60: Trigger a desert adventure!

Two incidents broke out in Jiangnan City yesterday.

First, Jiang Yao, a student at Imperial Capital University, used the forbidden technique Talent Scourge in an attempt to abolish the S-rank Combat Talent of Su Yan from Jiangnan No. 2 High School.

After the matter was exposed and his Family was wiped out, a War King Rank Master from the Anti-Alliance Organization raided the school that same night, once again launching a pursuit to kill Su Yan.

These two incidents intensified online, attracting the high attention of the Demon Slaying Institute headquarters in the Imperial Capital.

Consequently.

The Demon Slaying Institute immediately issued a Level 1 war order.

They would indefinitely conduct investigations and crackdowns on Anti-Alliance Organization hideouts nationwide, with the goal of completely eradicating these parasites of the Human Race.

At the same time, to guard against the potentially impending Talent War.

The Demon Slaying Institute required all regions to strengthen protection for schools and public link crystal locations.

They also dispatched a group of experts led by Lin Nan from the headquarters to the Land of Divine Punishment Novice Map to patrol and maintain vigilance 24 hours a day, day and night.

...

Jiangnan No. 2 High School, Top Scholar Class.

After handing out Su Yan's prizes, the Old Principal distributed the prizes from yesterday afternoon's practical exercise—the Growth Gift Package—as well as the weekly resource supplies for the Top Scholar Class.

This immediately caused all the students to cheer.

After all, compared to the unattainable super prizes Su Yan just received, these rewards from the school seemed the most tangible in everyone's eyes.

The Growth Gift Package included: one random Level 20 B-Rank weapon or piece of equipment, and 2 Teleportation Scrolls.

The Top Scholar Class weekly resource supplies included 3,500 gold coins, 1 Teleportation Scroll, and one set each of health and mana potions.

This year, to help Su Yan sprint towards becoming the provincial top scholar, Jiangnan No. 2 High School had truly given its all.

They went all in!

"Alright, I won't disturb you any further; hurry up and go level up."

After saying this, the Old Principal moved a stool to the classroom door, acting as a gatekeeper.

Immediately, Su Yan declined the party invitations from his classmates and impatiently reached out to touch the link crystal.

Whoosh!

His consciousness flew away.

The next moment, Su Yan's figure appeared in front of the Forest Kingdom boundary wall.

At this time, the boundary wall had already shattered, and the path to the next map had become unobstructed.

"Let me try the Sky Riding Technique first!"

Su Yan had long been itching to try it, so he quickly walked to a flat area and used the skill Sky Riding Technique.

Hum!

In an instant, a lifting force danced wildly beneath him, and the Demon Slayer's figure immediately soared into the air, shooting straight towards the clouds.

"Holy crap, I'm flying so high!"

In just a few seconds, Su Yan had appeared at an altitude of ten thousand feet.

Surrounded by a sea of clouds, the golden morning sunlight shone from afar, resembling a fantasy realm.

This exhilarating feeling was unprecedented. After adapting slightly, Su Yan spread his form and flew across the border of the Forest Kingdom.

The speed was as fast as lightning!

Above the dome, the Demon Slayer's figure, vanishing in the blink of an eye, left behind a long trail of flames.

In the air a thousand meters high, several players who were traveling using flight skills looked up and saw this scene, all of them clicking their tongues in envy.

"Hiss, which War King big shot has come to our Forest Kingdom?"

"It must be an expert from the Demon Slaying Institute, right? I heard the Anti-Alliance Organization has been too arrogant lately, so many experts have been sent to patrol in the Divine Punishment area."

"So cool, I want to become a Demon Slaying Institute expert in the future too!"

...

Flying over the Forest Kingdom, Su Yan officially entered the new map—the Endless Desert.

The maximum Rank of this map is 500.

According to textbooks, the Endless Desert is just as its name implies, composed entirely of desert.

After the Human Race fully withdrew from the Novice Map, they once briefly stationed themselves here with the help of their allies, the elf clan, and built Sand Sea City.

