Mutation, skills at full level!

“What, you said the Otherworld sent three Third-Tier Otherworld Demons?”

Divine Grace Cemetery, Central Military Tent.

While waiting for the Hangzhou army to arrive, Li Yunfei and the others had been deploying various military operations.

First, almost all the military forces from the Jianghai City Military Region were dispatched, bringing along magic cannons used for city defense.

Next, the military's life-skill professionals were sent to build military defensive fortifications at the edge of the black mist in the Divine Grace Cemetery.

Finally, they contacted the military's top combat forces, which were the Third-Tier professionals.

It had been nearly five hundred years since the Blue Star Great Cataclysm occurred. Although the current highest combat power globally consisted of two Fourth-Tier professionals over level 300.

But overall.

The global mainstream combat power was still Second-Tier.

The number of Third-Tier individuals was not large.

Therefore.

Upon learning that the Otherworld had dispatched a division's worth of troops.

Li Yunfei began contacting the Third-Tier combat forces of the Jianghai City Military Region.

As a super main city on the southeastern coast.

The Jianghai City Military Region had a total of ten Third-Tier combatants, but six of them needed to be stationed in the Dungeon long-term.

Two on the Fifth Floor of the Dungeon, and one each on the First to Fourth Level of the Underground Palace.

Currently, there were four available outside.

Normally, all of them could come to support the Divine Grace Cemetery.

However, the drastic changes in Sakura Country disrupted this plan.

The sea area near Jianghai City was currently in a state of chaos.

Otherworld Demons, fleeing professionals from Sakura Country, and sea monsters.

That place was almost a complete mess.

Now, three Third-Tier professionals had gone to support the sea area.

Currently, only one could be dispatched here!

“This… Teacher Li, the battle here might require your intervention.”

Li Yunfei looked at Li Ming, feeling a bit awkward.

Although he and Li Ming both shared the surname Li.

In reality, they not only had no blood relation, but they were also rivals in their early years, even love rivals...

Later, Li Ming stood out among their batch of professionals, while he entered the army to prove himself.

Now, after so many years, the early days of being rivals and love rivals had long been forgotten.

But asking the other party for help at this moment still felt a bit embarrassing.

“When did you become so hesitant in your actions?”

Li Ming smiled and pushed up his glasses frame on his nose, then continued:

“I’ve already notified the Ming University Vice Principal. The Vice Principal and two deans will come to support us.”

“As for Modu University, they are close to the sea, and have already departed to support the riots by the sea.”

“Haha, it’s been a while since I experienced such a large-scale battle, I’m a bit rusty.”

Li Yunfei chuckled awkwardly upon hearing this, feeling much more at ease.

“Thank you, all you universities, for this. Afterwards, I can apply to open up some Dungeon slots for all universities…”

...

Inside the Dungeon.

After Lin Xuan closed the First Level of the Underground Palace and informed Li Ming of his discovery through the ox horn.

He first checked the number of Otherworld Demons still remaining on the First Level of the Underground Palace.

Not too many, not too few.

Exactly twelve thousand people.

He could handle these Otherworld Demons.

However.

When closing the portal entrance to the Ninth Level of the Dungeon.

Lin Xuan discovered that quite a few Otherworld Demons had entered there again; the number was not as high as on the First Level of the Underground Palace, but there were still nearly five thousand.

The moment he saw the number of these Otherworld Demons.

Lin Xuan frowned.

Compared to the Otherworld Demons on the First Level of the Underground Palace, these Otherworld Demons worried him more.

At this stage.

The Otherworld Demons capable of entering here were all elites from the Otherworld.

Although no large red dots indicating Third-Tier Otherworld Demons appeared within the Ninth Level of the Underground Palace, five thousand were completely enough to kill a World-Class BOSS.

When he closed the portal just now.

He had discovered that those Otherworld Demons had already penetrated deep into the Ninth Level of the Underground Palace.

Looking again now.

The red dots within the Ninth Level of the Underground Palace were all gathered together, which proved they were currently killing the BOSS.

“Kill!”

A cold light flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes, and his consciousness returned to his main body.

The moment he entered the Fourth Floor of the Dungeon, he immediately summoned tens of thousands of Skeleton Soldierss to advance rapidly.

According to the rules.

After gaining control of the Dungeon, there was a thirty-minute buffer period.

