106: Dark Skills

After briefly looking at the introduction, Li Changkong put away the Lucky Stone.

This item only needs to be worn to exert its effect.

Anything related to luck, whether it's drop rates or the luck of opening treasure chests, can be greatly improved.

In terms of combat, there is also a critical strike attribute, and this critical strike attribute is closely related to luck.

If he wears this Lucky Stone, it will also be of great help to his combat.

Soon, he returned to Tianchang City. Currently, Tianchang City is not much different from when he left.

However, Li Changkong understood one thing: the crisis in Tianchang City could now be considered initially resolved.

Since that Legendary Yao Beast did not appear, other monsters should gradually disperse later.

There were too many people in the city. Although Qian Shuo wanted to take them away, he knew it was impossible.

After returning to the city, he did not linger too long.

The mission he came for was finally resolved, and Li Changkong naturally felt extremely relieved.

There were no incidents on the way back, and he soon arrived in the adjacent city.

He then returned to the school by taking the teleportation array in the city.

He had been away from school for three or four days, and he had managed to resolve a major hidden danger.

If this mission hadn't been resolved, he wouldn't have been able to rest easy.

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Hou Wen excitedly walked over.

Previously, Li Changkong only said he was going to complete a mission, and Hou Wen didn't ask much.

After all, they were adults, and they knew what to ask and what not to ask.

In his hand, he held a paper form and handed it to Li Changkong.

"Are you participating in this?"

Then he asked.

Li Changkong heard this and looked at the form handed to him with some confusion.

The first few words on the paper were "Hundred Schools Freshman Joint Examination."

Seeing these words, Li Changkong already had some idea of the content that followed.

The school often holds various exams and trials throughout the year.

Among them, the most important for freshmen, besides the Freshman Grand Competition, is this Hundred Schools Freshman Joint Examination.

They had been in school for a month now, and the Freshman Joint Examination was to test their strength.

The rules of this Freshman Joint Examination were that the top twenty students from the Freshman Grand Competition could sign up to participate.

Last time, Hou Wen, because of Li Changkong, had entered the top twenty of the Freshman Grand Competition, so he was naturally willing to sign up.

However, there was a significant difference between the Freshman Joint Examination and the Freshman Grand Competition. The Freshman Grand Competition had no great danger, but the Freshman Joint Examination required going to a battlefield.

Once on the battlefield, life and death were already a significant issue.

If one died on the battlefield, people would truly die. Currently, ten people in the school had already signed up.

"If I Rank high in this Freshman Joint Examination, will there be any benefits?"

Li Changkong looked at Hou Wen and asked curiously.

"There are many benefits. As long as you can enter the top ten, you can enter the fourth floor of our Dragon Kingdom's National Library. The first place can even enter the fifth floor of the National Library."

Hou Wen looked at Li Changkong and continued.

Li Changkong had naturally heard of the Dragon Kingdom Library.

The number of skills inside could be said to be extremely vast.

After all, since the game world descended, many precious skills obtained have been stored in the National Library.

The first three floors are accessible to ordinary professionals; they can learn corresponding skills by paying some money.

However, starting from the fourth floor, there is already a certain threshold.

Among them are many Epic-level or Legendary-level skills.

And on the fifth floor, there are Forbidden Spells for mages, Grand Summoning Spells for summoners, and some super skills and unique skills for warriors.

As well as some extremely rare skills, and even basic Dark-type skills.

To enter the fifth floor, one must have made special contributions to the country.

Having such an opportunity could truly be considered once in a lifetime.

In addition, there are other rewards. Generally speaking, the higher the ranking, the more rewards there will be.

"Wait a moment, help me sign up."

After hearing these words, Li Changkong signed up without hesitation.

What attracted him most was not any Forbidden Spell or forbidden technique, but the basic Dark-type skills.

Due to the special nature of his profession, basic skills often displayed terrifying power in his hands.

To raise a basic skill to max Rank often required more than ten or even decades of effort.

But because he had critical strikes, he could greatly shorten this time.

A single ten thousand times critical strike could be equivalent to decades of hard cultivation for others.

And Dark-type skills are considered the most terrifying existence among all magic-related professions.

However, Dark-type skills are more difficult to upgrade than ordinary skills.

Later, someone discovered that by killing humans with Dark-type skills, a large amount of experience could actually be gained.

Because of this discovery, human infighting gradually appeared all over the world.

The external enemies had not been resolved, and this situation appeared internally.

So, someone proposed a permanent solution: no one would be allowed to learn Dark-type skills in the future.

As long as there were similar skill books, they would basically be controlled immediately.

For example, the Black Magic Ball among Dark-type skills, its damage is several times that of a Fireball.

If others acquire Dark-type skills and want to improve their Rank, they can only do so by harming humans, eventually becoming public enemies of humanity.

Li Changkong was different; he didn't need to use this method.

Besides this reason, he was confident that his strength could achieve a good ranking.

He had encountered such a dangerous situation on this trip to Tianchang City, and he didn't believe anyone could be stronger than Xu Fu.

"However, there's one thing I don't know if you're used to. If you want to participate in this competition, you must participate through a team."

"This team is randomly assigned, roughly five people per squad."

Hou Wen continued to look at Li Changkong. Having spent so much time with Li Changkong, he naturally knew Li Changkong's personality.

Usually, whether it was a dungeon or a mission, he was used to going alone.

"No problem."

After thinking it through, Li Changkong readily agreed to the matter.
