#2633 - Continuous clearance
A fierce beating!
Fang Heng observed the blood volume of the Salamander of Hellfire until he saw it drop to less than one-tenth.
At this time, the Salamander of Hellfire had been beaten into a state of near unconsciousness.
It discovered that the human in front of him was terrifyingly strong, completely unable to capture the opponent's movements. The flames burning on its body were like a flickering candle in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment.
"Almost there!"
Fang Heng shouted inwardly.
Whoosh!
A blue rune paper accurately stuck to the Salamander of Hellfire's abdomen.
"Bang!!"
Blue light burst open!
Game prompts appeared on Fang Heng's retina.
【Prompt: Player has completed the sealing of the Salamander of Hellfire】.
【Prompt: The player has passed the eleventh stage of the assessment trial. The player has obtained a Transcendent-level advancement book for Sealing Studies *1】.
Here it comes!
A dark light slowly fell from the sky.
The Transcendent-level Sealing Studies advancement book appeared before Fang Heng's eyes.
Most academic skills are divided into: Basic, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Master, Grandmaster, Transcendent, Demigod (Half-God), God-level.
There are also very few academic skills that lack the Transcendent level. After the Grandmaster level, they directly advance to the Demigod level.
For example, Necromancy and similar branches like the Death God bloodline.
After Grandmaster-level Necromancy, one can directly advance to the Demigod level, skipping an entire stage compared to other academic skills.
It seems very profitable.
But in reality, the effort players put in is not reduced at all. The difficulty of advancing to the Demigod level and the subsequent upgrade difficulty are several times higher than other academic skills.
Usually, the difficulty of reaching the final God-level in this kind of academic skill is even higher.
Fang Heng had heard that Sacred Studies was also the same, lacking a Transcendent level, directly advancing from Grandmaster level to Demigod level.
Of course, although there is no corresponding academic stage, most people still divide the level of ability based on personal strength.
For example, Demigod-level Necromancy LV:1-20 is generally considered by players to still possess Transcendent-level strength, not yet reaching the Demigod level.
Good!
Transcendent-level skill advancement book in hand!
It was much simpler than expected.
Currently, the experience points of Sealing Studies are far from reaching the standard for advancing to the Transcendent level, so it cannot be used.
Thinking, Fang Heng stuffed the skill book back into his backpack and looked up again.
The barrier leading to the next trial passage had already been opened.
There's more?
Fang Heng's heart stirred.
If it continues...
Could it be possible to get a skill book for advancing to the Demigod level?
Thinking of Mo Jianghe's verbal reminder before entering the assessment trial, Fang Heng felt it was very likely.
Then continue!
Now that there is still strength, then continue to move forward and see the situation!
As Fang Heng once again stepped into the subsequent new rock cave trial, the atmosphere in the entire examination hall also became tense again.
Who would have thought that Fang Heng would easily step into the final stage of the trial!
These trials were prepared for Sealing Studies scholars who are about to enter the Demigod level.
The difficulty is extremely high!
And unlike the early stages, the sealed objects in the final stage are extremely dangerous. Carelessness could lead to losing one's life.
Yet, Fang Heng is currently only at the newly advanced Master level in Sealing Studies.
What if he had some strange methods?
Fang Heng passed through the cave again.
Now that he's here, he will naturally go as far as he can.
It would be best to learn God-level Sealing Studies as well.
【Prompt: Player has entered the twelfth stage of the assessment】.
【Prompt: The current stage of the assessment has a time limit. Please seal all creatures in the assessment area within twelve hours to complete the assessment. Failure to complete the assessment task after the countdown ends will result in default assessment failure】.
Inside the rock cave.
Fang Heng stared at a large lake in front of him.
This trial has a time limit.
Moreover, the cave terrain is more than ten times larger than before.
The central area is occupied by a large lake.
It seems that the monsters to be sealed this time live in the water?
At least for now, no danger can be seen with the naked eye.
Fang Heng slowly approached the water surface, while releasing his perception outwards.
Vampire special ability, Blood Qi fluctuation perception!
What!?
Fang Heng's pupils suddenly shrank.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
The next moment, densely packed thousands of tiny fish-like creatures leaped out of the lake!
Thousand Needle Fish!
Information about this creature immediately appeared in Fang Heng's mind.
A special fish-like creature that is accustomed to living in groups in lakes, generally small in size.
The Thousand Needle Fish floats on the lake surface in a very strange way, with dense, poisonous barbs overflowing from its body, flying towards Fang Heng!
Poison needle attack!
The dense poisonous needles formed a large area in the air, almost sealing off all angles of Fang Heng's escape.
"Damn it!"
Fang Heng hurriedly dodged backwards, while quickly thinking of countermeasures.
This level can no longer use the old tactics from the previous level.
It's not that he can't beat them, but he doesn't dare to fight.
There are a large number of Thousand Needle Fish, and they generally have extremely high attack strength and meager blood volume.
Carelessly, the Thousand Needle Fish will be killed.
Killing one, according to the rules, the assessment trial will be immediately declared a failure.
Dealing with one Thousand Needle Fish is fine, dealing with a hundred can barely be imagined, but right now there are so many Thousand Needle Fish gathered, there are at least tens of thousands in the entire lake.
Whoosh!
Fang Heng quickly retreated, avoiding most of the Thousand Needle Fish's attack range, and completely leaving the lake far away.
【Prompt: Player is affected by the Thousand Needle Fish poison needle sting effect, player takes 1882 damage, player is affected by the potent poison effect...】.
Immediately, a dense row of damage numbers appeared.
Thank goodness.
Fang Heng quickly glanced at the game prompts.
The damage of each needle sting is about 1300-1900, and it can also add a potent poison effect.
The potent poison effect deals 500 points of defense-ignoring damage per second, and can be continuously stacked, but it can still be dispelled by the Undead Body passive.
Although dozens of Thousand Needle Fish poison needles were left on his body, for the powerful Undead Body effect, this damage is just superficial. There is no fluctuation in health at all.
The Thousand Needle Fish have a limited attack range. Seeing Fang Heng leave the lake area, they gradually disappeared into the lake surface.
In the examination hall, a group of examiners finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Fang Heng safely return.
The early assessments fully considered the safety of the candidates. The selection of many creatures avoided highly dangerous creatures with strong aggression.
The final stage of the exam is different, with great dangers.
Thinking carefully, they were just overly concerned.
With the strength Fang Heng used to beat his way through the early stages, he shouldn't be instantly killed by the Thousand Needle Fish.
However, the trick Fang Heng used in the past is ineffective against the Thousand Needle Fish.
What is he going to do now?
The examiners looked at Fang Heng in the mirror, and couldn't help but become curious.
