The quality of the treasure chests I open will always increase by 3.

The assassin immediately went into stealth mode again.

The skill is strong potential, but the cooldown time is extremely long.

Seeing the assassin disappear again, Lin Yuan sneered.

In fact, he could have used the same trick again, pulling the BOSS away once more. In that case, the assassin would have been caught in a dilemma: to chase or not to chase.

But Lin Yuan was afraid that he wouldn't pursue him this time.

Then I'll just knock you out!

He decisively activated the active effects of the Moon Goddess Necklace.

A gigantic figure appeared and began bombarding the area below.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A figure was immediately blasted out, looking extremely disheveled. Lin Yuan caught up in one stride, thrusting out his Blood Shadow Sword in quick succession.

Dance of Thunder!

-12244.

A damage number popped up, and Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, thinking, "This defense is pretty good."

Logically, once he uses a skill, the damage value should be constant, unlike a normal attack which will only approach the strength value and it is difficult to guarantee that every hit will deal the strength value damage. But skills are different; they are based on the strength value.

This attack should have dealt 14850 damage, but more than 2000 of it was negated, which is astonishing.

Keep in mind that Lin Yuan is using a shield, and he also has the Shield Mountain talent, so his damage reduction is only 4000 points.

If the other party knew, they would definitely cry foul.

What level are you? What level am I?

Moreover, my level is above 50, and I have the True Essence attribute. With the True Essence enhancing my defense, is reducing your damage by more than 2000 points considered high?

Not at all!

The assassin's face changed color. Lin Yuan's attack had almost taken away most of his health. Another blow would be the death of him!

What kind of monster is this? We're both level 50+, but your damage is ridiculously high.

He quickly activated his true energy to form a shield around himself, saying, "I am Zhou Yalong, the son of Zhou Qishan, the vice president of the Aoshi Guild. Stop right now, I'll turn around and leave, and I will never fight you for the BOSS again."

If Lin Yuan kills him, all his efforts over the past few hours will have been wasted!

No, my experience bar is reset to zero, and I'll even drop a level. It's a complete loss.

Add to that the cost of buying the secret realm map... and it's a complete loss.

Therefore, he immediately revealed his identity, hoping to intimidate Lin Yuan and prevent him from actually being "killed".

but!

It would have been better if he hadn't revealed his identity; now that he has, does he still expect Lin Yuan to let him go?

Think beautiful!

Moreover, the special effects of the Moon Goddess Necklace have already been activated and cannot be stopped.

"We're going to kill the Aoshi Guild!" Lin Yuan said coldly.

He didn't know if either of the two assassins from yesterday was sent by the Aoshi Guild. It didn't matter. In his mind, suspicion was the best policy—I physically eliminated all my enemies, so did it matter who sent the assassin?

"Damn it—" Zhou Yalong wanted to curse again, but with the Moon God's Radiance once again crushing him, plus Lin Yuan's cleaving slash, he was instantly reduced to shattered shadows and disappeared.

At the same time, the BOSS also crashed to the ground and disappeared in a flash.

You have killed a Forest Walker and gained 10% experience points.

Wait, instead of giving thousands or tens of thousands of experience points, they're giving 10% directly!

The boss is so generous!

Unfortunately, the boss dropped two pieces of silver equipment and a skill book, but no treasure chest.

Lin Yuan glanced at them and saw that both pieces of equipment were level 50. Even if he could wear them, let alone not be able to, he would never exchange diamond or even star gear for silver gear; that would be crazy.

What about skill books?

[Skill Book: Poisoning (Rank D)] Teaches you how to use poison. Required Level: 50.

【Poisoning (Rank D)】Apply poison to your weapon. Each time you hit a target with this weapon, there is a 10% chance that the target will be poisoned and lose an additional amount of health equal to your Strength. This damage is not reduced by Constitution and lasts for 10 minutes.

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. This skill is pretty good. Although the activation rate is a bit low, the damage is not reduced by physical constitution.

"It is not affected by physical constitution, but it is affected by true essence."

This is a level 50 skill, and after level 50, everyone will have the True Essence attribute, so this skill is not as wonderful as it seems.

