【Killed Lv40 Rare Boss · War Lord Arktus.】

【Level Up: 36 → 37】 A white light flashed over Jiang Zhaoyue.

【Level Up: 36 → 37】 A white light flashed over Jiang Yelan.

【Level Up: 33 → 36】 A white light flashed over Su Yurou.

【Level Up: 33 → 35】 A white light flashed over Feng Qingyan.

Two beams of light emerged from Arktus's corpse: a booklet glowing with blue light and a one-handed axe glowing with purple light.

He turned to look at the group. Jiang Zhaoyue's silver-blue battle armor had a ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) few new scratches, but her back remained straight, her silver-white spear propped against the ground, a smile on her lips.

Jiang Yelan's shadow strike leather armor was covered in ash. Her expression was indifferent, but the light in her eyes was bright.

Smoke was still rising from Feng Qingyan's staff, the flames of the Fire Crystal having already retracted. She sat down on the ruins with a thump, panting heavily, her face full of smiles.

Su Yurou's blue mage robe was covered in ash, and her lips were curved into crescents.

Lin Feng stood in the center of the ruins, gazing up at the collapsed dome. Dark red light leaked down through the cracks like silent lamps.

Dungeon, Fifth Floor, cleared.

...

Jiang Zhaoyue walked over, carrying her silver-white spear, her ponytail swaying gently behind her.

She raised a hand to tuck stray hairs behind her ear, revealing her smooth profile, the lingering intensity of the battle still visible in her eyes and brows.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and fine beads of sweat dotted her forehead, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

That smile was not her usual steady, decorous smirk, but a heartfelt joy, filled with the excitement of a young girl.

Jiang Yelan followed behind her, her footsteps silent, the shadow moon blade already sheathed.

She was half a head shorter than Jiang Zhaoyue, her black leather armor clinging to her slim figure, a few strands of hair dampened by sweat sticking to the side of her face.

Her face was as cold as frost, but as she approached, Lin Feng noticed a faint glimmer of softness in her eyes.

She handed a crystal glowing with purple luster to Lin Feng, her fingers long and fair, the fingertips still stained with a bit of uncleaned black blood.

"A purple crystal dropped on my side." Jiang Yelan's voice was very soft, like a breeze brushing past his ear.

Lin Feng took the purple crystal, nodded, and casually put it into his pack.

Jiang Zhaoyue walked up to him, handing over a dark cyan belt with both hands, her voice filled with a smile.

"Lord Lin, the Berserker on my side dropped a purple belt. The stats are pretty good; take a look."

Lin Feng took it and lowered his head to inspect it.

【Revival Belt (Purple)】

Equipment Slot: Waist

Base Stats: constitution +3, Defense +50, HP +500

Equipment Requirement: Level ≥ 20

Skill Effect: 【Vitality Flow】 (Active, Cooldown 15 minutes)

Upon activation, constitution +5, and immediately restores 500 HP. If the restored amount exceeds maximum HP, the excess is converted into a temporary shield lasting 10 minutes.

Lin Feng secretly sighed; this belt was perfect for Su Yurou.

She already had the Spirit Perception Headband and the windchaser boots, and her bone healing staff was purple. With this Revival Belt, she would have four pieces of purple equipment, enough to activate the purple set effect.

Moreover, she had her own Mana Shield. Combined with this belt's active healing and shield, the three shields stacking together would make her survival ability off the charts.

Even if she were pulled in front of a boss in the future, her situation wouldn't be as dangerous as it was just now.

He turned and bent down to pick up the two items dropped by Arktus.

The first was a booklet with a bronze cover, embossed with silver-white characters—Advanced Class Change Book · Vow-Bound Guardian.

He opened it, and the attribute panel unfolded before his eyes.

【Advanced Class Change Book · Vow-Bound Guardian】

Post-Class Change Base Bonus: Strength +40%, constitution +40%

The Vow-Bound Guardian possesses a unique combat resource called "Grievance" with a cap of 100 points. Successfully blocking an attack grants 10 points, and receiving an attack grants 20 points.

Effect 1 · Grievance Possession (Passive): When Grievance reaches 100 points, "Grievance Possession" status is automatically activated for 60 seconds, providing 20% damage reduction.

Effect 2 · Grievous Retribution (Passive): Increases damage dealt to enemies afflicted with "Weakened" or "Cursed" debuffs by 20%, and additionally restores HP equal to 10% of damage dealt.

Lin Feng's lips curled slightly. This Class Change Book was perfect for Zhao Hu. He was a front-liner who tanked damage every day, so he would accumulate Grievance quickly. Once Possession was activated, he would be both tough and capable of dealing damage.

He put the booklet away and picked up the one-handed axe. The axe blade was dark purple, the handle wrapped in non-slip twine, and the axe face was engraved with twisted runes that looked like bulging veins beneath skin.

【Grievous Devourer (Purple)】

Equipment Slot: Weapon · One-Handed Axe

Base Stats: Strength +4, Attack +80

Equipment Requirement: constitution ≥ 40

Effect 1 · Grievous Attack (Passive): All attacks apply "Grievous Curse". The cursed target's damage dealt is reduced by 20% for 20 seconds. This can only trigger once every 60 seconds on the same target.

If the target's overall attributes are lower than the holder's, the trigger probability is 100%.

If the target's overall attributes are higher than the holder's, the trigger probability is 5%.

Lin Feng's eyes lit up. The Grievous Devourer combined with the Vow-Bound Guardian was truly 1+1 > 2. Zhao Hu had been using the bone-crushing greatsword since the Black Wind Camp, and he could finally change weapons.

As he was thinking this, Feng Qingyan ran over from behind, her shield wobbling around her.

She leaned in next to Lin Feng, craned her head to look at the Class Change Book, and her eyes instantly lit up, her voice crisp and sweet.

"Another Advanced Class Change Book? Haha! Lord Lin, your lucky constitution is just too heaven-defying! Did you secretly enable some kind of cheat to increase drop rates?"

As she spoke, she pressed her hands together and blinked her large, watery eyes. The halo of her shield made her cheeks flush red, as if she had applied a layer of light rouge.

"Lord Lin, not only are you handsome, but your luck is so good, and you're so generous—do you even have any flaws?"

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, not responding.

Su Yurou walked over from behind, clutching the bone healing staff in her arms, the sweat on her forehead still not dry. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

She walked to Lin Feng's side and asked softly, "Lord, are you badly hurt? Your health bar has been showing 1 point, so I can't tell. Should I cast another heal on you?"

Lin Feng waved his hand, took out the Revival Belt from his pocket, and handed it to her.

"Yu Rou, this is for you."

Su Yurou was stunned for a moment, then took the belt with both hands and lowered her head to check the stats.

Her eyes widened abruptly, and her fingers gently caressed the belt.

She took a deep breath, looked up, and said firmly, "Lord, thank you... I will definitely make good use of it."

After saying this, she lowered her head to fasten the belt around her waist. A pale purple light shone from the belt, reflecting off her Mana Shield.

Just then, the ground began to vibrate with a continuous, rhythmic tremor, as if something was waking up deep beneath the earth.

On the dome of the Dungeon's fifth floor, the dark red light began to become unstable, flickering on and off like a light bulb about to burn out.

In the distance, about ten meters away from them, two beams of golden light emerged from the void and slowly coalesced.

One transformed into a golden sphere of light floating half a meter above the ground; that was the Dungeon's territory core.

The other condensed into a chest half a person's height, golden all over, its lid carved with intricate patterns, its edges inlaid with dark red gems that shimmered brilliantly in the golden light.
