Chapter 14: Full Strength

Editor: Atlas Studios

Netherworld Soul Scythe!

It was a very special exclusive skill.

Summoning the scythe to attack could increase Lu Yan's attack strength. Most importantly, half of the attack strength would affect the soul, forming a soul attack.

It had to be known that no matter what creature it was, the defense of the soul was the weakest. It was the same even for a necromancer who played with souls.

50% of his strength would affect the soul and cause soul damage. It could basically be said to ignore true defense damage.

Moreover, after the Netherworld Soul Scythe was upgraded to level ten, it could also transform into a physical state and become an exclusive equipment. At that time, it would not be limited by the cooldown time and duration of the skill.

The most terrifying thing was the last description.

Consuming a soul crystal could double the effect of the Netherworld Soul Scythe!

In other words, using a soul crystal could increase the attack power of the Netherworld Scythe by 60%, and the soul damage would also reach 100%.

It basically meant that any attack that landed on the enemy would also land on the other party's soul.

Of course, this was useless against undead creatures with 0 intelligence. After all, they did not have souls.

However, be it the skeleton captain or the undead knights rushing over, they were all high level undead with souls and would suffer the soul attack of the Netherworld Soul Scythe.

Looking at the hundred or so undead knights rushing towards him, Lu Yan's thoughts raced. Then, he made a decision.

Undead Netherworld Armor!

As this epic skill was used, undead power circulated beside Lu Yan, forming a pitch-black armor that emitted the aura of the undead that enveloped Lu Yan.

[Undead Netherworld Armor (level 3): Summon the undead power to form a Netherworld Armor around one's body that can resist any damage. Current resistance value: 35. Duration: 10 minutes. Cooldown time: 5 hours.]

The Undead Netherworld Armor on Lu Yan's body slowly circulated, emitting a dense aura that seemed to be able to block all attacks.

Lu Yan also checked the attributes of these undead knights.

[Undead Knight]

[Level: 9]

[Strength: 38, Physique: 33, Agility: 35, Intelligence: 8]

[Skill: Sprint: Rapid Charge. As your movement speed increases, your attack power will increase. Your movement speed will also be 20% faster.]

The agility of the undead knights in front was very high, reaching 35. Their mobility was very high, and their strength was also very powerful, reaching 38.

As expected of the nightmare level university entrance examination, just these attributes were enough to make most candidates despair.

Moreover, nearly a hundred undead knights were charging together.

Basically, none of the candidates could stop such an attack.

There was also the skill sprint. If these undead knights' movement speed reached the peak, it was equivalent to their strength increasing to about 45. This was already a very terrifying number for the candidates.

Coupled with a 33 level physique, these undead knights were simply nightmares to the candidates.

How could he easily pass the nightmare level assessment?

Unfortunately, Lu Yan had the talent skill, Undead intimidation, which reduced the attack and defense of all undead creatures by half.

Coupled with the Undead Netherworld Armor, Lu Yan was completely unscathed when facing these undead Death Knights.

At the same time, Lu Yan's strength had reached a terrifying 43, and he could cause a lot of damage to these undead knights.

However, it was not enough!

The Undead Netherworld Armor only lasted for ten minutes. According to the previous university entrance examination, the assessment was divided into four areas.

Lu Yan was already in the third area. As long as he passed these undead knights, he would be able to see the final boss.

Without the Undead Netherworld Armor, the chances of Lu Yan clearing the level were relatively low.

Therefore, Lu Yan had to directly clear the level within the duration of the Undead Netherworld Armor!

In other words, he needed to clear the level in ten minutes!

There was only one way to do this.

He would use his strongest attack state to forcefully push through!

Without hesitation, Lu Yan directly used the Netherworld Soul Scythe.

Waves of undead power appeared in Lu Yan's palm and he began to summon the Netherworld Soul Scythe.

At the same time, Lu Yan felt that his mental strength was being greatly consumed.

It seemed that summoning the Netherworld Soul Scythe consumed mental strength.

The pitch-black Netherworld Soul Scythe slowly appeared in Lu Yan's hand. It was like a death god's scythe. The blade was long and curved perfectly with the hilt.

Lu Yan grabbed the hilt of the Netherworld Soul Scythe and bent his body slightly. Then, he suddenly rushed out.

He took the initiative to welcome the undead knights as he charged forward!

Leaping up, Lu Yan directly arrived in midair. The undead knights that rushed over directly raised their white bone spears and pierced towards Lu Yan.

Lu Yan did not care. He raised the Netherworld Soul Scythe in his hand and drew a complete arc around him.

As if it was cutting tofu, the Netherworld Scythe slashed across the necks of the surrounding undead knights and instantly cut off their already rotten flesh, making them lose their heads!

The white bone spears also pierced in front of Lu Yan and landed on the Undead Netherworld Armor.