"Unfortunately, you need to be level 50 to learn it."

Lin Yuan casually put away the spoils, then summoned Little Black: "Go find me someone!"

Xiao Hei was his pet beast, and they were of one mind. So, he only needed to think of Zhou Yalong's appearance in his mind, and Xiao Hei would naturally know who he was looking for.

"Awooo!" it responded and immediately darted off.

Lin Yuan continued to grind monsters.

We're here to level up, so we can't waste this opportunity.

Half an hour later, a message suddenly came back from Xiao Hei's side.

Target identified.

Lin Yuan then moved towards Xiao Hei's direction, but along the way he killed any monsters he encountered, not wasting any time.

You have to kill people, but you can't stop leveling up either; you have to manage both.

A few minutes later, Lin Yuan descended from the sky with a group of monsters.

"Found you!"

He landed like a flying general, wiping out both people and monsters in one fell swoop.

—In fact, the more monsters there are, the higher his damage will be. Skills like Cleave, Thunder Dance, and Sweep are all area-of-effect damage skills. As long as there are enough monsters, he can unleash the terrifying passive damage effect of Blood Shadow Sword.

Zhou Yalong watched as damage numbers kept popping up above his head. Before he could even react, his health bar was completely depleted.

The next moment, he reappeared at the respawn point.

He was revived after a minute.

"Damn bastard!" Zhou Yalong couldn't help but roar.

He was originally level 56 and had hoped to use this dungeon to grind monsters and reach level 58, or at the very least level 57. But now?

It's now level 54!

Even if he grinds monsters like crazy, he can only level up to level 56 at most.

Once you reach level 50, how difficult is it to level up once?

In less than an hour, he lost all the hard work he had put in the previous month!

Moreover, many of these were experiences gained from the BOSS, which have now all been returned.

"I will never forgive you!" He clenched his fists tightly.

Lin Yuan!

He recognized the man who had killed him—the rising star!

But... how could a mere newbie, at most level 20 or so, kill me, who was level 56?

It was almost a one-second kill?

Moreover, this is a level 50 secret realm, so how did Lin Yuan get in?

He was puzzled.

After sulking for a while, he could only continue fighting monsters, trying to salvage some of his losses.

About half an hour later, Lin Yuan reappeared and, just like last time, sent him back to the respawn point again.

Level 53!

Zhou Yalong was devastated; he had truly suffered a terrible loss.

How will he explain this to his father after he gets out?

The family has invested so much in him this time, hoping he would quickly break through level 60, but instead, he's getting further and further away from level 60, while level 50 seems more attainable.

But he soon realized that he didn't need to worry about dropping to level 50 at all, because this was just the beginning.

Just over ten minutes later, Lin Yuan appeared again.

This time, Zhou Yalong was finally prepared and quickly entered stealth mode.

Unfortunately, stealth only makes someone difficult to detect. It's like forcibly blinding a normal person, but they can still hit someone with their weapon.

So, Lin Yuan led a group of monsters around and used the Destruction Storm to create area damage, which forcibly "blasted" him out again.

Zhou Yalong, died.

Level 52.

Then, he became level 51, then level 50!

When he dropped to level 50, Zhou Yalong finally got scared.

If it drops another level, it will experience a qualitative decline.

—I can't wear the gear anymore!

His silver equipment was naturally all level 50, so once he dropped to level 49, the level 50 equipment would no longer be effective!

How terrible is this?

Superstar is all about equipment!

How much can you gain from just leveling up or using attribute stones occasionally?

At that time, Lin Yuan won't even need to hunt him down; the monsters here alone will be able to easily kill him!

Therefore, after being resurrected this time, he didn't even dare to fight monsters. Instead, he immediately entered stealth mode and planned to just wait until the time limit was up and he was forcibly teleported out.

Otherwise... he wouldn't be able to leave even if he wanted to.

Three hours passed, and suddenly, Zhou Yalong saw Lin Yuan appear in the distance and run straight towards him.

He was terrified and quickly moved away, but by sheer bad luck, Lin Yuan turned around and unleashed a destructive storm that struck the surrounding area, knocking him right out of the way.

"Grass!"