However, the desert overlords, the lizard clan, allied with an army of sand worms and launched a fierce attack on Sand Sea City. The human garrison was ultimately unable to resist and was forced to withdraw from the Endless Desert once again.

"It seems that whether in reality or in the Divine Punishment area, the Human Race has it pretty rough."

Su Yan grumbled like this, facing the swirling yellow sand, and flew rapidly towards the main city, Sand Sea City.

Before this, in the Divine Punishment area, he had wasted most of his time traveling. But now with the Sky Riding Technique, his travel speed was maxed out.

In just a few minutes, Su Yan arrived above Sand Sea City.

Bang!

Like a cannonball landing in the city, Su Yan rushed to the Class Advancement location before being recognized by the surrounding players.

The God's Wrath Mage can now undergo the second Class Advancement!

Soon, Su Yan arrived at the Class Advancement location. There were no NPCs here; everything required the player to operate it themselves.

He was very familiar with this and directly accepted the Class Advancement quest.

"Class Advancement quest successfully accepted!"

After accepting the quest, Su Yan quickly checked the Materials required for the Class Advancement quest. He immediately wanted to curse.

It was actually twice as much as the first Class Advancement, requiring 10 SSS-Rank rare Materials!

These Materials cost at least 1 million gold coins each at the Auction House. Furthermore, Blue Sea Pearls and Dragon Scale Fragrant Powder weren't even for sale!

"Fortunately, I, Su, have a solid foundation; I still have plenty of SSS-Rank Materials."

Su Yan searched through his inventory. A smile immediately appeared on his face.

I have to say, this treasure trove of Materials left behind by the hoarder is truly invincible.

He had all 10 of the SSS-Rank rare Materials required for the Class Advancement quest!

"Awesome, I just saved over 10 million gold coins. Being able to get even the second Class Advancement for free, that's only me!"

Su Yan was instantly delighted.

In this way, the SSS-Rank Materials were easily resolved, and the only thing left for the Class Advancement quest was to kill a field BOSS.

"Let me see who the victim is."

He opened the quest log. Required BOSS to kill: Lizard Emperor. Rank: 255.

"Simple."

Su Yan grinned slightly and turned to leave the Class Advancement location.

Then, in front of several players, he used the Sky Riding Technique again.

Boom!

Amidst a sonic boom, his figure soared straight up and flew towards the Lizard Emperor's location.

Five minutes later. Deep in the desert, Su Yan stood tall and straight on the sea of sand.

The yellow sand in front of him suddenly exploded, forming a terrifying sandstorm that swept towards him.

And within the sandstorm, a lizardman over ten meters tall slowly appeared, wearing a crown and golden armor around his waist.

Like a mountain standing above Su Yan's head, his eyes radiated golden light.

"Tiny human, how dare you wake me from my slumber; prepare to face my wrath!"

The Lizard Emperor said his lines majestically and waved the huge staff in his hand forward.

Bang, bang, bang!

Countless cannonballs made of wind and sand descended from the sky, bombarding Su Yan.

The sea of sand immediately kicked up monstrous waves. Su Yan was like a small boat, yet he didn't move at all, letting the wind and sand cannonballs bombard him.

—It didn't hurt or itch at all.

"Are you done? It's my turn!"

Su Yan also waved his staff forward. A Fireball Spell instantly flew towards the Lizard Emperor.

"Hmph, a mere Fireball Spell, how dare you use it in front of me..."

The Lizard Emperor said mockingly. But before he could finish his sentence, with a bang, the Fireball Spell exploded inside the Lizard Emperor's massive body.

"Ah!!"

Immediately after, this shrill cry of pain rang out in the desert.

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

This Lizard Emperor, who had ruled the Endless Desert for two hundred years, saw his body rapidly disintegrate... and he perished!

"Done!"

Su Yan grinned faintly and made a move to return to Sand Sea City to turn in the quest.

He was already looking forward to how much the God's Wrath Mage's damage would increase after the second Class Advancement.

【Congratulations, you have triggered a desert adventure!】

【Do you see the desert storm ahead? Walk into it boldly, and there will be unexpected rewards!】
