Chapter 128, Level 20, New Skills
When they saw Lin Tian and Celia reappear, it immediately caused an even greater commotion than the day before.
"Look! Boss Lin Tian is here again!"
"This time, the boss seems to have an even stronger presence!"
"He just cleared four Nightmare dungeons yesterday, and he's doing it again today? Is he trying to break his own record?"
"Quick! Get your screen recording ready! Let's learn from the pros!"
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Lin Tian entered the instance with a blank expression.
......
He held nothing back and went all out!
Entering the instance no longer even requires a pack of wolves to clear the way.
【Universal Celestial Pull】! Maximum cost!
A terrifying gravitational vortex instantly swept through the entire initial mine shaft. All the swarming dungeon monsters didn't even have time to scream before they were completely torn to shreds, turning into white light and experience points.
[Astral Ray]! Piercing through!
The extremely condensed starlight beams were like the scythe of death, instantly vaporizing elite monsters and even mini-bosses wherever they passed.
Even the Nightmare difficulty bosses can't withstand his terrifying output with his current SS-level equipment; they often can't last more than ten seconds before being reduced to pieces.
A complete crushing defeat!
Extremely efficient dungeon crawling!
If it weren't for the need to walk through the dungeon and deal with those unskippable story transition areas, Lin Tian's completion time could have been shortened to an even more absurd degree.
Even so, he spent most of his time traveling.
【Dark Cave】(Nightmare Difficulty): Completion Time: 00 hours 02 minutes 48 seconds!
[Abandoned Mine] (Nightmare Difficulty): Completion Time: 00 hours 03 minutes 15 seconds!
Blackrock Spire (Nightmare Difficulty): Completion Time: 00 hours 03 minutes 02 seconds!
[Gnoll Camp] (Nightmare Difficulty): Completion Time: 00 hours 02 minutes 55 seconds!
[Spider Abyss] (Nightmare Difficulty): Completion time: 00 hours 03 minutes 22 seconds!
Five dungeons, three difficulty levels, a total of fifteen completions.
When Lin Tian stepped out of the light curtain of the Spider Abyss for the last time!
[Ding! Congratulations on reaching level 20! All attributes +5! Free attribute points +10! Skill points +10!]
[Ding! Your pet Celia has reached level 19!]
The massive amount of experience points raised his level to 20, and his experience bar stopped at the halfway point of level 2.
Celia's level increased rapidly, and she soon reached level 19, almost level 20.
Meanwhile, the players outside the instance have completely fallen into a cycle of madness and numbness.
They watched helplessly as the top records on the three difficulty leaderboards of the five dungeons were all broken at a frantic speed by the same person in a short period of time!
"2 minutes and 48 seconds...a dark nightmare? Am I seeing things?"
"Is this...is this a dungeon run or a stroll through the back garden?"
"Don't monsters respawn? Don't they regenerate?"
"Boss! Give us a break! How are we supposed to break this record?!"
"I'm kneeling! Utterly kneeling! Boss Lin Tian, please accept my deepest respect!"
The regional channel exploded again, with Lin Tian's name being mentioned repeatedly at breakneck speed. Expressions of admiration, shock, and disbelief overwhelmed all other information.
Lin Tian was already used to this, and he quickly tallied up his gains from the second run.
Since it wasn't a first-time clear, the rewards were indeed significantly reduced, mostly consisting of C-tier equipment and materials with a small amount of B-tier items. The dungeon chests also mostly contained items of the same tier, which was better than nothing.
He collected all the profits and then disposed of them all at once.
Lin Tian then invested all 10 free attribute points he had just gained from the upgrade into his intelligence attribute.
After the attribute allocation was completed, he suddenly noticed that the icons of the two hidden classes, [Dominator] and [Starry Sky Mystic], were flashing slightly on his personal panel, followed by a clear message: [New skills available to learn].
"Finally level 20!" Lin Tian's spirits lifted, his eyes gleaming with intense anticipation.
The skills granted by these two hidden professions are all incredibly powerful, and the new skills brought by this upgrade will certainly not disappoint him.
He focused his mind and first opened the [Dominator] class skill tree.
Below the existing three skills—[Dominator's Eye], [Universal Guidance], and [Law Imprisonment]—a brand new icon is slowly lighting up on the skill tree.
Shinra Tensei
Rank: S
Effect: Instantly unleashes an unparalleled and terrifying repulsive force, forcibly pushing everything around it away and dealing spell damage equal to Intelligence × 5000% to all enemies within a very large area.
The mana infusion can be freely adjusted, consuming a minimum of 1% and a maximum of 5% of maximum mana. The more mana consumed, the larger the skill's area of effect and the stronger the repulsive field effect.
Alternatively, one can consume additional mana to maintain the repulsive field, gaining a continuous pushing effect and allowing for short-distance flight. Flight speed is related to the intelligence attribute.
Cooldown: 15 seconds
Description: Divine power is like a prison, repelling all phenomena. Wherever the mind directs, nothing can approach.
"Area damage plus crowd control! Most importantly... it can fly!" A glint flashed in Lin Tian's eyes.
This skill perfectly compensates for his current lack of flight ability, and its push-pull effect, combined with the attraction effect of [Universal Pull], is a perfect match!
He suppressed the urge to try it immediately, took a deep breath, and opened the skill tree for [Starry Sky Mystic].
Beneath [Star Leap], [Purification Radiance], and [Star Ray], another brand-new skill icon is shining brightly.
【Starstorm】
Rank: S
Effect: Connects with the power of distant celestial realms, tearing open a brief astral rift in the sky above a vast target area, summoning a torrent of violent star fragments and destructive energy to form a destructive storm that lasts for 5 seconds.
All enemies within the storm's radius will be continuously attacked, taking (Intelligence × 800%) points of Star attribute spell damage per second, and will be slowed by 30%.
At the moment the storm ends, all the rift energy will violently contract and trigger a final explosion, dealing massive Star attribute spell damage (Intelligence × 2000%) to all enemies within the area, and has a certain probability of inflicting the "Starfall" status on affected enemies, increasing the Star attribute damage they receive by 15% for 10 seconds.
Cost: Consumes 10% of maximum mana
Cooldown: 180 seconds
Description: Invoking the wrath of the stars to unleash the punishment of destruction. This is the manifestation of the destructive aspect of the Starry Sky Mystic Art, using endless starlight to cleanse the world of its filth.
"Powerful AOE, and it also comes with a slow and vulnerability debuff!" Lin Tian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Two new skills, one combining control, damage, and displacement (flight),
One is a continuous and explosive area-of-effect attack.
