A string of prompts left Lin Yi somewhat stunned.
First came the Descent Abyss 0-level trial.
What is this thing?
He had never heard of it before.
Then there was Lin Youâs exclusive weapon, Elegy of the Soul, which leveled up, and she herself has completed leveling up too.
But what the heck is this unlocking skill slot!
Normally, when a summoned creature levels up, shouldnât it directly gain a new skill?
Could Lin You really be so special, like a professional, able to choose her own skills?
Thinking that way, Lin Yiâs Spirit Crystal watch suddenly started vibrating.
In the next moment, Li Qianyeâs rather serious voice rang out.
"Lin Yi, you just reached level 60. Did you receive an invitation for the Descent Abyss trial?"
Lin Yi: "Yes."
"Donât accept that invitation yet. Youâre currently in the examination rounds. If you enter the Descent Abyss trial, your scores will be voided!"
"I know, so I didnât accept it."
Lin Yi wasnât stupid; he naturally understood this principle.
On the other side, Li Qianye continued: "The Descent Abyss level 0 trial is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for all professionals. It requires careful preparation and can only be entered at the level 60 milestone."
"For now, you can normally kill monsters inside the dungeon to gain experience, but donât proactively choose to level up. Missing the Descent Abyss 0-level trial would be a real pity."
Hearing Li Qianye say this, Lin Yi became interested: "What exactly is this Descent Abyss level 0 trial?"
Li Qianye didnât directly answer Lin Yiâs question, instead continuing: "For matters regarding the Descent Abyss, you can ask your seniors from Dongjiang after the fifth round of examinations is over. Currently, since the exams are ongoing, I canât have a long conversation with you."
"This time, Iâm just reminding you not to enter the Descent Abyss trial."
With that, Li Qianye directly cut off the communication.
No one expected that during the fifth round of examination, someone could level up at such a fast pace.
This counts as unprecedented.
After cutting the communication, Lin Yi didnât continue to dwell on the Descent Abyss matter but instead opened Lin Youâs panel to have a look.
First was the Elegy of the Soul that had just received a quality level-up.
The overall attributes compared to before had greatly improved.
[Elegy of the Soul]
[Type: Weapon (Two-handed)]
[Grade: Bronze (0.08%)]
[Equipment Level: LV.1]
[Exclusive Weapon, Spirit-Bound]
[Weight: 22.34kg]
[Physical Attack Power +2044]
[Strength +871]
[Endurance +846]
[Spirit +833]
[Agility +901]
[Durability: Never Wear Out]
[Unique Effect: Soul Devouring]
[When killing a target, will devour the targetâs soul, gaining certain attribute values, added to its own base attributes.]
[Note: The stronger and more elevated the targetâs power, the more attributes can be gained.]
These additional attribute values already far exceed what Lin Yi obtained when he killed Rivendell and got the platinum-level Undead Greatsword.
And at this moment, the Elegy of the Soulâs grade was just reaching the bronze level.
Lin Yi couldnât even imagine how exaggerated the attributes would be when this weapon really levels up to the Divine Artifact level!
After checking the weapon, Lin Yi opened Lin Youâs panel.
Clicked on the skill slot.
He indeed saw an empty skill slot!
Meaning as long as itâs a skill that fits her main or sub-profession branches, she can learn it?
Hiss...
This mechanism is somewhat overpowered!
While Lin Yi was considering helping Lin You notice skill books related to the Necromancy Element and Warrior Element, Lin You suddenly showed a change in expression: "Master, someoneâs coming again."
Hearing her, Lin Yi snapped back from his thoughts.
In this period, he had indeed encountered quite a number of people.
Those with hostility, he directly sent them rolling out of the instance.
Those without hostility, Lin Yi couldnât be bothered.
"Donât call me master anymore. From now on, letâs call each other by our names."
Lin Yi said this sincerely.
Lin You had already surpassed the domain of summoned entities in all aspects. Lin Yi already regarded her as a friend or perhaps a partner.
After saying this, it was obvious that Lin You trembled slightly.
Then she shyly nodded her head.
"Lin Yi brother~ Iâve been looking for you for so long~"
"We donât have any malicious intent. Weâre willing to give you all our points if we can team up with you?"
Suddenly a soft and charming voice with a hint of allure came from behind Lin Yi.
Turning his head.
He saw a few girls walking over, looking pitifully at Lin Yi.
These girls were quite impressive in both figure and appearance.
Up until now, Lin Yi had encountered quite a few people, but this was the first time someone wanted to team up with him.
But before Lin Yi could speak.
Out of the corner of his eye, Lin Yi saw Lin You already drawing her sword.
Without a word, several afterimages flashed by, Necromancy Sword Qi burst forth.
Instantly, the pitiful girls were sent out of the instance by Lin You.
The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, without giving Lin Yi any chance to react.
Feeling Lin Youâs emotions.
Lin Yi felt a bit awkward.
Was she jealous?
These enchantresses dared to compete with me for my man?
Lin Yi found it amusing, shook his head.
He didnât take this matter to heart.
Lin You appeared a bit flustered and suddenly said: "They...they definitely had bad intentions."
"Iâm sorry..."
Lin Yi shook his head: "No need to apologize, you did the right thing. I wasnât planning to team up with them anyway."
After this minor episode.
Lin Yi and Lin You continued leveling up.
The monsters in the Hilly Zone were largely crushed and cleared by Lin Yi.
Lin Yi also began consciously moving toward the central area of the Noah Ruins.
The entire Noah Ruins is too massive, wanting to explore everything within a day is almost impossible.
As time continued to move forward.
Lin Yi also noticed that the sky was darkening.
Eventually, it was completely engulfed in darkness.
Unexpectedly, this instance was just like a small world, having sunrise and sunset.
Unconsciously, he had spent over twenty hours inside the instance.
[23 hours have passed since the beginning of the fifth test round!]
[Final leaderboard revealed!]
The Spirit Crystal watch vibrated slightly.
Seeing the leaderboard ranking, Lin Yi was suddenly jolted.
At this moment, there were only three names left on the leaderboard!
[First place, Lu Yu, points earned: 314699, Team: None, Region: Noahâs Wreckage Zone]
[Second place, Xia Yuyan, points earned: 284136, Team: None, Region: Noahâs Wreckage Zone]
[Third place, Lin Yi, points earned: 214748, Team: None, Region: Noahâs Wreckage Zone]
The first and second names were still familiar.
Curiosity in Lin Yiâs heart gradually got replaced by a fighting spirit.
Itâs about time.
In this last hour, going to the Desert Zone and Swamp Zone might allow for picking up some leftover monsters.
But leveling up isnât the main priority right now.
With the match progressing to this point, itâs narrowing down to the final showdown.
Time to win!
Lin Yi rode on PĂ©ng Kingâs back, gazing at the distant Noahâs Ark wreck under the darkened sky.
Looking at the Spirit Crystal watch in his hands.
The arrow pointing towards Xia Yuyan and Lu Yu.
Perfectly overlapping.
This means these two are currently in the center of the Noah Wreckage Zone, and might have already met.
"Lin Yi, all the flying beasts I sent out for scouting just went missing!"
"They... all have been controlled by another will!"
