99: Chapter 99 First Reincarnation Trial!

"Teacher, please explain."

Lu Yin narrowed his eyes and said.

Chen Yuan stood up and took a sip of wine. "Besides leveling up to increase attributes, Professionals..."

"Some Professionals possess skills that provide additional attribute boosts."

"Some depend on the number of monsters killed, while others depend on the number of times a skill is used."

"There is also grinding special Dungeons and using special items."

"I see that your attributes haven't received any other boosts. You likely don't have such a skill, nor have you used any attribute-boosting items."

"How about this? Before your Class Advancement, I'll take you to grind some attributes first."

"Since you have the limit-breaking necklace, you can enter that Level 45 special Dungeon."

"Although it's a bit of a waste of time, laying a good foundation is more important than anything else."

Listening to Chen Yuan's explanation, Lu Yin fell into thought.

If he reached Level 30 without advancing his class and continued running Dungeons, his experience would get stuck at 99.9% once it was full.

He could only continue to level up once the Class Advancement was completed.

Originally, Lu Yin thought it didn't matter when he boosted his extra attributes.

Now, it seemed that wasn't the case.

"Um... Teacher, I want to know, what is the attribute limit before the first advancement?"

"3,000," Chen Yuan replied. "Excluding equipment values, the four main attributes can be increased to a maximum of 3,000 points before the first advancement."

After receiving the reply, Lu Yin did a quick calculation and then looked at his soul of death.

[soul of death: ordinary-grade: 17, high-grade: 1,123, rare-grade: 114]

He possessed the Soul Devouring skill. Absorbing five ordinary-grade souls of death would increase all his attributes by one point.

A single high-grade soul of death could increase all attributes by three points.

In short, the higher the grade of the soul of death, the more his attributes would increase.

If Lu Yin wanted to push his attributes to the limit, 40 high-grade souls of death would be enough.

However, if he maxed out his attributes now, the difficulty of the Advancement Trial would increase.

Because as far as Lu Yin knew, the First Advancement Trial involved challenging a mirror image of oneself.

On Normal difficulty, the mirror image's attributes would be equal to one's own.

Most Professionals could pass this challenge easily.

After all, they possessed intelligence. While the mirror image had the same attributes, it lacked wisdom, making it essentially a free win.

But if one wanted to obtain a Rare Advancement Certificate, the mirror image's attributes would be doubled.

Such an increase could no longer be compensated for by intelligence alone.

It required a combination of combat techniques, understanding of one's own skills, and many other factors to have even a slight chance of winning.

As for God-level difficulty, the attributes would be tripled directly.

Even Mythic-level Professionals rarely managed to pass.

Lu Yin's goal was naturally the god-tier job change certificate.

Although the difficulty would be high, the rewards after the advancement were also quite astonishing.

While his own personal combat power wasn't that important for his class, if he challenged the God-level difficulty with his current attributes...

The trial mirror image would have at most 1,800 attribute points, which, with the Constellation boost, would be 18,000 points.

But if he ate his fill and reached 3,000 now, the mirror image would have 9,000 attribute points, which would become 90,000 after the boost.

That gap wasn't just a small difference.

"Teacher, I have a way to increase my attributes. Please let me get the Advancement Certificate first."

Hearing Lu Yin's words, a flash of surprise crossed Chen Yuan's eyes.

"Oh? You have a way? Then why didn't you increase your attributes before?"

Lu Yin explained and informed Chen Yuan that he possessed the Soul Devouring skill.

Learning the truth, Chen Yuan immediately laughed.

"I see. This actually lowers the difficulty quite a bit for you. Let's go then."

As Chen Yuan finished speaking, Lu Yin felt an invisible energy lift his body.

In the next second, the scenery before him receded rapidly; he was already flying through the air.

For a powerhouse of Chen Yuan's level, being able to fly was nothing unusual.

A few minutes later, they landed in a corner of the Holy Hall Academy.

In front of them was a giant bronze door.

The surface was carved with complex runes, faintly emitting a ghostly blue light.

"This is the First Advancement Trial Ground of the Holy Hall Academy."

Chen Yuan pointed at the giant door. "There are three difficulties for the First Advancement Trial, which I assume you already know."

"The only thing I'll remind you is that if you fail the God-level difficulty the first time, you can only challenge the Rare difficulty next time."

Lu Yin nodded.

He was aware of this. Except for the Normal difficulty, the Rare and God-level difficulties only offered one chance.

Once you failed, you could never obtain a certificate of that level again.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yin removed all his equipment.

After entering the trial, one could not use items except for their own skills.

Therefore, many trial-takers would remove their armor before entering.

Lowering one's attributes was, in a sense, lowering the difficulty of the trial.

Having done this, Lu Yin stepped toward the giant bronze door.

[First Advancement Trial, God-level difficulty. Do you choose to proceed?]

"Yes."

Following Lu Yin's choice, a golden light flashed.

When he opened his eyes again, he was in a massive circular arena.

Twelve stone pillars stood around the field, carved with the images of various mysterious creatures.

[First Advancement Trial (God-level difficulty) is about to begin.]

[Generating mirror image...]

A prompt sounded, and a figure slowly condensed in the center of the arena.

It was a person who looked exactly like Lu Yin.

The only difference was that the opponent's eyes held no emotion, only cold killing intent.

The moment it appeared, the mirror image raised its palm, and over two hundred pitch-black magic circles were branded onto the ground, from which Death Soldier with powerful auras crawled out.

This was Lu Yin's first time fighting himself. The overwhelming pressure of over two hundred Death Soldier coming at him was quite shocking.

Lu Yin also raised his hand at this moment, but just as he did, he was surprised to find something.

Within the Death Legion summoned by the mirror image, Yarberna, Kasa, and Lin Xiao were missing.

This made Lu Yin feel a surge of joy in his heart.

What was going on?

Could it be that this trial space could only replicate one intelligent being—himself?

If that were true, even if the opponent had three times his attributes, they wouldn't pose any threat to him.

Because in the current Death Legion, besides the three Demon Generals, there were no entities with attributes over a million.

In other words, he had three more combatants with over a million power than the trial mirror image.

These three combatants would purely crush the Death Legion summoned by the mirror image.

With this thought in mind, Lu Yin's will moved.

In addition to the regular Death Soldier, Yarberna and Kasa appeared on his left and right.

The Undying Sword Saint, Lin Xiao, also stood before Lu Yin with his sword held horizontally.

The mirror image opposite him didn't make any other moves, simply commanding the regular Death Soldier to launch an attack.

"As expected, the mirror image cannot summon these three independent existences with intelligence."

This scene caused a look of pleasant surprise to appear on Lu Yin's face.

He had originally thought he would need to put in a lot of effort for the God-level trial, but he hadn't expected to pass it so easily in this manner.
