Chapter 794: Chapter 794

"Skills with constant levels are upgraded directly as they don’t require getting to the next level due to their stable effects. It seems that I’ll have to be more prudent when selecting new skills in the future. Without the corresponding items for leveling up, even the most well-developed skills can only reach level 30, thus not fulfilling their full potential,"

At level four and above, the gap in strength becomes extremely noticeable. Even if their levels and equipment are identical, a powerful fourth-tier player would absolutely crush a weaker one.

Before going to bed, Du You opened the panel and studied. Then, he activated the Spellcaster’s profession upgrade. After examining the numerous branches, he ultimately chose to specialize in the Dark Attribute.

Among his spells, only a few don’t possess the Dark Attribute. The Disintegration Spell has no attribute and belongs to the rule-type. Spell Splitting Skill is an auxiliary spell that doesn’t need an attribute.

Lastly, there’s Soul Pierce, which can also be modified to incorporate the Dark Attribute in the future. All other skills were transformed into Dark Attribute when he ascended to the second tier and when he had just started learning them. This makes the Dark Attribute the best specialization for him. Now, the upgrade quest is activated.

Profession Upgrade Quest: Kill two hundred Spellcasters of the same level without using items.

"That’s not bad. I wasn’t planning on using any item anyway. The restriction applies more to others than to me. But wait, does equipment count as an item? I’ll have to check it tomorrow."

Exhausted, Du You, holding Lin Yushi, quietly fell asleep, not thinking anymore about it.

Early next morning, Du You started to review. But as he checked, he noticed a problem. While equipment might be used, the skills activated by the equipment were not allowed. Only passive effects could be used.

This would greatly reduce unexpected events, which was advantageous for him.

But Du You found that there was a unique gambling method in the official competition.

"You can choose to challenge the win streaks. For Bubble to level up, what I need is an item - Holy Crystal - about 2.2 pounds, equivalent to a unit. It can’t be found anywhere else, but by challenging win streaks, let’s see...just a hundred wins will suffice."

"Master, wouldn’t that be too dangerous?"

"What’s dangerous about it? I don’t intend on losing even once, so I have to keep winning. That’s all there is to it. At most, they’ll match me against a more substantial opponent during the matchmaking, but that doesn’t matter."

The two sisters, seeing Du You so confident, didn’t mind. They, too, had faith in him.

Challenging a hundred-win streak quickly spread to all the major cities. As for what Du You needed, the officials got it ready for him in no time. As long as Du You succeeded, the Holy Crystal would be his.

Finding such a material isn’t easy, so he had to seize the opportunity. Without it, he wouldn’t be able to upgrade his Unicorn, and its level would be stuck at 30.

When Du You teleported to the designated location, there was already a lot of spectators. The official arena was noisy. Du You, considered the defender of the position, would not leave.

"It’s him. He doesn’t look so impressive, yet he’s challenging a hundred-win streak. It’s been a long time since anyone has successfully achieved a hundred-win streak. I heard that the last time was over twenty years ago."

"That time, it was pure luck. I’ve heard that the officials don’t allow anyone to achieve over a hundred-win streak."

Everyone knew that once someone succeeded in a hundred-win streak, the officials would have to reward them with fitting prizes which came at a huge cost. Unless there was a greater conviction for them to do so, the officials, within the rules, would always find a way to trouble the player.

Du You, donning a hood, did not reveal his appearance and silently waited for the match. He completely ignored the discussions around him, not wanting to put pressure on himself.

A moment later, a Spellcaster appeared in front of him. He didn’t waste any words and immediately launched a spell at Du You. Unfortunately for him, Du You’s Dark Flame Arrow Array made a quicker appearance and overwhelmed him.

In a wide area with no escape, the opponent could only defend with a magic shield. However, the assault by the Dark Flame Arrow Array was more potent than he had expected, instantly crushing both his magic shield and his spell. In a flash, an enemy of the same level was eliminated by Du You.

"It’s an instant kill! What a terrifying skill, such deadly power. No wonder he’s bold enough to accept the challenge."

"That kind of skill must consume a lot of energy. As long as the officials speed up the matchmaking process, he won’t be able to hold up."

The surrounding people were amazed at Du You’s technique, but very few of them believed that he could succeed. Du You didn’t mind, and swiftly faced the second enemy, deploying the same tactics.

For every subsequent opponent, Du You employed the Dark Flame Arrow Array to knock them out. All of them utilized the magic shield for protection. As for the instantaneous movement, only one person used it.

After all, the Instantaneous Movement skill was incompatible with Spellcasters. Most of the opponents who were mindful of their future didn’t learn this skill, leaving only Du You, who could afford to invest in a large number of Crystal Coins for its construction.

Presently, Du You relied on this unbeatable technique. No matter who confronted him, he would defeat them with a single move. Even his opponents who could use Instantaneous Movement couldn’t escape the attack radius and were slain by the second round of Dark Flame Arrow Array.

As time passed, Du You’s magic power was continuously being drained. The energy he recovered from killing enemies was insignificant. As he saw the speed of matchmaking increasing, Du You knew that the officials were intervening. By the time he had hunted down the fiftieth opponent, he found that his magic power was nearing half consumption.

Though it seemed like he could persist till the end, Du You would never allow himself to venture into dangerous territory. One must know that in such contests, the use of items or potions was not allowed. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝕟𝕖𝕥

Other challengers meant nothing. After all, their goals were different from his.

Du You waved his hand and activated the Dark Spirit Light, which began to absorb the surrounding dark element to strengthen itself.

"What is that? The challenger has employed a new skill. Is it a skill to boost the power of spells?"

"No, his spell is already powerful. No one so far has been able to withstand even a single attack, so it can’t be that. I think I’ve seen a similar skill before. It seems like it’s to restore magic power."
