161: It's such a waste of resources!

After using both the heart of infinity and the Skill Point Books, Song Ming finally achieved his goal.

The only thing that made him feel extremely regretful was that this large dungeon only opened once every ten years.

Moreover, it couldn't have its cooldown reset by paying credit like the dungeons in the Instance Dungeon Palace.

Otherwise, Song Ming could have entered a few more times.

He would not only have obtained more Skill Point Books but also directly leveled up to Rank 100.

This would have saved him a lot of effort.

Song Ming was amused by his own thought and gently shook his head.

One should not be too greedy.

Currently, he had 25 skill points per second, which was already more than enough.

He no longer needed to worry about not having enough skill points for the time being.

As for his Rank, there was even less need to worry.

With so many dungeons in the Instance Dungeon Palace, he would definitely be able to reach Rank 100.

It was just that the subsequent Fifth Breakthrough mission might be a bit troublesome.

After all, Rank 100 was a very significant hurdle.

Many people were stuck on the Fifth Breakthrough mission.

If they couldn't complete it, they couldn't even advance a single Rank.

However, for Song Ming, as long as the mission wasn't too tricky, he would complete it with almost no effort.

The Professionals in the hall had already fixed their gaze on Song Ming even before he took out the heart of infinity.

After all, the heart of infinity was a legendary Dao item; if forged into equipment, its quality would definitely be no less than a golden legend.

And the value of a golden piece of equipment goes without saying.

It was a top-tier item that was priceless and rarely seen on the market.

Only Fifth Breakthrough powerhouses who had surpassed Rank 100 could possibly own one.

Not to mention, equipment forged from the heart of infinity could allow one to rapidly increase skill Ranks and enhance the power of skills.

It was a treasure that all Professionals yearned for.

Just as everyone thought Song Ming was merely taking out the heart of infinity to display it, he directly used the Dao item.

Everyone's hearts were instantly struck by lightning, feeling immense pain.

Such a legendary Dao item, if forged into equipment, could maximize its value.

Using it directly was simply a waste of heavenly resources.

Even though this heart of infinity had nothing to do with them, it didn't prevent them from feeling extremely heartbroken.

"Holy crap, he just used the heart of infinity?"

"What a waste, it's such a waste!"

"If I'm not mistaken, Song Ming is almost at Rank 100, and leveling up will only get harder from now on."

"He just used the heart of infinity like that? Just for the ten extra skill points per Rank? That's utterly foolish!"

"Damn it, the heart of infinity isn't meant to be used like that, he might as well have given it to me!"

"How extravagant, one heart of infinity and two Elementary Skill Point Books, all for those few skill points, tsk tsk."

Everyone was very dissatisfied with Song Ming directly using the heart of infinity, and they couldn't help but discuss it animatedly.

However, no matter how heartbroken they were, it was meaningless.

Because the heart of infinity belonged to Song Ming; how he used it was his freedom, and outsiders had no right to interfere.

Moreover, they had no idea that directly using the heart of infinity actually provided the highest bonus for Song Ming.

Ignoring the words of the crowd, Song Ming calmly tallied his gains from this trip.

Aside from the equipment below the red grade, the biggest gain was the Rank 100 extreme frost heaven garment.

The more than one hundred fire crystal stones were also relatively precious resources.

As for the remaining monster Materials and such, they were all rather worthless items, so he didn't pay them any more attention.

For the next period, Song Ming could only move around in the hall and couldn't leave, which made him a little depressed.

Because this dungeon was in a special space, it was impossible to leave without an official teleportation array.

The Academy, in order to save teleportation resources, would naturally only conduct unified teleportation.

After all, the resources consumed by each teleportation were not a small amount, so it was naturally impossible to open one specifically for a single person.

Song Ming frowned. If he couldn't leave here, it meant he would waste at least two days of his time.

If he had those two days, he would have already reached Rank 100.

"No, I can't continue to waste time here!"

Immediately after, he looked around, intending to find the staff here and ask them to open the teleportation array to send him back.

After all, he wasn't short of the credit needed to open the teleportation array.

Just then, Song Ming suddenly seemed to remember something.

A stone emitting a white glow instantly appeared in his hand.

It was the Great Teleportation Stone that Director Gu had given him earlier!

Since this space could only be left through a teleportation array, then couldn't the Great Teleportation Stone also work?

He acted on the thought immediately.

Song Ming didn't want to continue wasting time here.

Clenching the Great Teleportation Stone, a scene instantly formed in his mind: the living room of the villa he rented at the Academy.

As Mental Energy was poured in, the surface of the Great Teleportation Stone suddenly erupted with a strong burst of light, instantly enveloping his entire being.

Song Ming's figure instantly vanished from his original spot, and the white light quickly dissipated.

Seeing this, everyone in the hall had shocked expressions on their faces.

A living person disappearing into thin air before their eyes naturally startled everyone present.

"Where did the Great God go?"

"No, how did the Great God leave? The teleportation array isn't scheduled to open yet."

"Song Ming must have a Great Teleportation Stone; otherwise, he couldn't have left here."

"Hiss, a Great Teleportation Stone, one would probably cost at least tens of thousands of credit, where did he get it?"

"This is too extravagant, using a Great Teleportation Stone just like that."

"Hmph, if you had his strength, things like Great Teleportation Stones would be readily available!"

They were now completely shocked by Song Ming's displayed strength and "wealth."

He wasn't even willing to wait two days.

Directly using a Great Teleportation Stone to leave, even those Academy faction members would feel heartache for a long time.

...

Song Ming opened his eyes again and was surprised when he saw his surroundings.

He had not been teleported back to his villa.

Instead, he had appeared outside the main gate of Divine Xia Academy.

Looking at the tall and majestic school gate before him, Song Ming suddenly understood.

It seemed this great gate also had the ability to block external teleportation; otherwise, any stranger could teleport into Divine Xia Academy to cause destruction.

After showing his identity card, Song Ming successfully entered the Academy.

Just then, his phone vibrated.

He opened his phone to see a message sent to him by the Academy's official account.

"[New record for clearing the Endless Snowfield dungeon, special reward for Student Song Ming: 500 credit, 30 Academy Performance Points!]"

After seeing the message, Song Ming smiled.

The Endless Snowfield truly lived up to its name as a large dungeon; the rewards were quite substantial.

Previously, clearing ordinary dungeons only earned him 5 Academy Performance Points; now it had directly increased sixfold.

It was just a pity that this reward could only be triggered once.
