171: Chapter 171 Thanks to my son, I, Wei Baichuan, have finally stood up!

The Heavenly Dao reward Zhang Jian obtained was also a passive talent bonus, called [Mental Deification].

Its effect was to increase the Spell defense provided by Mental Energy points, as well as slightly improve resistance to mental-type attacks.

In Zhang Jian's view, this reward had a very mediocre effect, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Instead, he let the others organize the loot and prepare to enter the next Rank Dungeon.

As for himself, he began to study the skill he had just upgraded: [Soul Leap].

"You have consumed 23.25 million Experience, exchanging it for 1 point of Mental Energy."

"You have consumed 23.25 million Experience, exchanging it for 1 point of Mental Energy."

"You have consumed..."

After exchanging 100 times in a row.

"You have consumed 46.5 million Experience, exchanging it for 1 point of Mental Energy."

The consumed Experience began to double, but Zhang Jian remained expressionless.

Another 100 points were exchanged.

"You have consumed 93 million Experience, exchanging it for 1 point of Mental Energy."

The consumption continued to double, but Zhang Jian showed no reaction.

"You have consumed..."

"You have consumed..."

Every time 100 points were exchanged, the consumed Experience doubled.

Even though the Experience required for Zhang Jian to level up was 10 times that of an ordinary Professional due to his entry talent, he had obtained so much Experience previously that he felt no pressure at all.

Until.

"You have consumed 604.5 million Experience, exchanging it for 1 point of Mental Energy."

He subconsciously chose to continue.

"The current Experience required for exchange has doubled; it requires 627.75 million Experience."

"Insufficient Experience, please try again later."

Zhang Jian finally snapped out of it.

He actually ran out of Experience?

He checked his panel.

His Mental Energy had increased by 2600 points compared to before.

There was still quite a distance to the exchange cap of 18,000 points.

However, the Experience currently on his panel was only a little over 400 million points.

With just a rough estimate, he calculated the cumulative consumption from just now.

A full 800 billion-plus Experience!

This number gave him a shock.

If this were anyone else, how could they possibly scrape together so much Experience?

Even if they were sitting on a mythical level skill, they could only watch helplessly.

The shortage of Experience also created a sense of crisis in his heart.

It seemed that even with the level-skipping bonus and the high skill amplification, it was still not enough in the face of such a mythical level skill that could change one's fate.

He remembered the entry he had triggered in the Dungeon earlier, which had met the upgrade conditions and could be improved by killing.

He only needed to kill ordinary monsters no less than 30 levels below his own to activate or even upgrade it.

He couldn't wait to start the upgrade.

He first entered the Level 65 Dungeon [Abyss Base] alone.

He wanted to see if he could trigger the corresponding permissions after achieving a Heavenly Dao-Grade clear, allowing him to farm it more times.

Unfortunately.

This time, he only activated [Myriad Manifestation Engraving].

After copying an epic-grade passive skill, he used the Dungeon Reset Scroll provided by Hai Mengen to reset [Abyss Base].

However.

This time, he didn't enter alone.

Instead, he had Wang Fei lead the team again to form a party.

This Dungeon was a large-scale Dungeon, and its scale was much larger than the previous [Abyss Core].

It could accommodate up to 20 people.

According to previous experience, if the number of people was below 80%, an additional rating bonus could be obtained.

Theoretically, he could take at least 15 people without affecting the Dungeon rating.

But after experiencing it these few times, everyone understood the difficulty of this kind of Dungeon.

Without the big guy [wind walker] to block damage and let them comfortably leech Experience, they would likely struggle to survive the moment they entered the Dungeon.

If anyone was seriously injured or accidentally died, not only would the Dungeon rating be affected, but it would also be irresponsible to the deceased.

For the sake of caution, Wang Fei decided to only fill the maximum capacity of 12 people that [wind walker] could carry.

Based on the original team, he selected Instructor Wang Weidong and Wei Baichuan.

Originally.

These two spots were prepared for Wei Baichuan and Yan Tieshan.

They were meant to let the fathers of Wei Donglai and Yan Han enjoy it together.

