Chapter 11

*Swish!!!*

A flash of sword light!

Su Liang’s greatsword, accompanied by the sound of tearing air, landed fiercely on the Thunder Dharma King.

It caused him to lose one-tenth of his health.

“Roar!!”

Only when the intense pain surged through his body did the Thunder Dharma King realize what had happened, and he couldn't help but let out a painful roar.

In his shock, the Thunder Dharma King tried to create some distance.

Alas!

Su Liang did not give him any chance.

With his agility maxed out, Su Liang stuck to him like a shadow.

He quickly closed in on the BOSS and thrust his sword straight out, piercing into the BOSS's chest!

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for triggering the "Sleight of Hand" passive "Filch," stealing: "Skill: Thunder Purgatory"!]

This strike left both of them stunned for a moment.

Immediately after!

They displayed completely opposite reactions!

Su Liang’s face was filled with wild ecstasy!

Holy crap, my luck is exploding!

To steal an area-of-effect skill in just two strikes, and it seems to be the Thunder Dharma King’s strongest skill at that!

The Thunder Dharma King, on the other hand, was terrified!

He felt...

His ultimate move was gone!!!

(Event duration: October 1st to October 7th) ===== CHAPTER 35 =====

“Roar! Despicable human, what have you done to me?”

The Thunder Dharma King was burning with rage, roaring madly, “Go to hell!”

He began to chant a skill right where he stood!

Su Liang couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the impotently furious BOSS.

He looked at the skill on his own.

"Thunder Purgatory": An area-of-effect skill. After a 3-second chant, it summons thousands of thunderbolts to form a thunder prison, dealing 150% magic damage to enemies within a 999-yard radius, lasting for 10 seconds. Consumes 10,000 MP. Cooldown: 600 seconds.

Su Liang was overjoyed!

No wonder the BOSS was so furious!

A range of up to 999 yards!

He must have stolen the ultimate move that the BOSS would only release when its remaining health dropped to 20%!!!

The range is large enough!

It’s just that the mana consumption is a bit high; ordinary mages wouldn't be able to handle it!

Coupled with a cooldown as long as 10 minutes.

It is destined to be used only as an ultimate move.

Hmm.

When the time comes, I can lure the monsters together and wipe them out in one go!!!

“Screech!”

“Screech!”

“Screech!”

Bursts of shrill bird-like cries suddenly reached his ears.

A thousand birds chirping in unison!

Su Liang knew that the Thunder Dharma King had finished chanting, and the skill was descending!

The mage's skill range was too large, making it extremely difficult to dodge, and he currently had no control skills to interrupt it.

So!

Su Liang chose to tank it!

Let it hurt if it has to!

Closing his skill menu, he saw dense swarms of lightning birds made of electricity rushing toward him.

In an instant, the pain of the electric current spread throughout his entire body.

Fortunately, after digitization, there was only 5% pain sensation.

Su Liang leaped, and while in his Unrivaled state, he charged toward the lightning birds, ignoring the paralysis effect.

He swung his greatsword.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Violent attacks landed continuously on the Thunder Dharma King’s thin body!

Next.

Su Liang would need to grind to level 20 for his first class advancement in the "Thunder Valley," so he would be coming back several more times.

Therefore!

Su Liang did not hold back like he did with the Goblin King, waiting for the BOSS to recover health.

Instead, he used basic attacks to violently kill it!

During this time!

The Thunder Dharma King even thoughtfully cast a lightning shield on himself, letting Su Liang land a few more hits.

He stole the Gold-tier mage robe off his body.

*Swish!!!*

Finally, one sword strike across the neck!

The Thunder Dharma King fell!

[Ding! You killed the Thunder Dharma King (Gold BOSS), gaining 400,000 experience points!]

[Ding! Your level has increased to 13, all attributes +10, free attribute points +30.]

He picked up the items dropped by the BOSS.

“Yo, it even dropped a skill book.”

Su Liang’s lips curled slightly as he pulled a skill book and a gold staff from the Thunder Dharma King.

[Skill Book: Spear of Thunder]

[Withered Wood Staff · Gold-tier]

A decent single-target control skill.

Unfortunately, it wasn't stolen from the BOSS by Sleight of Hand, and Su Liang couldn't use or learn mage skills himself.

He could only sell it along with the Withered Wood Staff.

[Thunder Valley dungeon settlement in progress...]

[Dungeon Rating: SSS-tier!]

[Ding! Congratulations on receiving the reward: 30,000 gold coins!]

[Ding! Congratulations on receiving the reward: Free attributes +50!]

[Ding! Congratulations on being the first to achieve an SSS-tier rating in the "Thunder Valley" dungeon, receiving an additional reward: "Heart of Thunder" x1!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the professional for breaking the fastest clear record for the Thunder Valley dungeon!]

A series of notifications appeared.

Without any surprise!

Su Liang had secured another SSS-tier rating.

Adding all the free attribute points gained from leveling up to agility, Su Liang looked at the additional reward.

[Heart of Thunder] (Treasure)

[Level]: 1 ===== CHAPTER 36 =====

[Attributes]: Spirit +20%

[Effect]: Thunder resistance +20%, Thunder skill damage +100%.

[Description]: A crystal condensed from intense thunder elements!

Su Liang was instantly excited.

It wasn't equipment, but a treasure!

You have to know.

A professional has a limited number of equipment slots, totaling seven: weapon, hat, clothes, shoulder guards, gloves, pants, and shoes.

Additionally.

There are three accessory slots: necklace, ring, and ring.

The advantage of a treasure is that it doesn't require an equipment slot!

It takes effect just by being carried on one's person!

It’s equivalent to having an extra piece of equipment!

Possessing the mage-class clearing skill Thunder Purgatory, Su Liang did not intend to sell this mage treasure!

He happily put it into his backpack!

Then!

He exited the dungeon!

At the entrance of the Thunder Valley dungeon...

A white light flashed, and Su Liang was teleported out.

“Sigh, Boss, my junior student has come out!”

“Hiss... he actually stayed inside for so long; it looks like his skills are very impressive.”

“I remember his simulated combat scores were always first in the grade; I wonder if he managed to grind down a single monster.”

“Probably just here to train his technique, but unfortunately... no matter how good the technique is, it’s useless, after all, he just awakened.”

The ones discussing were the trio led by the burly man Su Liang had met before entering the dungeon.

Now!

They had just finished finding their teammates and were preparing to enter the dungeon...
