《Starting in an Online Game With 3000 Death Soldiers》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Year 2100. Planet Aquamarine, New North City¡¯s No. 4 High School. On the leveled school field. The students from each class lined up in an orderly manner and walked towards the huge round house in front of them. ¡°Jack, the Talent Awakening is about to begin. How exciting!¡± A young man who didn¡¯t look very big chatted nonstop. From how he was constantly twisting his limbs and his words, one could tell that he was very nervous. In particular, he was originally a chatterbox. At the moment, he chatted incessantly. ¡°60 years ago, when the Divine Realm game descended, humans were able to awaken their talents in the game!¡± ¡°50 years ago, the Divine Realm game mutated and fused with reality. The abilities in the game could be reflected in reality.¡± ¡°Two years later, a huge change occurred above the sky. The outer realms tried to invade Planet Aquamarine by creating wormholes, but they were defeated by the combined forces of the Human Race and the Heavenly Realm!¡± ¡°45 years ago, in order to defend against the invaders from the outer realms, the Heavenly Realm Federation ordered the establishment of a Guardian University. Through the college entrance examination, they recruited talented and powerful students and groomed them to become Guardians, so as to provide fresh blood for the front line.¡± ¡°Save it. It¡¯s not like we¡¯re preparing for a history exam right now. It¡¯s almost our turn.¡± Jack rubbed his forehead as he interrupted his friend Mike¡¯s nagging. He was really afraid of Mike¡¯s incessant chatter. He could understand Mike¡¯s nervousness. In this era, most young people would be nervous, afraid, expectant, and excited before awakening their talents. They looked forward to obtaining a powerful talent, but were also worried that their talent would be too useless. Compared to them, Jack appeared especially calm. He was a transmigrator from Earth. His experience as an adult in his previous life prevented him from showing his emotions. Jack was very glad to discover that his good looks had not changed because of his transmigration. He followed the line to the end. ¡°Year Three (3) Class, Jack!¡± Hearing the teacher¡¯s call, Jack hurried up to the front. After the teacher verified his identity, he was given a helmet which gave off a sci-fi aura. Jack read about this equipment in the textbook. It was used for talent awakening. If one entered the Divine Realm without this helmet, they would forever lose the right to awaken their talent. Any normal person would not enter the Divine Realm without awakening their talent. Because that would be too much of a loss. If one didn¡¯t awaken their innate talent, they would have to struggle at the bottom of the human race. After all, this era was not like 60 years ago. Playing games was the only way to gain power. Jack took the helmet from the teacher and slowly put it on. The teacher reminded him. ¡°You might feel a little dizzy and nauseous entering the Divine Realm for the first time.¡± Right after the teacher spoke, Jack suddenly felt his vision go black as a sense of weightlessness swept through his body. It was as if he was doing a high altitude bungee jump. Time passed. The sense of weightlessness gradually disappeared. Jack opened his eyes, only to see an illusory transparent space in front of him. There were many mysterious symbols floating in space. This place was also called the Starting Ground and Creation Space, and there were numerous names in the textbooks. But that was not important! Jack looked around. Sure enough, an ethereal voice sounded. ¡°Welcome, adventurer.¡± ¡°Begin to draw talent!¡± The voice was emotionless and mechanical. ¡°Drawing Grade B Talent [Growth]: Every time you level up, 5 attribute points will be converted to 6 Physical attribute points equally divided.¡± ¡°Grade B Talent? Growth?¡± Jack was disappointed. He originally thought that he would be able to obtain a talent that could increase Strength or Attack. At the very least, he would be able to protect himself in this world. However, the information he received after his talent awakened made him somewhat disoriented. Growth? Every time he leveled up, 5 attribute points would be converted to 6 Physical attribute points equally divided? What was this? Jack had learned in school that every time he leveled up in the game, he would get 5 attribute points and 1 skill point. Players could freely add attribute points to their five-dimensional attributes. However, his talent [Growth] took this flexibility away, and added to his Physical attribute! Jack felt his character was a dud. What kind of useless talent was this?! Character attributes were divided into: Strength, Intelligence, Defense, Agility, and Luck! Among them, Strength, Defense, and Agility were the Physical Attributes. They corresponded to the Attack and Defense attribute bonuses, and the upper limit of Health Points. The increase in Intelligence represented the increase in Magic Attack, and Spirit was the upper limit of MP. Luck unknown. Jack hadn¡¯t learned about it in classes before, and he wondered that maybe he¡¯d have to go to college to get the appropriate knowledge. The Physical Attributes mentioned in [Growth] referred to Strength, Agility, Defense, and other related occupations such as Warriors, Hunters, Assassins, Shield Envoys. Jack¡¯s original plan was to become a Mage! After all, any man would have the dream of becoming a Wizard. Most importantly, in this world, Strength in the game could be brought to reality. With a wave of his hand, the destruction of the world was no longer a dream. Mages had the most Area of Effect damage skills, and they were the fastest to level up! This was too important for an orphan like him. Jack understood the importance of that! Before transmigrating, he was already a high-leveled mage! However¡­ None of this had anything to do with him anymore. It was as if the time had come. After obtaining his talent, Jack was forced to exit the Starting Ground directly. Jack slowly put down his helmet and looked very dispirited. Seeing this, the teacher knew that the awakening of this student¡¯s talent was not so ideal. He stepped forward and scanned the helmet, identifying Jack¡¯s talent level. Grade B? The teacher consoled him, ¡°A Grade B talent is already quite good. Good luck!¡± ¡°Thanks,¡± Jack replied. The teacher nodded and said, ¡°Next.¡± ¡°Year Three (3) Class, Mike!¡± Mike walked forward and started awakening his talent. Only Jack remained beside. Recalling his previous life, he realized that even after coming to this world, he was still so ordinary. Even in this magical world, he was trapped with such an ordinary talent. With this in mind, Jack immediately cursed. Damn it, God, you sent me to this world and yet you made me so mediocre. Why did you let me transmigrate here?! One should know that this world was not that peaceful. The evil gods, monsters, and great terrors were all staring at Planet Aquamarine through the wormhole in the sky. Being weak here was a sin! Without a good talent, where should he go? Jack felt very lost. Suddenly, a cold and loud voice rang in his ears. ¡°Ding-dong! Congratulations on binding the Divine Talent System.¡± [3000 Death Soldiers have been awarded!] ??? Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Divine Talent System?¡± Jack was stunned by the sudden noise. He raised his head and looked around. The people around him were still busy with their own matters. People continued to queue up to awaken their talents. Even the teachers in charge did not notice this sudden voice. At this moment, a virtual panel suddenly appeared in front of Jack. There were many words on it, and his name was displayed on top clearly, ¡°Jack.¡± There was more information below. Host: Jack System: Divine Talent System Level: 1 (0 / 100) Owned: 3,000 Death Soldiers Death Soldiers Point: 0 As Jack¡¯s attention was focused on the 3,000 Death Soldiers, another interface popped up. Name: Death Soldiers Quantity: 3000/3000 Talent: 100% loyalty, Facing death with equanimity, Do or die, Payback. 100% loyalty: As a Death Soldier, and the Host¡¯s most trustworthy soldier, no matter how difficult the situation is, the Host¡¯s orders are above all else! Facing death with equanimity: Any order issued by the Host will be regarded as an existence more important than life. Do or die: Death Soldiers will do their best to carry out all the orders. Their overall attributes will be increased by three times. Payback: The Host will receive additional EXP from the Death Soldiers¡¯ kills. Current Payback Index: 1% [Reminder: Death Soldiers have the same function as players in Divine Realm, including resurrection. However, if they die in real life, Death Soldiers Points will be returned to the Host.] Jack was stunned. He was shocked by this Death Soldiers¡¯ talent. The four talents did not seem to be of much use to the Death Soldiers. But these were Death Soldiers. It was created by the system, and all the talents existed for the purpose of serving their Host. 100% loyalty to the Host! And they would do their best to carry out the Host¡¯s orders! Who else could the Host be? Needless to say! Of course, it was Jack! Jack did not doubt the appearance of the system. In his previous life, he had read many system-type novels. He had been looking forward to such a system. Now that the legendary system has appeared before him, and even gave him 3,000 Death Soldiers! What could be more trustworthy than these Death Soldiers? At the same time, they had the talent Do or Die! As long as he gave the order, their attributes would triple! How terrifying was that? When they had to face the enemy and the enemy looked down on them, he just had to give the order. The Death Soldiers who were originally like sheep would immediately transform into wolves and charge towards the enemy! At the thought of this, Jack felt his heart race! What amazed Jack the most was the tip at the bottom. The Death Soldiers could actually enter Divine Realm to fight monsters and level up like the players? And they could even be resurrected like normal players? Didn¡¯t this mean that he had 3,000 free employees working for him? This was good news! Combined with the talent Payback! Jack felt it was extremely amazing. Originally, he could only choose the Physical occupations. Because of his [Growth] talent, he could only become a warrior with balanced Physical attributes. The idea of leveling up to catch up with those who had advanced talent was like a fool¡¯s errand. But if he managed his 3,000 Death Soldiers soldiers well, not only would his level increase far beyond that of ordinary people, he would also be able to have the combat power of a 3,000 people who was only loyal to him! Jack felt as if he had seen a glimpse of hope. Although there were many things that he didn¡¯t know about the system, it didn¡¯t affect him. At this moment, Jack wanted to quickly go home to enter Divine Realm and lead his 3,000 Death Soldiers to battle! At the same time, his good friend Mike¡¯s talent was awakened. Just by looking at his face that seemed to be scrunched up together, he knew that the awakening of his talent did not go smoothly. As expected, Mike was slightly more unlucky and awakened his Grade C talent. ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s over now. There¡¯s no hope in going to Guardian University.¡± On the way home, Mike said with disappointment. ¡°Jack, your combat and cultural classes are above 90 points, and your talent is better than mine. Have you thought about going to Guard University?¡± His tone was filled with envy. Guardians were commonly known as ¡°Guards¡±. The Guards University that Mike mentioned was the Guardian University! As an existence that protected humans, it was extremely difficult for the guards to obtain their identity. To apply to the Guardian University, the college entrance examination results were crucial. Once one entered the Guardian University and became a guardian, their status would be significantly different from ordinary families. Even the lowest level guardians had high social status and enjoyed extremely good benefits! Even without doing anything, the monthly allowance would be quite a lot. After graduation, even if they didn¡¯t fight in the front-line at the outer realm, companies were very willing to recruit students who graduated from Guardian University. ¡°I haven¡¯t thought about it yet. After all, the college entrance examination is three months away. We¡¯ll talk about it when the time comes.¡± Jack had the Divine Talent System, he didn¡¯t have much need to enter Guardian University. He wanted to go home earlier and enter the ¡°Divine Realm¡±. ¡°I see. See you then. See you tomorrow.¡± After they parted, Jack hurried home. After having dinner alone, he opened the virtual game cabin and sat inside. Ever since he transmigrated here, Jack had always been alone. His parents had died early in the battle at the front-lines, and he didn¡¯t even have a single relative. He relied on his bank¡¯s savings and his parents¡¯ death compensation for a living. ¡°Divine Realm, initiating¡­¡± ¡°Creating an account now. Please enter ID¡­¡± Jack couldn¡¯t help thinking. Once the 3,000 Divine Talent System brought by his Divine Talent System was launched in the ¡°Divine Talent System¡±, it would definitely attract a lot of attention. Just that skill alone was enough to attract attention. Three times the increase in all attributes! Especially when 3,000 players had the same skill. Just standing there was terrifying. Therefore, Jack felt that there was a need to create a resounding name! ¡°ID: Legion.¡± ¡°ID creation successful.¡± ¡°Please choose your occupation from the following occupations: Warrior, Mage, Hunter, Assassin, Priest, Shield Envoys.¡± Jack was actually prepared. Without thinking, he decided on his occupation. ¡°Shield Envoys!¡± Among the six basic professions, Jack felt that this was the most suitable for him. It was not because he was afraid of death. As a warrior with balanced Physical attributes, whether it was a Warrior with Strength, an Assassin with Strength and Agility, or a Hunter with unconventional swordplay, he could not choose those occupations. If he did, he would not be able to inflict any damage. Rather than being neither fish nor fowl, he might as well choose to be a Shield Envoy. No matter how he added points to his Physical attributes, as long as he raised his shield, no one could hit him. This reminded Jack of a Japanese cartoon he had seen in his previous life. The female lead in it had done this, and in the end, she became ¡°God¡±! Maybe it would be the same for him? Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Creation successful¡­¡± ¡°Enter game¡­¡± An attribute panel appeared in front of Jack¡¯s eyes. ID: Legion Level: Lv 1 Occupation: Trainee Shield Envoy HP: 240 / 240 MP: 100 / 100 Talent: Growth Attributes: Strength 5, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5, Defense 12, Agility 2, Luck 1 Skills: Shield Up Lv1 Shield Up Lv1: Instant cast. Raise your shield to block 112 (100+12) damage from the front, and deal damage to the attacker¡¯s own defense attribute. No Cooldown period. Consumes 5 MP. Jack had checked the game guides before logging into the Divine Realm. Although the main focus was on the Mage¡¯s strategy, he knew some information about the Shield Envoy. The Shield Envoy did not have any offensive skills. However, it had a higher Defense and Health Points than other occupations. Especially after entering the ¡°Divine Realm¡±, he would have to face the most shoddy novice dungeon. After all, Shield Envoys did not have any offensive skills. Other than Shield Up, he could only use normal attacks to deal damage. Every dungeon in the Divine Realm had a recorded reward. According to the evaluation rewards for each stage, the higher the evaluation, the better the reward. This was especially true for novice dungeons, which had the lowest level of rewards. It was the love of all new players entering ¡°Divine Realm¡±, but at the same time it was the most difficult! Only level 1 beginner players would be able to display their potential in such dungeons. This was also the reason why so few people chose to be Shield Envoys. Because in such a dungeon, Shield Envoys were usually either beaten to death by the other party, or attacked for a period of time until their mental state exploded. To this day, the number of Shield Envoys was the least in ¡°Divine Realm¡±! ¡°Novice dungeon starting, [Killer Ghosts].¡± Dungeon: Killer Ghost Objective: Survive for 10 minutes under the attack of Killer Ghosts, and kill one. Reward: Black Iron Treasure Chest With a flash of light, Jack appeared on a grassland. A ruin laid before him. The shabby hut and the broken building portrayed how dilapidated this place was. It seemed that the exit of the ruins was the spawn point for the Killer Ghosts! Jack was sure of it. After all, there was nothing around other than grassland and ruins. He had to stay here and resist multiple waves of attacks from the Killer Ghosts for ten minutes until the mission was completed. With a strange light, the first wave of Killer Ghosts spawned. Jack¡¯s pupils shrank. He did not expect the monsters to spawn so quickly! The System immediately summoned the Death Soldiers. ¡°Summon Death Soldiers to ¡®Divine Realm¡¯?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Jack quickly confirmed, because the Killer Ghosts were about to spawn. He had to hurry. After all, his original plan was to summon 3,000 Death Soldiers to help him level up. ¡°Host¡¯s summoning request has been confirmed. Host, please choose occupation!¡± ¡°Can I actually choose their occupations?¡± Jack was very surprised! Was it that flexible? He immediately began allocating. There were a total of 3,000 Death Soldiers! In order for them to have better joint combat in the future, Jack allocated in this manner. 300 Shield Envoy, 600 Warriors, 600 Mages, 450 Assassins, 450 Hunters, 600 Priests. As pure physical-based occupations, Warriors and Shield Envoys were ranked first on the front line. Hence, there should be a substantial number of those. As Shield Envoys did not have many attack skills, he only needed 300. If they were to fight in a team, it was already quite a lot to have 300 MTs. Additionally, he allocated 600 to be Warriors to take down the enemy with Shield Envoys. Assassins and Hunters would kill fleeing enemies on both sides of the team. Because Mages needed a Cooldown period between their skills, and a large amount of MP was required to use their skills, they were arranged to be at the back. There were 600 Priests and 600 Mages. They were the lifeline of the front-line combatants. As long as their Health Points were below 50%, they would be healed immediately. In addition to a large group battle, they could also form 300 groups consisting of one Shield Envoy, two Warriors, two Mages, two Priests and 10 Hunters and Assassins. After choosing, Jack began the summoning. They did not appear from the light like how the monsters spawned in the game ¡°Divine Realm¡±. Just like teleportation, a group of people dressed in all kinds of clothes appeared on the empty ground. However, they were all dressed in black. When they appeared, the Killer Ghosts had just spawned. Killer ghost (Level 1) Health: 100 Attack: 20 Defense: 0 Guide suggestion: Find a hidden place to hide for the first 10 minutes to avoid a direct confrontation with the opponent. After 10 minutes, after the Killer Ghosts start searching in all directions, use your skills to instantly kill a Killer Ghost and complete the mission immediately. ¡°Divine Realm¡± was very considerate towards newbies and gave suggestions directly. It had very little HP, but its attack was very strong. Just Level 1 attack was 20 points! One should know that on the panel of basic players, even the most powerful Assassin only had 12 attack! One could imagine how it was like for the other occupations. Jack looked at the attributes of the Killer Ghost and then looked at his own attributes. He could not help but smile bitterly. What a f*cking scum! If he were to face the Killer Ghosts alone, he would probably be beaten to death in the first round. After a brief lag, the newly spawned Killer Ghosts charged straight at Jack. There were 200 to 300 of them. Even though Jack had 3,000 people on his side, the other party did not hesitate at all when attacking. In an instant, one of them came to the nearest Death Soldiers and slashed him ruthlessly! Jack was startled by what he saw. The Death Soldier who was slashed was a Shield Envoy. Even though he was slashed, he only looked at Jack. It was as though he wasn¡¯t the one who had just been slashed, and that he was just waiting for something. From the other party¡¯s eyes, Jack could see that apart from the inexplicable enthusiasm, there was great devotion! Jack¡¯s mouth couldn¡¯t help but twitch. How f*cking loyal was he? Aren¡¯t you the one being slashed? Jack was really shocked by the other party. He looked at the Killer Ghosts who were right in front of him. He hurriedly calmed down and shouted, ¡°Counterattack! Quickly counterattack! Annihilate the opponent!¡± Jack was very loud, but it was clearly not loud enough for all 3,000 Death Soldiers to hear him. However, following Jack¡¯s words, all the Death Soldiers were like robots that had been entered with the correct password. They were filled with excitement! It was as if they were cheering, everyone jumped for joy. Even the Shield Envoy who was about to be slashed again, casually whipped out a short sword with bright light and fiercely stabbed into the throat of the Killer Ghost! -45! The strength of this Shield Envoy was so great that it actually lifted the opponent with a short sword and threw him out fiercely. Holy sh*t!!! Jack was stunned by the shocking damage! However, before he could recover from his shock. All the Death Soldiers beside him seemed to have gone berserk as they charged towards the Killer Ghosts amidst the shouts! The Warriors slashed with their swords. The Mages rained fireballs at the enemies. In less than ten seconds, more than a hundred Killer Ghosts were wiped out! ??? ¡®You said there are a few hundred Killer Ghosts? That¡¯s a lie, isn¡¯t it?¡¯ Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios As the first wave of Killer Ghost was easily dealt with, Jack leveled up from Level 1 to Level 4. The Death Soldiers had all leveled up to Level 3! Jack couldn¡¯t help but think. There were only a few Killer Ghosts. However, he had 3,000 Death Soldiers! No matter how he looked at it, the EXP from the monsters were not enough. With this doubt, Jack asked the System. [Notification: The EXP gained from killing enemies is based on the Host¡¯s level mechanism.] ¡°Do you mean that they will level up as much as me?¡± [Notification: Affirmative] After getting an affirmative answer from the system, Jack felt that something was wrong again. Because he had leveled up to Level 4, one level higher than the Death Soldiers. The system answered Jack¡¯s question directly. [Notification: The Death Soldiers¡¯ Payback will not be counted into the increase in level] Hearing the system¡¯s reply, Jack was enlightened. In other words, the EXP gained from the Death Soldiers could only be used to increase the level of the Host. To think that he had even fantasized about sharing all the EXP. Wouldn¡¯t he have a large army that could rapidly level up then?! Because of his Growth, Jack leveled up to Level 3 and obtained a total of 18 attribute points and three skill points. 18 attribute points were added equally to Strength, Defense, and Agility. Jack felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do. He would save the remaining three skill points for future use. Jack checked the attributes of his Death Soldiers. He realized that the corresponding attributes had been added. ID: None Level: Lv 3 Occupation: Trainee Warrior HP: 400 / 400 MP: 300 / 300 Talent: 100% loyalty, Facing death with equanimity, Do or die, Payback. Attributes: Strength 20, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5, Defense 10, Agility 5 Skill: Slash Lv3 ¡­ ID: None Level: Lv 3 Occupation: Trainee Mage HP: 300 / 300 MP: 300 / 300 Talent: 100% loyalty, Facing death with equanimity, Do or die, Payback. Attributes: Strength 5, Intelligence 20, Spirit 10, Defense 5, Agility 5 Skills: Fireball Lv.3 ¡­ ID: None Level: Lv 3 Occupation: Trainee Shield Envoy HP: 740 / 740 MP: 300 / 300 Talent: 100% loyalty, Facing death with equanimity, Do or die, Payback. Attributes: Strength 5, Intelligence 5, Defense 27, Agility 2 Skills: Shield Up Lv3 ¡­ After looking through all the occupations. From the current attributes panel, it was obvious that Do or die had not been activated. Jack realized that the points were added to the limit of all the Death Soldiers¡¯ occupations. This saved Jack a lot of trouble. As the spawn point continued to flash, the second wave of Killer Ghosts charged toward them again. However, there were only 10 Killer Ghosts this time. They were all killed as required by the mission requirements. The ones that were spawned later were all wiped out, but the number was much higher than before. But it was much less than the initial spawn. They were quickly wiped out. The third wave¡­ Fourth wave¡­ As time passed, the sixth wave was eliminated. Jack leveled up again. lv4 ~ lv5. He kept his skill points again. The Death Soldiers also leveled from lv3 to lv 4. With the added points, they became stronger. ¡°Ten minutes have passed. Current mission completion Grade-A, ready for submission.¡± Grade-S was currently the highest record in the novice dungeon. But Jack, who had 3,000 Death Soldiers, was not satisfied with the grade. He wanted to surpass the record and reach a new height. The previous six waves of Killer Ghosts had been wiped out without much effort by Jack and his Death Soldiers. As long as he continued killing the Killer Ghosts, he would be able to obtain a higher evaluation and a better reward. Jack decided to continue. He could still get a higher evaluation! The seventh wave of Killer Ghosts spawned. The newly spawned Killer Ghosts were obviously much stronger than the previous waves. Not just in terms of appearance, but also in terms of data. They were no longer as dull and reckless in their attacks as they were before. Instead, they appeared to be well-trained, like a true expert! Elite Killer Ghost (Level 5) Health: 400 Attack: 150 Defense: 50 They were indeed Elites. Their ability far exceeded that of ordinary Killer Ghosts. The basic attack alone dealt at least 150 damage, not to mention critical damage. There were quite a number of them too. The first wave of Elite-levels had a total of 50 Killer Ghosts. This was five times more than the number of Killer Ghosts in the second wave, and they were stronger! If the Death Soldiers fought the Killer Ghosts fought each other with their basic attributes, the Death Soldiers would be killed in no time. The distance between the two of them was not far. The moment the Killer Ghosts spawned, they charged over. Jack was not flustered. He shouted immediately, ¡°Destroy them!¡± Following Jack¡¯s orders. The talent Do or die was activated. The overall attributes of the Death Soldiers tripled! Jack looked over at the front line of the battle. It was the battlefield of Shield Envoys and Warriors! ID: None Level: Lv 4 Occupation: Trainee Warrior HP: 1200 / 1200 MP: 400 / 400 Talent: 100% loyalty, Facing death with equanimity, Do or die, Payback. Attributes: Strength 60, Intelligence 15, Spirit 15, Defense 30, Agility 15 Skill: Slash Lv3 ¡­ ID: None Level: Lv 4 Occupation: Trainee Shield Envoy HP: 2220 / 2220 MP: 400 / 400 Talent: 100% loyalty, Facing death with equanimity, Do or die, Payback. Attributes: Strength 15, Intelligence 15, Spirit 15, Defense 81, Agility 6 Skills: Shield Up Lv3 Looking at the attributes in front of him, Jack smiled happily. Threefold increase in all attributes! Who else would be able to do this? When the 20 elite Killer Ghosts were surrounded by 900 people in the front line, the Death Soldiers at the back immediately stopped attacking. Because there was no need for them to continue attacking. The 50 Killer Ghosts were surrounded by the burly men. They looked at the Death Soldiers¡¯ fervent smiles and felt a chill run down their backs. What was it like to have 900 muscular men look at you with a fanatical expression? All Jack wanted to say was: Happy, would you understand? Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Jack wasn¡¯t sure if these elites were happy or not. But he was happy. Looking at the elite Killer Ghosts who were being wiped out one by one, yet there were no casualties among the Death Soldiers! After the seventh wave ended, the eighth wave followed closely behind. Jack finally understood why those powerhouses back then only had an Grade-S rating. The spawn rate was too fast! And each wave was faster than the last! From the short interval between each wave to the waves with almost no interval. Although Jack was not directly involved in the battle, he also clearly understood the increase in difficulty through the intervals. From the initial 10 seconds to the 30 seconds, the time difference was the difficulty. Of course, the seventh wave only still involved the 900 people in front. The Mages, Priests, Hunters, and Assassins behind them were not involved! Jack was confident he would make it to the end and receive the highest evaluation. After spending 40 seconds to kill all the Killer Ghosts in the eighth wave, the ninth wave arrived almost at the same time. If it wasn¡¯t because of the Divine Talent System, Jack would have been trashed by these elite Killer Ghosts. As the ninth wave of Killer Ghosts charged forward, they were once again surrounded by the 900 strong men at the front line. About 50 seconds later, the Death Soldiers sent them to their graves. Jack frowned slightly. This time, the difficulty level increased. It actually took 50 seconds. Next was the tenth wave! ¡°Assassinator appears!¡± Jack¡¯s current dungeon evaluation had also reached Grade-SS! As long as he killed this Assassinator, he would be able to obtain a perfect Grade-SSS rating! Assassinator (Level 15) Health: 40,000 Attack: 450 Defense: 200 Skills: Cold Blood Strike, Fatal Breakthrough Cold Blood Strike: Assassinator deals double damage to the target. Cooldown: 30 seconds. Fatal Breakthrough: Assassinator will instantly release a powerful force and charge forward to deal 500 points of damage. Cooldown: 30 seconds. (Note: As long as everyone is killed, it will be a real assassination!!!) The Assassinator was not much taller than the average Killer Ghost, but dangerous aura emitting from his body was much stronger than all the monsters before! His gaze was like two sharp knives stabbing everyone! This was a powerful enemy! The Shield Envoys closest to him raised their big shields and approached him. They surrounded the Assassinator. The Warriors were not to be outdone. They raised their longswords and attacked. However, before their longswords could touch the Assassinator, they were kicked back. The Warriors who originally had 1200 HP actually lost 600 HP! The Assassinator jumped around the Shield Envoys continuously. With each attack, more than 300 warriors were kicked out of the encirclement within 10 seconds. Their HP were also half gone. The close combat warriors were no match at all. It was too fast! Jack did not have a chance to react! As expected of a ruthless person who could assassinate everyone and become a worthy Assasinator! Jack deeply agreed with the other party¡¯s summary! But he was merely a monster of the Divine Realm! Jack ordered them to attack together! The Death Soldiers who had been on standby started moving. The Priests continuously healed the injured players. The Shield Envoys raised their big shields and slowly shrunk the encirclement. The Assassinator used his skills frequently. Even though his skills could wipe out one or two Shield Envoys, another Shield Envoy would appear immediately to fill up for the one who was gone! The Shield Envoys had more than 2000 HP and the shield provided the effect of reducing damage, even Assassinator did not know how to get rid of them completely! The Assassinator had powerful single-target damage. If he could not deal single-target damage? The strength of the group was immediately revealed at this moment. Even the powerful Assassinator could only be restrained within the encirclement! Mages¡¯ Fireballs, Hunters¡¯ Snipe, Assassins¡¯ Flying Daggers! -200! -100! -260! -200! All the long-range attacks were used on the opponent. Within a short period of time, the Assassinator was covered in wounds. His HP dropped rapidly because the Assassinator did not have any HP regeneration skills. At this moment, Jack had the upper hand! If the Assassinator could speak, he would definitely say, ¡°If you have the guts, let¡¯s fight one-on-one!¡± Jack would smile and say to his opponent, ¡°Sure, let¡¯s fight one-on-one!¡± Sure, we¡¯ll fight you one group against one of you! Was there a need to fight you one-on-one when I have so many people? Only a fool would do such a foolish thing. When the opponent gradually became dispirited and his HP was almost depleted, Jack directly summoned a Mage beside him to shot a small fireball at him, knocking him to the ground. The Assassinator had finally died. ¡°You have killed an Assassinator and gained 5,000 EXP!¡± Jack had heard this voice countless times. The Death Soldiers was just like Jack¡¯s talent. It was as if Jack was the one responsible for the kills of the Death Soldiers. ¡°Congratulations on leveling up, lv 5 ~ lv10!¡± ¡°Completed [Killer Ghosts] novice dungeon, concluding¡­¡± ¡°Dungeon completion: Grade-SSS! Obtained reward¡­¡± Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Dungeon completion: Grade-SSS!¡± ¡°Reward: Legendary Item [Rule Refinement]!¡± After killing the Assassinator, Jack gained a lot. This was the first SSS grade completion in the history of Divine Realm! Although it was just a novice dungeon, the returns were extremely rewarding. ¡°Rule Refinement: After binding, you can obtain passive [Rank Power].¡± A pocket-sized crystal pedestal appeared in Jack¡¯s hand, just like the Lotus Pedestal of the Goddess of Mercy from his previous life. However, this pedestal was far more magnificent. There were strange, unknown patterns carved on it. Jack felt that there should be something on this pedestal. ¡°Bind!¡± The pocket-sized crystal pedestal turned into a soft beam of light and merged into Jack¡¯s body. He closed his eyes subconsciously. An indescribable aura emanated from Jack¡¯s body and disappeared not long after. Jack opened his eyes. His demeanor had become mysterious. It felt like he was facing nature¡¯s tranquility and the vastness of the starry sky. It was unfathomable. After a while, he felt a terrifying aura that sent a chill up people¡¯s spines. It was as if a great fear had descended upon the world, making everyone around feel horrified. Mysterious~ Rank Power: Immune to 10% of basic and elemental damage. When attacking, ignore 10% of the opponent¡¯s defense. Advancement Requirement: Level 100 (10 / 100) Advancement Effect: Immune to 10% of basic and elemental damage. When attacking, the opponent¡¯s defense is decreased by 10%. Immune to 10% of basic and elemental damage? 666! This skill seemed to have been made to measure for the Shield Envoy. Ignore defense? Isn¡¯t it critical damage then? Seeing Rank Power¡¯s introduction, Jack was overjoyed. He was more surprised than if he had found treasures at the flea market. As a Shield Envoy, Jack did not have many attack skills. The only skill he had was Shield Up. And only through inflicting damage to the opponent¡¯s own defensive attribute value by means of counter-injury. He was already Level 10! Because that damn talent ¡°Growth¡±. His Defense was only a little more than 30! It was not even as high as the attributes of his Death Soldiers! The blessing of Rank Power was not much, but its effects were too advantageous. And its future growth would definitely be very high! Perhaps his current level was too low. But Jack had not used his 10 Skill Points. He was looking forward to being able to obtain a suitable skill to utilize them! The Assassinator dropped a golden treasure chest. ¡°Do you want to open the golden treasure chest?¡± Treasure Chests were divided into Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Legendary. It was the same for equipment, items, and skill books. ¡°Successfully opened!¡± ¡°Obtained Gold Skill Book: [World¡¯s Favor]¡± World¡¯s Favor lv1: After activation, the user will have an additional blessing status. Defense will increase by 200 with 10% Magic Damage Immunity. Consumes 5 MP. Can¡¯t you give me a damage skill? Jack felt like crying. This skill was very practical, and would be very useful after it was fully upgraded. Coupled with the 10% damage immunity of Rank Power, once the World¡¯s Favor was activated, the damage dealt to him by the Mage would be reduced by 20%! That was a fifth of the damage. Once one reached a higher level, one could imagine how much damage they would be immune to. Furthermore, the skill book [World¡¯s Favor] had once been sold for 10 million in the Trading Center. The 10% Magic Immunity was the bane of Mages! After thinking for a while, Jack didn¡¯t hesitate and directly used his Skill Points for the Skill Book. ¡°Learn World¡¯s Favor!¡± Jack had the Divine Talent System, and he had 3000 Death Soldiers by his side. This was a powerful force. However, his own strength was not that good. Perhaps, he might become a powerful being in the future. But before that, he needed to protect himself and raise his strength as soon as possible. Jack obtained a total of 10 Skill Points from Level 1 to Level 10. He added these 10 Skill Points to World¡¯s Favor. World¡¯s Favor lv10: After activation, the user will have an additional blessing status. Defense will increase by 2,200 with 20% Magic Damage Immunity. Consumes 5 MP. As long as he activated World¡¯s Favor, his defense would become 2,200 points, and he would be immune to 30% magic damage! Jack felt that he would be able to live longer. After finishing off the novice dungeon, Jack opened his system interface. Host: Jack System: Divine Talent System Level: 1 (10 / 100) Owned: 3,000 Death Soldiers Death Soldiers Point: 0 The System level had increased by 10! Jack was very surprised. He had guessed that the System would need some special item to level up. EXP? Stop fooling around. If Divine Realm¡¯s EXP were effective on the System, the System would have notified him when he killed the first monster. After all, the System¡¯s upgrade requirement was 100 points. Jack had asked the System previously, but the System did not answer. He looked at the 10 EXP on the System and started to think about the changes after he obtained the System. ¡°Ten points¡­¡± ¡°What else had 10 points?