Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Thousand Souls’ Attraction! The Reason to Be King!
[Thousand Souls’ Attraction]
[Type: Passive Skill]
[Tier: Tier 1]
[System: Necromancy Element]
[Cost: None]
[Cooldown: None]
[Effect: The Calamity Monarch draws their fundamental power source from their people.]
[Grants you an increase in Life Value, Mana Value, Attack Power, Defense, Magic Resistance, and basic four-dimensional attribute bonuses, which are 10% of the corresponding attributes of all undead creatures you command.]
[As long as other undead creatures you command exist, they will bear all fatal damage in your stead.]
[When the Calamity Monarch is present, the summoning duration of all undead creatures in the "Calamity" camp is unlimited!]
[Note: This is the reason to be a king.]
Lin Yi finally understood why Lin You had such explosive basic attributes despite being only level one.
Because all those undead creatures he summoned previously provided Lin You with a basic attribute bonus!
Moreover, the three effects of the Thousand Souls’ Attraction are truly amazing.
Aside from the bonus, as long as there are other summoned creatures, they will shield Lin You from damage.
Conversely, Lin You’s presence can indefinitely extend the duration of these skeletal soldiers in the Calamity Legion!
Truly somewhat invincible!
Looking at Lin You’s attributes, Lin Yi was very pleased.
He was glad he chose to evolve this skill.
The enhancement to the entire Necromancy Element was immense!
Though frankly speaking, Lin Yi found that even without the attribute bonus from the Thousand Souls’ Attraction, his health and attack power seemed still lower than level one Lin You.
Is this the gap between humans and creatures of the Abyss World?
The starting line is completely different.
However, Lin You’s debut as a Lord-level creature means her positioning is at the same tier as other normal dungeon bosses.
Since the Catastrophe Era until now,
the humans of Blue Star have not ceased researching monsters.
Their strength is measured not only by their level,
but also by their rank.
The most ordinary minor monsters lack a rank, and their abilities are naturally limited to a very low level due to this absence.
Among the stronger individuals in the leveling area minor monster groups,
their rank is classified as elite level.
This is the initial rank.
Above the elite level is the Lord level, most dungeon bosses and field bosses fall into this rank.
Above the Lord level is the Dominator level.
BOSSES possessing this rank are generally mutant BOSSES.
Beyond the Dominator level, it formally enters the evaluation standards of the Abyss World.
[Abyss Demon King], also known as King Tier.
Previously, the mutated undead knight Rivendell, which Lin Yi encountered, had its rank temporarily raised by half a tier due to being enhanced by Abyssal energies.
From Dominator level to Quasi-King Tier.
Meanwhile, in the dungeon City of Fading Light, Feilieka, the rank of the Shadow Demon Spider Lin Yi encountered was truly King Tier.
Within the King Tier itself, there are higher and lower evaluations.
The strength disparity between Quasi-King Tier, King Tier, and Peak King Tier is still very significant.
Above King Tier is the [Abyssal Demon Emperor], abbreviated as [Emperor Tier].
Previously, when Qi Guoguang was evaluating a code name for Lin Yi, he considered him an Abyssal creature of [Emperor Tier] rank.
Above Emperor Tier is the [Abyss Demon Monarch], abbreviated as [Monarch Tier] or [Imperial Tier].
To date, there are fewer than ten [Imperial Tier] Abyssal beings recorded by the Blue Star Human Race.
Moreover, each [Imperial Tier] Abyssal entity, if truly descending upon Blue Star, possesses the power to destroy an entire nation.
This knowledge is not a secret.
It’s even directly written in culture textbooks for high school students nationwide.
Even Lin Yi understands it thoroughly.
In the future, when Lin You advances, she would acquire more skills, and so Lin Yi would need to bring her along while leveling up.
In the future, she should also form an important part of his complete strength, and Lin Yi couldn’t neglect her.
At this point, the rewards for attaining the top provincial scorer were nearly spent by Lin Yi.
However, he was very satisfied with this wave of strength amplification, which was nothing short of terrifying!
Looking at the time, Lin Yi noticed it was close to 12:30.
Li Yuanjing had already had a sumptuous lunch prepared in the luxurious apartment reserved for Lin Yi.
After having lunch, Lin Yi took a short nap.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already past 2:00. Lin Yi washed his face and tidied himself up.
He then took out the scroll given to him by Li Yuanjing and crushed it.
The next moment, Lin Yi found himself being teleported to a teleportation hall somewhere beneath Tianhai.
Li Yuanjing was already there waiting for him.
"You’re here?"
"The time is about right; let’s set off."
...
Xia, Imperial Capital.
This is the heart of the entire Xia.
Also the only special-grade base city in Xia.
A representation of the most prosperous state of the Blue Star Human Race civilization!
A towering skyscraper is situated at the center of the first ring of the entire Imperial Capital Base City.
Currently, there are three top-level organizational structures in Xia.
The first, Xia Professional Alliance!
Primarily responsible for managing all freelance professionals and their guilds throughout Xia.
It boasts the largest population scale!
The most complex administrative hierarchy!
And the widest influence!
The second, Xia Professional Alliance Army!
In any era, for a nation to establish sovereignty, an official professional army with a governmental title is required.
During the Catastrophe Era, the strength of this army is the ultimate expression of national military power!
Therefore, only as a member of the Professional Alliance Army are you eligible to access high-grade equipment!
Finally, Xia Education Bureau!
From nurturing new professionals in high schools across all base cities to supplying talent to the Professional Alliance and the Professional Alliance Army through various top-tier academies.
All are under the jurisdiction of the Education Bureau.
It concerns the future of young professionals throughout Xia, and the resources in the hands of the Xia Education Bureau are not much less than those of the Professional Alliance.
Only next to the Professional Alliance Army.
This towering skyscraper is the third top-level organization in Xia, the Education Bureau!
At this moment, underneath the Education Bureau,
a glow of teleportation appears.
Lin Yi and Li Yuanjing emerge.
From Tianhai to the Imperial Capital, the actual geographical span is nearly a hundred thousand kilometers. If traveling by underground shuttle train, it would take at least over ten days.
This is the drawback of the expanded Blue Star map after the Abyss’ descent.
However, both of them came through the inter-provincial super teleportation array, taking just over ten minutes to arrive.
With Lin Yi’s arrival,
he also discovered that there were already several hundred people standing in this underground space.
Utilizing the [Eye of Omniscience], Lin Yi could easily see that the young people around, like himself, whether in level or profession, were the cream of the crop.
The lowest among them having a rare-class profession, making Lin Yi more of an outlier in this group.
There are a total of 34 provinces nationwide, and only the top ten from each province are eligible to participate in this fifth round of tests.
Including himself, these should be the national top 300.
Just as Lin Yi arrived, the announcer’s voice resonated through the speakers in this underground space.
"Dongjiang Province candidate submission——"
"Candidate Lin Yi, points from the first four rounds: 8000!"
"First four-round points ranking, first place!"
As the announcement ended, Lin Yi immediately felt hundreds of gazes fixed on him!
Instantly, he became the focus of the entire room.
