"Ding! ~"
System Prompt: You have successfully mastered the skill [Grasp of the Undead]!
"Ding! ~"
System Prompt: You have successfully mastered the skill [Necrotic Slash]!
The two skills cost three gold coins. But after killing thousands of Rotten Bones, he had more than eight gold coins in his bag and could still afford it.
"Alright, I have taught you what you can learn. When your strength is sufficient, come to me to learn new methods." After Jack learned the skills, Sherrill opened his mouth to see him off.
Jack asked: "Teacher, when is it considered having sufficient strength?"
"When the power of the Dark Swordsman within you is difficult to suppress and thus enables you to master new methods." Sherrill replied.
Hearing this, Jack suddenly understood.
If he remembered correctly, I comprehended Dark Cycle at level 50. In other words, I should come to him again at level 50?
"Then I won't disturb you. Goodbye, teacher."
"Um."
...
Leaving the Ghost Marsh, Jack decisively chose to log out.
After completing the quest and learning the skills, it was already more than three o'clock in the morning. His life was important and he had to sleep quickly.
...
The next day.
"Didi!"
The ringtone of the mobile phone woke Jack from his sleep.
Taking the mobile phone beside the pillow with a tired face, Jack pressed the answer button: "Hello?"
"Buddy, it's twelve o'clock at noon. Are you still sleeping?" Wang Kai's voice rang from the other end of the phone.
"I stayed up late. What's up?"
"Did you know about the large-scale event that was broadcasted by the system yesterday?"
"Um."
Jack rubbed his somewhat swollen head and the corners of his mouth curled up in a helpless smile: "The siege battle. I know."
To be honest, as one of the defending BOSSes of the city, it was difficult for him not to know.
"Are you going to join the fun?" Wang Kai asked. "The event rewards for this siege battle are very generous. The top few can even get Gold Grade equipment and even ultra-rare items."
"Event rewards?"
Suddenly, Jack became energetic: "Where did you see it?"
If he remembered correctly, the system didn't inform about the rewards.
"It wasn't announced." Wang Kai lowered his voice and said, "I learned it through a special channel."
"Then it's really okay for you to tell me?" Jack was a little puzzled.
Last time during the talent trial, if it weren't for Wang Kai revealing the news, perhaps he wouldn't have asked Daniel and thus obtained the specific situation and was lucky to obtain the Grade SS talent skill Domination.
"I didn't sign a confidentiality agreement. I can tell whoever I want." Wang Kai said indifferently.
"Alright."
Jack's reminder was out of concern. Since Wang Kai thought it was okay, he naturally wouldn't ask more.
"Anyway, just take a look for yourself. Actually, going to kill some small monsters and get some points is also good." Wang Kai said.
"Um."
Jack understood what he meant.
After all, it was an event. The rewards must be more than killing monsters and doing quests normally. Wang Kai was thinking of him.
Huh?
Wait!
Event rewards...
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Jack's mind. Thinking of something, he bounced up from the bed and was excited: "I have a way!"
"Way?" Wang Kai didn't understand at all what Jack was babbling about. "What way?"
"I'll treat you to a meal after it's done."
"Tell me first what it is?"
"Mua!"
"..."
Wang Kai fell silent.
Bro, I'm a man.

Chapter 28: Dark Cycle (Page 1/2)
"Ding! ~"
System Prompt: Please note that your level is temporarily raised to level 50. It will return to normal after the talent trial ends!
Jiang Han wasn't surprised by the system's behavior of constantly raising the player's level to reduce the actual difficulty.
Compared to the terrifying growth of beast-like creatures, even if humans reach level 50, they are still inferior. After all, non-humanoid creatures don't have the concept of equipment. The higher the grade, the stronger the attribute growth. Players need to rely on equipment to stack attributes to be comparable.
However, know yourself and know your enemy to win every battle. To understand the gap, he still checked his own attributes first.
[The Fallen · Jiang Han Shui] (Bronze Grade BOSS)
Level: 50
Life: 25,000
Attack: 600
Defense: 250
Reputation: 12,000
Luck: 0
Unallocated Free Attribute Points: 5
Introduction:...
...
A full 600 attack points!
The improvement of the Art of Slaughter is still powerful. After all, in addition to the attack value, the Art of Slaughter also provides a percentage attack bonus and is destined not to be eliminated.
Adding all the free attribute points to the attack, Jiang Han's strength increased further.
At the same time, the phantom of the Water Qilin was completely condensed.
"Ding! ~"
System Prompt: Please kill the enemy within ten minutes. If you succeed in killing, the range of talent acquisition will be raised to S - Grade A. If you fail, it will be S - Grade B!
Grade A!
As long as he defeats the Water Qilin, the talent he can obtain will be at least Grade A. But the problem is...
"Fairy-level BOSS. System, you really know how to play!" Jiang Han's expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
Fairy-level!
This is much higher than the Dark Gold level in the previous stage. During this period, it crossed at least three levels: Spirit-level, Earth-level, and Heaven-level!
