6: Is this a fucking assist?

Outside the Normal-level dungeon's portal, a long queue still snaked.

At this moment, Shangguan Sheng, the principal of Yunhai No. 3 High School, was growing restless.

If Student Song Ming truly met with any accident inside the Hell dungeon, he, as the principal, would undoubtedly be held responsible.

"Principal Shangguan, don't worry too much. That child still has a return scroll. If he encounters any real danger, he can get out!" He Dian comforted.

"If you ask me, Shangguan, you're just too lenient with your students. Otherwise, such an incident wouldn't have happened!" another principal interjected.

Shangguan Sheng's expression was grim.

"When he comes out, I absolutely must talk to his parents. I've never seen such a reckless student!"

Wang Yang, who was still in line nearby, overheard the principals' discussion.

His heart was also filled with worry, fearing that his good friend had run into trouble inside.

"Sigh, I knew I shouldn't have mentioned Chen Yuanyuan. Who knew it would provoke him like this!" he regretted.

Just then, on the light screen to the side of the beginner dungeon entrance, an announcement completely flooded the display.

"[Congratulations to Student Song Ming of Yunhai No. 3 High School for being the first to clear the hell-level dungeon – Yao Beast Forest!]

[Clearance time: 10 minutes and 52 seconds, ranking first on the Great Xia Country's hell-level dungeon clearance leaderboard!]"

The crowd outside the dungeon looked up and saw this announcement.

They all froze in place.

Especially the students from Yunhai No. 3 High School.

Their expressions were as if they had seen a ghost.

They hadn't even entered the Normal-level beginner dungeon yet, and someone had already cleared the hell-level dungeon.

"Wang Yang, is that the Song Ming from our class? I'm not mistaken, am I?" his teammate Qin Che couldn't help but ask.

Wang Yang snapped out of his shock.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

His expression was quite a sight.

He had even said they would compete to see who leveled up faster.

He hadn't even entered the dungeon, and the other person had already cleared it!

"Who else could it be? We saw Student Song Ming go in with our own eyes!" Wang Yang said with a wry smile.

"But since when could an Intermediate support Professional solo a Hell dungeon?" Qin Che was full of questions.

"Who am I supposed to ask if you ask me!"

Wang Yang rolled his eyes at him and said nothing more.

At the same time, Shangguan Sheng, who had been pacing back and forth anxiously, was pulled by He Dian.

"Shangguan, look over there. Is that Student Song Ming your student?"

Shangguan Sheng looked in the direction he pointed.

After seeing the announcement scrolling across the screen, Shangguan Sheng was slightly dazed.

His mouth gradually widened, and he stood frozen in place.

"Holy cow, Shangguan, what kind of luck did you have to teach a student who can solo a Hell dungeon!" another school's principal said sourly.

"To be able to solo a Hell dungeon, could he be a student with a legendary profession? Shangguan Sheng, you're not being honest, keeping this from us!" He Dian said with some dissatisfaction.

Shangguan Sheng closed his jaw with his hand and said weakly, "If I told you that the Intermediate support Professional who just ran into the Hell dungeon was Student Song Ming, would you believe me?"

Principal He Dian of No. 1 Middle School widened his eyes, "Are you saying the student who first cleared the Hell dungeon is just a support Professional?"

One must know that no one had ever cleared the hell-level beginner dungeon here.

And this person not only cleared the Hell dungeon alone but also only took ten minutes.

Did he think he was just strolling around in there?

This was a support Professional? Who would believe that!

...

Inside the dungeon, Student Song Ming was not in a hurry to leave.

He first checked the loot dropped by the boss in his backpack.

When he killed those small monsters before, they didn't drop any equipment.

Now that he had defeated two BOSSes, two pieces of equipment had dropped directly.

It finally didn't disappoint the sweat and effort he put into the dungeon!

Of course, it was also because the drop rate of beginner dungeons was too low.

After all, this was a place for beginners to level up.

If it weren't for the hell-level difficulty, Student Song Ming estimated he wouldn't have received such generous rewards.

There were two blue-quality pieces of equipment in his backpack.

They were:

[Tiger Tooth Pendant (Blue Advanced Equipment)]

Category: Accessory

Rank Requirement: Rank 10

Attributes: Spirit +15, Agility +10.

Special Effect: Skill casting speed increased by 50%

[Beast King Armor (Blue Advanced Equipment)]

Category: Clothing

Rank Requirement: Rank 10

Attributes: Physique +15, Strength +10.

Special Effect: Reduces normal attack damage by 20% of Health.

Both pieces of equipment were the top-tier gear that could be dropped in this Hell dungeon.

The attribute bonuses and special effects were quite good.

However, he was only Rank 6 now and couldn't equip them.

The Beast King Armor, moreover, could only be worn by warrior-class Professionals.

For him, it was somewhat useless.

He would just sell it on the trading website later.

Such a blue-quality piece of equipment would be worth at least five hundred thousand.

That would be enough for him to buy several Aura Master-exclusive skill books.

Then he could just add points and get several Earth Rank or even Heaven Rank skills.

Compared to these equipment pieces, the bonuses from skills were greater for him.

The only use for these equipment pieces was to increase his Spirit attribute!

Student Song Ming then turned his attention to the treasure chest in his backpack.

[hell-level First Clear Treasure Chest!]

It was said that such first clear treasure chests had a high probability of yielding a Professional-exclusive equipment piece or a Professional-exclusive skill book.

He wasn't interested in equipment.

If he could get a skill book, that would be perfect.

Student Song Ming no longer hesitated and directly opened the treasure chest.

[Opening hell-level First Clear Treasure Chest]

[Gained 1000 Experience Points]

[Gained Aura Master Professional-exclusive Skill Book. After use, a random Aura Master skill will be obtained!]

[Gained Title: Beast Hunter!]

He looked at the title description:

[Beast Hunter: Equip this title. When facing Yao Beast-type monsters, normal attack and skill damage dealt is increased by 15%!]

Student Song Ming hadn't expected that his rampage in the Hell dungeon would actually earn him the Beast Hunter title.

"Increased damage to Yao Beasts by 15%, huh? Not bad!"

Student Song Ming then equipped the title.

He then used the Professional-exclusive skill book with anticipation.

[Using Aura Master-exclusive Skill Book, gained Aura Master Professional-exclusive skill, Imprisonment Aura!]

[Imprisonment Aura: Single-target skill. Cast on a single enemy to imprison them in place for 2 seconds. The opponent cannot use any skills while imprisoned! Consumes 15 Mana. Cooldown: 1 minute.]

[Imprisonment duration depends on skill Rank and Spirit attribute!]

[Do you wish to learn?]

Student Song Ming's luck was quite good; he got a control-type skill.

After all, at this point, he was useless except for his damage.

The skill he obtained from the treasure chest just happened to cover some of his shortcomings.

From leaving home to clearing the Hell dungeon, during this time, his skill points had risen to 3350 points.

Demon Flame Aura still needed 10,000 skill points to upgrade to Heaven Rank, so he wouldn't add points for now.

After all, as his Spirit attribute increased, the damage of Demon Flame Aura also multiplied.

He wasn't lacking in damage for the time being.

He might as well put all these skill points into the newly acquired Imprisonment Aura skill.

"Learn!" Student Song Ming nodded.

[You have learned a new skill: Imprisonment Aura (Yellow Rank One-star)]
