: Gold Mounts, average attributes, and Speed, but it had a skill—Demonification! The Felsteed could turn into Dreadsteed (Battle Mount). Its cooldown time is one day.

The Dark Gem’s effects needed not to be explained—it was that simple and direct! If one had 10 of such gems, the strengthening of their equipment would definitely succeed. Even the most renowned Enchanter, who was Tsundere Phoenix in Sky Provisions Shop, would not have a 100% success rate. There were even situations where some high-level, strengthened equipment had directly broken.

With the Dark Gem, all these problems could be solved! If one could gather enough Dark Gems, then succeeding all the way to maximum strengthening would be no problem at all!

Of course, since the Dark Gem had such a powerful effect, its drop-rate was destined to be extremely low. In addition, the official website had added that all monsters, including normal small monsters in Fallen Abyss, could drop these two items instantly, allowing all experienced gamers to understand what it meant—unless one was extremely lucky, it was impossible for them to be dropped.

Meanwhile, the Felsteed, it made guilds go crazy for it. If they could obtain enough Felsteeds, they could suddenly all transform into Dreadsteed Knights in large-scale battles. Imagine how large their influence on the battle situation could be!

No matter what, the Fallen Abyss had become the focus for everyone.

The fight for the first clear had begun once again! The battle for the first clear this time was even more intense as since the Best Of The Best competition previously, many companies and corporations in real life had invested in the game. Guilds such as Steel Allies and Ironwall Empire had all obtained a huge amount of financial support, so they were all prepared to obtain the first clear to obtain some glory! There was a brief interlude, which should be mentioned, the leader of the Ironwall Empire, The Heavenly Shield, had especially added a sentence when signing the agreement with their guild’s financial group—their guild had to listen to Codename Lone Wolf’s orders when needed. That made people think that it was a funny thing to include, but they also admired The Heavenly Shield for his actions.

“The Fallen Abyss has been released! Potion Maniac put those potions that boss told us to prepare up for sale!” In the Sky Provisions Shop, Seven Ears was utterly exhausted from being so busy. He was even more hardworking than those clearing dungeons. He had been hastily creating Dark Resistance Potions. The effects were simple, which was increasing Dark Resistance. High-Level Dark Resistance Potions could increase one’s Dark Resistance by 50 points for two hours. According to the monsters’ strength, the potion could dispel around 35% Darkness Damage and reduce the Darkness control effects.

That was what Lin Jie had specially ordered for them to do. It was such a good opportunity now, so they had to reap some benefits since the dungeon was released!

The selling price of the Dark Resistance Potions was extremely high, one gold coin per bottle! Although the price of gold coins had decreased, such a selling price was still quite brutal. However, Seven Ears was extremely confident. ‘Not willing to buy? Up to you, there’s only this one shop selling High-Level Dark Resistance Potion, go wherever you like!’

Meanwhile, after obtaining enough potions in the Savage Blade team, they headed towards the dungeon.

Bu Yi, Netherblue, Baili, and Fat Cattle… Their faces were all filled with passion and excitement. It was like without Lin Jie, they could finally show off their abilities—the morale of the whole team was instead boosted!

However, Bu Yi’s face turned serious. Other guilds had obtained a large amount of financial support, and so, their equipment, potions, skills, or levels, had all improved and increased greatly. Meanwhile, Savage Blade had lost its most essential battle power. Although Bu Yi had said such bold words, in the end, she was still very afraid that accidents might happen in this movement initiated by her.

“Bu Yi, are you in a daze?” Charming Smile patted her shoulders. Since Best Of The Best competition, this Elemental Shaman had also joined Savage Blade.

“No, let’s go. Everyone, try your best!” Bu Yi chuckled.

…

At the Crescent Land.

“Shield Cut!” Lin Jie’s Gold longsword shone in golden light as its tip pierced into the pupil of the Seal Guardian vigorously. A sharp Blade Aura exploded.

-102!

—’Your skill [Shield Cut] increased to Level 5.’

Lin Jie checked the attributes of his Level 5 Shield Cut. His attacking damage increased to level 250%, erm, such a sarcastic number1. Meanwhile, the Armor Ignore effect had increased from the original 200 points to 400 points! Now, Bandits with poorer equipment would simply be as if they were not wearing equipment at all under Lin Jie’s skill!

Time passed by minutes and hours as Lin Jie trained his skills non-stop, especially the two skills of Clomaros’ Seven Kills, Chaotic Wind Kill, and Death Ray Kill. Their effects were undoubtedly powerful, but many techniques were not figured out yet.

Such as Chaotic Wind Kill, its principle was using Wind Elements to create space distortion, which resulted in the flow of wind, but it could be controlled to a certain extent. Such as if slashing towards the left, that area of space would be squeezed and thus create a push to the left. Once it could be properly made use of, the driving force of the Chaotic Wind Kill could be compared to a surging tide.

Besides that, skills like Dragon Armor Removal, Blood Soul Multi-Slash, Rebel’s Fight, and so on were all leveled up to Level 5! Chaotic Wind Kill had already reached Level 3. As a skill of the Legendary Mystic Skill Book [Clomaros’ Seven Kills], the difficulty of increasing it was much higher than other skills to a great extent.

Lin Jie released Chaotic Wind Kill. Although the Seal Guardian did not receive any damage, it was still controlled, and it stepped back by half a step. He swung his longsword and used Shield Cut to pierce into its pupils once again!

Ding~

—’Your [Shield Cut] is unable to receive proficiency.’

