Chapter 83: The Boss That Was Almost Instantly Killed
Lin Moyu's most important ability was his godly talent: Full Enhancement.
The source of his strength.
The Full Enhancement talent had reached level 3.
The enhancement multiplier increased from 20x to 30x.
A significant improvement.
Soul Fire's power grew even greater.
It was already an extremely powerful single-target damage skill.
Now amplified 30 times, its attack power must be terrifying.
Very effective at interrupting boss skills.
The very important Corpse Explosion skill also improved.
Still at level 2, its range increased to 60 meters after enhancement.
60 meters was a sizable area.
Damage reached 450% of the corpse's max HP.
Equivalent to 4.5x damage.
If similar monsters were detonated, what monster could withstand it?
The Slow Curse skill also benefited from the talent upgrade, reaching 150 meters range and 150% slow effect.
Duration increased to 30 minutes.
Finally, Lin Moyu checked the skeleton warrior's attributes.
At skill level 20, the skeleton warriors upgraded from bronze to silver grade.
Their attributes must have increased significantly.
At level 19, after enhancement the skeleton warriors had 6200 in all attributes.
Their true base attributes were actually 310.
Average, not high or low, similar to ordinary wild monsters.
But with enough skeleton warriors, even without talent enhancement, fighting monsters in the wild was still easy.
After all, dozens attacking one target would just be slower.
But now...
A silver-white skeleton warrior stood before him.
Slightly taller than bronze grade, emitting a silver-white luster.
Its bones looked smoother, no longer rough.
The blade in its hand was sharper, like finely crafted equipment, no longer looking shabby at all.
All these changes told Lin Moyu: I've become stronger.
[Silver-grade Skeleton Warrior]
[Strength: 12000]
[Agility: 12000]
[Spirit: 12000]
[Constitution: 12000]
[Skill: Berserk Strike (Level 2)]
[Berserk Strike (Level 2): Deals 300% of own strength as damage to the target, 10 minute cooldown.]
Lin Moyu felt numb all over seeing these attributes.
Shocked by himself again.
12,000 in all four attributes.
Over five digits.
The base attributes were 400, not particularly high.
His talent was still the most impressive.
"How much spirit does summoning one silver-grade skeleton warrior cost..."
Lin Moyu thought of an issue.
With level increase and stronger attributes, what about the cost?
He tried summoning one.
His spirit power instantly dropped sharply.
1320 spirit power directly dropped to 820.
His eyebrows twitched involuntarily.
"Consuming 500 spirit power, quite a lot."
"Looks like I need to get some equipment to increase spirit power."
He could only summon two at a time. Filling the summoning space would take forever.
At level 20, he could now wear silver equipment.
Lin Moyu decided to check the exchange to see if he could buy suitable silver equipment.
He also needed to purchase junior skill scrolls.
At level 20, it was time to draw some skills.
The silver-grade skeleton warriors with greatly increased attributes easily cut through the spider webs.
Then they all charged in.
Facing the charging skeleton warriors, the Spider King took a battle stance.
This time Lin Moyu didn't move, wanting to see how strong the silver-grade skeleton warriors were.
Skill: Web Spit!
A huge web descended from above.
Lin Moyu originally thought the skeleton warriors would be trapped again.
Unexpectedly, several skeleton warriors suddenly leapt up, swinging their blades.
With a light sound, the spider web was cut apart.
The skeleton warriors passed through the web without pause, continuing to charge at the Spider King.
"They've become more agile."
"As if they've gained intelligence, their combat power has increased."
Lin Moyu sensed a kind of agility from the silver-grade skeleton warriors.
They could adapt to situations, not just blindly hack like before.
If so, would future gold and platinum grade skeleton warriors become like true warriors, similar to career professionals?
The Spider King kept spitting webs, but they were all easily countered by the skeleton warriors.
After reaching silver grade, the skeleton warriors were incomparable to before.
Not only were their attributes greatly increased, they also gained combat awareness.
In the blink of an eye, the skeleton warriors reached the Spider King's feet.
Some skeleton warriors' silver-white blades glowed red as they hacked at the Spider King's legs.
Skill: Berserk Strike!
12,000 strength plus 300% attack bonus.
This skill truly deserved to be called berserk.
Red light illuminated the cave.
Like cutting vegetables, the Spider King's legs were all chopped off.
With miserable screams, the Spider King fell to the ground.
Another group of skeleton warriors activated their skills.
Their blades fell on the Spider King's body.
