“Look, the kid’s using Bone Spear now, the damage is normal this time, but it’s another Level 6 skill. Isn’t this kid focusing on leveling up his skills instead of his main level?”
“So many Level 6 skills, no wonder he dares to challenge the prodigy dungeon.”
“Holy shit! Is this kid trying to tough it out against the chieftain’s attacks? Does he have a death wish?”
A group of old peepers stared with their eyes wide open at the altar projection, especially at the kid who was boldly withstanding the chieftain’s damage, simultaneously directing skeletons to attack the mage while trading blows with the chieftain—outrageous!
“Is there a possibility that this kid has already calculated the damage, which is why he can take hits head-on?”
He Bai, the headmaster of White Crane Academy, watched as Zi Liyuan kept chugging potions, the health bar bouncing up and down, to the left and right, helplessly suggesting a possibility.
“At least 200+ physical resistance and a health pool of over 10,000. Otherwise, there’s no way he could withstand the Berserk Chieftain.”
The Berserk Chieftain’s damage doubled in its enraged state, but the damage caused by the chieftain’s average attacks was only over 700. Even with a full set of skills hitting, it could only take away half of Zi Liyuan’s life.
“This kid’s got something. Can we find out what equipment he’s wearing?”
“If I could bypass the altar’s rules and influence the dungeon’s operation, do you think I’d still be holed up in Blue Star?”
Headmaster He Bai rolled his eyes and retorted irritably.
“True, waste of a Tier 5 like us only deserves to enjoy life on Blue Star.”
With a collective sigh, the nine old men fell into silence.
Who wouldn’t want to embark on a path to divinity or immortality in the Sea of Realms?
If they had a choice, none of the nine would have their Lord’s Heart sealed and become the ultimate force of the Great Xia Empire on Blue Star.
It’s just that under the rules suppressing Blue Star, normal professionals could only reach Tier 4, Level 100, while they had achieved a special breakthrough to Tier 5, Level 120!
Completely unaware that he was being spied upon and criticized like a monkey show by nine decrepit old men, Zi Liyuan was gritting his teeth while trading blows with the chieftain at that moment.
Shadow Arrow, Shadow Arrow Rain, Bone Tooth, Bone Spear, Spear of Deathkeeping up with cooldowns, he kept bombarding the chieftain with damage numbers in the hundreds.
The continuously summoned Skeleton Knights, on the other hand, launched a fearless group charge at the two-headed ogre mage.
Out of every 32 summoned Skeleton Knights, only about 24 would make it to the boss.
One charge could inflict over 2400 total damage on the mage boss—who didn’t have as high physical resistance as the chieftain.
As for the two-headed ogre mage continuously conjuring spells to attack Zi Liyuan with explosive damage, it was not an issue at all, thanks to the high- quality potions for recovery.
As long as the two bosses couldn’t kill him instantly, he would be able to recover through potion popping!
Thanks to the previous Lao Tie hero bosses for dropping those high-quality potions!
The hero bosses who had been killed: (IM)MMP! We thank your whole family!
The Skeleton Army’s damage output was slightly less than Zi Liyuan’s, but with a little control, they could always keep the health percentage of the two bosses balanced.
Managing the battlefield and fine-tuning the bosses’ health, he brought both bosses’ health down to 1% after two minutes.
The next moment, newly summoned 32 Skeleton Knights launched the final charge at the two-headed ogre mage.
At the same time, Zi Liyuan also finished the casting time for Spear of Death and shot it at the two-headed ogre chieftain from a few feet away.
Instantly, the system prompt began to continuously flood Zi Liyuan’s ears.
[Kill the Two-Headed Ogre Chieftain (Level 40, Hero Boss), Experience +250,000]
[Kill the Two-Headed Ogre Mage (Level 40, Hero Boss), Experience +250,000]
[Obtain equipment: Totem Necklace (Silver) xi, Totem Ring (Silver) xl, Ogre Armor (Blue) xl, Ogre Robe (Blue) xl…]
[Obtain items: Life Potion (Level 40) X20, Mana Potion (Level 40) X20, Magic Blood Potion (Level 40) xio…]
[Material Obtained: Blood of the Two-Headed Ogre Hero (Silver) xio…]
[Congratulations to Zi Liyuan, “Ogre Forest” Level 40 dungeon cleared successfully, beginning reward distribution.]
[You have gained 300,000 experience points.]
[You may stay in the dungeon for ten minutes, or be teleported out immediately.]
Having killed the boss twice, along with the completion reward, another 800,000 experience points were credited, enough for Zi Liyuan to level up again.
However, he didn’t rashly upgrade his profession level but instead turned his attention to his skill list.
Now at Level 6 were skills such as Skeleton Summoning (Variant Enhancement of 9 skills), Skeleton Control, Bone Strengthening, Attack Aura, Bone Spear, Shadow Arrow (Shadow Arrow Rain, Spear of Death Arrow).
Skills that had reached Level 5 were Damage Transfer, Clay Stone Demon, and Stone Demon Control.
The rest of his skills were at Level 1.
Previously, for lack of experience points, it wasn’t possible to level up all these skills.
But now, with the 800,000 experience points gained, it was time to upgrade some skills.
Of course, there was a priority when it came to upgrading skills.
The first tier was definitely skills that could be variant-enhanced by the Nether Crystal Core;
The second tier focused on life-saving skills;
The third tier was on auxiliary and buffing skills;
The fourth tier consisted of other choices, depending on the situation, mainly to fill in one’s own gaps.
Among the three skill trees of the Necromancer, apart from “Elemental Resistance”, “Skeleton Control”, and “Stone Demon Control”, seven other summoning skills could all be variant-enhanced.
However, the four Stone Demon summoning skills, although marked with a ” + ” indicating they could be variant-enhanced, hadn’t been lit up and thus couldn’t be strengthened just yet.
Both “Elemental Skeleton” and “Rebirth” were skills that hadn’t been learned yet, as these are skills that illuminate at second transformation Level 40.
Out of the 10 curse skills, some were tricky, with only “Dark Micro Vision” and “Aging” able to undergo variant enhancement.
The former merely reduced the target’s vision range and was placed in the fourth tier, and the latter was also a skill that lit up at second transformation Level 40.
The skills of the Bone Poison Series, despite being poison-based, none could be variant-enhanced by the Nether Crystal Core. The bone-based skills, however, could all be enhanced into new ones.
But for these bone-based skills, either a massive amount of Spiritual Energy was needed to bring forth new enhanced abilities, or they hadn’t been illuminated and required a second transformation at Level 40 to be learned.
For example, the Bone Spear skill required 250,000 Spiritual Energy for variant enhancement into a new skill—Spear of Death.
Unfortunately, before the skills were enhanced, it was impossible to see the specific skill details.
Zi Liyuan was busy studying the skills while injecting experience points to level up several of them.
Meanwhile, outside on the altar, nine elders were getting somewhat impatient. “What is this kid doing? He’s cleared it and still not coming out?”
“A Necromancer playing clever in the Genius dungeon, it seems we need to make some adjustments.”
“Oh, come on, it’s normal for death class professions to have an edge in dungeons. That’s just a professional feature.”
“Stop fussing, you guys should think about whether to send this kid an invitation card or not.”
“He completed the Level 40 Genius challenge in three days, this kid is a rare talent. Just an invitation card, give it to him!”
“Death class professions, though, have a high betting risk. Last year was a total loss.”
“Since none of you fancy him, White Crane Academy will take the trouble to take this kid in.”
Principal He Bai looked down on the other eight elders with contempt. They were all centuries-old foxes, each pretending to be troubled on the surface, but probably already scheming on how to recruit him.