¡± As Jack pondered, he opened the attributes panel of the Divine Realm. ID: Legion Level: Lv 10 Occupation: Trainee Shield Envoy HP: 1400 / 1400 MP: 1000 / 1000 Talent: Growth Attributes: Strength 25, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5, Defense 32, Agility 22, Luck 1 Skills: Shield Up Lv1, World¡¯s Favor Lv10 Shield Up Lv1: Instant cast. Raise your shield to block 112 (100+12) damage from the front, and deal damage to the attacker¡¯s own defense attribute. No Cooldown period. Consumes 5 MP. World¡¯s Favor lv10: After activation, the user will have an additional blessing status. Defense will increase by 2,200 with 20% Magic Damage Immunity. Consumes 5 MP. Status: Rank Power After all, after awakening his talent, he went home directly and logged into the Divine Realm. Perhaps he would receive some hints in the Divine Realm. Jack saw his level and suddenly understood! ¡°So the System requires me to level up to level 100!¡± He was asking the System. [Notification: Affirmative] After receiving an affirmative reply from the system, Jack asked with a puzzled look. ¡°Why can¡¯t you just tell me?¡± It was because the system hadn¡¯t told him, Jack¡¯s heart felt like a cat was scratching at it. He had no idea where to start and hadn¡¯t realized until now. [Notification: The System will not answer basic questions.] This was a basic question? Jack really wanted to kill this damn System! How would he know that his level was a requirement for the System¡¯s upgrade? No ordinary person would have thought of that. In other words, he had to level up to Level 100 before the System could level up once? Jack breathed a slow sigh of relief. ¡®As long as I know the direction.¡¯ Although he didn¡¯t know what rewards the System would give him after he leveled up, he was quite satisfied with the current 3,000 Death Soldiers. He believed that the rewards he would receive in the future would definitely be better than now. Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Not long after Jack completed the novice dungeon, an announcement sounded in the Divine Realm. ¡°Congratulations to player [Legion] for completing the novice dungeon with a SSS grade! Reward: Hidden Occupation Item!¡± ¡°Congratulations to player [Legion] for completing the novice dungeon with a SSS grade! Reward: Hidden Occupation Item!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The novice city Jack was in was called Tianke City. As the announcement sounded, all the players in the city were shocked. Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with shock and disbelief! ¡°Divine Realm has been around for 60 years. This must be the first Grade-SSS rating in the novice dungeon!¡± ¡°Back then, even the top powerhouse only received a Grade-S evaluation!¡± ¡°The top powerhouse had Grade S talents, could it be that the Legion also has Grade SSS talent?¡± ¡°A gift from the heavens! A gift from the heavens! We, humans, have hope once again!¡± ¡°Those damned things from the outer realm, just wait and see!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Not only was there an upsurge in the Divine Realm game, the players¡¯ forums, blog top searches, and all sorts of communication platforms went crazy. Everyone was talking about Legion! Jack achieved Grade-SSS. In less than half a minute, this information was sent to every higher-up in the Heavenly Realm Federation. One minute later, the Assassin Alliance, also known as the Dark Whisper Alliance had issued a bounty: One billion would be rewarded for any clues relating to Legion¡¯s identity! Two minutes later, the Heavenly Realm Federation issued an order. The Heavenly Realm Federation responded firmly: Legion¡¯s identity was not to be divulged. Those who disobeyed would be charged with treason against humanity! They would be killed without mercy! If Legion was willing to join the Heavenly Realm Federation, he would learn from the top powerhouse and receive the highest level of protection and treatment! Four minutes later, the Dark Whisper Alliance posted a new bounty: [Legion] officially became the top assassin! Both sides started a tug of war regarding Legion. However, this did not affect Jack for the time being. As the first reward for completing the novice dungeon mission with a Grade-SSS, he obtained an occupation item: Primordial Stone! ¡°After using the Primordial Stone, basic occupation will be evolved! ¡°Found basic occupation: Shield Envoy! Evolution will result in exclusive evolved occupation: [Primordial Shield Envoy]¡± Primordial Shield Envoy: An evolution occupation exclusive to Shield Envoys. Additional attribute [Shield Value], evolved from original skill. Obtained Primordial Shield Envoy¡¯s exclusive skill. Shield Value: Immune to any damage below Shield Value attribute, damage above Shield Value attribute will be deducted. Note: [Shield Value] is the only attribute that cannot be duplicated. Its attribute value is derived from the combination of the five-dimensional attributes. Looking at the introduction of the Primordial Shield Envoy, Jack was ecstatic. He had originally planned to change his occupation to [Heavy Armor Shield Envoy]. After all, due to his talent, that occupation did not suit him. He was even prepared to choose an occupation that would allow him to survive until the end. But the appearance of the Primordial Shield Envoy gave Jack a new hope. Jack had no reason to refuse it. When he saw the attributes of the Primordial Shield Envoy, he was extremely tempted. That word ¡°immune¡±! It was sick! As long as he kept increasing his five-dimensional attributes, he would be invincible! The Primordial Stone that he had just obtained was used up before long. ¡°Job evolution successful!¡± ¡°Congratulations on obtaining an exclusive hidden occupation: [Primordial Shield Envoy].¡± ¡°Skill: Shield Up Lv1, World¡¯s Favor Lv10.¡± ¡°Begin evolution!¡± ¡°Congratulations on obtaining Exclusive Skills: [Primordial Thorn], [Primordial Favor].¡± ¡°Skills you¡¯ve learned: [Shield Exemption], [Shield Attack].¡± [Reminder: Return 10 Skill Points.] Primordial Thorn: Passive skill. When attacked by an enemy, it will deal 10% ([Shield Value]) true damage. Primordial Favor: Increases Defense by 200 and grants the designated target [Shield Value] attribute for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes. Shield Exemption: Shield equipment will appear in an additional equipment column. It does not occupy the main weapon column. You can equip any job¡¯s weapon. Shield Attack: Attacks a single target, causing 40% of the total shield¡¯s damage and ignoring the opponent¡¯s defense. Cooldown: 3 seconds. After the occupation change, Jack¡¯s strength had improved comprehensively. ID: Legion Level: Lv 10 Occupation: Primordial Shield Envoy HP: 1400 / 1400 MP: 1000 / 1000 Talent: Growth Attributes: Strength 25, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5, Defense 32, Agility 22, Luck 1 Shield Value: 89 Skills: Primordial Thorn Lv1, Primordial Favor Lv1, Shield Exemption Lv1, Shield Attack Lv1 Status: Rank Power The introduction of the Shield Value was very tempting. Current Shield Value: 89 points. In other words, any damage less than 89 points was equivalent to nothing for Jack. After his occupation changed, Jack felt refreshed. Originally a Black Iron Skill, Primordial Thorn had transformed into a Silver Skill. This gave him the ability to counter damage. He no longer needed a shield like before. This time, it was a full range of his body! Originally a Gold Skill, Primordial Favor did not change in quality, but its effect was very powerful. From a skill that could only be used on oneself to a support-type skill, not only could it protect his teammates, it could also be used on himself to increase his Shield Value! It was an all-powerful skill. The Shield Exemption surprised Jack quite a bit. Not only did it increase a main weapon slot, but it could also equip all classes¡¯ equipment! This was equivalent to adding a piece of equipment! How could it not surprise him. The last Shield Attack made up for his lack of damage output and disregarded the opponent¡¯s defense completely. The surprise brought by the evolution of occupation was enormous. But Jack knew this was far from enough. If he wanted to become stronger, the increase in his level was far from enough. He needed something else. Equipment, items, and skills were indispensable. Equipment could give him a huge boost in attributes and also increase his Shield Value. Fortunately, other than forging them at blacksmiths, it could be obtained in the mystic realm dungeon. If Jack found a good dungeon and assigned his Death Soldiers there. He would definitely be able to obtain suitable equipment. But that would be a little inefficient. The items, especially the potions that could permanently increase attributes, were all very precious items. They were not sold in cities. One would generally only be able to obtain it in the higher grade trading grounds. In comparison, it required a huge amount of funding. Otherwise, it was impossible to buy it. Many powerful forbidden-level skills could only be learned in mystic realms. After 60 years in the Divine Realm, many missions and dungeons belong to Guardian University. The university relied on the mystic realm¡¯s dungeons to nurture powerful guardians to send to the outer realm¡¯s defensive line. They could barely manage to support the situation. If Jack wants more resources, he must get into the best Guardian University. They had the best resources, the strongest mentors, and even the highest-level blacksmiths in the entire Federation. They could help Jack grow rapidly. More importantly, Jack had to kill the outer-realm monsters if he wanted to continue leveling up. Only by becoming a Guardian could he advance to the outer realm defense line. In the novice dungeon, Jack accumulated 40 Silver Coins. [Gold coins: Silver coins: Copper coins = 1: 100: 10000] One Copper coin was equivalent to 10 yuan Federation currency! Jack¡¯s monthly allowance was only 1,000 yuan. This 40 Silver Coins was equivalent to 40,000 yuan! It would keep Jack from worrying about his livelihood for three years. Jack clicked his tongue. No wonder the Guardians were so popular. It was not without reason. Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Logged into the game for six hours, Logging out.¡± It went dark in front of Jack¡¯s eyes as he logged out of Divine Realm. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to spend 6 hours in a novice dungeon.¡± Jack removed his gaming helmet. The lethality of the Assassinator was truly terrifying. In a one-on-one situation, even the Death Soldiers, who had the Do or die talent, could not withstand the second attack. Not to mention Jack, who was a Shield Envoy. Fortunately, he had the System. Their diverse teamwork made it so that even though their individual strength was not as good as the Assassinator¡¯s, they easily defeated him. If it was only Jack, he did not dare to think how he would face such a strong enemy! Until now, no one knew who created the Divine Realm. Some people said that the Divine Realm was born from the Starting Ground. Some people said that the Divine Realm was created by God of Creation to protect mankind.. But in reality, the Divine Realm game was rather friendly towards humans. It could be compared to the treatment of their own son. The game could only be played for six hours a day, just like it was reminding one to rest. The players of the Divine Realm became stronger in the game and returned to the real world to resist the invasion of the outer realm. It had been so for the last 60 years. It was said that there was a special technique in Guardian University that could break the time limit. It was a pity that the price to pay was too high, hence it would be used easily. Only absolute geniuses could enjoy such treatment. At the thought of this, Jack yearned even more for his future university life. He wished he had wings and could fly into university immediately. But Jack also knew that he was not talented enough. In the eyes of an ordinary person, a Grade B handicapped talent did not have much potential growth. The restrictions were simply too great. Especially in this world and this era, such talent could undoubtedly destroy a person¡¯s future. Fortunately, there was the Divine Talent System. The appearance of 3,000 Death Soldiers made up for Jack¡¯s handicap. Jack discovered that every Death Soldier¡¯s ID was displayed as non-existent in the game. This was undoubtedly a joyous occasion. He could completely integrate the 3000 Death Soldiers into his talent. Or he could say he had a second talent, but the equipment did not detect it. Jack had seen this kind of ridiculous scene many times in his previous life. At this moment, he was happy that he remembered these scenes. After all, it might be difficult for such things to happen in reality, but people would believe it. This was especially the case in this world. Humans were controlled by the outer realm terrorists. Everyone hoped that there would be powerful people amongst their own kind. It was completely possible for Jack to have that kind of expectation. Just like his SSS grading this time, Jack did not believe that the Heavenly Realm Federation did not make any moves and the human society would have no response. As expected, as soon as he exited the game, Jack saw the overwhelming news that was discussing the new player ¡°Legion¡±! Especially after the awakening of their talent last night, the guardians of the Heavenly Realm Federation immediately attacked and destroyed three branches of the Dark Whisper Alliance, killing the branch heads! This was a warning to the Dark Whisper Alliance! However, the Dark Whisper Alliance did not back down. The Dark Whisper higher-ups commanded their assassins to attack. Before the entrance examination, most of the candidates had already awakened their talents. According to the Heavenly Realm¡¯s statistics, 23 Grade A and 3 Grade S students died in the assassination last night. They were all extremely talented, but unfortunately, they were still too weak. Looking at the tragic news, Jack yearned for more power! At the same time, he felt lucky that his talent was not that outstanding. Otherwise, he would have died last night. A total of 26 lives. This was a lesson paid for in blood! The better one¡¯s talent, the higher the chances of being assassinated! But Jack was not about to give up his idea. He yearned to become stronger! He was willing to degrade himself to become a weak and immediate sinner! Jack looked at the sun that was about to rise outside the window and felt a burning rage in his heart. He clenched his fists. ¡°Damn Dark Whisper Alliance, you are the scum of human history!¡± The sky became bright. The people who were busy with their livelihoods started a busy day. The entire city slowly woke up. Jack did not rest after logging out from the Divine Realm. The attributes obtained in the game would be synchronized with the real world. Jack leveled up from Level 1 to Level 10. His Strength, Defense, and Agility were all greatly enhanced. Jack¡¯s body did not feel tired at all, but he felt something was strange. Logically speaking, physical and mental states were two different things. He had been playing games in the Divine Realm for six hours. Due to his Growth talent, his Intelligence and Spirit were still like that of an ordinary person. Jack, however, did not feel tired from the Spirit. ¡°Strange, could it be because of the [Shield Value] attribute?¡± He murmured. Jack still did not quite understand the evolved occupation [Primordial Shield Envoy]. He could not tell much from the occupation introduction. After thinking about it, Jack attributed it to [Shield Value]. He stopped thinking about it. Jack headed to the gym in the neighborhood, ready to test out his improved attributes. His speed had increased by a large margin, and he was much stronger than before. Jack knew that this was because of the average attribute increase. He believed that his Defense was even more terrifying. If he could add all his attribute points to Strength or Intelligence, wouldn¡¯t he be like a diamond drill bit? Not only would his damage be frighteningly high, his Defense would also be unparalleled! It would become a bug in the game. However, on second thought, if he did not choose to become a Shield Envoy, he might not be able to obtain the current exclusive occupation even if he used the [Primordial Stone]. Jack was actually very satisfied with his current occupation. Such a huge improvement was actually the benefit of synchronizing the Divine Realm with reality. This increase was relatively high in the beginning, but it would easily stagnate after encountering a bottleneck. The first requirement to become a Guardian was to reach Level 100 in the Divine Realm and complete the second Class Advancement! This coincided with the upgrade of the Divine Talent System. Jack could work on them at the same time. Starting from level 30, the difficulty of leveling up in the Divine Realm would increase tremendously! He had to defeat enemies of the same level to gain EXP. Many people were stuck at Level 99 their entire lives, unable to break through Level 100. Of course, for Jack, who had gotten the Divine Talent System, which was like a cheat, this threshold could be said to be negligible. When Jack logged out of the game, the System had notified Jack. He could take back his 3,000 Death Soldiers anytime. In other words, Jack could bring these 3,000 Death Soldiers with him at any time. He could also park them outside to continue killing monsters to farm EXP. And there was an additional bonus. This bonus was achieved through the upgrade of the System level. The System¡¯s upgrade was related to his upgrade. This made Jack even more motivated to level up. Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After sweating it out in the gym, Jack went home and took a cold shower. He left the house feeling refreshed. ¡°Unfortunately, the Heavenly Realm Federation doesn¡¯t allow ordinary people to use skills in the city. If they are found out, they might be detained or even killed on the spot! ¡± Jack had never experimented with his skills. The original Shield Envoy became Primordial Shield Envoy, and he even had an added [Shield Value] attribute. This was obviously different from his original basic occupation! God knows what would happen when Jack showed his skills. He would regret it if it caused a huge disaster. This was a world where everyone had superpowers. In order to deal with the abilities brought about by the Divine Realm game, the Heavenly Realm Federation set extremely complicated and cumbersome rules. Ordinary people were not allowed to use damage skills in public areas. Special occupations or occupations that required the usage of skills, such as doctors, security guards, forging, and so on. had to pass a test in order to get a certificate. There were also regular assessments, psychological counseling, career evaluations, and so on. Only by becoming a Guardian could he freely use his skills! These rules were set by the top powerhouses of the Heavenly Realm Federation. Any violators would be punished according to the rules by Heavenly Realm Federation. At the thought of this, Jack¡¯s desire to become a guardian grew. ¡°Jack, over here, over here!¡± On the way to school, Jack met his best friend Mike again. He swept away the dejected and dispirited feeling from the day before, and was extremely excited. It was obvious that he was deeply attracted by the Divine Realm the night before and was addicted to it. ¡°Hey, Jack, it¡¯s really amazing. I completed the novice dungeon yesterday and joined a few classmates to level up. I¡¯m already Level 5 now¡­¡± Mike was still chattering non-stop, talking about his experiences from yesterday. After six hours of work, he had already earned a huge sum of 7 Silver Coins! ¡°I was busy talking about myself. Jack, how were you last night?¡± They were almost to the school gate when Mike became concerned about Jack¡¯s progress. ¡°It¡¯s alright, I cleared the novice dungeon.¡± Jack really told the truth. For six hours, he spent most of his time there, staring blankly at the Killer Ghosts. The Assassinator after him was also quite powerful! Jack was so shocked that he thought he was going to fail miserably. Later on, the novice dungeon was indeed cleared, with an SSS grading. Jack wasn¡¯t the only one who knew. The whole world knew. Hearing his good friend¡¯s answer, Mike sighed and said seriously, ¡°Jack, I really don¡¯t want to say this, but your lazy personality needs to change.¡± ¡°You have Grade B talent. Don¡¯t waste it. ¡°Work hard and reach Level 70 or 80 before the college entrance examination. There¡¯s no hope for top Guardian University, but you should be free to choose any other guardian university, right?¡± Hearing his friend¡¯s concerned words, Jack tried not to laugh. He could only nod patiently and perfunctorily. ¡°Okay, got it.¡± Mike didn¡¯t pester him for long and changed the topic to [Legion]. ¡°It¡¯s said that Legion has Grade SSS-rank talent. If only I knew him!¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°What do you think his innate ability is? Could he really shapeshift into an entire army?¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡­ The lessons during the day were not difficult. Everyone would more or less have added some Intelligence in the Divine Realm. Jack had always scored above 90 for his cultural class. Therefore, he did not need to make these meaningless additions. The requirements to enter the top guardian university were extremely harsh. One had to score above 90 points for cultural classes, and above 80 points for combat classes. Most people had failed to achieve that and did not manage to enroll into the guardian university. Countless people in the Heavenly Realm Federation wanted to enter the guardian university. They wanted to pass the competitive competition and change their fate. Yet. With such a large number of candidates every day, the guardian university only accepted 100,000 students! Top-notch guardian universities, for example: the Imperial Capital Guardian University and Magic City Guardian University. The annual admissions index was less than 200 people. To be able to get into the top guardian university, one had to have at least Grade A talent! Jack now aimed to enter a top-notch guardian university. Hence, a higher level was essential. After a day of studying, the form teacher stayed behind to give her final speech. ¡°Students, you awakened your talents yesterday. I have a few important points to emphasize: Those whose talents are below Grade C, focus on cultural classes. In the game, increase your occupation and life skills. Blacksmith University, New Oriental Culinary School, and Lan Lan Nursing University are all good career paths. Come to me later to collect relevant information and confirm your career paths.¡± The teacher knocked on the podium and said seriously, ¡°Students with good talent should not be arrogant!¡± ¡°Fan Jia¡¯er from Class 1 next door leveled up to Level 10 in six hours yesterday. ¡°The first Class Advancement is about to be completed. There¡¯s a chance to break the record of the Class Advancement in this school!¡± ¡°This class¡¯s vice president, Sin, is also very outstanding. Grade A talent, Level 10 in 6 hours. Everyone, clap!¡± The sparse applause made the form teacher¡¯s expression awkward. He emphasized, ¡°These are all examples that you need to follow!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Hearing to the form teaching mumbling on stage, Jack¡¯s heart had flown back to his house long ago. He really couldn¡¯t wait any longer. He wanted to log into the Divine Realm again. He needed more time to clear dungeons. High-level equipment, skills, materials for strengthening equipment, and most importantly, EXP. The levels of the Death Soldiers were based on his level. The stronger he was, the stronger the Death Soldiers would be! The form teacher¡¯s words pulled Jack back to reality. ¡°¡­The Year Three students will organize a combat test tomorrow. The champion will receive a Silver reward for a suitable occupation. You can choose any equipment or skill you want! ¡°Those who want to participate can register with the study committee member Linda.¡± ¡°School is over!¡± Silver reward? Any skill or equipment? Jack¡¯s eyes shone. There was such a good thing? Although the Death Soldiers wouldn¡¯t be able to take part in the combat test, he still had his [Shield Value] attributes! The passive skill alone allowed him to be immune to any damage below 90 points! In addition, his combat was very good. He was almost sure to win in this kind of combat competition! Jack was extremely excited! In order to become stronger, he had to seize every opportunity! The 26 lives lost the previous night were still fresh in his mind! ¡°I have nothing to do during the day anyway.¡± ¡°Linda, I want to sign up for the combat test!¡± Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°You want to sign up too?¡± Linda, the study committee member, was the daughter of a cultural class teacher and was well-informed. Although Jack was usually cold and did not like to interact with others, he was handsome and was especially popular among the female students. Linda blinked and specifically gave Jack a tip. ¡°This test is different. Some teachers from the admissions office will be watching.¡± ¡°If you perform well, you might even get an early admission!¡± ¡°Really?!¡± Mike was very excited. ¡°Can I sign up too?¡± Mike had chosen the Warrior class in the Divine Realm, which was the most beneficial for combat. His combat skills were above average, and with his occupation advantage, he might be able to get a good ranking. ¡°Enrollment is limited to a minimum of Grade B talent.¡± Linda stuck out her tongue cutely, and said regretfully, ¡°I want to sign up too, but unfortunately, I only have a Grade C talent.¡± In the end, there were a total of seven students in the Year Three (3) class. There were five Grade B talents and two Grade A talents. ¡°Jack, you can do it!¡± Linda ran off with a pile of registration forms. Jack and Mike went home together. On the way back, Mike put his arm around Jack¡¯s neck and winked. ¡°Jack, is Linda interested in you?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. The college entrance examination is around the corner. Playing games is more important. We can¡¯t hold up others from playing games.¡± After saying this, Jack couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Before he transmigrated. Before the college entrance examination, everyone was preparing for it. Learning was the most important thing. Wanting to play games was like a dream. However, it changed after he came here. Parents, teachers, relatives, and friends all urged people to play games. There were even many students who were under too much pressure and came to hate playing games. Many tutorials have been created: ¡°What to do if your child don¡¯t like games? Find out more at the Thunder King¡¯s tutoring class. Call 888888888.¡± ¡°Five must-learn tricks to make your child fall in love with games.¡± ¡­ Back at the district. The two of them separated. Mack left Jack a mode of contract. ¡°Jack, I¡¯m in Tianke City. ID: DogeBrothers. I think I can reach Level 7 today. You just finished the novice dungeon. Contact me earlier. I¡¯ll give you some potions to level up faster! ¡± ¡°Remember to contact me!¡± Mike was worried about the Jack¡¯s laziness and reminded him. ¡°Got it.¡± After parting, Jack finished his dinner at home. While checking information online, he waited for 12 o¡¯clock. After 12, he could log into the Divine Realm for another six hours. ¡°I need to level up and increase my strength as soon as possible. Level up, earn money, and buy equipment!¡± He needed a lot of equipment, skills, and money! He had to take care of 3,000 people. Fortunately, these people were very loyal and were not afraid of hardship. Jack found a suitable dungeon in a guide forum. Earth Elemental Dungeon. ¡°Earth Elemental Dungeon. A solo dungeon that you will never be able to clear!¡± Jack clicked on the guide. The beginning of the guide: ¡°As everyone knows, if we raid a dungeon in the Divine Realm, the ownership of the dungeon will be tied to the attack¡­¡± Jack nodded. He knew all this. That was right. In the past 60 years, most of the dungeons had been conquered by the players and taken as their own, turning them into the current Mystic Realm dungeon. Mystic Realm dungeons were a rare resource. The owner of the dungeon possessed absolute authority. The opening and closing of the dungeon was within their control. Currently, 75% of the Mystic Realm dungeons were controlled by major universities and used to train their elite students. The opening of a dungeon required a massive amount of resources. Only elite students were qualified to enter. Jack¡¯s school, No. 4 High School also owned a small-scale Mystic Realm dungeon. Every year, five slots would be opened up for the top students. These five top students would most likely be recruited by the top guardians. The unique Mystic Realm dungeon was also one of the reasons why top universities attracted students. After tens of years of accumulation, the top universities had enough Mystic Realm dungeons. With these resources, the students¡¯ strength would increase the fastest. The [Earth Elemental Dungeon] that Jack was about to enter was still a public dungeon. For decades, billions of players had tried to clear this dungeon but with no avail. This was because the guide was extremely harsh and could even be considered sick! Jack continued reading the guide. ¡°There are three conditions for clearing the Earth Elemental Dungeon!¡± ¡°1. Achieve an Grade-SSS clearance score. There has been 5,831 people who had achieved this in the past!¡± ¡°2. Obtained [Perfect Earth Elemental Heart]. There has been 102 people who had achieved this in the past!¡± ¡°3. Unparalleled clearance. No one in history has done it!¡± ¡°the Earth Elemental Dungeon is only open to players who are Level 10 to Level 15. The monsters inside have extremely high defense and attack power, as well as resistance against elemental spells. They are also proficient in long-range attacks. The possibility of clearing the dungeon is almost zero.¡± ¡°Top powerhouse Dark Flare was the most likely candidate to take down the Earth Elemental Dungeon. Unfortunately, he was already over Level 15 at that time and could not enter the Earth Elemental Dungeon.¡± Jack finished reading the guide and started thinking about the Earth Elemental Dungeon. His [Shield Value] attribute had immunity to damage below the value of his [Shield Value] attribute. Any damage below would be directly deducted, and his body would then receive the remaining damage. Other than that, he also had Primordial Thorn, a retaliation skill. It was perfect combined with the passive [Shield Value]! Apart from that, he also had Primordial Favor, Shield Exemption, Shield Attack, and other unique skills. After all, Jack had already gotten all his skill points back. He could definitely add more points to the Primordial Favor. Primordial Favor Lv1 added 200 to his Defense! If it was upgraded to Lv10? He still had 40 Silver Coins to purchase equipment in the city. He could buy a common equipment which did not have any skills but had high-value attributes to increase his [Shield Value]. Then, he could also equip with an additional main weapon. Even the new skill [Shield Attack] that he had just learned could completely disregard the opponent¡¯s defense! This Earth Elemental Dungeon was too easy! After entering the dungeon, Jack could summon an Assassin Death Soldier with strong attack power and use the unique attributes of Primordial Favor to coordinate with him! Jack¡¯s heart burned with passion. Perhaps¡­ maybe¡­ He might be able to clear the Earth Elemental Dungeon, and become the Mystic Realm Master of the Earth Elemental Dungeon? The thought stayed in Jack¡¯s mind as soon as it appeared. ¡°Maybe I can try.¡± ¡°But before that, I have to make some preparations!¡± At 12 o¡¯clock, Jack put on his helmet and laid in the gaming capsule. ¡°Enter game!¡± After returning to Tianke City, he hurriedly went to purchase equipment. Time was limited! Tonight, he was going to conquer the Earth Elemental Dungeon! Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Jack found Ridman, the armor dealer, and inquired: ¡°Hi, I¡¯d like to buy some armor.¡± ¡°Okay, just tell me what you like.¡± ¡°¡­¡± It was too expensive! Jack could not help but click his tongue. A Bronze-level full-body armor actually cost 20 Silver Coins! He was going to change his shield after buying the armor. Main weapons were much more expensive than armor! Good weapons could even buy a few full-body armor sets. However, from a comprehensive perspective, this full-body armor attribute boost was more than that of the main weapon. The increase in his [Shield Value] attribute was a five-dimensional combination. Advanced equipment was definitely the best. One could only benefit from equipment that suited them! This full-body armor was necessary. With the 20 Silver Coins spent, 20,000 yuan was gone in the blink of an eye. Jack checked the full-body armor. Armor: Bronze Full Body Armor (Bronze Armor) Level: 10 Defense: 500 Equipment Requirement: 25 Strength Simple and easy to understand. The added stats were a great boost! Those were the words that popped into Jack¡¯s head. However, when he saw the equipment requirement, his mouth twitched. Ordinary Shield Envoy mainly focused on Defense. How many Shield Envoys in Divine Realm could break through 20 Defense at Level 10? Jack had no choice but to have a typical Warrior¡¯s balanced physical attributes because of his weird talent. Normally, only Level 10 Warriors would buy such armors. After putting it on, he changed out of his beginner¡¯s armor and sold it for 10 copper coins to the merchant, Ridman! Scam! What a scam! Jack muttered involuntarily. After that, he bought a Heavy Armor Spear from the weapons merchant Heiker! He spent all 20 Silver Coins at once. Weapon: Heavy Armor Spear (Bronze Weapon) Level: 10 Attack: 200 Defense: 50 Equipment Requirement: 10 Strength This was a Warrior¡¯s weapon. Jack didn¡¯t expect such a weird weapon to have its own Defense. But this was what Jack had in mind. After equipping. ID: Legion Level: Lv 10 Occupation: Primordial Shield Envoy HP: 1400 / 1400 MP: 1000 / 1000 Talent: Growth Attributes: Strength 225, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5, Defense 582, Agility 22, Luck 1 Shield Value: 839 Skills: Primordial Thorn Lv1, Primordial Favor Lv1, Shield Exemption Lv1, Shield Attack Lv1 Status: Rank Power His Shield Value went up to 800 points! Jack upgraded his Primordial Favor. Primordial Favor Lv1 ~ Lv10 Primordial Favor Lv10: Increases Defense to 4,200 and grants [Shield Value] attribute to designated target for 30 seconds. No Cooldown. No cooldown?? This was a godly skill? Holy sh*t!!! Upgrading actually reduced Cooldown! And the increase of Defense to 4,200! Even a Professional Shield Envoy above Level 50 did not have such attributes. Jack gaped. It was hard to imagine. If this skill were to spread to the outside world, there would probably be many high-level existences who would fight to obtain this skill! This skill could temporarily give the designated target [Shield Value] attribute! These were the core skills of the Primordial Shield Envoy! As long as the target was equipped with this skill, it was equivalent to having another occupation on top of the original occupation! He combined his five-dimensional stats into one [Shield Value]! Immune to all damage below the Shield Value! All damage above the shield value will be deducted! How terrifying would this ability be, especially when used on high-level existences, especially the top powerhouses! Jack didn¡¯t even dare to think about it! Primordial Shield Envoy! Terrifying as hell! After being shocked by the Primordial Favor skill for a while, Jack gradually calmed down. He collected his emotions and rushed to the Earth Elemental Dungeon. Earth Elemental Dungeon, entrance. A group of people walked towards him. They surrounded a female mage in the middle. The female mage¡¯s ID was [Four Incandescent Flames]. She had a slim figure and was quite pretty. Although she was a little young, she was still a beauty. She was the school belle of No. 4 High School, Fan Jia¡¯er. A pile of compliments poured into her ears. ¡°You actually advanced your profession to a special occupation, Earth Mage! This time, you will definitely be the top scholar in New North City.¡± ¡°You broke the record of the fastest Class Advancement in No. 4 High School, your future is promising!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Fan Jia¡¯er looked a little impatient. ¡°These guys are so annoying! If I had known, I wouldn¡¯t have told Teacher my ID.¡± Fan Jia¡¯er had just completed her Class Advancement mission and had the Grade S talent [Earth Affinity]. Earth Affinity: Any Earth Elemental Spell Skill level +2, Skill Level +5, Earth Elemental Skill damage +50%. With such a powerful talent, the Earth Mage was the perfect choice for Fan Jia¡¯er. After advancing to an Earth Mage, it also came with an Earth Ring. It could summon two powerful Earth Elementals to fight for her! The teachers of No. 4 High School formed a nanny team to guide Fan Jia¡¯er. The group of people stood in front of the Earth Elemental Dungeon. The vice-principal said earnestly, ¡°Jia¡¯er, I wish you good luck in obtaining Grade S clearance rating!