The Apocalyptic Black Dragon and Dark Skeleton King each wore a full set of level 35, 4-star all-golden Dark Sets, enhancing their attributes to new heights!
[Dark Skeleton King] (lv35 Rare Grade): Attack 1780, Physical Defense 1300, Magic Defense 1260, Mana 4250, Health Points surpassing five digits!
[Apocalyptic Black Dragon] (lv35 Rare Grade): Attack 2695, surpassing Zhang Yue, a Mythic Grade Necromancer, by over 600!
Thanks to the set and lv2 Black Dragon Bloodline, the Apocalyptic Black Dragon’s attack increased by a whopping 60%!
Defense 900, Health Points 7900, these two attributes are much lower compared to the Skeleton King.
However, in the current context, they are definitely on par with any second class change Knight professional!
For wealthy families like Infinity, Radiant, and the Tian Family, golden equipment is easily obtainable.
But what they can get is only 2-3 star low-grade golden equipment.
At levels 30-40, 4-star equipment is rare and cannot be bought even with money. Even forging requires a large amount of high-grade materials, making a few sets possible, but mass production is out of the question!
Therefore, the equipment on the Skeleton King and Black Dragon is top-tier in the global field of new professionals!
Additionally, there are two rare skill books.
One is a Warrior’s group skill [Sword Storm].
The other is a Mage/Beast Tamer’s [Spirit Storm].
For ordinary professionals, obtaining rare skills is a headache.
Because upgrading rare skills costs double that of ordinary skills!
The consumption of Psionic Energy is enormous in all aspects.
Even top-tier professionals like Tian Yu and Tian Xin’er can be sure that the average grade of their skills does not exceed B-grade!
But Zhang Yue, with a casual investment of Psionic Energy, easily upgraded the D-grade Sword Storm and Spirit Storm to S-grade Sword Shadow Storm and Necromancer Storm!
Just a mere two million Psionic Energy.
For Zhang Yue, it was like plucking a hair from a monkey.
The strength of S-grade rare skills is self-evident.
Sword Shadow Storm: Summons a hundred sword shadows to form a storm within a 30-meter radius, dealing up to three instances of 150% physical damage to enemies within the range, lasts 3 seconds, cooldown 20 seconds.
The Necromancer Storm has a similar effect to the Sword Shadow Storm, as they come from the same manufacturer.
However, the single instance damage is higher, reaching a 180% coefficient!
Its strength surpasses Zhang Yue’s other group rare skill, Hell Judgment!
The cooldown time is also 20 seconds.
Zhang Yue and the Skeleton King each took one of the rare skills.
The Apocalyptic Black Dragon seemed a bit dissatisfied, arrogantly staring at Zhang Yue with its nostrils.
“Don’t worry, the next rare skill is yours.”
The little tsundere turned its head, sulking and ignoring Zhang Yue.
The journey to the Gate of Hell was finally over.
Next, it was time to enhance the bloodline purity of [Demon·Death’s Eye] and see what hidden events this special equipment could trigger!
Of course, it was already late today.
This task could only be left for tomorrow, after the first round of the provincial championships.
So, Zhang Yue casually found a wild area, cleared the red names, and logged off.
The next day, news and advertisements about the [provincial championships] were everywhere.
Temple of Destiny Guild Group:
Wu Haotian: “@Zhang Yue, Boss, are there any special rewards for advancing in the provincial championships?”
Ouyang Ling’er: “I’ll reward you with a big kiss! (sneaky smile)”
Lin Tian: “Let’s talk about it after we advance. Don’t get knocked out in the first round today.”
Wu Haotian: “No way! If I don’t get ten consecutive wins, I’ll take your surname!”
Ning Tiantian: “What if we don’t advance…”
Zhang Yue: “Just give it your all, no pressure.”
At 10 AM, with all the professionals who had emerged from the city-level qualifiers around the world feeling both nervous and excited, the provincial championships finally began!
Participants logged in one after another.
The provincial championships were divided into preliminary, intermediate, and advanced rounds.
Today’s preliminary round consisted of ten matches. Each win earned 8 Glory Points, and winning more than 5 matches advanced you to the intermediate round!
As soon as the time came, Zhang Yue entered the competition.
“Ding~ Your opponent for this match is Shen Ying Fengliu, a professional from the Tianlang Godshadow Guild in Zhening Province. The match begins!”
The Shen Ying Guild, one of the top three guilds in Tianlang, the capital of Zhening Province, ranked in the top ten in the entire province.
Shen Ying Fengliu, a level 34 elite Assassin and Vice President of the Shen Ying Guild, was exceptionally strong!
Seeing his opponent was a Beast Tamer, Shen Ying Fengliu’s eyes gleamed with confidence.
At this moment, Shen Ying Fengliu seemed to believe he had already won!
“A Beast Tamer making it to the provincial championships is no small feat.”
“But there’s no point in going further. Your match ends here!”
