Chapter 8 - Chapter Eight: Spirit-based Attacks that Ignore Defense

The level 2 skeleton warriors had all their attributes increased by 100 points, going directly from 150 to 250.

Lin knew that the amplification wasn't actually that exaggerated; it was primarily because his talent was too powerful.

Otherwise, a level 2 skeleton would only have 25 in each attribute, increasing by 10 points per level.

Balanced across four dimensions, a total increase of 40 points would be normal.

While not weak, it certainly shouldn't be this strong.

The key was the talent, a unique divine talent.

This talent and the Necromancer profession were a perfect match.

Lin continued to use his skill to summon skeleton warriors, increasing their number to seven.

The seven skeleton warriors were like seven top fighters, scattering across the novice dungeon and continuously killing monsters.

Whether they were level 1, 2, or even 3, under their decrepit swords, all were instantly killed without exception.

With such strong attributes, even without using any skills, the skeleton warriors possessed extremely high attack power.

"A strength attribute of 250 should be comparable to a level 10 warrior, right?"

Merely level 2 skeleton warriors possessing attack power comparable to level 10 made them unstoppable in the novice dungeon.

Most importantly, there were seven of them.

No, seven was just the beginning.

Lin planned to continue summoning after his spirit power recovered.

[Killed a level 2 Grey Fur Cat, experience +20]

[Killed a level 3 Brown Dog, experience +30]

[Killed a level 4 Blue-Eyed Rat King, experience +40]

It was a series of instant kills, without any suspense.

Facing the attack power of at least level 10, these mere level 3 or 4 monsters...

Died without any doubt, painlessly.

Lin followed the path of the skeletons, moving slowly forward.

As the skeletons ran further, a map gradually formed in Lin's mind, mapping out the secret realm.

"Huh, it has this function too?"

The places walked by the skeleton warriors automatically formed a map.

Besides killing monsters, the skeleton warriors also became automatic map creators.

In just an hour, Lin was close to leveling up again, facing another level up.

He even gave up meditating; with such a rapid leveling speed, who needs meditation?

Just waiting for the automatic recovery of spirit power during leveling up was enough.

The skeleton warriors were relentless and merciless with their attacks.

Then Lin noticed a monster that had not been killed by the skeleton warriors.

A level 2 Grey Fur Cat.

Hiding in the bushes, it had been overlooked by the skeleton warriors.

"Quite the lucky one."

Lin thought to himself as he summoned a blue flame in his palm.

Soul Flame!

This was his only offensive skill at the moment.

The blue flame, almost like teleportation, instantly appeared on the level 2 Grey Fur Cat.

With a scream, the cat convulsed twice and then lay dead.

Facing the attack skill amplified tenfold, the Grey Fur Cat had no chance but to be instantly killed.

[Killed a level 2 Grey Fur Cat, experience +20]

The Grey Fur Cat died, but from the outside, there was no sign it had been burned by flames.

Lin understood, just like the skill description said, Soul Flame targets the soul.

This skill belonged to the spirit attack category.

Once again shocked, Lin realized spirit attacks share a common feature: they ignore defense.

No matter how strong your physical defense or how high your elemental defense, it can't block spirit attacks.

"The hidden profession is indeed powerful; even the only two skills I have are very strong."

"Even without the talent amplification, the Necromancer would not be inferior to any legendary profession."

Lin had his judgment, which might not be comprehensive or objective, but he believed it to be mostly accurate.

A beam of light shot up from him.

He leveled up.

All attributes increased by 10 points again, and spirit increased by 20 points.

The skeleton warrior skill also reached level 3.

After the increase, all dimensions again added 10 points, which, after amplification, amounted to a 100-point increase.

The four dimensions reached an astonishing 350 points.

Lin continued using the summon skeleton skill, conjuring three more skeleton warriors, bringing the total in the dungeon to 10.

Ten skeleton warriors rampaged through the dungeon like a sweeping force.

[Killed a level 4 Blue-Eyed Rat King, experience +40]

[Killed a level 5 Green Wolf, experience +50]

...

Even level 5 monsters faced instant death against the skeleton warriors.

Lin didn't even need to lift a finger, just waiting to harvest experience.

At this rate, he could level up again in a maximum of two hours.

Whereas others, reaching level 3 on the first day would be considered good, and it would only get slower from there.

After all, Lu Yun's requirement for them was to reach level 8 in a week.

Level 8 was enough to apply for higher education institutions.

Unless you aimed for the national top 50 prestigious schools, which required level 9 or even level 10.

Outside the dungeon, the principals again started chatting and comparing.

They gathered around a table, brewed tea, and chatted shamelessly.

"I wonder how many levels this year's kids can achieve on the first day."

"Does anyone remember the highest record?"

"I think it was level 5, both Su Qianxing and Lin Mohan reached level 5 last year."

"Su Qianxing and Lin Mohan are both rare professions, and this year's Xia Xue is too. They should be about the same."

"From their first day's leveling speed, we can roughly judge the following days' leveling speed."

"If Xia Xue can't reach level 5 on the first day, it would be difficult for her to aim for Xia Jing Academy."

Listening to their conversation, Lu Yun thought, "I wonder what level Lin can reach. With a hidden profession, he shouldn't be bad."

After level 5, leveling speed significantly slows down.

Their reference to "the first day" actually means 12 hours.

After entering the dungeon, a countdown begins, and after 12 hours, participants are automatically removed from the dungeon.

It's all about how many levels can be achieved within these 12 hours.

Suddenly, a massive aura swept over them.
