Inside the Black Wind Cave, the Fire Qilin had been summoned out.
Compared to before, the current Fire Qilin had become a bit stronger again.
Luo Tian was now certain that the damage output of the Fire Qilin was correlated with his level. The higher his level, the stronger its damage would be. The Fire Qilin was a divine beast that could keep growing stronger along with him.
“Whoosh~!”
“Whoosh~!”
Flames were constantly spraying out.
The fur of the Corpse Eating Rats was burnt crimson red, and the cave was filled with the unpleasant odor of burnt fur.
Luo Tian waved his Heaven Sword and shouted, “Vajra Sword Technique!”
“Buddha of Rage, kill!”
The sword stabbed out, the crushing power of a semi-divine artifact devastating all before it. The first time he entered the Black Wind Cave, Luo Tian’s attack couldn’t even hurt the Corpse Eating Rats. But it was much easier now with the Heaven Sword.
Each sword strike was capable of dealing huge amounts of damage.
“God Flame!”
“Boom~!”
With a movement of his palm, Luo Tian shot out a God Flame and sent a pouncing Corpse Eating Rat flying away. He followed up with a Shoulder Dash and ended it with a Vajra Sword Technique.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for killing a Corpse Eating Rat. You have gained 10,000 experience points, 1000 yuan energy…”
“The first one!”
Luo Tian checked his experience bar, “I need fifty-something more. I only have about four hours, so I need to quicken the pace.”
Luo Tian was feeling irritated the moment he thought of Ao Sheng’s disdainful expression and how the Hai family was making things difficult for him.
“No one can stop me.”
“Not even the Hai family!”
“The more they try to stop me, the stronger I’ll get.” Luo Tian said to himself. He then shouted internally, “Level 1 Divine Explosion, activate!”
“Ommm~!”
A light of power erupted from his body and surged outward.
All his base attributes suddenly increased.
Especially his critical strike chance!
Luo Tian was now dealing double the damage from each sword strike. In half an hour, the first wave of Corpse Eating Rats was wiped out. Watching his experience bar go up by 140,000 points was a really good feeling.
Fire Qilin was blocking in front while Luo Tian was behind, stabbing and striking.
This was a move he often used in the games of his previous life.
“The experience points are pretty good, except there’s no loot exploding out. The yuan energy I receive is also not enough, so I am pretty much spending more than I get back.” Luo Tian muttered to himself before taking a few medicinal pills.
The Healing Pills helped his body recover from the minor injuries he suffered and also allowed him to replenish a bit of yuan energy.
Right after that, Luo Tian made a command in his mind, “Fire Qilin, keep heading forward.”
“Whoooooo~ Eeeeeeee~…”
The eerie wind started up again.
The wind kept blowing from somewhere within the dark cave. The air contained the scent of death, like it was coming from the depths of hell. Based on common sense, the wind should have been created from the mixing of hot and cold air pressure.
There had to be an exit to someplace that created this environment.
But there were all kinds of miraculous places in the Ancient World. So, there could be anything deep down inside the cave.
The only thing he was certain of was that this cave was definitely not simple.
Every time Luo Tian walked further in, that sense of oppression weighed heavier on his heart. It was as if he was approaching something powerful down there.
“Squeak~, squeak~!”
“Squeak~, squeak~!”
“Squeak~, squeak~!”
Ten minutes or so later, the second wave of Corpse Eating Rats came out from a deep hole. This time, their bodies were glittering with specks of golden light. Their speed, strength, and the aura they emitted were all stronger than the first wave.
Most of them were coming out from the grounds and the walls.
Luo Tian didn’t dare to put his back against the wall because he was afraid of being sneak attacked by them.
“Level 1 Divine Explosion, activate!”
“God Flame, lock on…”
Luo Tian didn’t skimp on yuan energy. He had to level up the proficiency of his skills, especially the two strongest ones like God Flame and Divine Explosion. Only when the skill proficiency levels go up will the skill become stronger. Raising God Flame by one level will allow its instant kill probability to go up by 5%.
He would also become stronger when he leveled up his skills.
Every year, the Misty Cloud Academy has hundreds of thousands of candidates from the Central Continent participating. How difficult was it if only a thousand or so got in?
It was even more difficult than getting into Tsinghua University in his previous life.
Most of these candidates had high talent or even super talent. The lowest of them had a middle talent, and those were few and far between. Basically, those participating were the geniuses among geniuses.
In order to stand out from all these people, just relying on his transformation cards wouldn’t work.
He had to be superior in every aspect.
Leveling was the only correct path to take!
“Ding!”
“Target locked.”
Luo Tian shouted without hesitation, “Blow them up!”
God Flame shot out like lightning from his palm under the enhancement of Divine Explosion.
“Boom~!”
The fireball landed on the frontmost Corpse Eating Rat.
“Squeak~, squeak~!”
The Corpse Eating Rat started cracking apart, light bursting out from its body.
“Bang~!”
Its body exploded.
Instant kill!
Luo Tian was briefly stunned, “Instant kill was triggered?”
This was the first time he combined God Flame with Divine Explosion, which unexpectedly triggered instant kill. The corner of Luo Tian’s mouth curved up into a smile, “It looks like I have created a combo skill by using God Flame with Divine Explosion.”
“Divine Explosion had increased the chance for instant kill to trigger.”
Upon thinking to this point, a glint flashed in Luo Tian’s eyes. He then muttered to himself, ”If both Divine Explosion and God Flame were leveled up to the great perfection stage, wouldn’t their combo trigger instant kill every time? God damn! Who the hell can fight against me in the future?”
Soul Sovereign?
Divine Monarch Seven Light?
Those two were overlord characters in the Ancient World. They had sworn that they would kill Luo Tian when he was back on the Tianxuan Continent. He was worried about running into them ever since he came to this world, but little did he know that the Ancient World was bigger than he thought. It was actually very difficult for those two to find him.
Even though that was the case, Luo Tian still wouldn’t take this threat lightly.
“Let’s level up the proficiency of those two skills as my priority. When the time comes, I’ll go look for them even if they don’t come looking for me.” Luo Tian said to himself. The threat of those two had to be resolved so as to not leave any future problems behind.
“Ding!”
The system gave off an alert.
Luo Tian took advantage of the fact that the timer for Divine Explosion hadn’t ended yet. He started going crazy on them, not bothering with defending. He had to kill these Corpse Eating Rats as quickly as possible.
“Ding!”
“Ding!”
“Ding!”
In one hour, the second wave of Corpse Eating Rats was taken care of.
It was a bit tiring.
Apart from the first Corpse Eating Rat being instantly killed, the rest were rather difficult to deal with. Fire Qilin’s damage to them wasn’t as high as the first wave, so Luo Tian relied on his Divine Explosion and the Heaven Sword to kill them. This resulted in a lot of wasted time.
“I’m halfway to leveling up. Ao Sheng, you just wait for this daddy!”