¡± ¡°Success!¡± They did not have much hope of clearing the Earth Elemental Dungeon. If Fan Jia¡¯er could get that Grade S clearance rating, she would be almost guaranteed to be the top scholar of New North City¡¯s college entrance examination. ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± Fan Jia¡¯er confidently rushed into the Earth Elemental Dungeon. While she disappeared into the dungeon, someone entered the Earth Elemental Dungeon at the same time. A teacher which found the person familiar asked, ¡°The one who just went in, was it Jack from Class Three?¡± ¡°Are you sure? Jack only has a Grade B Talent. He probably hasn¡¯t even reached Level 10 yet.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. I hope that Fan Jia¡¯er won¡¯t make any mistakes.¡± ¡°¡­¡± After entering the Earth Elemental Dungeon, Fan Jia¡¯er instantly activated her Earth Ring. Two large and muscular Earth Elementals appeared in front of her. Fan Jia¡¯er¡¯s talent had a hidden ability. It could capture wild earth-type creatures and use them as pets to fight! As long as she was patient enough, even an Earth Elemental boss would not be able to escape from her hands. ¡°Grade S rating?¡± Without her teachers watching by the side, Fan Jia¡¯er¡¯s expression was cold and arrogant like an ice goddess. ¡°I want to clear this dungeon without injuries and obtain an SSS grading. I want to conquer this dungeon!¡± She was confident that she was gifted. The Earth Elemental Dungeon was not difficult at all! Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios On Jack¡¯s side, after entering solo dungeon, he activated the skill, Primordial Favor! Primordial Favor Lv10: Increases Defense to 4,200 and grants [Shield Value] attribute to designated target for 30 seconds. No Cooldown. Five or six huge rocks flew toward his face! When the rocks hit Jack, they shattered immediately. ¡°Crack¡± As the rocks shattered, Jack looked at the notification. -400 (below [Shield Value: 5,039] Immune to this attack) Passive Skill: Primordial Thorn activated, granting the attacker 504 (10% [Shield Value 5039] Critical Damage) ¡­ He looked at the Earth Elementals in front of him. Low-Level Earth Elemental (10) Health: 996 / 1500 Attack: 300 Defense: 300 Skills: Catapult Catapult: Throw a rock and deal 400 magic damage to the target. Cooldown: 5 seconds. ¡°Oh ~¡± No wonder the guide said that monsters in the Earth Elemental Dungeon had high attack, high defense, and even long-range attacks. Ordinary players would probably be killed by these low-level Earth Elementals with one attack. No wonder the guide said that it was a solo dungeon that could never be cleared! It was not an empty threat. Fortunately, he came. Jack thought ruefully. He watched as the opponent launched a second wave of attacks. Jack held the Heavy Armor Spear with both hands and attacked a low-level Earth Elemental in front of him! -22! ??? Holy shit! Jack was shocked! He never expected that he could only deal 22 points of damage! He pondered for a moment and came to a realization. The Defense of the low-level Earth Elemental was 300, and his Attack was only 225. Because of the 10% critical damage of the Rank Power, he dealt 22 points of damage. Just as he was thinking, the low-level Earth Elemental attacked again. Five huge rocks flew toward his face again, then they disappeared! Under Jack¡¯s dark expression, the low-level Earth Elementals¡¯ Health Points decreased by 504 again. D*mn you! Jack was speechless. Are you all still monsters? You actually knew how to attack? Don¡¯t you know how embarrassing this is? Jack felt ashamed. Fortunately, Jack was the only one in this dungeon. Otherwise, he would be too embarrassed. The slightly angry Jack directly threw a Shield Attack at the other party! -2016! (40% [Shield Value]) ¡°You used Shield Attack to kill a low-level Earth Elemental. You gained 200 EXP!¡± Shield Attack was indeed very powerful! An attack that disregarded the opponent¡¯s Defense dealt 2,016 damage. The low-level Earth Elemental was eliminated. Jack carefully and gradually eliminated the remaining low-level Earth Elementals. He knew the area like the back of his hand. There were nearly a hundred low-level Earth Elemental in the periphery of the mountain range. He had to deal with them first before he could continue forward! There were 50 Intermediate Earth Elementals and 10 Advanced Earth Elementals in the mountain range. After defeating all of them, the Earth Elemental King sleeping beneath the mountain range would awaken. The [Perfect Earth Elemental Heart] would only drop after the Earth Elemental King has been killed. Jack¡¯s plan of summoning his Death Soldiers would not work. With such high Defense, the Death Soldiers¡¯ attacks would be like scratching the Earth Elementals¡¯ back. In the end, he still had to do it himself. ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡± Having made up his mind, Jack charged forward with the damage immunity effect of [Shield Value], combined with the range damage of Primordial Thorn. He kept his Heavy Armor Spear and attacked with his bare hands. -21 -21 -2016! (40% [Shield Value]) Coupled with the impact of the exclusive skill Shield Attack, a low-level Earth Elemental was killed almost every two to three seconds. ¡°You used Shield Attack to kill a low-level Earth Elemental. You gained 200 EXP!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Soon, 100 low-level Earth Elementals were wiped out by him. Jack¡¯s level also increased from Level 10 to Level 15. A total of 30 Attribute Points! Attack: 225-235 Defense: 582-592 Agility: 22-32 Primordial Favor Lv10 ~ Lv15 Primordial Favor Lv15: Increases Defense to 5,200 and grants [Shield Value] attribute to designated target for 30 seconds. No Cooldown. His Shield Value doubled! [Shield Value: 5039 ~ 6069] Primordial Thorn: Passive skill. When attacked by an enemy, it will deal 10% ([Shield Value]) 607 critical damage. Not only that, Jack¡¯s Divine Talent System had also leveled up slightly from advancing. His Rank Power increased by five points. Relying on [Shield Value] to increase his damage immunity again, Jack used Shield Attack to attack the surrounding low-level Earth Elementals. After sorting out his gains, Jack moved on, ready to fight the Intermediate Earth Elementals in the inner circle. In the same dungeon, Fan Jia¡¯er had just killed the last low-level Earth Elemental. ¡°A total of 100 low-level Earth Elementals. I successfully captured 85, lost 13 in the battle. Including the two I just summoned, there are 74.¡± ¡°I¡¯m still uninjured. SSS grading is almost guaranteed.¡± ¡°I must ensure that I won¡¯t get injured!¡± Fan Jia¡¯er was determined to conquer the Earth Elemental Dungeon. In her opinion, the Earth Elemental Dungeon was already hers! She walked to the vicinity of the mountain range. There were no signs of human habitation within a thousand miles. It was all brownish-yellow rocky terrain. Near the mountain range, an even larger Earth Elemental was pacing back and forth. Intermediate Earth Elemental (Level 15) Health: 2,400 Attack: 600 Defense: 600 Skills: Catapult, Elemental Plating Elemental Plating: A shield formed by the combination of earth elements covers the entire province. It can withstand magic damage equal to 30% of Health Points (750). It takes a long time to regenerate after it is used. Elemental Plating made the Intermediate Earth Elemental very difficult to deal with! Their Defense was 600 points! Ordinary Level 10 players would not even be able to break through their shield. But it wasn¡¯t a big problem for Jack. In front of the Shield Attack, all defenses were useless. -2,428! (40% [Shield Value]) ¡­ -2,428! (40% [Shield Value]) ¡­¡­ The Intermediate Earth Elemental fell to the ground. ¡°You used Shield Attack to kill an Intermediate Earth Elemental and gained 500 EXP!¡± ¡°You used Shield Attack to kill an Intermediate Earth Elemental and gained 500 EXP!¡± ¡­ Within a few minutes, all the Intermediate Earth Elementals were killed! Only Jack and 10 Advanced Earth Elementals were left. Advanced Earth Element (Level 20) Health: 4000 Attack: 800 Defense: 800 Skills: Catapult, Elemental Plating, Violent Smack Violent Smack: Using the arms of an Advanced Earth Elemental to deal a powerful blow, dealing 1,000 area physical damage. Cooldown time 15 seconds. The Advanced Earth Elemental had more HP than the Intermediate Earth Elemental. Even the upgraded Shield Attack could not kill the opponent in one hit. But that didn¡¯t trouble Jack. If it didn¡¯t kill the opponent the first time, he¡¯d attack it again! It had only been six seconds. One had to know that his Shield Value was more than 6,000 points. The attacks of these Advanced Earth Elementals did not hurt him at all. Jack did not give them time to breathe. It only took 60 seconds. The ten Advanced Earth Elementals could not fight back at all. One by one, they fell. ¡°You used Shield Point to attack and kill an Advanced Earth Elemental. You gained 1,000 EXP!¡± ¡°You used Shield Point to attack and kill an Advanced Earth Elemental. You gained 1,000 EXP!¡± ¡­¡­.. After clearing the Intermediate and Advanced Earth Elementals, Jack leveled up 10 times and obtained 60 Physical Attribute Points and 10 Skill Points. The attributes were still evenly distributed on Strength, Defense, and Agility. Jack added five Skill Points to the Primordial Favor. The remaining Skill Points were all added to the Shield Attack! It was really because Jack felt very unhappy. He had to wait for three seconds before he could release it every time. It was too stifling. If possible, he would rather spend Skill Points to make up for this flaw. Attack: 235-2555 Defense: 592-612 Agility: 32 ~ 52 Primordial Favor Lv15 ~ Lv20 Primordial Favor Lv20: Increases Defense to 6,200 and grants [Shield Value] attribute to designated target for 30 seconds. No Cooldown. Shield Attack Lv1 ~ Lv5 Shield Attack Lv5: Attacks a single target, causing 60% of the total shield¡¯s damage and ignoring the opponent¡¯s defense. No Cooldown. The Cooldown for Shield Attack was gone! The Primordial Favor¡¯s Defense was increased by 1,000 points! It reached 6,200 points of Defense! [Shield Value: 6069 ~ 7129] This was the core skill he needed in order to challenge the boss without getting injured! As the Earth Elementals fell, the originally calm mountain range began to shake! A powerful and terrifying force was slowly recovering! A mighty figure rose from the ground! ¡°Amateur! How dare you wake up the Earth Elemental King! You will have to pay the price!¡± King of Earth Elements [Punkyn] Earth Elemental King (30) Health: 600,000 Attack: 2000 Defense: 2000 Skills: Fallen, Earth Mastery, Earth Power, Elemental Summon, Earth Spike Earth Mastery: Release Earth Elemental Spell Effect +100%! Earth Power: Deals 500 Damage to surrounding enemies every second, slowly restores HP, regenerates 1% every second, lasts for 15 seconds, Cooldown 300 minutes! Fallen: Summon a meteorite from the sky and deal 3,000 Damage to the one target! Undoubtedly, the Earth Elemental King, Punkyn, was extremely difficult to deal with! Earth Mastery combined with Earth Power, Fallen¡­ and other skills were quite terrifying. Not only could it deal huge damage, but it could also recover 30% HP. Fortunately, the Cooldown of the Earth Power was long enough. It took 300 minutes. Everything was still within Jack¡¯s plan. The Earth Elemental King roared crazily! Jack was the first to attack! He dashed right in front of the other party and slapped him. The Shield Attack directly hit the opponent¡¯s face! ¡°You must have taught this to your underlings! Let me show you how it feels.¡± Jack said coldly. -4,277! (60% [Shield Value]) Earth Elemental King: ¡­ The Earth Elemental King did not know what he was saying. If it knew, it would definitely say, ¡°I didn¡¯t! You¡¯re talking nonsense!¡± The Earth Elemental King flipped out when Jack slapped its face! Jack also started a fierce battle with the opponent! Shield Attack! Shield Attack! Shield Attack! ¡­¡­ ¡°Earth Spike!¡± ¡°Elemental Summon!¡± ¡°Fallen!¡± ¡°Earth Power!¡± ¡­ Under the powerful effect of the [Shield Value] attribute, all the efforts of the Earth Elemental King were futile. After a burst of rage. Eventually. It was annihilated by the [Shield Attack]! ¡°Successfully killed the Earth Elemental King and obtained [Perfect Earth Elemental Heart].¡± ¡°Clearing the Earth Elemental Dungeon, concluding¡­¡± ¡°Dungeon rating: Grade-SSS!¡± ¡°Damage received during dungeon clearance: 0!¡± ¡°Requirements to conquer dungeon fulfilled, concluding¡­¡± The server announcement was like a sudden clap of thunder that resounded throughout the entire Divine Realm game world. ¡°Congratulations to the player [Legion] for conquering the Earth Elemental Dungeon!¡± ¡°Congratulations to the player [Legion] for conquering the Earth Elemental Dungeon!¡± Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°The Earth Elemental Dungeon has fallen!¡± ¡°Did I hear wrongly? That is a dungeon that no one has been able to conquer for 60 years!¡± ¡°Boss Legion! He definitely has Grade SSS talent!¡± ¡­ After the commotion the day before, It was thought that Legion would remain silent for some time. He had actually conquered the Earth Elemental Dungeon!? Both the Heavenly Realm Federation and the Dark Whisper Alliance fell silent. Heavenly Realm Federation Headquarters. A document was sent to the table of the most powerful Dark Flare. Intelligence: Legion Age: 15-18 Talent: Grade SSS (Estimated) Identity: Master of the Earth Elemental Mystic Realm ¡­ There was too little information. Dark flames appeared in the eyes of the top powerhouse Dark Flare as the information in front of him was burnt to ashes. His lips curled into a smile. ¡°Interesting little guy.¡± Dark Whisper Alliance. At the top of the headquarters tower. The spatial fluctuations here were extremely unstable. At this moment, three people in black sacrificial clothes were standing facing three different directions, chanting something. The array under their feet flashed and a shadow was summoned to the middle of the altar. ¡°Awaken¡­ offering a sacrifice¡­¡± The man in black stepped forward and respectfully presented a skull ring. As the ring was devoured, the shadow solidified a little and its speech became smoother. ¡°Why did you awaken me, Ninth Evil God Krohn¡­?¡± The man in black leaned over and answered. ¡°Esteemed Master, a genius named [Legion] has appeared. He has a chance of becoming a top powerhouse¡­¡± After hearing the report from the man in black, the shadow growled. ¡°Kill him! There cannot be any more top powerhouses among human beings!¡± ¡°I give you eyes that see through everything!¡± ¡­ In the Earth Elemental Dungeon, Fan Jia¡¯er had reached the most critical juncture. On the periphery, her progress was on par with Jack. The two of them dealt with the low-level Earth Elementals almost simultaneously. But in the later stages, she clearly slowed down. By relying on the Intermediate and Advanced Earth Elementals that she had captured, Fan Jia¡¯er consumed the HP of the Earth Elemental King bit by bit. If she had another half an hour, she would have succeeded! At that time, she would be the first person in history to clear the Earth Elemental Dungeon! ¡°Congratulations to the player [Legion] for conquering the Earth Elemental Dungeon!¡± ¡°This dungeon will become a Mystic Realm dungeon. Players inside the dungeon are to exit!¡± Fan Jia¡¯er¡¯s ambition was still so real the previous second. However, in the next moment, everything disappeared like an illusion. The more beautiful a dream was, the more cruel reality would be! ¡°Ah!!!¡± ¡°Legion! Legion again!¡± ¡°So annoying! I was so close!¡± Fan Jia¡¯er could only feel chattering teeth as she frantically chanted Legion¡¯s name. Jack took care of the Earth Elemental King and perfectly cleared the Earth Elemental Dungeon. He had become the Master of a Mystic Realm. The entire Mystic Realm underwent a tremendous change. The people who were challenging or exploring the Mystic Realm were forced to leave. The range of the Earth Elemental Mystic Realm kept shrinking. The Mystic Realm, which originally occupied a few hundred acres, shrunk to less than 100 square meters. There was very little information about the Mystic Realm Master on the Internet. After all, most Mystic Realm Masters conquered the dungeons during the early stages of the game. After 60 years, the remaining dungeons were very difficult to clear. Ordinary people could not understand it at all. What would happen after becoming the Master of a Mystic Realm? As the size of the Mystic Realm shrunk, the earth element in the air became denser. A yellow elf slowly appeared. It was only the size of a fist and had three pairs of transparent wings. Its body was filled with complicated patterns and its voice was thick. ¡°Congratulations, Master, on becoming the Master of the Mystic Realm.¡± Jack asked with interest. ¡°You are?¡± ¡°I am the Mystic Realm Spirit Elf, Mountain Spirit. I will assist Master in maintaining and developing the Mystic Realm. Mountain Spirit has been waiting here for 60 years! ¡± Mountain Spirit was a little agitated. She looked quite cute dancing up and down. ¡°I was born over ten years ago, so I came late.¡± Jack, who had just experienced an ¡®intense¡¯ battle, was now relaxed. He asked curiously, ¡°The Mystic Realm needs maintenance? Is the cost high?¡± ¡°If it¡¯s not open to the public, the Mystic Realm elemental power is enough to sustain the Mystic Realm for a hundred years.¡± ¡°Opening it to the outside world consumes 0.1% of the elemental power.¡± It could only be opened 1000 times. Jack had not asked about replenishing the elemental power. It was likely not easy. From the looks of it, maintaining the Mystic Realm Dungeon was also a huge expense. ¡°No wonder the school only has a small mystic realm and is only open to five people every year.¡± Jack had no intention of making the Mystic Realm public for the time being. The whole world knew. The Earth Elemental Mystic Realm was in the hands of Legion. If Jack opened the Mystic Realm, wouldn¡¯t his identity be exposed? First, it was clearing the novice dungeon with a SSS grading, then Earth Elemental Dungeon. [Legion] would probably become the hottest topic in the near future. He would be pushed to the cusp of the storm and the center of attention. If his identity was exposed, he would either die or suffer a fate worse than death! Since he did not plan to make the Mystic Realm public, Jack¡¯s Mystic Realm Dungeon could still last for a hundred years. ¡°What about the outputs of the Mystic Realm Dungeon?¡± That was what Jack was concerned about. If there was input, there would be output. Mountain Spirit was a qualified butler and quickly reported. ¡°One [Perfect Earth Elemental Heart] is produced every week. One [Earth Element Skill Book] is produced every month, and the grade ranges from Gold to Diamond. One [Earth-elemental Equipment] is produced every year, Diamond grade!¡± After listening to the report, Jack rubbed his chin with his hand and nodded slowly. The benefits of a Mystic Realm Master were quite good. [Perfect Earth Elemental Heart] was all Earth Mages¡¯ dream item. Item: Perfect Earth Elemental Heart Effect: After using it, you will receive [Thick Earth-Element]. Earth-Element magic effects +10%! Although this 10% was not high, this kind of augmenting tool became more powerful as it progressed! Jack had perfectly cleared the dungeon previously. Not only did he become the Master of the Mystic Realm, but he also upgraded [Perfect Earth Elemental Heart] to [Pure Earth Elemental Heart]. Item: Pure Earth Elemental Heart Effect: After using it, you will receive [Thick Earth Elemental]. Earth-Element magic effects +50%. This thing did not have much use for Jack, but it could be given to the Mages in his army of Death Soldiers. It might even surpass the gods! ID: Legion Level: Lv 30 Occupation: Primordial Shield Envoy HP: 13400 / 13400 MP: 10000 / 10000 Talent: Growth Attributes: Strength 265, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5, Defense 622, Agility 62, Luck 1 Shield Value: 929 Skills: Primordial Thorn Lv1, Primordial Favor Lv20, Shield Exemption Lv1, Shield Attack Lv5 Status: Rank Power Mystic Realm: Earth Elemental Mystic Realm Skill Points: 5 Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Jack leveled up to Level 30 after killing the Earth Elemental King. As his level increased, his Strength, Defense, and Agility also increased. Five Skill Points were added to Primordial Favor. Primordial Favor Lv20 ~ Lv25 Primordial Favor Lv25: Increases Defense to 7,200 and grants [Shield Value] attribute to designated target for 30 seconds. No Cooldown. No extra materials or gold coins dropped in the Earth Elemental Dungeon. [Pure Earth Elemental Heart] was Jack¡¯s biggest gain this trip. Mountain Spirit also told Jack a piece of good news. ¡°This week¡¯s Earth Elemental Heart has been formed. We can go to the Trading Mystic Realm to trade!¡± ¡°Trading Mystic Realm, what¡¯s that? How do we get there?¡± Jack asked Mountain Spirit for relevant information. ¡°All the Mystic Realm Masters can transact anonymously at the Trading Mystic Realm. The time spent in the Trading Mystic Realm is not limited by the six hours in the game. No battles are allowed in the Trading Mystic Realm, and no one is allowed to force anyone to buy or sell anything¡­¡± After Mountain Spirit¡¯s introduction, Jack had a basic understanding of the Trading Mystic Realm. Trading Mystic Realm were like online shops like Taobao and JD. He could buy or sell things there. Mystic Realm specialties, skill books, equipment, props¡­ even human lives! Everything could be bought and sold. The unused Earth Elemental Heart in Jack¡¯s hand was just right to be traded. For such special props, he just had to keep the best one. In any case, the duration he spent in the Trading Mystic Realm was not counted in the game. Jack went straight to the Trading Mystic Realm and tried to think of a way to sell the Earth Elemental Heart he had. ¡­ At the entrance of the Earth Elemental Dungeon. A large group of people were forcibly teleported out, including Fan Jia¡¯er. The teachers who were waiting already knew the outcome. Legion had become the Master of the Mystic Realm. Fan Jia¡¯er had not even cleared the dungeon. The vice-principal consoled her. ¡°Don¡¯t be discouraged. Although you have Grade S talent, there¡¯s still a gap between you and Legion.¡± ¡°Being born in the same era as such a genius is both a blessing and a misfortune.¡± After comforting her, the vice-principal went on to encourage her. ¡°The principal knows about this and has gone to the Trading Space to buy a [Earth Elemental Heart] for you!¡± ¡°With that, you will still be the top scholar in New North City!¡± Fan Jia¡¯er¡¯s mood didn¡¯t improve at all even after she heard what the vice principal said. She was so angry with Legion that she couldn¡¯t wait to have a real-life PK with the other party. ¡­ Trading Mystic Realm Jack entered and found himself in the form of an Earth Elemental. No wonder Mountain Spirit said that he could trade anonymously here. With this appearance, no one would be able to find out Jack¡¯s true identity. However, it also indirectly told everyone that he was the Master of the Earth Elemental Mystic Realm. He was, Legion! Everyone turned to Jack and stared at him. Those who could come here were all Masters of Mystic Realms. They had power, status, and resources. After recognizing that he was Legion, they extended an olive branch in unison. ¡°Legion, if you join the Horizon Sea Clan, the clan¡¯s treasures will be at your disposal!¡± ¡°Clan treasures are nothing! Come to our Southwestern Guardian University, I¡¯ll give you 30,000 credits.¡± ¡°How dare you be so arrogant when you¡¯re ranked 22nd? The East Capital Guardian University is ranked 8th in the world. I¡¯ll give you 50,000 credits!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t argue, everyone. Don¡¯t argue. Legion, I have a granddaughter, Solis. She¡¯s a national goddess, the same age as you. Both of you can take time to get to know each other¡­¡± ¡°You disrespectful old thing!¡± ¡°Who are you scolding?¡± ¡°What are you looking at!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with looking at you!¡± ¡­ The scene was extremely chaotic. People who want to solicit Jack, people who want to recruit Jack, people who want to introduce their own granddaughter to Jack¡­ Some people even wanted to acknowledge Jack as their godfather! He was still a child, yet someone wanted him to be a father! I treat you as a friend, but you treat me as a father! Legion was too famous. Everyone was guessing that he had Grade SSS talent and would become the strongest in the future. If they could climb up this big tree earlier, there would be countless benefits in the future! The commotion did not last long before it was stopped. ¡°Everything related to the Legion is forbidden from being discussed in the Trading Mystic Realm!¡± ¡°Violators are charged with treason against humanity!¡± A Crystal Man wearing a crown spoke. When he spoke, everyone immediately fell silent. They were clearly afraid of him. The Crystal Man¡¯s gaze fell on Jack, softening a bit. ¡°Legion, those stinkers from the outer realm are still after you. Unless your identity can be kept secret while you are under the protection of the Heavenly Realm Federation¡­¡± The other party was clearly showing goodwill. Jack understood and nodded. Damn stinkers and rats! He was referring to the Dark Whisper, the Assassins Alliance. Once Jack¡¯s true identity was exposed, it would lead to an endless pursuit from the other side! The Crystal Man continued. ¡°You came to the Trading Space to sell the Elemental Heart, right?¡± They could roughly guess what the Earth Elemental Mystic Realm produced. Jack didn¡¯t try to hide it. He admitted it generously. People could not be forced to sell or buy anything there, he was not afraid of others snatching his things. The Crystal Man introduced, ¡°The Earth Elemental Heart is a rare treasure for an Earth Mage. There happens to be an old friend who is in urgent need of it. Why don¡¯t you discuss it with him first?¡± After saying that, the Crystal Man shouted. ¡°Anyone who wants the Earth Elemental Heart can bid openly. The highest bidder wins!¡± The Crystal Man saved Jack a lot of trouble. Earth Elemental Heart. Hearing this news, there was another commotion in the crowd. After Legion became the Master of a Mystic Realm, only he had the Earth Elemental Heart. And if anyone wanted it, they could only buy it from him. Even if they did not need it, if they bought it now, the price would slowly appreciate in the future. Very soon, three people stepped forward to bid. ¡°The Southwest High School Alliance is willing to pay 500 contribution points to trade using an anonymous card.¡± ¡°Horizon Sea Clan, 650 contribution points, with the same terms!¡± ¡°Capital¡¯s No. 1 High School, 800 contribution points!¡± Contribution points were a specific currency of the Federation. It could be used to exchange for powerful equipment, medicines, skill books, and various other resources. One contribution point could be sold for 100,000 Federation currency in the black market. Priceless! Three parties bid. The lowest bid was 50 million, and the highest bid was 80 million! The old friend of the Crystal Man arrived late and quickly bid. ¡°400 contribution points and entry to the [Path of Trial]!¡± As soon as this sentence was spoken, it immediately caused a huge commotion. Entry to the Mystic Realm? Path of Trial? Jack had never heard of this Mystic Realm. Judging from the reactions of the people around him, he should be someone important. The Crystal Man saw that Jack was confused and explained. ¡°Path of Trial is a Level 50 dungeon If one cleared it with an SSS grading, they could obtain the status [Rank Power].¡± Of course, if one possessed Rank Power, they would advance to a higher level and become a different form. I heard that this form is quite powerful. However, this has never happened before in history. Hahaha. ¡± The Crystal Man finished laughing and continued. ¡°The entry to [Path of Trial] Mystic Realm is worth around 500 resource points. However, there were pros and cons to this. ¡°If you did not clear it with an SSS grading, you¡¯ll be wasting 500 resource points. Think carefully.¡± When Jack heard this, he burned with passion. They did not know that he already had Rank Power! Going to the Path of Trial would allow one to evolve into another powerful form! How could Jack miss it? Jack accepted the trade immediately. However, he appeared to hesitate for a moment before deciding to trade with the old man. Both sides took what they needed. ¡°300 contribution points. This is an anonymous card. This is the Trial Token. When used at Level 50, you will be teleported directly to [Path of Trial] Mystic Realm.¡± Jack handed over the Earth Elemental Heart and completed the transaction! Jack, who had gained a lot, had a new goal. ¡°I should think of a way to obtain a large amount of equipment. After all, the Death Soldiers need to upgrade too!¡± Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios In exchange for 300 contribution points and the Trial Token, Jack returned with his pockets full. 300 contribution points. One contribution point could be exchanged for 100,000 Federation Currency. It was equivalent to 1 Gold Coin or 100 Silver Coins in the Divine Realm. Jack exchanged 200 Gold Coins / 20,000 Silver Coins. He went straight to the armor dealer, Ridman. He did not have much time left in the game today, so he had to make use of every second. Jack needed a large number of weapons and armor to equip his Death Soldiers. He got this sum of money at the right time. He selected all kinds of Bronze class armors enough for 3,000 people from the armor dealer, Ridman. Surprisingly, the shop did not have so many pieces of armor. After giving 500 Silver Coins as a deposit, they agreed for Jack to come and get the equipment the next time he logged in. Jack went directly to the weapons merchant, Heiker. Through their conversation, Heiker had 3,000 sets of Bronze Class weapons, but there was a problem. After deducting the balance that he needed to pay the armor merchant, Ridman, tomorrow, he did not have enough Silver Coins! Hence, Jack quickly exchanged 5,000 Silver Coins, bought the weapons, and equipped them first. ID: None Level: Lv 29 Occupation: Trainee Warrior HP: 12000 / 12000 MP: 10000 / 10000 Talent: 100% loyalty, Facing death with equanimity, Do or die, Payback. Attributes: Strength 220, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5, Defense 10, Agility 5 Skill: Slash Lv29 ¡­ ID: None Level: Lv 29 Occupation: Trainee Mage HP: 10000 / 10000 MP: 12000 / 12000 Talent: 100% loyalty, Facing death with equanimity, Do or die, Payback. Attributes: Strength 5, Intelligence 120, Spirit 10, Defense 5, Agility 5 Skills: Fireball Lv.29 ¡­ ID: None Level: Lv 29 Occupation: Trainee Shield Envoy HP: 13000 / 13000 MP: 10000 / 10000 Talent: 100% loyalty, Facing death with equanimity, Do or die, Payback. Attributes: Strength 5, Intelligence 5, Defense 327, Agility 2 Skills: Shield Up Lv29 ¡­ Looking at the stats of the Death Soldiers increasing, Jack suddenly felt that the Silver Coins he spent were worth it. He looked forward to seeing how they would perform when they were fully equipped. The only thing that made Jack feel regretful was that the skills and Class Advancement of the Death Soldiers could only be exchanged using points called the Death Soldiers Points in the Death Soldiers Shop. This was what the System had told him when he was equipped with the Death Soldiers. Death Soldiers Points? Death Soldiers Shop? Jack felt that he had to figure this out himself again. The System did not inform him about this. He had a feeling that these Death Soldiers Points should be obtained in reality. Speaking of the skills and equipment of his Death Soldiers, Jack could not help but think of his own equipment. He was already Level 30! His equipment could no longer satisfy his needs. He needed rarer equipment that could increase his attributes. ¡°Seriously, I should go buy more rare and advanced equipment¡­¡± He said it unintentionally, but the listener read his own meaning into it. Heiker, the weapon merchant, slowly approached him. ¡°Do you want to obtain rarer equipment?¡± Jack nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± Apart from the remaining Silver Coins, he still had 50 contribution points to use. That was equivalent to 50 Gold Coins. It was useless to keep all the money. He needed more rare equipment. He felt somewhat helpless. Heiker said with his eyes shining, ¡°I happen to have something on my side. You can obtain a set of rare equipment after you complete it. You can choose any equipment belonging to any occupation you want.¡± ¡°How is it? Do you want to try?¡± ¡°Triggered hidden mission [Weapon Merchant¡¯s Wish]. Do you accept it?¡± Jack perked up. Hidden mission? Was he that lucky? He had actually triggered a hidden mission! Could it be triggered by the purchase of a large number of weapons? Jack thought about it. However, if he did not accept what the heavens gave him, he would be blamed. ¡°Accept!¡± ¡°Obtained a hidden mission [Weapon Merchant¡¯s Wish]!¡± Jack asked, ¡°How can I fulfill your wish?¡± No one had triggered this hidden mission for 60 years. Jack was no ordinary lucky man. Heiker said seriously. ¡°You have already fulfilled the prerequisites for the mission: You have a mutated evolved occupation and bought 2,000 Bronze-class weapons. Mission Details: Use your own exclusive skill to defeat a Level 45 special boss, Volt Cave Demon. During this period of time, as long as you used other skills, equipment, potions, or items, you would be deemed to have failed the mission. After the mission is completed, go to the camp of the Krawboire to look for their craftsmen to submit the mission. As for the mission reward, you will know when the time comes¡­¡± Heiker kept him in suspense. He did not tell Jack directly what the mission reward was. With Jack¡¯s experience in reviewing information. Most of the hidden missions in the Divine Realm had rich rewards. This mission was not easy for ordinary players. They could only use their own exclusive skills. Furthermore, they had to have a mutated exclusive occupation before they could set off! According to rumors, the Volt Cave Demon hid in the depths of the bat cave outside the city. He had to kill the boss Bat Demon in the bat cave before he would appear. It was a Level 40-50 training ground. Even without this mission, Jack planned to go there to level up. ¡°Understood. I¡¯ll set off now.¡± Jack first went to the teleportation stone in the city and spent 15 Bronze Coins to teleport outside the bat cave. 15 Bronze Coins was equivalent to 150 yuan. It was enough for Jack to watch three movies or eat hotpot! ¡°Time is money.¡± He could only play for six hours a day. Jack spent five hours in the Earth Elemental Dungeon. He spent some time traveling. Just as he appeared outside the bat cave, a few monsters blocked Jack. Mutated Bat (Level 30) Health: 15,000 Attack: 2000 Defense: 2000 Skills: Blood Thirst, Ultrasound Blood Thirst: Attack has 40% leech effect! Ultrasound: Ignore Medium and Low-Level Stealth. Ignore invisible units below Lv30. ¡°Shield Attack! Shield Attack! Shield Attack!¡± He continuously used Shield Attack to attack the Mutated Bats that were still moving. ¡°You used Shield Attack to kill the Mutated Bat. You gained+400 EXP!¡± ¡°You used Shield Attack to kill the Mutated Bat. You gained+400 EXP!¡± ¡­ The experience Jack gained from killing monsters of the same level as him was average. After taking care of the bats from the cave entrance, Jack headed inside. The entire bat cave was a huge maze! The structure was very strange and it was easy to walk into a dead end. Furthermore, the terrain of the bat cave would change with time. For Jack, killing Volt Cave Demon was not difficult. The difficulty lay in finding the other party. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I don¡¯t have the skill to seek the enemy.¡± Jack reflected. Next time, if he could, he would have to learn some skills like exploration, seeking enemies, and anti-stealth. Jack repeatedly used Shield Attack. Wherever he went, not a single blade of grass survived. Large batches of mutated bats were killed. Currently, he had to kill Bat Demon first before he could lure Volt Cave Demon out. There were two ways to find Bat Demon: 1. Find the other party¡¯s hiding place. 2. Kill enough bats to make the angry Bat Demon approach him! He would then kill the Bat Demon and wait for the Volt Cave Demon to appear. For Jack, the latter was obviously more cost-effective. All they had to do was continue killing in the bat cave. No bat could withstand the damage of Shield Attack. Half an hour later, Jack cleared the Bat Cave 1 / 10 area. A notification popped up in front of him: ¡°Logged into the game for six hours, Logging out.¡± Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios It has already been six hours? Jack was reluctant to leave but had no choice but to do so. He did not leave immediately but returned to the Trading Mystic Realm. The number of people in the Trading Mystic Realm doubled. Jack¡¯s arrival caused another stir. However, the warning from the Crystal Crown Man was still fresh in everyone¡¯s minds. No one dared to cross the line. After all, If the Dark Whisper Alliance heard news about Legion in the Mystic Realm, the real Legion would be killed. It was an unbearable loss for mankind. The best solution at the current situation was to keep Legion¡¯s identity a secret. Jack found the Crown Crystal Man without much effort. Jack had already guessed that the other party was most likely a powerhouse of the Heavenly Realm Federation, and might even be related to a top powerhouse. If he had any needs, he could communicate with him directly. ¡°Can we have a private chat here?¡± Jack looked around at the people coming and going, not wanting their conversation to be overheard. ¡°Sure.