2: Activate the system and unlock talents: Unlimited gold attributes!

Lu Chen was originally a corporate slave. Seeing a young girl fall into the water, he immediately dove in to save her.

The girl lived.

He died!

Being all alone in the world, Lu Chen had nothing to miss.

But when he opened his eyes again, what met his gaze was a world of crimson and gloom.

He was surrounded by all sorts of bizarre skeletons of various sizes, but they all emitted terrifying auras, like emperors among skeletons.

One skeleton, thirty meters tall, simply took a step, and Lu Chen fell apart.

Only then did Lu Chen realize that he was also a skeleton, though he was incredibly small compared to the others.

He was also too weak; the mere movements of the other skeletons would shatter his frame.

If he shattered a few more times, Lu Chen's consciousness would sink into darkness.

However, the necrotic energy in this world was so dense that he would often be resurrected by the extremely rich necrotic energy in less than three seconds after dying.

Thus, Lu Chen remained in a cycle of death and resurrection until—

“Ding~ Detected that the host's cumulative deaths have reached 100,000. System activated. Unsealing Talent: Infinite Golden Entries!”

Lu Chen immediately checked his panel:

【Name】: Lu Chen

【Race】: Little Skeleton

【Level】: Rank Zero (0%)

【Exclusive Talent】: Infinite Golden Entries

(Note: The host can obtain one Golden Entry every time their Rank increases. Golden Entries apply to the host themselves, and the host can freely choose to enable or disable them.)

(Current Golden Entries: 1)

【Entry Library】 Infinite Plunder (Enabled/Disabled)

(Infinite Plunder: When you kill any creature, there is a chance to plunder some of the opponent's attributes, skills, or talents.)

After reading the panel, Lu Chen lamented that while the System was indeed Heaven-Defying, it was practically useless to him right now.

There wasn't a single creature in this world he could successfully kill; instead, he cycled through death and resurrection every day.

One day, Lu Chen discovered a purple-gold light pillar several miles away that pierced through the heavens and earth. No powerful creatures dared to stay there; it was paradise!

Spending a hundred years in the cycle of death and resurrection, Lu Chen finally walked into the purple-gold light pillar, finally escaping the days of dying over and over.

As time passed, his thoughts almost fell into Chaos.

Until—

“Contract!”

“Are you willing to follow my summons, fight alongside me, and share life and death?”

In Lu Chen's hollow eye sockets, the pea-sized flames suddenly turned crimson.

“I am willing!”

“Hahaha!”

“Finally... I can finally leave this damn hellhole!”

...Meanwhile.

Since Ning Xiwei opened the spirit contracting channel, two hours had quietly passed.

The crowd in the square gradually lost patience, and the sound of discussion grew louder.

“It never takes other Spirit Contractors more than an hour to complete a contract. Why is this Ning Xiwei taking so long?”

“You say that as if you've seen many Spirit Contractors!”

“Stop arguing. Don't you see the nobles on the VIP stand haven't said a word?”

The discussions in the square reached the ears of the instructors from the recruitment offices of the three great supreme academies.

They couldn't help but ask the steady old man from Dragon Academy, Guo Yucheng, “Instructor Guo, could something have gone wrong with Student Ning's contracting ceremony?”

“Have you ever heard of a Spirit Contractor failing their contract?”

“Never.”

“Since you haven't, then why hasn't the ceremony ended?”

“Student Ning is still choosing her spirit!”

Guo Yucheng nodded with a smile and praised, “For Student Ning to hold out for two hours in the Necrotic Abyss purely by her will, this persevering willpower is definitely the best of the entire younger generation!”

After speaking, Guo Yucheng looked at Ning Xiwei, whose brows were tightly furrowed, and grew even more expectant. What kind of legendary creature would this student with amazing willpower contract from the Necrotic Abyss?

At this moment, everyone fell silent.

They knew they were about to witness a living legend!

Swish!

Suddenly, the crimson abyss seemed to be ignited!

In an instant, it shrank into a small black dot, then suddenly bloomed into a purple-gold light pillar!

The purple-gold light pillar pierced through the heavens and earth!

Such a phenomenon could likely be clearly seen for a hundred miles around.

“Purple-gold, it's a purple-gold light pillar!”

“Look at Ning Xiwei, she's bathed in the purple-gold light, looking like a supreme deity!”

“Ah, my legs are so weak, what do I do!”

“I'll kneel first out of respect.”

The crowd in the square was in an uproar.

“Incredible, incredible!”

The old man Guo Yucheng stood up in shock again!

“It's actually purple-gold!”

“That legend...”

The instructors from the other Supreme Academies' recruitment offices felt their shocked gazes turn into sudden awe.

They recalled what that transcendent powerhouse had once said:

In those legendary summoning worlds, the most noble color is purple-gold.

Inviolable, holding the power of life and death!

And the most noble purple-gold mentioned by that transcendent powerhouse was actually appearing right before their eyes!

How fortunate were they to witness this unprecedented spectacle!

The recruitment instructors of the three great supreme academies looked at each other, their eyes full of determination!

They must not let such a Genius enroll in another Supreme Academy.

Otherwise, the three great supreme academies would become just one!

Because a Supreme Academy without Ning Xiwei's enrollment would not be worthy of being called Supreme!

“Hello, Principal, I don't care what method you use, get to Chiyang City immediately, right now, and bring the only S+ contract!”

“Principal, the most noble purple-gold that the transcendent powerhouse spoke of has appeared. Come quickly, bring the S+ contract, and bring all of our academy's assets!”

“Old Zhou, we have to go all out this time. Without Student Ning, our Dragon Academy will definitely lose its Supreme status next year!”

The recruitment instructors all called their principals immediately.

In the face of the noble purple-gold, they even felt they weren't worthy to discuss enrollment terms with Ning Xiwei.

Staring at Ning Xiwei in mid-air as she opened her brilliant starlike eyes from within the purple-gold light pillar, they liked her more and more they looked, seeing an opportunity to instantly surpass the other two Supreme Academies!

They even had the chance to become the mentor of this extraordinary Genius!

Think about it, when someone asks what students you've taught, and you reply that one is just the Empire's number one powerhouse, how much prestige would that bring?

Their gazes toward Ning Xiwei became increasingly fervent!

Dozens of seconds after the purple-gold light pillar appeared, it also slowly dissipated.

Revealing the figures inside.

Everyone craned their necks, wanting to see what kind of legendary creature came with its own purple-gold radiance!

First was Ning Xiwei; though her pretty face was pale and the contracting light that originally wrapped around her had vanished, she still looked cold and elegant, making people feel pity.

Beside her was a small, greyish-white skeleton.

Huh?

A small, greyish-white skeleton?!

“Is... is this the legendary lifeform?”

“Why does it look exactly like an ordinary skeleton summoned by a Necromancer?”

“I don't get it. Could it be that legendary lifeforms are all so plain and simple?”
