115: The Fountain of Life is obtained, and the fourth job mission is completed perfectly!
Looking at the Black Dragon's corpse, which had been dismembered on the ground, Song Ming shook the blood from his Zhu Xie Sword and then put it away.
At the same time.
A series of notification messages appeared before him.
[Killed the dungeon's final BOSS, Despair Black Dragon, gained 1,000,000 experience points]
[You have cleared the hell-level Dragon Island Instance]
[Clear time: One hour and fifteen minutes]
[dungeon participation: 100%]
[Rating: SSS]
[Reward: hell-level Dragon Island Instance Clear Treasure Chest]
[BOSS drop loot has been automatically picked up]
[You obtained a level 100 gold-grade black dragon ring]
[Quest objective: Kill five Dragons above level 100 (5/5)]
[Fourth-turn quest completed, Rank limit has been lifted]
[Stored experience has been retrieved, your Rank has increased to 80!]
Song Ming's Face immediately lit up with joy. During this trip to Forbidden Dragon Island, in just over half a day, he had directly risen 14 Ranks.
From Rank 66 at the start, he had rocketed up to Rank 80.
This leveling speed could be said to surpass 99% of Professionals.
As for the remaining 1%, Song Ming dared not make any guarantees, after all, there were always people stronger than oneself, and heavens beyond heavens.
He was still relatively humble.
Song Ming then looked at the treasure chest in his backpack space. Without any hesitation, he opened it directly.
[You opened the hell-level Dragon Island Instance Clear Treasure Chest]
[Obtained 1,000,000 experience points, spring of life X1, Elementary Attribute Amplification Scroll]
Subsequently, a drop of spring water, clear as jade and exuding surging life energy, quietly floated above Song Ming's palm.
He looked at this drop of spring of life, recalling the information Ning Hua had told him.
Although this spring of life was just a tiny drop, its value was exceptionally precious, almost on par with a gold-grade equipment above level 100.
This was also why Japan Professionals risked so much to infiltrate here and compete with them.
As for its specific effects.
Ning Hua only knew that a single drop of spring of life was enough to instantly restore a severely wounded, dying high-Rank Professional to full health, with a Physique even better than before.
She was unaware of its other uses.
Song Ming observed this drop of spring of life for a while, then put it back into his backpack space.
Then he turned and walked out of the main hall.
Arriving at the underground white jade plaza, Ning Hua and Jiang Rong were standing there quietly, not having moved an inch.
Song Ming gave the two women an approving look, then said, “The dungeon’s final BOSS, the Black Dragon, has been killed by me. Let’s go out!”
Ning Hua and Jiang Rong exchanged glances, not showing much surprise.
After all, throughout their journey, Song Ming’s strength had completely exceeded their expectations. No matter how strong the Black Dragon was, it couldn't be his opponent.
At the same time, after the Black Dragon died, they also received the dungeon clear notification.
Teaming up with Song Ming to clear the hell-level dungeon, the two of them naturally gained a lot.
The experience points alone from killing monsters allowed Ning Hua to instantly rise 7 or 8 Ranks.
Inside a dungeon, it was different from the outside world.
The experience and rewards obtained from killing monsters or clearing a dungeon were linked to a Professional's contribution.
If the contribution was low, even in a team, the rewards obtained would be less.
Every time Ning Hua entered a dungeon before, she, as the captain, was usually the one with the highest contribution.
But now, she truly experienced the feeling of just lying back and letting others do the work.
However, this time's gains were several times higher than any previous time.
Ning Hua's joy at this moment was beyond words. If this kind of thing happened a few more times, it wouldn't be difficult for her to reach Rank 90 in one go.
However, she also knew that such a thing was impossible.
Song Ming bringing them along to clear a dungeon out of kindness had already given her a lot of Face.
If it happened again, wouldn't she become a petty person like Guo Jun, who only took advantage of others?
Jiang Rong said with a chuckle, “Sister Ning, how does it feel to ride on someone’s coattails? Isn’t it great!”
Ning Hua's Face flushed, and she said helplessly, “Can you be a little more serious!”
“Hehe, I directly rose to Rank 50 this time. If I didn’t still need to complete my third-turn quest, I’d probably be over Rank 60 by now!”
Jiang Rong said excitedly. At this moment, she truly experienced the feeling of being a peerless Genius.
Leveling up was as easy as drinking water.
Who could resist that!
The three were about to leave this dungeon.
Ning Hua seemed to remember something and asked, “Junior, after you killed the BOSS, did a spring of life drop?”
Song Ming nodded, extended his right hand, and a clear, blue water droplet immediately floated in his palm.
Ning Hua’s eyes immediately showed excitement. “It really is the spring of life! This trial quest has finally been completed without any major incidents!”
Jiang Rong also stared at the blue water droplet, curiously asking, “The academy specifically asked us to collect this item. What exactly is its use?”
Ning Hua shook her head. “I’m not too sure either. I only know that it has a powerful life recovery effect. Other than that, I know nothing!”
Jiang Rong nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
For her, as long as the trial quest could be completed, that was good enough.
As for such a treasure, she certainly wasn't qualified to obtain it.
Subsequently, streaks of white light rose from the three of them, teleporting them out of the dungeon.
Inside Thunderbolt Canyon.
At this moment, a large group of Professionals was guarding the light gate of the Dragon Island Instance. Among them, several stronger teams from different academies were gathered, arguing incessantly.
Several teams also wanted to enter the Dragon Island Instance to obtain the spring of life.
However, due to the strength Song Ming had displayed earlier, they were still somewhat hesitant.
Especially a team leader from Azure Dragon Academy, who had been saved by Song Ming, firmly opposed everyone going in, so as not to snatch the spring of life that rightfully belonged to Song Ming.
But upon seeing Song Ming and his companions emerge, the various teams immediately stopped arguing and all looked towards them.
“The big shots are out!”
“How are they so fast? They’ve only been in for a little over an hour, right?!”
“Is that the big shot your Azure Dragon Academy was talking about? Heh heh, running out so quickly and dejectedly?”
“They definitely didn’t clear it. I told you people from Azure Dragon Academy were lying.”
“Nonsense, if even such a big shot couldn’t clear it, then there’s no need for us to go in!”
“That makes sense. Since the big shots are out, can we also go in and try our luck?”
The Professionals spoke one after another, their expressions somewhat excited.
However, just then, a figure pushed through the crowd, stumbling towards the dungeon light gate.
His clothes were tattered, and his Face was bruised and swollen.
The person was none other than Guo Jun. As he ran, he cried out to Ning Hua, “Captain Ning, you must stand up for me! These people beat me up for no reason. When we get back, the academy must punish them severely!”
At this moment, he was missing a front tooth, and his speech was a bit airy. He looked truly miserable.
Ning Hua was also stunned by his words. When she clearly saw who the person was, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
Jiang Rong, on the other hand, burst into unreserved laughter, all her resentment towards Guo Jun from the journey completely swept away.
“You… what exactly happened?” Ning Hua was truly puzzled.
Guo Jun glared at Song Ming resentfully. Just as he was about to speak, he remembered the scene of being ganged up on earlier and suddenly shivered.
“I… I.”
Seeing him unable to explain for a long time, Ning Hua frowned and said grumpily, “Hmph, I haven’t even brought up you leaving the team without permission yet. We’ll settle that score when we get back!”
Guo Jun’s Face fell, and his body trembled slightly.
All his actions during this trip to Forbidden Dragon Island had been seen by Ning Hua. When he returned to the academy, he would certainly not escape another punishment.