A crisp sound sounded. Lu Yan was hit by these white bone spears but was not injured at all.

[Soul Fragment (60/100)]

Looking at the progress of the collection of soul fragments, the Netherworld Scythe in Lu Yan's hand slashed forward again. An undead knight and its undead horse were directly slashed into two.

"Ah!"

Screams sounded. This was the pain in the depths of the undead knights' souls, making them unable to help but scream.

At this moment, Lu Yan was like a battle god. He ignored the surrounding undead knights' attacks and kept waving the Netherworld Scythe in his hand, harvesting the lives and souls of the surrounding undead knights.

"Damn! Is this guy a human? How can he be so powerful?"

"Isn't this too exaggerated? There has to be a limit to ferocity, right? I know that you're powerful, but tell me what's going on with this defense? He didn't even dodge and directly resisted."

"Ridiculous! This is too damn ridiculous. Are you telling me that this is a necromancer? Even if it's a warrior that focused completely on his defense, it's impossible for him to be unscathed under the impact of that undead knight, right? Those are nightmare level undead knights!"

"Damn, I've long said that this guy is a hacker. If you don't believe me, investigate strictly! We have to investigate strictly! How can we let him cheat?"

All the students on the field instantly exploded when they saw Lu Yan's actions. Although Lu Yan's performance just now was very ridiculous, wasn't this too ridiculous?

What was that black armor? All the attacks had been completely blocked by that armor.

Didn't they say that one could only wear wooden armor for the university entrance examination? What was going on?

It was one thing for a necromancer to have such high attack power, but the defense he displayed now was actually so powerful!

Could it be that this Lu Yan was really a hacker?

However, no one had ever heard of anyone cheating in the university entrance examination. The examiners were also aware of everything going on in the secret realm. It was simply impossible for them to cheat.

However, before all the teachers and students in the field could digest Lu Yan's current performance, Lu Yan in the secret realm made a new move.

[Soul Fragment (100/100)]

After killing many undead knights, Lu Yan gathered a lot of soul fragments and fused them with a soul crystal.

Lu Yan did not hesitate and directly used this newly fused soul crystal.

Consuming a soul crystal could double the effect of the Netherworld Soul Scythe, but the duration would decrease by a minute.

The aura of the Netherworld Soul Scythe instantly soared. A pitch-black Netherworld flame directly appeared on the Netherworld Soul Scythe and covered the entire saber.

Boom!

Lu Yan suddenly took a step and rushed towards the remaining undead knights in front of him with the strengthened Netherworld Soul Scythe.


Chapter 15: Killing the Final boss

Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Yan was not stingy with his soul crystal. The moment the soul crystal formed, he directly used it.

It would reduce the use of the Netherworld Soul Scythe by one minute and double the effect.

At this moment, Lu Yan's attack power had increased greatly.

The skeleton elites behind him had already been left behind.

With the Netherworld Soul Scythe burning in his hand, he arrived in front of the undead knights in front of him. Lu Yan waved the Netherworld Soul Scythe in his hand, and a cold light flashed, directly killing the few undead knights in front of him.

With his strength constantly surging, Lu Yan advanced to level 9. Without hesitation, he added the free attribute points to his strength.

When the surrounding undead knights saw Lu Yan's violent appearance, coupled with their fear of the undead monarch aura, some of them directly scattered and escaped.

They were only undead creatures captured by the master of the secret realm. In the face of a threat, they would still escape.

If Lu Yan wanted to obtain high marks, he naturally should've killed all the undead knights.

However, Lu Yan did not have the time.

Although the Undead Netherworld Armor could last for ten minutes, the Netherworld Soul Scythe could only last for three minutes.

Coupled with the fact that he had just used a soul crystal to increase the effect of the Netherworld Soul Scythe, the Netherworld Soul Scythe would only be able to last for two minutes.

Now that 40 seconds had passed, the duration of the Netherworld Soul Scythe was about to end.

Without hesitation, Lu Yan directly rushed out of the third area and arrived at the last area of the assessment.

This was a cave, and a large number of skeleton soldiers were blocking the cave.

Lu Yan directly rushed out and was the first to open the way. He kept waving the Netherworld Soul Scythe in his hand, and the surrounding skeleton soldiers were instantly dismembered.

Soon, Lu Yan arrived at the innermost area.

In front of him was a throne made of dried bones. On the throne, a skeleton figure holding a bone staff was sitting quietly.

A necromancer!

The final boss was a necromancer.

Usually, the candidates had to be especially careful when entering the last level. After all, the final boss was the most difficult existence in the entire assessment.

Basically, the candidates here would carefully test the ability of the final boss before making a decision.

However, Lu Yan did not have that much time.

The Netherworld Soul Scythe's duration only had 50 seconds left!

