Unfortunately, a complete set of golden equipment was not something a genius from Long Teng Star had the opportunity to access.
Even one piece was already the limit for their families.
"Buzz!!!"
Just then, a young woman shrouded in frost emerged from the spatial rift.
The moment everyone saw her, they were all stunned.
"Wait, she's only coming out now, could it be that she also cleared the fourth wave!?"
"What are you thinking? Although she's an SS_ level+ genius, it's not that easy to solo and clear the fourth wave!"
"That's right, only with purple equipment and purple skills, unless you're an SS_ level- or higher genius, it's impossible!"
… … … … … …
The surrounding people, upon seeing Su Miaoran, all began discussing curiously, as she was, after all, the most powerful genius among all the talents of this generation, apart from Ling Yan.
Naturally, she attracted the attention of those around her.
However, no one was willing to believe that a genius from a small place could clear such a powerful fourth wave, especially since they had only barely managed to clear it with ten people!
"Not bad, not bad! You successfully cleared the fourth wave!
Your combat power is already comparable to an ordinary SS_ level-!"
However, Sikong Xueyun looked at Su Miaoran with admiration at this moment.
Even she found the feedback information somewhat unbelievable.
As soon as she spoke, everyone around widened their eyes in disbelief.
"She really cleared the fourth wave!?"
"Hiss! It's actually true, just how strong is Su Miaoran's power?"
"A genius, a combat genius! If she obtains golden skills and sets in the future, she might even truly be comparable to an ordinary SS_ level-!"
"It's also possible she obtained some special items earlier that could additionally boost her attribute points!"
"Impossible, such items can only drop in Dark Gold-Level or higher Dungeons!"
… … … … … …
In an instant, everyone was shocked.
In this world, while talent and level are primary.
There are actually exceptions.
There are several ways to surpass higher-level geniuses!
One way is equipment suppression, and another is skill suppression.
These two are the most common, but only disciples of Super families have such treatment.
After all, high-level geniuses are generally cultivated by the Human Clan Alliance, and the rewards given are extremely generous.
Therefore, these two most common methods of cross-leveling are actually the most difficult.
And another method is attribute suppression!
The attribute points everyone obtains when leveling up are constant.
However, there are some extremely special items that, after being consumed or used, can permanently increase attributes.
For example, the most common power fruit! Its grade is golden!
The lowest level is LV20! After eating it, it can increase power by 100 points!
If it's LV100, the increased power is even tens of thousands.
To obtain such terrifying items, one would need to clear at least a Dark Gold-Level Dungeon.
Alternatively, one could slay some King-level monsters.
However, the power of monsters at these levels is terrifying, and there is only an extremely low probability of obtaining them after slaying them. The difficulty of obtaining these is even harder than a complete set of golden equipment.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, those who can use such special items are either top-tier geniuses within the Human Clan or disciples of top-tier families that rule hundreds of thousands of Life planets.
And finally, there is one more way to kill enemies across levels.
That is combat talent!
Some people are born combat geniuses. With the same skills and equipment level, the combat power they can unleash is several times, or even more than ten times, that of ordinary people. One person can fight hundreds of people with the exact same equipment level without breaking a sweat.
Such geniuses are the true powerhouses. In the later stages, they can even use their combat talent to improve their talent rating!
There was once such a genius in the Yan Shen Star System who, with SS_ level+ talent, utterly annihilated an SS_ level genius.
An ordinary SS_ level- couldn't even last a few moves against him.
It's a pity that such a genius ultimately fell into the hands of an alien race.
Therefore, everyone present speculated that Su Miaoran might be this kind of combat genius.
Of course, she was naturally not as terrifying as that Super genius of the past.
"Please note! Player: Ling Yan has activated Purple Gold Thunder Bird Dungeon: Fifth Wave!"
A grand voice instantly stunned these chattering geniuses, making their eyes widen with horror.
"Activating the fifth wave? How dare he!!"
"As expected of an SS_ level genius, he actually dares to activate the fifth wave!
But speaking of which, how did he activate the fifth wave so quickly? Isn't there a rest period?"
