Before Chapter 33? Sorry, I want Chapter 1!
Lin Yuan's current lightning-type ability is at the peak of the 7th level of the first tier, and his actual combat strength is basically invincible below the second tier.
However, this bear is a Tier 2, Level 2 monster with thick skin and tough flesh, making its defense one of the best among monsters of the same tier.
If they clash head-on, he might not be able to break through their defense.
But he did not back down.
He quickly went through the calculations in his mind.
The Purple Lightning is a Tier 2 B-grade weapon, enhanced by a Tier 4 magic core, making its penetrating power far superior to the previous Tier E tungsten steel gun.
The Sands of Time can slow down the Bear's attacks, and the Nine-Wheel Bone Tempering can withstand at least one frontal impact.
The skill level for "Thunder Walks the Nine Heavens" is 13 points short of reaching mastery, which is just enough for this battle.
Can fight!
Lin Yuan leaped down from the hill, and purple lightning pierced out the instant he landed.
He aimed his spear tip at the rock-armored bear's hind leg joint, his favorite starting position.
No matter what kind of monster it is, its joints are always its weak point.
Lightning exploded at the tip of the spear.
"Click..."
It wasn't the sound of joints breaking; it was the sound of the tip of the Purple Lightning spear piercing the seams at the edge of the bone armor plates.
The Rock Armored Bear let out a deafening roar, its massive body suddenly turning around as its right forepaw swept across.
The Sands of Time, activate.
The moment the bear's right paw entered the three-meter range in front of him, its speed visibly slowed down.
Although he was only about 10% slower, it was enough for Lin Yuan to sidestep the palm strike. At the same time, the purple lightning pierced into the bear's armpit, another weak spot that the armor plates could not cover.
[Defeat the Tier 2, Level 2 monster, Rock Armored Berserker Bear, +85 Ability Points]
Ability Points Balance: 640.
[Proficiency in "Thunder Across the Nine Heavens" +15]
[Proficiency in "Thunder Across the Nine Heavens": Master]
I've mastered it.
Lin Yuan drew Zidian, and the spiral patterns on the spearhead lit up for a while before dimming.
He leaned against the still-warm body of the rock-armored bear, panting heavily.
The old injury on my right shoulder was throbbing, and the cooldown time for Sands of Time hadn't expired yet.
But the moment his marksmanship reached mastery, he clearly felt a change in his shooting technique.
Faster, more accurate, and with a higher degree of lightning cohesion.
He took a few breaths and took out his phone to check the time.
It was 6:20, and it was almost dark.
The uncle at the registration station's instruction, "You must come out before dark," still echoed in my ears.
After Lin Yuan finished collecting his spoils, he shouldered his gun and walked back the way he came.
By the time Lin Yuan left the hilly area, it was completely dark.
The uncle at the registration station was smoking at the door. When he saw him walk out of the darkness carrying a gun, he almost dropped his cigarette.
"You've been killing people until now?"
"Um."
The middle-aged man looked him up and down.
Several fresh claw marks appeared on the boy's black clothes, and there was a dark bloodstain on his left shoulder—not his, but that of a monster.
"How many did you kill?"
"Six or seven, I guess," Lin Yuan mumbled, signing off on the registration form with the departure time.
The middle-aged man took the registration form and watched his figure disappear into the direction of the parking lot.
He glanced down at Lin Yuan's signature on the form, then stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.
"Six or seven of them. They lie without even thinking. If you can kill six or seven of them, I'll eat my hat." He repeated to himself, then shook his head.
Shortly after, three injured men came to the uncle to ask for registration forms, muttering something under their breath.
"Holy crap, a kid just single-handedly killed six or seven monsters, including a Tier 2, Level 2 Rock Armored Berserker Bear!"
Upon hearing this, the uncle didn't say a word, but silently walked into the restroom...
......
The hovercar drove back to the city in the night.
Lin Yuan leaned back in his seat and glanced at the system panel.
[Host: Lin Yuan]
[Minor Lightning Strike: Rank E, Tier 1, Level 7 (Peak)]
[Herrscher of Time and Space: S-rank, Tier 1, Level 4]
[Muscle and Bone Tempering: 9 rounds (89% progress)]
【Combat Skill: Thunderclap Across the Nine Heavens (Proficiency: Mastery)】
[Combat Art: Sands of Time (Proficiency: Beginner)]
[Special Ability Points: 640]
He closed his eyes; tomorrow was the college entrance exam for those with superpowers.
There were more than 3,000 test takers in Hangzhou, with the highest level being Level 5.
He is currently at the peak of the seventh level of the first tier, with nine rounds of bone tempering and two combat skills at his disposal, one of which is a fifth-tier spacetime combat skill.
He suddenly remembered Shen Man's words, "If you get into the top ten in Hangzhou, I'll reimburse you for the Zidian (a type of electric scooter)."
Top ten? Sorry, I want number one!
He smiled slightly, hugged Zidian in his arms, found a comfortable position in the back seat of the hovercar, and closed his eyes.
Back in his hotel room, he placed the Purple Lightning against the wall, took out the ten mid-grade Bone Tempering Pills he had bought at the market that day from his storage bag, and lined them up on the table.
He opened the system panel, and his remaining ability points were 640.
Upgrading a mid-grade Bone Tempering Pill to the highest grade requires 60 points per pill.
Lin Yuan quickly did some mental calculations.
Upgrading all ten requires 600 points, leaving just 40 points for pocket money.
Although it hurt a bit, 600 points was enough for him to push his lightning-type ability from the peak of level 7 of the first tier to more than level 8 of the first tier, but the quality of the Bone Tempering Pill directly determined the effect of bone tempering, so he couldn't skimp on this money.
"Upgrade everything."
[Consuming 60 Ability Points x 10, the Intermediate Bone Tempering Pill is upgraded to a Supreme Bone Tempering Pill]
[Remaining Ability Points: 40]
The colors of the ten pills slowly changed under the influence of the system's power.
The medicinal fragrance had actually faded, almost undetectable. This was because the medicinal power of the top-grade pill was completely contained, with not a trace leaking out.
Lin Yuan took the pills down to the training room on the first basement floor and swiped his card to enter the lightning-specific room.
Close the door and sit cross-legged in the center of the room.
The honeycomb pattern on the energy-absorbing wall glowed slightly, sensing the fluctuations of his supernatural energy and automatically entering standby mode.
One. Two. Three.
The potency of a top-grade mid-level Bone Tempering Pill is more than one level greater than that of a low-grade one.
When the medicine takes effect in the body, it no longer feels warm, but rather burning.
His strong bones and muscles prevented him from fainting from the pain, but it still caused the veins on his forehead to bulge and beads of sweat to drip onto the floor.
Four. Five. Six.
The golden bone patterns on the surface of the bones deepened and spread under the influence of the medicine, extending from the scapula to the collarbone, from the collarbone to the sternum, and from the sternum to the ribs.
Seven. Eight. Nine.
淬骨进度从89%一路攀升——91%、93%、95%、97%、98%……
The tenth one.
The medicinal power exploded within his body, and golden bone patterns spread to the end of his spine, just a hair's breadth away from covering his entire body...
The progress is stuck at 99%.
It stopped moving.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes and looked down at his hands.
The golden bone patterns of the Nine-Round Bone Tempering have spread all over every bone in his body, except for the one in the very center of his spine, between his shoulder blades.
