Virtual Ascension: Awakening the Supreme Talent

According to the agreement, after helping those people kill the Elite [Mutated Werewolf], Zhang Yi took nothing but the EXP and left immediately.

Then, he continued to post messages in the zone offering free help to defeat Elite Monsters.

In less than half an hour, he had killed three Level 30 Elite Monsters and completed the quest.

"Ding~ Congratulations on completing this week's Elite-level Survival Quest [Elite Hunt], earning a reward of 1 Grand Wheel of Fortune spin! Your Survival Quest has been upgraded to [Lord Hunt] (Nightmare level)!"

Lord Hunt: You need to land the final blow on a Level 30 or above Lord Monster within this week.

Seeing this Nightmare-level Survival Quest refresh, Zhang Yi couldn't help but feel secretly relieved. Fortunately, he triggered this quest before heading to the Dragon Emperor's Tomb.

When he goes back to the Dragon Emperor's Tomb, killing the Lord-level Dragon Blood Swordsman will perfectly complete this quest.

So, Zhang Yi activated the Grand Wheel of Fortune.

It was another thrilling moment.

Swish!

"Ding~ Congratulations, you have won a reward: Mysterious Item, Low-level Demonic Beast Aptitude Pill 1! Wheel EXP 1!"

"Ding~ Congratulations, your Grand Wheel of Fortune level has increased to Level 2, unlocking new prizes: 3-star Equipment, 3-star Treasure Chest, 200 Gold Coins, Mysterious Item... The next upgrade requires 5 EXP points!"

He actually drew an Aptitude Pill!

Zhang Yi was overjoyed and immediately opened his backpack, and sure enough, he saw a red pill quietly lying inside—

[Demonic Beast Aptitude Pill] (Low-level):

Description: After use on a Demonic Beast, permanently increases the beast's aptitude by 1 point. Cannot be used on beasts with 100 points or more aptitude.

In the previous life, this was a top-tier item that countless Beastmaster players dreamed of, even if it was low-level, it was priceless!

He hadn't even obtained a Demonic Beast yet and had already acquired the orange Skill Book [Sword Shadow Storm] and this [Demonic Beast Aptitude Pill]. It seemed that if he didn't quickly capture the Demonic Beast from the Dragon Emperor's Tomb, it would be a waste of the System's generosity.

The meeting time with King's Glory was set for 7 PM, and it was still morning now.

So, during the day, Zhang Yi helped Han Yaru complete all three of her Survival Quests!

Due to Han Yaru's relatively low strength assessment, her Survival Quests were relatively simple, and with Zhang Yi's help, they were completed in just one day!

Moreover, during the completion of the Survival Quests, Han Yaru's level also increased to Level 28, earning her three Revival Chances.

Soon, it was 6 PM, and Zhang Yi and Han Yaru returned to the Safe Zone, had dinner, and arrived at the north gate of Hope Town at exactly 7 PM.

Upon arrival, they discovered that over a dozen players from King's World were already waiting there!

Thanks to the generous rewards from the previous City of Energy dungeon, plus a day of leveling up, the average level of King's World players was finally catching up. Except for King's Glory, who was still at Level 27 due to being killed by Zhang Yi, the rest had mostly reached Level 28!

As Zhang Yi observed the overall strength of the team while approaching, King's Glory immediately ran over: "Brother Cheng is here!"

Once calling Zhang Yi "trash" and "garbage," King's Glory now referred to him as "Brother Cheng," which Zhang Yi found a bit hard to get used to.

In the previous life, at this time, Zhang Yi and the solo players from Zone 886 were still suffering under the tyranny of King's World.

At this moment, King's Glory expressed his inner confusion: "Brother Cheng, what map are you taking us to farm?"

"You'll know when we get there." Zhang Yi replied, checking the time as if waiting for someone, and paused at the north gate without rushing to leave.

"Brother Cheng, who are we waiting for?"

"A group of people, just wait a bit longer, they should be here soon."

Just as Zhang Yi finished speaking, a group of players arrived from the Safe Zone.