“Huh?” Lin Jie raised his brow. It looked like the limit of the increase in levels of skills in this map was Level 5! That made sense as he had only stayed for two days in the map, and quite a few skills had already reached as high as Level 5. If it was possible to level up infinitely, just imagine how powerful Lin Jie would become! He would directly be invincible if he had trained for one or two months after he left the map!

However, Lin Jie did not stop there as his two skills, Chaotic Wind Kill and Death Ray Kill, had yet to reach Level 5. Although just raising the levels of those two skills would waste quite a lot of time, it was worth it in the long run!

Presently, players in The New Age could at most raise one skill to Level 5 unless they also had New Age Accomplishment Points! If Lin Jie showed his skill column to others, many would most likely turn pale from fear. Level 5 Rebel’s Fight, Level 5 Death Grip, Level 5 Shield Cut… Just how much of a freak was he to have such a skill level?

Within the Crescent Land, it was difficult to feel the flow of time.

Lin Jie only knew he had to train, train, and train some more! He released all of his skills towards the Seal Guardian in front of him and studied the mysteries of each skill.

These days, besides going offline for the essentials like eating, resting, and training, Lin Jie had spent all of his time in the Crescent Land. Also, just so coincidentally, each time Lin Jie was offline, Ziliang and the others were either sleeping or in-game, so after so many days, Lin Jie had actually had not even spoken to them at all.

With Lin Jie’s personality, he did not think there was anything inappropriate in so crazily increasing one’s skill proficiency, but instead, he seemed to be finding pleasure in it. He would even use his hand like a sword and slash, imitating the skills in the game. Although it may seem quite funny, Lin Jie had learned something from such an unusual point of view.

The body in the game was not his body, so there was bound to be some discomfort when using it. Meanwhile, using the skills in real life felt more natural though one would be able to do many actions in the game, which could not be replicated in real life.

However, such a feeling was extremely delicate and small, so Lin Jie could not understand it. Thus, he did not get to the bottom of it.

Eight days later!

Lin Jie stood on the shoulder of the Seal Guardian with his back slightly hunched from exhaustion, but his eyes were gleaming. Skills like Chaotic Wind Kill and Death Ray Kill from Clomaros’ Seven Kills, Wind Walk, and so on had all reached Level 5!

“Now, it’s time to settle you, big guy!” Lin Jie grinned. His right hand grasped Broken Blade behind him and unsheathed it! Instantly, a silvery-white light ray in the shape of an arc slashed towards the Seal Guardian’s eyes.

Nukitsuke!

-2,039!

A four-digit damage value!

When facing the Seal Guardian, Lin Jie had already gradually understood its mechanism. The higher the skills’ level, the higher the Damage Dealt. The Boss did not have any specific Defense statistics, but when one’s skill level was below Level 4, then its Defense would be close to infinitely high. However, when one’s skill level exceeded Level 5, then its Defense was at most normal.

In Lin Jie’s previous life, the thing that had made the guild, which controlled the Star Elves’ Tomb, conceal so carefully had been this map!

A map that could increase the number of Proficiency Points obtained—the effects were exceptional, so no one would dare mention it.

‘However, the intensity of that map was not as high as now as the speed of obtaining skill proficiency is ten times higher. In my previous life, at most, the speed was two or three times higher. After all, I had come in contact with the Goddess of Moon before being teleported. Meanwhile, they had relied on their guild to overpower and clear the map.’ Lin Jie understood it all clearly as he released Level 5 skills towards the Seal Guardian.

Lin Jie’s throat suddenly swelled up like a toad, and immediately after, he let out a ferocious roar—Outraged Roar! Sound waves vibrated through the air, and the Boss also stopped moving. As his skill level increased, the controlling effect of Outraged Roar had also become more and more obvious.

Chaotic Wind Kill!

Violent Blade Auras surrounded the Boss’ head and forcibly lifted its head! A crisp sound could be heard from its neck, and immediately after, a damage value as high as 3,000 popped up. That was another miraculous usage of Chaotic Wind Kill—condense it, lock onto a certain point, and concentrate it there to deal additional effects.

As skills were released, the Seal Guardian’s health points decreased continuously.

To Lin Jie’s surprise, the Seal Guardian did not use any skills at all—its only attacking method was to stretch out its large hands to grab and squeeze the target to death. Naturally, such a slow attack could not catch Lin Jie, who knew Vanishing Step.

This was the power of the Goddess of Moon.

On second thought, Lin Jie understood the reason. The difficulty of this trial mission was in how one could get close to the Goddess of Moon and deal damage to the Boss.

How difficult was it to get close to the Goddess of Moon? If it were not Lin Jie cooperating with Bu Yi, who knew Ten Shields Spell, most likely, even Lin Jie would not be able to do it, not to mention normal players!

Also, from obtaining “partial rewards from getting close to the Goddess”, it could be seen that the system planned to directly kill the players at that place as that abnormally powerful energy attack by the Seal Guardian would kill any target! Who would have expected that Lin Jie would manage to evade it using Death Ray Kill and enter the current stage?

The other requirement was to deal damage to the Seal Guardian. Lin Jie had stayed for a total of eight days in the Crescent Land while facing the same Boss. Most of one’s attacks would be immuned, so most probably normal people would have given up long ago. Meanwhile, Lin Jie, like a robot that did not know what exhaustion was, had gritted his teeth and kept it up.

Technique and perseverance!

That was what contributed to his success now!

“Die!” Lin Jie roared as he stabbed his Broken Blade ferociously into the Seal Guardian’s pupils.