¡± A fist-sized amethyst appeared in the hands of the Crown Crystal Man. He threw it on the ground. The purple round crystal turned into a natural crystal house the moment it landed on the ground. There were also tables and chairs made of purple crystals in the room. It was very considerate. Jack did not hesitate to sit down and spoke. ¡°Can I hide my appearance in the game?¡± In the Trading Mystic Realm, Jack looked like an Earth Elemental. There was basically no risk of exposure. In the Divine Realm game, Jack looked the same as he did in real life. His ID can be hidden by setting. Jack needed to change his appearance. ¡°Of course. Let me tell you in advance, as an important person that the Heavenly Realm Federation wishes to nurture, the preferential treatment you receive is of the highest grade. Even the most powerful person had to abide by the contribution point system in the Federation. This is as much as I can help you.¡± Jack nodded to show he understood. The Legion was suspected to have Grade SSS talent. No one knew of his real talent grade. Moreover, Jack¡¯s talent was tested to be Grade B! In the entire Heavenly Realm Federation, he could only be considered as one of the more talented soldiers. What Jack needed to do was to show his Death Soldiers to the Heavenly Realm Federation under conditions that allowed it, making the other party misunderstand that the System was Jack¡¯s talent. This way, when he really needs to show himself, Jack can logically become a genius with Grade SSS talent named ¡°Legion¡±. Before that, he could only cooperate with the Heavenly Realm Federation. The Crown Crystal Man was clearly prepared for Jack¡¯s request. He took out three items. ¡°This is an Image Fruit. After eating it, you can change your appearance in the game as you wish. The disadvantage is that its effects will be substituted into reality. Those with insufficient Intelligence will not be able to control their own changes. It is worth 500 contribution points.¡± 500 contribution points was 50 million Federation currency! Jack thought to himself, This is enough to buy a big villa in New North City! The side effects of the Image Fruit were too great. Jack looked at his Intelligence and decisively gave up on this option. He was very satisfied with his handsome appearance. He did not want to become a monster that kept changing his face. The Crown Crystal Man began to introduce the second item. ¡°This equipment is called [Dreamweaver¡¯s Veil]. It is one of the three famous pieces of Blacksmith Ayang. When wearing it, it will automatically conceal your appearance. When a target is designated using a spell, it will resist a single magic damage from the opponent. The disadvantage is that the Dreamweaver¡¯s whisper will ring in your ears. It is worth 600 contribution points.¡± ¡°Can I try?¡± With the permission of the Crown Crystal Man, Jack wore the veil. ¡°! @ # £¤%¡­! @ # £¤%¡­! @ # £¤%¡­¡± ¡°Ugh¡ª¡± ¡°What is this? It¡¯s so hard to listen to!!!¡± Jack took off the veil and threw it back. This voice was like Mike¡¯s long-winded speech being amplified by a thousand times! And it even forced his ears to understand its words. This discomfort almost killed Jack. Jack felt that if he listened to it for a long time, he would lose his sanity! ¡°The last item is [Shadoweave Mask].¡± The Crown Crystal Man finally took out something normal. ¡°It can stop prying eyes of any level. The dark patterns on the mask will change according to one¡¯s mood. It¡¯s worth 200 contribution points.¡± Jack tried it. It was the right size, and it wouldn¡¯t come off even when he was fighting. ¡°It¡¯s decided.¡± Jack thought for a while and took out [Pure Earth Elemental Heart]. He said to the other party, ¡°Can I use this as collateral?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this the upgraded item for the Perfect Earth Elemental Heart? Are you sure?¡± The Crown Crystal Man was very surprised. Compared to the former, the latter was quite precious. He did not doubt that Jack would take out this item. He has the Earth Elemental Mystic Realm, it was highly possible for him to take such an item out. Jack touched the back of his head and replied slightly embarrassed, ¡°Uh, actually, I don¡¯t have any more contribution points on me.¡± ¡°No contribution points? Didn¡¯t you just receive a few hundred contribution points?¡± ¡°Uh, it¡¯s all used up.¡± ¡°It¡¯s used up!?¡± The Crown Crystal Man was silent. He was a little shocked. That was a few hundred contribution points, more than enough for a newbie like [Legion]. ¡°It¡¯s really gone. My talent needs more contribution points.¡± Jack replied with a laugh. It was not just contribution points. Not only did it cost contribution points, it also cost money! The weapons and armors of 3,000 people, and only Bronze class! In the future, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and even Diamonds class! Jack didn¡¯t even dare to think about how much money he would have to spend by then! The Crystal Crown Man replied after a moment of silence, ¡°Your [Pure Earth Elemental Heart] a high-level Earth Elemental Item. I can offer you 1,600 contribution points. After deducting the cost of the mask, I still have to give you 1,400 contribution points.¡± The man looked at Jack and asked, ¡°How is it? If there¡¯s no problem, I¡¯ll transfer the contribution points to you.¡± Jack nodded and agreed to the deal. He could sense that the other party was helping him, so he accepted it. The Crown Crystal Man nodded and swiped his card to give Jack 1,400 contribution points. 1,400 contribution points! That was a hundred and forty million! Jack couldn¡¯t help but feel emotional. I have become a billionaire. After the transaction, Jack asked casually, ¡°What side effects does this mask have?¡± ¡°None.¡± The Crown Crystal Man paused and added, ¡°Her previous owner was the top powerhouse, Dark Flare.¡± ¡°Many outer realm monsters hate this mask to the core. They will probably attack the owner of this mask recklessly.¡± ¡°If this can be considered a side effect¡­¡± Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Her previous owner was the top powerhouse, Dark Flare? Jack was surprised. The equipment used by the top powerhouse was only worth 200 contribution points? Jack believed that if he sold the mask to someone else, he would definitely be able to sell it for more than 2,000 contribution points. Even if it was 20,000 contribution points, there would be a lot of people willing to bid! This was practically a big bargain! As for the mocking buff the mask came with, Jack didn¡¯t care. His Death Soldiers needed more EXP to thrive. If the demons from the outer realm came knocking? He couldn¡¯t ask for more. The Crown Crystal Man kept the other two items and sent Jack out of the Trading Mystic Realm. Jack logged out of the game and looked at the sun rising over the horizon. A new day began. ¡°Next, we¡¯ll be reporting the morning news of the school.¡± ¡°At 4:58 this morning, the player Legion successfully conquered the Earth Elemental Dungeon and became the Master of the Earth Elemental Mystic Realm¡­¡± ¡°Last night, something happened in the southeastern region of the outer realm. Grandmaster Brother Ma attacked and repelled the outer realm attack¡­¡± ¡°According to experts¡¯ predictions, the scores for this year¡¯s college entrance examination are: Level 75, Cultural Class 90 marks, Combat Class 90 marks. The experts have pointed out that children hate playing games mainly because of their parents¡­¡± ¡­ Before Jack could return to his seat, Mack rushed into the classroom. ¡°Jack, I know a huge secret!¡± ¡°What?¡± Mike said in a low voice. ¡°Last night, both Legion and the Four Incandescent Flames were in the Earth Elemental Dungeon. The Legion beat her to the dungeon. The Four Incandescent Flames¡¯ face turned green!¡± ¡°Who is the Four Incandescent Flames¡± Jack looked confused. Why didn¡¯t he know this person? Go see a doctor if her face turned green! What does it have to do with me? Mike looked puzzled. ¡°Don¡¯t you read the school forum? ¡°Fan Jia¡¯er¡¯s ID is Four Incandescent Flames, and she¡¯s a genius with Grade S talent.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Jack¡¯s reply was too perfunctory. Jack was really not interested in such a genius. The gap between the two would only grow wider. Jack¡¯s eyes were already on something farther away. Mike couldn¡¯t help but complain. ¡°Fan Jia¡¯er is definitely going to become a top student in the best Guardian University! This year¡¯s scholar¡¯s scores might not be lower than Level 97, or even Level 99! ¡± They gossiped a while over Fan Jia¡¯er, then Mack changed the subject. ¡°Jack, in the combat test this afternoon, you might face the Four Incandescent Flames! Her talent is related to the Earth Elemental. Her endurance is strong! Her Defense is astonishing! You have to be careful. ¡± ¡°Got it. Let¡¯s not talk about this. Let¡¯s talk about you.¡± As soon as Jack spoke, Mike couldn¡¯t stop talking. He began to tell the rest of the inspirational story about how he¡¯d managed to rise from Level 5 to Level 9 overnight. Mike was a good friend. He had helped Jack a lot during the holidays and even dragged him to Mike¡¯s house for dinner. He didn¡¯t treat him as an outsider. The two of them were more like brothers than real brothers. Listening to Mike¡¯s motivational story, Jack began to think about how to help Mike increase his strength. It would be best if he could help Mike get into Guardian University. Mike¡¯s father was a guardian who had retreated from the outer realm. His biggest dream was for his son to get into Guardian University and bring glory to his comrades. Although Mack usually giggled and talked nonstop, but he worked no less harder than others in the game. It was already very impressive for him to be able to reach Level 9 in two days with a mere Class C talent! With Jack¡¯s help and Mike¡¯s own efforts, getting into Guardian University was not a problem. The morning classes passed quickly. Jack and Mike went to the cafeteria for lunch, then went back to the classroom and leaned over the table for a short break. The bell rang. The afternoon combat test was about to begin. ¡°Jack, you can do it!¡± Mike voluntarily became a cheerleader. Jack rolled his eyes at him. The physical education teacher stood on the field, taking attendance with the roster. ¡°Zhang Hu, Fei Jianyue, Zhou Dapeng¡­¡± ¡°A total of 33 people are here. Let me explain the rules of the combat test!¡± ¡°Apart from Fan Jia¡¯er, 32 people will draw lots for one-on-one matches. The winner will enter the next round. The winner among the 32 people will fight with Fan Jia¡¯er to determine the champion of this combat test! ¡± When he finished explaining the rules, there was a commotion among the students. No one had expected such an unfair competition. ¡°That¡¯s unfair! Why did Fan Jia¡¯er secure the finals?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, why!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± The PE teacher reprimanded. ¡°Fair? The awakening of talent is unfair! If you have the ability, you can also awaken a Grade S talent. I can guarantee that you will enter the finals! Would the enemy talk about fairness and harmony on the battlefield? If you want to win the championship, use your own fists! ¡± These words made the pubescent teenagers¡¯ blood boil with excitement. Mike was a little disappointed after hearing the rules. ¡°Jack, it¡¯s over. I¡¯m sure you won¡¯t meet Fan Jia¡¯er.¡± ¡°You have so little confidence in yourself?¡± Jack was still smiling calmly. He was now a Level 30 Primordial Shield Envoy. Due to his Grade B talent, his basic attributes were much higher than others of the same level. Not to mention these students who were only around Level 10. He had the passive skill [Shield Value]. Although skills could not be used in this duel test, his [Shield Value] attribute was not a skill. Even though it was a skill, it was a passive skill. Jack could not turn it off. There was no reason for him to lose at all. The PE teacher said a few more things to take note of. ¡°If you are injured in combat, there will be a specialized teacher in charge of treatment. As long as you are not dead, you can come back!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to hold back in a fight. The referees are all Level 300 and above third-grade guardians. If your lives are in danger, he will immediately stop your opponent. Don¡¯t worry, you won¡¯t be able to kill him!¡± ¡­ Jack couldn¡¯t help thinking as he listened to the PE teacher. If he were to attack someone directly, he would be able to ignore their Defense without any cooldown. They would probably be killed with a single attack! Want to save someone? They could be killed instantly. How were they going to save them? Jack¡¯s luck was pretty good. His first opponent was a male classmate with the same Grade B talent. The two of them stood ten steps apart in the arena. ¡°Bob from Class Four, Grade B Talent, Level 10 Warrior.¡± The other party introduced himself enthusiastically. Jack smiled back. ¡°Class 3 Jack, Grade B Talent, Shield Envoy. Level confidential.¡± Bob was critical of it. He just assumed that Jack hadn¡¯t reached Level 10 and was too embarrassed to say it out loud. ¡°A Warrior against a Shield Envoy, and you are not allowed to use your skills. It can only be considered that you are out of luck.¡± It was common knowledge that the Shield Envoy did not have any damage skills in the early stages. Bob said seriously. ¡°After this match, we can arrange for a fair fight in the game!¡± ¡°No need.¡± Jack declined the offer. His time in the game was very precious. ¡°Begin!¡± The teacher gave the order. Jack and Bob moved at the same time! Bob had just taken a step forward when Jack seized the opportunity! He lifted his leg, twisted his waist, and exerted strength! A powerful kick! Bob¡¯s pupils shrank. So fast! Pa¡ª There was a muffled sound, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking. Bob had no time to react before Jack¡¯s leg hit him in the stomach. He was sent flying! In midair, he had a question in his mind: Jack was really a Shield Envoy?! Was he a freaking Shield Envoy?! Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Three broken ribs, pierced into the lungs, completely incapacitated¡­¡± The referee judged. ¡°Jack wins!¡± A pure white ball of light flew out and instantly healed Bob. Physical injuries could be healed. But Bob was disheartened by the blow he had received. ¡°I actually lost to a Shield Envoy in combat. What a disgrace¡­¡± His eyes were glazed and his mind was filled with memories of that terrifying whipping leg. One move to subdue the enemy. The difference in strength between the two was beyond Bob¡¯s imagination. The combat test continued. The battle between Bob and Jack was only one of 16 unremarkable matches. Both of them had Grade B talents, which were not as eye-catching as Grade A talents. Most of the attention was on the Grade A students. Grade A talent meant that they had a bright future. If they wanted to get into Guardian University, there was a 90% chance that they could get into the top university. Each year, Grade A level talents account for 5% of the candidates admitted to the top Guardian Universities. Grade B talent? One might not even be admitted in ten years! At the end of the first round, of the 16 students who won, 9 were Grade A talents and 7 were Grade B talents. Something worth mentioning. When a Grade A talent student fought against a Grade B talent student. The former won with an overwhelming advantage! A 100% chance of winning! All Grade A talents advanced! The advantage of talent was obvious. ¡­ ¡­ There was a grandstand not far from the arena. The dozens of people in the stands dispersed. They were all admissions teachers from the Guardian University. Among them, there were many universities such as the Southwestern Guardian University ranked 22, and the East Capital Guardian University ranked 8. After watching the first round of combat. The teachers commented one by one. ¡°There are a lot of potential students in the four high schools this year. I wonder how many of our East Capital Guardian University would be able to recruit.¡± ¡°That Thief named Ethel is not bad, he seems like a good fighter!¡± ¡°Those are just starters There¡¯s still an Grade S Fan Jia¡¯er hidden in No. 4 High School!¡± ¡°¡­¡± There was also a distance between the student recruitment teachers. For example, the Guardian University teacher from the Southwest Territory was obviously at odds with the teacher from East Capital. Like students. The teachers also had their own clique. Different groups communicated with each other and commented on the students they favored. With the exception of three people. The two men and one woman stood in a corner of the stands. No one went over to talk to them, it seemed extraordinarily lonely. These three people represented the Imperial Capital Guardian University, Magic City Guardian University, and the Federation Guardian University. Among the Guardian Universities, these three were top existences that could not be challenged! To the three of them, the first round of combat could not even be considered as a starter. In the entire No.4 High School, they were probably only interested in Fan Jia¡¯er. The teachers¡¯ discussion quickly stopped. The second round of combat began. Compared to the first round, the level of bloodshed had risen by a level. One of the students even had his leg broken, and the white bone residue in the air was extremely terrifying. The students who had never seen blood before screamed. But the teachers were used to it. ¡°Huh.¡± A female teacher from Magic City Guardian University. She wore a pure black suit with golden rims, a skirt that hugged her hips, and golden glasses. She was dressed like a career woman. She looked towards a spot, as if a student had attracted her attention. The two male teachers beside her also followed her gaze. The male teacher from the Federation Guardian University had a square face and wore a Chinese tunic suit. He said. ¡°It¡¯s just Grade B talent. What¡¯s so special about it?¡± The other male teacher from the Imperial Capital Guardian University had a face full of scars. Scarface only glanced at him. A snort escaped his nostrils and he turned away. An average Grade B talent. If Scarface recruited a Grade B Talent back to school, the dean would break his legs! The woman with golden-rimmed glasses said. ¡°If everything goes according to plan, he should be the one fighting Fan Jia¡¯er.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Scarface was unconvinced. ¡°What do you want to bet on?¡± He believed in his own judgment. There were eight people left on the field. Except for Jack, the others all had Grade A talents! The difficulty for Jack to break out of the encirclement was comparable to reaching the heavens! ¡°200 contribution points.¡± The woman with gold-rimmed glasses made a bet worth 20 million! The square-faced man took a deep breath and smiled awkwardly. ¡°We are poor. We can¡¯t afford to gamble.¡± The square-faced man withdrew from the bet. Scarface grinned, and said boldly, ¡°Okay! Thank you in advance for the 200 contribution points!¡± The combat test continued. Jack passed all the rounds and eliminated all his opponents. Scarface¡¯s expression was a little awkward and gloomy. He never thought that the guy that the woman with gold-rimmed glasses thought highly of would actually make it to the end! With a beautiful whipping kick, Jack sent his last opponent flying. He had successfully stood out out of the 32 contestants and obtained the opportunity to challenge Fan Jia¡¯er and fight for the championship! ¡°Could this guy¡¯s hidden occupation be a Warrior?¡± Scarface handed over 200 contribution points. He became more interested in this interesting little fellow. The woman with gold-rimmed glasses said coldly. ¡°We¡¯ll know when we go down and ask.¡± With that, he took the lead and walked off the stands. Scarface was stunned for a moment before he quickly followed behind. ¡­ ¡­ ¡°Not bad, Jack. You¡¯ve hidden yourself well!¡± Mike was excited. He was delighted to see Jack leading. He was genuinely happy for Jack. ¡°He actually won second place in the combat test. Congratulations!¡± ¡°Scram, scram, I lost the last round before we even fought?¡± Jack stood outside resting. In the battle just now, he won without even breaking a sweat. The difference in level, coupled with Jack¡¯s outstanding combat talent, the opponent had been kicked out by Jack before he could even make a move! The situation had changed from the very beginning. It seemed particularly boring. Jack wanted to try out the passive skill effect of Primordial Thorn. What kind of effect would 10% [Shield Value] be on a human? ¡°Wow, beauty!¡± Mike looked behind Jack. A beautiful woman with gold-rimmed glasses was walking over. Standing in front of Jack, the woman with gold-rimmed glasses spoke. ¡°Hello, student.¡± ¡°I¡¯m from Magic City Guardian University. Are you interested in learning more?¡± Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°She¡¯s actually a teacher at Magic City Guardian University!¡± Mike took a step back weakly, giving way to Jack. He was even more nervous than Jack! Mike screamed madly in his heart. ¡°Jack, you must seize the opportunity to leave a good impression on the teacher!¡± ¡°If I could get a bonus, that would be¡­ that would be¡­¡± Jack didn¡¯t even dare to think about it! Compared to Mike, Jack seemed more at ease. He was not nervous at all as he asked with interest. ¡°Does the Magic City Guardian University have better equipment?¡± ¡°Of course, as long as you have enough contribution points. Platinum, Diamond, and even higher quality equipment and skills are not a problem. ¡± The higher the grade of the equipment, the higher the attribute bonus. Jack needed high-level equipment and a huge amount of low-level equipment to equip the Death Soldiers! The most important thing now was to find a backer! ¡°How much equipment reserves do you have?¡± Jack¡¯s next question stunned the woman with gold-rimmed glasses. What? She even thought that she had heard wrongly. Equipment reserves? ¡°Well¡­ I¡¯m not sure¡­¡± The woman with the gold-rimmed glasses added, ¡°However, the Magic City Guardian University has the Cast Mountain Mystic Realm. It is the mystic realm with the most equipment in the entire Divine Realm!¡± Cast Mountain. Jack made a note of the name of the Mystic Realm. If he chose the Magic City Guardian University, he would definitely make a trip to the Cast Mountain. Otherwise, Jack would have to find a way to trade an entry to the Mystic Realm, and head to the Cast Mountain as Legion. When Jack had finished asking what he was interested in, it was the woman with gold-rimmed glasses¡¯ turn to ask questions. ¡°I¡¯ve read your information. You¡¯ve just awakened your talent two days ago, and spent a total of 12 hours in the game. From the battle just now, your basic attributes were no lower than Level 20. Can you tell me how you did it?¡± Faced with the woman with gold-rimmed glasses¡¯ question, Jack replied unperturbed, with the answer he had prepared. ¡°It¡¯s a secret. It has to do with my talent.¡± Jack didn¡¯t reveal too many secrets. This could be the perfect time. Keep his talent a secret and let others guess. Time would be in his favor. ¡°It seems like your Grade B talent will allow you to gain a greater advantage in the early stages. It might even be stronger than most Grade A talents.¡± The woman with gold-rimmed glasses handed him an invitation. ¡°This is an invitation letter for the Magic City Guardian University summer training. Those who perform well can at most receive +20 points in the college entrance examination. Do consider it.¡± The invitation was the size of a palm, and was black with a golden pattern. Such a small invitation card was worth tens of millions! It would be a waste not to take something that was offered to him. Although Jack felt that he might not use it. Summer camp? More than 50 days to go. In just two days, Jack had reached Level 30. In fifty days, Jack might have already become a Guardian. Jack would be able to get into the top Guardian University with or without extra points. ¡°That¡¯s all.¡± After the woman with gold-rimmed glasses left, the PE teacher came in later and asked in a low voice. ¡°Is there anything wrong?¡± Jack put away the invitation and didn¡¯t say anything. The PE teacher added, ¡°The last battle will be held indoors. Since it involved a Grade S talent student, there should not be too many onlookers.¡± ¡°Come with me now.¡± The PE teacher led Jack away from the arena. The student spectators were greatly disappointed and could only leave helplessly. ¡°I thought I would be able to see Fan Jia¡¯er fight!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s disperse. There¡¯s nothing interesting about a Grade B talent fighting a Grade S talent. There¡¯s no way he will win.¡± ¡°It¡¯s time to go home and start playing the game earlier. Does anyone want to team up for the Class Advancement?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The journey was smooth. Jack came to a special combat room. Fan Jia¡¯er had been waiting for a long time. She had tried to conquer the Earth Elemental Dungeon the night before. In the end, she lost to Legion and didn¡¯t even get the Earth Elemental Heart. Fortunately, the principal thought highly of Fan Jia¡¯er and took the initiative to buy Earth Elemental Heart from Legion. For this, she owed the school 900 contribution points! If she could become the top scholar, this sum of money would be written off. If not, Fan Jia¡¯er would have to work after graduation to repay her debts. There was no free lunch in this world. This was especially true when the threat of the outer realm was approaching their defensive line. The price of every resource was extremely precious. ¡°She¡¯s my opponent?¡± Fan Jia¡¯er waited impatiently. As a Grade S class talent, she had already lost a portion of her freedom in reality. The Dark Whisper Alliance was active. The school had specially assigned two teachers to protect Fan Jia¡¯er. ¡°Grade B talent¡­ Is there no one else with better talent in school? He actually made it to the finals.¡± Fan Jia¡¯er rolled her eyes. It happened to be seen by Jack, who had just entered. ¡°The little girl has an attitude.¡± Jack was far more experienced than this seventeen-year-old girl. He could tell at a glance that Fan Jia¡¯er was acting like she¡¯s the queen. Arrogant, aloof, looking down on everything. It was easy to treat this kind of illness. A beating would be good enough. If a beating wasn¡¯t enough, he would beat her up again. There was a glass wall in the combat room, and seven or eight teachers were standing behind it, observing the fight. Compared to the stands, there were much fewer people here. If a Grade S talent became a Guardian, they could at least reach Level 500! The mayor boss of New North City was only slightly above Level 400. They paid close attention to the battle. To be exact, they had been paying attention to Fan Jia¡¯er¡¯s performance. No one was optimistic about Jack. Even the woman with gold-rimmed glasses who had talked to Jack previously, was not optimistic that Jack could win. ¡°Begin!¡± After the referee issued the order. Fan Jia¡¯er took a step forward, not even intending to hear Jack¡¯s self introduction. ¡°Let¡¯s end this quickly. It¡¯s a waste of time!¡± ¡°That suits me.¡± Both of them exerted their strength at the same time and rushed out of their original spot like arrows. Jack whipped out his leg again. His attributes were superior, which determined his speed and strength! Not to mention that his physical attributes were equivalent to a typical Warrior. ¡°So fast!¡± Looking at the afterimage in the sky, Fan Jia¡¯er was shocked. She instinctively raised her knee to block the attack. Pa¡ª Jack¡¯s calf hit her hard. Fan Jia¡¯er¡¯s body swayed a little, but she managed to withstand it. Jack was slightly surprised. His calf felt like it had kicked a rock. Obviously, he was perfectly capable of kicking the rock to pieces! The force was directly received! ¡°Oh, the effect of a Grade S talent?¡± The effect of this increase in Defense was very easy to counter. He only needed to attack continuously. His kick attack failed. Jack stepped forward and struck her with his right hand at a tricky angle. A heavy handed attack! He did not cower and attack with a heavy punch! Bang! Bang! Bang! A flurry of fists rained down on her defenses! Behind the glass wall, the surrounding teachers¡¯ mouths were so widely open they could stuff their fists in. Shock, doubt, and confusion were written all over their faces! What happened? Why¡­ was Jack the one beating up Fan Jia¡¯er?! Is there a mistake somewhere? Chapter 20 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios It was different from the shock of the surrounding teachers. Fan Jia¡¯er felt her heart burning with rage. She was hysterical. She was so arrogant before, but now she was in such a sorry state! She, who had been beaten up passively, bit her red lips so hard that blood was almost dripping! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Fan Jia¡¯er shielded her head with her arms and blocked the attacks passively. She was at an absolute disadvantage. If this continued, even if Fan Jia¡¯er won in the end, she would be utterly humiliated. ¡°He is just an ordinary Grade B talent. I¡¯m a Grade S talent!¡± ¡°No, I can¡¯t lose!¡± ¡°They are all watching. Teachers, Principal, I, I cannot lose!¡± Fan Jia¡¯er struggled to hold on, trying to think of a way to break out of this situation. Jack was visibly more relaxed. He only needed to attack. If one punch could not make one cry, then two punches! The battle had reached its climax. Not only did the rhythm of Jack¡¯s attacks not slow down, it became even more intense! ¡°Fan Jia¡¯er is going to lose.¡± The woman with the gold-rimmed glasses spoke first. Scarface and the square-faced man did not retort. In their hearts, Fan Jia¡¯er had already lost! ¡°It would be great if Jack had a Grade S talent.¡± Scarface could not help but wonder. ¡°Not only is this kid physically strong, his combat sense is also very keen!¡± The more Scarface looked at Jack, the more he liked him. On the surface, he still looked indifferent, and his eyes were filled with coldness. It seemed hard not to care about Jack. ¡°This is the last move.¡± The three of them came to a conclusion at the same time. Fan Jia¡¯er would definitely not be able to withstand Jack¡¯s heavy punch! After being attacked continuously, Fan Jia¡¯er was on the verge of breaking down! Jack threw a charged punch at the door. Fan Jia¡¯er was shocked. If she had taken the punch, she would definitely lose! No! What should she do? She had to turn the situation around! Fan Jia¡¯er was pushed to her limits, and she almost lost control of her body. It was as if she had returned to the Divine Realm game and was facing an invincible BOSS! Fan Jia¡¯er subconsciously unleashed her combo attack. ¡°Rock Shield!¡± ¡°Body Binding Stone Lock!¡± ¡°Earth Spike!¡± The combat room shook violently. Instant skill activation! Rock shields appeared around her body, and cracks appeared on the ground. The stones turned into chains in an attempt to restrain Jack. It was as if something was brewing underground and was about to break out! ¡°Oh no! She used a skill!¡± The three recruitment teachers and the referee noticed something. Unfortunately, it was too late! Jack was too close to Fan Jia¡¯er. Her instant skill cast did not give the opponent any time to react. Fan Jia¡¯er was already a Level 25 Earth Mage. If Jack took a hit from her skill, Jack might die! ¡°Save him!¡± The three teachers took action at the same time, shattering the glass. Three shadows rushed out. Before they arrived, a loud sound rang out. Bang! A petite figure flew out. The woman with the gold-rimmed glasses subconsciously reached out and released a healing skill. ¡°Jack, you didn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°How could it be you!!!¡± The one who was sent flying was Fan Jia¡¯er! In the nick of time, Jack used his Primordial Favor on himself. Fan Jia¡¯er sneak an attack on Jack, he could not be blamed for using his skill. As his [Shield Value] increased by nearly 10,000 points, he was immune to all the damage in front of him. At the same time, Jack did not use Shield Attack as he was afraid of killing Fan Jia¡¯er. Instead, he threw a heavy punch at his opponent. He sent the other party flying! As for where that punch hit, Jack didn¡¯t care. She was indeed a cute girl. So soft and smooth. As Jack kicked the stones in front of him one by one, the teachers finally realized what had just happened! The entire combat room was abnormally quiet. They could only hear the sound of their heartbeats. They rubbed his eyes. ¡°This¡­¡± ¡°Jack defeated Fan Jia¡¯er!?¡± ¡°Fan Jia¡¯er used a skill in anger? Jack won?¡± ¡°This is too crazy!¡± ¡°Speaking of which, what skill did Jack use just now? He¡¯s actually did not get injured¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± The teachers of the admissions office usually travel all over the country and have encountered all kinds of situations. But today! They had really broadened their horizons! A Grade B student had defeated a Grade S student with an absolute advantage in experience! In the past 60 years, this was something unheard of! There might not be such a case in the next hundred years. Jack had created a miracle in front of them! There was a subtle change in the way the woman with the gold-rimmed glasses looked at Jack. This student had repeatedly surprised him. Her evaluation of Jack rose once again! She had a bad feeling. If she did not recruit this student as soon as possible, she might not get a second chance in the future! If that happened, she might regret it for the rest of her life! The woman with the gold-rimmed glasses made a prompt decision. She handed the still unconscious Fan Jia¡¯er to the Healing Teacher and walked straight to Jack. ¡°Let¡¯s get to know each other again. I¡¯m a third-year student of Magic City Guardian University, Mokvina.¡± Mokvina took the initiative to shake Jack¡¯s hand. The other teachers were dumbfounded! This was the prodigy of Magic City Guardian University! The aloof goddess who was usually unwilling to say another word! What was she trying to do! What Mokvina did next shocked everyone! ¡°Jack, if you are willing to sign an intent contract, I can fight for the highest grade bonus points for you. Once you reach Level 60 in the Divine Realm, you will be accepted as an official student by the Magic City Guardian University!¡± Mokvina had just finished speaking when Scarface¡¯s eyes widened and his hair stood on end. He growled, ¡°Mokvina, y-you¡¯re crazy!¡± ¡­ Chapter 21 ¡°Chereven, I don¡¯t need your guidance!¡± Mokvina¡¯s attitude was unusually tough. ¡°You!¡± Scarface¡¯s expression appeared awkward when Mokvina shouted at him. In addition, he also had some thoughts about Jack, so he couldn¡¯t refute Mokvina. The atmosphere froze. Fortunately, the vice-principal appeared and broke the stalemate. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t let this affect our relationship. We still have some internal matters to settle. Why don¡¯t you give us some space first?¡± Since the vice-principal came to mediate, the three teachers could only give up. The three of them were arranged to go to a waiting room. Jack was taken to the vice-principal¡¯s office. The vice-principal closed the door and relaxed. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled. ¡°Jack, you¡¯ve really done the academy proud this time!¡± Surprisingly, not only did the vice-principal not reprimand Jack, he seemed very happy. Jack didn¡¯t understand what was going on for a while. The vice-principal pointed to the couch and motioned for Jack to sit down. ¡°En~ a Grade B talent defeated a Grade S talent! This has probably never happened before in history! Jack, when you become successful in the future, don¡¯t forget about No.4 High School, and vice-principal.¡± ¡°Teacher John must be joking.¡± The vice-principal usually taught physics classes, and Jack was his student. Rather than calling him vice-principal, Jack addressed him as Teacher John. Jack sat on the sofa, curious. What would happen next? Would he get reprimanded for injuring the school¡¯s top scholar? Vice-principal John saw through his thoughts and asked, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you won¡¯t be reprimanded for injuring Fan Jia¡¯er. Instead, you will be rewarded! The Gold reward that was originally supposed to be given to the champion, will be increased to two! You can choose two skills, equipment, and even items. As for that little incident during combat¡­¡± Vice-principal John looked like he wanted to say something but stopped himself. He was smiling. This reward was extremely generous! When Jack participated in the combat test, there was only one prize for the champion. He had originally planned to use this reward to exchange for a decent shield. He did not expect for Teacher John to increase the reward to two! Two rewards of his choice! Its price could not be underestimated. Jack knew. In the combat, Fan Jia¡¯er had violated the Federation¡¯s rules when she used her skills on impulse. If he had been seriously injured by Fan Jia¡¯er¡¯s skill, his life might have been in danger! The Heavenly Realm Federation would definitely hold her responsible. By then, not to mention the top scholar of the college entrance examination, Fan Jia¡¯er might even end up in jail! Jack successfully defeated Fan Jia¡¯er and beat her up (((¦Õ(¡ò¥í¡ò;)¦Õ))). He had helped the academy resolve a huge problem! These things were hush money for Jack. The academy had invested too much into Grade S Fan Jia¡¯er, they couldn¡¯t afford to lose anything. At the same time, Jack was also a student of the college. If these resources were given to him, there would be no loss on No.4 High School¡¯s end. There was no reason to benefit outsiders. Jack displayed astonishing strength in the combat test! As for his potential, it was limited by his Grade B talent. There was no way to draw a conclusion for now. If he did not accept this hush money, the teacher would not be at ease. He felt like he was forced to keep it¡­ This feeling was great! The more the better. ¡°Thank you, Vice-principal.