4: Solo Hell-level Novice Dungeon
The next morning.
[Consumed 60,000 Skill Points]
[Blazing Flame Aura (Profound Rank Six Stars) → Demon Flame Aura (Earth Rank Ten Stars)]
[Demon Flame Aura (Earth Rank Ten Stars): Area skill, instantly deals 23,000 damage to enemies within a 300-meter diameter, with an additional 50% severe injury effect lasting 300s. Consumes 10 Mana, Cooldown 2s.]
[To sublimate the skill to Heaven Rank, 10,000 Skill Points are required!]
[Remaining Skill Points: 62]
Song Ming looked at the skill description.
He nodded with satisfaction.
From an initial aura-type skill that reduced healing, it now dealt twenty thousand points of damage instantly.
It was enough for him to safely clear the beginner dungeon.
......
A large bus was already waiting at the school gate early in the morning.
Song Ming got on the bus and started heading towards the location of the beginner dungeon.
The beginner dungeon.
As the name suggested, it was for new Professionals who had just undergone their Awakening to level up.
The higher the level.
The greater the chance you had to stand out in the college entrance examination.
The beginner dungeon was divided into three difficulties.
Namely, Normal, Nightmare, and Hell.
The difficulty increased progressively.
Of course, the higher the difficulty, the more experience gained and the better the treasure chest rewards after clearing it.
At the entrance of the beginner dungeon.
It was already overflowing with people.
After all, it wasn't just the Professionals from their school here.
Professionals from all six high schools in Yunhai City had gathered here.
There were approximately over three hundred people.
Principal Shangguan Sheng personally led the team.
He went to handle the dungeon entry procedures.
Meanwhile, the students gathered in small groups, chattering and discussing.
Those who had already formed teams yesterday were discussing tactics.
Many students were also shouting to recruit people for their teams.
"Our team needs a marksman and a support Professional, anyone interested? Our captain is an Advanced Professional Sword and Shield Knight, guaranteed clear!"
"Paid leveling for new Professionals, one spot left, hurry and get on board!"
"Looking for an Advanced Professional for Nightmare difficulty, no newbies!"
"A beautiful and sweet-voiced support Young Miss, a new Professional seeking guidance, *ying ying ying*!"
Song Ming, on the other hand, was queuing with other classmates in front of the dungeon entrance.
"Song Ming, how about it, do you want to team up with us!"
At this moment.
A voice came from his side.
Song Ming turned his head and saw it was Wang Yang.
He then shook his head.
He decisively refused.
Wang Yang was a bit surprised, "Song Ming, could it be that you found another team?"
"With so many people in a team, leveling up is slow; solo leveling is faster!" Song Ming said indifferently.
"But you're just a support Professional, wouldn't soloing be very dangerous?"
"All us new Professionals have a Town Portal Scroll; I'll use it if I encounter danger!"
Wang Yang nodded.
"Alright then, just let me know if you ever want to team up.
Don't worry about losing Face, we're buddies!"
Song Ming smiled.
He felt a little touched inside.
"By the way, I heard from the class monitor and others yesterday that elite Professionals like Chen Yuanyuan are all guided by specialized Professionals for leveling up.
I'm so envious, I wish I could be that lucky!" Wang Yang couldn't help but say.
Hearing him mention Chen Yuanyuan.
Song Ming's expression didn't change much.
After all, since yesterday, they were strangers.
"Is that so? No wonder I haven't seen her here at the beginner dungeon!" Song Ming said.
"They all went to Advanced dungeons in the wild, where there's more experience from monster hunting and better equipment drops!"
Song Ming nodded.
He was also planning to go to wild dungeons.
The beginner dungeon here simply couldn't satisfy his needs.
"Hey, enough of that, we're about to enter the dungeon soon, how about we compete to see who levels up faster?" Wang Yang winked.
"Then you'd better work hard!"
Wang Yang chuckled, "That confident? Alright then, don't cry later!"
Principal Shangguan Sheng of Third High School finished the entry procedures.
He walked to the front of the line and instructed:
"The beginner dungeon has a low danger coefficient, but you still can't let your guard down.
So I suggest each team should have at least three people: a warrior, a support, and a ranged marksman are indispensable.
Only then will the efficiency of monster hunting be maximized.
And your safety can also be guaranteed!"
After speaking.
He scanned the students gathered in small groups.
When he saw Song Ming alone.
He frowned slightly.
"Song Ming, why are you alone? Haven't you found a team?"
Song Ming said indifferently: "Principal, I want to try it alone."
Shangguan Sheng's brows furrowed even deeper.
"While the beginner dungeon is safe, it's not a joke. Moreover, Song Ming, you're just a support Professional. Are you really going to solo the dungeon?"
"Yes!" Song Ming said without hesitation.
Shangguan Sheng nodded helplessly, "Alright!
However, when you encounter danger, don't be brave.
Quickly use the Town Portal Scroll!"
These young people were ultimately too hot-headed.
They didn't understand the dangers involved.
Sometimes, suffering a little hardship was necessary.
Otherwise, they would only suffer greater losses in the future, perhaps even losing their lives.
"Really? Is it true? Song Ming is going to solo the dungeon? Could it be that he's some rare Professional?"
"How is that possible? He's just the most ordinary support Aura Master, not even an Advanced Professional!"
"Then how dare he?"
"Dumped by his girlfriend, he's stimulated!"
Seeing this, the students couldn't help but whisper.
Song Ming listened to their discussions.
His heart was calm.
The beginner dungeon had three entrances in total.
They corresponded to Normal, Nightmare, and Hell difficulties, respectively.
Most new Professionals like them crowded in front of the light gate entrance for Normal difficulty.
Only Advanced Professionals and some veterans of level seven or eight dared to challenge Nightmare difficulty.
As for the light gate entrance for Hell difficulty.
Not a single person was seen there.
No need to queue.
This also saved Song Ming's time.
He received his Teleport Scroll and dungeon entry token.
He walked directly to the Hell difficulty light gate.
He lifted his foot and stepped straight in.
This action directly stunned the students who were queuing.
They wondered if they were seeing things.
They actually saw someone dare to enter the Hell dungeon alone.
Principal Shangguan Sheng, who was happily chatting with principals from other schools at a nearby table.
Suddenly caught a glimpse of Song Ming's action.
He almost spat out a mouthful of tea.
Principal He Dian of First High School said with great surprise: "Which school is that student from? Daring to enter the Hell dungeon, could it be that he awakened some rare Professional?"
Another school principal echoed: "Perhaps it's some special Professional, this student might give us a surprise."
Only Shangguan Sheng had an embarrassed expression.
"Ahem, that's from our school!"
"Congratulations, congratulations! Not only did Third High School produce an elite Professional, but a special Professional also appeared. You old fellow, your luck is really good!" He Dian said enviously.
"If I told you his Professional is just an Aura Master, would you believe me?"
"What? An Aura Master? Are you kidding me!"
"A support Professional daring to solo the Hell dungeon, even if it's just a beginner dungeon, it's dangerous enough for them!"
"May I ask, what exactly stimulated your student to be so reckless?"
The Faces of the several principals all showed strange expressions.
Shangguan Sheng felt even more annoyed.
If he had known that Song Ming was so stubborn about challenging the Hell dungeon.
He would have stopped him no matter what.
