14: Heavenly skill, soul-destroying aura!
On the way to the Demon City Dungeon.
Song Ming wasn't idle.
He checked his panel.
His skill points had accumulated to 10641 points.
Among his current three skills, only Demon Flame Aura and Petrification Aura dealt damage.
And Demon Flame Aura was the skill Song Ming felt most comfortable using.
Not only was it an area-of-effect skill, but it also dealt a large amount of damage.
For dungeons with a large number of monsters, this skill was perfectly suited.
So Song Ming only hesitated for a moment.
Then he directly allocated the skill points to the Demon Flame Aura skill.
[Consumed 10000 skill points]
[Demon Flame Aura (Earth Rank Ten-star) → Soul Extinguishing Aura (Heaven Rank One-star)]
[Soul Extinguishing Aura (Heaven Rank One-star): Area-of-effect skill, instantly deals 106500 points of fire damage to the Souls of enemies within a 400-meter diameter, with an additional 60% severe injury effect lasting 400s. Consumes 10 Mana, cooldown 1.5s.]
[The skill has sublimated to Heaven Rank; upgrading one more star will require 20000 skill points!]
Song Ming glanced at the skill description.
The Heaven Rank skill, Soul Extinguishing Aura, was no longer limited to damaging the enemy's physical body.
Instead, it directly burned the enemy's Soul to ashes.
It could be described as an extremely sinister skill.
Coupled with its high damage of over one hundred thousand.
One skill usage.
It was like cutting grass; they fell in large swaths!
Song Ming felt incredibly thrilled just thinking about it.
Now *this* is what he called grinding monsters!
Afterward, Song Ming put on the blue equipment, the Tiger Tooth Pendant, that he had obtained earlier.
It increased casting speed and added 15 Mental Energy.
That was also pretty good.
As for the free attribute points gained from leveling up.
Song Ming had already put them all into Mental Energy!
After all, the effects of all his current skills were tied to Mental Energy.
The higher the Mental Energy, the higher the damage.
The higher the Mental Energy, the higher the Mana.
The higher the Mana, the more times skills could be cast!
Forming a positive cycle.
Ultimately, the damage output of his skills would accumulate to a terrifying level.
Whether it was an Abyss Demon or a Secret Realm Dominator!
One skill usage, and they would all turn into corpses!
With all preparations for entering the dungeon complete, Song Ming and Jiang Rong encountered a few elite demons on their way to the rift valley.
He took the opportunity to use his newly sublimated skill.
Soul Extinguishing Aura!
It directly extracted the filthy Souls of those elite demons and instantly refined them!
Without their Souls.
Those elite demons naturally died instantly.
But their bodies remained completely unchanged!
This move startled Jiang Rong, who had been quietly observing from the side.
She couldn't even tell what kind of skill could kill a demon so silently and without a trace!
At the same time, she mentally upgraded Song Ming's abnormal Rank by two more levels!
Entering the rift valley.
A glowing gate, emitting a terrifying aura from the Abyss, stood in the center of the rift valley.
Here, there were no demons to bother them.
Therefore, many Professionals gathered here, forming teams to enter the dungeon and farm monsters.
At this moment, a team of Professionals teleported out from the glowing gate.
Chen Yuanyuan walked at the front of the team.
“Junior Sister, you're lucky today; you got a top-tier green equipment, the Demon-Slaying Staff, which is perfect for you!” said a young man wearing knight's armor.
“Yes, Yuanyuan, your profession is Elementalist, this equipment couldn't be more suitable for you!” another girl in the team said.
Chen Yuanyuan's face showed a hint of pride.
“It's all thanks to you Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters for helping me level up; otherwise, I wouldn't have reached Rank 10 so quickly and obtained such a good piece of equipment!”
“Since you were guaranteed admission to East China Academy, this is what we should do!”
“Alright, now that you've reached Rank 10, it's time for us to enter the hell-level dungeon!” the team leader, who was the highest Rank, immediately added.
“Okay!” Everyone nodded.
After a short rest, they were about to enter the dungeon again.
But Chen Yuanyuan suddenly froze, staring in disbelief at Song Ming not far away.
“Song Ming! What are you doing here?”
Song Ming was also a little surprised to hear that, but that was all.
He replied indifferently, “What, only you are allowed here, and I'm not?”
“You...” Chen Yuanyuan was choked and couldn't speak.
Jiang Rong, on the other hand, widened her eyes, her emotions incredibly complex for a moment.
“You're Song Ming! Then why didn't you tell me earlier!”
“You didn't ask!”
Jiang Rong's face immediately flushed, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into right then and there.
I used Song Ming to put down Song Ming?
Am I out of my mind!
“Song Ming, are you crazy? You're a support, coming here to clear a dungeon isn't just seeking death?”
Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but say.
Song Ming, however, couldn't be bothered to waste words with her and walked directly to the glowing gate leading to the Demon City Dungeon.
Seeing herself ignored.
Chen Yuanyuan became even more furious.
But then she suddenly thought of something.
She felt that it must be because she broke up with him, which stimulated Song Ming.
Seeing him pretend to be indifferent to her, Chen Yuanyuan became even more convinced of her guess.
“Song Ming, we were never people from the same world; we were bound to separate sooner or later. When I broke up with you yesterday, it was actually for your own good!”
“Even if you insist on going to the dungeon to die now, I won't take back what I said!”
“There's no longer any possibility between us two!”
Chen Yuanyuan said mercilessly.
Song Ming, however, looked at her in surprise.
He never noticed before that this woman was so good at overthinking things.
And that he was stimulated because they broke up.
Song Ming just wanted to ask one question.
Are you worthy!
Ignoring the crazy woman's nagging, Song Ming looked at the Abyss Gate connected to the Demon City Dungeon.
The stele once said that if one could close this gate.
One could receive a reward of one thousandMerits (merit points).
At that time, he could go to the Yunhai City Pollution Control Bureau.
To exchange for items he desired.
Perhaps he could even obtain a powerful skill or a class change book.
These were what he needed most at the moment.
But closing this Abyss Gate was not that simple.
You had to trigger the hidden stage within the dungeon.
And then clear it.
However, the so-called hidden stage would only exist in hell-level dungeons in the first place.
For so many years.
No one had ever been able to trigger the hidden stage within the dungeon.
Perhaps some had.
For example, after entering the hidden stage, due to insufficient strength.
They ended up dying inside.
The kind where even their bodies couldn't be found!
The hell-level Demon City Dungeon was already terrifying enough.
At least so far, no one had been able to clear it!
Adding to that the legendary hidden stage.
The difficulty was certainly outrageous.
It was perfectly normal that no one had been able to close the Abyss Gate for so many years!
Just as Song Ming was lost in thought.
Chen Yuanyuan, seeing herself constantly ignored, was so angry she almost jumped up.
“Song Ming, are you even listening to me?”
Yuan Qian, the captain of the team that was helping Chen Yuanyuan level up, also spoke up:
“Student, you just arrived here, you probably don't have a team to take you in yet.”
“How about this, since you're Yuanyuan's ex-boyfriend, why don't you join our team? We can help you level up too!”
Chen Yuanyuan was immediately touched, “Captain, you're so kind!”
“Student, did you hear that? Don't just stand there, hurry up and come over!”
“Junior Sister Chen Yuanyuan is now a member of our East China Academy, kid, unless you can also get into East China Academy, otherwise there's no chance between you two!”
“Student, listen to me, I'm an experienced person, my ex-girlfriend... sigh, never mind!”
Other members of Chen Yuanyuan's team also spoke up, trying to persuade him.