¡± Jack was still very sensible and accepted this compensation. ¡°Good, good. What reward do you want, then? Tell me and I¡¯ll go get it for you.¡± ¡°Okay, I want¡­¡± Jack hurriedly submitted his request to Vice-principal John. Under the vice-principal strange gaze, he walked out of the office. Jack was still smiling. His choice was actually very simple, so simple that the other party had a puzzled look on his face. Jack chose two pieces of equipment, a Gold class shield and full-body armor. Usually, most people would choose the skills that they wanted. After all, skills would benefit them for life and the price was much higher than equipment. However, Jack still chose equipment! He also emphasized on the requirement of attribute points boost as the main condition. Even if there was no skill enhancement, it was fine. Jack wanted attribute points! His occupation core was [Shield Value]! The Shield Value was the combination of all attributes! After waiting for a while, Vice-principal John returned. He was afraid that Jack would regret it, so he quickly handed it to Jack. Gold class Shield and Gold class full-body armor. Jack accepted both items. ¡°Teacher John, can I go now?¡± ¡°Yes, of course.¡± After sending Jack away, Teacher John made a few more calls to make sure nothing went wrong. He laid on the sofa and sighed. ¡°This Fan Jia¡¯er really knows how to cause trouble!¡± ¡°That¡¯s good too. Jack taught her a lesson. Let her know that there¡¯s always someone better than her, so that she doesn¡¯t think too much of herself.¡± ¡°Jack, you should pay more attention too. Perhaps you can get into Magic City Guardian University!¡± ¡°The quality of the students this year is not bad. After the college entrance examination, they will give out bonuses. It might be enough to get a new house¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡­ In the waiting room. While Jack was being pulled away by Teacher John, Because of Jack, the relationship between the three recruitment teachers had changed subtly. Mokvina made a phone call in the corner. ¡°Teacher, Jack is very special. After careful consideration, I suggest starting the special admission process!¡± ¡°What era are we in now? Why are you still so inflexible? Why can¡¯t you recruit someone without Grade S talent?!¡± ¡°Trust me, if you don¡¯t recruit Jack , you will regret it for the rest of your life!¡± Mokvina hung up, clearly upset. She had just rebuffed by her teacher. To start the special admission process for a Grade B student, even if his teacher was a professor at Magic City Guardian University, he had no right to do so. Scarface Cherevin mocked. ¡°Are you really interested in that Grade B talent kid?¡± Cherevin said proudly. ¡°Even if I, Cherevin, die, in the hands of the outer realm monsters, and get killed by the Boss, I will not give a Grade B student any special privileges!¡± After saying those harsh words, Cherevin did not forget to reprimand Fan Jia¡¯er. ¡°This Grade S talent is not good either. I didn¡¯t expect her to be defeated by a Grade B talent. New North City is getting worse year by year.¡± Then, Cherevin whistled casually and left. ¡°I¡¯m going back first. There¡¯s still a dungeon to clear tonight. I advise you guys not to waste any more time. They¡¯re all trash.¡± After Cherevin left, only Mokvina and the square-face man from Federation Guardian University were left in the room, The square-faced man asked curiously. ¡°You think so highly of Jack?¡± As teachers of the admissions office, they knew very well what was going on. The special admission process would not be initiated so easily. Those who were specially recruited would have the risk of being dropped out if their performance was too poor after entering the school. At the same time, the guarantor would be implicated and their resources would be reduced. Vice versa. Both sides have a lot to gain and a lot to lose. Mokvina was willing to do this for Jack, she was clearly confident in him. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Mokvina¡¯s words were powerful. The square-faced man asked curiously. ¡°But Cherevin is not optimistic about Jack. One of you must have made a wrong judgment, right?¡± Mokvina couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes at him. ¡°Are all of you from Federation Guardian University idiots?¡± Clearly, the square-face man was the worse among the three. Low EQ: He lowered the average IQ of the three. High EQ: Idiot. Mokvina said angrily. ¡°Cherevin doesn¡¯t think highly of Jack?¡± ¡°That bastard left in such a hurry because he wanted to stop Jack earlier!¡± ¡°Damn it, those old fogies from the teaching department don¡¯t know how to be flexible at all!¡± ¡­ ¡­ At the school gate. Jack had just found his best friend, Mike. Unexpectedly, he found a ¡°kind-looking¡± scar-faced man beside Mike. Mike mistook Cherevin for a recruitment teacher from a third-rate Guardian University. After all, he was willing to chat with a Grade C student. The school was not much better. What were the chances that he was from the Imperial Capital Guardian University? Mike hadn¡¯t thought about that at all. They had talked for a while before Jack arrived. Mike finally summoned up the courage to ask the question he was most concerned about. ¡°Teacher Cherevin, what is your school¡¯s admission level? Look¡­ do you think I have a chance?¡± Cherevin kept nodding. ¡°Mike, there¡¯s hope. Our admission requirements aren¡¯t high. The future belongs to the young people who are willing to fight for it!¡± Mike was very excited. My impression points are finally full? If he passed the level, wouldn¡¯t he be able to be admitted into a Guardian University? Just then, both of them noticed Jack¡¯s arrival. Before Mike could help introduce them. Cherevin stepped forward and held out his hand to Jack. ¡°Jack, are you interested in learning more about the Imperial Capital¡¯s Guardian University?¡± Jack: ¡­ Mike: ??? Had he seen this scene before? Teacher Cherevin was actually from the Imperial Capital¡¯s Guardian University!!! ¡­ Chapter 22 ¡°Imperial Capital Guardian University. Are you interested in learning more about it?¡± The words kept ringing in Mike¡¯s ears on the way home. The impact of Cherevin¡¯s words was too great. Along the way, he ignored all kinds of sales. ¡°Student, do you want to learn about swimming and fitness?¡± ¡°Unable to apply for a card? For 1000, I¡¯ll give 3000!¡± ¡°Only 800,000 for down payment for a house in the suburban housing district!¡± ¡°Get a license on installments. Interested?¡± ¡­ He had almost arrived at the compound when Mike turned back around. Looking at Jack beside him, he was still in disbelief. ¡°Jack, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to the Imperial Capital Guardian University. I¡¯m not dreaming, am I?¡± Jack spread his hands and smiled helplessly. ¡°How should I know?¡± He was also confused. Jack did not know what Cherevin, who claimed to be from the student recruitment office of the Imperial Capital Guardian University, was trying to do. Mike, after reflecting for a while, said. ¡°Indeed, Teacher Cherevin is a weirdo!¡± ¡°After saying those words to you, he actually turned around and ran away. He even said that he would help you apply for a special admission process. It¡¯s too strange. Do you think he¡¯s a cheat!?¡± The recruitment teachers from top universities were extremely rare. Mike and Jack had never come into contact with them before. Mike, who was kept in the dark, mistook Cherevin for a third-rate Guardian University teacher. He almost made a fool of himself. Mike was curious. ¡°Jack, tell me, why are you so popular?¡± Jack said calmly. ¡°Because I beat up Fan Jia¡¯er.¡± Mike: ¡­ ¡°Do you want to try it too? I can help you ask her out.¡± Mike quickly waved his hands and refused, ¡°No, no, I want to live a few more years.¡± Did he really think that a Grade S talent was a punching bag!? Mike really went to look for her, it would be hard to say who would beat who up! Mike quickly changed the subject and pulled Jack toward his house. ¡°Let¡¯s have dinner at my place tonight. It¡¯ll be lively. I¡¯ll get my mom to cook a few more dishes so that we can celebrate you getting into Imperial Capital Guardian University!¡± Jack laughed. ¡°Not a word you said is reliable.¡± ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll take it that you really got in.¡± Mike was very generous. ¡°My buddy got into the Imperial Capital Guardian University, we must have a drink tonight¡­¡± ¡°What would you like to drink?¡± A familiar voice came from behind him. Mike¡¯s body stiffened, the knot in his throat quivered. ¡°Drink¡­ juice!¡± Mike turned around, scowled, and forced a smile. ¡°Dad, why did you get off work so early today?¡± ¡°Hello, Uncle Owen.¡± Mack¡¯s father, Owen, was not taller than 175cm. His figure was thin, and blind in one eye. Mike was usually bold, but when he saw his dad he instantly cowered, like a mouse seeing a cat. Owen had once fought on the front line of the outer realm and killed many outer realm monsters. His eye was injured at that time. It was cursed by the monster and lost most of his combat power. He could only resign to being a B-lister and transfer back to work in New North City. The combatants who retired from the front line would be treated much better. Owen was now the head of the city defense department and was responsible for security patrol. Owen glared at his son, then turned to Jack and smiled. ¡°Little Jack, you¡¯re here too. Your auntie misses you every day. She said that the college entrance examination is coming up soon. You can come to my house to eat from now on. Save some time to look up strategies and play games.¡± Before Jack could refuse, Owen raised his hand. ¡°It¡¯s decided, then. Let¡¯s go home. I still have to work overtime after eating.¡± Jack could only comply respectfully. After transmigrating, Jack had always been alone. Mike¡¯s house felt more like home to Jack. It was also one of his concerns in this world. The good food that Mike¡¯s mother made was wiped out by the few of them. Owen didn¡¯t forget to remind Jack and Mike before he went out to work. ¡°Don¡¯t run around after school. Go home early.¡± ¡°Divine Realm Boss materialization is about to begin again. Experts speculate that New North City is the target this time!¡± ¡°The higher-ups have already sounded the Level-four alarm. The situation might be even more troublesome.¡± Owen said nothing more and hurried away. These two children were still too young. The guardian would handle the Boss materialization. ¡°Boss materialization?¡± It was the first time Jack had heard of this term. Mike said mysteriously. ¡°I¡¯ve read my dad¡¯s information secretly. Every once in a while, the Bosses in the Divine Realm will materialize in reality and cause a lot of damage!¡± ¡°Last year, the magnitude 9 earthquake in Sanyu City was caused by a Level 60 boss!¡± ¡°No way.¡± Jack obviously didn¡¯t believe him. He retorted, ¡°A Level 60 boss can be dealt with by any guardian! How can we just ignore it?¡± If Jack remembered correctly, many people died in that earthquake! How strange. ¡°I don¡¯t understand either.¡± That was all Mike knew. ¡°It has nothing to do with us. I¡¯m going to change my occupation tonight!¡± ¡°Jack, you have to work hard. You can¡¯t be blinded by a small achievement in reality. You have to change your occupation as soon as possible in the game!¡± Jack nodded seriously. ¡°I also think that we have to change occupations quickly!¡± ¡­ ¡­ The Boss materialization matter was like a thorn in Jack¡¯s heart. Back home, he logged into the Divine Realm in advance. It was not 12 o¡¯clock yet. Jack could not play normally and could only enter the Trading Mystic Realm. The Crown Crystal Man that made Jack happy was there too. Jack launched another private chat request. ¡°You want to know about the Boss materialization?¡± The Crown Crystal Man looked surprised. ¡°This is the Federation¡¯s D-rank confidential information. It¡¯s not a problem to tell you about it. I¡¯m rather surprised that you don¡¯t know about this.¡± ¡°This is the information. Take a look for yourself. You can ask me directly if you don¡¯t understand anything.¡± A document appeared in front of Jack. He began to read it carefully. A few minutes later, he finished reading the entire document. ¡°The so-called Boss materialization is actually the evil thoughts of the top Evil Gods in the Divine Realm?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± The Crown Crystal Man said. ¡°These Evil Gods are too powerful. They are unable to enter Planet Aquamarine from the Divine Realm. Before they entered, Planet Aquamarine had already collapsed! ¡°Therefore, they separated the weaker malice and materialized them into a BOSS, which then crossed the passageway between the two worlds.¡± ¡°Once it arrives at Planet Aquamarine, the strength of these evil thoughts will increase rapidly!¡± ¡°A Level 30 evil thought might become a Level 600 terrifying existence in this city!¡± Jack felt less confused. ¡®I see.¡¯ No wonder a Level 60 boss could cause a magnitude 9 earthquake! The Crown Crystal Man sighed. ¡°The most troublesome thing is that every time the Boss materializes, the outer realm will launch a large-scale attack! We are severely lacking in manpower and often lose sight of one another. We travel around the battlefield in batches.¡± The Crown Crystal Man changed the topic. ¡°This isn¡¯t something you can worry about. Train hard and gain the ability to protect yourself.¡± In the eyes of the Crown Crystal Man, Legion had only played the game for two days, a total of 12 hours. Although he had cleared the novice dungeon with SSS grading, and conquered the Earth Elemental Dungeon, Legion was still too weak! ¡°Got it. Thanks for the information.¡± Jack¡¯s heart felt heavy as he walked out of the amethyst hut. ¡°Is the location New North City a coincidence?¡± ¡°Is it coming for me, or is it just a coincidence?¡± Jack had no idea how powerful the Evil God was. Just a wisp of their evil thoughts could manifest into a terrifying Boss that was hundreds of levels! Even the strongest human beings could not kill them! ¡°I have to find the right time to level up!¡± Jack made up his mind and set a small goal: He had to complete the hidden mission today. The sooner he reached Level 50, the sooner he could head to the Path of Trial Mystic Realm! ¡­ Chapter 23 Midnight. Most of the players in the world were in the Divine Realm at the same time. After the Divine Realm appeared, midnight to 6 AM was the safest time. The crime rate in the entire world had plummeted! After Jack entered the game, he went to where Ridman, the armor dealer, was and paid the remainder of his payment. He took away the remaining 3,000 sets of armor from various occupations and equipped the Death Soldiers. ID: None Level: Lv 29 Occupation: Trainee Warrior HP: 13,500 / 13,500 MP: 10,000 / 10,000 Talent: 100% loyalty, Facing death with equanimity, Do or die, Payback.

Consumes 5 MP. ¡­ Indeed, after equipping, the attributes of the 3,000 Death Soldiers increased significantly. Jack came to the bat cave. He used the Golden shield and full-body armor. ID: Legion Level: Lv 30 Occupation: Primordial Shield Envoy HP: 18,000 / 18,000 MP: 10,000 / 10,000 Talent: Growth Attributes: Strength 265, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5, Defense 2,600, Agility 62, Luck 1 Shield Value: 2,907 Skills: Primordial Thorn Lv1, Primordial Favor Lv20, Shield Exemption Lv1, Shield Attack Lv5 Status: Rank Power Mystic Realm: Earth Elemental Mystic Realm Skill Points: 5 His Shield Value increased by more than 1,900 points! His Health Points also increased by thousands!!! [Shield Value] was almost 3,000 points! He would be immune to the damage of monsters below Level 50 even without Primordial Favor. Jack nodded with satisfaction. He put on his mask to cover his face. He had no choice. Being handsome was also a mistake. Sometimes, he would also cause trouble for himself. Jack got ready and started back to grinding. Today, he was going to do some work. That¡¯s right! He was planning to send out the Death Soldiers to help him. Mission Details: Use your own exclusive skill to defeat a Level 45 special boss, Volt Cave Demon. During this period of time, as long as you used other skills, equipment, potions, or items, you would be deemed to have failed the mission. But he didn¡¯t say that he wasn¡¯t allowed to make use of people. Moreover, the Death Soldiers were considered players in the game. The only difference was that when they killed monsters, Jack could also gain EXP, and additional EXP on top of that. Jack smiled. ¡°I cleared 1 / 10 of the areas yesterday. Today, I¡¯m going to clear all the areas!¡± With the addition of the Death Soldiers, they hunted and reaped the lives of the mutated bats. As they went deeper into the bat cave, the monsters grew stronger. Super Mutated Bat (40) Health: 30,000 Attack: 4,500 Defense: 3,000 Skills: Blood Thirst, Ultrasound, Clone Clone: Transform into multiple shadows, immune to one attack. The damage of a super mutated bat far exceeded that of a bat. Perhaps the individual attributes of the Death Soldiers were slightly inferior to the former. However, there were a total of 3000 Death Soldiers. They were all focused on offense, defense, healing, and support. The most crucial point was the beginning of the attack. The activation of Do or die! His attributes tripled! Even the assassin with the lowest Health Points in the team also became an assassin whose ability to withstand hitting was strengthened! The Shield Envoys rushed to the front and stood in front of the super mutated bat. Under the cover of the Shield Envoys, the Warriors waved their bronze swords at the enemies in front of them. The assassins who followed closely behind launched a devastating attack! The Mages did not fall behind either. They waved their staffs and cast exquisite fireballs one by one. The Hunters were not to be outdone as they attacked the bat monsters in different forms! Every time the enemy¡¯s attack landed, the priests on the side would immediately heal. The battle continued. The 3,000 Death Soldiers attacked in an orderly manner, as if they were a whole. Jack refused to back down. With the blessing of his Primordial Favor, his [Shield Value] attribute broke through 10,000! He continuously used Shield Attack. Using an attack that ignored defense, everyone was equal in front of Jack! If using it once was not enough, he¡¯d use it twice! That was how willful Jack was! He could afford to be with no cooldown+ignore Defense! Wherever Jack went, it was as if a death god had passed through! He was spreading death! All life withered away in front of him. A rumble came from the depths of the bat cave. Boom! When Bat Demon felt that his underlings were being slaughtered, he was awakened by rage! Jack pursed his lips slightly and released his skill even faster. ¡°Hurry up and wake up, I can¡¯t wait any longer!¡± Outside the bat cave. A guild was preparing to conquer Bat Demon. They had made sufficient preparations. They were all Level 45 elites of the guild. There were 26 of them in total. There was a high reward for killing a BOSS above one¡¯s level. If they killed a BOSS below their level, there would be no reward! No one else could help them. However, Jack did not know about this. Even if he knew, he would not have any reaction. When he was in the novice dungeon, he had relied on the Death Soldiers to crush the enemy! Clearly, the Death Soldiers were not included in this category. The guild master was making the final mobilization. This was because Level 45 was the most suitable level to kill Bat Demon! ¡°There¡¯s a Weakening Potion this time. It can reduce any enemy¡¯s damage output to 10% for 5 minutes. We will definitely be able to take down Bat Demon!¡± ¡°The college entrance examination is about to begin again. The price of Level 45 equipment is skyrocketing. We¡¯ll take this opportunity to make a huge profit!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± 26 guild elites came out in full force! For this Boss battle, they had researched for a long time and knew the bat cave like the back of their hands! The mutated bats outside could not stop them. ¡°Eh? Where are the mutated bats?¡± The guild master walked in front and muttered. Along the way, not to mention the wild monsters, they did not even see a single person! ¡°Our luck is pretty good. Use less of the potion, we¡¯ll be able to earn more this time.¡± ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t let down your guard. Step up and follow!¡± They continued deeper. ¡°This is the territory of mutated bats. In order to restrain these guys, I brought three Light Priests!¡± ¡°Where are the bats? Did we go to the wrong place?¡± The guild master began to doubt his own judgment. They had walked half of the journey, but there was not nothing at all! ¡°Boss, why isn¡¯t there anything inside?¡± ¡°Are we going the wrong way?¡± Faced with his team members¡¯ doubts, the guild master summoned a hunter with a gloomy face. ¡°Throw a large-scale probe and see what¡¯s going on!¡± The Hunter pressed his hand to the ground and a green light spread out. After the probe, his expression first showed shock, then turned odd. ¡°Boss, there are a lot of people fighting with the BOSS. It¡¯s just the number of people and their occupations¡­¡± The guild master looked at the Hunter, which had a constipated expression, and asked curiously. ¡°What about the number of people and their occupations? Tell us!¡± ¡°300 Shield Envoys, 600 Warriors, 600 Mages, 450 Assassins, 450 Hunters, 600 Priests, and one with an unknown occupation.¡± ¡°A total of 3,001 people!¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡­ Everyone fell silent. 3,001 people? What the hell? Did someone bring a 3,000-strong army here to clear the dungeon? The guild master felt his breathing stop. Why did they have to encounter such things!? However, they were unwilling to give up just like that. After all, they had planned for so long, but in the end, someone else beat them to it! He was indignant! The guild master asked. ¡°What level are they?¡± ¡°Other than the one with an unknown occupation, who is Level 30, the rest are all Level 29.¡± ¡°???¡± The guild master perked up. Level 30? Level 29? Did they strike the lottery today!? They did not need to deal with the super mutated bats and bat guards. He could fight the Bat Demon directly?! The guild master ignored the players that Hunter mentioned. They were all players below Level 30. Did they think that they could challenge the Bat Demon just because they had 3,000 people? Do they believe that the Bat Demon could kill a kid with one punch? The guild master believed that by the time they arrived, these low-level players would have already been wiped out by the Bat Demon team! When the time comes, they would take over¡­ When he thought about how he would be able to defeat Bat Demon, the guild leader felt excited. ¡°Charge! The Bat Demon is right in front!¡± ¡°Charge! Charge! Charge!¡± ¡°Charge!¡± The guild master led the elites of the guild and started running frantically, afraid that they wouldn¡¯t be able to catch up! The moment they rushed out of the tunnel and arrived at the battlefield, an unforgettable scene appeared before 26 people. For the rest of their long lives, every time they thought about this moment, they could feel the shock they were experiencing right now, the shock that assaulted their faces! A figure in golden armor with a golden shield on his back and a green spear in his hand sent the Bat Demon flying. Countless pitch-black figures around him continued to rush towards the Bat Demon. They were like black tidal waves, striking the Bat Demon. Especially the golden figure. As it brandished its spear, it seemed to bring along a chaotic aura that dealt shocking damage to the Bat Demon! The Bat Demon¡¯s HP dropped rapidly. Swoosh¡ª Swoosh¡ª Swoosh¡ª Along with his final destructive strike! The Bat Demon demon fell to the side of the terrifying figure unwillingly. As its facial features twisted continuously, it was as if a demonic god had descended! Chapter 24 ¡°Use Shield Attack to kill the BOSS Bat Demon!¡± ¡°Challenging a BOSS of a higher level, obtained additional EXP and the Blessing of the Realm of the Gods: Luck+2!¡± ¡°Level increase: Lv 30 ~ Lv 50¡± ¡°¡­¡± A series of notifications. After the battle at Bat Cave, Jack directly rose from Level 30 to Level 50! [Obtained 120 attribute points equally distributed, obtained 20 Skill Points.] Strength, Defense, and Agility +40 each. Jack was no longer surprised. He directly increased the Primordial Favor to Level 40. Primordial Favor Lv25 ~ Lv40 Primordial Favor Lv40: Increases Defense to 12,200 and grants [Shield Value] attribute to designated target for 30 seconds. No Cooldown. As the Primordial Favor was upgraded again, the huge increase in Defense points was not surprising. Jack had previously estimated that he would encounter a hurdle for every 10 levels. This time, after the Primordial broke through to Level 30, every point of Defense was increased by 400 points! This meant that [Shield Value] broke through 10,000! This also meant that as long as the single damage did not exceed 10,000, Jack could directly absorb it! This time, Jack could not help but be shocked by the power of the occupation [Primordial Shield Envoy]! He even wondered if there was a limit to his exclusive skills. Every skill had a limit. Before entering the game, Jack had learned about it at school. All this time, Jack didn¡¯t suspect why there was no upper limit for skills. It was mainly because of the System. But after this upgrade, Jack knew. This was the System¡¯s doing! The upper limit of Fireball was Level 5, but the Death Soldiers¡¯ skills broke through Level 5 and reached Level 29! It should be Level 49 now¡­ After knowing that it was due to the System, Jack didn¡¯t want to think too much about it. Jack wanted to add the remaining 5 Skill Points to Shield Exemption, but he was told that he had insufficient Skill Points! Insufficient Skill Points? Jack was very surprised. Five Skill Points could not raise the shield by one level? However, he was relieved when he thought that the Shield Exemption was likely to be the number of additional main weapons slots. After all, this skill was quite heaven-defying. Since there was no way to upgrade Shield Exemption, Jack added all his skill points to Primordial Thorn. Primordial Thorn Lv5 Primordial Thorn Lv5: Passive skill. When attacked by an enemy, it will deal 35% ([Shield Value]) critical damage. 35% (Shield Value) Critical Damage! Now [Shield Value] coupled with the Primordial Favor, 12,200+2,907 = 15,107! 35% [Shield Value] = 5,287! It was equivalent to 5,290 damage! Just by standing there and being attacked, Jack would inflict 5,290 points of critical damage on the attacker! He was a human-shaped armor attack reflector!? Attack Reflect reflected magic attacks, but Jack reflected critical damage attacks! One could imagine how terrifying the damage was at Level 50. Coupled with Shield Attack and Primordial Favor, even a level 70 or 80 Quasi-Guardian was not Jack¡¯s match! After killing the Bat Demon, a Golden Treasure Chest and three Silver Treasure Chests dropped. ¡°Successfully opened the Golden Treasure Chest!¡± ¡°Obtained Gold equipment [Bat Demon Cloak]!¡± Level: 45 Defense: 3,000 Movement Speed :+10 Skill: Demon Shadow: Releases two clones to confuse the enemy, causing 0.5 seconds of taunting effect. Clones have 20 HP, and take 300% damage. ¡°This piece of equipment is not bad. You can sell it in the Trading Mystic Realm.¡± The remaining three Silver Treasure Chests. Equipment: Rapid Leather Boots (Silver) Level: 45 Defense: 500 Movement Speed :+30 Skill: Swift Stealth: Enter Stealth mode, Movement Speed+20, Duration: 15 seconds, Cooldown: 45 seconds. ¡­ Equipment: Will of Steel (Silver Helmet) Level: 45 Defense: 5,000 Skill: Spirit of Steel: Reduces damage by 15% for 20 seconds. Cooldown: 40 seconds. ¡­ Item: Snitch (Silver) Description: A Thief Class Advancement tool. Can be used at Level 10. Class Advancement: Snitch. Of the three items, the Class Advancement item was worth the most. Jack even suspected that its value ring exceeded the Gold equipment, Bat Demon Cloak! After he put on the helmet, his Defense increased by 5,000 points! As expected of a Level 45 Silver equipment! The attribute bonus was much more than his Level 30 Gold equipment! Because of his full-body armor, he was not able to quickly wear the leather boots. Jack gave up immediately. It was not worth it for just 500 points. After Jack packed up the other items, he put away the Death Soldiers. Just as he was about to find a place to hide and wait for Volt Cave Demon to arrive, he found more than twenty pairs of eyes staring at him. ¡°These are Guild players.¡± The players in front of him were not highly leveled. They were all Level 45. They came to kill the Bat Demon, but they were killed by Jack. For such wild Bosses, whoever made the first move would be the boss. If they didn¡¯t make it in time, they would wait for the next spawn. After the initial shock and confusion, they soon recovered from it. There was a change in their attitude: Greed! The guild master started a private chat and his voice reached every member¡¯s ears. ¡°Those 3,000 players must have gone offline! He¡¯s alone now! He opened a Golden Treasure Chest! If we kill him, we will definitely be able to get the rewards!¡± ¡°Even if Level 30 players collectively come to kill Bat Demons, they will definitely use powerful tools to do so!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, he¡¯s alone! We still have the Weakening Potion, and he only has one-tenth of his damage output for five minutes! Even if he reaches Level 50, he¡¯s not our match!¡± The guild master analyzed fiercely. It stirred everyone¡¯s thoughts. They looked at Jack as if they were looking at a fat piece of meat. Evil was in the air. Jack had just killed the Bat Demon and became the new BOSS in the eyes of these players. Feeling the malicious intent in the other party¡¯s eyes, Jack frowned slightly. ¡°Let¡¯s do it!¡± In order not to give Jack a chance to escape, the guild master led the charge. He threw out a bottle of potion, and Jack instantly felt weak, as if he had exhausted all his energy. ¡°Interesting.¡± This was the first time Jack had been negatively buffed. Clang! With a crisp sound, the Hunter¡¯s attack landed on the golden armor. Jack looked at the notification. It only had 2,000 points of damage and was directly immunized. At the same time, Primordial Thorn was activated! ¡°You have been maliciously attacked by the player [Hunting Grin]. Counterattacks will not increase the kill value!¡± ¡°You have been maliciously attacked by the guild [Eransir], Counterattacks will not increase the kill value!¡± -7,080 [35% Shield Points]! -7,080 [35% Shield Points]! -7,080 [35% Shield Points]! ¡°You used Primordial Thorn to kill the player [Hunting Grin].¡± In the Divine Realm, the one being maliciously attacked had unlimited defensive authority! If he attacked players casually, the kill value would be too high, and the NPCs favorability in the Divine Realm would decrease greatly. There might even be situations where NPCs chase and kill players. Before the guild master could react, he turned into a beam of light and disappeared. ¡°He actually dared to attack our guild master!¡± ¡°Get close to him and kill him while he¡¯s down!¡± In an instant, all of them simultaneously launched multiple attacks at Jack. However, it was useless. Jack was immune to these attacks even without Primordial Favor. Then, Primordial Thorn was activated. -7,080 [35% Shield Points]! -7,080 [35% Shield Points]! -7,080 [35% Shield Points]! ¡­ ¡°You used the Primordial Thorn to kill the player [***].¡± ¡°You used the Primordial Thorn to kill the player [***].¡± ¡°You used the Primordial Thorn to kill the player [***].¡± ¡°¡­¡± Jack:¡­ Jack was speechless. What are they here for??? I haven¡¯t even made a move yet. Why have you all died? The enemy players who were still alive and kicking ten seconds ago died instantly. Jack silently put away the equipment on the ground. It was great! Tianke City revival point. A Warrior walked out with tears streaming down his face, cursing loudly. ¡°I got sold Fake potion!¡± ¡°Bullsh*t Weakness Potion. You should be Explosive Potion instead!¡± ¡°Tsk!¡± Chapter 25 Death in the Divine Realm came at a great price. Firstly, they would lose items. The lower the luck, the better the item dropped! The guild master¡¯s luck was very bad. He lost a Level 45 Silver weapon. Boys who loved to steal all had bad luck. Secondly, there was a three-hour period of weakness revival. One should know that people could only play in the Divine Realm for six hours a day. Three hours of weakness meant that half that time was wasted. Finally, dying would reduce attributes permanently! The guild master¡¯s death reduced his Strength by 15 points! He came from a poor family, and the situation became worse instantly. ¡°The seller of fake potion misled me!¡± As the guild master looked up at the sky and sighed, 25 people walked out of the resurrection point at the same time. ¡°Boss, we¡¯ve met a tough one this time¡­¡± ¡°My Silver Armor!¡± ¡°My Level 10 Gold Glove is gone!¡± ¡°¡­¡± After a series of howling, the guild master sighed helplessly. ¡°Brothers, be good in the future.¡± ¡°It¡¯s too damn difficult being a bad person!¡± Everyone: ¡°¡­¡± ¡­ ¡­ After settling a small dispute, Jack cleaned up the battlefield. ¡°19 Silver equipment, 2 Low-Level Gold equipment, and 2 Black Iron equipment?¡± Jack couldn¡¯t help but complain. ¡°So miserable!¡± Jack divided these things into two categories. One category was practical and suitable for low-level Warriors. Jack kept them for Mike. Apart from the Level 45 Silver equipment, the rest were sold! It was all free equipment anyway. Jack only hoped that the next person who attacked him would be richer! At least give me Platinum equipment! After putting away the equipment, Jack came to a place not far from Bat Demon¡¯s location before it died, and hid there waiting for the arrival of Volt Cave Demon. Volt Cave Demon was a wild monster on par with Bat Demon. However, because they were very cautious, they would usually appear quietly. Up until now, the people who had seen the Volt Cave Demon had encountered it by chance. However, they all had a very important point in common. They only encountered it after killing the Bat Demon. After waiting for half an hour, Jack was getting impatient. After all, he had a limited amount of time each day. Suddenly! There were sounds coming from the bat cave. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Jack had emptied the entire bat cave of all bat monsters, these tiny sounds would be unintelligible! Jack stared hard at the place where Bat Demon had died. A few slender and sharp tentacles extended from above the cave, stabbing towards the place where the Bat Demon had died. Puchi¡ª It was as if it had stabbed something. Jack squinted his eyes and looked carefully. Suddenly, an illusory Bat Demon appeared in the air. This was also the soul of a Bat Demon! Volt Cave Demon was a soul creature! It had always hid in the darkness. The Bat Demon struggled crazily. In the darkness, a few sharp tentacles reached out and pierced the Bat Demon¡¯s soul. There were a total of eight tentacles! Jack looked up. Volt Cave Demon (40) Health: 800,000 Attack: 8,000 Defense: 8,000 Skills: Gaze, Dark Nest, Soul Guidance Gaze: Gaze at the target and deal magic damage continuously. Dark Nest: Hide within the darkness, avoid being harmed by normal attacks. Soul Guidance: Collect the souls of the dead monsters and receive all the monsters¡¯ Health Points. Jack looked at the data panel in front of him and could not help but feel puzzled. An Attack and Defense as high as 8,000 points, as well as Soul Guidance, which could harvest souls and stack Health Points! Was this really a monster that a Level 50 player could defeat? 800,000 Health Points? This was even higher than the Earth Elemental King! Additionally, the skill Gaze, which dealt magic damage and HP reduction continuously. If it were any other high-class player, they would probably be stared at until they started to doubt their life. Killing one with one¡¯s glare, reality version? Jack smirked. Unfortunately, this is not a problem for me. Primordial Favor was immediately activated! Jack immediately rushed forward and used Shield Attack on it. -12,136! (60% [Shield Value]) With Jack¡¯s attack, the Volt Cave Demon abandoned Bat Demon¡¯s soul and began to attack Jack directly! Gaze! ¡°You¡¯ve been attacked by Volt Cave Demon¡¯s Gaze skill!¡± ¡°-8,000 Magic Damage (below [Shield Value: 20,227], immune to this attack)¡± ¡°-8,000 Magic Damage (below [Shield Value: 20,227], immune to this attack)¡± ¡°-8,000 Magic Damage (below [Shield Value: 20,227], immune to this attack)¡± ¡­ ¡°You¡¯ve been attacked, passive skill [Primordial Thorn] activated!¡± -7,080 [35% Shield Points]! -7,080 [35% Shield Points]! -7,080 [35% Shield Points]! ¡­ Whether it was the Primordial Thorn or Shield Attack, both were skills that could break through the defense restrictions. One was direct critical damage. One ignored all defenses. The damage was directly dealt to Volt Cave Demon¡¯s body. However,Volt Cave Demon¡¯s attack had no effect on Jack. The result was clear. Under Jack¡¯s continuous output and counter damage, the Volt Cave Demon was ultimately killed. A Platinum Treasure Chest dropped from where the demon was hiding! Jack was pleasantly surprised! It was hard to imagine that the Volt Cave Demon would drop a Platinum Treasure Chest! ¡°Used Shield Attack to kill the hidden BOSS, Volt Cave Demon!¡± This time, he did not level up. Although the Volt Cave Demon was a hidden BOSS, it was only a Level 40 BOSS. Jack was already Level 50, so he did not get as much EXP as compared to the Bat Demon. Jack was not greedy, he was already very satisfied with the Platinum Treasure Chest. ¡°Successfully opened Platinum Treasure Chest!¡± ¡°You obtained the Platinum skill [Repay Evil With Evil].¡± Repay Evil With Evil: Calculate all attack damage. After reaching a certain value, deal magic damage to all targets within 100 meters. Current (0 / 80,000) ¡°Wow!!!