I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second-Chapter 549: Unique Instance Mechanism and a Heart Grown Warm Again
The scorching sun hung high in the sky.
The intense sunlight poured over the desert shimmering with golden light.
The fine sand absorbed the heat of the blazing sun, causing the atmosphere to ripple with the rising temperature from the ground.
Slaves with blackened skin walked barefoot across the scorching desert.
Whether due to fear of the overseer soldiers or the long-term toil, their feet had grown accustomed to treading the heated sands, and their faces showed no sign of pain.
Some of the slaves wielded tools to polish the massive stone blocks.
The clinking sounds that Lin Yi heard came from them.
Other slaves carried coarse ropes on their shoulders.
The other end of the ropes was tied to a giant stone weighing several tons, which slowly rolled across the desert with the combined effort of several slaves.
When Lin Yi first appeared in this space, his target was too small, and neither the working slaves nor the overseeing soldiers noticed his presence.
But as more and more people entered this space, the presence of Lin Yi and others eventually attracted the attention of the overseers and slaves.
At the same time, the dungeon notification finally sounded again.
[Congratulations on successfully entering the 99th floor dungeon of the Deep Sea Tower — The Vanished Empire]
[This task does not require mandatory combat. You must meet with Death God Anubis alone and answer his questions. The person with the best answers will receive the scepter of Anubis and proceed to the next level.]
[Note: Only one person can clear this stage. If your Life Value returns to zero during the challenge, it will be deemed a failure, and you will be automatically transported out of the dungeon.]
What?
Only one person can clear it?
If that’s the case, then...
"Lin Yi, it’s been a great journey with you~ I’ll go ahead first!"
A Professional from the Ribuluo Country raised his hand in the crowd, waved at Lin Yi, and the next second, he activated his own Power of Law and struck his chest.
The Deep Sea Tower has a protection mechanism, ensuring that when sustaining fatal injuries, a participant in the trial won’t die and will be immediately transported out of the instance.
Since there were no monsters and no combat in this dungeon, the only way to leave was to remove themselves.
Before Lin Yi could respond, the figure of the Ribuluo Professional who had acted upon himself vanished completely, appearing to have been transported out of the dungeon.
"Lin Yi, it’s been a pleasure traveling with you, thanks for taking care of us. I’ll wait for you outside the tower~"
The Pyramids Country had fully set aside its prejudice against Xia.
Throughout this journey, he witnessed Lin Yi’s efforts and his contributions to Blue Star.
Along this journey, the War Gods from Blue Star relied on Lin Yi to acquire a large amount of rare resources, enhancing their power beyond expectations.
So, he also chose to leave the dungeon in the same manner as the Professional from Ribuluo.
Where there is one, there will be a second; where there is a second, there will be a third.
Having journeyed together, Lin Yi remembered many faces.
Unconsciously, his heart was once again filled with warmth.
During most of his time as a Professional, Lin Yi had been relying on his extraordinary capabilities to handle one situation after another.
After mastering the Power of the Eternal Law, Lin Yi’s mindset shifted unconsciously.
He began to grow colder.
Upon gaining the Harmonization Layer level Power of the Eternal Law, even Lin Yi himself didn’t realize that the presence of his companions from Xia in his life had dwindled, and his heart was gradually turning cold.
Now, watching his comrades, who had fought shoulder to shoulder, send themselves out of the dungeon one by one, Lin Yi’s eyes actually began to moisten.
"Hey, Lin Yi, I still couldn’t help you much in this dungeon. I wanted to repay the life-saving favor, but it seems this dungeon isn’t giving me a chance, I’ll leave first~"
The Golden Rhinoceros War God gave Lin Yi a slight smile, then sent himself out of the dungeon.
"That Golden Rhinoceros kid, really."
Taidou War God Zhou Heyu maintained a benevolent expression on his face.
However, his look was different from when he first met Lin Yi; now, there was an air of relief and ease.
This old War God’s strength in Xia might not be the best, but his status in Xia was unmatched.
He dedicated himself entirely to nurturing talents for Xia for over a century, always working diligently, never slacking.
But today, the burden on his shoulders was utterly lifted.
Because Xia, no, the entirety of Blue Star! The entire Blue Star now had a presence that commanded the respect of all the War Gods from various countries.
With him around, the rivaling nations on Blue Star would set aside their differences, display their prowess, and unite against outside adversaries.
"Lin Yi, my promise stands forever. Even if I die, the Xia Professional Alliance will continue to uphold the pledge I made to you, boldly move forward, the entire Xia Professional Alliance stands behind you."
After Zhou Heyu finished speaking, he smiled and struck his chest, sending himself out of the 99th floor of the Deep Sea Tower.
Lin Yi’s eyes began to moisten slightly.
The old mentor Zhou Heyu had helped Lin Yi a lot on his path of growth.
Unexpectedly today.....
"Tch, that old man talks too much!"
Wanchong Mountain smiled, looking at where Zhou Heyu had disappeared.
"Lin Yi, you know, your principal here is very powerful. If I, Old Cat, were to compete with you for the only spot to reach the 100th floor, your chances of success would greatly diminish."
"So, let’s do it this way, today Old Cat won’t compete with you, sell you a favor! After the instance ends, come back to Shenxiao and take on the role of dean, whether in name or function! If you really find it unsatisfactory, I’ll even give up my principal’s position for you!"
With that, Old Cat followed Zhou Heyu’s footsteps and left the dungeon.
"Lin Yi, I wasn’t wrong about you, you truly are the one who can lead Blue Star out of the control of countless divine beings!"
"From now on, whatever decisions you make, I will continue to support you!"
Stark said no more and also sent himself out.
Bang~
Cheng Xiao landed a light punch on Lin Yi’s chest.
"Lin Yi, there’s a certain magic power in you that I can’t help but admire."
"Today, even if the opponent was Xuanyuan War God, I, Cheng Xiao, wouldn’t give up, but you’re different. My law clearly tells me that in competing with you, I have no chance of winning. Seeing everyone else bow out, I can’t make a scene."
"How about this, you owe me a duel, after everything settles, let’s fight one, shall we?"
Aside from Lin Yi, all 48 other War Gods made no hesitation, striking themselves and exiting the dungeon one after another.
According to the dungeon rules, Lin Yi had already qualified to enter the next level.
No matter his answer, whether it could satisfy Anubis or not, his answer would be the best!
Because he was the sole participant in the instance!
