10: One-turn mission

Su Bai's figure landed within the greyish dungeon, where towering flames burst forth with dazzling light, and sparks occasionally leaped out, emitting scorching heat.

Not far in front of him, two massive lava monsters sat there, with scorching flames clinging to their bodies, exuding a terrifying aura.

[Type: Lava Giant]

[Level: Level 30]

[Skills: Self-Detonation, Flame Meteor, Gravity Domain]

[HP: 5000]

[Attack: 500]

[Lava Guard]

[Level: Level 30]

[Skills: Self-Detonation, Flame Meteor, Lava Shield]

[HP: 6000]

[Attack: 500]

"These stats are truly high!"

However, even so, this Hell Lava Disaster Grade dungeon had already been cleared for the first time by other professionals.

After the Transcended's level increased, there were too many operational possibilities, and equipment enhancement was a very significant factor.

Even if their strength couldn't quickly clear the dungeon, they could slowly grind down these monsters through teamwork.

Su Bai opened his Beast Taming Space and directly released Thick Earth Mysterious Turtle and Four-Winged Red Finch.

"Attack!"

"Blazing Heaven!"

Su Bai stood on Four-Winged Red Finch, and terrifying flames roared out from his wings.

The dungeon before him once again became a sea of fire, with flames spreading in all directions, and countless monsters were directly engulfed in the flames.

The cold, emotionless voice constantly refreshed in Su Bai's mind; he was already numb.

"I still need to keep going."

Su Bai exited the lava dungeon, checked the dungeon's cooldown time, and rode Four-Winged Red Finch directly to the next dungeon.

After clearing the next dungeon, Su Bai once again obtained a generous amount of materials and a Platinum Treasure Chest before leaving the wilderness contentedly.

Evening.

Beautiful sunset glow illuminated the sky, casting a faint red hue upon the earth.

Su Bai sat under a lush tree, calculating his gains.

He had already completed the beast's level advancement, and Thick Earth Mysterious Turtle's level had successfully reached Level 30.

[Beast: Armored Xuan Turtle]

[Grade: Totem Rank]

[Level: LV30]

[Constitution: 48512]

[Strength: 44512]

[Spirit: 43000]

[Agility: 36518]

[Overall Combat Power: 50000]

[Skills: Earth-Shattering, King's Might, Thick Earth Shield, Lava Starburst]

[Hidden Evolution Path: Thick Earth Mysterious Turtle - Gengjin Xuan Turtle]

[Materials required for hidden path evolution: 500 Earth Elemental Spirit Stones, 100 Metal Elemental Spirit Stones, 1 bottle of Gold Divine Crystal, 1 Earth Divine Crystal, 1 bottle of Divine Gold Liquid.]

[Current Status: Cannot Evolve, Basic Attributes Not Met.]

"These attributes?"

"I... damn..."

"Am I the pervert?"

Thick Earth Mysterious Turtle's Constitution actually reached 48,000 points; this was too outrageous!

Is this the terror of a Totem Rank beast?

This HP was already comparable to a regular Boss in the late stages of Second Advancement.

He now felt like he had been overwhelmed by happiness!

With this HP, he could let assassins hack at him until the end of time.

According to Su Bai's calculations, for a Totem Rank beast, each level increase added 1,000 to its four basic attributes, which was dozens of times that of a hidden class.

It seems that improving the grade is still the top priority.

How to complete their basic attribute cultivation?

Currently, with basic attributes not meeting the requirements, Su Bai couldn't advance the grade of these beasts.

Forget it, I'll research it after the First Advancement Quest!

The most important task now is to complete the First Advancement Quest.

"Check Quest."

[Quest Panel Displayed.]

[Current Quest: First Advancement.]

[Quest Requirement: Proceed to the Level 30 quest location, Ruined Temple, to begin the quest trial. Within two hours, defeat all monsters within the temple and obtain the Ruined Scepter.]

[Quest Duration: One day.]

[Countdown: 23 hours 40 minutes 37 seconds.]

[Note: Exceeding the time limit will result in quest failure. Quest failure will trigger a one-month cooldown period, during which no advancement quests can be undertaken.]

"Complete the advancement quest within two hours?"

"I feel like this quest is targeting me..."

Normal First Advancement Quests usually require professionals to complete them within one day, with a quest duration of approximately three days.

This quest is too urgent!

"Forget it, I don't care, I'll go back to the city first."

Su Bai directly rode Four-Winged Red Finch and headed towards Tang City.

The Ruined Temple dungeon is located within the city, an official dungeon, and its entrance is at the Lord's Mansion.

To enter this dungeon, one must pay a substantial fee to the Lord's Mansion.

However, as a student, Su Bai could be exempt from this fee, which saved him a bit of money.

Moreover, his backpack was already full of materials and equipment, so he had to go to Phoenix Merchant House first to clear out the materials in his backpack.

The Ruined Temple is a well-known dungeon in Tang City, and the precious materials within it are countless.

Legend has it that this dungeon is related to a deity; whether this is true or false, perhaps only a few people know.

As a little money-saver, Su Bai certainly wouldn't waste this opportunity to enter the dungeon...
