Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

As a "dangerous combat gate," Gate 8's harvest was still very substantial.

First, there's the experience points. Chu Yang, who almost single-handedly slaughtered the White Ape Mountain, unsurprisingly received the highest rating again.

The triple experience reward for clearing the level, plus the experience reward for killing enemies, brought Chu Yang's level to Tier 1, Level 9.

He chose the following three bonus attribute bonuses: +100 health, +1 movement speed, and +4 magic resistance.

And then there's the treasure chest reward: Bloodrage Ring.

Chu Yang obtained a total of one purple treasure chest, three blue treasure chests, and six green treasure chests.

The amount of money spent was 4100.

One purple relic, one blue relic, and one green relic.

One blue rune and two green runes.

One blue skill book and three green skill books.

In previous battles, Chu Yang discovered that the ignition effect of the [Fire God Body] could be negated by the cold effect.

In addition, his ability to stick to people is already very strong, so he doesn't need the slowing effect of the cold air to help keep people in place.

So he decided to replace the cold-element items he was wearing.

Fortunately, some of the items I got this time were usable.

First, regarding the relics, Chu Yang replaced the [Frost Armor - Blue] with a new purple relic, [Substitute Doll - Purple].

【Substitute Doll - Purple】—Immune to one fatal blow. This effect can trigger at most once every 24 hours (within the gate area, the cooldown is reset each time you enter the safe zone).

Although Chu Yang probably won't need this effect in most cases, what if he does?

Who knows if some guy with a penetrating skill might suddenly appear and hit me like that.

After all, he only had one life, and having multiple life-saving effects would always make Chu Yang feel more at ease.

Then he replaced [Frostflower Green] with [Bloodrage Ring Blue].

[Bloodrage Ring - Blue] - When attacked, increases movement speed by 20% and damage by 10% for 3 seconds.

The main benefit of this relic to Chu Yang is the increased movement speed, which further enhances his mobility.

Furthermore, Chu Yang also removed the [Frosty Aura] rune under the [Swarm of Bats Illusion] skill.

There is also a blue rune that is suitable for use by the [Fire God Body].

【Sunflower Blue】—This skill doubles the ignition time and retains one layer of ignition even after triggering an explosion.

Like the cold air, ignition can be stacked up to five times. After five stacks, an explosion is triggered, and the ignition stacks are usually removed after the explosion.

Although Chu Yang doesn't rely on the [Fire God Body] to deal damage, he still needs to equip runes that provide positive benefits.

As for the other items, they no longer offer much improvement for Chu Yang at this point.

Chu Yang looked at the No. 9 light gate that had already appeared. After two more gates, Chu Yang would return to the real world.

At this moment, he no longer felt any fear towards the catwoman outside the gate.

He even started to look forward to giving that catwoman a big surprise!

There is a new door among the three doors at number 9.

The icon on the door is a graphic resembling an unfurling scroll.

Before Chu Yang could even ask, Xiao Men had already given his answer: "This is the [Extreme Challenge Gate], which will award different rewards based on the challengers' rankings."

"This ranking list is called the [Domain Limit Ranking]. It will exist permanently and will continue to generate revenue based on your real-time ranking even after you leave the domain."

Chu Yang asked curiously, "What do you mean by 'continuously generating benefits after I leave the sect's domain'? What exactly are these benefits?"

Xiaomen said, "No comment."

In any case, Chu Yang intends to give any new type of door a try.

Upon entering Gate 9, the scene inside was quite simple: only the snow-white ground beneath his feet, a wooden dummy, and an electronic screen suspended in mid-air.

"The challenge for this extreme test is: Output Capability Challenge."

"Please smash the wooden dummy of difficulty level 1 within one minute after the challenge begins."

The challenge is very clear, and those who have played the game should be quite familiar with it.

Chu Yang did not start the challenge immediately, but instead walked to the electronic screen first.

The electronic screen displayed: [Domain Limit Ranking: Top 100 Output Ability Challenge Results]

Below that are a hundred names, their professions, and their challenge results.

The person ranked first is named Li Yi, a professional greatswordsman.

Challenge results: Difficulty level 6, total output 120,000+

This means that the person with the highest output right now has a total output of 12+ per minute.

[It's just so-so...]

Seeing this ranking, Chu Yang is probably the only person who would have this thought.

In fact, an output of 120,000+ per minute is already quite exaggerated. Take the Orc general as an example; even the ones with higher health would not reach 10,000 at Tier 1.

This means that, given a favorable environment, this greatswordsman named Li Yi could kill more than ten orc generals in a minute.

This output capability is already abnormally high for a first-order gate domain.

But who can blame them when there's a cheat code like Chu Yang in the sect?

In short, after glancing at the score of the person ranked first, Chu Yang lost interest in looking at the rest.

He walked up to the wooden stake of difficulty level one and confirmed that he was about to begin the challenge.

The wooden dummy at difficulty level 1 only has 5,000 health points.

"Snapped!"

Chu Yang snapped his fingers.

The one-minute countdown stopped as soon as it began.

"Output ability challenge, difficulty one completed, difficulty two wooden dummy has been generated, please break the wooden dummy within one minute after confirmation."

"Snapped!"

"Output capability challenge, difficulty level two completed..."

"Snapped!"

"Output capability challenge, difficulty level 3 completed..."

"Snapped!"

"Output capability challenge, difficulty level four completed..."

"Snapped!"

"Output capability challenge, difficulty level 5 completed..."

Chu Yang snapped his fingers five times, thus completing the first five difficulties.

The sixth difficulty level of the wooden stakes has appeared, with a health bar of up to 20!

but……

"Snapped!"

"Output Ability Challenge, Difficulty 6 completed. Your challenge score currently ranks first among all first-tier gate pushers."

"The highest difficulty training dummy has been generated. Please achieve your highest DPS within one minute of confirmation."

The highest difficulty level is level seven, and its health is infinite.

Chu Yang didn't immediately challenge the opponent. Instead, he glanced at his shield value and showed a surprised expression.

Do you still remember the [Afterglow Core - Pink] and [Bloodthirsty Pendant - Purple] that Chu Yang carried?

The combined effect of these two relics is to convert 20% of the damage Chu Yang deals into a shield value.

In the previous level, Chu Yang discovered that the two relic combinations were not as overpowered as he had imagined, because his enemies had a limited amount of health, and damage exceeding that amount was not converted.

But the wooden dummy in front of him now has a very high amount of health.

At that moment, Chu Yang, who had shattered the six wooden dummies in front of him, had accumulated a shield value of over 34.

Regardless of whether such a high shield is truly necessary, Chu Yang believes that the more shield value one has, the better.

Now, there's only one wooden dummy left, and this one has unlimited health.

The only downside is that he couldn't damage the stakes until he confirmed he was starting the challenge.

So, he still has one minute to use this infinitely healthy wooden dummy to stack shield value.