¡± Looking at this skill, Jack was extremely happy. This was a godly skill combined with his occupation! Furthermore, it was AOE damage with a wide range! This made up for Jack¡¯s shortcomings. This gave him another trump card! In the future, if anyone dared to frame him, he would kill them directly! Just thinking about that scene made him feel rather good! After returning to Tianke City, Jack immediately headed to the Krawboire Camp outside the city to submit his mission. ¡°Damn it, where do I find that craftsman!¡± The Craftsman occupation was a secondary occupation, but there were also people who had it as their main occupation. Typically, only the Dwarf Race could continue to fight as Craftsmen. Even if the Craftsmen were not powerful, it was also a second-tier occupation. In the Divine Realm, there were many different races and occupations. For Mages with basic jobs. A Magister, a mage¡¯s high-level advancement, was a third-tier occupation, a Third Grade Guardian. Jack recalled the relationship between level, occupation, and guardian. [Level 10-100: Mage, Warrior, Assassin, Quasi Guardian] [Level 100-200, Advanced Mage, Warrior, and Hidden Class Craftsmen, First Grade Guardian] [Level 200-300: Quasi Magister, Trainee Knight, Second Grade Guardian] [Level 300-400, Magister, Knight, Third Grade Guardian] [Level 400-500: Grand Magus, Grand Knight, Fourth Grade Guardian] [Level 500-600, Forbidden Magister, Earth Knight, Fifth Grade Guardian] [Level 600-700, Title Magister, Sky Knight, Sixth Grade Guardian] [Level 700-800: Saint Archmagi, Paladin, Seventh Grade Guardian] Jack had never read about anything above Level 800 in textbooks. The Heavenly Realm Federation had probably blocked all relevant information. Seventh Grade Guardians were the pillars of humanity. Above the Seventh Grade Guardians were Human top powerhouses! Top powerhouses¡¯ level, occupation, and Strength were mysterious existences! The principal of No.4 High School was a Level 400 Magister, a Third Grade Guardian! He was considered an expert in New North City! Before Jack could enter the camp, someone welcomed him. ¡°The adventurer who received the mission from Heiker?¡± Jack nodded. ¡°Please come in with me. Magister Jikhel has been waiting for you.¡± More than ten Knights, Magisters, and a Great Archmagi served as the masters of the Magus Palace in Tianke City. On the way, Jack pictured Magister Jikhel in his mind. He was the assistant hall master of the Magus Palace, a Level 399 Magister with the highest chance of breaking through to level 400! This was not the Magus Palance! It was the Krawboire Camp! Was Jikhel involved with the weapons merchant Heiker? Jack couldn¡¯t help but be curious. Didn¡¯t he say that he had to submit his mission to a Craftsman? What has it got to do with a Magister? What sort of miraculous and strange events were involved? Chapter 26 As Jack¡¯s thoughts ran wild, he arrived outside the place where Jikhel was. ¡°Please come in.¡± Many magic materials were placed in the spacious room, and there were bookcases on both sides. Jikhel had blond hair, a tall nose, and deep features. He could be considered a handsome man with a lion-like temperament. He was easily mistaken as a Knight, rather than a Mage. He was lying on an eSports chair, holding a¡­ comic book. This scene was too incongruous! The integration of the Divine Realm into Planet Aquamarine¡¯s reality brought about a two-way change. Jack remembered that there was a book that was very popular, called ¡°The Meaning of the Divine Realm¡±. Its opening line was regarded by countless people as a golden quote: ¡°Life goes two-ways, so does the world. The Divine Realm changes reality, and reality changes the Divine Realm!¡± The humans on Planet Aquamarine possessed the superpowers of the game, to resist attacks from the outer realm. The NPCs in the Divine Realm learned the technology of Planet Aquamarine. The comic Jikhel was holding was a by-product of human technology. ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± Jikher put down his comic book. Jack took a glance and realized that the comic was actually a popular Western fantasy comic. This¡­ Jack felt very strange. The style of drawing was extremely distorted! This was even more bizarre than an 80-year-old man dressed like a lolita and dancing on the streets while saying ¡°nikonikoni¡±! This style of drawing¡­ Hiss¡­ Damn it, there was actually an image in his mind! ¡°What a good book!¡± Jikhel closed the comic book and looked at Jack. ¡°You¡¯ve completed Heiker¡¯s mission. It¡¯s time to reward you.¡± He looked at Jack. ¡°Interesting little guy.¡± His next words made Jack¡¯s hair stand. His heart was in his throat! ¡°You are actually a Primordial Occupation?¡± How did Jikhel know?! ¡­ ¡°Relax, my talent is Eye of Insight. I can see everyone¡¯s level, occupation, and attributes.¡± It didn¡¯t feel good to be seen through. ¡°Eh, Grade B Talent: Growth?¡± ¡°How is that possible!? A Grade B talent can grow so quickly?¡± Jikhel looked puzzled. Since when could a Grade B talent grow so quickly? He looked at Jack again, his eyes twinkling, then relieved. ¡°So that¡¯s the case. Looks like you also have your own secrets¡­¡± Jack was relieved that Jikhel did not continue pursuing the matter. He thought that the other party could see through his System. The System was Jack¡¯s biggest secret. If the System was seen through by Jikhel, it would be terrifying! It should be known that Jikhel was in the world of the Divine Realm. If the other party could not see through the System¡¯s existence through his skills, it meant that this world was quite mysterious. Jack still did not want his System to be discovered. That would bring him a lot of trouble! Jikhel brought the conversation back on track. ¡°You must be very curious as to why Heiker¡¯s mission was brought to me when it was supposed to be submitted to a Craftsman.¡± ¡°Heikel belongs to a branch of my family. His mission was arranged by me! I am that Craftsman! ¡°Back then, I was still a Mage apprentice. When I was Level 10, I unexpectedly changed my occupation to a Primordial occupation¡­¡± Jack was very surprised! Jikhel was actually a Craftsman! At the same time, he also had a Primordial occupation? What was his Primordial occupation? Jack had searched online for information on the Primordial Shield Envoys. He did not find any information. On the other hand, he had found quite a lot of information about exclusive occupations. It was a branch of their occupation, or legacy, or something like that ¡­ The memory of Jikhel continued. ¡°The Primordial occupation is very powerful! Until now, other than you and me, only my teacher has it. Primordial occupation is more like the evolution of the basic occupation and not an advancement! All the skills that came with it were special! They added special attribute bonuses! Because Primordial occupations are unique, each attribute is different! For example, as a Primordial Mage, my special attribute is to reduce Cooldown period and increase the upper limit of MP. My teacher was a Primordial Priest. His special attribute was more straightforward; it increases the upper limit of resurrection! It is undeniable that the blessing of the Primordial occupation is immense. It¡¯s a huge step ahead of people of the same level! Almost every Primordial occupation¡¯s advancement is different. However, the only similarity is that they all require a large amount of resources. In order for me to advance better, Teacher can only seek out resources from the outer realms. However, this also caused Teacher to suffer a great calamity!¡± Jikhel¡¯s tone was heavy, and there was sadness on his face as he spoke about it. ¡°For the sake of my growth, my teacher went to the outer realm and accidentally entered the Evil God¡¯s territory. He was transformed into a Volt Cave Demon and became a Boss that hurt others. He was constantly killed and reborn, falling into a cycle of pain and despair. ¡°And there¡¯s only one way to free Teacher: To use a special skill to defeat Volt Cave Demon before Level 50, with a Primordial occupation¡­¡± After listening to Jikhel¡¯s story, Jack sighed. Actually, Jack had long discovered the problem with the Primordial occupation! Primordial occupations were indeed very powerful! EXP, weapons, armor, attributes, almost everything could affect his future growth. However, Jack activated the System. When necessary, there were 3,000 loyal Death Soldiers at his service! All these conditions were not a problem for Jack! In other words, the Primordial occupation was quite suitable for Jack. Jikhel quickly emerged from his grief and smiled. ¡°You used your Primordial occupation¡¯s exclusive skill to finish off the Volt Cave Demon, allowing Teacher¡¯s soul to rest in peace. In return, you can choose the following: ¡°As long as you become my disciple, the path of your Divine Realm occupation will be smooth sailing.¡± Jikhel stopped and smiled at Jack. Materials for three Class Advancements straight to a Second Grade Guardian! In the Federation, if one wanted to successfully make three Class Advancements, just the materials alone would cost one billion Federation currency! And the Class Advancements that Jikhel helped with were hidden occupations, which were more than ten times more powerful than ordinary occupations. Very few people could reject such a generous gift! Jikhel was offering him too much. Jack did not answer directly. In fact, he still liked being a Primordial Shield Envoy. Change to another hidden occupation? Why? Why? Wasn¡¯t being a Primordial Shield Envoy good enough? Was the damage immunity not good enough? Was Critical Damage not good enough? Was it not good to be able to ignore the Defense of his opponents? Jack didn¡¯t have to think about that at all. ¡°What about the other reward?¡± ¡°Become my Teacher¡¯s disciple, my junior. There won¡¯t be any materials for Class Advancement. After all, I¡¯m very poor. The only benefit is that I can help you refine special raw equipment. However, you have to help me when I need help. You should think about it¡­¡± ¡°I choose the second option!¡± Jack didn¡¯t need to think about it. Class Advancement materials? With the System¡¯s 3000 Death Soldiers and an almost invincible Primordial occupation, earning money was just a matter of time! The exclusive resources of the Primordial occupations were what Jack wanted the most! Jikhel smiled knowingly. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give you the mission reward now.¡± Jack heard a prompt in his ear: ¡°Hidden mission [Weapon Merchant¡¯s Wish], concluding¡­¡± ¡°Completion: Grade SSS!¡± ¡°Reward: Enshrined member of the Magus Palace in Tianke City, +100 Affinity with Heikel, +100 Affinity with Jikhel.¡± Everyone in Divine Realm was once again bombarded by the announcement! ¡°Player [Legion] completed the hidden mission [Weapon Merchant¡¯s Wish]. Reward: Primordial Protection!¡± ¡°The curse of the Boss, Volt Cave Demon, has been lifted, and the Bat Cave is completely closed. Tianke City¡¯s Affinity towards the Humans has increased by 30. Current attitude: Friendly!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The system announcements came like an adolescent boyfriend. One was afraid he wouldn¡¯t come, or that he would mess around! Everyone was looking forward to Legion¡¯s amazing achievements, but they were also afraid that Legion¡¯s achievements would be too overwhelming. When the announcements appeared, the players felt numb. ¡°That¡¯s it? I¡¯m so envious!¡± ¡°Tianke City¡¯s Affinity towards the Humans has increased by 30, Legion, good one!¡± ¡°After the Affinity increases, there will be a discount when buying things. The reward for completing missions will increase. This is awesome!¡± ¡°Teacher, I want to go to Tianke City to suck up to you. Boohoo!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The players in Tianke City were the most excited. They realized that the attitude of the NPCs in the city had changed. They were more friendly and amiable! The dishonest businessmen in the black market reduced their prices by 5%. All kinds of materials in the shops were sold at discounts and promotions. There were more missions in the union hall, and the ladies in the red tents by the roadside had lower asking prices, and their service attitude improved. After rounding off, one was almost able to spend time with the ladies for free! Everyone beamed with happiness. Even the attitude of Tianke City¡¯s City Defence Army had changed! They were chasing after the red-named player and said enthusiastically. ¡°Tianke City welcomes you. Don¡¯t attack others casually next time. My saber is very fast. It doesn¡¯t hurt at all¡­¡± It was really a different type of gentleness! A white light flashed and the red-named player was killed instantly. The entire Tianke City was changing! And these were all thanks to the Legion! Chapter 27 Tianke City was not weak and had abundant resources. The Heavenly Realm Federation had been operating here for more than 60 years, constantly trying to improve its Affinity towards the Humans in Tianke City. Even after a year of hard work, they were still unable to increase its Affinity to [Friendly]. But Legion did it! The door was kicked open by Legion! The minister in charge of Tianke City was extremely excited. Experts predicted that from today onwards, the efficiency of Tianke City producing human powerhouses would double! In the foreseeable future, Tianke City will flourish even more. Just like pushing dominoes, the human race¡¯s advantage gradually accumulated. In the tug of war with the demons from the outer realms, the scales of victory slowly tipped towards the humans. ¡°The cutoff score for this year¡¯s college entrance examination might be raised by a few grades.¡± ¡°Report this matter to the Federation and highlight the merits of Legion!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The entire Tianke City branch began to operate. These chain reactions were unexpected to Jack. He was currently busy with another matter: choosing equipment! ¡°Tianke City has collected 11,000 sets of occupation outfits. There are more than 400 sets that are for Shield Envoys.¡± As fellow apprentices, Jikhel recommended Jack. ¡°Since you want to continue the path of the Primordial occupation, the increase in attributes is especially important! Especially in the early stages, the enhancement brought by one¡¯s basic attributes was not huge. Hence, one had to rely on the attributes of the equipment. In particular, choosing the right equipment would allow one to gain a huge increase in combat power in a very short period of time. I¡¯m just not sure. Does your own special attribute need to be enhanced through these?¡± Huh? Jack was confused. Hadn¡¯t Jikhel seen through his occupation skills? Why didn¡¯t he know about [Shield Value]? At this point, Jikhel looked at Jack and saw his confusion. He smiled and said, ¡°The special attributes of the Primordial occupation are very high-leveled. Without the highest level detection methods, it is impossible to see through them.¡± Hearing Jikhel¡¯s explanation, Jack was enlightened. So the skills were hidden! Doesn¡¯t that mean, at least for now, Jack doesn¡¯t have to worry about his own information leaking. Jack was very happy when he thought of this. He could not help but be more determined that his choice was right. He looked at Jikhel and said, ¡°I need all kinds of attributes, any equipment that can boost attributes works!¡± ¡°Any attributes?¡± ¡°Yes! Anything as long as it¡¯s attribute points!¡± Jikhel was shocked to hear what Jack said. This was the first time he had heard of such a perverse special attribute requirement! There was actually no limit to the type of attribute. For example, his Primordial Mage required MP! His teacher, a Primordial Priest, needed HP. The higher the HP, the more the resurrection skills. It was the first time Jikhel had heard of someone who needed all the attributes, like Jack. He could imagine how terrifying Jack would be when he advanced. After a moment of shock, Jikhel looked at Jack and said, ¡°I do have similar equipment, but I need to prepare it. When I¡¯m done forging, you can come and get it.¡± Jack nodded, expressing understanding. ¡°Since there¡¯s nothing else here, I¡¯ll leave first.¡± ¡°Wait, let me give you this skill as your Senior.¡± Jikhel called Jack, who was about to leave, and handed him a skill book. Jack took it and checked its attributes. Six Senses (Platinum Skill) Six Senses: Mark the target, only the specified target will be hurt. Looking at the skill effect, Jack¡¯s eyes lit up. This!!! This was a godly skill! With this skill, he would be able to use his skill, Repay Evil With Evil, anywhere. Not just Repay Evil With Evil, any other damage skill would be affected. Wasn¡¯t this the so-called peace mode and battle mode? Jikhel smiled and said, ¡°The skills of Primordial occupations are mostly skills with high damage and strange abilities. With this skill, I believe it can help you avoid many problems. Coupled with your Repay Evil With Evil, I believe it will be very useful.¡± Jack was delighted. ¡°Thank you, Senior!¡± ¡°Well, if there¡¯s nothing else, you may leave.¡± Jikhel nodded to indicate that Jack could go. Their teacher was no longer here. Jikhel had accepted a disciple on behalf of his teacher. Naturally, Jikhel had the responsibility of assuming his teacher¡¯s duties. Half an hour later, Jack left the Krawboire camp. The gains from this trip were beyond his imagination. ¡°I shall go back to the Trading Space and sell the junk I don¡¯t want.¡± ¡°Path of Trial, here I come!¡± ¡­ ¡­ Jack came to the Trading Space. ¡°Little brother Legion, you¡¯re here again.¡± The Crown Crystal Man received Jack again in the amethyst hut. Compared to the initial crystal house, there were many more facilities in the house. It had changed from an unfinished room to a furnished room with a wine cabinet. ¡°Do you want some fruit beer?¡± The Crown Crystal Man handed him a glass of fruit beer. Jack didn¡¯t expect to be able to eat and drink in the Trading Mystic Realm. He picked up the beer and drank it in one gulp. A refreshing feeling spread through every cell in his body, as if he had taken a cold shower on a hot summer day. The Divine Realm 100% emulation was indeed worthy of its reputation! It was no wonder the red tent ladies¡¯ business was so good and did not receive any FFF warning. ¡°Intelligence +50¡± ¡°Intelligence +50¡± ¡°It can actually increase basic attributes!¡± Jack had an eye-opening experience. Such consumables were obviously expensive. ¡°Another one!¡± ¡°No problem.¡± The Crown Crystal Man refilled Jack¡¯s glass again and placed a can of fruit beer on the table. Such a small glass of the Federation¡¯s secret fruit beer could increase Intelligence by 100 points. In the outside world, it would probably cost several hundred thousand Federation currency! This was a product under the jurisdiction of the Federation, and it was illegal to trade in private. Every time it was publicly sold, it would be sold out right away, and it was especially popular with Mages and Priests. Jack did not care that it added Intelligence. He wanted all the attributes! After pouring the fruit beer, the Crown Crystal Man stood up and said seriously, ¡°Comrade Legion, before we talk about the deal, there¡¯s something that will take up one minute of your time.¡± He addressed Jack as ¡®comrade¡¯ instead of ¡®little brother¡¯. This was an extremely formal title. What were comrades? Like-minded people! We are not alone! This was a form of recognition and a form of responsibility! Jack looked serious. The Crown Crystal Man said seriously. ¡°Thank you for everything you¡¯ve done for Tianke City. On behalf of all the Guardians of the Heavenly Realm Federation who have fought hard in the outer realms, I hereby salute you!¡± The Crown Crystal Man slowly raised his right hand and bowed. Jack did not just sit there. He stood up and returned the greeting! The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They sat back down. The distance between them was reduced. Before this, Legion was just a talented seedling. As the spokesperson of the Heavenly Realm Federation, the Crown Crystal Man had the will and responsibility to guide and nurture Legion. Now, the Crown Crystal Man truly treated Legion as one of its own! A comrade who had fought alongside him! ¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me.¡± The Crown Crystal Man showed the Federation¡¯s sincerity. ¡°The Federation is willing to offer 30,000 contribution points as a reward for increasing the Human¡¯s Affinity with Tianke City. Previously, the Federation had publicly offered a reward of 500 contribution points for increasing one point of Affinity. You have increased 30 points in one go. Most importantly, you achieved a Friendly attitude. The Federation¡¯s reward has doubled. Consider it a reward for you.¡± Thirty thousand contribution points, worth three billion Federation currency! A house in New North City cost only two million Federation currency. Three billion was enough to buy 2 to 3 office buildings! Jack nodded slightly. The Federation was indeed fair and clear about rewards and punishments. ¡°At the same time, I will officially open up a lifetime S-rank Federation Authority for you. I will briefly explain the authority and benefits to you. You can access any documents below S-rank, apply to access SS-rank documents, receive a monthly allowance of 200 contribution points, and receive a compensation of 10,000 contribution points if you die in battle. Your children will be able to enter the Federation Guardian University¡­¡± Ordinary graduates of the Imperial Capital Guardian University would not be able to receive such treatment. Jack had yet to take the college entrance examination, but his starting point was already the end for many people. Every month, he would earn 200 contribution points. Even if Jack didn¡¯t do anything, he would earn 20 million monthly for life! Furthermore, it was different from ordinary Federation Guardians. Jack had a lot of freedom and had a lot of flexibility! ¡°Okay, now we can talk about your needs.¡± The Crown Crystal Man finished his explanation and returned the ball to Jack¡¯s court. ¡°I have some things that I want to sell.¡± Jack took out all his earlier gains. Level 45 Gold equipment Bat Demon Cloak, estimated 180 contribution points. 16 Silver equipment, valued at 260 contribution points, and the rest of the materials were worth 10 contribution points. A total of 450 contribution points. As for the Class Advancement item for Thieves, the Crown Crystal Man expressed that there was no fixed price for it. Sometimes, if they sold well, they could be sold for thousands of contribution points. If it was a poor transaction, he might not even be able to sell it for 100 contribution points. The Crown Crystal Man suggested for Jack to leave the Thief Class Advancement item with him to sell. If someone offered a high price, he would notify Legion before he finalized the sale. This would ensure Jack¡¯s best interests. Jack agreed. It was a sure-win deal. Although he had earned 30,000 contribution points earlier on, and Jack¡¯s acceptance level had greatly improved, this trip was worth 450 contribution points, 45 million Federation currency! For Jack, it was still rather exciting. He was now a big shot who earned tens of millions a day! ¡°The Federation trades your equipment at the highest price.¡± The Crown Crystal Man said, ¡°If you have anything you want to buy, the Federation will sell it to you on a 7% discount as an S-rank benefit!¡± Jack found a blind spot. ¡°If I sold my previous items for 450 contribution points, how many contribution points do I have to spend to buy them back? 200 or 300?¡± The Crystal Crown Man: ¡­ The Federation groomed you well, but you want to be a second-hand merchant? It was amusing to be a little mischievous sometimes. Jack, who now had more than 30,000 contribution points, could be considered a local tycoon. Even No.4 High School might not be as rich as him! Taking the item price list of the Crown Crystal Man, Jack began to read it seriously. It would be a waste not to use the money. The most suitable strategy for Jack was to quickly convert resources into combat power. Soon, Jack saw an equipment. ¡°A Legendary Shield (Upgradeable Weapon!) personally forged by the famous blacksmith master, Ayang¡± Quotation, not yet available. Jack happened to be short of a good big shield. He pointed at the big shield and asked. ¡°How much is this?¡± The Crown Crystal Man appeared to be in a dilemma. ¡°This¡­ I¡¯ll have to discuss this with Master Ayang. Wait a moment, I¡¯ll contact him!¡± ¡­ Chapter 28 With that said, the Crown Crystal Man left the crystal house. Before long, he returned to the house with a burly, long-haired man. The strange man was over two meters tall, and his long hair was about one and a half meters long! He had a long beard, and he looked like a hairy-faced Thunder God. He looked very strange. This appearance was clearly the embodiment of the Mystic Realm. For example, Jack¡¯s appearance was an Earth Elemental. However, the other party was a dwarf! Dwarf? ¡® Are you sure you¡¯re a dwarf?¡¯ A dwarf more than 2 meters tall? Are you sure you¡¯re not a dwarf from Marvel? Jack couldn¡¯t stop grumbling to himself. Obviously, Master Ayang¡¯s Master was related to the dwarves! The moment he entered the house, he said, ¡°You are Legion?¡± Jack nodded, acknowledging his identity. ¡°You want a Legendary shield? Easy!¡± The dwarf¡¯s eyes were bloodshot as he said emotionally, ¡°A head for a shield!¡± Jack: ??? Should I kill myself for a shield? What kind of weird request was this!!! ¡°Ahem.¡± The Crystal Crown Man could tell that the atmosphere wasn¡¯t right, so he quickly tried to mediate. ¡°Master Ayang means to exchange it with the enemy¡¯s head!¡± Jack breathed a sigh of relief. Just finish your sentence! ¡°Outer realm monsters, Boss, or¡­?¡± The dwarf sat down on a stone stool, his anger not diminished at all. ¡°Trade it with the heads of those stinky rats from the Dark Whisper Alliance!¡± ¡°If you kill 100 of them, I¡¯ll help you forge a low-level Legendary shield! If you kill 200 of them, Intermediate Legendary shield. If you destroy a branch, an Advanced Legendary shield!¡± The Crown Crystal Man added, ¡°Usually, there are nearly 500 people in the Dark Whisper Alliance branch.¡± Although Jack did not know what grudge Master Alliance had with the Dark Whisper Alliance, but! Jack had a problem with the Dark Whisper Alliance himself. The first day Jack logged into the game, Legion¡¯s name resounded throughout the Divine Realm server. A total of 26 geniuses had died in the cruel assassination of the Dark Whisper Alliance! Everyone knew that. They had an ulterior motive and were aiming their swords at Legion! Jack had always remembered these 26 lives. Now that he was Level 50, he had the ability to protect himself. Even if Ayang did not mention this, Jack would do it himself! Jack asked with a smile. ¡°Destroy a branch with 500 people for an Advanced Legendary shield. I¡¯m not a demon.¡± His next sentence made both the dwarf and the Crown Crystal Man gasp. ¡°What if I kill 1,000 of them?¡± The Crystal Crown Man: ¡­ Master Ayang was known for his bad temper. Compared to the ruthless Legion in front of him, Master Ayang was like an obedient child. ¡°Hahahahahaha!¡± ¡°I like your personality!¡± Ayang reached out and patted Jack¡¯s shoulder. ¡°If you can kill 1,000 dogs, scum, and sons of b**hes, these filthy souls who deserve to go to hell!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll forge you a top Legendary shield that can fuse with Mystic Realm!¡± ¡°Deal!¡± A top Legendary shield which could even fuse with a Mystic Realm. Jack didn¡¯t know how precious this thing was, but he could tell from the Crown Crystal Man¡¯s shocked expression. The value of this thing was beyond Jack¡¯s imagination! ¡°Kid, I like your personality. Don¡¯t you lack weapons? Using big shields as weapons, you should be a Shield Envoy.¡± Ayang took out a diamond shield from his backpack and threw it to Jack. ¡°I¡¯ll lend you for a period of time as a deposit!¡± Jack took the big shield and scanned it. Weapon: Throne of the Mountains (Diamond Grade Shield) Level: 50 Defense: 50,000 Skills: Mighty Fury, Absolute Defense, Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering, Combo Attack Mighty Fury: Increases skill release speed by 100% and takes 150% damage in the duration. Looking at the first skill, a huge question mark appeared above Jack¡¯s head. What kind of Shield Envoy would require increased casting speed? He was not a Mage. And he had to pay a price of 150% damage! He was not a mad Warrior. No! No! No! Mad Mage, a mad Mage? This equipment didn¡¯t look right. Jack continued looking. Absolute Defense: Increases Defense by one fold Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering: Guidance for three seconds, dealing 20,000 magic damage to all enemies on the ground within 300 meters, and 1 second stun. Cooldown 30 seconds. Combo Attack: Every time you release the same active skill four times, release the same skill once again (Releasing the skill again does not count as four times). Jack¡¯s eyes glowed as he looked. This equipment was practically made for the Primordial Shield Envoy! Other than Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering, he wanted all the other skills! Most of his core skills had no consumption or cooldown. If he released the Shield Attack, coupled with the Mighty Fury and Combo Attack, the scene would be too beautiful. The 50,000 Defense was really good! Add to that the additional Defense value of Absolute Defense. This was simply too good to be true. This shield might be a little too special for the Shield Envoys, but it was extremely apt for the Primordial Shield Envoy! The Crown Crystal Man said, ¡°Such a huge shield is worth 12,000 contribution points inside the Federation. 12,000 contribution points, 1.2 billion Federation currency! He was indeed worthy of being one of the top three Blacksmiths among humans. He was so generous. Jack couldn¡¯t help but want to ask why there was such a murmur inside the Dreamweaver¡¯s Veil he¡¯d forged. Fortunately, Jack held back. ¡°I¡¯ll give you another trinket.¡± The dwarf handed over something that looked very much like a radar detector. On the outside, it looked like a large pocket watch, very similar to the Dragon Ball Radar in Dragon Ball! Jack asked curiously, ¡°What is this?¡± The dwarf introduced. ¡°This is the latest mouse detector. It can detect the rats in the sewers and shows their capability. There are only 10 of them in the world, and they are not mass-produced. The products produced by Ayang are definitely top quality!¡± Rats? Oh, those guys from the Dark Whisper Alliance. For him? Jack nodded knowingly. ¡°I know what you mean. I will use this to search for them and complete our agreement as soon as possible! ¡± Dwarf, Crown Crystal Man: ¡­ ¡°Are you crazy?¡± ¡°I¡¯m giving you this so that you can constantly check if there are any killers around. If there are any, quickly run!¡± The Crown Crystal Man was in a particularly complicated mood. It was like a team battle where everyone was shouting, ¡°Hurry up and escape, retreat!¡± But what Legion heard was: Keep them behind, don¡¯t let them escape! Things were different when it came to Legion. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s none of my business. Legion, I¡¯ll wait for you to advance and give me a big surprise!¡± The dwarf walked out of the amethyst hut. Regarding the agreement of killing one thousand people, the dwarf did not take it to heart for the time being. Legion was only Level 50. What could he do? A genius with limitless potential was still a weakling when his potential fully unleashed! The Crown Crystal Man also warned Jack. ¡°For now, don¡¯t provoke the lunatics of the Dark Whisper Alliance.¡± ¡°First Grade Guardians (Level 100-200) generally have more than 500,000 HP. If you encounter them, you¡¯d better run!¡± The Crown Crystal Man thought he was giving Jack a warning. But Jack was delighted to hear this. 500,000 HP? Wouldn¡¯t it be gone after a few waves of Shield Attack? His mind came to life. This little thought would naturally not be discovered by the Crown Crystal Man. Looking at Legion¡¯s thoughtful look, He thought that his warning had been heard. ¡°Do you still want to ask about the Path of Trial Mystic Realm?¡± Jack had a trial token. And it was the Crown Crystal Man¡¯s friend who had traded it to Jack. ¡°This dungeon can only be entered at Level 50. It would take a full six hours to clear the dungeon, and it would be considered a failure if one went offline midway. At the same time, if a mission appeared, the requirement was to be completed within the duration of the mission. However, as long as one mission failed, it would also be determined as a failure. You definitely won¡¯t be able to go today. The relevant information is here.¡± Rank Power was an extremely powerful state. The Crown Crystal Man suggested. ¡°You won¡¯t be able to enter the Path of Trial if you exceed Level 50. I suggest you spend the remaining time training your life skills today.¡± Jack had more than three hours of game time left today, so he could make full use of it. ¡°Got it, thanks.¡± Jack put away the information and hurriedly left the Trading Mystic Realm. Holding the detector in his hand, he could not wait to see if he could find the assassins of the Dark Whisper Alliance! First Grade Guardians were no match for Jack! He watched as Legion left in a hurry. A ridiculous thought popped into the Crown Crystal Man¡¯s head. ¡°This brat, could it be that he really went to look for the Dark Whisper Alliance?¡± ¡°He¡¯s only Level 50, I don¡¯t think he will do that, right?!¡± ¡­ Chapter 29 Due to the level restrictions of the dungeon, Jack could not level up now. He must go to the Path of Trial. When others went to the Path of Trial, a SSS grade clearance would grant them the Rank Power. Jack went in order to upgrade the Rank Power. He looked forward to seeing how the Rank Power would evolve after clearing the dungeon with a SSS grade! Jack didn¡¯t follow the Crown Crystal Man¡¯s advice to polish his life skills. Skills had their specialties. Jack knew his strengths lay in fighting. It was best to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. Before logging out of the game, Jack checked his attributes panel: ID: Legion Level: Lv 50 Occupation: Primordial Shield Envoy HP: 33000 / 33000 MP: 15000 / 15000 Talent: Growth Attributes: Strength 305, Intelligence 205, Spirit 5, Defense 114,036, Agility 102, Luck 3 Shield Value: 114,653 Skills: Primordial Protection Lv5, Primordial Favor Lv40, Shield Exemption Lv1, Shield Attack LV5, Primordial Protection Lv1, Repay Evil With Evil Lv1 Status: Rank Power Mystic Realm: Earth Elemental Mystic Realm Skill Points: 0 It was hard to imagine that under the influence of the Diamond shield skill [Absolute Defense], his Defense value had doubled! With an additional 50,000 Defense Points and double the original Defense Points, it easily exceeded 100,000! Jack believed that if he used Primordial Favor, this value could exceed 120,000! What did 120,000 mean? As long as an enemy attacked Jack, the critical damage from the passive skill [Primordial Thorn] would reach 40,000. He was like a human-shaped hedgehog. His reflexes could make his enemies doubt their lives! At the same time, Shield Attack dealt almost 70,000 damage. Even the 500,000 HP Dark Whisper Alliance assassins could not block such a high amount of Defense ignoring Attack! He would be able to take care of them in a few attacks. Even without the [Shield Value] attribute ability, Jack would be able to fight even a Second Grade Guardian! Not only did it have high Defense and high Damage, but it also had AOE skills Repay Evil With Evil and Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering. He had made up for his shortcomings. ¡°Log out of the game!¡± Jack, who had nothing to do in the Divine Realm, returned to reality. ¡°I wonder how Mike is doing now.¡± Mike should be able to do his Class Advancement tonight. He himself was not far from his second Class Advancement. Jack removed his equipment from the game. He put on the Shadowweave Mask, which had an effect of avoiding detection. This way, no one would know Jack¡¯s identity. He put on his armor, mounted his shield, and looked at the bronze spear in his hand. ¡°At my current level, this spear is just a decoration. It seems it¡¯s time for me to change my main weapon.¡± Jack was armed and ready. He now had access to the Federation¡¯s S-rank Authority. Although he was not a Guardian, he could still use skills in the city. As a symbol of status, the Crown Crystal Man gave Jack a badge. There was a huge crystal body carved on the badge. Through the fluorescent light, one could see a letter: [S]. ¡°Try the effect of the detector.¡± Jack hit the only switch on the detector and the green screen lit up. ¡°Is this thing really copying Dragon Ball?¡± Jack grumbled to himself. A few seconds later, the detector beeped. Jack perked up. There really was one! The detector scanned a radius of five kilometers. There were assassins from the Dark Whisper Alliance within five kilometers? No! Jack looked in the direction of the detector. The enemy was not far from him. In the district! 1, 2, 3¡­ 7 people. The detector showed the Strength of the seven people: Level 145 Warrior, Level 156 Thief, Level 172 Mage¡­ The weakest of the seven was Level 145, and the strongest was a level 180 Unholy Priest! These degenerates who sought refuge in the outer realms All have been baptized by the blood of the Demon God from the outer realm, and paid the price of humanity! They were traitors, assisting the outer realm demons to destroy and assassinate human geniuses in an attempt to break through the human defenses and let the outer realm demons take over Planet Aquamarine. It wouldn¡¯t be enough even if these scums die ten thousand times! ¡°Seven people, none above Level 200¡­¡± Jack hesitated. According to the Crown Crystal Man, their HP was above 500,000. Jack¡¯s Shield Attack and the Primordial Thorn¡¯s damage output were not weak. But considering the number of enemies. 