5: Element conversion

On the way to Wolf King Valley.

Su Yan first took out the asura sword to conduct an experiment.

The original attribute bonuses of the asura sword were Physique +20, Strength +66, and Agility +30.

He applied the Talent [Elemental Conversion] to this SSS-Rank weapon.

[Strength +66 → Physique +66]

Click Confirm!

Buzz!

A brilliant light suddenly erupted from the pitch-black blade.

Su Yan hurriedly checked it again.

[asura sword] (SSS-Rank): Physique +20, Physique +66, Agility +30... Haha, it worked!

The 66 points of Strength provided by the asura sword had successfully been converted into 66 points of Physique!

This was the Heaven-Defying nature of the SSS-Rank Talent, Elemental Conversion!

In a great mood, Su Yan smiled and said, "Then I won't hold back."

In order to maximize his output, he had already thought of a rather unscrupulous method.

Without any hesitation,

Su Yan used the Talent [Elemental Conversion] on the asura sword again, but this time the target was the exclusive weapon skill, Asura Slash.

The damage originally caused by Asura Slash was 100 (+300% Attack) physical damage.

Su Yan expanded his thinking a bit, and it became... [100 (+300% Attack) → 100 (+300% HP)]

Confirmed and certain!

Buzz!

A magnificent brilliant light erupted from the blade once more.

Elemental Conversion successful!

[Asura Slash]: This skill deals 100 (+300% HP) physical damage to all enemies within a 50-meter radius... Without a doubt, HP is the highest among all attributes.

According to what Su Yan knew, the top experts of the Human Race had HP measured in the tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Even for ordinary high-level players, their HP was usually dozens of times higher than their Attack or magic power.

Therefore, after converting the attack damage into HP-based damage,

for now, the limit damage Su Yan's Asura Slash could deal had become more than ten times the normal damage!

"I'm a damn Genius!"

Next, Su Yan applied the same logic to other things.

He extended his 'wicked hands' towards the two exclusive skills of the God's Wrath Mage.

Thus, the Judgment skill became:

[Judgment LV1]: Applies a Judgment Mark regardless of the target's Rank. If the target's (luck) is lower than your own, the Judgment succeeds.

The target enters a weakened state for 5 seconds, taking 500 (+70% HP) Magic Damage... Here,

Su Yan not only changed the percentage magic power damage to percentage HP damage,

but also changed the Judgment condition from the original [Intelligence] to [luck].

"My luck is already at the Max limit. I don't believe anyone will have higher luck than me."

Su Yan grinned and muttered to himself.

In other words, this Judgment condition had become a 100% success rate.

Yes, it was just that shameless.

Similarly, the Sanction skill was also changed to HP-based damage.

800 (+200% HP) + 1000 (+300% HP)... Su Yan calculated carefully.

With his current 5,450 HP, plus the 50% damage bonus against the Demon Race,

a single Sanction skill could deal a terrifying 43,575 damage at most!

And if it landed a critical hit, the damage would double.

It could reach nearly 100,000 damage!

Looking across the novice maps, who could possibly withstand that?

"This should be enough to clear the dungeon."

Su Yan clapped his hands, a wicked smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.

This way,

his Attack and magic power attributes became purely for show.

Whether Warrior or Mage, from now on, he just needed to focus on stacking HP!

The thicker the health bar, the higher the damage.

At the same time, the benefit of having more HP was that he wouldn't die easily.

After all, staying alive is the greatest output... Wolf King Valley.

After spending over two hours, Su Yan finally arrived at the dungeon entrance, looking travel-worn.

"Level 50 dungeon recruiting! Team already has a Knight and Priest, 4=1, need a DPS class!"

"Dungeon speed-clear team, entire team has A-Rank combat Talents, need an A-Rank or higher Fire-type DPS to aim for the clear rankings. No trash allowed!"

At this moment, the dungeon entrance was crowded with players, all of whom were Level 50.

They gathered in small groups, their shouts rising and falling as they all tried to recruit members.

As Su Yan arrived, everyone's gaze focused on him.