However, Yan Tieshan's level was as high as 58.

Although it was lower than the monsters in the Dungeon, it wasn't low enough.

Wei Baichuan's level was exactly 55, which was 10 levels lower than the average level.

According to Wang Fei and Zhang Jian's previous experience, they could still max out the Dungeon rating in this regard.

When Wang Fei led everyone into the Dungeon, although Yan Tieshan felt it was a pity, he didn't actually care too much in his heart.

He just waved his hand and joked, "Old Wei, when you come out of this Dungeon, let's see if you can get closer to my level!"

Although he said that, he was actually a bit dismissive.

In his view, although Zhang Jian was outstanding among Professionals of the same Rank and was the most top-tier existence, and even from what he heard from Yan Han, he could roughly understand that Zhang Jian's strength surpassed even those of them who were Second Job Change Professionals.

Although he was also a top-tier Professional, he could only feel inferior.

Bringing his own son to challenge a Dungeon above his level would certainly yield good results.

But to say that it could allow a high-level Professional like himself to have any earth-shattering gains, he certainly didn't believe it.

Therefore.

When everyone entered the Dungeon, and 10 minutes later, they appeared one after another.

Everyone had an expression of amazement.

He asked Wei Baichuan with some curiosity, "How was it, Old Wei, did you gain anything from grinding the Dungeon with the kids?"

The other party gave him a strange look.

Pfft!

He suddenly laughed out loud.

"You, oh you, your horizons are truly too narrow!"

"The 'kids' you speak of are all stronger than you."

"In fact, if it weren't for your son's halo, you wouldn't even be able to look up to them!"

Hearing the admiration in Wei Baichuan's tone for Zhang Jian and the entire team, Yan Tieshan became even more curious.

"What did you gain in the Dungeon? Why are you talking so strangely?"

Wei Baichuan, on the contrary, stopped talking.

He felt secretly delighted.

"You old geezer, you have no idea how incredibly satisfying it is to leech Experience!"

Although it was just a Nightmare-level difficulty Dungeon in Normal Mode earlier, relying on the thousands of monsters in the Dungeon, the gains still opened his eyes.

Especially.

In the few minutes when Zhang Jian changed the designated member of [Experience Torrent] to him, it was simply exhilarating.

Although it was only for a short while, his panel already had an extra 5 billion Experience!

And the Experience he currently needed to level up was only 77.88 million.

Never mind catching up to those few levels he was behind Yan Tieshan.

Even if he leveled up to 69 in one go to prepare for the Third Job Change, there would still be leftovers!

The epic-grade skill suitable for himself that he had spent a huge amount of money to buy a while ago could also be learned now.

He could even upgrade it directly to the max level in one go!

He felt that if he told anyone about such gains, Yan Tieshan would die of envy.

Just when he was about to play hard to get before starting to show off.

"Uncle Yan, are you rested? We're going into the Dungeon again!" Wang Fei came over to inform him.

In the Dungeon earlier, Zhang Jian, who had increased his Mental Energy, had greatly increased his control resistance.

Even without Ye Xun taking action, he was rarely hit by the BOSS's skills.

This allowed him to unleash his attacks for the vast majority of the time throughout the process.

From beginning to end, based on extreme slaughter, he naturally cleared the Dungeon easily and activated the Hell difficulty.

And listening to Wang Fei, it seemed they were going to clear the Hell difficulty of this level in one go as well!

Wei Baichuan immediately perked up.

"No need to rest, I'll be in position immediately!"

After saying that, he waved at Yan Tieshan.

"Old Yan, this is the time when our strengths are closest."

"When I come out of the Dungeon, we won't be people of the same world anymore!"

Watching the 12-person team activate the final Dungeon of this series again.

Not only was there no fear on their faces, but only anticipation.

Yan Tieshan's curiosity grew even stronger.

Judging by what Wei Baichuan meant, did he really latch onto a powerful backer?

But how thick of a backer would it need to be to achieve the kind of effect he was bragging about?

Yan Tieshan stood outside the Dungeon, frowning.

He couldn't quite figure it out.