7v1. A huge gap in their levels, equipment, whether the enemies had a backup plan¡­ After considering all the factors, Jack decided to report it to the police! When faced with powerful criminals, the best solution was to call for backup. Although he had 3,000 loyal Death Soldiers, facing these high-level assassins, Jack felt that it was better to let them farm EXP for him. Who knew if the Death Soldiers could revive after dying in real life? If they couldn¡¯t be revived, he would suffer a great loss. Jack came to the public phone booth by the road. The Shadowweave Mask had a voice changer. After making the call, Jack said quickly, ¡°New North City, Tianbeishui Estate, Block 7, Room 119. There are seven members of the Dark Whisper Alliance. Their strengths are: Level 180 Unholy Priest¡­¡± Jack repeated the information, then he hung up. Next, Jack only needed to pay close attention to the enemy¡¯s movements and wait for the arrival of the city defense department¡¯s elite soldiers. Looking at the detector in his hand, Jack suddenly wanted a good detection skill. It would be too rough if he could only monitor using a detector. ¡°It seems that apart from weapons, I also need a scouting skill. It¡¯s best to prepare before heading to the Path of Trial.¡± Jack murmured. ¡­ Block 7, Room 119. Inside the house, the seven of them were acting out of character. They were neither sleeping nor playing games. They were plotting something. The leader was a bald man with tattoos all over his body. He was also the strongest Unholy Priest among the seven. After some time, after undergoing the next baptism using the blood of the Demon God, he had a chance to break through to Level 200 and become a Second Grade Guardian! Halfway through plotting, the bald Priest raised his head and looked around, touching his bald head. ¡°Strange, I feel like I¡¯m being stared at by something!¡± He quickly dispelled his doubts. Everyone was very careful. The anti-detection device did not give any warning. He was probably thinking too much. ¡°Did you remember what I said just now?¡± ¡°The target of these two people¡¯s assassination is Grade S Fan Jia¡¯er, Grade B Jack¡­¡± ¡°Boss, I can understand if you want to assassinate a Grade S, but a Grade B talent?¡± ¡°What can a Grade B do? He can¡¯t even become a Guardian!¡± ¡°Is the order wrong?¡± The bald Priest snorted. ¡°Silence!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate Jack. He defeated Fan Jia¡¯er in combat. Fan Jia¡¯er even used a skill, but was still defeated by Jack!¡± ¡°Hiss¡­¡± The other six people gasped. A burst of laughter erupted. ¡°This Grade S Fan Jia¡¯er is too trashy.¡± ¡°The shame of Grade S, hahaha!¡± ¡°Boss, spare this Grade S class. Letting her fight in the outer realm space is the biggest help to us, hahaha!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve received professional training, no matter how¡­ hahaha!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Everyone laughed at Fan Jia¡¯er. Even the bald Priest himself found Fan Jia¡¯er ridiculous. ¡°If I had a Grade S talent, why would I seek refuge in the outer realm to level up? Damn it! Trash that can¡¯t even defeat a Grade B should just die! ¡± ¡°¡­¡± Jack didn¡¯t even know that as a Grade B Talent, he was already on Dark Whisper Alliance¡¯s must-kill list. At this moment, Jack was hiding in a secret and convenient position, recalling something. Chapter 30 The Dark Whisper Alliance was the sworn enemy of the Heavenly Realm Federation. They were the traitors of humanity, minions of Evil God and Demonic God from the outer realm. As long as there was a genius in the human race, they would be assassinated. The reason for the Dark Whisper Alliance¡¯s actions was simple: After killing a human genius, the Demon God would bestow Demon Blood. By bathing in the Demon Blood, one would be able to break through the limits of one¡¯s strength and reach a higher level of enlightenment. However, this kind of breakthrough had great drawbacks. After using it once, one would never be able to do without the Demon Blood. Once they stopped bathing in the Demon Blood, their strength would rapidly regress and their bodily functions would deteriorate! Thus, the scum of the Dark Whisper Alliance were tied to the Demon God and were willing to be his pawns. The bald Priest was still making plans. Outside Tianbeishui Estate. More than ten cars that came from different directions stopped silently. A group of people alighted from the car. They were not in contact with each other and walked into the estate casually. One of them was even a familiar face to Jack¡ªMike¡¯s dad, Owen. These people were all elites of the city defense department. None of them were below Level 200. After the report, the city defense department immediately mobilized people to control Tianbeishui Estate! ¡°Owen, you¡¯re wounded. Provide support in the periphery later. You¡¯ll be in charge of checking on the enemy¡¯s movements.¡± The person in charge of commanding the city defense department was the New North City¡¯s city defense department commander, Johnny, a Second Grade Guardian and a Level 299 warrior. ¡°Understood, Captain.¡± Half of the elites of the city defense department were here. They had to annihilate the enemy and not cause any losses to the residents of the district at the same time! They had verified that there were indeed seven assassins in the neighborhood. Their capability was exactly the same as the report phone! Under Johnny¡¯s command, the city defense department laid out an inescapable net. ¡°Sniper Hunter No.1 in position!¡± ¡°Sniper Mage No. 2 in position!¡± ¡°No. 3 Priest¡¯s barrier is ready. It can be released at any time!¡± ¡°No. 4¡­¡± Listening to the report in the headset, Johnny stood outside Room 119 with a giant shield in his hand. ¡°Attack!¡± Bang! Johnny took the lead and broke through the security door. As he broke into the enemy¡¯s base, he created an output environment for his teammates. Whoosh¡ª Three light arrows shot out and accurately hit the area between their eyebrows! The three of them fell to the ground, their bodies convulsing, unable to fight anymore! Boom¡ª A bolt of black lightning shattered the window glass and wrapped around the bald Priest, crackling. The lightning turned into chains, binding the bald Priest. As the bald Priest endured the massive amount of damage, his body sank and his movement speed was like a tortoise! The city defense department¡¯s first move was incomparably fatal. In just a few seconds, half of the seven people had lost their ability to fight. Victory was within reach! ¡°Damn it, let¡¯s go all out!¡± The bald Priest roared. ¡°If we don¡¯t give our all, we can only die if we are caught!¡± He held a pitch-black short staff in his hand, and his entire body emitted evil black flames. A crack appeared between his brows. ¡°My Lord! I offer my life in exchange for greater strength!¡± The lightning chains on the bald Priest¡¯s body shattered, and his attributes increased by more than three times! The current him would not lose to a Second Grade Guardian in a one-on-one fight! The price he had to pay was huge. In just a few seconds, he seemed to have aged a few years. There were even a few wisps of white on his eyebrows. Even he would not be able to last long in this state. The bald Priest casted a spell: ¡°Shadow Pollution!¡± ¡°Visual Deprivation!¡± ¡°Abominable Explosion!¡± Everyone in the city defense department blacked out for a moment. The Priests behind him were instantly purified. Unfortunately, there was still a one second time difference. The bald mage tore a teleportation scroll and wanted to escape. ¡°Teleportation Suppression!¡± The city defense department was prepared. The bald Priest, who was supposed to be 10 kilometers away, was teleported 100 meters away. The teleportation distance was suppressed to 1%! ¡°Dammit! How did these fellows know we were here!?¡± The bald Priest fled in panic. He knew that the outcome of being captured by the city defense army was worse than death! ¡®I can¡¯t be caught. I have to think of a way to escape!¡¯ Even if he could not escape, he had to drag someone down down with him! He did not notice that, as soon as he appeared, a strong and terrifying figure followed him from afar like a ghost. ¡°Hurry up! There¡¯s a teleportation array for escaping in the district. As long as I escape, I might be able to survive!¡± The bald Priest forced himself to run, not daring to stop for even a moment. After offering his life, he was faster than anyone else. He was about to escape. ¡°Trying to run?!¡± There was a roar. Under the moonlight, a skinny one-eyed man stood in front of him. Jack was shocked! ¡°Uncle Owen?!¡± Owen happened to be in charge of support in this direction, blocking the bald Priest¡¯s way. The bald Priest was like a trapped beast in a desperate situation. If he did not kill his opponent, he would not be able to escape. If he was delayed for a few seconds, he might be caught by the pursuers! He used his strongest skill, and a soul stealing black light shot out from the crack between his eyebrows. ¡°Death Ray!¡± ¡°Die!¡± After offering his life, a Level 180 Dark Priest¡¯s strength increased to that of a Second Grade Guardian. Owen had once been a Level 195 Warrior. Even at his peak, he would not be able to resist the Death Ray in front of him. Having been in combat for many years, he was no fool. He stopped in his tracks and tried to dodge the Death Ray. Eventually, Owen¡¯s left hand was hit. Sizzle¡ª The skin that came into contact with the Death Ray rapidly decayed. He immediately cut off his left arm with his blade! If he delayed any longer, the curse would spread to his heart and even gods would not be able to save him! Blood spurted. Owen swayed, no longer able to pursue. He paid the price of an arm but was unable to stop the other party for a second. In the face of such a huge difference in strength, the weak were helpless! ¡°Uncle Owen!!!¡± ¡­ Chapter 31 Owen had done his best. Fortunately, since the appearance of Divine Realm, injuries like missing arms and legs were not serious at all. Even a Level 100 Priest could easily heal it. ¡°Uncle Owen!!!¡± Jack, who had been secretly following behind, was full of anger! What happened just now was too sudden. Jack had no chance to save Uncle Owen. Looking at Owen in front of him, the situation had stabilized. At the moment, the bald priest was only concerned with escaping and didn¡¯t kill him. Jack¡¯s eyes were bloodshot and filled with fury as he activated Primordial Favor. He charged forward like an arrow shot by a hunter, reaching the bald Priest in an instant and grabbing his arms. ¡°Bastard! F*ck you, let go!!!¡± ¡°Hiss¡­¡± The bald Priest looked up at the terrifying figure in front of him, stunned. What kind of monster was this?! The golden armor on his body was dyed a chaotic color by the mysterious power attached to it. Under the moonlight, his tall figure was like a death god in the night! His eyes were filled with brutality, and his gaze was so cold and vicious that it pierced through one¡¯s heart! ¡°Ah!!!¡± The bald Priest broke down. Spell skills were constantly released, and Death Ray on his forehead was shooting wildly. Jack ignored the other party¡¯s actions. Under the immunity of the [Shield Value], everything was futile! He just stared at the bald Priest who was frantically struggling. He took a deep breath and continuously released Shield Attack! The invisible chaotic power was like a heavy machine gun firing at the bald Priest from all directions. The bald Priest¡¯s tall body was buried by the storm. It was so fast that it only took a few seconds. Before the bald Priest could even let out a wail, his entire body was vaporized into the air. It was as if there was no one here. A gust of evening breeze passed and Jack disappeared. ¡­ There was a commotion in the district. ¡°Captain! We¡¯ve found Owen. Medical team, come and treat him!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let the leader escape!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no record of the Teleportation Formation being activated. Lock down the entire area and search!¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡­ When Jack got home, he took off his mask and lay back on the sofa. Sweat drenched his back as he breathed in the fresh air, his heartbeat slowing down. He killed someone. He had just killed someone. No matter who killed someone for the first time, they would feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, the bald Priest¡¯s final appearance had been reduced to ashes. He had sacrificed large amounts of his life to outer realm monsters in exchange for strength. At the same time, his body began to mutate. The tide of anger subsided and Jack calmed down. He was already mentally prepared. The path he chose was definitely not smooth! Since the other party wanted to assassinate him, it was natural for Jack to strike first! He still did not know if Uncle Owen was safe. Jack did not regret killing the bald Priest at all. The other party died too easily. He had let him off too easily! After downing a large glass of cold water, Jack completely recovered and began to review this trip. From the moment he discovered the enemy, reported them and called for backup, and observed their movements closely to help the city defense department. The only thing that displeased Jack was that he had acted too late. Next time, he would make a decision and attack when he had to! ¡°I¡¯m still too immature!¡± ¡°My current combat power is sufficient, but other aspects are still lacking. Detection methods and displacement methods are also a big problem. If I am fast enough, I will be able to finish off the opponent before they attack!¡± Jack kept reflecting. He opened the System prompt. He remembered that when he killed the bald Priest, the system had given him a notification. ¡°System prompt: You have killed a Level 180 Unholy Priest and obtained 100,000 Death Soldiers Points.¡± ¡°System prompt: Death Soldiers Shop has opened.¡± Death Soldiers Points? Death Soldiers Shop? Jack had a curious look on his face. He remembered learning about the Death Soldiers Points and the Death Soldiers Shop from the system. But no matter how he asked the System, there was no reply, so Jack could only choose to give up. He did not expect the Death Soldiers Points could only be obtained by killing existences in reality. If Jack hadn¡¯t carried out today¡¯s operation, he would not have found out how to Death Soldiers Shop. Jack opened the shop. A huge catalog suddenly appeared before him. As Jack clicked, the scene before him changed. Three skills appeared in front of him, leaving Jack speechless. Skill Name: Power of United Introduction: All Death Soldiers stored in the System will be enhanced by the host¡¯s five-dimensional comprehensive attribute values and receive a skill from the Death Soldiers for one hour. Cooldown: One month. Requirement: 100 million Death Soldiers Points Gathering Method Skill Name: Gathering Method Introduction: Store all Death Soldiers. Each Death Soldier will give the host an attack special effect (limited to attack and skills). Cooldown: 12 hours. Requirement: 10,000,000 Death Soldiers Points War Command Skill Name: War Command Introduction: Once the declaration of war is issued, all the Death Soldiers will become ¡°unstoppable¡± and receive a total value bonus of *1000 to the host¡¯s level until the enemy disappears completely. Cooldown: 120 days. Requirement: 1 billion Death Soldiers Points. ¡­ ¡­ Looking at the skills in front of him, Jack craved for more. It was not that Jack was a disappointment, but the skills in front of him looked too good! Any one of these skills could allow Jack to soar to the skies! Seeing that he only had 100,000 Death Soldiers Points, he quickly suppressed his impatience and closed the Death Soldiers Shop. Oh my god! Can it not be so exciting! If he could do it. Jack really wanted to drag the System out and beat it up. ¡®You put such a powerful thing in front of me, but I can¡¯t have it. Isn¡¯t that torture?¡¯ ¡°System, are there only three items in the Death Soldiers Shop?¡± [Notification: The Death Soldiers Shop will be refreshed randomly. The items that appear will last for a week. They will be refreshed after the time is up.] ¡°Alright, in other words, I only have seven days to choose? After seven days, I won¡¯t have the choices I have now?¡± [Notification: Negative. There will be a chance for the skill to appear again.] ¡°Oh, then what¡¯s the probability?¡± [Notification: Unable to inform] ¡°I knew it!¡± Jack shattered in anger. Only seven days¡­ Jack wanted all three skills. But it was not that easy. Jack knew the way to obtain the Death Soldiers Points. As long as he killed the assassins of the Dark Whisper Alliance, he would be able to obtain them. A Level 180 Unholy Priest provided 100,000 Death Soldiers Points. Currently, the most likely skill to obtain was undoubtedly the ¡°Gathering Method¡± which required 10 million Death Soldiers Points. In other words, he still needed to kill at least 100 assassins of the Dark Whisper Alliance. He had the detector to detect the Dark Whisper Alliance, so it was relatively easy for him to find the other party. It didn¡¯t look like much. At the thought of the Dark Whisper Alliance, Jack looked at a fist-sized rock in front of him. It was dropped after killing the bald Priest. The bald Priest¡¯s weapons and equipment were sent back to the Divine Realm before he died. He refused to let Jack take advantage of him even if he died. On the other hand, it seemed he was not able to send this stone back to the Divine Realm, and it was not damaged by the Shield Attack. When there was something he did not recognize, Jack had his ways. He had a tool like ¡®Baidu Encyclopedia¡¯. ¡­ ¡­ Chapter 32 In the Trading Mystic Realm, the Crown Crystal Man picked up the stone. He sounded doubtful. ¡°This is a seed to be sacrificed to a Demon God. If fresh blood is poured on it, it can be sacrificed to a Demon God. Only the team leader of the Dark Whisper Alliance would use such a thing. Where did you get it from?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a secret.¡± Jack didn¡¯t say anything. The Crown Crystal Man eyed him a few times. Could Legion have killed him? As soon as he thought of this, even the Crown Crystal Man himself felt that it was absurd. A leader with a seed was usually close to a Second Grade Guardian. When faced with a life-threatening crisis, they could sacrifice their life force to the seed and gain ten times the explosive power! These fellows were even harder to deal with than ordinary Third Grade Guardians! Legion was only a Level 50 Shield Envoy. How could he defeat the latter? ¡°In principle, the Federation will recycle and destroy this seed.¡± ¡°No problem.¡± Jack readily agreed. ¡°As compensation, I will give you a C-rank contribution. It will be based on killing a Third Grade Guardian.¡± ¡°A total of 1,000 contribution points. After the approval process is over, you will be paid.¡± Jack had more than 30,000 contribution points in his hands. These 1,000 contribution points didn¡¯t make much of a difference. Speaking of contribution points, Jack thought of the seriously injured Uncle Owen and asked, ¡°What kind of compensation will the city defense department receive if they get injured during the mission?¡± The Crown Crystal Man froze. It hit the blind spot of his knowledge. The city defense department only had Level 100 to 300 members with combat strength below Third Grade. The Crown Crystal Man did not know their standard of compensation for casualties! ¡°Wait a moment, let me check¡­¡± ¡­ ¡°The casualties of the city defense army are compensated, and resources are spent to save the lives of the injured. They would be rewarded based on their performance. The deceased will be given 36 months of salary, and their children will be raised to adulthood. They would be given bonus points for the college entrance examination. ¡± The Crown Crystal Man read out the relevant rules. Jack lapsed into silence. When he left, Uncle Owen had been treated and his life was not in danger. ¡°Is the treatment a little bad?¡± Jack muttered casually. Uncle Owen had an old injury to begin with, and now that it has worsened, it might not be easy for him in the future. Besides, Jack indirectly caused Uncle Owen¡¯s injury. He naturally wanted to do something. The Crown Crystal Man heard Jack talking to himself and remembered his words. Jack could not help Uncle Owen heal through the Crown Crystal Man. If he did that, it would be easy to find Jack! He still needed to advance! It was obviously not a wise choice to expose himself. ¡°I only have Grade B talent. I only revealed a little bit of my abilities and I was hunted down by First Grade Guardians.¡± ¡°If I reveal myself now, I¡¯m afraid even the Seventh Grade Guardians will be mobilized!¡± Seventh Grade Guardian, a terrifying Level 800 existence. They possessed formidable combat strength enough to destroy a city by themselves! If Jack encountered one of them now, he would definitely die! ¡°I still have 30,000 contribution points. It won¡¯t be a problem to heal Uncle Owen!¡± When Jack had made up his mind, he excused himself and logged out from the Divine Realm again. After he left, the Crown Crystal Man walked deeper into the Trading Mystic Realm. There was a magnificent palace with three gigantic thrones at the end of the palace! The thrones of three top powerhouses! For the past hundred years, the top powerhouses had always protected Planet Aquamarine from the outer realm. The Crown Crystal Man walked respectfully to a throne and repeated what he had said to Legion. On the throne, a shadow loomed. The Crown Crystal Man finished his report. A dignified voice echoed in the palace. ¡°That¡¯s good news.¡± ¡°The more Legion cares about Planet Aquamarine, the more important he is to us.¡± ¡°The weather is getting hot. Let¡¯s give the city defense army a little more allowance.¡± ¡°As you wish.¡± The Crown Crystal Man retreated. The ¡®a little more¡¯ mentioned by the top powerhouses meant giving the entire city defense army an additional hundred million! Jack¡¯s unintentional words were like a butterfly effect. A tornado was created on the other side of the ocean! The chain reaction of this storm was beyond everyone¡¯s imagination! ¡­ ¡­ After logging out of the game, Jack did not go out. At this moment, the residential area was packed to the brim with the city defense army. If he went out in the middle of the night, he would easily be regarded as a criminal. The city defense army was searching every house. The bald Priest seemed to have vanished into thin air. Jack pretended as if nothing had happened and waited until six o¡¯ clock to get up, wash up, and head out. ¡°Jack!¡± He met Mike on the way. He was yawning, not in good spirits. ¡°I think something happened in the neighborhood last night. Did you hear about it?¡± ¡°Heard what?¡± ¡°It seems like someone reported the Dark Whisper Alliance anonymously. The commander was alerted and all the elites were deployed!¡± Mike said it like it was his own experience. ¡°When we were eating this morning, my mom¡¯s eyes were all red. It scared me so much I thought¡­¡± Mike didn¡¯t finish his sentence. Owen had stabilized after the initial treatment. His broken arm was back to normal. It was just his injuries from the curse before had worsened, and would require an astronomical medical fee to temporarily suppress his injuries. Mike said unhappily. ¡°Say, he¡¯s already so old, yet he¡¯s still working so hard!¡± After complaining for a while, Mike was obviously not in the mood to say anything more. Jack understood how his best friend felt. Anyone else would behave the same way. The youth¡¯s thoughts were like the summer sky. In the blink of an eye, the gloomy clouds would be swept away. When they arrived at school, Mike calmed down and shared his experiences with Jack. ¡°I broke into a pyramid last night. Jack, I¡¯m going to be rich! ¡°I have already gone through the Class Advancement and changed my occupation to a hidden occupation, Desert Warrior. There are many monsters and missions in the pyramid. When I come out, I will help you level up!¡± Pyramids? Desert Warrior? At this moment, Jack remembered Mike¡¯s game ID: DogeBrothers. Uh, well¡­ Would he really become the poor doge that needs to be spared? As long as he is safe. Following the announcement, the two of them entered the classroom. ¡°Next, we¡¯ll be reporting the morning news of the school.¡± ¡°Last night, we received an anonymous report from an enthusiastic citizen that the city defense department had cracked a conspiracy in a certain district¡­¡± ¡°This morning, the Ministry of Finance revised the summer budget and proposed a plan to increase the budget based on the city defense department. It is estimated that from this month onwards, the city defense department¡¯s budget will increase by 360%¡­¡± ¡°The Ministry of Education is holding a press conference, claiming that it is necessary to build the city defense department¡¯s exclusive Guardian University. The fastest way to start the recruitment for the college entrance examination is¡­¡± ¡°At the same time, the Federation Medical Center has issued a plan to reduce the cost of medical care for the city defense department and provide higher-level services to the injured¡­¡± ¡°¡­ with that, this is all we have for this morning¡¯s news. We¡¯ll see you tomorrow.¡± After hearing the morning news, the classroom fell into a momentary silence. The students started discussing fervently. ¡°Heavens, is the city defense department so popular?!¡± ¡°Exclusive Guardian University of the city defense department? Will the entry score be a bit lower? After all, one wouldn¡¯t need to go to the outer realm, and would just go directly to the city defense department to work?¡± ¡°Mike, your father seems to be from the city defense department. Tell us if you have any news!¡± ¡°¡­¡± People¡¯s joy and sorrows did not come together. Mike only felt they were noisy. He sat in his seat, smiling foolishly. He didn¡¯t even notice the tears rolling into his mouth as he muttered, ¡°Jack, there is hope for my dad¡¯s injury!¡± Chapter 33 ¡°That¡¯s a good thing. Wipe your snot. It¡¯s going to be all over the book.¡± Mike sniffled. The mucus that was about to fall had all been sucked back in. What was even more ridiculous was that he even burped! Burp¡ª Jack: Are you full? Mike: ¡­ Mike answered back, ¡°Do you want some?¡± ¡°No thanks, keep it for yourself!¡± Linda, who was sitting in the front row, couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She turned around and rolled her eyes at them. ¡°Aren¡¯t you all disgusting!?¡± ¡°Jack started it!¡± ¡°Mike promised not to use biochemical weapons first in combat!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Exhaling, Mike was visibly more relaxed. ¡°Jack, what do you think about me getting into the city defense department¡¯s Exclusive Guard University? I might even get bonus points!¡± ¡°You can consider.¡± Ding! The bell rang. The day¡¯s lessons were exceptionally boring. Jack could no longer learn anything from cultural classes or combat classes. After school, Mike asked Jack to go to the hospital with him. ¡°Jack, my mom sent me a WeChat message saying that my dad¡¯s injury has stabilized and the surgery has been arranged. Three days later, a grandmaster healer will pass by New North City and help my dad treat his old illness! ¡± On the way there, Mike was exceptionally excited. Jack was much calmer. He¡¯d observed Uncle Owen¡¯s injuries last night. They¡¯d been relatively stable after he¡¯d been treated. His life was not in danger. After staying in the hospital for half an hour, he managed to see Owen. But a few minutes later, he came out again. ¡°The patient needs to recuperate. The city defense department is treating him very well, so don¡¯t worry!¡± The nurse promised again and again before Mike was willing to go home. Before Mike went home, he sent Jack the Pyramid coordinates specifically. ¡°Jack, this place is incredible. You¡¯d better come here when you¡¯re free!¡± Mike acted mysterious as if he had discovered some treasure. Jack noted the coordinates. When he had the time in the future, he would visit Mike and see how he went from a Desert Warrior to a ¡°Doge¡±. ¡­ Entering the Divine Realm. In the Trading Mystic Realm, the top tool man Crown Crystal Man was still there. ¡°I¡¯ll be heading to the Path of Trial after 12 o¡¯clock. Are there any recommendations for Level 50 equipment?¡± Jack had more than 30,000 contribution points, and at least half of his equipment was low-level. If the Crystal Man knew this information, he would probably vomit blood and die! ¡°Most Level 50 equipment is overused. Gold equipment should be good enough. They are all here.¡± Jack took the list. They were all common equipment. For ordinary students, it was not easy to reach Level 80 before the college entrance examination. Level 50 Gold equipment could be used for a long time. But Jack was different. His leveling efficiency was extremely terrifying. Three days, 18 hours, Level 50. If not for the Path of Trial, Jack¡¯s level would be even higher! Soon, Jack picked out a few pieces of equipment. Equipment: Gold full-body armor Level: 50 Defense: 20,000 Attribute: HP +2,000 Skill: Firm: Defense +5,000 Value: 300 contribution points ¡­ Equipment: Gold Helmet Level: 50 Defense: 10,000 Attribute: Spirit +50 Skill: Barrier of Shield: Damage offset by 5,000 points Value: 300 contribution points ¡­ Equipment: Steel Giant Shield (Gold) Level: 50 Defense: 30,000 Attributes: HP+ 3,000 Skill: Steady: Defense+ 5,000 Value: 400 contribution points ¡°These three will do.¡± The Crown Crystal Man looked at what Jack had chosen and could not help but wonder. ¡°Didn¡¯t you already obtain a Diamond grade shield from Master Ayang?¡± Jack looked at the Crown Crystal Man in front of him and said, ¡°Oh, I just want to buy another one as a backup. Why? Can¡¯t I?¡± ¡°No, of course you can¡­¡± The Crystal Crown Man: ¡­ The Crown Crystal Man was speechless. Spare? Using a Gold shield as a backup? You must be joking. Moreover, he saw that the equipment chosen by Legion were all tank equipment that increased HP and Defense! He was going to challenge the dungeon, not a real men concentration camp! He would not be standing there and letting the monster beat him up, right? The Crown Crystal Man couldn¡¯t say anything, so he let him be. ¡°A total of 1,000 contribution points.¡± He swiped his card and took the goods. After spending 1,000 contribution points, Jack had more than 20,000 contribution points left. The Crown Crystal Man did not withhold any information. ¡°After Level 50, the Federation can buy these equipment back at their original price.¡± This sentence completely sealed off Jack¡¯s path as a second-hand dealer. ¡°The 1,000 contribution points I applied for you will be distributed tomorrow at the latest.¡± Why would Jack buy another shield? Of course, he did not have the hobby of being an elder brother. It was purely to increase his value. What other attributes could be better than Defense? A huge shield had an additional value of 20,000 to 30,000, not to mention skills. Now that Jack had changed his equipment, his attributes were greatly increased. ID: Legion Level: Lv 50 Occupation: Primordial Shield Envoy HP: 38,000 / 38,000 MP: 15,000 / 15,000 Talent: Growth Attributes: Strength 305, Intelligence 205, Spirit 55, Defense 182,036, Agility 102, Luck 3 Shield Value: 182,703 Skills: Primordial Protection Lv5, Primordial Favor Lv40, Shield Exemption Lv1, Shield Attack LV5, Primordial Protection Lv1, Repay Evil With Evil Lv1 Status: Rank Power Mystic Realm: Earth Elemental Mystic Realm Skill Points: 0 It was said that before Level 100, the increase in attributes brought about by leveling up was very slow. After breaking through Level 100 and becoming a First Grade Guardian, his attributes would increase at a terrifying rate! The combat power of a First Grade Guardian far surpassed that of a Quasi Guardian. That was the reason. With his Strength increased once again, Jack was even more confident about his journey to the Path of Trial. The Crown Crystal Man saw that the time was right and said immediately. ¡°Legion, there¡¯s an A-rank mission related to the trial. You can earn 10,000 contribution points by completing it. Are you interested?¡± A-rank mission, 10,000 contribution points? Jack was too interested. Mission rating went from SSS-rank, SS-rank, S-rank¡­ all the way to F-rank. Jack had previously killed the bald Priest, which was a C-rank mission. He had received 1,000 contribution points as a reward. Helping Tianke City raise its Affinity by 30 points only earned him 30,000 contribution points! One A-rank mission was equivalent to a third of his gains! Seeing the Legion move, the Crown Crystal Man felt confident. ¡°The Federation has a special training program for students whose talent exceeds Grade S. Form a small team and let them gain benefits in various dungeons to nurture top-notch combat power!¡± ¡°This time, the Federation wishes for you to be the captain and take care of the other members. In the end, we will see how the mission is completed and reward you.¡± ¡°Would you consider it?¡± Genius team? Fan Jia¡¯er immediately came to Jack¡¯s mind. She was also one of the geniuses. She was arrogant and condescending. Be their nanny? ¡°Forget it. I prefer to be alone.¡± ¡°If I meet them on the Path of Trial, I will show mercy.¡± The Crown Crystal Man did not feel disappointed as he watched Legion leave. Ferocious beasts always liked to travel alone. Only cows and sheep would flock together. Geniuses were supposed to be like this! ¡°I only hope that the small team from the Federation will not anger Legion in the dungeon¡­¡± ¡­ Chapter 34 ¡°Jia¡¯er, we¡¯re just waiting for you, come quickly!¡± Fan Jia¡¯er was dressed in Silver equipment. She followed behind a beautiful Thief. ¡°Jia¡¯er, your luck is really good. There¡¯s still one more spot for this dungeon!¡± The ID of the beautiful female Thief was [Sister Thief¡¯s World]. Her figure was hot and she did not look like an 18-year-old student at all. Fan Jia¡¯er called her Sister Tiantian. ¡°The Federation has allowed Grade S and above candidates to head to the Path of Trial Mystic Realm. This is the most important dungeon below Level 100!¡± Every day, as she leveled up, she would introduce the Trial Grounds Mystic Realm to Fan Jia¡¯er. ¡°Everyone with the trial token is randomly thrown into a huge continent. Elite monsters are everywhere in the city. Players can attack each other or kill monsters to obtain attribute rewards. The longer one persevered in the Trial Grounds, the greater the rewards obtained upon conclusion. Players only needed to persist for six hours or more to obtain Rank Power. That is a state that is as good as Grade S talent!¡± After hearing the rules, Fan Jia¡¯er was enlightened. ¡°Don¡¯t we get rewards only if we complete the dungeon?¡± Fan Jia¡¯er was also a gaming enthusiast. In the eyes of the teachers, she was the best student! ¡°I¡¯m familiar with such rules. I¡¯ll advance if I survive, I¡¯ll get into the finals if I survive!¡± ¡°Hehe.¡± ¡°Jia¡¯er, you¡¯re too naive!¡± Tiantian sneered. ¡°Why do you think the Mystic Realm is called the Path of Trial and not Trial Grounds?¡± ¡°Could it be!¡± Tiantian nodded and said. ¡°That¡¯s right. The Path of Trial has other contents within it. There are other rules. All the players who entered the Mystic Realm would receive the same mission! To look for the Trial Grounds! However, the strange thing was that no one had found this Trial Grounds until now. The important thing was that there was a rule to this mission. If one killed an enemy during the process, they would plunder a portion of the enemy¡¯s attributes! The stolen attributes would be transferred along with the kill, just like a snowball. ¡°The more people you kill, the higher the attributes you obtain. The higher the possibility of being targeted!¡± Fan Jia¡¯er¡¯s pupils shrank, and she subconsciously retreated. Putting aside how to complete the mission in the Trial Grounds, Just the existence of this rule directly eliminated the possibility of her ¡®hiding¡¯! Under the influence of this rule, everyone that entered the Path of Trial would become incomparably crazy! If one killed others, they would become stronger and have unlimited potential to grow! At the same time, the players who performed too well would be targeted by everyone else and be killed. To covet gains ahead without being aware of the dangers behind. The winner takes all! No one could reject such a generous gift. Killing was also a type of trial! Father and son turning against each other, brothers becoming enemies. No matter how good their relationship was, they could not be trusted in the trial! As a performer in the art of retreat, Fan Jia¡¯er wimped out. ¡°Sister Tiantian, must we go?¡± ¡°Scared? Who was the one who swore to find trouble with Legion?¡± Tiantian whispered. ¡°Let me tell you a secret. Legion is also going to the Path of Trial! He might even become our captain!¡± Hearing the word ¡®Legion¡¯, Fan Jia¡¯er recalled her sullen past. It was all because of Legion! Legion was even more infuriating than Jack! No, it seemed like Jack was even more infuriating! In any case, both of them made Fan Jia¡¯er very angry! ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll go! Who¡¯s afraid of him!?¡± ¡°Maybe I can even kill Legion and steal his attributes!¡± ¡°You have guts. I¡¯m not optimistic about your chances, hahaha!¡± The two of them found the gathering point. There were already four men and one woman waiting there. The leader appeared awkward, he said unhappily, ¡°We¡¯re just short of you. Hurry up.¡± ¡°This time, I will lead the team into the trial with my Grade SS talent [Worldly Tyrant]. If you don¡¯t listen to my commands, it will affect the distribution of contribution points. Do you understand?!¡± Tiantian and Jia¡¯er joined the team and exchanged glances. Where was Legion? Tiantian felt it was strange too. Didn¡¯t they invite Legion to lead the team? ¡­ ¡­ ¡°I¡¯m not a nanny. Was it fun to travel with a bunch of kids?