Chapter 75: Crushing Victory! Dungeon Clear!
Chapter 75: Crushing Victory! Dungeon Clear!
In theory, the effectiveness of a skill is influenced by the caster's level.
For example…
A level 10 job holder’s control skill cannot affect a level 50 job holder.
This is because every skill has a note: "This skill is ineffective against targets more than 20 levels higher than the caster."
Of course…
The level limitation varies with each skill.
F-level skills are ineffective against targets more than 1 level higher.
E-level skills are ineffective against targets more than 5 levels higher.
D-level skills are ineffective against targets more than 10 levels higher.
C-level skills are ineffective against targets more than 15 levels higher.
B-level skills are ineffective against targets more than 20 levels higher.
A-level skills are ineffective against targets more than 25 levels higher.
S-level skills are ineffective against targets more than 30 levels higher.
Additionally…
The greater the level difference, the weaker the effect.
For example, a binding skill might last 5 seconds on a target 5 levels higher but only 2 seconds on a target 10 levels higher.
This is known as the "level advantage."
This also leads to a common societal phenomenon in this world: level discrimination.
Higher levels discriminate against lower levels as a matter of course.
This is why everyone pursues leveling up—not only to gain more attribute points and unlock more skills but also to minimize the impact of control skills from others.
As a level 1 dragon pet, why can Xiaohan’s skill affect the level 30 Platinum 5-star boss, the Winged Demon Tiger King?
This is the reason.
Plus, Xiaohan’s holy dragon bloodline inherently possesses an unrivaled crushing nature against all creatures, allowing the 70% weakening effect to fully manifest on the Winged Demon Tiger King.
Ding!!
At this moment, a notification from the Secret Realm Spirit finally arrived.
[Congratulations to freshman Qin Fan for successfully clearing the Platinum-level Secret Realm dungeon ‘Demon Tiger Forest’!]
[Current difficulty: Hell level.]
[Clear time: 2 minutes 32 seconds.]
[Performance rating: SSS.]
[Time rating: SSS.]
[Overall rating: SSS.]
[Your achievement has been successfully uploaded to the Feng Tian Academy data center.]
[Rewards for clearing the dungeon will be distributed in one minute. Freshman Qin Fan, please collect them in time.]
…
Hmm…
This clear time is just barely satisfactory.
After all, a bit of time was wasted at the beginning due to the two little dragons seeking attention.
But it’s no big deal.
This achievement is definitely enough to break the record.
Qin Fan checked the school’s app for information about the Secret Realm before going to bed last night.
He remembered that the best record for the Demon Tiger Forest was over 7 minutes.
It was a solo speed record set by a senior in the third year.
It was said she didn’t eliminate other monsters and went straight for the boss.
But in Qin Fan’s case…
Sorry, full extermination.
And it only took a little over 2 minutes to clear.
This is the advantage of being a Dragon Master!
Buzz!
While Qin Fan was reflecting.
The Secret Realm rewards arrived on schedule!
A treasure chest emitting a purple-gold light appeared before him.
Without any hesitation, he opened it directly!
Ding!
[Brave warrior! Congratulations on clearing the ‘Demon Tiger Forest’ Secret Realm dungeon!]
[The following are your exclusive rewards for clearing the Secret Realm!]
[Reward ①: 300,000 experience points.]
[Reward ②: 300 skill points, 300 free attribute points.]
[Reward ③: Title ‘Tiger Subduer’!]
[Reward ④: Weapon ‘Tiger King Giant Axe’ (Level 25, Purple grade)!]
[Reward ⑤: Accessory ‘Demon Devouring Necklace’ (Level 25, Purple grade)!]
[Due to the challenger’s excellent performance and record-breaking achievement, extra rewards are triggered!]
[Reward ⑥: S-level universal skill book ‘Divine Flash’!]
[Reward ⑦: A-level talent ‘Demon-Breaking Eye’!]
…
Abundant!
Absolutely abundant!
Qin Fan's eyes lit up with intense joy!
Even without looking at the other rewards, the 300,000 experience points alone excited him greatly!
It’s important to know that Beastmasters, Dragon Masters, and other pet-owning professions share the experience gained from clearing Secret Realms with their pets!
This means that Xiaohan, who is only level 1, will receive 300,000 experience points!
“Ga wu?”
At this moment, the pet-formed Xiaojiu lay beside the treasure chest, along with Xiaohan, curiously inspecting the treasures.
Driven by curiosity, Xiaojiu stretched out a little dragon claw, grabbed the 300-pound ‘Tiger King Giant Axe,’ sniffed it, and then bit down.
While counting the rewards, Qin Fan suddenly heard a ‘crack.’
He turned his head.
To his astonishment, he saw that the level 25 Purple-grade giant axe had been bitten by the little dragon, leaving a notch!
“Ah! My 2,000 credits!”
Qin Fan wailed.
A level 25 Purple-grade giant axe could sell for 2,000 credits to new warrior students.
After all, entering this Platinum-level Secret Realm cost 1,000 credits just for the ticket.
