Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

Xu Hao hurried to the entrance of the centipede cave. The air inside was filled with a damp and rotten smell. Where there are many insects, the stench is naturally unbearable.

He looked around and saw that the first floor was bustling with people, with players busy fighting monsters in every corner. Xu Hao frowned slightly, thinking to himself that at this rate, it would be difficult to find a suitable place to level up.

We need to find a secluded spot, otherwise all this fire talisman and lightning is too conspicuous.

With his extensive gaming experience, he decided to venture deeper. Passing through a dimly lit and narrow connecting passage, he finally arrived at the narrow passageway. It was relatively quiet here, with only the occasional dripping sound; he didn't appear to be any other players.

Xu Hao nodded in satisfaction, thinking that this place was perfect for focusing on fighting monsters.

He quickly adjusted his stance and began to lock onto the giant worms around him. These worms were enormous, with slimy skin and an unsettling greenish sheen.

Xu Hao signaled the skeletons to go first, while he followed behind with fire spells and lightning, quickly taking down countless skeletons.

Despite its disgusting appearance, the giant worm is actually the most popular monster in the Centipede Cave.

In comparison, the creatures in the Centipede Cave are all quite similar. The Jumping Bees have 210 experience points and are the easiest to defeat, but they only appear on the first floor.

The centipede provides 230 experience points, but it has high magic resistance, making it difficult for mages to defeat. The black maggot, while having low health, boasts high magic and physical defense, and is extremely fast, but only provides 180 experience points.

(If it's not a pet I summoned myself, the Black Evil Maggot is actually the monster I hate the most. It's fast, has high defense, and gives low experience. What's worst is that it can affect your movement. If there are a few of these things when fighting a group of monsters, the difficulty increases by 40%.)

As for the pincers, they have 260 experience points and incredibly high magic and defense, almost like the red pigs, making them a very unprofitable opponent.

The giant worm is pretty nice; it also gives 230 experience points. Of all the monsters, it's the weakest, except for the jumping bee.

As time went on, centipedes and black maggots appeared one after another. The black maggots were swift, and Xu Hao had to be on high alert. If he was surrounded by several, he would have to use his invisibility spell in time, otherwise he might be in danger.

Xu Hao skillfully dodged their attacks, then swiftly counterattacked, his movements agile and preventing him from being surrounded. The centipedes, however, were more cunning, always attempting to ambush from the shadows. Xu Hao used his expert techniques to kill them one by one.

Occasionally, a small number of pincers can be encountered here, but Xu Hao can handle them.

After several hours of hard work, Xu Hao's experience bar was almost full, just a little short of reaching level 23. He was basking in the thrill of about to level up when suddenly, Zi Yu sent him a message. Xu Hao stopped what he was doing, opened it, and saw that Zi Yu was asking where he was.

Xu Hao was engrossed in the battle, his eyes gleaming with excitement. Without thinking too much, he quickly replied, "I'm at the First Line of Heaven." As soon as he sent the message, he threw himself back into the fight, alternating between fire talismans and lightning bolts to kill the ever-surging monsters.

After a while, Zi Yu replied: "Brother Xu Hao, wait for me, I'm coming right away. I have something to discuss with you." Xu Hao glanced at the message, a slight thought flickering in his heart, and a smile appeared on his lips. He knew what Zi Yu's arrival meant—if the two of them worked together, their leveling efficiency would be higher, and with her around, he wouldn't have to be on high alert all the time, allowing him to relax a little.

Am I overlooking something? Oh well, never mind!

Thinking of this, Xu Hao quickened his pace, wanting to accumulate more experience before Zi Yu arrived. Reaching level 23 would be even better.

He nimbly weaved among the monsters, precisely unleashing his skills, killing monsters while waiting for Purple Rain.

An hour later, Zi Yu finally arrived at the narrow passage where Xu Hao was. She stepped gently into the relatively quiet area, the sound of dripping water still echoing in her ears from time to time. Zi Yu looked around, her gaze quickly locking onto Xu Hao not far away.

At this moment, Xu Hao was focused intently on confronting a pincer insect. He stood behind a protruding rock, his hand gathering flickering lightning, his expression focused. With a flick of his wrist, a dazzling bolt of lightning, like a silver serpent, tore through the air and struck the pincer insect directly. Struck by the lightning, the pincer insect let out a piercing screech before crashing heavily to the ground.

This scene left Zi Yu, who had just arrived, dumbfounded. She stood a short distance away, almost forgetting to breathe, her eyes filled with disbelief. Wasn't Brother Xu Hao always a Taoist priest? Thinking this, she couldn't help but take a few steps forward, her voice filled with surprise and doubt: "Brother Xu Hao, you...you're not a Taoist priest? How...how can you also use lightning magic?"

Oh no!! What did I mean by forgetting something?!

Xu Hao then noticed Zi Yu's arrival, gave an awkward smile, and wondered how to make up a story.

Xu Hao smiled awkwardly. This girl is so naive, she should be easy to fool, right?

“Ziyu, actually, this matter is a bit complicated.” Xu Hao said mysteriously, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes. “That day, I was leveling up in the Stone Tomb Formation, and I was really into it when suddenly, the surrounding environment seemed to change.”

Attracted by his tone, Zi Yu leaned forward slightly, listening intently. Seeing this, Xu Hao continued, "I didn't think much of it at the time. But not long after, an old man in black suddenly appeared in front of me. His appearance seemed to come out of nowhere, which startled me."

"An old man in black?" Zi Yu asked curiously.

“Yes, he looked very mysterious, shrouded in a thin layer of black mist, with only a pair of deep eyes showing,” Xu Hao described, as if he could really see the old man. “He told me that he had a special mission, and if I completed it, I would gain unexpected abilities.”

"And then?" Ziyu couldn't help but ask.

“Of course I agreed.” Xu Hao smiled and continued, “The task wasn’t easy, but with my experience and a bit of luck, I managed to complete it. The old man was very satisfied. He walked up to me and gently patted the top of my head. At that moment, I felt a warm current flow into my body, as if something had been activated.”

Zi Yu listened intently, her eyes sparkling with anticipation: "Then you'll be able to use mage skills?"

“Yes.” Xu Hao nodded. “The old man told me that I had awakened a second profession and could learn mage skills. He also said that this is an extremely rare ability that only a very few people can obtain.”

Zi Yu nodded thoughtfully, seemingly convinced by Xu Hao's story. Xu Hao breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't press the matter further.

You think this can fool you? Girl, if you went into the real world, you'd probably be pregnant by scumbags several times over!