His Aura was very strong, and the surrounding players automatically made a path for him.

Su Yan walked quickly to the dungeon entrance.

A team had just shouted about aiming for the clear rankings, which piqued his interest.

In the dungeons of the Land of Divine Punishment, besides basic rewards after clearing,

there was also a clear time settlement.

The shorter the time, the better the extra rewards.

And once you entered the top 500, you would receive very generous ranking rewards.

Of course, entering these rankings was extremely difficult.

Someone on the forums had once compiled statistics.

The conclusion was that for any team on the leaderboard, the average Talent was at least S-Rank.

Furthermore, the class composition and team coordination had to be completely maximized.

Every year after Awakening Day, new chosen ones would emerge globally to challenge this leaderboard.

This year would naturally be no exception.

However, those chosen ones of this year

had only just awakened their Talents. Today was their first time entering the Land of Divine Punishment, and they were still leveling up and killing mobs in the novice villages.

With the intention of admiring the experts,

after speaking with the dungeon NPC, Su Yan opened the historical clear rankings.

He saw it displayed:

1st Place: Mo Wen's Team, Time: 5 minutes 35 seconds;

Clear Evaluation: SSS-Rank.

2nd Place: Ye Zhibai's Team, Time: 5 minutes 50 seconds;

Clear Evaluation: SSS-Rank.

3rd Place: Dugu's Team, Time: 7 minutes 17 seconds;

Clear Evaluation: SSS-Rank.

4th Place: Li Yueqing's Team, Time: 8 minutes 36 seconds;

Clear Evaluation: SSS-Rank.

5th Place: Shen Xiu's Team, Time: 20 minutes 27 seconds;

Clear Evaluation: SS-Rank... 10th Place: Xue Wuyue's Team, Time: 28 minutes 09 seconds;

Clear Evaluation: SS-Rank... "As expected, the big shots are truly big shots. The top ten are basically dominated by the Human Emperor and War God teams."

Su Yan only took one look before sighing in admiration.

It was evident that the top four spots were firmly held by teams led by the four Human Emperors.

Compared to the 5th place, they were ahead by more than ten minutes.

This was the most realistic manifestation of the gap between SSS-Rank Talents and SS-Rank Talents!

Then,

Su Yan roughly browsed through the rankings.

He found that compared to the fierce competition in the lower positions,

the top ten—no, the top one hundred rankings—

hadn't changed for over fifty years, except for the tenth-place team, Xue Wuyue.

But this wasn't to say the newcomers weren't good, but rather that these Seniors from the early days were simply too much of a Prodigy.

These people, from the rookie players they once were, had long since grown into the Human Race's top combat power.

"It's precisely because these people are fighting on the front lines that we can resist the Demon Race invasion."

Su Yan murmured, his expression becoming uncharacteristically serious and respectful.

There was one more thing that caught his attention.

On this list, there were no records of solo clears yet.

Or rather, people had cleared it solo, but because their results weren't ideal, they ultimately couldn't enter this historical ranking.

"I wonder if I can make the list. Anyway, I'll try clearing it once first, just for practice."

Thinking this, Su Yan's eyes were full of anticipation, eager to try.

"Please note, your Rank is far lower than the dungeon Rank, and your team has fewer than 5 people. Are you sure you want to enter Wolf King Valley?"

Su Yan chose without hesitation: "Confirm!"

...At this moment, the players at the dungeon entrance finally noticed Su Yan's Rank.

They were all stunned.

"Holy crap, am I seeing this right? This Demon Slayer is only Level 1!"

"666! Does anyone know how he even got here?"

"What does he want to do? He's not thinking of clearing the dungeon, is he?"

"Stop joking, what dungeon can a Level 1 clear?"

Amidst the flurry of discussions, Su Yan, who was standing in front of the dungeon NPC, suddenly turned into a streak of white light and disappeared from the spot.

Clang—

The greatsword in the hand of a nearby warrior fell to the ground as he stared wide-eyed and exclaimed:

"Shit, he... he went in!!"