Now, with the axe bitten, its price dropped to 1,000 credits!
1,000 credits!
How much meat could that buy?
Qin Fan now felt like a father being financially drained by his little daughters.
Xiaohan, seeing Qin Fan wail, burst into giggles.
The mischievous Xiaojiu, seeing its sister laugh, joined in with cheerful giggles.
“No more biting things, understand? This is your food money!”
“If you bite it again, we won’t be able to buy meat!”
Qin Fan pretended to scare the two little dragons.
Sure enough.
Hearing they wouldn’t get meat, the two little foodies sat obediently without biting anything.
With the two mischievous little dragons settled down, Qin Fan finally had time to check his loot.
[Tiger Subduer (Title): Strength +20; Damage to tiger-type monsters +10%.]
As usual, a minimal boost title.
…
[Equipment: Demon Devouring Necklace.]
[Grade: Purple.]
[Level: 25.]
[Class: Unlimited.]
[Attributes: Intelligence +50; Agility +30.]
[Enchantment effect: Generates a magic shield equal to 20% of your maximum HP; while the shield is active, your defense and magic resistance increase by 10%.]
[Note: The magic shield has a 10-minute cooldown after being broken.]
Good stuff!
Though the cooldown is a bit long, the magic shield's bonus while active makes it a fine piece of jewelry.
Great…
Sell it!
At least 5,000 credits!
To be honest, Qin Fan wanted to keep the Demon Devouring Necklace for himself.
But thinking about raising two gold-eating little dragons, he could only part with it reluctantly.
As for the level 25 Purple-grade giant axe…
The notch made by Xiaojiu was obvious, not worth looking at anymore, low price of 1,000 credits.
Finally…
The main event!
[Divine Flash (S): For 60 seconds, allows you to perform three long-distance, barrier-ignoring flashes.]
Note:
① This skill has a 5-minute cooldown.
② Each flash can cover up to 1,000 meters.
Divine skill!!
A true mobility divine skill!
Qin Fan’s eyes were filled with joy!
Wow!
Each flash can cover up to 1,000 meters!
This means, with Divine Flash used consecutively three times, you can move 3,000 meters from the original point!
“This skill…”
“Whether for offense or retreat, it’s a top-tier divine skill!”
“No wonder everyone at this level wants to conquer this Platinum Secret Realm; breaking the record triggers such high-level rewards!”
Qin Fan was deeply impressed.
Some might find it strange.
Why would a 20-25 level Platinum small Secret Realm drop such high-level skill books?
Shouldn't higher-level, more difficult Secret Realms drop them?
Wouldn't high-level experts come here to farm records easily for S-level divine skills?
Here’s the misconception.
It was mentioned earlier.
Every Secret Realm dungeon has entry-level requirements.
Take the Demon Tiger Forest Secret Realm, for instance; its level requirement is 20-25.
This means…
Anyone below level 20 or above level 25 cannot enter this Secret Realm.
A level 100 expert can force entry into this Secret Realm, sure.
But it would trigger the collapse and destruction of the entire Secret Realm.
Therefore…
Those who achieve the highest rewards in their respective level Secret Realms are truly exceptionally gifted.
Now let’s look at the A-level talent.
[Demon-Breaking Eye (A): Enhances your dynamic, static, and long-distance vision significantly; reveals the magic flow trajectory of opponent’s spells.]
Another excellent item!
It’s worth noting…
The moment the treasure chest was opened, Qin Fan automatically acquired the A-level talent.
After all, it’s intangible, unlike skill books, items, or equipment.
Ding!
[Your experience bar is full. Do you want to level up directly?]
[Your dragon pets Xiaojiu and Yingjiu’s experience bars are full. Do you want to level them up directly?]
At this moment, two prompts echoed in his mind.
Without hesitation.
Qin Fan first upgraded his two dragon pets!
Buzz!!
In an instant.
A profound and vast wave of energy poured out!
The two little dragons sitting obediently on the ground began to glow brightly.
Through the light.
Qin Fan could clearly see the holy markings on their bodies lighting up again.
This was a sign
of another bloodline awakening!
…
…
Meanwhile.
Outside, in the Secret Realm hall.
Buzz!!
Spatial fluctuations emerged from another hall's magic array.
Soon…
Three teams appeared simultaneously.
“Wow! As expected of equally matched prodigies! They came out at almost the same time!”
“That’s normal; Demon Tiger Forest is a ‘one mirror to the end’ mode, allowing teams to ignore monsters and head straight for the boss. It’s all about how fast you can kill the boss, so it makes sense that Luo Hao, Bai Wushuang, and others returned around the same time.”
“Huh? That Qin Fan has been in there for a long time! He hasn’t come out yet!”
“Did he die in there?”
“No idea… After all, there’s no live feed from inside.”
“No need to look; he’s probably stuck by monsters, not even seeing the boss.”
“…”
The surrounding students’ discussions made Luo Hao and Bai Wushuang even more composed.
Even Luo Tao turned to Su Rou, implying, “Sister Su Rou, you should be glad you made the right choice…”