"Could it be that he wants to try for an SS_ level+ rating!?"
"If he succeeds, then he'll be the strongest genius in our Celestial North Star System!"
"Yes, at that time, even if he enters the Yan Shen Star System, he might even make it into the top one hundred on the Flame God Leaderboard!"
… … … …
In an instant, all these geniuses were shocked by Ling Yan's audacity.
"Ling Yan is still inside, the BOSS of the fifth wave is not that simple!"
Su Miaoran, hearing the prompt, also frowned.
She could kill all the small monsters in the fifth wave, but she knew she could absolutely not defeat the ultimate BOSS!
At least, not yet!
"No need to worry, as long as you learn the Dark Gold grade skills I taught you and raise your level to SS+-Class+, you'll even be able to clear Dark Gold-Level Dungeons!"
Just then, a phantom voice appeared in Su Miaoran's mind.
"I understand, Master!"
Su Miaoran also nodded seriously.
That's right, Dark Gold grade skills can indeed be learned, but they require an incredibly terrifying amount of time and talent.
They also require someone who understands the skill extremely thoroughly to teach it.
And this is why Su Miaoran was chosen by her Master.
… … … … … …
… … … … … …
Time began to pass, minute by minute.
The team of ten SS+-Class geniuses also activated the fifth wave a few minutes after Ling Yan.
Now there were only two teams left in the entire Dungeon.
And both had already activated the fifth wave.
One was Ling Yan soloing.
The other was the eight SS+-Class and two SS+-Class- geniuses!
They speculated that the ten-person team had a much higher probability of passing than Ling Yan.
After all, the combined destructive power of ten people should be much greater than Ling Yan alone, right?
But just as they were curious, an anomaly occurred.
"Buzz!!!"
With a spatial fluctuation.
Six figures, full of horror and covered in wounds, appeared before everyone.
"Zhao Wu and the others failed? Why are there only six people?"
"There was no success prompt, so naturally they failed! The remaining four probably died!"
"According to the time, it should have already reached the BOSS!
It's already quite good that six of them made it back alive!"
… … … … … …
Seeing the miserable state of Zhao Wu and the others, everyone present sighed.
"The ultimate BOSS's power is simply too strong!"
"That's right, as soon as we went in, it killed four of our teammates with one skill, we couldn't even dodge.
If it weren't for classmate Zhu Sheng using Fatal Poison Explosion to burst 10% of the BOSS's health, which slowed down its attacks and allowed us to leave, we would all have died!"
"Sigh, just look and you'll know!"
… … … … … …
Zhao Wu and the others naturally didn't want to be underestimated, so they directly released the ultimate BOSS's attribute sheet and the Dungeon's recorded video.
In the footage, a terrifying giant bird with a wingspan of over ten meters instantly unleashed four terrifying bolts of Thunder Force!
The Thunder Force instantly killed the slowest students.
At this moment, the people around realized that these six surviving individuals weren't fast or defensively strong; they simply ran faster than the other four.
Watching this video, the six of Zhao Wu had extremely ugly expressions.
They had originally intended to record their highlight moment.
… … … … … …
Monster: Purple-Gold Thunder Bird King (King-level)
Level: LV20
Innate Passive:
Thunder Force LV8 (Can control Thunder Force, unleash 800% lightning damage!)
Speed Enhancement LV8 (Speed attribute gains 800% boost!)
Health: 3,000,000 / 3,000,000
Mana: 100,000 / 100,000
Attack Power: 5000
Speed: 600
Defense: 10000
Skills: Frenzied Thunder LV3 (Blue skill, unleashes 4 bolts of frenzied thunder, dealing a total of 400% lightning damage, and 40% lightning damage per second. Cost: 1000)
Endless Thunder (Purple, summons countless bolts of heavenly thunder to attack enemies! Each bolt can deal 100% lightning damage, with an upper limit of 600%! And causes 10% per bolt, totaling 60% sustained damage!
After six bolts hit simultaneously, subsequent heavenly thunder deals no damage but applies a 1% armor penetration effect! Can penetrate up to 50% armor! Cost: 10000)
… … … …
However, upon seeing these attributes, everyone gasped!
