178: Chapter 174 A Great Upheaval, Immortality!

BOSS is dead!

The beast tide has retreated!

The crisis at the Starry Sky Fortress has been resolved.

Everyone was stunned.

From the moment they desperately sent out distress signals to all major forces globally, to this very moment, only a few hours had passed.

The turning point of everything began when they saw that youth who looked somewhat overly young.

With his own power, he slaughtered countless monsters!

He even slew three Emperor-level BOSSes!!

Ending all of this.

...

On the walls of the Starry Sky Fortress, Bai Zhi and Celia were leading the members of Baiyujing to help rescue the wounded.

Nangong Yao was bandaging a veteran's arm while bragging eloquently.

"Uncle, you don't know, but when our boss was outside the city of Kyoto, he was absolutely fierce!"

"The Emperor-level Nine-Headed Soul-Swallowing Python, you know it, right?"

"You don't know... that's fine. You just need to know that it was an Emperor-level BOSS."

"It was preparing to attack Kyoto before. But before it could even see the city gates, it was blocked by the boss's Magic Pet."

"Then it was pressed into the ground and rubbed against it repeatedly, until it was finally played to death."

!!!

"Hiss!!"

The veteran widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"Is... is that true?"

This wasn't even Lu Yuan's first time killing an Emperor-level BOSS?!

Moreover, listening to the young man's words, Lu Yuan was able to easily crush an Emperor-level BOSS last time as well.

This young man was just too monstrous.

"Of course," He Yehua chimed in, her face flushed with excitement. "I saw it with my own eyes! That Emperor-level BOSS was killed by King Slime himself!"

"King Slime is not only good-looking, but also super powerful~"

He Yehua's eyes turned into stars with excitement.

Nearby, a soldier from the Demon Suppression Army curiously approached.

"I heard... this brother Lu Yuan is also the top scorer of the College Entrance Exam?"

"That's right!" Su Yu puffed out his chest, as proud as if he were talking about himself. "Boss is this year's College Entrance Exam top scorer, and he even set a history for the College Entrance Exam!"

"What?!"

The soldier's hand shook, and his water bag almost fell to the ground.

"He... he is this year's College Entrance Exam top scorer?"

"Doesn't that mean he... just awakened?"

Cheng Niannian counted on her fingers, rattling off Lu Yuan's past glories like she knew them by heart.

"Brother Lu Yuan is the College Entrance Exam top scorer! The Devil Guardian! The specially recruited genius of Star Academy! The strongest freshman of Star Academy! The BOSS Slayer! The Demon Conqueror..."

"In short, Brother Lu Yuan is super amazing!"

Cheng Niannian stared with her cute round eyes, looking very serious.

"Hiss—!"

The surrounding wounded and soldiers all gasped in unison.

"He's that badass?"

"Too awesome, this young man..."

"Just awakened for a month, and he's already killing Emperor-level BOSSes?"

"And not just once; this second time, he directly slaughtered three Emperor-level BOSSes."

"Too monstrous..."

"Is he even human?!"

"Baiyujing... what kind of god-tier organization is this!"

"And what do these Magic Pets of Lu Yuan eat to grow up like that?"

"..."

The way everyone looked at Lu Yuan had changed from awe to looking up to him.

They no longer regarded Lu Yuan as a junior.

Instead, they acknowledged and admired him from the bottom of their hearts!

...

[Ding!]

A crisp system notification rang in his mind.

[Congratulations on slaying the Emperor-level BOSS: Three-Headed Dragon (Lv.72)!]

[Congratulations on slaying the Emperor-level BOSS: Mechanical Beast (Lv.71)!]

[Congratulations on slaying the Emperor-level BOSS: Crystal Giant (Lv.73)!]

[Calculating rewards...]

Lu Yuan had just climbed onto the wall when he heard the continuous stream of system notifications.

Before his eyes, a translucent panel that only he could see slowly appeared.

[Obtained Experience Points: 320 million!]

[Obtained Material: Dragon Crystal (Legendary) × 3]

[Obtained Material: Heart of Steel (Legendary) × 1]

[Obtained Material: Crystal Core (Legendary) × 1]

[Obtained Equipment: Three-Headed Dragon Armor (Legendary) × 1]

[Obtained Equipment: Mechanical Arm Gauntlet (Legendary) × 1]

[Obtained Equipment: Crystal Staff (Legendary) × 1]

[...]

A series of rewards made Lu Yuan's eyes shine.

"Three Emperor-level BOSSes... the rewards are indeed generous."

Not only Legendary equipment and materials!

But also noble skill stones!

[Super-tier Skill Stone · Scorching Fire]: After dealing a large amount of fire attribute damage to the enemy, it will additionally release Scorching Fire on the target, causing continuous fire attribute damage for the next 5 seconds.

[Super-tier Skill Stone · Frozen Domain]: Releases a frozen domain centered on oneself. Enemies within the domain will continuously receive ice attribute damage and have a chance to be imprisoned by frost, turning into ice sculptures.

[...]

The effects of several super-tier skills were all quite good and very distinctive.

He believed this would be of great help to Lu Yuan in building spell-type Magic Pets in the future.

"This wave, I've made a fortune."

Just then, two dazzling golden lights suddenly rose from Lu Yuan's body!

[Congratulations! Level increased!]

[Current Level: Lv.48!]

[Congratulations! Level increased!]

[Current Level: Lv.49!]

Two levels in a row!

At the same time, golden lights of leveling up simultaneously lit up on Slime, Little Skeleton, Demon Pill, Iron-Eating Beast, and Goblin!

[Slime: Lv.49]

[Little Skeleton: Lv.48]

[Demon Pill: Lv.46]

[Iron-Eating Beast: Lv.45]

[Goblin: Lv.41]

Lu Yuan's gaze instantly locked onto Goblin.

"Level 41..."

"I can choose a Hextech Rune again."

He moved his mind, preparing to pull up the rune options for Goblin.

Just then, a heavy and slow sound of footsteps came from behind the city wall.

Everyone turned to look.

They saw an elderly man with white hair, looking somewhat exhausted.

His left arm was gone, the empty sleeve fluttering in the wind.

But his back was straight.

In those aged eyes, a heart-shuddering light burned.

The old man pushed away those supporting him and walked forward alone.

He passed through the crowd.

Finally, he stopped in front of Lu Yuan.

The two looked at each other.

The old man slowly extended his only remaining right hand.

"Hello, my name is Old Ghost, the commanding general of this base..."

"Hello, I am Lu Yuan."

Lu Yuan glanced at him and extended his hand as well.

The two hands grasped together.

In Old Ghost's eyes, there was no condescension from a senior to a junior.

Only respect and gratitude.

"Thank you for saving my soldiers."

"This is what I should do."

Old Ghost pulled an ugly smile on his face, staring into Lu Yuan's eyes, his voice low and hoarse.

"Lu Yuan... you are very strong."

"Unbelievably strong."

"But..."

He paused, an unprecedented gravity appearing on his aged face.

"The Starry Sky Battlefield is about to change..."

Lu Yuan frowned slightly.

He didn't quite understand what General Old Ghost meant.

Old Ghost took a deep breath and said word by word:

"Just now, my personal guards died trying to bring back a piece of news from the Starry Sky Battlefield."

"The Starry Sky Battlefield has changed; a BOSS beyond World-level has appeared!"

Beyond World-level?!