Although the system raised his level to 50, facing a level 1 fairy-level BOSS, his attributes were still at a disadvantage. Not to mention the skills, he was completely crushed -
[Water Qilin] (Fairy-level BOSS)
Level: 1
Life: 100,000
Attack: 680
Defense: 350
Skills: [Water Breath] [Cold Wave Sweeping] [Divine Auspiciousness] [Forbidden · Ocean Domain]
Introduction: An ultra-rare creature existing in the vast sea area. Ordinary people will not have the fortune to encounter it in their lifetime. As a branch of auspiciousness, it is born with perfect control over the water element. It is a dominant-level in its infancy and has the opportunity to step into the divine-level realm when it reaches maturity and become a top powerhouse in Tianheng Continent. Since it has become one of the levels of the talent trial, it is believed that there will also be some感应 in reality
...
Jiang Han was under great pressure.
His attributes in all aspects were completely surpassed. He had no advantage at all. Moreover, the skills of the Water Qilin sounded outrageous just by their names. The last skill even had a "Forbidden" character.
What does it mean?
Did the level 1 Water Qilin already learn to cast forbidden spells?
"Roar!"
The Water Qilin roared. The shiny scales reflected fatal danger. A constantly rotating torrent appeared in the blood-filled mouth that was opened towards Jiang Han and then gushed out, forming a water column.
Seeing this, Jiang Han, who was already well-prepared, would not blindly take it head-on. He quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the water column that was about to hit his chest.
However, the Water Qilin did not give up. It turned its head to one side and the water column changed position and moved horizontally.
"!!"
Jiang Han was startled. He decisively bent his waist and fell backward. Before he could do anything, the bone-chilling cold swept over. The wet ground quickly froze with frost.
The cold invaded his body, causing Jiang Han's blood to freeze and flow unsmoothly in an instant.
"Ding! ~"
System Prompt: The Water Qilin used the skill [Cold Wave Sweeping], reducing the speed and attack speed of all enemy units within a 30-meter radius centered on itself by 50% for ten seconds!
Ten seconds?!
Jiang Han's expression changed drastically. He wanted to move but was slow. The Water Qilin in the distance reacted quickly, took the opportunity to leap up, and stomped its front hooves hard on both sides of Jiang Han's shoulders, pressing him to the ground.
-4,555!
Just a simple normal attack and Jiang Han's health points immediately lost nearly one-fifth!
"Roar!!"
It roared at Jiang Han. The deafening sound made Jiang Han's eardrums rumble and extremely uncomfortable.
In the next second, a torrent formed in its mouth. At such a close distance, it was confident that the enemy had no way to avoid it.
Am I going to lose?
Jiang Han gritted his teeth and tried to break free. But his arms were firmly pressed and he could only watch as the torrent brewed in the Water Qilin's mouth.
What should I do?
His brain worked rapidly, trying to get out of the dangerous situation.
It's true that he thought he performed well in the talent trial. If he was lucky, the talent selection range of S - B could still allow him to obtain Grade S. But...
He was not willing to stop here!
Watching the torrent about to erupt, in a hurry, Jiang Han suddenly thought of something. He gathered saliva in his mouth, concentrated it on the tip of his tongue, and spat it out with all his strength: "Ha... Ptooey!"
The saliva burst out and accurately landed in the Water Qilin's mouth, slowly sliding down its huge tongue.
Water Qilin: "..."
"Ha... Ptooey!"
Just before the second wave of water element attack was about to hit, the Water Qilin immediately jumped backward, avoiding the opponent's shameless interference. After spitting a few times on the ground, it glared angrily.
Saved!
Jiang Han quickly got up and looked at the extremely furious Water Qilin, not giving in with his words: "Don't think only you can use Water Breath. We humans can do the same. We are born with perfect control over the water element."
"Ding! ~"
System Prompt: Please note that the Water Qilin's hatred value for you +1000!
"Ding! ~"
System Prompt: Because of your provocation, the Water Qilin is about to use the skill [Forbidden · Ocean Domain]!
"Roar!!"
The Water Qilin roared towards the sky. Its whole body glowed with a dazzling blue light. Surging water waves appeared beneath it and gradually spread towards the surroundings. In almost a few seconds, it submerged Jiang Han's ankles.
Seeing this, Jiang Han's eyebrows were filled with solemnity.
Although temporarily out of danger, the answer to how to defeat the Water Qilin next was still unknown.
"Gurgle..."
However, just when Jiang Han was on high alert, the blood in his body suddenly began to boil. A strange cold energy flowed from his chest into his limbs and bones.
This is...
Jiang Han was overjoyed.
The evil power within me is finally about to burst out uncontrollably!
"Ding! ~"
System Prompt: Congratulations on reaching level 50 and stimulating the potential of the Dark Swordsman in the battle. Comprehend the skill: [Dark Cycle] (Grade S)!
As the only hidden occupation, the potential of the Dark Swordsman is beyond doubt. At the critical moment, it actually played a role again, helping Jiang Han comprehend a new skill.
"Must be powerful!"
Before the Water Qilin launched the Ocean Domain, Jiang Han quickly opened the skill panel to check the details -
[Dark Cycle] (Grade S)
Introduction: The Dark Swordsman walks on the edge of life and death. Not afraid of death but eager to win. He masters the special ability to squeeze every bit of strength from his body to defeat the opponent.
Effect: Within five minutes, all attributes increase by 50%.
Negative Effect: The level drops by 10 levels after use.
