Chapter 280: Chapter 228: Detailed Intelligence of the Fourth-Tier Lord Level Mission!_2

“I hope you haven’t misjudged this time, that Zi kid is worth the high cost of nurturing. Otherwise, overthrowing the braided regime in the Sea of Realms will be in some distant, unknowable future.”

“Forget about the braided regime in the Sea of Realms, I think we should let Zi kid plow through Blue Star first, it’d be best to cripple the top-end combat forces of the Coalition of Nations.”

“Cripple? He should help the Great Xia Empire unify the globe and then segregate those human-ape hybrids into rankings!”

After this time, we should have a good talk with Zi kid and Shen Nuwa, with our Dragon Academy backing them up, and the combined power of the Great Xia Empire’s official forces, we’ll strike directly!”

Especially, first eliminate the clubs and the sticky flag, cutting off the Coalition of Nations’ influence in the East!”

Decades ago, I wanted to find and eradicate the lineage of yin and yang created by that traitor Xu Fu!” the old drunkard ranted furiously, his mouth never far from his drink.

“You think you can beat that crafty old coot?”

With just one sentence, the old smoker shut the other up, leaving him no choice but to down several sullen swigs of liquor.

“The more we talk, the further off-topic we go. Zi kid scammed his way to at least thirty million Contribution Value this round, so let’s first unlock everything he needs, and then on behalf of the academy, send him the detailed information about the fourth-order Lord mission.”

The headmaster of Dragon Academy immediately made the decision, concluding the discussion among them.

…

In another arena.

After winning the challenge match, Zi Liyuan immediately started provoking again, this time targeting the top two in the sophomore rankings—the Element Master and the Space Mage.

Unfortunately, without a response from the two of them, he had no choice but to carry on with regular matches.

In seven consecutive matches, just as they started, he would obliterate his opponents with a single “Bone Spear” skill.

Even those who survived the initial “Bone Spear” couldn’t withstand the subsequent “Death Dark Arrow” and “Poison Spear” damage, ending the battle in basically 10 seconds.

As for the betting in these seven matches, not a single person bet on him to win, nor did anyone bet on his opponents to win.

So forget about winning any bets; he nearly scored a duck egg.

When the ten matches were over, Zi Liyuan’s sophomore ranking soared, landing him directly in third place!

He forcefully squeezed Situ Linglong down to fourth and surpassed a whole group of top ten contenders.

This ranking caused a stir among all the sophomores—it was a real slap in the face!

It was like stepping on the entire sophomore class a few times while they were down.

As a result, the personal messages of the two leaders were blown up by friends.

After climbing to third place, Zi someone naturally qualified to challenge the top two, and without hesitation, he filed a request with the arena.

However, there’s a protection mechanism for the top ten, not forcing them to accept immediately but rather to schedule an appointment first.

But these challenges can’t be postponed indefinitely, at most they have a month to respond. If they don’t, the arena will deem it a surrender and the rankings will change accordingly.

After applying for the challenge match, Zi Liyuan left the sophomore district and re-entered the Treasure Trove in the freshman district.

It was then that he received several payment notification tones in a row.

The first was from the private bet with Situ Linglong, ten million Contribution Value deposited into his account.

The second notification was a transfer from senior Cai that added another five hundred thousand to his account.

The next few were from number two, Shen Yurou, and Wang Fatty, each sending him four hundred thousand Contribution Value.

Beyond these five payment notifications were five other messages.

Ying Xueji, Liu Shengnan, Zhu Wu, and Li Fengwen all sent thank you messages, grateful to Boss Zi for taking care of them and helping each earn eight hundred thousand Contribution Value.

The first three were genuinely thankful, while the last one from Li Fengwen was full of sarcasm, prompting Zi someone to make another note of him in his mental little black book.

“`

By now, Zi Liyuan also knew who had outmaneuvered him and stolen a large sum of his Contribution Value income—that was a whopping forty million Contribution Value!

To see it being taken away by four people made his heart bleed!

“Next time I meet them, I must beg for mercy!”

Lord Zi thought to himself with venom, and then he opened the last piece of information.

It was intelligence about a Necromancer’s fourth-order Lord quest in great detail, sent by the headmaster of the Dragon Academy!

The information was extremely detailed, with the first item being a thorough introduction to the Necromancer BOSS’s detailed information.

Not to mention its excessively long health and mana bars, what Lord Zi cared about most were the BOSS’s skill details.

The skill tree with branches in three systems not only was fully unlocked, but also showcased ten variant skills!

The most outrageous thing was that among the ten variant skills, six were related to the bone summoning series!

“Skeleton Summoning,” “Elemental Skeleton Summoning,” “Clay Stone Demon,” “Blood Stone Demon,” “Iron Stone Demon,” and “Flame Stone Demon” had all mutated!

All were of the Lord template BOSS!

This meant that even the ordinary skeletons summoned by the Necromancer BOSS were Lord BOSS templates, which was simply preposterous!

Moreover, the individual attack spell “Bone Spear” had mutated into “Bone Spear Barrage,” changing from a single-target spell to a group attack spell without any reduction in damage!

As for the other three variant skills, they were curse skills “Increase Damage Taken” and “Lower Resistance.”

The former doubled the damage taken directly, while the latter reduced the cursed one’s resistances by 80%!

The last variant skill was the AOE skill “Toxic Nova,” which not only had its coverage area increased by several times, but the damage had also doubled, and the poison damage had greatly intensified.

One could say that such a Necromancer Lord BOSS, relying solely on its own skill output, could have killed Zi Liyuan several times over, not to mention the undead it summoned, which were all Lord BOSS level.

But this was not the most terrifying part; the most horrifying was the Necromancer BOSS’s skill—”Resurrection”!

That’s right, Zi Liyuan used this skill specifically to resurrect Epic and Legendary BOSSes, and the opponent was no less capable!

The fourth-order LV81 Necromancer Lord BOSS had a “Resurrection” skill at LV16, able to resurrect a total of sixteen creatures.

The BOSS would certainly use this skill, and the sixteen creatures it summoned were the most terrifying trump card!

Sixteen fourth-order LV81 Epic BOSSes!

Not to mention the disadvantage in level, but the number was not small either. These sixteen fourth-order Epic BOSSes could completely break through the Bone Dragon Boss Legion that Zi Liyuan currently summoned.

“So that’s how it is. The final trump card is also the ‘Resurrection’ skill, reviving Epic BOSS creatures.”

Looking at the Necromancer BOSS’s skill “Resurrection” description, especially the introduction to the sixteen Epic BOSSes, and seeing the word “random” written directly after it, Zi Liyuan also had a headache.

If it summoned fixed types of Epic BOSSes, he could calmly plan and specifically target these BOSSes to resist as best as possible.

But the word “random” caused him endless headaches; the uncertainty was too great.

If Lord Zi prepared a batch of measures against land-based Epic BOSSes and the opponent directly summoned sixteen aerial unit Epic BOSSes, he might well fall into a trap.

“No wonder the information emphasizes the need to prepare a large number of life-saving items, one to resist the Necromancer BOSS’s own Magic Damage, and the other to guard against the sixteen Epic BOSSes.”

Nodding, Zi Liyuan understood why Wang Fu had warned him not to attempt the fourth-order Lord-level class change quest lightly.

He had thought that with his current strength, the class change quest was almost a certainty, and he had been planning to pick a good day to attempt it.

Luckily, the academy sent him detailed information; otherwise, he might have capsized in the gutter and lost his life in this venture!

“Just, is there something wrong with this item list? Why do I have to spend ‘Heart of the Lord’ to exchange for these life-saving items?”

Zi Liyuan: (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻!!
