Chapter 35: Fully Buffed, Zhou Yi's True Strength

Why enter the next stage so quickly? Zhou Yi naturally had his own reasons.

That was to seize time!!

Su Hang Province, as a major province for the college entrance exam, has an abundance of geniuses.

And the top students across the entire province, as long as they break into the top hundred within the province, will basically choose the solo Nightmare difficulty mode.

Everyone faces the same difficulty; the rest depends on the dungeon clear time.

And since Zhou Yi wants to contend for the top scorer of Su Hang Province, he naturally must fight for every second and minute.

He stepped into the Taruguang Sect.

After a moment of dizziness, he came to his senses and immediately surveyed the surrounding environment.

Different from the previous two stages.

This time, it was inside a stone palace.

This palace was extremely vast, roughly estimated to be nearly two thousand square meters.

Under the golden light emitted by the Holy Light Cross behind him, eight towering massive stone pillars could be seen within the palace.

The stone pillars were carved with various complex runes and patterns of cat demons and minotaurs.

At the end of the eight stone pillars lay a magnificent staircase with hundreds of steps.

Looking up, on the platform at the top of that staircase sat a huge stone throne.

Due to the great distance, Zhou Yi could only vaguely see a giant shadow sitting on that stone throne.

Since the entire palace was hidden within the forest, the whole palace hall appeared somewhat dim.

Now that Zhou Yi had walked in, the Holy Light Cross behind him, like a small sun, radiated light recklessly outward.

Under the stimulation of the holy light, a pair of blood-red eyes emitting a bloodthirsty, cold aura slowly emerged from the shadow on the stone throne.

Merely locking eyes with them was enough to feel a bloody aura like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

"Human..."

"You actually dare to tread upon my palace! Prepare to die!!"

A low voice filled with intense killing intent echoed through the vast palace.

That tall figure also rose from the stone throne and walked out of the shadow.

Under the illumination of the dazzling light behind him, Zhou Yi was finally able to see the full form of this figure.

This was a minotaur standing fully three meters tall.

Its muscles were knotted all over its body, its skin was black, and it emitted a cold, metallic luster.

On the minotaur's head, two horns were enormous.

The right one was broken halfway, while the left one was intact, pointing straight up to the sky.

Looking closely, one could even see some dark red bloodstains on the surface of the horns.

Its fangs protruded from its mouth, flashing with a chilling, grim light.

And in its right hand, it held a war axe with a peculiar design, measuring over three meters in length!!

"Hmm?"

Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow, looking at this burly monster with interest.

Minotaurs can still speak the human language?

Before this, even that Silver-level minotaur could only use wild roars.

Quite interesting.

Under the observation of the universal skill 'Appraisal Technique', the information of this final BOSS before him appeared.

【Monster: Minotaur King】

【Level: 16】

【Quality: Gold☆】

【Skills:???】

【Note: The Minotaur King is the ruler of the minotaur race and can command all minotaurs deep within the Dark Forest.】

"So this is the final BOSS deep within the Dark Forest?"

Looking at the information displayed by the Appraisal Technique, Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows.

The Appraisal Technique is not omnipotent.

In cases where the level gap is too large, a '???' mark will appear on key information.

Therefore, not being able to see the skill information did not surprise him.

"A level 16 Gold-level BOSS, it seems I need to add a bit more strength."

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yi closed his eyes slightly, and demonic energy surged within his body.

The next moment.

He suddenly opened his eyes, the Cross seal on his forehead emerged, and countless holy lights erupted from his body.

"Dawn Blessing!"

"Courage Bestowal!"

"God's Bestowal!"

"Guardian Bestowal!"

"......"

Why is the Paladin called a support class?

It is simply because its buff skills are truly too numerous!!

On the battlefield, an army possessing a Paladin.

A legion without a Paladin and a legion with one are two completely different concepts in combat power!

The Paladin's various amplification auras and blessings of protection are enough to raise a legion's combat power by several tiers!!

Although Zhou Yi's path wasn't that of a support class, how could he not learn the amplification skills that were the essence of the Paladin?

After all, his situation was different from that of ordinary students who were short on skill points.

He could obtain a large number of skill points through the daily quest rewards.

He didn't have to worry at all about not having enough skill points to invest in skills!!

Inside the palace, under the amplification of this series of blessing and buff skills, the aura emanating from Zhou Yi grew increasingly powerful.

When his aura climbed to its absolute peak.

He was seen fixing his gaze, his right hand tightly gripping the battle axe, ready to begin the final BOSS battle!!

However, what he didn't know was.

This series of actions of his caused yet another stir outside!

"Holy crap, how does Senior Zhou still have so many amplification skills??"

"Adding them all up, there are more than ten skills — how did he manage to master so many?"

"With so many stacked BUFFs, just how terrifying will the final amplification be!!"

"Don't forget, most of the Paladin's BUFF skills are divine-class skills, and they're also boosted by the guardian effect of the S+ talent Holy Angel!"

"Hiss, so this is Senior Zhou's true strength!"

"......"

At this moment.

All the teachers and students in the audience seats were stunned by the various rays of light bursting from Zhou Yi on the screen.

Based on his performance just now, everyone had assumed Zhou Yi was a Paladin on a pure brute-force path.

But then came the final BOSS battle.

Zhou Yi instead pulled out five or six support-type amplification skills.

How could this not be shocking?

Beyond the shock, the many teachers and students were also full of sighs.

So this, was Zhou Yi's true strength!!
