Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 181 A Clear Mind! The Last Weak Link Completed!
[Ding! You have killed the Molten Lord Balan!]

[Due to the influence of the cultivation technique "True Explanation of the Two Elements of the Great Void", the experience point multiplier is now set at 250%!]

[Defeat a Lord-level creature that is significantly stronger than you and gain an extra 100% experience!]

You have gained 48.8 experience points!

[Mission completed! You have gained 50 experience points and +15 skill points!]

[Gluttony mechanic triggered! You have gained +227.5 Strength, +306.1 Stamina, +233.2 Agility, and +119.4 Spirit!]

[You have gained a special attribute: Fire Attribute Energy Affinity +226!]

Your level has been increased to LV40!

You have gained 8 free attribute points!

You have gained 2 skill points!

A series of system notifications flooded Lin Ye's mind, and an unimaginably powerful warmth surged through his body.

Two promotions in a row!

Just by killing a monster in Balan, plus the quest rewards, he jumped from level 38 to level 40.

In addition, Lin Ye also felt a tremendous upheaval within his body.

The newfound power surged like a tide, with a massive amount of primordial energy spontaneously generated, even giving Lin Ye the illusion that it was about to burst him apart.

Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a huge weight lifted from his heart.

at last!

The third phase of the mission is finally complete!
As soon as Lin Ye had a thought, the enormous giant composed of countless corpses and mycelium began to rapidly disintegrate.

The flesh and mycelium covering his body lost their activity in an instant, turning into pools of black, viscous liquid that peeled off his body, seeped into the scalding ground below, and made a sizzling sound before being completely evaporated.

Lin Ye's figure reappeared before everyone.

Before Dongfang Zhen and the others could say anything, the entire Tianyuan Fragment World seemed to begin to tremble violently.

Rumble——!
The ground beneath his feet shook violently, and Lin Ye could even see earthquake waves visible to the naked eye!

The volcano next to us, after its plume of smoke had been suspended for several minutes, suddenly erupted with an unprecedented ferocity, more than ten times greater!

A devastating shockwave swept outwards, visible to the naked eye.

Then came a cloud of volcanic ash rising straight into the sky!

Large amounts of dark red volcanic fragments were ejected into the sky like meteors, and then crashed down!

A massive flow of pyroclastic material began to cascade down the slopes of Mount Doom, resembling the most terrifying avalanche!

"go!"

Yin Liulan's voice rang out.

A gentle yet irresistible force swept up Lin Ye, Dongfang Zhen, and the unconscious Zhang Daoxuan, and flew them toward the three military fighter jets that were already hovering high in the sky.

The cabin door opened, and Lin Ye and the other two were placed directly into the back seats by Yin Liulan, while Dongfang Zhen helped Zhang Daoxuan to his feet.

Lin Ye glanced subconsciously at Zhang Daoxuan, who was still unconscious, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

This guy is so thoughtful.

He initially just wanted to call people over to help, but he didn't expect that Zhang Daoxuan would report it immediately after receiving the news and call over a large number of instructors.

Furthermore, there is Yin Liulan, a powerful expert at the Celestial Realm.

Otherwise, the outcome today would be hard to predict.

Even if he were to be alright, Lin Ye would still feel guilty if something happened to Dongfang Zhen and Zhang Daoxuan, the two people who came to help him.

Before long, instructors such as Nie Cang below also boarded the plane.

The moment the hatch closed, the engines of the three fighter jets roared, their tails spewing out eerie blue flames, and they sped away into the distance at an incredible speed.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The three loud bangs rang out almost simultaneously.

Three enormous blue orbs of light suddenly exploded in front of the fighter jet, forming a distorted spatial vortex.

That was the spatial force field unleashed by the spatial folding device.

Lin Ye looked through the porthole at the world below that was heading towards destruction.

That one glance left him deeply shaken.

The mountain of Mount Doom broke in half, and the massive upper half was propelled into the air by an unparalleled force.

