49: Chapter 49: Level 10, Full Experience, Advanced Quest Difficulty

[Fury Blood Slash (Legendary)]: Rank 1. When the target HP falls below 30%, you will attempt to execute the target, dealing (300% * Attack) damage to the target. Once the target is killed, you can obtain the [Fury Blood] effect, +20% damage for 1 minute.

Consumption: 200 Mana Points.

Cooldown: 30 seconds.

Lu Yang slightly raised his eyebrows. A powerful attack with a 300% bonus every 30 seconds, and if he successfully executed the target, he could additionally gain a 20% damage bonus.

This is still pretty good.

Legendary-tier skills truly have the prestige of a legendary tier.

However, as Lu Yang mastered more and more skills now, he discovered a very serious problem.

Is not the mana consumption of this legendary skill way too high?!

The maximum mana pool of Lu Yang was only a mere hundred-plus points.

Even with full mana, he could not even use Fury Blood Slash once!

This was awkward.

Did he have to allocate attribute points into Intelligence to increase his mana pool?

Or go get some equipment that adds Intelligence?

This is obviously unrealistic; the benefit of Intelligence for a Warrior is too low.

He could only wait until after advancing to talk about it.

After advancing, the fixed attribute points gained per Rank up would also increase.

By then, the Intelligence attribute will also increase much faster.

It will not be long before he should be able to meet the conditions for using the skill.

This should also be considered an invisible restriction on low-tier professionals using high-tier skills, right?

After all, legendary skills are inherently of relatively high quality, so higher mana consumption is also reasonable.

If a lower-Rank professional could casually use this kind of high-quality skill, that would be strange.

Fortunately, for Lu Yang, skills were completely just the icing on the cake.

Did he, Lu, rely on legendary skills to get to where he is now?

Definitely not; what he relied on was his full set of Soul Talents!

Besides these three pieces of equipment and a skill book, this Skull-Breaker also dropped a key.

A crudely made iron key with the same patterns carved on its handle as those on the steel gate.

Obviously, this key was for opening the steel gate behind the dueling arena.

Lu Yang walked over and inserted the key into the lock. The heavy steel gate emitted a muffled roar and slowly slid open to both sides.

Behind the door was a passage polished quite flat by Goblins.

The passage was square, wide enough for four or five people to walk side by side. The ground and walls were carved rock; although rough, they were much more regular than the natural caves outside.

The passage extended downwards all the way with a small slope, but its length seemed endless at a glance.

Torches were inserted into the wall at regular intervals, their flames flickering slightly in the airflow, casting mottled light and shadow across the passage.

With his dual halos activated, Lu Yang swaggered straight down just like that.

Shen Qingci and the other three followed behind Lu Yang with carefree expressions.

If it were only themselves, they would definitely have made Zhu Tongchen stealth over first to check out the situation.

However, with a freak like Lu Yang around, what did they have to worry about?

They only hoped that the so-called Goblin King would have a special damage-nullification mechanism just like Skull-Breaker.

Otherwise, that guy might not even hold out until they walked up to him.

Not long after they walked, a roaring sound echoed from the end of the passage.

Immediately afterwards, System prompts began to flood the screen frantically.

Various Goblin monsters died under the damage of the dual halos, dropping a wide variety of items.

These monsters were uniformly Rank 10, and among them were many bosses, yielding quite generous experience values.

Almost instantly, the experience value of Lu Yang increased by a large margin.

Originally, he was still about 10% away from full experience.

Following this wave, his experience directly reached the limit!

At Rank 10 with max experience, he could now undertake advancement quests!

Lu Yang could not help feeling pleasantly surprised in his heart.

He did not expect that there would be so many monsters in this Goblin Lair, and the experience would be so generous!

Before even finishing the dungeon raid, his experience was already full.

As he walked, Lu Yang opened his panel to check.

Behind his Rank, an experience bar was displayed.

Now the experience bar was completely filled, and the previously dimmed [Advancement] button lit up at this moment.

He clicked the [Advancement] button, and the next moment, the interface on the panel changed.