If the opponent killed the World-Class BOSS on the Ninth Level of the Dungeon within these thirty minutes.

Then he would lose control of the Dungeon.

After all, according to Dungeon rules.

Blue Star and the Demonic Realm were different factions, and the Otherworld Demons on the Ninth Level of the Underground Palace belonged to the Moro Realm.

Once they obtained the core, they would resonate with the Otherworld Demons on the First Level of the Underground Palace and regain control of the Dungeon!

“No, it’s still too slow.”

Lin Xuan glanced at the Ninth Level of the Underground Palace, unable to see the battle situation there, but the red dots were gathering even closer.

This indicated that the opponent had begun to launch a full-scale offensive.

“It’s time to max out Summon Undead!”

Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he opened his panel.

After killing over nine thousand Otherworld Demons on the Fifth Floor of the Dungeon, he had obtained a total of thirty-seven skill points.

These skill points were originally intended to be allocated after he went out and bought a skill that would allow him to move underwater.

At this critical juncture, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated, directly spending ten skill points to max out Summon Undead.

【Skill points consumed × 10 successfully!】

【Skill: Summon Undead, has been upgraded to Level 10!】

【New unit unlocked — Skeleton Priest!】

【Description: Skeleton Priests are advanced units among undead creatures. They do not differentiate between specific unit types. Each priest possesses different buff and debuff skills!】

【Hint: Skill: Summon Undead is maxed out, corresponding Breakthrough Quest unlocked. Complete the Breakthrough Quest to significantly enhance skill effects!】

「Quest」: Skill: Summon Undead: Breakthrough

「Requirement」: Kill 100,000 monsters above Level 70, 100 Level 70 Lord-level BOSSes, 10 World-Class BOSSes.

「Breakthrough」: Complete quest requirements, consume 54 skill points, and skill breakthrough can be completed!

「Skill Breakthrough Effect」: All undead units automatically learn corresponding unit skills, randomly gaining beneficial effects that resonate with the professional…

“This Breakthrough Quest is truly outrageous!”

Lin Xuan didn't pay too much attention to it. The moment the skill upgrade was completed, he had already summoned Skeleton Priests and was rapidly advancing.

With the Skeleton Priests, the Skeleton Legion's strength had risen by another significant notch.

The skills of these Skeleton Priests encompassed almost all buff and debuff effects.

Although due to their low level, they couldn't strongly control the monsters on the Fourth Floor of the Dungeon.

However, effects like slow, poison, and resistance reduction could all be applied to the monsters.

And on the Skeleton Soldiers side, various attack speed, movement speed, and critical strike buffs made Lin Xuan's advance speed more than twice as fast as it was on the Sixth Floor of the Dungeon back then.

Of course, during this race against time, Lin Xuan wasn't idle either.

He had been constantly attacking and killing.

Soon.

Lin Xuan found the World-Class BOSS on the Fourth Floor of the Dungeon.

Similar to the Sixth Floor of the Dungeon.

The Fourth Floor of the Dungeon was a symmetrical space to it.

This was also a bear-type monster.

Lin Xuan didn't hesitate.

He cast a strong crowd control skill first, followed by the divine beast Jade Rabbit's Shining Carrot to deplete its health, and then Splitting Mount Hua.

After these three powerful attacks, all the undead creatures' attacks also poured down like a deluge.

Tens of thousands of skill attacks, each capable of triggering Lin Xuan's talent effect.

In almost three to five rounds, this monster was left with critical health.

Lin Xuan delivered the final blow.

However.

The moment he made the kill, two prompts appeared consecutively.

【The Moro Realm has taken control of the Fifth Floor of the Dungeon. Permissions have been changed and are now under the control of the Moro Realm!】

【Blue Star has taken control of the Fifth Floor of the Dungeon. Dungeon permissions have been changed and are now under the control of Blue Star!】

【You now possess the Dungeon Key and are the current Dungeon authority holder, gaining minor Dungeon permissions!】

【...】

“Only half a second difference, that’s good.”

Lin Xuan smiled, his consciousness probing into the virtual Dungeon, finding that the red dots on the Ninth Level of the Underground Palace and the First Level of the Underground Palace hadn't changed much, and he quickly entered the Third Floor of the Dungeon.

Next.

It was a race against time between him and those Otherworld Demons on the Ninth Level of the Underground Palace...