As they approached, King's Glory recognized them and was surprised: "Storm Family!"

Meanwhile, the Level 28 Archer Storm Angel, who had brought 13 high-level players from the Storm Family, was also surprised to see King's World with Zhang Yi.

"Brother Qingcheng, what is this..." Storm Angel looked at Zhang Yi, puzzled.

In front of King's Glory and Storm Angel, Zhang Yi said, "This map is a bit difficult, so I invited both of your teams."

"Whoever helps me the most will get the Undead Set. Of course, besides that, I'll pay each of you a commission for helping me farm the map, you won't lose out."

King's Supreme chuckled: "Yinuo Qingcheng is indeed generous!"

Before they even started, King's Glory and Storm Angel were already glaring at each other.

King's Glory: "What are you looking at?"

Storm Angel: "Looking at you, so what?"

King's Glory: "I'll smack your face swollen!"

Storm Angel: "Ugly people cause more trouble!"

...

Zhang Yi ignored them and led the two teams of 28 elite players, along with Han Yaru, making a total of 30 people, heading towards the Dragon Emperor's Tomb.

In Apocalypse, dungeons generally have a 5-player team system, but for special dungeons, the limit can reach 30 or even 100 players.

In the lineup, there were 6 Warriors, 6 Knights, 3 Assassins, 4 Archers, 4 Mages, 4 Priests, and 3 Beastmasters including Zhang Yi, with an average team level of 28.

The formation was perfect.

On the way, King's Return asked, puzzled: "Yinuo Qingcheng, where are we going to farm, and why won't you tell us? Why are we farming at night instead of during the day?"

Zhang Yi gave the same answer: "You'll know when we get there."

The reason for choosing nighttime was, of course, to avoid Proud of the Crowd.

Zhang Yi didn't remember exactly when Proud of the Crowd discovered the Dragon Emperor's Tomb in the previous life, only that they always chose to raid the dungeon during the day, because the Dragon Emperor's Tomb had a setting: under the protection of divine light, players could earn an extra 20% reward when conquering the dungeon during the day.

Zhang Yi didn't care about the extra rewards; he only cared about the top-tier Demonic Beast, as long as Proud of the Crowd didn't come to interfere.

Under Zhang Yi's guidance, the group reached the border between Zone 886 and Zone 885.

In this neutral area, there was a massive graveyard, yet on the map, King's Glory and his team couldn't find any markers for this graveyard. However, as they approached, they could feel a strong sense of oppression!

Zhang Yi led the way into the graveyard.

Since the Dragon Emperor's Tomb was a neutral map, there was no regional suppression here.

King's Glory and his team followed closely, albeit with some nervousness.

"Ding~ System reminder: You have entered a high-risk map [Dragon Emperor's Tomb], where the threat of death exceeds 220%. Please consider the consequences carefully!"

Zhang Yi felt nothing upon hearing this, as the death threat had already decreased from 1000% to 220% since his first entry into the Dragon Emperor's Tomb.

However, for King's Glory and Storm Angel, it was a source of anxiety.

Entering the Dragon Emperor's Tomb, they looked around, and the Level 28 Warrior Storm Dragon King asked, puzzled: "Why aren't there any monsters on this map?"

"Wait a bit, the monsters are ahead."

With that, the group continued deeper into the graveyard.

Following Zhang Yi's instructions, the players from King's World and the Storm Family quickly set up formations: 6 Knights with shields at the front, Warriors on the flanks, Assassins at the rear, protecting the Mages and Archers in the middle.

Storm Dragon King was a bit surprised: "Do we really need such a big formation just to farm a map? It's not like we're fighting a Boss..."

Zhang Yi remained silent until he led them deep into the Dragon Emperor's Tomb, arriving at the light curtain between two mounds.

The hidden dungeon, the entrance to the Dragon Emperor's Tomb.

As Zhang Yi and his team arrived, one of the mounds began to glow red.

"Intruders of the Dragon Emperor's Tomb shall die!"
