63: Promoted to the first level! Exclusive skill treasure box!

This time, even Wu Ming, who always went against Wan Feipeng, didn't refute him.

After all, Wu Ming was one of only two people present who knew Ye Ze's identity.

This was someone from his East China!

Perhaps if Wan Feipeng didn't train him properly, he could still get him for himself.

If he went to the headquarters, wouldn't this talent have nothing to do with him?

Wu Ming adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and advised calmly, “Alright, alright, Old Wan, stop scolding.”

“If it doesn’t work, we can just do it…”

The headquarters high-ranking official named Wei Ping decisively shut his mouth. “No, I won’t mention it again.”

The rest of the military and headquarters personnel immediately fell silent as well.

This was Wan Feipeng; he might actually dare to start a fight here!

Seeing this, the surrounding security personnel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Only Wei Zheng, the head of Central China, smiled, looking unfazed, and continued to calmly watch the dungeon projection.

…

Meanwhile.

The Three-Tailed Fox's magic damage had stacked to 50%, and she originally thought she could easily kill them without stacking.

However, the five members of Hua Xi Second Team survived by relying on their super-strong Shield Guard.

The little Fox was very angry and was about to unleash another wave of Heavenly Lightning.

And a sound of breaking air, struck at this moment!

It was Swordsman Wang Jingyu's 'Breaking Air Slash,' like a bullet shot head-on, arriving with a swift wind!

Ye Ze hugged the Fox… and instantly swapped positions with the Panda!

“Bang!”

The charging Swordsman was sent flying by a slap from the Panda!

Swordsman Wang Jingyu was dumbfounded.

He had intended this close-quarters sneak attack to at least take out either the Mage (Fox) or the Summoner (Ye Ze).

But he hadn't even blinked, so how did he turn into a Panda?

However, he wasn't given a chance to react; the Panda instantly closed in on the heavily injured Wang Jingyu and unleashed a punch.

“Ding!”

Unexpectedly, an ethereal sound rang out—it was the sound of a skill activating.

Wang Jingyu blocked the Panda's punch with his sword!

The longsword glowed white the moment the punch landed, suffering no damage at all!

“Not bad!”

Ye Ze praised, “You can still pull off a Perfect Block even when heavily injured!”

[Perfect Block: When a Swordsman successfully defends the point of impact of an opponent's attack, Perfect Block is triggered, immunizing against that damage.]

Triggering Perfect Block greatly tests a Swordsman's understanding of attack trajectories, personal reaction speed, and more.

It is both a fundamental and peak skill for a Swordsmen.

It was precisely because of this skill that he could barely block the Panda's punch.

However, Wang Jingyu felt no relief.

Because the Panda merely tilted its head in confusion, then immediately threw a second punch…

“Protect the Captain!”

Seeing this, the members of Hua Xi Second Team rushed over at full speed.

Especially the male Shield Guard, who seemed to gain movement speed when approaching teammates, flew towards the Captain with his shield raised.

However, upon sensing the Shield Guard approaching, the Panda simply turned its head and threw a punch…

“Bang——”

This super-strong Shield Guard, who had protected the entire team from Heavenly Lightning, was sent flying, man and shield, by a single punch!

[Killed a Trialist, gained Experience +1000!]

Swordsman Wang Jingyu's pupils contracted again.

It was then that he realized, if not for Perfect Block, that one punch would have cost him several lives!

At this point, Hua Xi Second Team's members were left with only one Mage, one Priest, and one Support.

No one expected the Captain to lose so quickly!

The only one with output was the Mage, a Lightning Mage at that.

Her skills had no effect on the Panda.

Of course, if not for her applying a lightning element damage reduction buff to the Shield Guard at the time, the entire team might not have even withstood the Heavenly Lightning.

At this moment, from a super long distance, the Priest applied a damage immunity shield to Wang Jingyu.

And the Lightning Mage set her sights on Ye Ze.

But before she could cast her skill, a Squirrel holding a blade emerged from her shadow.

“Stab——”

The Crimson Demon Blade sliced across the Lightning Mage's neck.

With the Squirrel's current stats, even without using skills, it could easily instantly kill a backline class of the same level.

Seeing this, the other two female team members looked shocked.

The Support class, who was also the team's tactician, immediately clicked 'send' on the message she had quickly edited.

The next moment, the Shadow Doppelganger Squirrel appeared behind the two of them and took them out with one strike…

…

On the other side of the Ancient Battlefield.

Hua Xi First Team had just defeated a team of trainees.

Zhu Xiao, with red hair and a bare muscular upper body, had his right hand transformed into a giant tiger claw at this moment, twisting an opponent's neck.

Suddenly, his phone beeped with a message.

Zhu Xiao's right hand returned to its original form, and he nonchalantly opened his phone, finding only two sentences:

[There's an Instructor, a Summoner, who instantly killed Wang Jingyu.]

[Summoned Beasts: one super strength type, one lightning mage]

The rest of the message wasn't finished.

But Zhu Xiao could understand why, because the avatar of the Second Team's tactician who sent the message had already turned gray.

Gray meant they had already left the dungeon.

People outside the dungeon cannot send messages to those inside.

So, this was the last intelligence sent by the Second Team to their First Team before their demise, knowing they were no match…

“Instructor?”

Zhu Xiao inexplicably recalled the Instructor that Fu Wanjun had asked about before the dungeon began…

His eyes glowed fiercely like a tiger's.

“I want to see what kind of strength he has!”

…

[Killed Trialist *3, gained Experience +3000!]

[Killed Trialist *1, gained Experience +1000!]

[Level: 14 (15275/22100)]

Of the remaining four, the heavily injured Swordsman lasted the longest.

Despite being heavily injured, he managed to perform 4 Perfect Blocks consecutively before passing away…

What made Ye Ze even happier was that his Supreme Advancement Quest was finally complete!

[Supreme Advancement Quest - 'Advancing Summoner' completed!]

[Class Tier increased: Tier 0 → Tier 1!]

[Your Summoned Beast space +2, current space: 4/6!]

[Summoner's Four-Dimensional Attributes growth +5, Summoned Beast's Four-Dimensional Attributes growth +5!]

[You received an exclusive Skill Chest *1!]

He could now contract two more Summoned Beasts!

Seeing the last entry, Ye Ze eagerly took out the chest from his backpack.

The exclusive Skill Chest obtained from the Supreme Advancement Quest yields skills of Excellent quality or higher!

Ye Ze was exceptionally excited and opened it directly!

[Ding! You opened an exclusive Skill Chest and obtained an exclusive Skill Book: Divine Protection (Epic)!]

[Divine Protection: All Summoned Beasts gain a permanent shield. While the shield exists, they are immune to crowd control. The shield recovers 1 hour after breaking.]

(Shield value is Summoner's Spirit * 2000%)

Seeing this skill, Ye Ze decisively learned it.

It perfectly compensated for the Summoned Beasts' lack of defense.

For example, the Three-Tailed Fox, as a Mage-type Summoned Beast, had no defensive means and would easily be in danger if Ye Ze wasn't present.

Now with an additional shield, it would be much more reassuring.

And, it could also provide crowd control immunity!

It's just that the shield value was a bit low, still relying on Ye Ze's own Spirit…

In addition, the chest glowed again!

[The 'Lucky Star Shining Brightly' entry takes effect, you will receive a second chest reward!]

[Ding! You received an exclusive Skill Book: Skill Enhancement - Super (Legendary)!]

[Skill Enhancement - Super: Temporarily grants a super enhancement to any one of a Summoned Beast's talents/skills. Cooldown: 5 minutes!]

(Only effective on one skill at a time)