Endless magma, no longer flowing, erupted from the crack in the earth's core like a bursting dam, engulfing the land and swallowing everything.

The sky was dyed an ominous crimson, millions of tons of volcanic ash obscured the sun, and violent lightning raged in the dark gray clouds.

This is an apocalyptic spectacle that could never be seen on Earth, enough to destroy a world.

"Pity."

Yin Liulan's voice rang in everyone's ears.

"After this catastrophe, the Nirvana Tower will lose its original purpose of training, and all living beings in this fragmented space will be completely destroyed."

As soon as she finished speaking, the fighter jet flew straight towards the bursting blue light curtain in front of it.

Lin Ye even saw the training camp on the other side of the light screen.

The fighter jets passed through this wormhole-like membrane.

The next moment, the view outside the window suddenly changed.

The burning, apocalyptic inferno has vanished, replaced by the familiar valleys and buildings of the training camp.

The fighter jet landed smoothly on the tarmac.

As soon as the hatch opened, Zhou Yan immediately carried the still unconscious Zhang Daoxuan on his back and rushed towards the infirmary without looking back. Dongfang Zhen followed beside him; he was also slightly injured.

They were going to find Su Yunjin.

The other instructors also left one after another.

In the blink of an eye, only Lin Ye and Yin Liulan remained on the tarmac.

Yin Liulan didn't speak, but just stared quietly at Lin Ye.

Her gaze seemed to penetrate flesh and blood, revealing all the secrets hidden within his body.

Lin Ye felt a little uneasy under her gaze, and his whole body felt uncomfortable.

Finally, Yin Liulan slowly spoke: "I don't know what secrets you hold."

"But you can't fool my eyes. You've become stronger, and not just a little bit."

Her tone was calm, but it made Lin Ye's heart skip a beat.

"That's a good thing, and I won't pry into your real secrets."

"But I hope you can use this power to fight against alien races."

Tell me, can you?

The moment the words fell, an indescribable, terrifying pressure emanated from Yin Liulan and enveloped Lin Ye.

Lin Ye felt as if he were being crushed by an invisible mountain, making it difficult to even breathe.

At that very moment, in his field of vision, a line of system icons that he had never seen before appeared above Yin Liulan's head. They were so red they were almost black, and they even looked like they were dripping blood.

【LV.91】!
Lin Ye's pupils suddenly contracted.

Level 91!
Is this level only the Celestial Realm?
It seems that the levels corresponding to each major realm cannot be calculated entirely based on 10 levels per major realm.

Faced with Yin Liulan's seemingly casual question, Lin Ye had a strong premonition that he couldn't say anything against his conscience.

Once spoken, one's consciousness will suffer irreparable damage.

This is... the legendary question between heaven and man!
After a martial artist enters the Divine Intent Realm, the main focus of strengthening is their sea of ​​consciousness and spiritual power. When they reach the Celestial Realm, this ability undergoes a qualitative change.

Under absolute suppression, lies have nowhere to hide.

Lin Ye took a deep breath, facing the overwhelming pressure that seemed to crush him, and solemnly spoke, word by word:
"I will leave no one alive; I will kill every single one I see!"

This was a heartfelt vow he made, and he had a clear conscience.

Ever since his father was seriously wounded on the front lines, the seed of revenge had been planted in his heart.

These alien races deserve to die!

The next moment, the terrifying pressure vanished.

Yin Liulan seemed satisfied with the answer, and without saying anything more, turned to leave.

However, after taking only two steps, she seemed to remember something, suddenly stopped, and turned back to ask:
"You should have an account at the peak of martial arts, right? Is it in the rising star ranking?"

Although Lin Ye didn't understand why she suddenly asked this, he still nodded.

"There are still three or four days until the camp closes."

"If you have nothing to do during this time, go and try to improve your ranking in the Rising Stars Rank."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving only her back view and her last words.