[Killed Spider King, Experience +190000]
[Obtained Silver-grade weapon: Spider Staff]
[Obtained Low-grade Monster Crystal Core]
[Spider Staff: Silver-grade, Spirit +40, Constitution +40, Mage skill power +8%, usable after level 20]
Seeing the notification, Lin Moyu was stunned.
It was over already?
The skeleton warriors used one round of skills, taking less than 10 seconds total.
The mighty dungeon boss died just like that?
Faced with silver-grade skeleton warriors with 12,000 in all attributes, the Spider King couldn't even summon minions.
It was too fast.
Lin Moyu checked his experience and was speechless.
Gaining 190,000 experience only increased his experience by 0.2%.
Leveling after level 20 had slowed down several times.
Normally, from level 20 to 30,
The fastest would take a year, the slowest might take 2-3 years.
Every 5 levels was a stage, with 25+ being even slower.
No wonder Creation God Academy required level 30.
Those who could reach level 30 in a short time were all very impressive.
And like his sister, who could join Creation God Academy just months after entering the university, were even rarer.
Lin Moyu didn't linger in the Dungeon Hall, directly using a teleportation stone to return to his dorm.
He left the dorm and headed to the exchange.
The Imperial Exchange and University Exchange were built side by side.
Their exteriors differed slightly, but the style was unified.
Connected together, students called them the Trading Center.
Lin Moyu first went to the University Exchange, which had many items for sale, all requiring points to purchase.
Its main difference from the Imperial Exchange was no buyback function.
You could consign items, but couldn't directly sell items to the exchange.
Lin Moyu found several missions there, mostly collecting materials.
He turned in the materials he obtained for missions, exchanging for 150 points.
This was one way many students obtained points.
Then he went to the Imperial Exchange and sold all his remaining items to the exchange for buyback.
Lin Moyu didn't consider consignment, as the price difference wasn't that large and he didn't want to bother researching prices.
With that time, he'd rather run a few more dungeons.
Silver-grade equipment was worth more than bronze-grade.
Several silver and bronze weapons and equipment, plus some miscellaneous materials,
Exchanged for 430,000 gold coins total.
His total assets reached 610,000 gold coins and 135,000 points.
After setting two records, his points not only didn't decrease, but increased.
Lin Moyu searched the Imperial Exchange but didn't find the equipment he needed.
He ended up spending 600,000 gold coins to buy 6 junior skill scrolls.
"6 scrolls... probably not enough."
To be safe, he went to the University Exchange again.
The University Exchange also sold junior skill scrolls, priced at 800 points each.
Equivalent to 80,000 gold coins.
Not enough to buy one skill scroll.
This highlighted how points had greater purchasing power and higher value.
This wasn't just for skill scrolls.
Other equipment and items were the same.
Lin Moyu thought for a moment, then bought 10 more junior skill scrolls, using 8000 points.
"16 scrolls should be about right."
After buying skill scrolls, he looked at other items.
Some equipment and items weren't available in the Imperial Exchange.
Like a silver-grade weapon Lin Moyu saw.
This weapon called Spirit Sword wasn't from a dungeon, but crafted by a blacksmith career holder named Zhang Tie.
Blacksmiths were support class careers who could craft weapons and armor needed by career holders.
[Spirit Sword: Silver-grade, Spirit +400, usable after level 20]
[Creator: Zhang Tie]
[Description: One of the Spirit Trilogy set]
No skill bonuses, only +400 spirit attribute.
Compared to other silver-grade weapons,
Top silver-grade staves increased spirit by 200 and mage skill power by 15%, overall more practical than this Spirit Sword.
Most mages wouldn't choose it.
The Spirit Sword was unusual among silver-grade weapons.
Only some special mages like Prophets who needed large amounts of spirit power to cast skills would choose such an unusual weapon.
Lin Moyu was interested in its extremely high spirit power increase.
His own spirit power had reached 1320.
Each skeleton warrior summoned required 500 spirit power.
Originally he could only enhance two skeleton warriors at once, but with this sword he could summon three.
And higher spirit power meant faster meditation recovery, increasing efficiency.
Most importantly, Lin Moyu's Soul Fire skill grew more powerful with higher spirit power.
Increasing spirit power was equivalent to indirectly enhancing his skills.
For Lin Moyu, it was much more practical than other silver weapons.
The Spirit Sword was priced at 3000 points, slightly higher than but basically on par with other silver-grade weapons.
Lin Moyu bought it without hesitation.
