Chapter 113: Gaining the Dragon Clan War King Title, Harvesting Rich Rewards

Jiang Chen once again applied the Bone Armor skill to himself.

The Bone Armor kept flashing, blocking the Outpost Guardian's attack after attack for Jiang Chen.

All attacks could not penetrate the Bone Armor; they were like mud cows entering the sea, causing Jiang Chen no damage at all.

Jiang Chen continuously used Soul Burn together with the Skeleton Mage, repeatedly attacking the Guardian.

Jiang Chen himself felt a bit surprised to have become the meat shield of this battle.

This role switch was also something he hadn't expected.

The Bone Armor truly is a strong skill, with extremely high defensive attributes, even ignoring Control Skills.

After 30 seconds, the Skeleton Warriors regained their ability to act.

Jiang Chen, in a single move, recalled them all to the Summon Queue.

Then he released the Skeleton Warriors again, making them appear instantly beside the Guardian, without any extra motion, and began slashing.

The Outpost Guardian, in anger, used the Group Stun Skill again.

But Jiang Chen, at the moment it released the skill, recalled all the Skeleton Warriors.

A massive Blade slammed into the ground, creating a powerful shockwave, yet not a single Skeleton Warrior was affected.

The only one present was Jiang Chen himself; his Bone Armor easily blocked the shockwave.

After the shockwave dissipated, Jiang Chen immediately released the Skeleton Warriors again, letting them continue attacking the Guardian.

Jiang Chen stared intently at every move of the Outpost Guardian.

Whenever it releases a skill, Jiang Chen swiftly recalls the Skeleton Warriors, and after the skill ends, releases them again.

Using the cooldown gaps, the Skeleton Warriors can also deal considerable damage to the Guardian.

Such repetition, Jiang Chen completely mastered the battle's

rhythm.

The Outpost Guardian's injuries grew more severe, yet it was helpless against Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's Bone Armor made it unable to comprehend why a seemingly insignificant little fellow could ignore its Control Skills.

Jiang Chen firmly grasped the battle's rhythm.

He precisely timed when to release the Skeleton Warriors, when to recall them, and when to replenish the Bone Armor.

At the same time, he never forgot to keep releasing Soul Burn, drawing the enemy's fire.

Jiang Chen's handling became increasingly skillful, and combat efficiency kept rising.

This battle, for Jiang Chen, had a tremendous boosting effect.

No longer relying entirely on Skeleton Warriors, it became led by himself.

He realized he was both a Summoner and a Mage.

He cannot always fight in the Summoner's stance.

After grinding for a full fifteen minutes.

The Guardian, unwillingly, fell before Jiang Chen.

"Dragon Clan War King Title: All Attributes +500, all Skill consumption reduced 50% (this title is obtained by solo clearing the Hell-level difficulty Dragon Clan Frontline Outpost Instance)"

The body glowed with the distinctive white light of leveling up.

He solo‑ran the Hell-level Dungeon, spending nearly 10 hours total, and Jiang Chen leveled up again.

Arriving at the Otherworld Battlefield for less than a day, he rose from Level 22 to Level 23; the speed was astonishingly fast.

Jiang Chen at this moment had no time to monitor his leveling status, but instead looked at each item he had obtained.

Even with his usually calm temperament, he was somewhat surprised now.

He had seen weapons dropped from the Dragon Clan Dungeon in the Exchange of Fortress No. 1.

The Dragon Clan Dungeon weapons' names were very distinctive.

Normal Outpost Weapon, Nightmare Outpost Weapon.

Both come from the "Dragon Clan Frontline Outpost" Instance, the former from Normal Difficulty, the latter from Nightmare Difficulty.

Both are Gold Weapon, yet their attributes differ vastly.

Their prices can also differ by several times.

Normal Outpost Weapon is comparable to the weakest Gold Weapon, requiring only 300,000 Gold Coins, and has no Military Street requirement.

Nightmare Outpost Weapon is basically on par with top Gold Weapon, priced between 1,500,000 and 2,000,000 Gold Coins.

And only those of Five-Star Private rank or higher are eligible to purchase.

And you must be above Five-Star Private to be eligible to purchase.

As for the Hell Outpost weapons, their attributes have already completely exceeded gold.

The weapons have reached the level of Platinum Weapon.

It's not only the weapons; the armor attributes are the same.

Being able to use weapons and equipment at Level 30 whose attributes are comparable to Platinum-level gives a huge boost to combat power.

As for the price, Jiang Chen hasn't seen any Hell Outpost series equipment in the Exchange.

The Hell Dungeon is too hard to clear, so few people run it, and consequently the equipment is scarce.

Usually the team consumes it internally, and only a handful can be offered for trade.

