384 Level 79 Qualification Assessment
Very quickly.
As the wall clock struck midnight, the 24th had finally arrived!
A string of notifications popped before Ling Yi.
[A new day. You have gained 3 hours in God’s Path.]
[Remaining time before descent: 28 hours and 45 minutes]
[High-grade Night Stone creation tool: High-grade Night Stone +1]
[The “World War” event has ended. Congratulations to the Shenxia faction for obtaining the most victory stars. All players in this faction have received additional rewards: Exp x 100, Gold X 2,000]
[Distributing rewards to each faction—]
[You’ve accumulated enough time in the 70 – 79 rankings. You can apply for the qualification review!]
Another second passed.
[Your faction has obtained a total of 45 victory stars in this global war. You have obtained 45,000 exp and a 45% exp gain from killing monsters. The exp gain will continue until the next season’s global war event.]
“Huaa…”
The day’s notification finally came to an end.
Other than high-grade Night Stones, he could also obtain a stalk of pure food every day. That thing was to attract sprites, and he had already accumulated more than 30 stalks. He might be able to use them in the future.
“Good luck.” Lin Shurou and the others beside him encouraged him.
“Thanks!”
Ling Yi nodded. He didn’t dawdle any longer and immediately applied for the qualification assessment.
The next second, a bright white beam of light descended from the void and brought him into the assessment field.
A moment later.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a green grassland.
White clouds hung on the blue sky, and the bright sun added a hint of warmth to the wild wind on the grassland… This was a beautiful grassland.
A thousand meters away, a towering tree about four to five hundred meters tall stood upright.
Ling Yi stood on the grass and looked up. The tree was like an upside-down giant wolf’s tooth club. The bark was black and gray, as if it was suffering from a disease. Although the branches on the trunk were a little crooked, they all stuck out without exception.
There was not a single leaf on the tree branch, and it seemed to be a species from a different world from the grassland that was full of vitality.
That must be the enemy for this assessment, a level 79 Beast King.
He used his [Eye of Truth] to check its stats.
[Name: Giant Demonic Thorn Tree (LV79)]
[Type: Beast King]
[Attributes: strength 3,160, mana 3,160, agility 2,370, endurance 3,950, Constitution 3,950]
[Skills: Reflect Thorn (9 stars) (Passive), Reflect Shield (8 stars), Leech Pods (8 stars), Light and Heat Absorption (9 stars), Magic Thorn Summoning (9 stars), Self-Cleansing Body (8 stars) (Passive), Unmelting Tree Bark (10 stars) (Passive), Earth Absorption (10 stars)]
[Current Status: 100%]
Ling Yi sighed, “The counterattack has finally arrived.”
The only worry in his mind was the recovery and backlash’s prohibition.
The former could break his ‘undying body’, while the latter could break his ‘hundredfold attack’, making him hesitate when he used the hundredfold damage increase.
“But I have a chance to resurrect once a day. If I can kill it, it doesn’t matter if I die once…”
Just as Ling Yi was hesitating about whether he should ignore the counterattack and directly attack, he suddenly felt a slight chill behind him.
When he turned around, the Ice Queen had already left the light curtain.
“Huh?”
Ling Yi’s eyes lit up when he saw her. ‘As long as Xiao Bing puts her Holy Shield of Extreme Frost on me, the ‘reflected’ damage will be ineffective on me!’
“Xiao Bing!” He immediately called out.
“Yes.”
The Ice Queen, who knew what his master was thinking, immediately put the Holy Shield of Extreme Frost on him.
At the same time, Ling Yi activated his [Premonition Prompt] to aid him in battle.
[You planned to use 200-fold the power of the light of a flame, but you failed to kill this level 79 normal-tier Beast King. You were very confused and guessed that it was its passive Skill, ‘Unmelting Tree Bark’, that took effect.]
[You tried to attack it a few more times and found that the damage caused to it seemed to be gradually increasing. You found it strange.]
[You activated the [Triple Seal] on it, but it removed the seal through the [Self-Cleansing Body].]
[Three minutes later, you pull up the 100 times greater [Starfall]. To your surprise, the damage caused by the greater flame star is still extremely low.]
[You have some vague theory on its effects.]
“Eh? A Skill that specifically counters high damage?”
Just by looking at the content of the notification, Ling Yi could roughly guess what was going on.
It was most likely a defensive Skill that would “xxx if you receive a massive amount of damage,” which was more effective against his instantaneous burst.
Ling Yi didn’t think too much about it. He could continue to deal damage anyway.
Thinking of this, he urged the wind to blow towards the Giant Demonic Thorn Tree.
Whoosh–
The strong wind hit the trunk of the giant tree, but to his surprise, the tree only shot small green seeds into the surrounding area and did not do anything else.
When the seeds were still in the air, they were carried up by the strong wind and never landed on the ground.
Ling Yi and the Ice Queen looked at each other in confusion.
“Strange. This Beast King… Is it only going to rely on counter-attacks to fight?”
“It shouldn’t be possible. Those seeds should be its summoned beasts.” The Ice Queen replied seriously.
“Speaking of which, there’s no obvious attack Skill on its interface.”
“… What about us?”
“Let’s attack from here.”
“Alright,” he said.
The two of them, one controlling wind and the other controlling ice, continued to hit the giant tree.
Through the [Eye of Truth], the other party’s vitality slowly decreased.
About ten seconds later.
The golden light on the giant tree’s body brightened, and then golden and red light particles floated in the air around it. These light particles slowly merged into the tree’s body, nourishing its vitality.
In just two to three seconds, its life force was fully recovered.
[Light and Heat Absorption (9 stars)]: Gather the surrounding light and heat energy to form energy particles and absorb them into the body. Each particle can restore 0.5% of the user’s life.
To be able to make a pure HP recovery 9 stars Skill, only a percentage HP recovery combination with no use limit can do it.
“We fought for nothing just now… What do we do now?” The Ice Queen asked with a frown.
Ling Yi touched his chin and muttered, “from the looks of it, this Beast King seems to be a meat shield-type Beast King that focuses on reflecting damage. Its main attacks are damage reflection and the summoned beasts. The rest are all just self-defense Skills.”
“Tsk… It was resistant to high damage and had purification abilities… No, I have to see for myself what Skill it is.”
He stepped forward, teleported to the front of the giant tree, and activated the Skill [Triple Sea].
The blood-red triangular formation smoothly passed through the back of the giant tree to the front, and the Beast King didn’t have any thoughts of dodging.
The next moment, a pillar of light blue light shone from the ground and removed the seal he had placed.
Ling Yi, who had his [Eye of Truth] activated, saw the effect.
[Self-Cleansing Body (8-star) (Passive)]: When a negative state is applied to the body, it will purify itself and recover a small amount of stamina. This effect can only be triggered once every 3 seconds. (Cleanse: dispel all negative status)]
(Self-Cleansing Body + Diamond Star → Shining Star)
“It’s a pretty good Skill… It seems like we can’t stop it from healing.”
‘If I had this Skill, then wouldn’t the enemy be unable to stop me from healing?’ Ling Yi suddenly thought
‘Oh? It seems that I have to do something about my self-cleansing body.’
