50: Chapter 50: First Clearance of the Goblin's Lair, the Upper Limit of the Human Race's Four Attributes

The experience points required to level up during the novice stage are much fewer compared to professionals after obtaining a Rank.

But even so, under normal circumstances, reaching maximum experience at Level 10 during the novice stage still requires half a month or even about a month of continuous monster grinding.

However, Lu Yang's situation was rather special.

In the first welfare dungeon, he soloed the entire dungeon by himself and achieved the first clear.

It was equivalent to him devouring all the experience points of the entire dungeon by himself.

And now this Goblin Lair was an even larger super-sized dungeon, with tens of thousands of Goblin monsters inside.

Both of these dungeons were also of Nightmare difficulty, with even the weakest templates being elites, among which there were quite a few bosses and several hero-template Bosses.

The experience points of these monsters were also extremely high.

Under such a premise, Lu Yang was able to raise his Rank to maximum experience at Level 10 in just two days.

He even conveniently raised the Ranks of Shen Qingci and the other three to Level 10 along the way.

Unless other professionals possessed the same monster grinding efficiency as Lu Yang, wanting to achieve his leveling speed was practically impossible.

While the five of them were communicating, their footsteps did not stop either.

Walking another three hundred meters or so, the view suddenly opened up before them.

They walked out of the passage and arrived at a huge hall.

Unlike the natural rock caves of ordinary Goblin Lairs, this hall had been chiseled and polished.

The four walls were flat and sharply angled, the ground was paved with polished stone slabs, and the seams fit together seamlessly.

The hall was hundreds of meters across and over ten meters high. Thick brazier pillars were arranged along the edge areas, with the firelight flickering in the braziers. The orange-yellow light illuminated the entire hall brightly, reflecting even the textures of the dome's rocks clearly.

There were some stone tables and chairs inside the hall; compared to those dirty Goblin camps outside, this place could be described as clean and tidy.

Quite a bit of roasted meat was also placed on the stone tables, served using polished stone slabs as plates, and even some dark liquid remained in the stone cups beside them.

It seemed that a banquet was originally being held here, but unfortunately, all the guests had fallen to the ground.

The ground was covered with Goblin corpses everywhere.

Some lay prone on the stone tables, others slumped beside the chairs, with scorch marks from flame burning and white frost from freezing remaining on their bodies.

At the deepest part of the hall, a huge throne was placed.

The throne was grayish-black, its surface exuding a rough metallic luster, presumably smelted and cast from some kind of metal, with crooked tribal totem patterns engraved on the backrest.

At this moment, on the open space in front of the throne, a Goblin was kneeling on one knee.

Compared to normal Goblins, this Goblin had a relatively slender physique. Judging by the height of its kneeling on one knee, it should have exceeded 1.9 meters.

It wore a crude armor seemingly smelted from different metals, with armor plates of varying shades of color. On top of the two shoulder guards, a frost-white crystal core was embedded on the left, and a dark-red crystal core was embedded on the right.

The skin that the armor could not wrap around appeared dark green, with quite a few crisscrossing scars on it—some from sword cuts, some from arrow stabs, and some resembling traces of being torn apart by sharp claws and then healing, looking as though it had experienced quite a few fierce battles.

The most eye-catching part of this Goblin was that on top of its head grew a pair of dark-red horns curving backward, looking somewhat like a demon's horns.

At this moment, this Goblin was kneeling on one knee, propping up a scepter-warhammer about 1.8 meters long with its right hand.

The hammerhead of the warhammer was hollow, with gloomy green, chilling flames surging inside.

At this moment, the flames rolled, and the surging light formed a layer of gloomy green shield, wrapping it inside, struggling to resist the continuous erosion of Lu Yang's dual halos.

However, this shield had obviously reached its limit.

The light had dimmed to a nearly transparent degree, continuously emitting subtle buzzing sounds, as if it would be crushed at any moment.

Just a second later, the shield finally shattered, emitting a miserable scream as if emanating from a resentful spirit.

This Goblin's expression changed drastically, an unbelievable look of terror emerging in its eyes, and it exclaimed loudly: "What?! This is impossible!!"