¡± Jack, who had lived two lives, was much more mature than his peers. ¡°These geniuses are very difficult to deal with. Their personalities are generally flawed. They were arrogant and condescending because of their talent. ¡°What if I kill anyone who challenges me the moment I enter the dungeon? What¡¯s there to protect?¡± ¡°Me staying away from them is the greatest protection for them!¡± After rejecting 10,000 contribution points, Jack¡¯s heart was still bleeding! He could only mutter to himself to comfort his injured heart. That was one billion Federation currency! They had given too little. Jack might have agreed if they had offered tens of thousands of contribution points. It was a pity there wasn¡¯t more. Jack was very familiar with the information of the Path of Trial. Jack was looking forward to killing to plunder attribute. However, he was more looking forward to the ¡®Trial Grounds¡¯. It was said that no one had been able to find it until now, and it might even require Rank Power for one to find it. ¡°Trial token, 12 o¡¯clock. I can use it now!¡± Jack pressed his hand on the trial token. With a bright flash, he disappeared. At the same time, in different places in the Divine Realm continent, lights were shining. These were all players and NPCs who had entered the trial. Above the clouds of the Divine Realm continent, a beam of light lit up. Many figures could be seen within. This was the passageway to the Path of Trial Mystic Realm. After the passageway was formed, all of the teleportation were completed and it was slowly closing. At the end of the continent, in the dark region of the Forbidden Sea, a pitch-black light shot out at an extremely fast speed. It seemed to defy the distance between time and space. The black light instantly arrived outside the light passageway and penetrated inside. Before the Mystic Realm closed, the black light successfully entered the Path of Trial Mystic Realm. Black rain began to fall on the trial continent. As the black rain fell on the monsters¡¯ bodies, they began to change rapidly. Their strength increased exponentially and their aura became more evil and violent! The Level 50 Sludge Monster turned into a black humanoid and hid in a corner of the continent after being drenched in the black rain. ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk¡­¡± ¡°They definitely wouldn¡¯t have thought that the Evil God¡¯s evil thoughts could sneak into the Path of Trial and attach themselves to elite monsters.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s fight, my children. Devour to your heart¡¯s content and let the strongest king emerge!¡± ¡°Then, destroy this Mystic Realm!¡± Chapter 35 ¡°Something is wrong.¡± A ray of light flashed, and Jack appeared on the abandoned street. The sky was covered with dark clouds and it was raining black rain. Through the Shadowweave Mask, Jack could detect a pungent odor that made him uncomfortable. ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see.¡± Jack dashed into a forest, placed his shield in front of him and charged forward! He took the Defensive and tank route. He was not worried at all about the damage from the collision. Along the way, he bumped into countless trees. The loud noise attracted the surrounding monsters. ¡°Eh?¡± Jack suddenly stopped and looked at the thing in front of him. ¡°A lone elite monster?¡± An empty space appeared in the dense forest! A huge octopus with a diameter of about 20 meters waved its huge tentacles. It was pitch black and bubbles kept popping out of its body. It looked weird and disgusting. Jack recognized his opponent: Multiple-legged Octopus (50) Health: 300,000 Attack: 21,000 Defense: 9,000 Skills: Broken Limb Regeneration, Vision Deprivation, Chain Whip Broken Limb Regeneration: Regenerates 20% Health, reduces 30% Defense, lasts for 15 seconds, Cooldown 60 seconds. Vision Deprivation: Blind the target for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 120 seconds. Chain Whip: Wave most tentacles to whip the target. The damage is 105% each time. It was not considered a difficult opponent. After killing it, Jack would be rewarded with 10 Strength. With Jack¡¯s output ability, he could kill the Multiple-legged Octopus instantly. However, the strange look on the octopus made Jack cautious. Perhaps there had been some unknown changes in the trial continent. The monsters were different from what was described in the information. ¡°Let¡¯s practice first!¡± Shield Attack! Diamond Shield: Under the Mighty Fury skill, his casting speed doubled! The Shield Attack, which had no Cooldown and no consumption, was like a magic machine gun, shooting out formless bullets crazily. The formless bullets transformed into countless flying spears, trailing a chaos-colored tail that rained down on the opponent¡¯s body. The octopus was attacked. It waved its huge tentacles and attacked Jack. But it was futile. With just a few tens of thousands of damage immunity, it increased the value of Repay Evil With Evil by more than 20,000. In the end, he was still reduced to ashes by the Shield Attack. ¡°You used Shield Attack to kill the mutated Multiple-legged Octopus, +20 Strength!¡± It had indeed mutated! Jack appeared grim. He had thought that the Multiple-legged Octopus would be killed instantly. Who would have thought that it would last a few seconds longer! This meant that the Multiple-legged Octopus¡¯s Strength had more than doubled through mutation! One had to know that in the trial continent, the Multiple-legged Octopus was already the weakest group of monsters. If he had become several times stronger, becoming so difficult to deal with, the Strength of the other monsters would be unimaginable! ¡°I must be careful!¡± As he was being cautious, Jack was also somewhat delighted. The Multiple-legged Octopus had become stronger, and the rewards also increased! 10 Strength attribute points were doubled! ¡°If it had affected all the monsters, it might not be a bad thing?¡± ¡°Doesn¡¯t this mean there are many more surprises inside?¡± ¡°If it had affected all the monsters, it might not be a bad thing?¡± Jack smiled. However, a sudden voice startled his smile! [System prompt: You have killed a Level 50 mutated Multiple-legged Octopus and obtained 10,000 Death Soldiers Points.] ¡°¡­¡± ¡­ ¡­ On the other side of the continent. The genius team that used the trial token was sent to the same place. They were not as lucky as Jack. As soon as they arrived, they were forced to fight against a mutated Multiple-legged Octopus. ¡°Earth-type monster, Multiple-legged Octopus. Jia¡¯er, aren¡¯t you studying Grade S talent? Come and try.¡± There were a total of seven people in the genius team. Five of them were Grade S talents, and two were Grade SS talents. As the captain, it was normal for him to command Jia¡¯er to fight. Moreover, the Multiple-legged Octopus was the weakest monster in the entire trial continent. If she couldn¡¯t even defeat it, it would be best for her to leave the trial continent as soon as possible! This place was not suitable for weaklings! ¡°Jia¡¯er, be careful. There¡¯s something wrong with this Multiple-legged Octopus.¡± Tiantian reminded her. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious, you just need to take it down within two minutes!¡± Fan Jia¡¯er nodded and went into battle. As soon as she started fighting, Fan Jia¡¯er discovered that the Multiple-legged Octopus was extremely difficult to deal with! Super high HP regeneration, trouble caused by Vision Deprivation, and high damage from Chain Whip. The true strength of the enemy was stronger than the data on paper! It had actually beaten Fan Jia¡¯er to the point where she could not even retaliate! In a moment of desperation, Fan Jia¡¯er even ignored the risk of exposing her talent and tried to capture it as her pet! Failure! Failure! Failure! Two minutes later, many people looked at Fan Jia¡¯er with contempt. Three minutes passed. Someone started to yawn, turn around, not caring about the battle. Four minutes passed¡­ Worldly Tyrant¡¯s face was ashen and he looked impatient. ¡°Do you want to fight a Multiple-legged Octopus for an entire day?¡± ¡°Come back and see how I deal with it!¡± With that said, Worldly Tyrant took a step forward, drew the spear on his back, and held it in his hand. He looked at Fan Jia¡¯er with disdain. Grade S talent, that¡¯s all you can do? He heard that she lost to a Grade B talent in the combat test? She was really not worth his time. ¡°Only Legion is worthy of being my match!¡± Worldly Tyrant¡¯s battle intent soared as he charged towards the Multiple-legged Octopus. He wanted to end this quickly. Let these weaklings have an eye-opener. There was a huge gap between a Grade S talent and a Grade SS talent! Chapter 36 The long spear shook. Worldly Tyrant was breathing heavily. The corpse of a Multiple-legged Octopus lay by his feet. ¡°It actually forced me to use the second form of my talent!¡± The tyrant¡¯s face was gloomy, and he looked like an enraged beast. What a disgrace! It took him a minute to deal with a mere Multiple-legged Octopus and he was forced into such a pathetic state! The spear trembled, but the tyrant did not say anything. He growled, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± The genius team fell silent as they followed behind the tyrant. Only Tiantian looked back at the Multiple-legged Octopus¡¯s corpse, filled with doubt. ¡°I know the capability of the Worldly Tyrant. His Grade SS talent has always been the nation¡¯s top scorer!¡± ¡°What is going on!?¡± ¡­ ¡­ ¡°There¡¯s a big problem!¡± Jack was standing on top of a mountain. The entire forest had been purged by him. All the elite monsters had turned into corpses and vanished into thin air. ¡°12 monsters killed. Strength +160, Intelligence +30, Spirit +120, Agility +150!¡± ¡°System prompt: You have killed 12 Level 50 monsters and obtained 120,000 Death Soldiers Points.¡± Relying on the large amount of damage dealt by the Shield Attack¡¯s ability to ignore Defense, as well as the critical damage from Primordial Thorn. Jack was unusually relaxed. Half of the monsters were even killed by the critical damage from Primordial Thorn. At that time, the monsters had already become a pile of corpses without Jack paying any attention to them. What Jack did not expect was that the monsters in this dungeon could provide Death Soldiers Points! This was a pleasant surprise. ¡°System, why would the monsters in the Mystic Realm provide Death Soldiers Points? This has never happened before in the past.¡± [Notification: The result of a special change in the Path of Trial Mystic Realm.] ¡°Special changes? Is it why these monsters have become stronger? ¡± ¡°How interesting!¡± In the trial continent, the more one killed, the higher the attributes one would obtain! However, they could even provide Jack with Death Soldiers Points now! This was a Mystic Realm dungeon that fit Jack perfectly! Especially now. This was practically Jack¡¯s playground. Jack believed that with his continued efforts, he would be able to exchange for the godly skills in the mall very soon! ¡°I shall continue killing monsters.¡± Jack jumped down the mountain and landed steadily on the ground without suffering any damage. Then, he raised his shield and charged towards the other mountain, starting to kill monsters once again! When he walked out of the forest, his attributes increased again: ID: Legion Level: Lv 50 Occupation: Primordial Shield Envoy HP: 38,000 / 38,000 MP: 15,000 / 15,000 Talent: Growth Attributes: Strength 516, Intelligence 595, Spirit 356, Defense 182,036, Agility 324, Luck 3 Shield Value: 183,877 Skills: Primordial Protection Lv5, Primordial Favor Lv40, Shield Exemption Lv1, Shield Attack LV5, Primordial Protection Lv1, Repay Evil With Evil Lv1 Status: Rank Power Mystic Realm: Earth Elemental Mystic Realm Skill Points: 0 Other than the Defense value, the other four attributes had all exceeded 300 points! Even the lowest Agility reached 324, and the lowest Spirit had reached three digits! It had only been less than 20 minutes since Jack arrived at the trial continent! If he were to go all out and kill for six hours, how much could he advance? Not to mention that the legendary Trial Grounds was waiting for Jack! Jack couldn¡¯t even imagine it himself! ¡°Regardless of whether the changes in the Trial Grounds are a scheme, I just need to become stronger!¡± Jack was very confident. If there was really someone behind the scenes who wanted to play a big game here, Then Jack would overturn this game! Before the final battle arrived, increasing one¡¯s strength was the most important thing. Wherever the formless bullet screen went, there was only death! Just as Jack was killing everything, the elite monsters in the trial continent had undergone new mutations! They began to rush in from all directions. If they encountered other monsters on the way, they would start killing each other, devouring and fusing¡­ New monsters no weaker than Bosses would be born! ¡°What¡­ what is this!?¡± The genius team watched a giant beast fly across the sky. It had the head of a giant wolf, the wings of a bat, and a tail with many tentacles! Its body was 30 meters long and it spewed black flames from time to time! Worldly Tyrant clenched his fists tightly without saying anything. They had already been in the training continent for 20 minutes. In the past 20 minutes, what should have been a relaxing exploration trip had turned into a tough battle! There were strange monsters with exceptional strength, elusive enemies, and faintly discernible strange laughters. The entire game seemed to have changed. It was like ¡°Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf¡± became ¡°How the Big Bad Wolf roasted Pleasant Goat¡± when the show was broadcasted. It was a horror story! After a few battles, the genius team found nothing and everyone was injured. At this moment, the seven of them were hiding in a cave, looking extremely pathetic. They were not as high-spirited as before they set off! Of all the people here, which one of them wasn¡¯t a genius? They relied on their extraordinary talent to be the most beautiful people wherever they went. From Level 1 to Level 50, their paths had been smooth-sailing without encountering any setbacks. They had never suffered such humiliation. The seven of them had a subtle change in their mentality. The six of them were on the verge of breaking down. They wished they could say ¡°Damn¡±. ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m really tired¡±. ¡°Destroy them¡±. Only Fan Jia¡¯er was fine. Because ever since she started playing, she had encountered quite a few setbacks. Legion beat her to the Earth Elemental Dungeon dungeon, she got beaten up by Jack in real life who has only Grade B talent, and became a well-known Grade S talent laughing stock¡­ These incidents had trained Fan Jia¡¯er¡¯s mind. It was easier for her to adapt to such a depressing situation. Some people who were used to suffering setbacks, so they have nothing to lose. She used Earth Heal to fully heal her teammates, and everyone¡¯s attitude towards her softened. In the previous battles, Fan Jia¡¯er¡¯s performance was outstanding. Her reaction time and combat ability was the best in the team. She had proved herself. Even Worldly Tyrant¡¯s attitude towards Jia¡¯er had changed. After reorganizing, Worldly Tyrant¡¯s deep voice sounded. ¡°Everyone, there has clearly been an unknown change in the trial continent.¡± ¡°We can¡¯t be sure of the cause of this change yet, but I have a bad feeling that this black rain might be related to the Evil God. They have the same stench!¡± ¡°As the team leader, I hereby announce the change in strategy for this operation.¡± Worldly Tyrant declared. ¡°Try to avoid fighting as much as possible, persevere for a longer time, and collect more information. When we return to the Divine Realm, this information will help us find the person behind the scenes!¡± Most people in the team agreed with what Worldly Tyrant said. They were all geniuses, and even though their personalities were flawed, they were all very proud. But that didn¡¯t mean they had no brains. Worldly Tyrant¡¯s strategy was the best solution at the moment. If they continued to fight blindly, it would only cause them to be eliminated earlier! ¡°I have a suggestion.¡± Fan Jia¡¯er said timidly and everyone looked over. She bit her red lips and made up her mind to express her view. ¡°Legion is also on this continent. How about we find a way to meet up with him?¡± ¡­ Chapter 37 Legion! Upon hearing this name, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up. It was like a drowning person clutching at a straw. They were also questioning themselves in their hearts: If Legion was here, there would be hope. Everyone had their own answer. The light in their eyes faded quickly, and everyone felt depressed once again. ¡°They are all Level 50 existences. If seven people can¡¯t do it, Legion can¡¯t either!¡± To be fair, the legendary Grade SSS talent was indeed heaven-defying. People outside speculated about Legion¡¯s talents: Grade SS or Grade SSS. Even if Legion was truly a Grade SSS talent. He was only Level 50! No EXP could be obtained in the trial continent. Everyone¡¯s level was limited to Level 50. Even Worldly Tyrant, with Grade SS talent, found it difficult to advance. How strong could Legion be? Two fists are no match for four hands! The possibility that Legion could create a miracle was too slim. Everyone thought so. However, they did not know that Legion was not a heaven-defying demon. He was just a hacker. At that moment, Worldly Tyrant voiced out everyone¡¯s thoughts. ¡°In the current situation, Legion probably can¡¯t even protect himself. The area of the trial continent was 10,000 acres, close to the size of 2,000 football fields. Finding Legion in such a large area is like searching for a needle in a haystack!¡± After saying that, Worldly Tyrant paused, giving everyone time to think. After all, what he said was the truth. Fan Jia¡¯er¡¯s suggestion was not impossible. However, to find Legion from the countless monsters on the vast continent? What a dream! Was it possible for them to wait until Legion has killed all the monsters? Even if the top powerhouses of the past were here, they might not be able to do it. The morale of the team instantly dropped to the lowest point. Once the people¡¯s morale was low, it would be hard to lead the team. The responsibility of the leader weighed down on the Worldly Tyrant as he frantically tried to think of a way to break out of this situation. He wanted everyone to pull themselves together! After remaining silent for a few seconds, Worldly Tyrant came up with an idea. He tried his best to play the role of leader and said, ¡°Let¡¯s look at it from another perspective. This is a match between us and Legion¡± Everyone turned to look at the Worldly Tyrant, unsure of what he meant. Worldly Tyrant: ¡°The seven of us are a team. If we can last longer than Legion, we will have killed more monsters than Legion. ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean that we are stronger than him? We¡¯ll be the best!¡± Everyone became excited after hearing what he said! That was right. If they defeated Legion in this competition, they would be able to brag about it years later: ¡°Even the strongest Legion has lost to me before!¡± They were all young people, and were full of vigor! If they were not full of vigor, could they be considered young? Young people should have guts! Everyone started to speak enthusiastically. ¡°It is our duty to revive the glory of Grade S talents!¡± ¡°I want to protect Grade S talents¡¯ everything!¡± ¡°¡­¡± At this moment, they actually had the confidence to fight for their lives! Only Fan Jia¡¯er muttered. ¡°In order to win, we must be able to leave the smelting trial continent alive¡­¡± Having restored the team¡¯s morale and condition to its peak, Worldly Tyrant felt a surge of pride and shook his spear. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°Prepare to kill the third monster!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡­ ¡­ ¡°I¡¯ve already killed 1,300 of them. It seems there are no more monsters here.¡± At the moment, Jack was sitting on a stone bench in a suburban house, revising. It was extremely boring. It had been an hour since he had entered the trial continent. He had eliminated all the monsters within ten kilometers! Compared to when he first came to the trial continent, Jack¡¯s attributes had changed drastically. ID: Legion Level: Lv 50 Occupation: Primordial Shield Envoy HP: 38,000 / 38,000 MP: 15,000 / 15,000 Talent: Growth, Gathering Method Attributes: Strength 6,516, Intelligence 6,595, Spirit 4,356, Defense 190,036, Agility 4,324, Luck 3 Shield Value: 211,827 Skills: Primordial Protection Lv5, Primordial Favor Lv40, Shield Exemption Lv1, Shield Attack Lv5, Primordial Protection Lv1, Repay Evil With Evil Lv1 Status: Rank Power Mystic Realm: Earth Elemental Mystic Realm Skill Points: 0 After a crazy battle, his five-dimensional attributes all broke through 1,000! Although Jack¡¯s Health Points did not change much, his Defense broke through 190,000! The attributes of his Shield Value also broke through to 210,000! Even the attributes of a First Grade Guardian (above Level 100) would not be as terrifying as his! The increase in attribute points was equivalent to the increase in the attributes of the [Shield Value]. The increase in the attributes of the Shield Value was also equivalent to the increase in the damage attached to the [Primordial Shield Envoy]¡¯s skills. With a Shield Value of 210,000 points, the Primordial Thorn¡¯s critical damage took a small step forward. 35% Shield Value damage was equivalent to 74,140 critical damage! On the other hand, 60% of Shield Attack with high single-target damage which disregarded Defense dealt over 120,000 damage! If Jack were to encounter that Multiple-legged Octopus again, he could turn it into a takoyaki! And that was before activating Primordial Favor. Jack suddenly realized that he was no longer so dependent on the added Defense from Primordial Favor. Now, this skill could be used as a support type skill. What made him the happiest was undoubtedly the increase in his Death Soldiers Points. He had already earned more than ten million Death Soldiers Points, so he bought [Gathering Method]. It was just that he did not expect Gathering Method to be included in his talent. But it didn¡¯t matter. He was very happy with the changes now. ¡­ Chapter 38 At this moment, Jack, who had finished revising, looked into the distance. The surrounding monsters had long been slaughtered by him. Suddenly! In the distant sky, a huge beast was wreaking havoc, indiscriminately attacking other monsters! It devoured the corpses of its dead enemies, and its body was constantly mutating. The head of a wolf, wings of bat, ten eagle claws, and countless tentacles. The ugly monster seemed to have been pieced together by countless creatures. It was full of evil and bizarre aura. This fellow was clearly not an ordinary monster! ¡°Could it be a BOSS?¡± It jumped and appeared on a nearby mountain in the next second. It was hard to imagine why a tank-like existence could move at such a terrifying speed. ¡°I can¡¯t even check its attributes and skills. This wolf-head suture monster is interesting!¡± The game¡¯s unchanging rules: The rewards for killing a Boss were the most abundant! How could Jack let it escape? Jack took out the big gun from his backpack and shot it fiercely! -0! Jack¡¯s Strength attribute was around 6,500. The bullet hit the wolf-head suture monster and dealt 0 Damage. One had to know that his Strength attribute was 6,000 points, yet the monster did not suffer any damage. The Defense of this wolf-head suture monster was not to be underestimated. Sensing the attack, the wolf-head suture monster looked at Jack with a shocking emotion in his eyes. It was then slowly filled with disdain! The wolf opened its mouth and let out a mocking howl. Just this? ¡®Not only is my Defense high, but my HP regeneration was also extremely fast. Even if I suffer 6,500 damage, I can instantly recover!¡¯ Although it could not speak, Jack was certain it was cursing him. Jack was not angry at all. His expression was emotionless. He calmly looked at the wolf-head suture monster in the sky. He silently took out a shield. It was the original Level 50 Gold shield. Jack looked at the wolf-head suture monster in the distance. He moved and instantly appeared in front of the other party. The wolf-head suture monster looked at the black dot in front of it with disdain. Jack looked fierce. Shield Attack! Instantly, 3,000 transparent figures appeared behind Jack and simultaneously casted their skills. Chaos bullets rained down, covering the sky! The disdain in the wolf-head suture monster¡¯s eyes instantly disappeared, and its eyes were filled with shock and disbelief! I, this, this, this!!! You can¡¯t do this! Are you still a Shield Envoy? You actually brought along an army. Let¡¯s fight one-on-one if you have the guts! Calling for backup was not considered an ability? The wolf-head suture monster did not have any intention of fighting back. It turned around and wanted to escape. It flapped its wings crazily. It hated itself for only evolving such small wings. It was too late for regrets. It wanted to cry but had no tears. It felt extremely wronged. ¡®Why did I provoke him?!¡¯ Unfortunately, it was too late. The bullets rained on the monster with extreme speed, and most of them penetrated its body. The wolf-head suture monster did not even have the chance to let out a cry. Countless injuries were inflicted on his body. -127,096 -127,096 -127,096 ¡­ In a short wave of attacks, tens of millions of damage was dealt. It could not even withstand the first wave of attacks. Besides, this was not something it could withstand. The wolf-head suture monster died. ¡°You used Shield Attack to attack and kill the Evil God Evil Thought Creature. Strength +100, Intelligence +100, Spirit +100, Agility +100, Defense +100!¡± ¡°Obtained equipment: Evil Thought Repository!¡± As the wolf-headed suture monster died, Jack also saw the hint given by the Divine Realm. ¡°Evil God Evil Thought Creature?¡± If they were the ones behind it, everything made sense. All attributes +100. The reward for killing the wolf-head suture monster was as good as killing dozens of Elite monsters. At this moment, a pure white hexagonal cube landed in Jack¡¯s hand. Equipment: Evil Thought Repository Storage: 0.3% Description: The Evil God¡¯s evil thoughts barged into the trial continent and disrupted the sacred Path of Trial. Helps to clear evil thoughts. During the conclusion of the dungeon, according to the progress of the collection, bonus rewards will be given! ¡°The Mystic Realm is trying to purify the evil thoughts of the Evil God?¡± Things were getting interesting. According to the information given to Jack by the Crown Crystal Man. The Path of Trial Mystic Realm was not a Mystic Realm dungeon of humans. It originally belonged to an ancient powerhouse that had already fallen from the Divine Realm continent. Ten thousand years ago, an unknown powerhouse was killed and died by accident. His Path of Trial should have become an object without an owner. However, no one expected this. The Path of Trial Mystic Realm sprite was too powerful, and drove off everyone. It lasted alone for ten thousand years. Compared to that, Jack¡¯s Earth Elemental Mystic Realm could only last for a hundred years before it would be exhausted. Jack sighed. ¡°Just how powerful was that ancient mighty figure back then?!¡± ¡­ Chapter 39 Jack marveled at the power of the ancient existence. But at the same time, he was sighing with emotion for the Path of Trial Mystic Realm. Water without a source would not last long. As time passed, the ability of the trial sprite was also slowly declining. A flaw had also appeared in its meticulous Defense, causing the Evil God to take the opportunity to break in! If these Evil God¡¯s evil thoughts were allowed to continue to grow, the consequences would be unimaginable. The trial Mystic Realm sprite had no time to care about this. Most of its strength was used to maintain the stability of the dungeon. ¡°As long as I kill these monsters and Boss, it¡¯ll be fine, right?¡± Jack played with a hexagonal cube and smiled. ¡°Anyway, that was my plan all along!¡± Since he had figured out what¡¯s going on, Jack intended to give his all! Those who took the initiative to attack were unstoppable. Kill everything in sight! The storage of evil thoughts was also slowly increasing. 0.38%¡­ 0.49%¡­ 0.67%¡­ In less than an hour, Jack had collected 15% of the evil thoughts! ¡°That¡¯s strange. It¡¯s been two hours. Why haven¡¯t I seen a single Federation genius?¡± ¡°Could they have already been eliminated?¡± In such an environment, Jack would not be surprised even if the genius team of the Federation had been wiped out. The current trial Mystic Realm was not a place for Grade S Grade SS children. ¡­ ¡­ ¡°How can this be a battle that we can participate in!¡± In a certain cave, the seven-man team was all riddled with wounds. It was not easy for them to have a chance to heal them. In the past two hours, the seven of them had exerted all their strength in order to survive. There was a faint green glow on Worldly Tyrant¡¯s body as his wounds healed rapidly. His equipment had already suffered heavy losses in the previous battle. In a life and death battle, he almost lost his life. Fortunately, everyone¡¯s coordination was getting better and better. Even though they were in a perilous situation, they still managed to survive. After the treatment, he said in a deep voice: ¡°Let¡¯s summarize the results!¡± ¡°In the past two hours, we killed a total of 23 monsters and seriously injured one Boss. We collected information on 72 monsters and 7 Bosses! ¡± ¡°This is an achievement to be proud of. Even Legion may not be able to do so!¡± Worldly Tyrant was stable and favorable, and his words carried the unique charm of boosting everyone¡¯s morale. Of course, if these words were not spoken in the cave, it would be perfect. Inside the cave, the stench of the bear¡¯s den was a constant reminder to these chosen ones of their predicament. The seven-man team didn¡¯t have much information. Some of the rules concluded by observation: The mutated monsters would kill each other and devour each other to create stronger monsters! In the previous battles, the team had almost been wiped out several times. Life and death only took a moment. Their opponent might have been devoured by a passing Boss and they were saved. ¡°Who do you think is the strongest Boss we¡¯ve met?¡± Everyone started discussing. ¡°Three-headed Cerberus!¡± ¡°Splitting monsters can¡¯t all be killed. Their attack power is so high that we can¡¯t even see their health bars!¡± ¡°That huge egg that swallowed some!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Each monster left an indelible impression on the seven of them. They were all restricted to Level 50. The Bosses outside were also Level 50. However, the Boss¡¯ attributes were already comparable to Level 300. Even a well-trained Second Grade Guardian was no match for them! In the corner, Fan Jia¡¯er, who had been silently helping with the healing, suddenly spoke. ¡°What do you think of Spectral Soul?¡± The seven of them instantly quietened down! ¡°Shh!¡± Tiantian placed her index finger in front of her mouth and warned her sternly. ¡°The power of the Evil Gods exceeds your imagination. Don¡¯t look directly at God and don¡¯t speak the name of God!¡± Everyone else nodded in agreement. An Evil God was a God as well! One must have respect for God and do not blaspheme easily! Spectral Soul. These two simple words gave the seven of them goosebumps. Fan Jia¡¯er gulped and asked timidly. ¡°Then¡­ can I use ¡®It¡¯ to refer to it?¡± Everyone looked at each other and tacitly agreed to this nickname. In the following conversation, ¡®It¡¯ specifically referred to Spectral Soul! As the captain, Worldly Tyrant spoke first. His voice trembled as if he was recalling something terrifying. ¡°¡®It¡¯ is the most terrifying existence in the trial continent. I have seen a Boss die immediately after passing by it. There is not even a corpse left behind!¡± When the Boss passed by, it stepped on a Troll. Before that, this Troll had nearly wiped out the seven-man team! When Worldly Tyrant finished recalling, his body was still trembling slightly. He took a deep breath but was still unable to calm his emotions. Tiantian continued. ¡°¡®Its¡¯ main body is actually a pure gold heavy-armored Shield Envoy Warrior. ¡®It¡¯ is usually equipped with two large shields! ¡°However, I think that it should be a carrier. If I didn¡¯t use my talent to keep the team hidden, it would have discovered us long ago!¡± At this point, the other six people looked at Tiantian with gratitude. Thank you, Sister Tiantian, for keeping them from being discovered by the Spectral Soul! Thank you~~~ ¡­ Chapter 40 Everyone was scared. If they were discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable. ¡°¡®Its¡¯ movement speed is astonishing, and it can ignore all damage¡­¡± In the sewer, the whispers of the seven people echoed nonstop. From their description, the Spectral Soul became a mysterious, invincible, powerful, and terrifying existence! They had no doubt about it at all. The entire trial continent would eventually be conquered by Spectral Soul! The terrifying Spectral Soul! ¡°In short, ¡®It¡¯ should be the mastermind. Even if ¡®it¡¯ is not, I believe ¡®it¡¯ is not far from it!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± The seven-man team came to a consensus that Spectral Soul was not someone they could provoke. What Jack didn¡¯t know was that they, who were working hard to clean up the evil thoughts of the Evil God, had already been labeled as super villains. As the black rain fell outside, a huge violent bear rushed in. The seven-man team was chased out again and once again entered the forest filled with monsters. They took every step extremely carefully. ¡­ ¡­ At the center of the continent. An enormous white insect egg that was the size of a small mountain was squirming rhythmically. Countless tentacles stretched out from the eggs, capturing all living creatures and devouring them. At the same time, the egg¡¯s skills kept increasing, as if there was no end to them. ¡°Oh, my child. Eat to your heart¡¯s content, continue eating!¡± ¡°You are the child with the greatest potential and deserve the most rewards. Don¡¯t be impatient, these are all yours!¡± Beside the egg. The muddled black figure of the Sludge Monster commanded the surrounding monsters to jump into the egg. These were the best nutrients for the egg. It waited for the monster to break out of its cocoon. It would be able to break through the Level 50 restriction in the Mystic Realm. At the very least, it would be able to reach Level 80 or even reach Level 100! This was the Sludge Monster¡¯s special trait! After being polluted, a Level 50 Boss would have the insane combat power of a Third Grade Guardian. If it could reach Level 100, how terrifying would that be? With over 100 million HP, who can kill me? The Sludge Monster muttered to itself. ¡°When my child is born, I will eat it. It will be so delicious!¡± ¡°At that time, I will have the strength to stand on equal footing with the trial Mystic Realm sprite and destroy this damned Mystic Realm!¡± The Path of Trial Mystic Realm was an extremely annoying existence to the Evil God. It wanted to destroy it even in its dreams. Human players could obtain high attribute rewards in the Path of Trial Mystic Realm. As long as they killed the monsters in the Mystic Realm, they would receive many attribute rewards! Such Mystic Realm rules were unique in the entire Divine Realm. Not to mention what will be at the end of the Path of Trial, just ¡°Rank Power¡± alone was comparable to a Grade S talent. It was extremely perverse! It would be accompanied by continuous upgrades. Most importantly, it could directly ignore defense attacks. It was too annoying. Every single human powerhouse that walked out of the Path of Trial Mystic Realm had created a great deal of trouble for the Evil God! In the past, there was even a top powerhouse that rose up here! Top powerhouse [Crimson Flame], one of the three Kings, was as famous as [Dark Flare]! Sixty years ago, humans had just entered the Divine Realm. Crimson Flame, which had Grade SSS talent [Red Corpse], had accidentally entered the Path of Trial! That night, the trial continent was covered in bright red blood. Crimson Flame had slaughtered half a continent by himself! Regardless of whether it was elite monsters, Bosses, NPCs, or players, they all turned into Crimson Flame¡¯s attribute rewards! When he left the trial continent, his five-dimensional attributes had all exceeded 10,000. It was known as the strongest Level 50 in history! With the super high attribute points and the blessing of Rank Power, Crimson Red successfully became the top player. After the Divine Realm fused with reality and the outer realm invaded, Crimson Red took the lead and fought a bloody battle for many years, blocking all attacks from the outer realms outside Planet Aquamarine! After that, Crimson Flame earned her reputation, and became one of the three top powerhouses. A year passed. A legend was a legend. Jack was surprised when he read the story. Crimson Flame¡¯s life was like the life of a protagonist in a smooth sailing novel. Path of Trial was Crimson Flame¡¯s land of wealth. Naturally, it was also a thorn in the eyes of the Evil God. If this plan succeeds. they would be able to destroy the Path of Trial Mystic Realm! To the Evil God, it was an extremely important victory! Now, ¡°He¡± was only one step away from victory! The egg was still growing. The Sludge Monster felt the terrifying power within and laughed wildly. ¡°50 million HP, more, more!¡± 50 million HP was already a lot. It was enough to crush all Level 50 enemies. ¡°Even Crimson Flame would not be able to defeat my child!¡± The Sludge Monster was obsessed with Crimson Flame. If it was not because of, He would have long¡­ Thinking of the past, the Sludge Monster was furious. As time passed, the Sludge Monster, as a conscious evil thought, could share vision with most of the elite monsters and Bosses and command them. The Sludge Monster soon realized something¡­ ¡­
