Chapter 47: Killer Set! Third Rank completed!

"SQUEAK!!!"

The Shadow Mantis let out a sharp scream, as if it had gone crazy.

The calm creature was suddenly panicked, its eyes filled with terror.

After all—

Its three trump cards, which it was most proud of, had all been stolen by Su Liang!

Suddenly,

it lost the confidence to continue fighting.

"Hehehe, don't fear death!"

"The most important thing is that your talent and skills will continue to exist!"

Su Liang said with a wild laugh.

The Shadow Mantis had no value left; it was time to end its life.

[Instant-Move Thrust]!

[Throat-Slitting Blade]!

In the Shadow Mantis’s terrified gaze, Su Liang and the Frost Clone thrust out two swords together.

They landed on the Shadow Mantis.

BOOM—!

This time, having lost Killing Instinct, the Shadow Mantis did not dodge quickly.

The terrifying burst directly emptied the Shadow Mantis’s remaining HP bar!

Letting it head toward death with unwillingness and terror!

The Third Rank quest was considered completed!

The quest countdown stopped.

[Ding! You have killed the Shadow Mantis · Rogers (Legendary BOSS), you have gained 666 million experience points!]

[Ding! Your level has reached the cap; excess experience has been stored in the experience pool. Please proceed to the Third Rank advancement as soon as possible!!!]

"Phew—!"

Having fought for a day and a night, the exhausted Su Liang let out a long breath.

After looting the corpse, he sat down on the spot to rest.

[Ding! You have obtained material: Shadow Mantis Claws x2!]

[Ding! You have obtained material: Shadow Mantis Elytra x1!]

[Ding! You have obtained treasure: Heart of Killing x1!]

[Ding! You have obtained equipment: Killer Hard-Shell Leg Armor x1!]

The good things the Shadow Mantis could drop had basically all been stolen by him.

Including Legendary equipment and special items.

So!

Only four items were dropped.

[Heart of Killing] (Treasure)

[Quality]: ???

[Effect]: Killing will make you grow; in battle, for every target killed, you gain one layer of Killing stacks, Attack +1%, Attack Speed +1%, Movement Speed +1%, up to 999 stacks! Lasts 10 seconds, killing refreshes the duration!

Su Liang was overjoyed.

He hadn't expected the Shadow Mantis to have such a good item!

Don't look at the 1% attribute increase as small; he could kill hundreds or thousands of monsters with one pseudo-forbidden spell!

The attributes would be quite significant!

The stack cap of 999 could reach a 999% bonus!

It could be called a single-target enhanced version of the Killing Aura!!!

Put it in the backpack, and it takes effect automatically!

[Killer Hard-Shell Leg Armor] (Legendary)

[Level]: 60

[Attributes]: Constitution +3333, Agility +3333, Attack Speed +50%, Movement Speed +50%

[Requirement]: Constitution 19999 or above

[Set]: Killer

[Killer Set]:

(2/4): When you collect 2 pieces of the Killer set, Critical Hit Rate +20%, Critical Hit Damage +20%.

(4/4): When you collect 4 pieces of the Killer set, Critical Hit Rate +50%, Critical Hit Damage +50%.

Sets are extremely rare things, let alone Legendary-grade sets.

And as for this Killer set.

The other three pieces,

Su Liang had already collected them during the battle!

[Killer Hard-Shell Hand Armor] (Legendary)

[Killer Hard-Shell Boots] (Legendary)

[Killer Hard-Shell Shoulder Armor] (Legendary)

Although there was no critical hit bonus from leather armor, after reaching level 60 and wearing the Killer set, Su Liang could reach a 70% critical hit rate.

Dungeon settlement!

[Assassin Novice Trial Dungeon settling...]

[Dungeon Rating: SSS-grade!]

[Ding! Congratulations, you have received reward: Free Attributes +50!]

[Ding! Congratulations, you have received reward: Gold coins x3 million!]

[Ding! Congratulations, you are the first to obtain an SSS-grade rating in the "Ancient Colosseum," receiving extra reward: [Accessory Slot] +1!]

A one-time dungeon also has an SSS-grade rating?

And the reward is an extra accessory slot, allowing one to equip an additional rare accessory!

Su Liang’s mouth curled up.

This is extra attributes!

He opened his character panel, and sure enough, there was an extra accessory slot.

He decisively put the Shadow Ring he had previously discarded back on.

Three rings, complete!

It’s just a pity his level wasn't high enough; otherwise, if he wore the Ice Dragon’s Fury Ring, his attributes would surge again.

Outside the dungeon.

"Little Zi, let’s go back."

Su Liang said; Little Zi had flown the whole way here, so he didn't need to point the way back.

"ROAR..."

The Amethyst Thunder-Flame Dragon roared softly in response and immediately flapped the sky-covering wings behind it!

Swish!!!

The Amethyst Thunder-Flame Dragon flapped its wings, whipping up endless snow and thunder!

Carrying Su Liang, it took off into the air!

Flying back in the direction of Jiangcheng.

The third day, early morning.

Su Liang finally returned to Jiangcheng.

He arrived in front of the Job Statue to submit his Third Rank quest.

[Ding! Congratulations, professional, you have completed the five-star difficulty quest "Twilight of the Gods—Duel with the Killer," Third Rank advancement successful!]

As the golden pillar of light from the Third Rank amplification fell.

The abundant experience in the experience pool poured into Su Liang’s body.

Several white lights of leveling up appeared on Su Liang.

[Ding! Congratulations, professional, you have gained a permanent 30% increase to all attributes.]

[Ding! Congratulations, professional, you have learned skill: Blood-Sucking Thrust!]

[Ding! Congratulations, professional, you have learned skill: Annihilation Thrust!]

[Ding! Congratulations, professional, you have learned skill: God-Slaying Combo!]

[Ding! Congratulations, professional, you have learned skill: Meteor Instant-Prison Kill!]

[Ding! Your level has increased to 56, all attributes +160, free attribute points +480.]

I have to say, the further you go, the slower leveling up really is.

The experience from two Legendary BOSSes only barely allowed Su Liang to reach level 56.

One of them was level 148, although he only got half the experience.

But the difficulty of leveling up is self-evident.

And with the master’s level breakthrough, the Amethyst Thunder-Flame Dragon in the pet space also soared to level 55.

Only 1 level away!

He walked out of the Job Temple.

"Hmm."

Chen Chen Yue, waiting outside, had brilliant colors in her beautiful eyes, her long legs tightly clamped together, rubbing slightly.

He completed another five-star difficulty job advancement!

"By the way, Mr. Su Liang, don't you need to participate in the college entrance exam today?"

Chen Chen Yue suddenly remembered something and asked with doubt.

"College entrance exam?!"

Su Liang, immersed in the joy of the Third Rank, had his expression change.

He forgot that he had spent a day stealing the BOSS’s talent and skills.

He thought the college entrance exam was tomorrow.

And now it was already past eight o'clock; there was less than an hour before the exam started!

The exam location is in...

Shujiang City!
