Kill one monster, stack one poison, and I alone will poison my way across the world!

The hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Only the specks of light that Yulia had transformed into continued to drift down in mid-air, like an eerie rain of light.

in the corner.

Forty-eight senior students, their skin covered in blood, stared blankly at the huge open space in the center of the hall.

A full five seconds passed.

"Holy crap..."

Zhang Ming suddenly shuddered.

The curse seemed to break some kind of spell.

"It's...it's been upgraded!"

Chen Shan stared at the system notification flashing wildly on his retina, his voice cracking, "I leveled up! My experience bar is over level 30! When I first entered the dungeon, it was barely 15%!"

"I got promoted too!!"

"My god... is the experience from a legendary boss really that terrifying?! That's equivalent to three months of grinding in the wild!"

"..."

The deathly silent hall instantly transformed into a bustling marketplace.

These top senior students, who are usually aloof and admired by countless people at school, are now like novice gamers who have just left the village, their faces flushed as they rub their hands together and frantically open the panel to allocate skill points.

The ecstasy of surviving the ordeal, coupled with the influx of massive amounts of experience, made them completely forget the fear of almost being instantly killed.

Li Huo'er was so excited that tears almost fell. She glanced at her panel and then suddenly turned to look at the center of the hall.

Su Chen was standing where Yulia had disappeared.

He didn't even glance at the group of bosses who were as excited as monkeys.

What does the boss's upgrade have to do with him?

He only cares about what's been leaked.

His gaze fell on the mess of stone bricks scattered on the ground.

There, three orbs of light floated quietly.

Two dark gold colors.

There was another one, radiating a heart-stirring, rich orange-red glow, like the mellow glow of a sunset.

Legendary!

"Good luck."

Su Chen's eyes lit up.

Defeating a legendary boss once will drop a legendary piece of equipment; this drop rate is already above average.

He strode over, not even glancing at the two dark golden orbs, and reached out to touch the orange-red orb in the middle.

The light dissipated.

A tattered battle flag, about the size of a palm, made entirely of the bones of some unknown behemoth and inlaid with dark gold runes, lay quietly in his palm.

The system panel pops up automatically.

The Banner of Glory of the Kingdom of Ansu (Legendary)

[Rank: Legendary]

[Usage Requirements: Level 35]

【Spirit +2000】

[Stamina +1500]

[Additional Attribute 1: Majesty of the King (Passive): Increases Spirit attribute by an additional 40% and Stamina attribute by an additional 30%.]

[Additional Attribute 2: Legion Frenzy (Active): Plant your battle banner in the ground, creating a [Frenzy Field] with a radius of 1000 meters.

……

Su Chen stared at the panel in front of him, his breath catching in his throat.

then.

Holy shit.

He cursed inwardly.

This isn't equipment.

This is a fucking cheat upgrade pack!

The fact that the "Rallying Horn" could summon a thousand Imperial Guards of the same rank was already outrageous enough.

Now, add this battle flag to the mix...

The number has doubled to two thousand!

Attack speed and movement speed doubled!

It also comes with 20% lifesteal and super armor!

A scene instantly flashed through Su Chen's mind: he blew the horn, and two thousand Imperial Guards, in a frenzy, glowing red, invincible and able to suck blood, rolled over the enemy's position like bulldozers.

Add to that his more than 30,000 Corrosive Serpent Guards that can spit saliva like crazy from behind.

"From now on, I'm no longer afraid of being outnumbered."

While mentally ranting, Su Chen deftly stuffed the battle flag into the special accessory slot.

"Gulp."

Suddenly, a series of synchronized swallowing sounds filled the hall.

Su Chen turned his head.

In the corner, forty-eight senior elites had already completed their skill point allocation.

They stared intently at the spot where Su Chen had just put the backpack, their eyes gleaming with greed, their Adam's apples bobbing.

Legendary item!

They saw it clearly just now; that dazzling orange-red light was definitely a genuine legendary level!

In this world, a single epic-level piece of equipment can bankrupt an ordinary family.

And the legendary level...

That's something that can't be measured in gold coins.

Especially the legendary items dropped in the Calamity-level dungeons, many of which have terrifying mechanics that can change the course of the battlefield.

That's a strategic weapon that can influence the operations of legions of hundreds of thousands, or even millions!

If you take it out to sell, the military of the Great Hua Empire will offer an exorbitant price to snatch it!

Who wouldn't be envious?

This is legendary!

If I could get my hands on it...

"What's wrong?"

Su Chen toyed with the staff in his hand, his gaze sweeping over the group of bosses whose eyes were practically glowing green.

A half-smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Trying to rob me?"

These four seemingly insignificant words, however, were more terrifying to the forty-eight people than Yulia's full-screen ultimate attack.

"Whoosh—"

The forty-eight people felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over them from head to toe, instantly sobering them up.

The scene of Yulia being instantly vaporized, the scene of the three snake guards blocking the Demon Well and spewing poison, and the tragic scene of Li Qiang's gruesome death...

Images flashed through their minds like a revolving lantern.

grab?

Want to steal a monster that can solo a legendary boss and deal billions of damage?

They probably don't want to die fast enough!

"No, no, no! Su Shen, you're joking!"

Zhang Ming reacted the fastest. He suddenly took two steps back, and the greed on his face instantly turned into a fawning smirk as he shook his head like a rattle drum.

"How could that be! You soloed this, it should belong to you according to the rules! We were just looking... to broaden our horizons!"

"Yes, yes, yes! We're just here to take a look!"

Chen Shan quickly chimed in, wiping the cold sweat from his brow, "Su Shen's divine might is unparalleled! This equipment can only reach its full potential in your hands! It would be a waste for us noobs to get it!"

"Su Shen, please don't misunderstand, we absolutely have no ulterior motives!"

Li Huo'er quickly chimed in, her smile as sincere as could be.

Su Chen looked at the group of elites who had instantly turned into sycophants and shook his head with amusement.

"Alright, stop flattering me."

He turned around and picked up the two remaining purple orbs from the ground.

Two epic-level equipment items.

One piece of armor increases stamina and defense, and the other is boots that increase agility.

The attributes are good, but they're not very useful to Su Chen.

What excited him was a strange core that was entirely azure blue and emitted a dotted glow.

It's the Energy Core, the quest item that didn't drop during the last solo run!

"Okay, that's all for today."

Su Chen stretched, his bones making a "crackling" sound.

"That's it for the day, time to go home."

He tapped the ground with his staff and walked towards the portal in the center of the hall that led to the outside world.

The quest item is in hand; it's time to find Lin Xiaotian!