The next moment, flames ignited on its body, and frost condensed again.

Two high-amount damages exceeding one thousand popped up from the top of the Goblin's head, taking away its last sliver of health.

As the Goblin's health disappeared, a trace of unwillingness and furious madness flashed in its eyes. With a roar, the double horns on top of its head burst out with dazzling dark-red light and subsequently shattered.

A torrential wave of dark-red, berserk energy formed a ring, spreading in all directions.

Wherever it passed, the stone slabs cracked and flipped up, and all the stone tables and chairs within a surrounding radius of a hundred meters were blasted into fragments.

The shockwave swept out carrying crushed stones and wood chips, carrying immense power.

It looked like a skill with very high damage.

Unfortunately, this skill was too far away from Lu Yang's party.

Lu Yang and the others could only feel a wave of hot wind blowing towards their faces, stirring the hems of their clothes and hair, and then there was nothing more.

That Goblin's huge body swayed slightly, and then heavily collapsed to the ground. The armor struck the stone slab, producing a dull echo.

Wisps of black smoke were still rising from the roots of the broken horns on top of its head, and those wide-open eyes had lost all vitality.

At the same time, continuous System announcement sounds rang out.

[Ding! You have killed the Goblin King · Blood Horn. Obtained: some experience, Blood Horn Crown (Legendary) * 1, Blood Horn Scepter (Legendary) * 1, Dual Crystal Core Shoulder Guard (Legendary) * 1, "Summon Goblin Champion (Legendary)" * 1.]

[Ding, you achieved the first clear of the Nightmare difficulty dungeon Goblin Lair. Obtained: Free Attribute Points * 80, Legendary Chest * 1.]

As the announcement sound ended, in front of them, space slowly distorted, and a dungeon exit subsequently emerged.

However, Shen Qingci and the others were not checking the dungeon exit at this moment; they looked at the first-clear rewards and were incomparably pleasantly surprised.

Shen Qingci clenched the staff in her hand, crossing her hands and pressing them against her chest, her pure and pretty face flushed with excitement: "The first-clear rewards are so bountiful! A full 80 Free Attribute Points! Oh my god!"

Rebecca also revealed an excited smile, brushing back her hair: "80 Free Attribute Points... If they are all added to stamina, matched with my Soul Talent, I can gain a full 1,600 extra health points! By then, I should be able to withstand all hero-template Bosses!"

Lance danced with joy even more, his small round face smiling so much that his eyes could hardly be seen: "Awesome! These first-clear rewards are too bountiful! I will add all of them to intelligence, and the effect of healing Spells will definitely increase several times over!"

Even Zhu Tongchen, who had always been calm, clenched his fists, swung them forcefully, and his face was full of a pleasantly surprised smile.

A full 80 Free Attribute Points—any rookie professional would feel excited upon seeing it.

Even Lu Yang was no exception.

His face was full of smiles.

With these 80 Free Attribute Points, his attacks became even stronger.

Without a second word, Lu Yang directly allocated the Free Attribute Points into strength.

Very quickly, strength reached 100 points, and the System prompt indicated that it had reached the upper limit of the current Rank, unable to continue increasing.

Regarding this, Lu Yang did not feel surprised.

After all, the human race was just an ordinary race in the Universe, not being uniquely endowed by nature like those powerful races.

When some powerful races were born, their four-dimensional attributes already exceeded one hundred points.

Some races had greater potential for each Rank, and their attribute limits were also higher.

The upper limit of human four-dimensional attributes during the novice stage was 100 points, which could be considered neither high nor low—falling short of the best, but better than the worst.

Not to mention far-off things, within the sphere of influence of the Blue Star Alliance, there were a few intelligent races whose attribute limits during the novice stage were only 50 points.

Of course, for ordinary professionals, things like attribute limits had nothing to do with them.

Normal professionals simply had no way to obtain too many Free Attribute Points during the novice stage, let alone elevate their own attributes to the upper limit.

This kind of restriction on attribute limits only had an impact on the Geniuses of a race.
