Chapter 6

Ignoring the goblin corpses on the ground, he ran straight toward the depths of the dungeon.

Before long.

Luo Chenyu, with a shield on, was followed by dozens of [Weak Goblins] frantically chasing him.

"Almost there!"

Looking at the goblins baring their fangs and brandishing their claws behind him, he blasted [Steel Shield] without hesitation.

In an instant.

-357!

-344!

-398!

Goblins fell in patches.

"Ding, killed level 1 common monster [Weak Goblin], gained 5 experience points!"

"Ding, killed level 3 common monster [Strong Goblin], gained 17 experience points!"

"Ding, killed level 4 common monster [Goblin Patroller], gained 28 experience points!"

The notifications of killing monsters flashed by before his eyes.

But it didn't annoy Luo Chenyu; instead, it made him more and more excited.

The pleasure of experience points soaring rapidly came in waves.

"Awesome!!!"

And at this moment.

The familiar voice echoed in his mind again.

[Notification: Your skill [Steel Shield] feels your high fighting spirit, and in empathy, the skill has transformed...]

………………

"There's such a good thing?"

Luo Chenyu once thought that his "golden finger" was just a skill devouring a skill, but he didn't expect it to have this function.

Feeling his high fighting spirit, empathy?

And then it transformed?

Stunned for a moment.

The familiar voice in his mind rang out again.

[Your skill [Steel Shield] transformed successfully, skill effect improved, and Fanatic State activated!]

Along with the end of the notification sound.

Luo Chenyu couldn't wait to open the skill panel to check the transformed skill.

[Steel Shield]: Mutated active skill, damage-absorbing shield, absorbs up to 12 times the constitution in damage, gains "Fanatic State" during the duration. After the shield disappears, increases defense value by 35% for 10 seconds.

Duration: 20S!

Cooldown: 10S!

Additional effect: After the shield disappears, deals heavy strike damage to surrounding targets. If strength is greater than the target, it is guaranteed to cause a knockdown effect.

Fanatic State: All damage increased by 50%!

Good guy!

The damage absorption has increased, and the increased defense value has also increased.

The most important thing is the simple and crude Fanatic State.

A 50% increase in damage can make his normal attacks have considerable damage.

Sure enough...

A mature skill can learn to become stronger on its own!

"Not bad, not bad, keep up the good work in the future!"

[Notification: Your skill [Steel Shield] received your praise and is in a very happy mood!]

Luo Chenyu: "..."

Happy mood, why don't you continue to transform a bit more?

The Goblin Cave has a very complex terrain. Even with the simple map provided by the school in his mind, Luo Chenyu almost lost his way.

Fortunately, the goblins behind him had already been cleared.

No need to go back the way he came.

Just rush toward where there are monsters.

Boom!!

Another shield explosion, and Luo Chenyu's body flickered with a dazzling soft white light.

"Ding, level increased by 1, current level LV.2!"

Leveled up!

[Luo Chenyu]

[Job: Defense Warrior (0-turn)]

[Level: LV.2 (0.12%)]

[HP: 130]

[Mana: 55]

[Strength: 12]

[Constitution: 13]

[Agility: 7]

[Spirit: 11]

[Skill: Steel Shield]

[Equipment: Novice Sword (Physical attack damage +2)]

[Strength: Tier 1]

As expected, a total of 7 points of attribute improvement.

This is the gap between common jobs and hidden jobs. Even the worst F-rank hidden job has an attribute improvement of more than 10 points when 0-turn.

The higher the level and the more job transfers, the greater the attribute gap.

This is also one of the reasons why hidden job holders are popular.

In fact, the upgrade attributes of rare jobs are also very good. Just like the Berserker of the Luo family, upgrading one level in the novice stage has a full 15 points of attribute improvement, which is even close to a B-rank hidden job.

It's hard to imagine how much Ye Xingtong will improve when she upgrades one level.

To be honest.

Thinking of Ye Xingtong's S-rank hidden job, he is really envious.

Of course, according to the school's statement.

There are no trashy jobs, only trashy job holders.

"Next, clear the monsters here and find the final BOSS to try!"

Luo Chenyu licked his dry lips and continued to move forward.

Boom!

Boom!

After [Steel Shield] self-transformed, the explosive skill effect also changed, and the damage was much higher.

Fanatic State also has a bonus to explosion damage!

As Luo Chenyu continued to move forward, the goblins in the novice dungeon became fewer and fewer.

Moreover, the route he chose was the full-kill mode.

Even when he saw the figure of the final BOSS, he turned around and left without hesitation.

Staging a scene of "seeing the BOSS three times without pushing."

Half an hour later.

"Ding, level increased by 1, current level LV.3!"

Leveling up twice in half an hour, and still in the novice dungeon, if he said it out, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

Others don't have his terrifying explosive power.

Mage, known as the Magic Lord.

Is the most explosive output existence among all common jobs.

Even Ye Xingtong, an S-rank hidden job, probably doesn't have this efficiency.

Because... they all have a limitation, insufficient mana.

An "empty mana" Mage basically has no combat power in the early stage.

But Luo Chenyu is different.

[Steel Shield], as one of the initial skills for Defense Warriors, only needs a mere 3 points of mana to release. His high initial spirit, just the automatically recovered mana, is enough for him to use.

Unusual things will inevitably receive unusual attention.

"Hiding one's strength?"

A thought flashed through Luo Chenyu's mind.

In just an instant, this thought was thrown behind his head by him.

He is just a small person, even if he shows some extraordinary abilities, how many people can pay attention to him?

Even if they pay attention, what can they do?

Skills are not equipment or treasures... others can't snatch them away.

Moreover, the Profound Dragon Kingdom rules by law. As long as they dare to use skills to attack others in the city, regardless of whether they kill or not, what awaits them is the ruthless crackdown of the law enforcement team.

Thinking of this, Luo Chenyu stepped forward again and walked toward the depths of the dungeon.

"Quick battle, quick decision!"

The rewards of the novice dungeon are definitely the lowest among all dungeons, but it is safe because initial job holders have no life danger in the novice dungeon.

As long as they receive fatal damage, they can maintain 1 point of HP and not die, and be forcibly teleported out of the dungeon.

At this moment.

Luo Chenyu didn't want to waste time anymore.

Another few minutes passed.

In the dungeon information, only the last BOSS remained.

Familiar with the road, he came to the front of the BOSS.

[Steel Shield]!

10 seconds later...

Explode!

-563!

"Not over yet!"

Luo Chenyu's mouth raised slightly, and he activated another [Steel Shield]...

-588!

Just one skill, released twice in less than a second, the BOSS with 1000 HP fell to the ground!

"Ding, killed level 4 simple BOSS [Goblin Priest], gained 500 experience points!"

"Ding, hidden BOSS conditions met, hidden BOSS is about to descend!"

Luo Chenyu was slightly stunned.

He had never heard that there was a hidden BOSS in the novice dungeon, and he didn't do anything special, so how did he trigger the hidden BOSS?

So confused!
