Chapter 321

there was still a hard battle waiting for him.

Following Hua Hua Qianshuang, Li Yao left,

but the war was still continuing.

The growth rate of the monsters

far exceeded

the speed at which professionals hunted them!

The flames of war flew, and thick smoke obscured the sun.

The dense forest at the foot of the mountain had long been crushed by the war,

leaving only black smoke and corpses.

The professionals numbly released skills;

the endless slaughter made them only able to vent the irritability in their hearts through loud chatter.

"Eh? Li Yao seems to have left."

Someone noticed that on the mountain peak,

only General Xue's figure remained.

"Gosh! That person finally left! I don't know why, but when he was watching from above, I felt so much pressure! Even more than General Xue!"

"Are you talking about Principal Hua?"

"Li Yao! I didn't feel anything about Principal Hua!"

"How is that possible? Are you saying Li Yao is stronger than Principal Hua?"

"No! Aiya!"

That person chopped a goat-like monster into two with one blade,

and while scratching his head, said: "I don't know how to describe it!"

"Anyway, the pressure was just huge!"

Qi Qi Xiuyuan was the opposite of them.

For some reason,

when Li Yao stood on the mountain peak

and his gaze fell on this side,

although he wasn't sure if the other party was looking at him,

Qi Qi Xiuyuan still felt inexplicably secretly pleased,

just like during an exam,

when you get a very difficult question right,

and the head teacher happens to be watching from the side!

Now that Li Yao had left,

he felt a sense of emptiness instead.

"Brothers, stop chatting for a moment. Have you noticed that the monsters are still increasing?"

"It seems so! No matter how much we kill, they never end!"

"Our boss told us to push the front line to the mountain peak; it's easy to defend and hard to attack there, and we won't be afraid no matter how many monsters there are!"

"And reinforcements are arriving soon; just hold on a little longer, and we can rest!"

Hearing the word 'rest',

everyone immediately felt like they had been injected with chicken blood.

On the mountain peak,

the field of vision was wide, and they could attack very far away.

Moreover, attacking from a high position,

they had a high probability of hitting the monsters' heads and dealing weak-point damage.

Just like that,

the professionals launched an attack toward the mountain peak.

And Li Yao

arrived at a distant place where there were no monsters.

Except for Kha'Zix and Tiger Armor,

the rest of the chess pieces were put into the chess piece space to rest and prepare for battle.

Tiger Armor hid underground;

while resting, it could also help Li Yao trigger the 【Chess Player】 talent.

Kha'Zix still had to continue working;

eight hours of slaughter, leaving four hours for rest.

This was the order Li Yao had given.

As Li Yao's first chess piece,

Kha'Zix had the calmest personality;

if he told it to kill for only eight hours, it wouldn't exceed that by even a minute!

Li Yao casually found a slightly clean place,

lay down on the spot,

and closed his eyes to rest.

He wondered, when he Mayor Woke up,

how many monsters Kha'Zix would have hunted,

and how much strength attribute it would have collected? **CHAPTER 728**

*That's already twenty thousand?

【Strength: 】

Li Yao Mayor Woke up,

and the first thing he did was check his strength attribute.

This was an increase of nearly four thousand!

Even if it took ten seconds to kill one monster,

it would take eleven hours!

Li Yao seriously suspected that Kha'Zix hadn't rested at all!

Feeling Kha'Zix hiding right beside him,

Li Yao dismissed this thought.

He checked his communication device;

there was still a while before the time agreed upon with his teacher.

Li Yao took out the loot chest dropped by Moro.

True-Name level,

and an extremely powerful True-Name level at that.

He wondered if it could drop another legendary piece of equipment.

The chest opened,

and orange light shone out.

It was Purple-Gold level equipment:

fluffy brown shoulder guards,

and a yellowed ancient book.

【Ape King Shoulder Guards (Jewelry)】

【Quality: Purple-Gold】

【Equipment Requirement: Strength attribute 3000; Stamina attribute 1500; Level 45 (Originally 50)】

【Equipment Attribute 1: Strength +1250; Agility +800; Stamina +800】 **CHAPTER 729**

【Equipment Attribute 2: Solid as a Rock (Passive): Melee damage received reduced by 15%, ranged damage reduced by 10%】

【Equipment Attribute 3: Ape King Transformation (Active): After activation, body size doubles, all attributes +50%; Duration 30 seconds; Cooldown 12 hours (Can be triggered by the wearer's summoned creatures)】

【Durability: 500/500】

After reading the attributes, Li Yao couldn't help but click his tongue.