The Dragon Clan Crystal Core is the item required for the Hong Jishi quest.

Now I finally understand that this drops from the B0SS instance, no wonder it only requires five pieces.

Jiang Chen has already completed part of the Hong Jishi quest requirements.

In a single Hell-level Dungeon run, he obtained 8 Dragon Clan horns, 4 Dragon Clan essence blood, 4 Dragon Clan hearts, and 2 Dragon Clan Crystal Cores.

That's over one third completed.

Just two more runs and the Hong Jishi requirement will be fulfilled.

Next comes the Class Transfer Certificate.

He didn't expect to obtain the certificate needed for the second job change; Jiang Chen never thought of that.

He only knows that the second job change is difficult, and the Class Transfer Certificate is essential.

He didn't expect to have gotten it so early.

The Class Transfer Certificate cannot be traded; it must be obtained personally.

Therefore many professions get stuck when they reach Level 40 and need to perform the second job change.

The last thing is a title.

He didn't expect that a solo run could also grant a title; it's equally surprising.

Titles are hard to obtain, but their effects are very significant.

Those who can obtain the titled ones are truly remarkable.

The key is that titles are unique.

The same title can be earned by only one person.

At least until Jiang Chen dies, no one else can obtain this title.

This also shows

clearly, he is the world's first person to solo the Hell-difficulty of the "Dragon Clan Frontline Outpost" instance.

Thinking about it, such a perverse control‑type skill—aside from someone as even more perverse as him—who else could accomplish it?

Dragon Clan War King Title: all attributes increase by 500, skill cost reduced by 50%. Its effect is huge.

Especially the 50% skill cost reduction, meaning his use of Soul Burn and Corpse Explosion becomes even more effortless.

Even when replenishing Skeleton Warriors or Skeleton Mages, efficiency will increase greatly.

He couldn't wait to activate the title, then checked his attributes.

"Name: Jiang Chen"

"Class: Necromancer Summoner Onlyone"

"Level: 23 (0.18%)"

"Title: Dragon Clan War King (All Attributes +500, Skill Cost Reduced 50%)"

"Strength: 390 (+500)"

"Agility: 390 (+500)"

"Spirit: 1900 (+2100)"

"Constitution: 390 (+500)"

"Equipment: Spirit Long Sword, Spirit Long Robe, Spirit Ring"

"Summon Queue: 210/230, Skeleton Warrior (Quantity: 140), Skeleton Mage (Quantity: 70)"

"Talent: Perfect Amplification (Level 3, Unique)"

"Passive Skills: Damage Transfer, Elemental Resistance (Level 1)"

"Active Skills: Soul Burn (Level 23), Summon Skeleton Warrior (Level 23), Corpse Explosion (Level 3), Slow Curse (Level 23), Bone Armor (Level 23), Summon Skeleton Mage (Level 23)"

"Perfect Amplification (Level 3): All skill effects increased 30‑fold"

"Damage Transfer:"

"All damage the caster receives is taken on by summoned entities"

"Elemental Resistance (Level 1): Passive skill, self and summoned entities gain 10% resistance to elemental attacks"

"Soul Burn (Level 23): Burns the target's soul, dealing burn damage; power depends on one's Spirit Power and skill level"

"Summon Skeleton Warrior (Level 23): Summons a Silver-tier Skeleton Warrior"

"Corpse Explosion (Level 3): Detonates a corpse, dealing damage equal to 20% of the corpse's HP to enemies within 3 meters"

"Slow Curse (Level 23): Curses enemies within 115 meters, reducing their speed by 115% for 1 minute"

"Bone Armor (Level 23): Summons bones to form armor, granting 2300 Constitution defense for 5 minutes; this skill can also be used on others"

"Summon Skeleton Mage (Level 23): Summons a Silver-tier Skeleton Mage"

As his level rises, all skill attributes improve.

The Necromancer Summoner's hidden trait is that skills matching his own level also upgrade as his level increases.

Thus, Jiang Chen saves a great deal of time that would have been spent training skills.

"I'll go out and rest for a while; once the skeleton recovers, we'll continue."

"Hell Difficulty!"

Hong Jishi's mission hasn't been completed yet, so we naturally have to keep grinding the instance.

Hell Difficulty is hard to beat, but the experience is high and the equipment drops are better.

And it still requires using one Cooldown Talisman; why not use it on a Hell-level Dungeon—using it on a Nightmare-level Dungeon would be a waste.

Just after leaving the instance, an abnormally strong scent of blood immediately pierced my nose.

At the same time, my ears were also accompanied by

the roar.

The Bone Armor was shimmering, its silver light shooting upward.

Jiang Chen reacted quickly, assuming a defensive stance.
