I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

"This is the Tower of Divine Refinement?"

Standing in a square paved with marble, Lu Yun was filled with curiosity.

This place is completely different from the secret realm. There is no sky here. Although I don't know where the light comes from, the sky is black.

Moreover, this is not the only place here; there is clearly a large space outside the plaza, but it is shrouded in black mist and cannot be seen clearly.

Lu Yun looked around and then looked suspiciously at the sky.

"That's weird. How do I beat this level? Am I just supposed to stand there and do nothing?"

[New challenger detected!]

Welcome, brave professional!

Please name yourself, or choose to use your real name. When you reach the top 100, your name will be engraved on the Divine Refinement Stele!

Seeing the dialog box and countdown that appeared in front of him, Lu Yun chose his real name without thinking.

In the past, he would definitely have used an alias, but now, firstly, he has the ability to protect himself and is not afraid of any danger; secondly, because of the world announcement, he can no longer hide himself even if he wanted to.

Besides, since the purpose was to suppress the arrogance of professionals from other countries, using their real names would be much better.

You have chosen to use your real name!

[Start the first level?]

Seeing this, Lu Yun didn't hesitate and immediately clicked "yes".

[The first challenge is about to begin!]

Countdown: 0:9:59

Countdown: 0:9:58

【…】

Seeing the countdown appear before him, Lu Yun understood that this was the final preparation time given to professionals.

However, he didn't care and even felt it was a waste of time.

But since he had nothing better to do, he opened the skill bar and began to think about which skill to use later.

Having too many skills can be quite a hassle.

He definitely couldn't use the gold and silver skills; he didn't dare gamble on the strength of the Divine Refining Tower, so he could only use the minor skills.

"Forget it, it's all about clearing the game anyway. I'll try out the new gold skills in a bigger dungeon."

The waiting time was tedious, and Lu Yun was speechless until the countdown finally ended.

With a beep, a huge figure instantly appeared in the square.

It was a black bull standing upright, wielding a double-edged giant axe. It was 5 meters tall, with bulging muscles and wearing armor. It looked like the most perfect example of muscular violence and was terrifying.

[Tiger (Phantom) - Progenitor Minotaur Leader] (Legend)

[Race]: Orc

[Level]: Lv150

[Physical Attack]: 123788-148459

[Magic Attack]: 79233-89823

[Health Points]: 25612835

[Mana Points]: 22934995

[Skills]: Slash, Splash Damage, War Stomp, Savage Charge

After looking at the illustrations, Lu Yun couldn't help but frown.

2560 million HP, 14 attack power, level 150.

Putting these three sets of data together is highly unreasonable.

"These are the panel data for Purgatory Mode, and the first level is already level 150. No wonder people who challenge the tower can't get through many levels."

The first level is 150, and it will only get higher and higher. I'm afraid that by level 99, it will be over a thousand levels, no, it might be even higher.

Moreover, by observing the data of this first boss, Lu Yun discovered some bad news.

Qi Huanyu had previously told him that, for some reason, other foreign forces had started sending their new generation of fighters to challenge the tower.

According to the latest information, the highest level among the 12 freshmen has reached level 15, and the lowest level is level 9.

That means they were able to kill this Hell Mode level BOSS single-handedly.

The level 150 bosses are manageable; although Zhao Qing and her group haven't reached the third job advancement yet, they can still handle them even with full power. However, the level 200 and 300 bosses are beyond their capabilities.

This means that their professional characteristics and strength are stronger than most gold-tier professions, and even stronger than Mu Qingcheng's.

This is definitely not good news.

However, now is not the time to think about that; clearing the level is the priority.

"I just don't know if this Refining God Tower is a separate space or a universal space. If it's a universal space, I might be able to encounter other professionals."

"Oh dear, I was careless. I should have asked Director Qi or the old man beforehand."

Lu Yun shook his head, then took out his staff, pointed it at the minotaur, and laughed.

"Come on, let me see what's going on."

Upon seeing this, the BOSS's eyes narrowed, and then he immediately roared to the sky.

"Humble ants! How dare they look gods in the eye!!!"

"War tramples!!!"

The BOSS suddenly raised his left foot and slammed it hard on the ground.

"Bang!!!"

A huge, fan-shaped transparent wave, carrying the shattered floor, rushed straight towards Lu Yun. Upon seeing this, Lu Yun frowned slightly and muttered something.

"This boss is actually conscious..."

He glanced at the incoming attack, making no attempt to dodge, letting the vibrations sweep over his body and kick up a cloud of dust.

Upon seeing this, the BOSS burst into laughter.

"You lowly ant! This is the consequence of your defiance of the gods!"

"Die!!!"

After saying that, the BOSS suddenly raised the giant axe in his hand and was about to jump up and chop, but at that moment, Lu Yun's voice suddenly came from the dust and smoke.

"That's indeed Hell Mode level damage, so... you can die now."

"Ice Spike!"

"Whoosh!"

"puff!!!"

-6102938

Seeing the ice spike, as thick as a water bucket, fly out of the dust and smoke and pierce his chest in the blink of an eye, the BOSS's pupils shrank, and he stared in disbelief at Lu Yun, who was gradually taking shape.

"This, how is this possible..."

"Bang!"

The minotaur lay back with its massive body, smashing out countless gold coins and materials before being lulled to sleep.

[You have slain the Primal Tauren Commander - Warrior Tiger (phantom), experience points +30]

[Would you like to proceed to the next level?]

Lu Yun didn't confirm because he wanted to test it out.

After all, he knew very little about the Refining God Tower.

The only good news is that, thanks to his unicorn talent, he no longer needs to pick up items; the boss drops items that automatically fly into his inventory. However, these items are all rather unreliable.

"Never mind, I'll take it as a reward after the city is built."

The boss only drops gold coins and forging materials, a considerable amount, but none of them are usable.

"The gold set is still too overpowered. To upgrade the forging, you need gold materials starting from level 200. Luckily, I still have an upgrade scroll, which I can use to upgrade later. It will probably cost a lot of money."

Lu Yun was quite troubled, finally understanding why even someone as powerful as Qi Huanyu didn't have a full set of equipment or equipment with low crafting quality.

This thing is a bottomless pit.

After organizing his backpack and reviewing the descriptions of his talents and skills, Lu Yun spent a full half hour on this first level.

Of course, it wasn't a waste of time. He discovered that his proficiency with Ice Spike had indeed increased much more than outside, meaning that using skills here could indeed level them up quickly.

This was good news, but it also made him even more worried.

If he wants to upgrade his skills, he must reduce the damage, but this will slow down his progress.

However, if you want to pass the level quickly, you can't upgrade your skills.

Unless he keeps using Ice Spike to get to level 99, there's a high chance he can upgrade Ice Spike to level 2.

The key point is that skill upgrades provide significant improvements, increasing damage, effects, and duration.

"Forget it, let's clear the level quickly first. The level of the Dragon Kingdom has too much of an impact on the Dragon Kingdom now. Let's suppress those bastards first. Anyway, level 1 damage is enough. We'll think of other ways later."

"Why……"

"Sometimes being too strong can be a problem."

Thinking of this, Lu Yun clicked to start the next level.

The next instant, his vision blurred, and he found himself in a huge square.

The familiar level confirmation and countdown also appeared.
