[Ding! You have killed a Silverback Mantis (LV25) and obtained the material - Silverback Mantis's Great Scythe]

[Ding! You have killed...]

System notifications kept ringing.

Jiang Yuan picked up all the items and put them in his backpack.

It wasn't that he didn't want to check, but the circumstances didn't allow it.

"Buzz..."

The magic circle on the ground lit up, and the wooden ground carried him upwards rapidly like an elevator.

It stopped very quickly.

[Ding! You have arrived at the seventh level of the Lost Giant Tree. Recommended level: lv20-lv30]

We've arrived in a new area.

Jiang Yuan released the Martial God clone that he had already recalled, and only then did he have time to check his gains.

The biggest gains are undoubtedly the equipment and skill books.

A high-level, rare blade-type weapon can sell for tens of millions in the Starfield; if it also has special attribute modifiers, it will be even more expensive.

With a mix of excitement and anticipation, Jiang Yuan used the identification method.

【Silver Fang】(High-level Rare): One-handed weapon. When equipped, attack +25, attack speed +25, speed +20, critical hit +15, armor penetration +10. Has a certain chance to cause armor cracking effect. Durability 100/100. Equipment requirement: lv15.

【One-Sword Style - Armor Rip. Silver Slash】: Intermediate Skill Book, Active Skill, Warrior Type Skill, consumes 10% of Stamina to cast, range 100 yards. Damage +180%, Critical Damage +120%, inflicts Rupture, Armor Penetration, and Deep Wounds effects, 20-second cooldown. Learning Requirements: LV15, Strength over 500.

"The level is just right."

Jiang Yuan smiled.

"study."

[Ding! You have learned the intermediate skill - One-Sword Style - Armor Ripple. Silver Slash]

Equip the [Silver Fang] and distribute the free attribute points evenly.

Jiang Yuan's attribute panel rose again.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the current attribute panel looks terrifying to me."

"Second-tier can be easily killed, third-tier can unleash a few skills."

"As long as I don't encounter any level 4 elite monsters, I don't even need to use my talents."

"However, it's just a college entrance exam instance, so there shouldn't be any Tier 4 monsters."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he stretched comfortably.

"Oh right, there seems to be a hidden item as well."

Use the identification again.

【Heart of Flower Ruins】(Hidden Item): In a certain area of ​​the seventh floor of the Lost Giant Tree, there exists a mysterious place called Flower Ruins. It is said that an ancient secret is buried there, and this item is the key to unlocking the secret.

"The seventh floor, Flower Ruins, a secret?" Jiang Yuan asked, somewhat surprised.

There's even a hidden map inside the dungeon.

Weird.

Who designed this?

I didn't think much of it.

Store the item in the warehouse.

After doing all this.

Jiang Yuan looked around.

The seventh floor is different from the dark and damp environment of the lower floors with poisonous insects. It is brightly lit, the air is dry, and the plants are bright and huge, and there is nothing unusual about it.

only……

Jiang Yuan took a step forward.

"Whoosh!"

A flower bloomed on a giant vine, and a beam of light shot out with a whoosh.

Jiang Yuan's left arm was hit, tearing his school uniform and revealing a red dot on his fair skin, from which a little white smoke rose.

【-twenty four】

You have taken elemental damage; your defense has decreased by 10.

Even a ray attack from a second-tier plant-like ferocious beast couldn't penetrate Jiang Yuan's defenses, demonstrating just how high his current defensive capabilities are.

After cultivating the Immortal Body Forging Technique to the eleventh form, the resulting physical hardness surpasses that of D-grade alloy, a level of abnormality beyond imagination.

They didn't care about the harm they suffered.

Jiang Yuan looked somewhat dazed and lost in thought.

"Um?"

"The Martial God's clone was destroyed?"

[Ding! Your Martial God Avatar has fed back experience before disappearing. Your understanding of the Breathing Technique of the Flame has deepened, your understanding of the Immortal Body Forging Technique has deepened, your understanding of the Great Sun Starry Sky Visualization Technique has deepened, and your understanding of the Sky-Splitting Spear Technique has deepened...]

"Was it done by a ferocious beast, or by one of the examinees?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously.

Although the Martial God's clone only possesses his attributes and 10% of his health, it is by no means weak. When using martial arts techniques, even a third-tier ferocious beast is no match for it.

"Besides Lin Qingyan, are there any other candidates like this?"

Jiang Yuan became somewhat interested.

So far, not a single person has been seen in the areas he has visited.

The second-tier ferocious beasts, feared and dreaded by countless examinees, have been slaughtered until their hands are sore.

I'm getting a little bored from collecting materials.

It would be interesting if a fairly strong opponent appeared to block my progress...

"If you have the strength, let's meet at the final place."

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, then took out the Dark Gold Bone Spear and unleashed a powerful strike from afar, severing the giant vine.

"Whoosh—"

In an instant, the once peaceful area erupted into chaos.

The ground churned, and countless vines sprouted, reaching out to grab Jiang Yuan. The surrounding trees began to twist and deform, transforming into legged, human-faced tree-men. The beautiful and vibrant trees turned into giant man-eating flowers, opening their terrifying mouths filled with sharp teeth as they lunged at Jiang Yuan.

The once beautiful scene was suddenly transformed into a hellish picture (plant kingdom).

Each monster is at level two. With such a huge number of them gathering together and suddenly launching an attack, they unleash a barrage of skills that would be difficult even for a level three martial artist to withstand.

"boom!"

Jiang Yuan took a step forward, and pale golden flames rose from the soles of his feet, flowing up his legs and up his entire body, lifting his bangs to reveal his indifferent and calm, fiery golden eyes.

"Whoosh—!"

The dark gold bone spear, trailing golden sparks, traced a perfect arc in the air.

"One Sword Style - Armor Crack. Silver Slash."

Several golden blades, each nearly a hundred meters long, swept across the area.

The scroll of plants and ferocious beasts, resembling a painting of hell, appears as if it has been sculpted with a burning chisel, leaving several straight, crisscrossing cracks, with golden flames spreading and proliferating along these cracks.

"Click!"

"boom!"

The plant-like beasts' bodies were split in two, writhing as they tried to regenerate, but golden flames clung to their wounds, burning and rising continuously, causing them to let out mournful screams as they howled and turned to ashes in the flames!

[Ding! You have defeated a level 14 Ogre Flower and gained 932 experience points.]

[Ding, you have killed...]

Jiang Yuan walked through the sea of ​​fire, carrying a dark gold bone spear. Ashes scattered around him, with the charred remains of a giant plant collapsing in the background.

move on.

He easily eliminated any monsters he encountered.

Some individual mutated monsters can be dealt with in one or two moves.

Jiang Yuan looted all the various ores, materials, and life crystals that fell from them.

……

Two hours later.

Jiang Yuan arrived at the heart of the seventh level. As soon as he stepped into this area, he felt a strong mental fluctuation coming from not far away.

He looked up.

"That is...?"
