Even with a single drop of blood, I will still be invincible!

[You destroyed the body of "Franklin the Forgotten," gaining an additional 70% experience bonus, for a total of 1275 million experience points.] (This is an effect that stacks with other levels and titles; it will not be listed separately in the future.)

[Congratulations to player "White Night" for reaching level 16, with +1 to all four stats, +1 skill point, and +15 free attribute points.]

[Congratulations to player "White Night" for reaching level 17, with +1 to all four stats, +1 skill point, and +15 free attribute points.]

Two golden lights flashed in succession, and Su Mubai's level directly increased to level 17.

But he frowned and murmured in confusion, "Body?"

The notification sound just now didn't indicate that Franklin was killed, but only that his body was destroyed.

In Su Mubai's opinion, the experience points also did not match the difficulty of an epic-level BOSS.

It's important to know that the skeletons and shadow knights that the opponent summoned earlier were all inexperienced.

Furthermore, the announcement for the first solo kill of an epic-level boss was not triggered!

In other words, Franklin was not completely killed.

With his extensive gaming experience, Su Mubai quickly figured it out: Franklin was a lich, and his soul should be in the Life Box.

Only by finding and destroying the phylactery can a lich be truly killed!

"Where is this guy's life-saving casket hidden?"

Su Mubai looked at the corpse, which hadn't fallen anything, and stroked his chin.

The final 10% of exploration time is very likely to lead to finding Franklin's cryptex.

"Roar!!!"

Not far away, the undead bone dragon, Kakus, suddenly roared, interrupting Su Mubai's thoughts.

His gaze turned cold, and he turned to look at them.

It turns out that the first enhanced skeleton warrior has returned to its original state.

Immediately afterwards, a system notification sounded.

[Note: Your stored death energy has reached its limit. You can continue to absorb it after consuming it.]

"It seems that you are the first epic boss to be solo killed."

Seeing Kakus suddenly regain his strength, Su Mubai narrowed his eyes slightly, a thought forming in his mind.

The second enhanced skeleton warrior immediately charged at Kakus, suppressing him once again.

At the same time, Su Mubai activated his skill again.

[Feedback on Death]!

[Notification: You have consumed all your Death Energy to enhance the target Skeleton Warrior's main attribute by 640%.]

This time, it was the Skeleton Warriors who were able to regain their former glory.

His size doubled again, and he slashed at Kakus with his greatsword.

[Heavy Strike]!

At the same time, the second skeleton warrior also arrived.

[Heavy Strike]!

Two million damage numbers popped up, and although Kakus felt no pain, he was still struck by the terrifying power of the two skeleton warriors and roared repeatedly.

It was no match for the opponent in a one-on-one fight to begin with, and now that it was facing two against one, it was completely powerless to fight back.

In addition, its size is large enough that, besides the two enhanced skeleton warriors, it also has to withstand the attacks of the entire skeleton army.

Of course, it only needs to withstand the attacks of 320 skeletons, because there are still twenty skeleton warriors in Su Mubai's [Summoning Space].

Even so, Kakus was powerless to fight back.

Judging from the stats, he's not much worse than Franklin, and even has nearly half as much health.

But in reality, the latter was far more troublesome than him.

Because besides bone spikes, he can only rely on physical damage output, and his last skill, [Death Storm], is just another form of attack with bone spikes.

Comparatively speaking, Franklin, as a lich, is far more powerful than Kakus.

A minute later, Su Mubai stared at Kakus again, causing this epic-level boss to die in fear.

[Defeat the level 20 epic boss "Undead Bone Dragon - Kakus" to receive an additional 70% experience bonus, totaling 2500 million experience points.]

[Congratulations to player "White Night" for reaching level 18, with +1 to all four stats, +1 skill point, and +15 free attribute points.]

[Congratulations to player "White Night" for reaching level 19, with +1 to all four stats, +1 skill point, and +15 free attribute points.]

Two golden lights flashed again, and the abundant experience points instantly leveled Su Mubai up to level 19 by 32.28%!

"The transition from 19 to 20 is indeed a small hurdle."

Looking at the experience points required to reach level 20, Su Mubai had an "I knew it" look on his face.

Starting from level 10, the experience required for each level up only increases by 100 million. From level 18 to 19, only 900 million experience points are needed.

However, the experience requirement to reach level 20 has suddenly increased to 2000 million.

"It seems that in this multiverse game, many players who awaken low-level talents don't even qualify to be cannon fodder."

Looking at his experience bar, Su Mubai narrowed his eyes slightly.

The level gap in the game is definitely greater than imagined.

Most players who awaken low-level talents will eventually become full-time casual players if they don't have special opportunities.

To keep up with the leveling speed of the mainstream group, you need at least a C-level or even a B-level talent.

The game world is even more brutal than the real world!

Kakus's experience points are exactly twice that of Franklin, which confirms Su Mubai's conjecture.

The other half of the experience points and drops can only be obtained by destroying the Life Box.

After adding the free attribute points, the system notification that Su Mubai had been longing for finally sounded.

[Congratulations on becoming the first player in the Blue Star region to solo an epic-level boss! Rewards: +100 to main attribute, +50 skill points, and 50 intermediate-level life stones.]

[Announcement: A notice for the Blue Star region will be released soon.]

The difficulty of epic-level bosses is drastically different, and the reward for achieving the first solo kill is far greater than that of legendary-level bosses.

Whether it's 100 points of main attribute or 50 points of skill, it's an invaluable asset for any player.

But what Su Mubai cared about most were the 50 [Intermediate Life Soul Stones]!

At least he had achieved this much by getting things for free, but if he had started at the intermediate level, it would have been a completely different story.

Looking at the intermediate-level life soul stone in his backpack, Su Mubai had a thought.

[Catastrophe]!

[Goal: 50 Intermediate Soul Stones]!

[Hint: Please select the promotion rank: Tier 1/Tier 2/Tier 3.] (Click to view details)

Option 1: Upgrade to [Advanced Soul Stone], no cost.

Option 2: Upgrade to [Soul Crystal], each crystal costs 1 million Soul Coins.

Option 3: Cataclysm to [Life Essence], each consuming 1000 years of lifespan.

Looking at the options [Life Soul Crystal] and [Life Soul Essence], Su Mubai's eyes burned with desire, but he couldn't raise them.

Leaving aside his 1000-year lifespan, he didn't even know what Soul Coins were.

Shaking his head helplessly, Su Mubai could only choose to get something for free.

"Advanced to the next rank!"

You have obtained 50 "High-Grade Soul Stones".
