Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 590 - 523: Gold-Level Intelligence_2

"The power of the rules lies in the fact that if you don’t have rules to protect you, then the effects are inevitable."

Saying this, Burton took out a small wooden shield from his space equipment and said to Longbei beside him, "Come, attack me once, but remember to make it a very ordinary attack."

After speaking, Burton got into position.

Longbei immediately took out his weapon from his space equipment.

Kane and the others focused their full attention, not wanting to miss a single detail.

Longbei raised his hammer and swung it towards Burton.

The power of this strike was clearly visible to the naked eye, and it could almost be said it was just for show; besides being slow, it looked quite soft.

As the strike approached the shield, Burton used a parry technique to easily deflect the hammer.

Everything seemed very ordinary—it was merely a skill demonstration, and up to this point, there appeared to be nothing unusual.

However, an unexpected situation occurred.

The deflected hammer caused Longbei’s body to sway, as if he could not control himself.

At this moment, Kane and the others’ eyes widened, knowing that Longbei was a close combat professional focused on defense.

Moreover, as a dwarf with the bloodline of the earth, he was naturally able to stand firmly on the ground.

With his racial bloodline coupled with his profession, Longbei had great talent in defense-oriented professions, making his stance very solid. It was almost impossible to make him recoil, let alone lose balance.

"How is this possible?" Longbei’s voice was unusually surprised.

This strike could almost be said to be exerted with no force at all, and even if it were deflected, it shouldn’t have any reaction.

But why was he unable to control his body and even slightly lost his balance from such a parry?

If this happened during a battle, who knows what a huge flaw it would be.

Burton put away the shield and said with a smile, "Did you feel it? This is the rule of parrying. No matter how weak your attack is, as long as it gets parried by me, you must endure the consequence of losing balance or stiffening."

"Because I only grasp a bit of the basics, I can only parry some ordinary attacks."

"It was only after spending several opportunities to comprehend that I understood this much. Sigh."

Having finished speaking, Burton sighed.

Using up several opportunities just to glimpse a tiny part of a rule.

The difficulty level of the golden dungeon is far higher than any of the previous levels, taking nearly half a year or more each time.

Staying in the dungeon for one or two years, even two or three years, is very common.

The completion time for the golden dungeon can range from half a year to 10 years, depending on the dungeon.

Moreover, information about golden-level dungeons is extremely scarce.

After all, a golden-level dungeon might only have been cleared 2-3 times, and there’s a lot of unpredictability.

We can only broadly determine the danger level of the dungeon and some points to pay attention to.

Spending so much time and expense for several opportunities only to grasp a bit of it, the rest is even more difficult.

Burton’s limitations were already clear; he had no chance to go further.

"So, Burton, you’ve definitely experienced the rules, haven’t you?" Kane asked solemnly.

He needed Burton to give an honest evaluation of the platinum scepter he held. He wanted to know if it could replace that one opportunity, allowing them to learn the rules easily.

Burton nodded and said, "Of course, I have definitely experienced the rules."

Kane nodded, taking hold of the head of the platinum scepter that had been floating next to him and handed it slowly to Burton.

"Then you try this."

Burton nodded, took it without understanding, and the moment he touched it, his eyes widened.

"This is... this is..."

Burton was instantly so shocked that he couldn’t speak clearly. He immediately closed his eyes and held onto the item tightly, starting to carefully perceive it.

After a while, he opened his eyes and immediately returned the scepter head to Kane.

"I didn’t feel wrong. This item indeed carries a rule and allows one to comprehend and experience it."

"And the efficiency it grants isn’t much different from the opportunity given by the mist, although it seems you can only comprehend one rule—I haven’t felt which rule it is yet. The mist offers countless kinds to choose from."

After listening to Burton’s explanation, Kane nodded.

The item Kane held was equivalent to having a permanent trial card for one product.

Whereas the one-time opportunity granted after clearing a golden dungeon is like a one-time pass to try any item in the store.

Then Burton stared seriously at Kane: "If the rule attached to this item suits you, then you can already be considered a reserve for the third tier."

Others must clear a dungeon to gain a chance to experience it once.

But Kane, embracing this item, could crazily experience and comprehend it—even a fool could eventually master this rule with enough time.

Of course, that’s assuming this rule suits Kane.

Everyone heard Burton’s words.

At this time, Kane spoke to his teammates.

"This is why I want to turn this dungeon into a permanent dungeon because this item only works inside this dungeon. Once it’s taken out, it’s just an ordinary ornament." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Most importantly, there are 5 of these items!"

Kane’s voice heightened.

And according to what the nun said, the 5 rules attached to these 5 items could definitely be considered universal.

"I agree to take control of this dungeon," Kreya said directly.

"Agree." "Lilu also agrees." "Agree."

After listening to Burton’s explanation, several people agreed directly. None of them were fools.

They were all effectively entering the reserve for the third tier.

It was entirely worth it.

Seeing that all his teammates agreed, Kane said with a smile: "Now, let’s discuss the specific matters."

Burton, beside them, shook his head helplessly and said: "A truly lucky bunch of geniuses, and I’ll become a witness."

At this point, even Burton laughed himself.

He was a true witness, from the start.

Once everyone confirmed some details and key points, they dispersed and returned to the dungeon entrance.

When Kane returned to the chapel, Heideline and the others were still conversing and hadn’t returned.

So he sat on a nearby seat to wait.

And began to check the [Book of Adventure].

The expansion button on the guild page flashed with a soft glow once again.

Long-awaited light.

This signaled that there were new expansion features.
