As the Wind Wolf King died, a series of notifications immediately flooded Ling Yan's mind.
Besides the almost identical rewards as last time, Ling Yan's level also rose to LV20!
All his attributes directly surged by a full 200 points!
This was the reason Ling Yan mentioned earlier: the gap between LV20 and LV19 was immense.
One should know that without equipment bonuses, the average of the four main attributes at LV19 would only just reach around 200.
This meant that after upgrading to LV20, all attributes effectively doubled!
However, similarly, the strength of LV20 wild monsters was absolutely incomparable to ordinary LV19 ones!
This was also why the LV20 Dark Gold-Level Dungeon was scheduled to take place two days after the three-day trial period ended.
Two days were enough time for SS+-Class geniuses to raise their level to LV20.
The reason Ling Yan only leveled up once after a full day was mainly because he hadn't gone to Apocalypse Continent; if he had, he probably could have reached LV20 in half an hour.
"System, put all attribute points into my soul!"
Ling Yan didn't hesitate and spoke directly to the system.
"Ding… Command accepted!"
No sooner had Ling Yan's words fallen than a cool sensation instantly spread through his mind.
Soon, Ling Yan's Soul value increased by a full 200, and with the 200 bonus from all attributes, his Soul value directly surged from over 1,400 to over 1,800.
"The wind wolf king set should be able to upgrade to LV20 now. System, use the weapon level upgrade scroll to upgrade the wind wolf king set to LV20!"
Ling Yan didn't hesitate and spoke directly.
Although he would soon acquire a Gold set, these Gold sets were generally quite subpar.
Only if he were an SS-Class genius could he obtain a slightly better Gold set.
SS_ levelS-Class and above geniuses could acquire top-tier Gold sets.
As for Dark Gold, sorry, unless you are an SS_ levelS-Class genius, or have made significant contributions to the Human Clan, or belong to a top-tier family that can purchase it with vast resources capable of buying tens of thousands of Life planets, otherwise, Dark Gold grade equipment cannot even be seen.
After all, Dark Gold grade dungeons could only be cleared by SS_ levelS-Class Super geniuses.
And they would still need the assistance of some SS-Class geniuses to ensure a foolproof clear.
Of course, clearing a dungeon does not mean Dark Gold grade equipment will drop.
It might take clearing it a dozen or twenty times before a Dark Gold grade dungeon item drops.
Back then, an SS_ levelS-Class Super genius from the Yan Shen Star System spent a full month to drop an entire set of Dark Gold grade equipment.
For this, he didn't level up for a month!
Of course, the equipment he dropped was also exchanged for a suitable set of his own from the Human Clan Alliance!
Furthermore, with his talent, he could use this set of LV20 Dark Gold grade equipment to freely exchange for any set of Dark Gold grade equipment up to LV100 from the Human Clan Alliance mall.
The prerequisite was that after he finished using it, this set of LV20 Dark Gold grade equipment would revert to the Human Clan Alliance.
This was also one of the Human Clan Alliance's policies for cultivating Super geniuses.
And it was an important means to ensure that the quantity of high-quality weapons and equipment did not decrease.
It could be said that this policy was absolutely a win-win, because for Super geniuses, LV20 Dark Gold grade equipment would become inferior to LV30 Gold equipment in less than ten days.
If such a policy wasn't in place, who would bother, even suppressing their own level for a month, just to drop that LV20 equipment?
With that time, they could probably reach LV35 or even LV40.
[Ding! Upgrade complete!! Consumed LV30 Purple Equipment Upgrade Scroll * 4! Your wind wolf king set's level has been raised to: LV20!]
And just as Ling Yan was pondering, a notification also reached his mind.
At the same time, Ling Yan could clearly feel that both his physical body and soul had received a tremendous boost at that instant.
Ling Yan immediately opened the attributes of the LV20 wind wolf king set!
[Equipment: wind wolf set Level: LV20 Attributes: All Attributes +1200, Wind Damage and Damage Reduction +5000, Mana and Health Regeneration +50/second Effect: Armor Penetration +30% for LV40 and below; for every ten levels above, effect reduces by 10%!
Deals 40% more damage to wolf-type creatures!
Skill: Wind Wolf King's Fury (Purple): Gain 1 point of Rage for each wild monster killed. When released, 1 point of Rage can unleash 1 point of damage! Maximum: 300,000. All Rage dissipates when equipment is unequipped.]
The all-attribute bonus directly increased from the original 800 to a full 1200! The Wind attribute damage bonus also increased to 5000!
This boost was absolutely terrifying.
"The Rage value cap for Wind Wolf King's Fury has also increased to 300,000, which is good. If fully released, it's definitely comparable to an extremely powerful Purple skill!"
Ling Yan smiled with satisfaction.
Although this wind wolf king set was low-level, it was definitely a top-tier Purple equipment.
If one had a set, they would generally choose to use an equipment upgrade scroll to raise its level.
Of course, in reality, the price of this LV30 Purple Equipment Upgrade Scroll far exceeded that of ordinary LV30 Purple equipment!
The drop rate was also ridiculously low.
Only top-tier Purple equipment like the wind wolf king set would prompt someone to use an upgrade scroll to level it up!
As for Ling Yan, sorry, as someone who had killed five ultimate BOSSes, he stated that he had a total of twenty-five such upgrade scrolls; having used eight, he still had seventeen remaining.
Therefore, even though he was about to acquire a Gold set, he still chose to upgrade; there was no other way, he was just that rich!
"Let's continue stacking passives!"
Ling Yan didn't pay much attention to the equipment, but instead erupted with surging flames and charged directly towards the next Wind Wolf Nest.
Next, just like before, Ling Yan systematically slaughtered one Wind Wolf Nest after another.
Because the number of wild monsters in the Wind Wolf Nest was slightly smaller, Ling Yan managed to eradicate a full 20 Wind Wolf Nests in just over three hours.
[Ding… Congratulations to the host for killing the wild monster Wind Wolf, Plunder passive successful! Wind Mastery upgraded to LV13 (0/4000) ]
[Ding… Congratulations to the host for killing the wild monster Wind Wolf, Plunder passive successful! Speed Mastery upgraded to LV13 (0/4000) ]
Unfortunately, due to the limited number of Wind attribute and Speed attribute wild monsters, Ling Yan only managed to upgrade his Mastery levels to LV13 before stopping.
However, Ling Yan wasn't idle; he went to Slime Prairie and spent a full five hours eradicating nearly four million Slimes.
Afterward, he found another water-type wild monster zone and completely wiped it out, adding another three million wild monsters to those killed by Ling Yan.
The Slime King that spawned was also directly massacred, and coupled with killing fifty leader-level wild monsters during that time, Ling Yan's level reached LV20 (99%).