Wasn't this typical 'skill-flow' equipment?

The equipment attributes weren't many,

but it came with an extremely powerful active skill.

Because of the existence of the skill, other attributes on such equipment were relatively weak,

but that didn't stop countless professionals from being keen on such equipment.

Sacrificing a little bit of attributes in exchange for a precious skill—

no matter how you looked at it, it was very cost-effective!

The skill carried by the Ape King Shoulder Guards had a cooldown of 12 hours.

Only ultimate skills had such long cooldowns,

and Ape King Transformation was worthy of such a long cooldown!

30 seconds, all attributes increased by 50%.

If used properly,

it was enough to change the course of the battle!

Especially

when used together with 【Devotion】!

And what surprised Li Yao most about this equipment was that

even with such a powerful skill,

the attribute bonuses were still quite high!

Level 50 equipment adding nearly three thousand attribute points

completely violated the rules of 'skill-flow' equipment!

One must know that for an ordinary level 50 professional,

the sum of their four-dimensional attributes was only about five or six thousand.

Although it was Purple-Gold level equipment,

wasn't this bonus a bit too terrifying?

Li Yao pondered slightly;

there were two possibilities.

Moro was an extremely powerful standout among True-Name level monsters,

so the dropped items were naturally extraordinary.

There was another possibility:

the requirements to wear this equipment were too high.

Even though it was level 50 equipment,

the strength attribute had to reach three thousand to wear it.

This point alone filtered out 95% of professionals!

It was understandable that the attribute bonus was a bit higher.

The only pity

was the second equipment attribute,

【Solid as a Rock】.

The effect was powerful, but it didn't state that summoned creatures could trigger it.

Li Yao himself wasn't afraid of attacks,

so it wasn't suitable for him; it was like a chicken rib!

But nothing was perfect.

Li Yao didn't dwell on it anymore and put it into his storage ring.

Next was the skill book.

"It's already this old; at worst, it's an SS-rank, right?" Li Yao muttered.

As everyone knew,

the older and more ancient a skill book was, the higher its rating!

【Ape King Straight Punch (SSS Active Skill): Sacrifice 20% of current health to deal a devastating blow to a fan-shaped area in front, causing 800% physical damage; Cooldown 5 minutes】

SSS skill?

And it required sacrificing 20% of current health,

only for eight times damage?

If the cooldown was short, that would be one thing, but it was a full five minutes.

"No!"

Li Yao suddenly realized:

An SSS-rank skill couldn't be this weak!

When fighting Moro,

the opponent had used a straight punch!

The range was so large that it was basically unavoidable!

It had directly forced out Li Yao's 【Sword Saint Assault】.

"This skill is strong because of its range!"

Li Yao's eyes lit up.

From his storage ring, he took out a semi-transparent stone—

a Psychic Stone!

Gainerat had used one to learn 【Skin Surface Vitality】,

and Li Yao still had one left in his hand.

Wasn't this kind of large-range physical skill exactly what Kha'Zix needed!?

A hundred-meter range!

With one punch, it would probably kill hundreds of monsters!

Li Yao was able to have his current strength

largely because of 【Combat Training】!

If the efficiency of collecting attributes increased,

Li Yao's strength would skyrocket!!

"Learn it!"

Li Yao walked to a spot

and slapped the head of the still-sleeping Kha'Zix.

Kha'Zix Mayor Woke up in a daze.

Li Yao tossed the skill book and the Psychic Stone to it.

【Ape King Straight Punch】 → 【Void Punch】

The name changed,

but the skill effect didn't change by a single word.

Li Yao ordered Kha'Zix to throw a punch.

One of Kha'Zix's arms swung forward rapidly like a rocket.

"Boom!"

The destructive energy left a trench about a hundred meters long on the ground in front!

Li Yao's eyes lit up.

This range was even larger than expected!

Right. **CHAPTER 730**