Therefore, Lu Yan did not hesitate at all. The moment he entered, he directly rushed towards the necromancer on the Skeleton Throne.

The necromancer was also stunned for a moment. He did not expect Lu Yan to directly rush towards it.

It raised the bone staff in its hand and several bone spikes suddenly pierced out from under Lu Yan's feet, as if they wanted to pierce through Lu Yan's body.

The bone spikes that surged out from the ground were very fast and covered a large area. There was no way to avoid them.

If the other candidates were so rash, they would probably be eliminated.

However, the bone spikes were directly blocked by the Undead Netherworld Armor on Lu Yan's body. Lu Yan was not injured at all.

The Undead Netherworld Armor was only at the third level and had a resistance value of 35. The attack of the necromancer in front of him definitely surpassed this value.

Unfortunately, it was an undead creature. Its attack and defense were halved in front of Lu Yan!

Unless this necromancer's attack value exceeded 70, he would not cause any damage to Lu Yan, who was enveloped by the undead Netherworld Armor.

Seeing that the bone spikes were useless and the fear that suddenly rose in its heart, the necromancer also put away its contempt. It suddenly pressed its bone staff down, and two small bone wing dragons crawled out from the ground beside it.

As long as the two Bone Winged Dragons could stall the guy in front of him, the necromancer would have a way to continue attacking.

"Undead Berserk!"

Lu Yan did not hesitate and directly used Undead Rage. When he leveled up to level 9 just now, Lu Yan's Undead Rage had already been increased to level 3.

[Undead Rage (level 3): Instantly doubles all attributes of controlled undead creatures, lasts for 50 seconds, and increases the movement speed of charging undead creatures by 40%. (Cooldown time is 3 minutes.)]

The speed of the two skeleton elites behind him suddenly soared. They quickly rushed in front of the two bone wing dragons and directly stopped them.

Although the combat strength of the two Bone Wing Dragons was clearly very high, with the enhancement of the Undead Rage and the reduction of the other party's strength with the Undead Intimidation, the two skeleton elites were actually able to block the two Bone Wing Dragons.

At this moment, Lu Yan had already pounced forward.

The Netherworld Soul Scythe in his hand directly slashed at the necromancer in front of him.

The necromancer was flustered as a bone shield surged out of its body and surrounded it.

However, when the Netherworld Soul Scythe fell, it instantly shattered the bone shield and continued to slash down.

The necromancer's arm that was holding the bone staff was directly slashed off.

"Ah!"

At the same time, a tragic cry sounded from the necromancer's mouth, making it unable to help but hug its head and scream.

It was an undead creature. The severed arm did not cause it any pain at all, but the attack on its soul from the Netherworld Soul Scythe almost made it crazy.

Lu Yan raised the Netherworld Soul Scythe again and directly slashed at the necromancer's neck in front of him.

The soul attack just now had shocked the necromancer's mind and had strengthened the effect of the Undead Intimidation. It actually made it tremble and stand rooted to the ground.

The Netherworld Soul Scythe slashed across the necromancer's neck and directly severed its head.

At the same time, the soul killing effect of the Netherworld Soul Scythe also destroyed the will of the necromancer.

The bodies of the two Bone Wing Dragons summoned by the necromancer beside him suddenly froze. Then, they turned into bone fragments and scattered on the ground.

The necromancer was dead!

Lu Yan's entire body relaxed as a tide of exhaustion attacked, making him almost lose his grip on the Netherworld Soul Scythe in his hand.

Having been through such a high-intensity battle, coupled with the consumption of mental strength by the Netherworld Soul Scythe, if not for Lu Yan's constant training, he probably would not have been able to last.

The Netherworld Soul Scythe in his hand dissipated, and Lu Yan sat on the bone throne at the side.

Thinking of the process of clearing the level just now, Lu Yan was still afraid.

The nightmare level assessment was indeed worthy of its reputation. The difficulty of passing it was at least dozens of times harder than the difficult level. The ordinary level was even more incomparable.

Although Lu Yan had obtained a hidden profession, the undead monarch, his previous foundation was still very poor. The difference between him and people with ordinary combat professions was not very obvious in the early stages.

The reason why he was able to pass the nightmare level assessment was mainly because the assessment contained undead creatures this time.

Lu Yan's talent skills were very effective here. Coupled with his decisiveness, he finally succeeded.

If anything went wrong, it would probably be very difficult for Lu Yan to pass the nightmare level assessment.

Moreover, Lu Yan had not killed all the undead creatures yet. The points he obtained from killing enemies would not be very high.

However, no matter what, he still successfully cleared the level in the end. Moreover, Lu Yan was certain that his killing points might not be very high, but the time it took to clear the level was definitely very fast.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan looked at the time.

[Candidate: Lu Yan]

[Cleared successfully.]

[Nightmare difficulty: 15 minutes and 20 seconds]
