Chapter 232

Li Yao pondered to himself while wearing the 【Space-Cutting Waistband】 and the 【King's Ring】.

His attributes suddenly surged significantly!

The ring was the same as the other two 【Royal Power】 pieces of equipment, both having a control-immunity effect, and the attribute bonuses were about the same.

Li Yao didn't care and looked at the set effect.

【Supreme Royal Power of the Goblin (3/3): Spirit +220; after activation, gain the protection of the Goblin Royal Power, immune to all control skills, duration 24 seconds, cooldown 45 minutes.】

"The set attribute is this exaggerated?"

"It's just a Level 15 Platinum-tier set, and it has nearly two hundred attribute bonuses?"

Li Yao was surprised.

If an ordinary practitioner had a full set of Bronze-tier equipment, the total value of all their equipment combined might just be this number.

No wonder the gap between ordinary practitioners and major family practitioners is so large!

However,

two hundred spirit attributes were just an extra reward in Li Yao's eyes.

The real big deal was the nearly half-minute control-immunity time.

It was a perfect match for the Chess Player talent!

During this half-minute, he could output damage brainlessly.

Presumably, even the Dark Wings of the past would definitely not be able to withstand this half-minute!

"It wasn't a waste to look forward to it for so long."

Li Yao smiled with satisfaction.

Then he took out Qin Xuehou's Platinum weapon and transferred the desired equipment effect to the Successor's Long Sword.

【Swift Wind (Passive Skill): After a summoned creature kills a unit, the Summoner gains 1% movement speed, stackable up to 100 layers, duration 5 minutes, each stack refreshes the duration.】

This Platinum-tier Summoner staff was originally intended to let the Summoner gain an extra life-saving skill.

But on Li Yao, it became an offensive means.

Once fully stacked, it's double movement speed.

By then, Li Yao's opponents would have to face:

A humanoid weapon with damage immunity, super-high movement speed, explosive damage, and built-in control immunity!

After organizing his gains, Li Yao lay down on the bed.

Since his class advancement, he had roughly figured out the practitioner path he would take in the future.

The existence of the 【Shackles】 skill meant that Summoners weren't limited to fighting with summoned objects.

Cultivating chess pieces to feed back into himself, plus the unique Chess Player talent,

he could completely open up a promotion path that was unprecedented and would never be followed.

Li Yao gradually fell asleep while thinking.

The night passed without incident.

As soon as the sky brightened, Li Yao took a special Star Network vehicle to the largest middle school in Sangyu City, Shuyuan Martial Arts Middle School.

Fifteen days had passed since the class advancement ceremony.

Within the main city of Sangyu,

all main-combat practitioners had arrived here, preparing for the Wu Kao.

For a time, Shuyuan Martial Arts Middle School appeared extremely lively.

This Wu Kao was even more important than the college entrance exam of Li Yao's previous life!

Besides deciding whether a practitioner could go to a higher martial arts academy for further studies, there was another important reason.

Only by entering a higher martial arts academy could one get the entry qualifications for those rare dungeons.

Similar to the Goblin Nest, any practitioner could brush it if they wanted; it was more like a welfare benefit released by the Federation to various cities to provide training for new practitioners.

Real rare dungeons, large-scale multiplayer dungeons, and high-tier dungeons were all strategic resources controlled by the Federation and major forces.

After all, dungeons aren't perpetual motion machines; there will eventually be a day when their energy is exhausted.

So such resources naturally had to be given to people with more potential, that is, practitioners qualified to be admitted to higher academies.

Li Yao followed the signposts and found the Jiangzhou area.

Then, following the guidance, he arrived at the gathering point for Yucai High School students.

Many classmates were excitedly discussing.

"You're actually level 14 already? I thought I was the only one working this hard; you must have spent a lot of time leveling up in the wild these days, right?"

"You bet, I teamed up with my cousin and her husband, letting them take me to the border wilderness to level up. I didn't expect my level not to be the highest in our class!"

"Shall we form a team later?"

"No problem! I'm a Mage, you're a Swordsman; we have both physical and magical output. The efficiency of brushing monsters shouldn't be low!"

"Take me too, I'm a Priest; one healing spell can heal nearly eight hundred health points! I was just worrying about not having a team!"

"No problem, then we're just missing a main tank class."

""

Everyone was very excited.

However, Li Yao also discovered that Yucai Middle School had more than a hundred main-combat practitioners when they advanced, but today, not even half of them had arrived.

The others had obviously given up their Wu Kao qualifications.

Some went to the wilderness to brush monsters and become material hunters, some went to work as guards and bodyguards for major families, and some went to work in local Federation units.

Those who came to participate in the Wu Kao all had a certain degree of self-confidence.

Their family backgrounds were also relatively well-off and could withstand the consumption.

Everyone had their own choices.

Li Yao stood in the corner, and it was inevitable that someone would notice him.

Suddenly,

the whole class quieted down, and they all looked at Li Yao in disbelief.

When Li Yao cleared the Nightmare-tier difficulty, this group of people was still in the novice dungeon, hadn't brushed the Goblin dungeon, and couldn't receive the system notification of Li Yao's first clear of Nightmare-tier difficulty.

But when Li Yao first cleared the Purgatory-tier, these people had really received that notification!

At first, they were still doubting how a Summoner could possibly first clear a Purgatory dungeon!

It was highly likely to be a name coincidence.

But later, when the Chess Player class was announced,

these students had to believe it!

They had watched the vision when Li Yao advanced and witnessed Li Yao advancing to the A-tier class, Chess Player!

They had even mocked Li Yao because he was a Summoner!

The result was a direct major reversal!

If the gap wasn't large, they could still use the excuse that Summoners are weak in the later stages.

But the fact was that Li Yao first cleared the Purgatory-tier,

while they were racking their brains to clear the Normal and Hard difficulties,

and didn't even dare to hope for the Master-tier difficulty.

This kind of gap was enough to make people feel intimidated.

The happier they were when mocking him, the more inferior they felt now when facing Li Yao!

If they had experienced the beatings of society, they might be begging to hug Li Yao's thigh now.

But they were just students who had just graduated from high school; they knew they should hug his thigh now, but in front of their classmates, they couldn't let go of their pride.

Both awkward and respectful.

Complex gazes were intentionally or unintentionally watching Li Yao.

With hope in their hearts,

praying that Li Yao had even a sliver of possibility

to care about classmate relations and talk to them.

Even if it was just a polite remark.

However,

their hope was destined to be impossible.
