Chapter 62 The Guiding Thousand Souls! The Reason for Becoming King!

【The Guide to a Thousand Souls】

[Type: Passive Skill]

[Rank: First Rank]

[Department: Necromancer]

[Consumption: None]

[Cooling time: None]

[Effect: For the Scourge Lord, his people are the fundamental source of his power.]

[This grants you bonuses to your health, mana, attack power, defense, magic resistance, and other basic attributes. These bonuses are calculated as 10% of the above attributes for all undead creatures under your command.]

[While other undead creatures under your control still exist, all fatal damage you suffer will be borne by these undead creatures instead.]

[When the Scourge Lord is present, the summoning time for all Scourge-affiliated undead creatures will not be limited!]

[Note: This is precisely the reason for becoming king.]

Lin Yi finally understood why Lin You, despite only being level one, had such explosive basic attributes.

Because the undead creatures he summoned before would provide Lin You with basic attribute bonuses!
Furthermore, the three effects of Thousand Souls' Guidance are truly amazing.

In addition to the bonus, as long as other summoned creatures are present, they will help Lin You withstand damage.

Conversely, Lin You's own existence can also extend the lifespan of these skeleton soldiers and the Scourge indefinitely!

That's practically invincible!

Looking at Lin You's attributes, Lin Yi was very satisfied.

Fortunately, he chose to evolve this skill.

The improvement it brings to the entire Necromancer system is enormous!
However, I'm ashamed to say that...

Lin Yi discovered that even without the attribute bonuses from [Thousand Souls Guidance], his health and attack power still seemed to be lower than Lin You's at level 1.

Is this the difference between humans and creatures from the abyss?

The starting lines are not even in the same league.

However, Lin You was already at the Lord level when she appeared, which means that her rank is the same as other normal dungeon bosses.

From the time of catastrophe to the present.

Humans on Earth have not stopped their research on monsters.

Level is not the only factor that determines the strength of a monster.

There are also positions.

The most common monsters do not have ranks; lacking ranks, their strength is naturally limited to a very low level.

The strongest individuals are found among the small groups of monsters in the leveling area.

The rank is elite.

This is also the original position.

Above the Elite level is the Lord level, which is the rank of most dungeon bosses and world bosses.

Above the Lord level is the Overlord level.

Bosses with this type of rank are basically mutated bosses.

Above the Overlord level, the criteria for judging the Abyss World are officially established.

【Abyss Demon King】, also known as the King Rank.

The mutated undead knight Rivendell that Lin Yi had encountered before had his rank increased by half a level in a short period of time due to the enhancement from the abyss aura.

Hegemon-level to Quasi-King level.

In the dungeon City of the Lost Light, the Shadow Spider that Lin Yi encountered was a true King-level being.

The royal class itself also has different levels of ranking.

The strength gap between Quasi-King, King, and Top-Tier King is still very large.

Above the King Rank is the [Abyss Demon Emperor], or simply the [Emperor Rank].

Previously, when Qi Guoguang was assigning a code name to Lin Yi, he considered that Lin Yi was an abyssal creature with the [Emperor Rank] status.

Above the Emperor rank is the [Abyss Demon Lord], also known as the [Monarch Rank] or [Emperor Rank].

To date, the number of [Emperor-level] abyssal creatures recorded by the Blue Star human race is less than ten.

Furthermore, if each [Emperor-level] Abyss being were to truly descend upon Blue Star, they would possess the power to destroy a nation.

This knowledge is not a secret.

It was even written directly in the academic textbooks of high school students across the country.

Even Lin Yi fully understands this.

Lin You will gain more skills as she advances in the future, so Lin Yi will need to take her with him when leveling up. She will likely become an important part of his overall strength in the future, so Lin Yi can't afford to be indifferent.

Thus, the reward Lin Yi had just received for being the top scorer in the province was mostly spent by him.

However, he was also very satisfied, as this boost to his strength was terrifying!
Lin Yi checked the time; it was almost 12:30.

Li Yuanjing had already arranged for a sumptuous lunch to be prepared in the luxurious apartment reserved for Lin Yi.

After having lunch, Lin Yi took a short nap.

When Lin Yi opened his eyes again, it was already past two o'clock. He washed his face and tidied himself up.

He then took out the scroll that Li Yuanjing had given him and crushed it.

The next moment, Lin Yi found himself teleported to a teleportation hall underground in Tianhai.

Li Yuanjing was already waiting for him here.

"coming?"

"It's almost time, let's go."

……

Daxia, Imperial Capital.

This is the heart of the entire Great Xia.

It is also the only special-grade base city in the Great Xia Dynasty.

It is the most powerful manifestation of the human civilization on Earth!
A colossal skyscraper, towering into the clouds, is located at the very center of the first ring road of the entire Imperial Capital City.

The entire Great Xia Dynasty now has three top-level organizations.

First, the Great Xia Professionals Alliance!
Its main responsibility is to manage all unemployed professionals and their guilds throughout the Great Xia Dynasty.

It has the largest number of people!

The most complex management structure ever!

And the widest influence!

Secondly, the Great Xia Professionals Alliance!
In any era, a nation needs a professional, officially recognized military force to establish itself.

In the era of catastrophe, the strength of this army is the ultimate manifestation of the nation's military power!
Therefore, only by becoming a member of the professional alliance can one be qualified to access high-grade equipment!

Finally, the Great Xia Education Bureau!

From high schools in various base cities across the country that cultivate new professionals to top universities that supply talent to professional alliances and professional coalitions.

They are all under the jurisdiction of the Education Bureau.

This concerns the future of all young professionals in Daxia, and the Daxia Education Administration has resources that are not much less than those of the Professionals Alliance.

Second only to the professional coalition.

This towering skyscraper is the Education Bureau, the third largest and most prestigious institution in the Great Xia Dynasty!

At this moment, underground at the Education Bureau.

A beam of light flashed, signaling teleportation.

Lin Yi and Li Yuanjing appeared.

The actual geographical span from Tianhai to the capital is close to 100,000 kilometers. If you take the underground shuttle train, it will take at least ten days.

This is the downside of the abyss descending and the expansion of Earth's territory.

However, the two arrived via the inter-provincial super teleportation array, which took them only about ten minutes.

With Lin Yi's arrival.

He also discovered that there were already hundreds of people standing in this underground space.

With the help of the [All-Knowing Eye], Lin Yi was able to see that people who looked young, like himself, were the cream of the crop, regardless of their level or profession.

Even the lowest level of professions are extremely rare, making me an outlier among them.

There are 34 provinces in the country, and only the top ten from each province are eligible to participate in this fifth round of testing.

These people, including myself, should be among the top 300 in the country.

The moment Lin Yi arrived, an announcement rang out from the loudspeakers in this underground space.

"Dongjiang Province Sends Off Exam Takers—"

"Candidate Lin Yi, points from the first four rounds: 8000!"

"First place in the standings after the first four rounds!"

As soon as the announcer finished speaking, Lin Yi instantly felt hundreds of eyes on him!

He instantly became the focus of the entire room.
