Daluo Buddha Hand, replacement skill

Dragon Gate Grottoes, First Level of the Underground Palace.

Lin Xuan collected the materials dropped on the ground into his Frost Domain.

Then he exited his Lich King Form.

Since entering the underground ancient city, his progression speed had greatly increased.

Mainly because here, the number of BOSSes was far higher than on the surface.

Of course, the requirements for each level were also increasing.

Since entering the First Level of the Underground Palace, the number of monsters that needed to be killed to enter the next level had doubled.

Fortunately, he was the only one here, so no one was competing with him for monsters.

His progression had been relatively smooth so far.

Currently, his Frost Domain contained tens of thousands of Golden Arhats and Peony Flower Fairies.

“I just need to kill one more ordinary Ram-Headed Monster BOSS to enter the Fourth Level of the Underground Palace.”

“But why has no one entered the ruins after so long?”

Lin Xuan had previously obtained a unique BOSS equipment, the Heart of the Zerg, from the Ant Nest dungeon at his school.

This equipment allowed him to share the vision of his summoned creatures.

Since entering the underground ancient city, he had periodically checked the situation at the entrance of the ruins through the vision of the Undead Buddha BOSS.

At the time, he felt quite pleased seeing those two BOSSes wipe out thousands of people.

But then, Lin Xuan gradually noticed something was off.

Because after that, he found that no one else had entered the ruins.

This was very illogical.

“Could it be that they were scared away?”

Lin Xuan thought about it and felt it was unlikely.

However, he couldn't figure out the reason, so he just put the matter out of his mind.

“Only the Fourth Level of the Underground Palace remains. I'll clear it quickly and then leave the ruins.”

Since entering the ruins, the high-experience monsters made him unable to stop.

His level was now approaching fifty-seven.

At this level, Lin Xuan felt he should be among the top new students.

“The Fourth Level contains Tiger-Head Monsters and Lotus Fairies.”

“These two are also monsters with good potential.”

Tiger-Head Monster, as the name suggests, is a monster with a tiger's head and a human body.

Its strength and speed growth are very high.

It is said that in the professional circle, as a strength-type pet, it can rank among the top three.

Of course, the Lotus Nymph is not bad either.

The Peony Flower Fairy on the First Level of the Underground Palace has a human upper body and a peony lower body, making her a semi-humanoid.

The Lotus Nymph is different; she is entirely humanoid.

The only way to distinguish a Lotus Nymph from a human is a petal on her earlobe.

Of course, it is precisely this point, similar to the cat ears of catgirls, that makes their unique features increase their beauty.

“I can capture a few to be maids.”

At Mingzhu University, ever since Lin Xuan learned from Bird Bro, who had recently moved into a villa, that credits could be used to rent school villas, he had been thinking of renting one himself.

After all, he now had Irena, who could transform into human form, which would make things more convenient.

Through shared vision, Lin Xuan observed for a while longer.

Seeing that the entrance to the ruins was still empty, he simply stopped paying attention.

He communicated with the World-Class BOSS Merman King, with whom he had a contract, in his mind, telling him to follow the buddha statue and sweep the First Level of the Underground Palace for leveling up.

Then, Lin Xuan mounted his gourd.

He began searching for a leader-level Ram-Headed Monster BOSS on the First Level of the Underground Palace.

Having a flying mount was convenient.

The ancient city buildings underground were generally not tall.

Lin Xuan quickly spotted a larger Ram-Headed Monster from his mount.

Even without a detection skill, the dense magic power emanating from its body clearly indicated it was a BOSS.

Lin Xuan didn't waste any time for the rest of the duration.

A few Splitting Mount Huas took it down directly.

Then, he used the extra teleportation talisman in his backpack to enter the Fourth Level of the Underground Palace.

The streets of the ancient city here seemed wider than the previous levels.

As soon as Lin Xuan appeared, he saw a few Tiger-Head Monsters sleeping soundly nearby.

