Chapter 429: Skill Refinement Complete, Attributes Too Perverse
After becoming familiar with the six Auras brought by the Elemental Lich, Jiang Chen locked his target onto a monster in the distance, flashing a malicious grin.
Now it's your turn!
It was a pack of wolves; on Plateau One, plateau wolves and plateau antelopes are the two most common monsters.
Both species live in groups, each pack ranging from four or five up to a dozen or so.
The pack Jiang Chen targeted consisted of exactly eight wolves.
His awareness instantly locked onto the eight wolves, and he raised his hand.
Skill: Bone Prison.
The eight wolves, without any reaction, were bound by the Bone Prison.
Their bodies went rigid, covered with a layer of tiny bones.
The bones acted like chains, tightly imprisoning them, and were studded with small spikes that pierced their skin.
The paralysis effect took hold instantly, rendering the wolves immobile.
Because of the bones, the restrained wolves' defense rose sharply, reducing incoming damage by a full 50%.
Level 1 Bone Prison normally lasts only 1 second, but thanks to Perfect Amplification, a Divine-level Talent, the binding time was multiplied by 60, extending to 60 seconds.
At the same time, duration is also affected by monster level, number, and attributes.
The actual length varies per monster and cannot be precisely determined.
However, Jiang Chen thought that a mere Level 1 skill on these monsters above Level 945 would be greatly weakened.
As expected, after only three seconds the bones on the wolves vanished simultaneously.
The wolves broke free, howling as they lunged forward.
No
Before they could charge two meters, another batch of Bone Prison descended upon them.
After three seconds, the Bone Prison disappeared again.
But Jiang Chen gave them no chance to charge; the Bone Prison fell again.
Through repeated trials, Jiang Chen already understood the Bone Prison's effect.
The more monsters bound simultaneously, the shorter the binding time.
The higher the monster's level and stronger its attributes, the more the binding time shortens.
With his current Level 1 skill, after talent amplification it grants a 60‑second binding duration.
When binding a single wolf, it lasts about 20 seconds.
If he binds eight wolves at once, the time drops to under three seconds.
Another point is that the Bone Prison skill consumes an enormous amount of Spiritual Power.
Each additional bound monster multiplies the Spiritual Power cost.
A Level 1 skill binding one wolf requires roughly 100 points of Spiritual Power.
Binding eight wolves simultaneously would consume 800 Spiritual Power.
If the skill level rises, the cost increases further.
Such a huge cost, if taken by another Magic Class Profession,
at Level 50 would top out at only 40,000 Spiritual Power.
Binding multiple targets repeatedly would soon deplete Spiritual Power.
Moreover, using it on many targets at once shortens the binding time dramatically, making it far less practical.
For Jiang Chen, however,
Jiang Chen has fully grasped the skill's key.
The biggest hurdle in refining Bone Prison is its excessive Spiritual Power consumption.
But he doesn't care about Spiritual Power at all, so the main difficulty vanishes.
Now already
He has reached Level 50, commanding 30 Undead Legions, each with 900 Skeletons.
The full 27,000 Skeletons collectively share its Spiritual Power cost.
If he could exhaust that much Spiritual Power, it would be insane.
Jiang Chen began to unleash the Skill recklessly.
The few wolves he was using for experiments in front of him suffered a complete tragedy.
The Bone Prison on them kept refreshing, and they remained perpetually paralyzed.
Their bodies were rigid and immobile; only their eyeballs could turn, and they could not even make a sound.
Later, Jiang Chen even began to fire from both sides.
He could cast the Skill four or five times each second.
The Skill level surged like Lightning, far faster than when refining the Summon Elemental Lich.
Jiang Chen once again displayed his ruthless nature; in less than two days he refined Bone Prison to Level 50.
"Bone Prison (Level 50): Binds a single target or multiple enemies, causing paralysis. Bound enemies cannot act or counterattack, and damage taken is reduced by 50%, with a binding duration of 50 seconds (duration varies with enemy level, attributes, and number of bindings)."
The Level 50 Bone Prison has a 50‑second binding time, with a staggering Spiritual Power cost of 5,000 points.
This is only the cost for binding a single monster.
If someone like Jiang Chen simultaneously bound eight, a Level 50 Magic Class practitioner would have their entire Spiritual Power drained by a single use.
Only Jiang Chen could afford it.
After Level 50, he acquired three new Skills, the only one missing being Lightning Nether Spirit Wings.
Can be used once every nine minutes; even if Jiang Chen never misses, it would take days to level up.
Level 1, the upgrade speed is very slow.
However, Jiang Chen does not mind this.
Because the Perfect Amplification talent exists, the Level‑2 Lightning Undead Wing already flies for 20 minutes, with a cooldown of only 9 minutes, allowing him to conduct aerial battles with the Undead Legion for a long time.
After the skill cultivation is complete, Jiang Chen finally relaxes fully.
He checks his Level 50 attributes and smiles.
His current attributes are so high they're frightening; if other professionals found out, they would only say: "Pervert."

"Compared to same‑level World BOSSes, it is much higher."
"According to Jiang Chen, a Level 50 Mid Mythic-level Profession's total attributes are only between 120,000 and 130,000."
"Even with rare encounters, total attributes rarely exceed 150,000."
"He himself has reached 430,000, almost three times others."
"With these attributes, Strength surpasses Warrior, Agility surpasses Assassin, and Constitution exceeds Knight."
"As for Spirit, need not say, it is several times that of other Magic Class professions."
"Add to that a large amount of Damage Immunity traits, Elemental and Physical dual‑resistance passive skills."
"Also Status Immunity, Damage Transfer, and numerous active attack skills, forming a massive, formidable Undead Legion."
"Corpse Explosion has also reached Level 7."
"Attack, Control, Curse—every kind of skill is present."
"At this moment, Jiang Chen even feels that he is a bit perverse."
"He estimates that in Human Race history, no one has reached his level."
"Otherwise he could not have, before reaching Level 50, slain a Level 90 Flame Demon King and risen to a two‑star Divine General."
"He checked the Skeletons' attribute changes again."
"Jiang Chen clapped his hands, 'Time to go to the Ancient Battlefield.'"
Jiang Chen clapped his hands, "It's time to go to the Ancient Battlefield."