"If you want to get a better Martial Hall contract."

As Yin Liulan walked away, a ripple of emotion, unfamiliar even to herself, stirred within her heart.

What's wrong with me today?
How could he possibly harbor a hint of... hostility towards a junior?
No, it can't be called hostility.

Soon, Yin Liulan understood.

Since she began teaching, she has never felt any emotion called "threat" from any of her students.

But just now, in that instant, she felt it on Lin Ye.

Even if it's so faint as to be almost negligible.

The speed at which this kid is catching up to her in terms of realm and strength... is simply too fast, so fast that it has even made her feel a little alarmed. That's why she asked this question today.

……

On the other side, Lin Ye instantly understood what Yin Liulan meant.

He initially attracted the attention of the Fire of Martial Arts Hall precisely because of his outstanding performance at the pinnacle of martial arts.

If I can reach a higher ranking in the rising star sequence, such as the top 1,000 or even the top 100.

Then he could completely enter the sights of all the headhunters in the Martial Hall, and even the higher-ups.

At that time, it will be much easier to get a better contract and obtain the invaluable Dao Dust.

Since entering the training camp, he has been either killing monsters and leveling up in the Nirvana Tower or preparing to break through to the Condensation Realm, and has indeed not been online for a long time.

Well, after I've tallied up what I've gained this time and added all my points, I'll go online and continue playing ranked matches.

The moment Lin Ye had this thought, a familiar notification sound rang in his mind.

[Ding! Host's intention to climb to the summit has been detected. Challenge mission issued!]

With absolute power, let those foolish adventurers tremble before your tyranny!

[Mission Name: A New History!]

[Mission Objective: Log in to the pinnacle of martial arts, complete the ranking matches in the Martial Arts Rising Star sequence, and break the record for the longest winning streak ever set!]

[Current progress: 124-game winning streak / 166-game winning streak]

[Mission Rewards: 30 Experience Points, 5 Skill Points!]

[Special Reward: Spiritual Array Awakening Progress +50~100%!]

[Note: After achieving a 166-win streak, the host will directly receive 50% of the Spiritual Array Awakening progress. As the winning streak increases, special rewards will continue to accumulate until the maximum progress reaches 100%!]

[Excess awakening progress will be converted into reserves for the host's next awakening of martial arts spirituality, but this will be adjusted based on the difficulty of the second martial arts spirituality the host is about to awaken.]

Lin Ye was stunned.

The system really understands him!
Continuing to rank up is in order to get a better contract.

A better contract is essentially about making it easier to obtain more Dao Dust.

But now, the system is directly placing the martial arts spiritual awakening progress reward in front of him, which is within easy reach.

This is like a pillow delivered just when you're about to fall asleep.

Lin Ye instantly felt full of energy.

These two things are not contradictory at all.

Even with the system's help, his martial arts innate talent awakened ahead of schedule.

If I get a high-level contract later, I won't waste any more Dao Dust.

These inquiries into the Dao Dust allow him to further strengthen his already awakened spirituality, and even induce the next one.

You can never have too much of this kind of good stuff!

Lin Ye returned to his detached villa, too lazy to even brush off the dust, and immediately opened his personal panel.

[Host: Lin Ye]

[Race: Orc Shieldbearer]

[Level: LV.40 (124471/900000)]

[Evolutionary Level: 2.0]

[Health Points: Please allocate/Please allocate/523621]

[Energy: 60500/60500]

Stamina: 124464/124464

[BOSS Mechanics: Out-of-Combat Health Regeneration (White), Soul Forge (Green), Crushing Blow (Green), Gluttony (Purple), Phase Transition (Green), Unstoppable (Blue)]

[Current Stages: P1, P2, P3; other stages are not yet unlocked]

【Strength: 7546.9】

[Agility: 7599.8]

[Endurance: 7644.6]

【Spirit: 6027.4】

[Free attribute points: 8]