Although they had seen too many similar attributes, they only truly understood their power when they actually encountered them!
A full 5000 attack power, plus the eight-times boost from Thunder Force LV8, amounted to 40000 magical damage!
Even if a single bolt of Frenzied Thunder only dealt 100% damage, that was still a terrifying 40000 damage value!
It was truly lucky that anyone present survived.
Except for Super tanks that could boost defense and constitution, almost no one could withstand it.
But unfortunately, this year's batch of students didn't have such Super tanks, which was the worst part.
"Wait, why hasn't Ling Yan come out yet!"
Suddenly, at this moment, someone was puzzled.
Instantly, everyone present was bewildered. Yes, Zhao Wu and their ten people had all come out, so why hadn't Ling Yan?
"Hahaha, he hasn't come out yet, so he must be dead, right? You can't possibly think he'd still be alive, can you?"
However, just then, a hearty laugh came from not far away.
Everyone looked over and saw that it was Wu Ye, whose summoned beast had been killed by Su Miaoran.
Without his summoned beast, his power was even inferior to an ordinary person wearing a set of purple equipment!
Naturally, he had directly forfeited.
As soon as he spoke, everyone present frowned.
Ling Yan's monster-clearing speed was even faster than Zhao Wu and their ten people combined.
So, at Ling Yan's speed, he probably already confronted the ultimate BOSS!
"What a pity, an SS_ level genius, to fall like this!"
"If he had formed a team of two or three, he definitely could have cleared it!"
"It's a shame, his arrogance still harmed him!"
… … … … … …
These students all began to discuss, some gloating, some regretting, and some doubting!
"This kid, he didn't actually die in there, did he?"
Even Sikong Xueyun's brows furrowed more and more.
Because she could only see that person had reached that stage, but as for whether anyone died, she did not have the authority to know.
"Ding… Congratulations to player Ling Yan! Successfully cleared Dungeon: Purple Gold Thunder Bird Dungeon (Purple)"
However, just when everyone thought Ling Yan might have met with an accident, a notification sound instantly slapped everyone present hard in the face!
"Cleared, solo cleared!"
"So strong, this is definitely SS_ level+ power!"
"I never thought such a genius would emerge from our Long Teng Star!"
"And he's so handsome, too! Such a handsome genius, we have to act fast, or it'll be trouble if someone snatches him up!"
"Hey, hey, hey, is that the point!?"
… … … … … …
With the appearance of the notification sound, everyone gasped in shock.
It was truly too astonishing.
"He really cleared it. Ling Yan, could he have been hiding his power?
Or, is he the kind of Super combat genius Master spoke of?"
Su Miaoran also frowned, somewhat surprised.
Ling Yan's power had indeed exceeded her expectations.
"This little guy, as expected, is strong enough! I didn't misjudge him!"
Sikong Xueyun also smiled.
Of course, there was still a lot of shock in her heart.
"Impossible, how could he clear it? It's fake, it's definitely fake!"
Wu Ye, upon hearing this, immediately jumped up and shouted in disbelief.
Everyone who heard him looked at him with disdain.
The Revelation prompt had never been wrong.
"What? You really wish I were dead, don't you? But unfortunately, I'm not!"
However, just then, a playful voice came from within the spatial rift.
Then, Ling Yan walked out.
As he walked out, Ling Yan also directly swung an empty-handed slap towards Wu Ye.
Instantly, a gust of wind slammed into Wu Ye's face.
"Slap!!!"
-16500
The terrifying force instantly sent Wu Ye spinning dozens of times in place.
All his teeth flew out.
The massive damage left Wu Ye with only a sliver of health.
Such a severe injury also caused him to directly faint and collapse to the ground.
"I came out and heard you yapping, annoying!"
Ling Yan glanced at Wu Ye and no longer bothered with this brainless rich second generation.
However, this scene made everyone present swallow their saliva!
Ling Yan just casually struck, without using any skills, and dealt sixteen thousand damage. If he used a purple skill, wouldn't he be able to unleash eighty or ninety thousand?
Just thinking about it was a bit terrifying!
