Chapter 120: Dark Horse
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was obvious that although Zhang Xuan had rushed to the 50th floor in an instant, he had also appeared on the stone tablet list.
However, because there were too many people, the 50th floor was too low. There was no way to enter the top 50, or even the top 100.
Although many students began to guess after seeing Zhang Xuan’s name, there were also many who felt that Zhang Xuan couldn’t go up.
“Don’t make wild guesses. Zhang Xuan is powerful, but among the new students, he’s indeed awesome.”
“But don’t forget that the top 100 people have all reached Level 28!”
“As for the top 50, they’re third transition students above Level 30.
Furthermore, many professions are very powerful.”
“Although Zhang Xuan is powerful, he’s on the 23rd floor. It’s already not bad if he can enter the top 100.”
The difference in levels and professions could easily widen the gap in combat power.
Moreover, these students had only heard rumors. They had heard of Zhang Xuan’s battle results but had never seen them with their own eyes. Naturally, they felt that his only hidden profession was only slightly stronger than a Rare-ranked profession.
Could it really be comparable to an Epic-ranked class? A Legendary-ranked class?
Without a doubt, many students thought that Zhang Xuan had only reached the top 100.
Outside the Four Sages Tower, the students kept guessing. The rankings on the stone tablet became more and more intense, and the degree of change also increased.
In the Four Sages Tower, Zhang Xuan continued to advance.
After passing the checkpoint on the 50th floor, Zhang Xuan also understood the situation of the Four Sages Tower.
The Four Sages Tower was very special. The monsters at each checkpoint respawned very quickly. When the students entered, they would appear in different places.
Every time they passed the first level, they would be given a certain amount of EXP.
After passing the 50th floor, the reward for this floor was 50,000 EXP!
But this was far from enough.
Zhang Xuan didn’t care about this bit of EXP.
As for the materials that dropped? They were even more useless.
After all, with the existence of the Abyssal Weapon, Zhang Xuan indeed didn’t need any materials.
The price of these materials was also very low.
Together, it was only a few hundred or a few thousand points.
Points were the most important in the Four Sages Academy. However, because he had obtained a title after clearing the Abyss Novice Dungeon, he also received a reward from the academy.
He naturally had no problem with points.
“We still have to speed up the progress.”
“These levels aren’t difficult.”
Zhang Xuan watched and went upstairs one after another.
Four Sages Tower, 51st Floor.
“Welcome to the 51st floor!”
“The monster is about to attack!”
As Zhang Xuan entered the 51st floor, monsters appeared.
Just like on the previous 50th floor, many monsters suddenly appeared.
Moreover, all of them were cruel and bloodthirsty.
[Four Sages Tower. Twisted Tree Demon]
[Level: 25]
[Strength: 610]
[Agility: 400]
[Health: 2,000]
[Skill: Solid Armor, can increase defense by 100%. At the same time, HP will double. Duration: 10 seconds!]
The monster that appeared had a pretty interesting skill. It was a monster that purely defended.
To put it bluntly, it was a meat shield.
However, it wasn’t just one, but a total of 20 monsters of the same type!
When this number increased, be it in defense or attack, it would reach an astonishing level.
“They’re meat shields, right?”
“This bit of HP isn’t enough for defense.”
Although the attributes of these monsters were interesting, they were nothing in front of the Skeleton Warriors.
From the 1st to the 50th floor, the number of Skeleton Warriors Zhang Xuan summoned also increased.
But even so, when he reached the 50th floor, he only used 15 Skeleton Warriors.
This time, Zhang Xuan directly added five.
“Kill them.”
“Do it.”
Zhang Xuan spoke directly. With a command, the Skeleton Warriors directly erupted and instantly fought these Twisted Tree Demons.
These Twisted Tree Demons were clumsy, and their attack methods were very simple. Once the skill was activated, it formed a super strong defense. Then, they used absolute defense to collide and cause damage.
However, the attacks of the Twisted Tree Demons weren’t a threat to the Skeleton Warriors at all.
After all, even if the Skeleton Warrior was smashed to pieces, it could still be reborn and continue fighting.
Moreover, after the previous Abyss Novice Dungeon battle, Zhang Xuan’s level had also increased to Level 23.
Other than the increase in his professional level, although the Skeleton Warrior was still at the silver level, all his attributes had also increased.
Be it the Skeleton Warriors or the undead summoned by the Corpse Soul Disaster, their strengths all increased as Zhang Xuan’s level increased.
[Health -5000]
[Health -10,000]
The damage output of the Skeleton Warriors became even more astonishing. Under the layers, even if the defense of these Twisted Tree Demons became astonishing, they couldn’t withstand it.
As the Skeleton Warrior fell and got up, coupled with dense attacks, they directly dealt with these Twisted Tree Demons!
Although the entire battle was chaotic and there were no tactics to speak of, the actual damage caused wasn’t fake at all.
A few minutes later, Zhang Xuan cleared the level and continued to go up.
Zhang Xuan also slowly realized that after the 50th floor, the level of the monsters increased greatly. Moreover, the attributes of these monsters would also change.
It had certain characteristics.
These monsters relied on these characteristics to greatly increase their combat strength.
However, the characteristics of these monsters weren’t ridiculous. Even if there were many of them, they didn’t pose much of an obstacle to Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan could now summon 90 Skeleton Warriors to form a Skeleton Army. This Skeleton Army was very powerful.
As the number of checkpoints continued to rise, Zhang Xuan arrived at the 55th floor in a short while.
[Four Sages Tower. Forbidden Demon]
[Level: 30]
[Strength: 1000]
[Agility: 1500]
[Health: 3,500]
[Skill: Spiritual Shock. Attack in the form of a sonic attack, causing a Spiritual
Shock to the target. The impact causes 100 true damage to the target and an additional 5 seconds of weakness.]
[Weakened State: Target cannot release skills. All attributes will decrease in 5 seconds.]
As the monster information appeared, Zhang Xuan didn’t hesitate at all. He directly summoned the Skeleton Warriors, 30 Skeleton Warriors, and a Skeleton General in one go.
There were a total of 20 Forbidden Demons!
Moreover, their mental attack skill was strange. To mages, this could be said to be an absolute nemesis!
Once the monster’s skill was released, it would cause a weakening of mental strength.
Summoning mages required very important mental strength. What elementalists needed was mana..