With that, Shen Ying Fengliu, using the Assassin’s speed, dashed towards Zhang Yue with a dagger in hand!
Zhang Yue stood still, waiting for the opponent to enter his range.
Boom!
With a slight lift of his staff, an S-rank Skyfire Blaze descended from the sky, hitting the fast-moving Shen Ying Fengliu with pinpoint accuracy.
-9078 Critical Hit!
With his full health bar instantly emptied, Shen Ying Fengliu, who was sprinting at full speed, died on the spot.
“Ding~ Congratulations on defeating your opponent [Shen Ying Fengliu], Glory Points +8!”
On the other side, Shen Ying Fengliu, teleported outside the arena, was still in shock, not understanding what had happened.
He opened the guild chat.
Shen Ying Fengliu: “I got one-shotted by a Beast Tamer’s fireball? Can anyone explain this?!”
Shen Ying Tianxia: “Vice President, did you encounter that Beast Tamer Zero from Coastal City?”
Shen Ying Fengliu: “How do you know? His ID is Zero! Is this guy really strong??”
Shen Ying Wushuang: “Zero, Boss! The one who treats the Infinity Guild like an ATM!! (terrified)(terrified)”
Shen Ying Fengliu: “Damn! He hit me for 9000 with a fireball! If you run into this Zero, just surrender to keep your dignity!”
As the competition moved to the provincial level, the quality of opponents was indeed much higher than in the city-level qualifiers!
In the city-level qualifiers, you often encountered solo professionals, but in the provincial championships, most opponents were guild professionals!
However, for Zhang Yue, it made no difference.
No matter who the opponent was, the battle usually ended in 3 seconds with a single Skyfire Blaze.
He bulldozed his way through, winning ten consecutive matches and easily earning 80 points!
After waiting for over ten minutes, Lin Tian and the others also finished their matches.
As the former Vice President of the Infinity Guild and the former President of the God of War Guild, Rare Grade Flame Knight Wu Haotian and Rare Grade Thunder Mage Lin Tian both achieved ten consecutive wins!
Ouyang Ling’er, after being equipped with some golden gear, also secured eight consecutive wins with her Rogue profession’s unreasonable stealing skills!
Ning Tiantian advanced to the intermediate round with seven consecutive wins.
In today’s preliminary round, Temple of Destiny achieved a 100% advancement rate!
They set a record for new guilds!
After the matches, the five of them left the Safe Zone, Dawn Sanctuary, and headed to the wild.
On the way, Lin Tian remarked, “It’s clear that the opponents in the provincial championships are much stronger than those in the city-level qualifiers. After rounds of elimination, the upcoming matches will only get tougher.”
“Unfortunately, we don’t have the financial backing of guilds like Infinity or Supreme. I’m level 35 now, but I’m still using level 25 gear from when I left Infinity,” Wu Haotian pointed out the key issue.
After a pause, Wu Haotian asked Zhang Yue, “So, what did you get from that Hell Grade Chest yesterday?”
Before Zhang Yue could respond, Ouyang Ling’er chimed in, “It would be great if it contained a million in cash!”
“The most important resource in this world isn’t money.”
As Zhang Yue finished speaking, Ouyang Ling’er and Ning Tiantian asked in unison, “Then what is it?”
“Psionic Energy.” Zhang Yue raised his hand, examining the [Demon Contract] on his left hand, and said, “No matter how much money you have, without Psionic Energy, you can’t take a step in the Otherworld.”
At this moment, everyone noticed the blood crystal ring on Zhang Yue’s hand, which looked distinctly different.
“Isn’t that equipment?” Ouyang Ling’er, knowledgeable about the internet, immediately recognized the type of ring: “That’s a Treasure?!”
“But judging by its quality, it seems to be a Common Grade Treasure. Its value shouldn’t be high!”
Wu Haotian exclaimed, “Expert! You can tell just by looking!”
Zhang Yue glanced at Ouyang Ling’er and said, “You have a good eye, but you missed one thing.”
“Its value is far higher than you can imagine.”
The [Demon Contract]’s [Energy Contract] effect, if used on an ordinary person, wouldn’t be very useful.
It would only increase Psionic Energy gains by 5%.
But on Zhang Yue, who has the Ten Thousand Times Psionic Energy buff, it’s a different story!
Five percent of ten thousand times is still 500 times!
And this is just the effect of the Common Grade. As the grade of the Demon Contract increases, this effect will also increase.
Moreover, the key point is that the Psionic Energy extracted by the Demon Contract can be transferred.
This means that the Treasure breaks the limitation that “Psionic Energy in the Otherworld cannot be traded among professionals,” allowing Zhang Yue’s Ten Thousand Times Psionic Energy to be shared with others!
This means that the entire Temple of Destiny will have unlimited Psionic Energy in the future!
This is a resource that even the wealthy families like Infinity, Radiant, and the Tian Family cannot buy with any amount of money!