[Advancement Difficulty Selection:]

[1. Normal]

[2. Elite]

[3. Boss]

[4. Hero]

[5. Lord]

[6. Emperor]

[7. Demigod]

[8. Deity]

There were a total of eight difficulty choices.

Lu Yang had already learned the corresponding knowledge of advancement quests from the professionals at school before.

Through thousands of years of accumulated professional advancement experience, the Blue Star Alliance had naturally summarized a systematic set of advancement knowledge.

After choosing the advancement difficulty, advancement quests of the corresponding difficulty would be randomly generated.

The specific content of these advancement quests was completely random.

Some quests were very simple, which was simply soloing a digitized monster corresponding to the template.

Other quests were extremely complex with long procedures, even requiring a huge amount of time and traveling across multiple planets to complete.

Once the advancement quest of the corresponding difficulty was completed, the attribute bonuses after advancement would be tied to the advancement difficulty, and the professional would also obtain the corresponding template.

Therefore, after each advancement, the strength of the professional would receive a massive boost.

The combat power gap between professionals of every tier was worlds apart!

Lu Yang glanced at the various quest difficulties, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not make a choice right now.

The resources given to him by the Alliance had not even arrived yet.

He planned to get his hands on the resources first before talking.

Shen Qingci had always been paying attention to Lu Yang. Seeing through the party panel that the experience of Lu Yang had actually reached the limit, she immediately exclaimed, "Lu Yang, your experience is already full?"

Her voice was exceptionally clear in the quiet passage. Rebecca, Lance, and Zhu Tongchen turned their heads to look over at the same time.

They widened their eyes and looked at Lu Yang, their eyes filled with shock.

The small round face of Lance was full of disbelief. "Full experience just like that?! Brother Lu, do not you think you are way too fast? We only awakened two days ago!"

Hearing the words of Lance, the face of Lu Yang inevitably darkened.

"What do you mean too fast? I am not fast!"

Lance was startled, and then immediately reacted.

He quickly chuckled and said, "My fault, my fault! My Brother Lu is not fast!"

Zhu Tongchen on the side also twitched the corner of his mouth, rarely revealing a subtle smile on his consistently calm face.

Rebecca and Shen Qingci both blushed slightly.

The internet of this era was naturally quite developed; even if they had not eaten pork, had they never seen a pig run?

Hearing the words of Lu Yang, they instantly understood the meaning of Lu Yang.

Rebecca crossed her arms, glanced sideways at Lance, and sneered, "Little fatty, you really are wretched!"

Shen Qingci nodded repeatedly, her pure and pretty face filled with anger. "That is right! Lance, you are too wretched!"

Lance: "?????"

His mind was full of question marks, and his expression was somewhat blank.

Him?

Wretched?

...Was it not Brother Lu who said it first?

Why was Brother Lu not wretched, but him??

Lance felt that he was even more wronged than Dou E from ancient times!

Lu Yang gave a dry cough, pretending it had nothing to do with him, and naturally changed the subject. "It is indeed full experience. This dungeon gives quite a bit of experience. You guys are also Rank 10 now, right?"

Party experience was evenly split.

The experience bar for Rank 10 was the sum of all experience from Rank 1 to Rank 9.

Since Lu Yang went directly from the original Rank 9 to Rank 10 max experience, there was no reason Shen Qingci and the others could not also reach Rank 10.

Hearing the words of Lu Yang, the four of Lance immediately wore smiles on their faces.

Zhu Tongchen nodded, his tone carrying gratitude. "Thanks to Brother Lu! I am already Rank 10."

Lance also chuckled happily, "I did not expect that as a healer-type professional, I would level up so fast!"

Afterwards, his expression gained a bit of distress. "However, the Rank 10 experience bar is so huge; wanting to Rank up will probably take a few more days."

Rebecca and Shen Qingci looked at each other, a trace of a smile lingering in the depths of their eyes.

The two of them teaming up to grind dungeons had already fast enough leveling speed among the same Rank.

Although they could not compare to Lu Yang, they were still much stronger than average professionals!

Perhaps in just a few days, they would also need to consider advancement quests!