Click, click—

Skeleton Soldierss were summoned.

Irena skillfully led Silly Cow, Crocodile Rekton, Frost Giant, and other contracted beasts into battle.

It is worth mentioning that during their time in the Dragon Gate Grottoes, their levels had greatly increased, almost all reaching above sixty.

Of course, it was a pity that only Irena and Crocodile Rekton unlocked new skills upon breaking through level sixty.

Irena was lucky; she unlocked a sword skill called Sword Qi Storm.

Crocodile Rekton's was an attack skill called Tyrant's Rampage.

“It seems that quality indeed affects the probability of pets unlocking new skills after level fifty.”

“I wonder if there’s a way to increase the potential of Silly Cow and Frost Giant.”

As the two earliest contracted beasts, Lin Xuan still had some affection for them.

But their mutated grade, coupled with their low intelligence, meant their strength was indeed starting to fall short.

“I remember there’s a pet slot in the credit exchange shop.”

“I’ll go back and check it out.”

The contracted beasts and Skeleton Soldierss were pushing forward.

Lin Xuan didn't rush to transform into the Lich King and absorb these monsters into his Frost Domain this time.

It was still early.

So far, he had been in the ruins for less than a day.

“Let’s check the skills.”

Lin Xuan decided to take this opportunity to change his skills.

He opened his panel.

It was his personal attributes, which he hadn't looked at carefully in a long time.

Ever since he switched his attribute points to strength on the surface to kill the buddha statue, Lin Xuan hadn't changed them back.

It was simply too violently satisfying to deal millions of damage in his normal form and tens of millions in his transformed state with a single palm strike.

[Skill Points: 3]

[Skills: Summon Undead Lv7, Magic Barrier Lv2, Undead Contract Lv6, Corpse Explosion Lv2, Undead Rebirth LV2, Flash LV1, Soul Fire LV2, Grasp of Death LV2, Soul Void… ]

After level one hundred, professionals would face the same situation as pets after level fifty.

That is, they would no longer unlock skills one hundred percent every ten levels.

Even the professional's skill slots would no longer be one hundred percent.

Therefore, the skills learned before level one hundred were crucial.

Lin Xuan was quite satisfied with the skills he had learned.

He had a good number of skills, and each one was useful.

Of course, currently, Magic Barrier felt a bit weak.

Ignoring the skill information for now, Lin Xuan switched to his backpack.

He planned to take stock of the skill books he had obtained from killing various monsters along the way, to see if there were any suitable for him.

After all, this was a ruin.

The resources inside were rarely bad.

[Skill: Raging Waves]

[Effect: After casting, a water vortex forms around the target, dealing high magic damage!]

-

[Skill: Scorched Gold Gravel]

[Effect: After casting, a magic circle capable of summoning small meteorites forms around the target, dealing high magic damage and stun effect to targets within the circle!]

-

[Skill: Peony Bloom]

[Effect: After casting… ]

-

[Skill: Great Buddha Hand]

[Effect: Can obtain different attack forms based on different amplification attributes… ]

-

“Great Buddha Hand!”

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up; this was a good drop!

Before coming here, he had researched a lot of information about the ruins.

He had some understanding of the top-tier resources in the Dragon Gate Grottoes.

Among the skill books, this Great Buddha Hand was the most top-tier!

“Three attributes, corresponding to three attack forms.”

“This skill book is simply made for me.”

Lin Xuan chuckled.

He opened his backpack and took out a skill forgetting Magic Card.

He chose to forget the skill, Magic Barrier.

[You have forgotten the skill Magic Barrier, returning 2 skill points.]

[Skill forgotten, skill slot vacant!]

“It even returns skill points!”

“Not bad, not bad.”

Lin Xuan nodded and used the skill book from his backpack.

[You have mastered the skill Great Buddha… ]

(Overtime today, a bit tired. The second chapter will be posted during the day.)
