13: Old Man Chen drew the brilliant entry [Power of Divine Punishment]

Boom! Boom!

-543, -247, ...

Lucky Strike +2!

-543, -247, ...

-543, -247, ...

After three consecutive Lightning Spells, the two Skeleton Spearmen were reduced to critical health.

After a follow-up Lightning Chain, they collapsed.

Chen Beixuan expressed a hint of helplessness.

He was still thinking of showing off some skill, but he didn't expect to instantly kill them again.

"Ding! You killed [Elite Skeleton Spearman Lv10] above your level, gaining 246 (Elite 50% + Extra 200%) experience points!"

"Ding! You killed [Elite Skeleton Spearman Lv10] above your level, gaining..."

...

A beautiful green light shimmered where the skeletons fell.

Loot!

Chen Beixuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stepped forward to pick it up.

[Skeleton Necklace]: Level 10 Green Excellent

Effect 1: Magic Attack +20

Effect 2: Intelligence +7

------

"Tsk, still two levels short..."

He secretly sighed in regret and put it into his backpack for now.

He continued to wait for the next batch of elite skeletons...

...

Roma's face was full of doubt.

"Six more lightning bolts... What kind of talent is this, exactly?"

He wanted to check Chen Laotou's talent, but was restricted by the world's rules and couldn't.

Talent, as a player's most important ability, is also protected by the world before it fully develops.

Otherwise, various major forces would preemptively recruit those with excellent talents and eliminate potential threats.

Seeing that the Skeleton Spearmen couldn't do anything to Chen Laotou, Roma began to murmur to himself.

"Damn, he's not actually going to clear it, is he...?"

Just then.

Four more statues shattered on both sides of the corridor, and four Skeleton Spearmen emerged.

Roma became interested; four spearmen!

How will he deal with this?

...

Seeing the four spearmen.

Chen Beixuan's expression remained calm.

He positioned himself at the maximum casting range and immediately cast a skill!

"Lightning Spell!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

Three lightning bolts struck down suddenly!

This time, his luck was a bit worse, only triggering one Lucky Strike.

The Skeleton Spearmen swayed, then continued to steadily advance.

The creaking sound of their joints echoed through the hall, a bit eerie.

He retreated while casting, gradually lining up the skeletons.

"Lightning Chain!"

"Protective Flame!"

Purple lightning bounced back and forth, dealing dense damage.

Protective Flame provided high-frequency, low-amount burning damage, and the magic circle provided protection, just in case.

Once the five-second cooldown passed, the Skeleton Spearmen were already close.

"Lightning Spell!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three closest skeletons collapsed, scattering across the ground, and two lights glowed simultaneously.

"Ding! You killed [Elite Skeleton Spearman Lv10] above your level, gaining 246 (Extra 250%) experience points! Copper Coin +14!"

"Ding! You killed [Elite Skeleton Spearman Lv10] above your level, gaining..."

...

"Ding! Your level has increased to Level 9, gaining 3 free attribute points!"

"Ding! Skill - Lexical Entry Assignment talent activated, gaining the golden lexical entry [Life Steal]!"

[Life Steal]: Golden Quality

Effect Description: 20% of damage dealt is converted into health.

------

A flurry of notifications sounded, but Chen Beixuan didn't have time to check them.

The last skeleton was approaching!

The skeleton still had two-thirds of its health, and its bony hand gripped its long spear, swinging it horizontally with force!

Sweeping Thousands!

Bang—

The long spear actually hit the stone pillar!

Unbeknownst to him, Chen Beixuan was already standing next to the stone pillar!

"Just right..."

The corner of his mouth curved upward, and he began to kite the monster around the stone pillar.

When the skeleton moved left, he moved in the opposite direction, always keeping the stone pillar between them.

His boar-skin cloth boots provided him with 5 Agility, increasing his speed slightly.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kite so easily.

When the cooldown ended, the skeleton, without any surprise, fell to the ground, becoming a pile of white bones.

...

A hint of surprise, and even a touch of admiration, flashed in Roma's eyes, hidden in the darkness.

"Using the collision between skeletons to kite, and even using the environment to position himself..."

"His skill range control is also extremely precise, as seasoned as his age..."

His thoughts unknowingly shifted.

From initially hoping he would die, to now admiring and being curious.

At this point, retrieving the artifact was no longer important; he was more concerned with whether Chen Laotou could give him a big surprise and clear the dungeon!

Looking at the giant skeleton frame on the throne, Roma showed a meaningful smile.

"This final BOSS isn't that simple..."

...

The middle statue shattered again, still four of them.

The dungeon's setting seemed to only allow four skeletons to be summoned at a time, controlling the difficulty.

It made sense.

Elite monsters already had very high stats; if all statues awakened simultaneously, the dungeon would be impossible to clear.

He collected his thoughts.

With one experience under his belt, Chen Beixuan now seemed even more at ease.

In less than half a minute, all four Skeleton Spearmen were dealt with.

"Ding! You killed [Elite Skeleton Spearman Lv10] above your level, gaining 191 (Extra 150%) experience points! Copper Coin +14!"

"Ding! You killed [Elite Skeleton Spearman Lv10] above your level, gaining..."

...

"Ding! Your level has increased to Level 10, gaining 3 free attribute points!"

"Ding! Skill - Lexical Entry Assignment talent activated, gaining the unique brilliant lexical entry [Divine Punishment]!"

[Divine Punishment]: Brilliant Quality (Unique)

Effect Description: Skill damage type is converted to true damage, effective only for the assigned skill.

------

"Brilliant! True Damage!!"

Chen Beixuan's eyes went wide; he couldn't believe what was happening before him.

He actually managed to draw a brilliant quality lexical entry; this was something he never expected!

"If things keep going like this, I'm going to look useless..."

On the surface, he complained to the heavens, but the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than an AK.

"Heh, which skill should I give it to...?"

After much hesitation, he still decided to give it to Lightning Spell.

Lightning Spell, as his highest damage primary output skill, was undoubtedly the best choice.

He had also considered saving it, waiting to find a better skill to assign it to later.

But no matter how good something is, if it's not converted into combat power in time, it's as good as nothing.

Being practical and securing what's in hand is what truly matters.

Moreover, he still had to solo the BOSS, so he had to utilize all advantages.

"Assign all to Lightning Spell!"

Along with the Life Steal from before, all were assigned to Lightning Spell.

A brilliant light flashed, and the Lightning Spell icon even turned colorful, showcasing its uniqueness.

He put all his attribute points into Intelligence.

Then he equipped the Level 10 Skeleton Necklace.

His stats increased again!

At this moment, the last four Skeleton Spearmen slowly approached...

Chen Beixuan smiled confidently at the sight and raised his staff.

"Lightning Spell!"

Boom! Boom! Boom—

...
