Chapter 10: The Might of Draw Slash
【Draw Slash】(B-Rank)
Skill Description: Consumes 100 Mana to deal 200% Attack damage to targets within a five-meter radius (Cooldown: 15 seconds)
After reaching Level 3, Ali’s Attack had risen to 600.
And now that he had learned Draw Slash, the current Ali was terrifyingly powerful.
At that moment, Ali had only one thought in his heart—
to cleave the ugly, filthy trash before him clean in two.
Draw Slash!!!
All of you, die!!!
Sun Xu was still channeling a healing spell.
Then a streak of cold light flashed past. The damage numbers that appeared in its wake left Sun Xu’s mouth hanging open in a perfect O, and even the movements of his hands froze.
-20000 (Critical Hit)
-12000
-12000
-24000 (Critical Hit)
One Draw Slash was enough to silence the clamorous world in an instant.
Bronze Fang, who had been so arrogant just moments ago, had turned into a dead dog.
His entire body had been cut into two pieces.
Ali picked up his shield and silently returned to Lin Yuan’s side.
“Ali, nicely done!” Lin Yuan gave him a thumbs-up, lavish in his praise.
Once the battle ended, Lin Yuan’s panel was immediately flooded with kill notifications.
【Killed Overseer Bronze Fang (LV5), EXP increased by 1000】
【Killed Kobold Scavenger (LV1) *72, EXP increased by 360】
【Killed Kobold Miner (LV2) *63, EXP increased by 1260】
【Killed Kobold Wanderer (LV3) *25, EXP increased by 1250】
【Level increased to 4 (1690/3000)】
There were only two people in the party, and Lin Yuan’s contribution had been the highest.
Naturally, he had taken the lion’s share of the experience.
Not only had he risen to Level 4, he was already halfway to Level 5.
That leveling speed was like riding a rocket into the heavens.
While Lin Yuan was collecting the spoils, Sun Xu was completely numb with shock.
His mind was still replaying that flash of cold light from just now.
Damage over ten thousand!
Critical hits of twenty thousand!
That was damage dealt by a Level 3 Summoned Beast!
Sun Xu felt as if his entire understanding of the world was about to be overturned.
For an ordinary class-holder, let alone Level 3—even at Level 20, it would be difficult to deal such absurd damage.
Good heavens.
Just what kind of monster was Brother Lin’s Summoned Beast?
Unable to hold it in any longer, Sun Xu suddenly let out a howl.
“That’s too incredible!!!”
“What are you yelling for? You nearly scared me to death.”
Lin Yuan almost dropped the equipment in his hand. “Stop making such a fuss. What’s wrong with you?”
Bronze Fang had dropped two pieces of equipment in total.
One shield and one breastplate.
【Shock-Absorbing Shield — Off-Hand Equipment】
【Grade: Bronze】
【Required Level: 4】
【Attributes: Stamina +10, Physical Defense +20, HP +300】
【Sturdy Work Clothes — Breastplate】
【Grade: Bronze】
【Required Level: 3】
【Attributes: Strength +10, Stamina +5, HP +200】
Lin Yuan put on the breastplate himself and handed the shield to Ali beside him.
“Ali, this shield is for you.”
Lin Yuan had noticed something.
Before every fight began, Ali would always throw away his shield.
Lin Yuan guessed that the shield in his hand simply did not suit him and was affecting his performance.
So he might as well swap it out.
After taking the shield, Ali gave a slight nod.
It did not matter what shield he used. He was not going to use it anyway.
It was not that the shield felt awkward in his hand.
It was that he simply did not like using shields at all.
A Shield Guard who did not like shields—
now that was character.
...
Sun Xu raised his hand and checked the time.
No more, no less. Exactly forty-five minutes.
“Brother Lin, this is huge!”
“We broke the record!”
Sun Xu’s voice was practically shrill with excitement.
Not only had they broken the record, they had even compressed the time to under an hour.
Once they left the dungeon, who knew how many jaws would hit the floor?
Just as Lin Yuan was settling the rewards, Luo Qingqing’s team and Xu Jie’s team arrived at the minefield at almost the same time.
Each team sent one person ahead to clear the mines.
Then suddenly—
an area-wide announcement rang out.
【Congratulations to the team of Lin Yuan and Sun Xu for breaking the clear record of Golden Fang Ruins (Beginner), with a time of 45 minutes】
【Congratulations to the team of Lin Yuan and Sun Xu for breaking the clear record of Golden Fang Ruins (Beginner), with a time of 45 minutes】
【Congratulations to the team of Lin Yuan and Sun Xu for breaking the clear record of Golden Fang Ruins (Beginner), with a time of 45 minutes】
The moment he heard the notification, Xu Jie nearly bit his own tongue off.
What???
They... they broke the record?
If it had been someone else breaking it, Xu Jie might not have been quite so shocked.
But the ones who had broken it were actually Lin Yuan and Sun Xu.
Only the two of them.
One was a Healer with virtually no damage, and the other was a Summoner, a universally acknowledged bottom-tier class.
Xu Jie could not understand it.
How had those two managed to clear the dungeon?
And it was not only Xu Jie.
None of the teachers or students could understand it.
When Lin Yuan and Sun Xu appeared in the Dungeon Plaza, the entire square fell silent.
Silence.
Everyone was silent.
Principal Chen Qingshan opened his mouth, but when the words reached his lips, he found himself at a loss for what to ask.
A Summoner and a Priest had broken the school’s dungeon clear record, one that had stood for three years.
The whole thing was simply too unbelievable.
【Dungeon reward settlement complete】
【Killed Rami the Mine-Layer, obtained 100 Evolution Points】
【Killed Overseer Bronze Fang, obtained 100 Evolution Points】
【First clear of Golden Fang Ruins (Beginner Difficulty), obtained 50 Evolution Points】
【No Kobolds remain alive within the dungeon. Perfect Clear achieved, obtained 50 Evolution Points】
【Total obtained: 300 Evolution Points, 1500 EXP】
After claiming the rewards, Lin Yuan’s level rose to 5.
At that moment, homeroom teacher Chen Hongwei walked over with a complicated expression.
“Lin Yuan, Sun Xu, congratulations on breaking the school record. These are the rewards the school has prepared for you.”
“The two of you may each choose one.”
The reward for breaking the record was a C-Rank skill book.
The principal had prepared that reward in advance.
The only question had been whether it would go to Luo Qingqing’s team or Xu Jie’s team.
Five skill books had been prepared in total, covering every class.
And in the end, only two of them had been given away.
Sun Xu looked them over and did not hesitate. He took a copy of Quick Heal.
Lin Yuan chose the Rush skill.
He was choosing it for Ali.
With the talent Martial Heavenly King, Ali could learn any combat skill.
Lin Yuan had already had Ali learn the Backstep skill from before as well.
And with the talent Summoner of the End, Lin Yuan could share Ali’s talents and skills.
If Ali learned it, that was the same as Lin Yuan learning it.
There was no special reason for it.
He simply liked the feeling of getting something for free.
Finding a random place to stand, Lin Yuan dumped all of his unused free attribute points into Strength.
