Chapter 125

Until Zhou Yi entered the next level.

The mentors on the ceremonial platform were still discussing Zhou Yi's instant kill just now.

Guessing why the other party's flame damage was so high.

Among them, the lecturers from the Element Academy discussed it the most deeply.

Some guessed it was because he consumed a special damage-increasing potion, some guessed it was because his Wisdom attribute was high......

They even had some arguments among themselves.

Of course, as a top university, Suhang University.

The academic atmosphere is very good, academic arguments are inevitable, and everyone won't become enemies because of this.

The lecturers of the Element Academy were discussing heatedly.

While the close-quarters combat mentors on the side were all somewhat dumbfounded.

What's going on? Isn't Zhou Yi best at close-quarters combat?

The huge battle axe behind him is also one of the reasons they appreciate Zhou Yi.

After all, there are really too few students who are still willing to use giant weapons!!

Most of them use battle sabers or longswords.

And now, the Zhou Yi they appreciate didn't even use his weapon, just released a few skills, and passed the first level of the Abyss-level dungeon!

Is this still the Zhou Yi who loved to use close-quarters combat methods in the college entrance exam dungeon, and whose style was very sharp?

"These bear monsters are too weak; Zhou Yi didn't even have time to follow up with subsequent output before they were killed instantly.

Yeah, that must be it."

A sturdy mentor said with certainty.

Holy Light Cross is indeed not a powerful output skill.

It relies on continuous output from long-term burning.

Generally, Paladins who add points to Holy Light Cross.

Even if they want to kill magic beast monsters through this skill, they rely on time to grind down the monster's health.

Of course, that's for ordinary Paladins......

Under the effect of Zhou Yi's S+ talent, Holy Angel's Protection, the flames produced by Holy Light Cross already possess not-low output.

And before he used Holy Light Cross, he also used the God-given skill 'Holy Flame Halo'!!

Holy Flame Halo has a 40% damage increase for fire-attribute damage.

Coupled with Zhou Yi's Wisdom attribute points, which climbed to a level that could be called terrifying after stacking buffs.

Thus, the moment Holy Light Cross was released.

It finally formed the scene everyone saw, where the flame damage killed all the bear monsters instantly......

God-given skills are extremely rare; it can be said that very few people know about them.

Coupled with the fact that Zhou Yi's current four-dimensional attributes have reached an average value of 165 points, which is something many mentors didn't expect.

So, it's normal for the dean and lecturers to not guess the reason why Zhou Yi's flame damage was high.

As for why he didn't use close-quarters combat methods to kill these bear monsters.

The reason is also very simple, and that is because he wants to grab time!

In the Freshman Grand Competition, he is definitely not the only one who chose the Abyss difficulty.

He wants to clear the level at the fastest speed and then get first place!

If he used a battle axe, even if it was one bear monster per axe, it would take nearly 20 seconds to kill all the bear monsters.

And with Holy Light Cross, all the bear monsters are killed instantly; isn't that much faster?

Even if he couldn't kill them in 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, that should be enough.

Anyway, it's much faster than close-quarters combat.

Of course......

Entering the dungeon and immediately adding all buff skills to enter a peak state also has drawbacks.

That is, it's very likely that before reaching the BOSS level, skills like God's Gift and Guardian Gift will have already expired.

But for Zhou Yi, this doesn't matter much.

After all.

This is not a high-intensity battle against the Flame Demon Legion; there's no need to strictly control magic and mana.

Once the duration of the buff skill expires, just add another one.

Anyway, his shortest duration, the 5-minute-long Holy Flame Halo buff, only has a cooldown of about one minute.

By the time the skill expires, the cooldown will have long since finished......

The first level was passed smoothly.

Unlike the college entrance exam dungeon, there was no teleportation light gate to the next level on the spot.

So Zhou Yi had to walk along the path trampled by the bear monsters and keep moving forward.

It is worth mentioning.

The originally gloomy forest, under the illumination of the holy light aura lingering around Zhou Yi, had its eerie aura swept away, and instead, it was full of light......

Some people might wonder, wouldn't a Paladin surrounded by such holy light aura become the most conspicuous existence on the battlefield?

Actually, there's no need to worry about this at all.

Not to mention that Paladins are one of the most sought-after professions on the battlefield and will be protected by numerous professionals.

Just talking about this holy light aura, it's not something possessed by the Paladin alone.

Once all buff skills are deployed, the entire legion will benefit, and everyone will be covered in the aura of holy light!

And besides Paladins, humanity has many other support professions that will also apply numerous buff skills.

With all these buff skills stacked together, it's impossible to distinguish who released which skill......

As time passed, Zhou Yi walked through the forest.

Not long after walking, a rumbling sound suddenly came from afar.

Rumble!!

As if there were thousands of troops and horses, the entire forest floor trembled because of it.

"Entering the second level......"

He saw that on the wide forest clearing ahead, a team composed entirely of bear monsters came into Zhou Yi's view.

Counting roughly, there were at least a hundred of them!!

"Sixteen? A hundred? The difficulty has directly increased sixfold!"

Under the Appraisal skill, the information of these bear monsters also appeared in Zhou Yi's mind:

【Monster: Bear Monster Warrior】

【Level: 17】

【Qualification: Silver☆☆】

【Skills: Fur Armor, Charge, Berserk】

【Monster: Bear Monster Tracker】

【Level: 17】

【Qualification: Silver☆☆☆】

【Skills: Slow, Tracking】

【Monster: Bear Monster Ursa Warrior】

【Level: 18】

【Qualification: Silver☆☆】

【Skills: Toughness Aura, War Stomp】

"As expected of an Abyss-level dungeon, Silver-tier monsters appear in droves......

And there are a few bear monsters that possess aura skills......"

Looking at the information displayed by the Appraisal skill, Zhou Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

An aura is actually a permanent buff skill.

It doesn't require consuming any magic power to allow oneself and surrounding teammates to enjoy the enhancement.

On the battlefield, almost every legion will carry various kinds of auras......

And Toughness Aura is considered a relatively common type of aura among magic beast monsters.

It can allow the physical resistance and magic resistance of nearby friendly forces to be improved to a certain extent.

"Under the Toughness Aura, it should be impossible to kill these bear monsters instantly all at once."

"Since that's the case, then let's go!"

Zhou Yi's gaze focused, and he quickly charged forward.

"Awoo!!"

Seeming not to expect that this human in front of them would dare to launch an attack first, the bear monsters not far ahead roared one after another and charged toward Zhou Yi simultaneously!!

The effective range of Holy Light Cross is about 200 meters; with both sides charging at each other like this.

The distance between the two quickly shrank to within 200 meters!!!

Boom!!!

Bright golden-yellow light-attribute flames ignited on each bear monster!!
