I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 101: Encountering the Desert Fruit Again, the Opening Ceremony Arrives

This is the last time; Jiang Chen plans to finish this training session and then it will be over.

This is the ninth time I've entered the Tyrant Desert instance.

This time, Jiang Chen finally got his wish and encountered the desert fruit.

His joy was palpable.

With the Desert Fruit, his two spells will be able to reach their peak.

If everything goes as he wishes, his skill level will increase in tandem with his character level after reaching its peak.

At this point, you are only 1% away from leveling up. If you wait until level 22 to train your skills, you will need to train for an extra level.

"Desert Fruit!"

"This is a sacred relic for mages to improve their skills."

"Haha, I didn't expect we would actually find it."

Someone laughed loudly, reaching out to grab the desert fruit.

Suddenly, a skeleton appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

Jiang Chen said with a serious expression, "We have an agreement. The desert fruit belongs to me. The rest will be yours after my skills are upgraded."

Indeed, they had made this agreement before entering the instance.

Someone protested, "There are so many desert fruits here, why should they all belong to you?"

Jiang Chen looked at him coldly, "Say one more word and I'll kick you out." As the captain, he had the right to kick someone out of the team.

Here, once you are kicked out of the party, you will automatically leave the instance.

This will cause the mission to fail.

The man immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word.

But you could still see his dissatisfaction in his eyes.

He wasn't the only one; there were several others.

Jiang Chen didn't need to pay attention to their thoughts; the skeleton mage and skeleton guards had already protected every desert fruit.

No one can take away his skill-enhancing artifact.

If someone is truly blind to the truth, then all that awaits them is death.

Faced with the skeletal warriors who resembled an army, these people chose to remain silent.

Jiang Chen didn't care what complaints they would have after the dungeon ended. "Why did a strong wind suddenly start blowing?"

"This wind is unusual; it's chilly."

"This must be the effect of Jiang Chen's spell."

Jiang Chen began to use magic.

His body was covered in layers of skeletal armor.

Each time a spell is cast, it triggers a strong wind.

As the number of spells cast increased, the surrounding temperature began to drop.

A chill swept over us.

A level 1 skeleton armor only requires 10 points of mental energy.

It's quite fast to cultivate.

Upon reaching level 2, the mental energy consumption also increases to 20 points.

Jiang Chen swallowed the desert fruit, continuously activating his skeletal armor, without any concern about running out of magic power. The desert fruit was truly amazing.

Therefore, it is also hailed as a sacred object for mages to enhance their skills.

Unfortunately, it cannot be harvested and stored.

Moreover, the chances of it happening are extremely rare.

Everyone watched as Jiang Chen devoured the desert fruits one by one, his magic continuously improving.

They were all incredibly jealous.

But no one dared to take any action.

The Skeleton Mage Corps is no joke, especially since Jiang Chen is their captain.

Once you're kicked out of the team, all your efforts will be in vain.

Some people's eyes showed jealousy, and some even looked at him with hatred, as if Jiang Chen had stolen something from them.

Jiang Chen ignored them. Anyone who wanted to take it was welcome to try.

Without considering resource consumption, the Skeleton Armor trains very quickly, reaching level 21 in just half an hour. "Skeleton Armor (Level 21): Summons skeletons to form an armor, providing 2100 points of Constitution defense for 5 minutes. This skill can also be used on others."

A level 21 skeletal armor provides 2100 points of defense based on constitution.

Even without talent enhancement, this skill is extremely powerful.

A mage of the same level would have a physical attribute of just over 300.

Even with equipment bonuses, the attribute increase is at most 400 to 500.

However, the skeletal armor provides 2100 defense.

It's even stronger than a mage's shield, not to mention it can be cast on others.

If we also take into account the 30x boost from talent...

That's equivalent to 63000 points of defense. Jiang Chen felt that even if he just stood there and let the Tyrant hit him, the Tyrant wouldn't be able to break through his defense.

Jiang Chen felt that even without the skeletons, as long as he had enough mental strength, he could confront the tyrant head-on.

The damage from Soul Burn is not insignificant.

With the Bone Armor fully trained, the next step is to train the Slowing Curse.

Crimson light burst forth in patches, enveloping the yellow sandy land.

The curse, accompanied by a buzzing sound, like a voice from hell, came to earth.

As the skill level increases, the red light becomes stronger and covers a wider area.

Later, when the slow curse was unleashed, it seemed as if the entire world was enveloped in the curse's range.

"Slow Curse (Level 21): Curses enemies within a 105-meter radius, reducing their speed by 105% for 1 minute."

With the help of talent bonuses.

Within a range of 3150 meters, the speed was at least 3150%, a decrease of 31 times.

Once the curse is cast, it is enough to turn most enemies into slow motion.

Moreover, the area is too large, 3150 meters.

Even in military battles, this area is enough to cover a large portion of the battlefield.

Jiang Chen tried to cast a slowing curse on the sky.