Skill Points: 25

[P1 Skills: Normal Attack (LV.MAX), Thick Skin (LV.MAX), Charged Strike (LV.MAX), Staff Stance (LV.5), Spear Stance (LV.MAX)]

[P2 Skills: Berserk (LV.MAX), Teleport (LV.MAX), Fighting Spirit (LV.MAX), Cleave (LV.8), Counterattack (LV.1)]

[P3 Skills: Mind Mirror (Unlockable), Elemental Mastery (Unlockable), Summon Minions (Unlockable), Castling (Unlockable)]

Temporary Skills: Crystallization, Shadow Scales, Silk Puppets

[Passive Racial Trait: Wrathful Gaze Subdues Demons]

The attribute value has surged again.

Before Lin Ye could examine his own panel attributes, a series of new system notifications followed.

[After the host enters the third stage, the base attribute points gained per level will change from an increase of 2 points to an increase of 4 points in all attributes.]

The number of free attribute points gained per level has increased from 2 to 4.

The attribute points rewarded from all daily and weekly tasks have been increased to four times the original amount.

[The above effects will be applied to all previous stat allocations by the host. The current panel shows the adjusted panel!]

Same as when P2 was unlocked last time.

After entering P3, the system updated all his original attribute point rewards again.

That's why his panel attributes have surged again this time!
Lin Ye felt the excess Qi within his body, which was nearly three times larger than before. It surged through his meridians, almost overflowing.

He smiled wryly and shook his head.

How many source crystals would it take to completely refine and compress these nascent forces into a solid state?
This is really a happy trouble.

Lin Ye first looked at his health bar.

The words "Please allocate" appeared again there.

Now that he has three phases, he naturally needs to redistribute his more than 500,000 health points among the three different phases.

After a moment's thought, Lin Ye finally decided to allocate 1 health points to Phase 1.

Phase 2 allocates 5 health points.

The rest will all be left for the final P3 phase.

The reason is the same as before: the previous stages are only used to increase fault tolerance.

Maximizing combat power should ideally be reserved for the final stage.

Then, Lin Ye looked at his skill points.

Previously, when he was frantically leveling up in the Nirvana Tower, Lin Ye had refrained from adding any skill points.

His goal was to wait until P3 was unlocked to see what powerful new skills were available before making any further plans.

Now, his 25 skill points have finally found a use.

Lin Ye's attention immediately focused on the row of brand-new unlockable skills in Phase 3.

The first one is [Lingtai Mingjing].

[Lingtai Mingjing LV1]

[Skill Type: Passive]

[Consumption: None]

[Effect: Your mind is as calm as a mirror. When you use any skills that consume mental energy or martial arts spirituality, the energy consumption is reduced by 2%, and the growth potential of your mental attribute is increased to 1.1 times.]

The maximum level for this skill is LV5.

[Note: Originally there was nothing, so where could dust settle?]

With a thought, Lin Ye opened the skill preview mode and directly dragged the level to the maximum level of LV5.

The effect of 【Lingtai Mingjing LV5】was immediately apparent.

The consumption reduction jumped from 2% to 10%.

The growth potential of the Spirit attribute has also increased from 1.1 times to 1.5 times.

This effect is exactly the same as his Phase 1 [Thick Skin] and Phase 2 [Fighting Bloodline].

These are all top-tier passive skills that directly affect his basic attributes.

Lin Ye acted almost without hesitation.

He immediately allocated 5 skill points to max out this skill!
[Ding! You have unlocked and upgraded your passive skill, "Clear Mind Mirror," by consuming 5 skill points!]

[Current skill level has been upgraded to LVMAX!]

At this point, the growth potential of his four basic attributes—strength, agility, endurance, and spirit—all experienced a qualitative leap.

His last weakness has been completely overcome!
Moreover, this skill also comes with the additional effect of reducing mental energy consumption.

Lin Ye could only say, "Greatness, no further words are needed!"
