Chapter 383: Imperial Dynasty?

…

Su Sheng left with a gloomy expression.

That talisman successfully upgraded Su Ba's robe into Epic-level Equipment.

Originally, that Yin Yang Robe, when it was still an item, appeared to be Red Equipment.

Based on this situation, even the lowest Yin Yang Robe can be upgraded to the Red tier.

Moreover…

It also gained an additional skill.

That skill, Su Sheng is very familiar with.

It is precisely the "Great Laser" technique of the Yin Yang Earth-walking Dragon.

Su Sheng rode his mount and set off toward the level 55 training spot…

He kept muttering to himself, that's his own dad, no need to be jealous…

He already has a Divine Artifact in his hand…

However, the exclusive equipment of the Hidden Class…

Niang Xipi's is indeed quite fragrant.

…

Lost in his thoughts, Su Sheng soon arrived at this level 55 training spot.

Here…

No guild occupies it, although Zhuque City has several major guilds.

But… Zhuque City is very large.

Training spots, there are many…

It's basically impossible to completely monopolize it, unless… all ten major guilds crowd into Zhuque City.

This level 55 training spot is relatively remote, and the monsters are thick-skinned, high-attack, high-defense Earthrock Rhinos; normally at this stage, few people go to level 55 training spots to grind monsters.

Not to mention such a remote, thankless training spot—basically no one goes there.

Su Sheng alone…

He directly monopolized a training spot.

Su Sheng came back here simply because he was too lazy to run.

This place is the nearest to where he just helped his dad with a quest.

Anyway, with nothing else to do right now, he can only level up first; grinding monsters can also provide experience for guild level upgrades.

Moreover, Su Sheng is level 47; a level 50 training spot only yields level 3 over-level grinding experience.

He cannot maximize experience gain…

Now the main consumers of experience are three…

Su Sheng, the righteous beast, and the mount…

But after seeing his dad's mount, Su Sheng also wondered… whether he could pause the mount's experience allocation, after all, the righteous beast can serve as a mount after reaching level 60.

Secondly, the attributes of the wild horse mount…

Originally Su Sheng was quite satisfied, but now he feels it's somewhat lacking.

Right now…

Let's just use it for now.

Su Sheng silently lowered the experience allocation to his mount to the minimum five percent.

The remainder is split evenly between himself and the Xiezhi Xiao Jia Huo.

Let's grind~

Earthrock Rhinos, thick-skinned and prone to charging, with attacks not low either.

But they're just small fry; for Su Sheng, there's naturally no pressure.

Just feels…

Experience points, they're rising so slowly.

Now the difficulty of leveling up is also getting higher and higher.

Grinding monsters is boring and tasteless, especially alone—it's quite dull.

However…

Just at this moment.

Pa~

A purple light halo shone, refreshing Su Sheng's spirit.

Did the small monster turn purple?

Su Sheng recalled the skeleton small monster from the earlier desolate grave mound; his dad's Yin Yang Fangshi also benefited from the treasure map dropped by that small monster.

Thinking of the treasure map…

Su Sheng also recalled that the Dream Building Squad's quest yielded treasure map fragments—five in total—and Zhu Meng Junjie gave them all to him.

However, assembling the treasure map is still missing five pieces, and there are currently no clues.

All we can do is wait patiently.

Su Sheng dismounted and picked up this purple drop.

"Huh?"

Skill book!

Hidden Skill Book, how interesting.

Hidden Skill Book (Purple)

Earth Magic Armor.

Active buff.

Effect: Gather earth magic, condense a set of Earth Element Magic Armor, gaining shield value. (Shield value = Spirit × 2)

Restriction: Magic Class.

Isn't this… the skill of those Earth Rock Rhinoceroses…

Su Sheng felt frustrated; when these Earth Rock Rhinoceroses are low on health, they trigger this skill.

It instantly generates an extra half‑shield value out of thin air.

That's also one of the thick‑skin bonuses of these Earth Rock Rhinoceroses.

However, Magic Class…

Priests and Mages can use it.

Consider it an additional Survival Skill.

But Su Sheng feels the most essential is the Combat Mage.

After all, Combat Mages are a fragile melee class; even with magical shields… they cannot escape their frail fate.

In this situation, gaining an extra shield is just perfect.

Leave it to Murong.

That girl, because of a balanced‑explosion skill book, specializes as a Combat Mage, which is a bit…

…hard to adapt, I guess.

After all, her original plan was to specialize as an Arcane Mage.

Melee Mage… still a fragile melee mage; avoiding mistakes is just too hard.

Continue…

Su Sheng smiled contentedly and smacked his lips.

Grinding monsters…

"A Sheng, A Sheng…"

At that moment, another Private Chat popped up.

Hmm?

Su Sheng opened the Private Chat: Dad?

"What's up, Dad? Is there anything else you need help with?" Su Sheng replied.

"No, the quests are already finished; there's nothing else to help with."

"But are you near these coordinates…?"

Su Ba replied immediately.

Su Sheng furrowed his brows: "Yeah, what's up?"

Dad sent his coordinates, which turned out to be the Training Spot of this Earth Rock Rhinoceros.

"I saw Imperial Dynasty members passing by; not sure what they're up to, over 3,000 of them. Be careful."

Su Ba warned.

Hmm?

Imperial Dynasty?

This place is extremely remote.

Large‑scale players rarely come here.

The only nearby Training Spot is this Earth Rock Rhinoceros.

Why would the Imperial Dynasty bring over three thousand people here? To train?

Unlikely; the Imperial Dynasty already occupies better level‑55 Training Spots, so they probably wouldn't bother with a place like this Earth Rock Rhinoceros.

Then…

A quest, or a BOSS perhaps.

BOSS? Su Sheng has been grinding here for half an hour and hasn't seen any BOSS.

Let's see what the Imperial Dynasty is actually planning…

Su Sheng unleashed a rapid combo of three to five attacks, using several big skills, and cooked the Earth Rock Rhinoceros in front of him.

Then he immediately donned the Cloak of Invisibility and hid to the side.

Five minutes later, the corpses of the Earth Rock Rhinoceroses at the Training Spot had all respawned.

Some newly spawned Earth Rock Rhinoceroses leisurely roamed the area.

It was impossible to tell that someone had just been training here.

Su Sheng was curious about what the Imperial Dynasty was planning.

If there were a chance to pick the peaches, Su Sheng wouldn't mind taking action.

After all, both are in Zhuque City; although they cooperated in the Cauldron Seizure War, they are still rivals.

…

Su Sheng waited patiently, hidden to the side.

About three more minutes later…

Su Sheng's expression flickered, but he made no move; even his breathing slowed.

Just now…

A faint gust of air brushed past in front of Su Sheng.

Without a doubt, that was…

An Invisibility assassin passed by.

It should be the Imperial Dynasty's Scout Assassin.

Scouting and pathfinding this kind of thing, under normal circumstances, are done by the assassin's branch, the Gale Thief.

Because they can Invisibility, and they run the fastest.