With a whooshing sound, the entire sky turned crimson.

It was as if the world had been shrouded in crimson, a terrifying sight.

To others, regardless of the skill's effectiveness, it's at least quite frightening.

Jiang Chen was quite satisfied; the only skill he had left was Corpse Explosion, which was still only at level 3. But there was no way around it; he'd have to find corpses to practice on.

There are about one-third of the desert fruits left, about sixty or seventy.

It's no longer of any use to Jiang Chen.

He picked three more.

"You can divide the rest among yourselves. I'm going into the ant hole. You wait here and don't come in."

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he entered the ant hole, and then a series of explosions rang out from inside the hole.

Desert fruits can only be kept for five minutes after being picked.

Jiang Chen used those five minutes to his advantage, disregarding the energy expenditure. He blasted his way through the cave, consuming one energy point whenever his mental energy was depleted, and then continued blasting.

They did not spare any corpse.

The entire ant cave shook violently.

Outside the anthill, everyone's faces lit up with joy upon hearing Jiang Chen's words. They rushed over, scrambling for the desert fruits.

Desert fruits are sacred objects used to cultivate skills; even just one or two are enough to raise their skills by one or two levels.

The scene was extremely chaotic for a while.

These people even fought each other over the desert fruit.

Jiang Chen completely ignored them.

He couldn't care less what happened to these people.

They're really just a bunch of clowns.

The relationship between the two parties is purely transactional; he takes the money and covers the principal, and nothing else is discussed.

The next day, Lu Qingyu and Han Li left the dormitory hand in hand.

After spending a night together, the two quickly became close and could talk about anything.

Han Li didn't talk much, but she still talked much more than Jiang Chen.

At least Lu Qingyu could communicate with her normally. Unlike Jiang Chen, who couldn't even utter a loud fart after a long time.

Han Li was very curious about Jiang Chen, the top scorer in the national exam, and most of their conversations revolved around him.

Lu Qingyu treated us to breakfast in the cafeteria.

Lu Qingyu readily agreed: "From now on, I'll cover your food expenses."

Miss Lu doesn't care where gold coins can be used.

They're rich, so they can do whatever they want.

After finishing their meal, the two went to the school square.

The opening ceremony will be held there.

At 8 a.m., there was still an hour before the opening ceremony.

Many students have already arrived.

The people basically gathered together by province.

Lu Qingyu and Han Li met Feng Xiu after they arrived.

Feng Xiu was dressed in a long robe, carrying a long sword on his back, looking heroic and extraordinary.

Lu Qingyu could tell at a glance that Feng Xiu's family background was also very good.

A refined demeanor is not something that can be cultivated casually.

Feng Xiu stood there, his aura was striking, and he was very eye-catching.

Many female classmates looked at Feng Xiu, their beautiful eyes shining brightly.

"so hot."

"A swordsman, that's so cool."

"I think I'm ready to fall in love."

The female students' eyes lit up, but Feng Xiu didn't care at all; he was already used to it.

Upon seeing Lu Qingyu and Han Li, Feng Xiu walked over and greeted them.

"Hello you all."

Lu Qingyu smiled and said, "You're very popular." Feng Xiu looked helpless; he was also having a headache over this issue.

The conversation shifted abruptly: "Have you seen Jiang Chen?"

Lu Qingyu shook her head: "No, this guy should be coming."

Feng Xiu looked into the distance: "They will definitely come."

Outside the dungeon hall, Jiang Chen and the others left the dungeon.

The last group of people has been trained.

It's 8:30 a.m. now, and there's still half an hour until the opening ceremony.

You still have time.

I checked my own attributes and skills.

After completing this dungeon, I finally reached level 22.

As he expected, his skills improved along with his level.

Jiang Chen understood the characteristics of his profession. As long as he cultivated his skills to the maximum level, which matched his own level, his skills would level up along with him when he leveled up.

This puts you ahead of many professions.

I turned in the quest at the quest center first.

I exchanged all the materials that could be converted into points.

He owned all the materials from the eight dungeons, accumulating a large amount of them.

Each dungeon run requires 2500 points, and you can get half of that back just by exchanging materials.

In addition, there were the six times I led people through dungeons later on.

Jiang Chen earned approximately 24 points.

His points have now reached 35.

They definitely belong to the wealthy class.

In Jiang Chen's eyes, these points were far from enough.

One intermediate skill scroll costs 80,000 points, and 350,000 points are only enough to buy four. Four intermediate skill scrolls are a drop in the ocean.

If you buy it with gold coins, it costs 1000 million per piece, making the price ridiculously expensive.

"It's still early, let's find a way to earn more points."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then left the dungeon hall and headed to the university square, where most of the new students had arrived.

The opening ceremony is about to begin.

Lu Qingyu was a little anxious: "Why hasn't this guy arrived yet?"

"There are only 10 minutes left."

Feng Xiu suddenly looked in one direction: "They've arrived."

A tall, straight figure began to appear in their field of vision.
