187: All the players in the server broke through the defense! Fusion of new skills!

“Hahahaha, this is great! It’s finally not Old Man Chen anymore!”

“Oh my god, so others can get dungeon first clears too? I thought only Old Man Chen could get them…”

“I’m new here. Aren’t first kills and first clears exclusive to Old Man Chen? Can others really get them? No way, no way!”

“Awesome! I don’t care who got it, as long as it’s not Old Man Chen, I’m happy! I’m definitely having a few drinks when I get offline!”

“Right, right, right! Refuse Old Man Chen’s monopoly, starting with me! When I go offline, I’m taking out the firecrackers I’ve treasured for years and setting them off! For no other reason than pure happiness!”

“Haha, do you think Old Man Chen will be so upset he wants to cry when he sees the server-wide announcement? He got three consecutive first clears, and the fourth one was stolen, hahahaha!”

“Hey, don’t even say it, don’t even say it! Just thinking that Old Man Chen might be upset makes me even happier, ah hahahaha!”

“……”

All the players on the server were as lively as if it were New Year’s.

This feeling was like firing the first shot against Old Man Chen’s monopoly, making all the players full of fighting spirit and highly excited!

Just as they were heatedly discussing whether to eat barbecue or hotpot after getting offline.

Suddenly, another server-wide announcement rang out!

Boom!

★ 『Server-Wide Announcement: Congratulations to player Old Man Chen for the first clear of the Level 80 hidden dungeon [Demon Realm Ancient Ruins]. This is hereby announced, and we hope all players will continue to strive for more!』

★ 『Server-Wide Announcement: The Level 80 hidden dungeon [Demon Realm Ancient Ruins] is now fully open. Players can freely form teams to explore. Location coordinates: Devil World xx, xx...』

“……”

All the players on the server froze.

All the players on the server were dumbfounded.

All the players on the server cursed out loud!

“Old Man Chen! Go to your ****!”

The festive atmosphere from just moments ago instantly did a 180-degree turn, and the number of people muted server-wide for insulting others broke a new historical record!

The spark of rebellion that had just ignited was mercilessly extinguished by a bucket of cold water!

Players who hadn't been muted yet began to direct their fire at the game's features.

“Damn! Is this announcement feature crazy?! Can we even clear a Level 80 hidden dungeon? Do we really need your reminder?!”

“Exactly! Isn't this just purely disgusting?! It's as if we can go to the Devil World! Damn WanJie planners!”

“No… the King-tier BOSS was just announced, and then immediately came the Level 80 dungeon announcement. Old Man Chen’s speed is too fast!”

“Uh… is it possible that the final BOSS of the Level 80 hidden dungeon is King-tier…?”

“What nonsense are you spouting? King-tier is already the highest level BOSS, something that only appears in the very late game. A Level 80 dungeon is absolutely impossible!”

“So that means Old Man Chen first killed a Level 150 King-tier BOSS, and then cleared a Level 80 hidden dungeon at light speed? Is that even possible?!”

“Stop jabbering! Stick to the formation! Old Man Chen! Go to your ****!”

“Cursing isn’t good…”

“Who cares? Everyone else is cursing. If you don’t, wouldn’t you be out of place?”

“I can’t bring myself to curse…”

“Hmph, I see your anti-Chen monopoly heart isn’t firm. Tell me, do you want to recognize him as your grandfather?!”

“Uh, well… it’s not impossible…”

“Daydreaming! Those who want to be his grandson have already lined up to France. How could it be your turn? I advise you to give up…”

“……”

......

Chen Beixuan, the instigator, was completely unaware of what was happening outside. At this moment, he was happily sitting on the stone coffin, checking his rewards.

At his feet was the corpse of the Level 80 dungeon BOSS, dead beyond dead.

Ding! Congratulations on your first clear of the Level 80 hidden dungeon [Demon Realm Ancient Ruins]! Rewards: 240 free attribute points, 1 advanced skill book for your profession, 1 skill fusion stone, 220 gold coins, and the title: [Godslayer]!

“Ha! A skill fusion stone!”

Chen Beixuan laughed happily.

Among the rewards dropped by the 50 BOSSes, whether they were divine artifacts or orange-tier equipment, they were all Level 140 equipment, which he couldn't use yet.

Only two skill books he hadn't learned could be put to use, and with this one, that makes three!

“I can fuse another one…”

He eagerly took out the skill books to examine them.

——————

[Fire Rain Meteor] ★

Description: Summons a fierce Fire Rain Meteor to attack a designated location. Each meteor causes 500% area fire damage upon landing and exploding. 30 Fire Rain Meteors cover a 50-meter radius. Cooldown: 1 minute. Mana Cost: 500.

——————

[Raging Wave Surge] ★

Description: Communicates with water elements to summon a giant wave, impacting a designated direction, causing 400% magic damage and applying [Wet]. Max distance: 500 meters. Cooldown: 1 minute. Mana Cost: 400.

[Wet]: When taking ice-type skill damage, freeze duration and damage are doubled.

——————

[Blazing Blast] ★

Description: Releases a blazing origin point at a designated location. After 3 seconds, a violent explosion occurs, dealing 1000% fire damage to enemies within a 30-meter radius. Cooldown: 2 minutes. Mana Cost: 1000.

——————

“Whoa, all three skills are pretty good…”

Without hesitation, Chen Beixuan chose to learn all of them.

Ding! You have learned new skills: [Fire Rain Meteor], [Raging Wave Surge], [Blazing Blast]!

Next was the use of the fusion stone.

“Which two would be best to fuse…”

First, Raging Wave Surge was ruled out. This skill was clearly a pre-emptive skill, best paired with Icebound for Thousands of Miles, so he had to keep it.

That left Fire Rain Meteor and Blazing Blast, both of which involved explosions, which was a bit redundant.

Chen Beixuan opened his skill bar, wanting to see if any other skills were suitable.

Upon looking, he did find a suitable option.

That was Chaos Spear!

As the first single-target exclusive skill he obtained, he always had an idea in his mind, and this idea became even stronger after obtaining the 'Telescope' entry.

That was to turn Chaos Spear into a long-range intercontinental missile that could kill enemies from a thousand miles away!

Now he had the damage and targeting, but he lacked area explosion damage. This last Blazing Blast effect was just right!

“You two are the chosen ones!”

Chen Beixuan used the fusion stone, selected Chaos Spear and Blazing Blast, and clicked 'Fuse'!

A crisp notification sounded!

Ding! Fusion successful! You have learned a new skill: [Chaos - Detonation Spear]!

——————

[Chaos - Detonation Spear]: Professional Exclusive Skill 9 ★

Description: Summons a Detonation Spear to pierce through enemies and gain the [Chaos] effect, dealing 9900% true damage to a single target and triggering an explosion, dealing the same damage again to enemies within 180 meters and leaving a [Blazing Origin Point] mark. Can destroy terrain. Cooldown: 30 seconds. Mana Cost: 1800.

[Chaos]: Damage dealt is additionally increased by 90%, and your magic attack attribute is increased by 90%, lasting 10 seconds.

[Blazing Origin Point]: Targets with this status will trigger a detonation when taking damage. Explosion damage and range are the same as the skill.

Entries: [Ballistic Splitting * 3], [Target Lock], [Eternal Silence], [Telescope]

Calculation Method: (Base 1-star 800% + 8-star 800% + 600%) × 4.5

“Haha, it worked!”

Seeing the effect, Chen Beixuan laughed heartily.
