Chapter 632: 632 **Chapter 632: When the Strong Soldier Skill Can Be Permanent** The sword light exploded, creating a brilliant spectacle on the battlefield. Lin Moyu’s three iron giants were sent flying by the sword light, their seemingly sturdy iron bodies shattered like tofu. With just one strike, the three iron giants were nearly destroyed. Although there was only a two-level difference between level 90 and level 92, the strength gap was several times greater. Especially with the Skeleton King’s God-Slaying Slash, its power exceeded the limits of level 92. On the battlefield, numerous sword lights appeared, and countless enemies were instantly killed, cut in half by a single strike. As a collective force of 20 skeletons, combined with the [Strong Soldier] skill, it wasn’t at the god level, but it was enough to instantly kill any non-god level existence. The skill’s power was immense, so much so that these enemies couldn’t withstand it. The roar of explosions echoed. The Skeleton King moved extremely quickly, following the God-Slaying Slash with Elemental Chaos. They spared no effort in using their skills. No tactical arrangements were needed; just two skills were enough to instantly kill most enemies. The iron giants were completely shattered, dead beyond dead, and many enemies were also blown to pieces. The two Skeleton Kings charged into the enemy ranks, engaging in close combat. Their giant swords swung wide, sword energy sweeping across, cutting down countless enemies. Under the giant bone swords, no enemy could withstand a single strike. The headless knights also clashed with the enemies, their charge skill unleashing astonishing power, knocking enemies off their feet. Whether in the sky or on the ground, none were spared. The headless knights’ swords were equally sharp, cutting down enemies without hesitation. The skeleton berserkers followed closely, throwing out their berserk killing skills as soon as they arrived, aiming to kill as many enemies as possible in the first instance. The skeleton mages and skeleton archers also joined the fray. After reaching the legendary level, their attack range had become astonishingly large. Even Lin Moyu, their master, didn’t know their exact attack range. So far, no one had discovered their limits. Their Elemental Chaos was identical to that of the Skeleton King, only slightly less powerful. But with enough skeleton mages, the explosions were continuous. The skeleton archers’ soul shots were equally accurate. Although these enemies were created through some special means, they possessed something akin to souls for the sake of realism. It was as if each enemy was a real living being. Lin Moyu couldn’t help but marvel at the secret realm master’s extraordinary methods, far surpassing the use of puppets for assessments. Lin Moyu believed that the 100,000 warriors and three god-level beings were not the limits of the secret realm, nor the limits of the secret realm master. At most, they were the limits of the old man. As soon as the battle began, Lin Moyu’s side established an absolute advantage. The god-level Skeleton King, with its overwhelming power, instantly killed the three god-level iron giants with just two skills. Then it charged into the battlefield, starting a massacre. The headless knights also slaughtered their way through, riding their flaming bone horses, rampaging across the battlefield. They trampled enemies with their aura of frost, fire, lightning, and poison, inflicting severe damage even before engaging in combat. The storm aura significantly increased the headless knights’ movement speed, making their actions even faster and more unpredictable. The enemies, whether human, dragon, or demon, couldn’t withstand their onslaught. Lin Moyu noticed that although these enemies created by the secret realm had strong auras, they weren’t actually very powerful. Their skills were chaotic and disorganized. They had strength but didn’t know how to use it. "If I remember correctly, these should be the skills left behind by the three races who previously entered the assessment secret realm." "They were eliminated too early, so the skills left behind were pitifully few, some even without any skills." "The secret realm master merely imitated them, resulting in these mismatched beings." This assessment was too easy for Lin Moyu, not even as challenging as the previous one. The enemy that completely simulated Lin Moyu had indeed given him a headache. But now, Lin Moyu only needed to give one command, and the rest was handled by the undead army. The [Strong Soldier] skill worked exactly as he had imagined. As he continued to slaughter enemies, the duration of the [Strong Soldier] skill kept increasing, still active even after 30 seconds, without entering cooldown. In fact, whether it entered cooldown or not was no longer important. This assessment had turned into a one-sided massacre. It was only a matter of time before all the enemies were killed, and it wouldn’t take long. In less than ten minutes, the battle was over. Under the relentless slaughter of the undead army, the 100,000-strong enemy force was utterly annihilated, with no survivors. Lin Moyu looked up at the sky, his eyes sincere, appearing harmless. No one could tell that he was the master of the undead army, who had just slaughtered 100,000 enemies. Lin Moyu waited for the second round of assessment, but instead of another assessment, he was greeted by blood. The blood of the Source Bird, with its strong stench, fell from the sky, first dripping onto him. The previous scene repeated itself. Lin Moyu was slightly stunned, "Is the assessment over?" "Just one round and it’s over?" "Wasn’t the difficulty supposed to double?" He had thought there would be a second and third round. It seemed a bit too easy. But it was good that it was over; the longer it dragged on, the more complications could arise. All he wanted was the ’source skill,’ and getting it was enough. Thunder rumbled in the sky again, this time not just one rumble, but many. The old man didn’t appear, expressing his anger through the thunder. Whether Lin Moyu could understand it or not didn’t matter. Lin Moyu, drenched in blood, looked up at the sky and thought to himself, "Perhaps the rules prevent him from taking action personally." Lin Moyu knew very well that if the old man could take action personally, he would be dead for sure. The blood soaked his entire body, and the stench reached its peak. Then all the blood seeped into his body, leaving no trace on the surface. The laws within the blood flowed through his body, becoming a bridge between his soul and the [Source Rune]. The soul energy marked by Lin Moyu, driven by the power of the laws, surged towards the [Source Rune]. After receiving the laws from the Source Bird, the [Source Rune] was fully activated, presenting itself to Lin Moyu in its second form. A large "soldier" character appeared before Lin Moyu, floating in mid-air. Then drop after drop of blood fell from the sky, landing on the "soldier" character. Having experienced this once, Lin Moyu knew that this was the final step in transforming the [Source Rune] into a "source skill." The transformation required the blood of the Source Bird. Lin Moyu couldn’t help but marvel again at the secret realm master’s extraordinary methods. The thunder eventually stopped, and silence returned. Lin Moyu realized that the other party had likely given up. The rules of the secret realm were beyond his control. He might be able to make minor changes, but he couldn’t alter the overall situation. He could only watch as Lin Moyu obtained the second source skill. Soon, the skill star core formed from the "soldier" character appeared before him and then swiftly entered his soul world. His soul power surged again, pouring into the skill star core. However, due to the excessive consumption of soul energy earlier, even though his soul level had significantly increased after the feedback, the consumed soul energy was still gone. Despite the continuous recovery from divine power, it hadn’t fully recovered, only reaching about two-thirds of its peak. "I should have dragged out the assessment a bit longer." Lin Moyu realized he had acted too quickly. Perhaps he didn’t want to give the other party a chance to cause trouble, so he had killed swiftly and decisively. As a result, he now faced a shortage of soul energy. "I wonder what the fusion degree will be this time." "I can only do my best and leave the rest to fate." Lin Moyu was helpless; nothing in life is perfect, and he had to be content with what he had. He understood this principle, and his disappointment was fleeting, quickly replaced by clarity. As the emptiness in his soul grew, the skill star core stopped absorbing. Like the Gathering Power skill star core, the Strong Soldier skill star core began to spin rapidly. Due to the lack of soul energy, its spinning speed was slower than that of the Gathering Power skill star core. Other than that, everything else was the same. It also provided soul energy feedback, further enhancing Lin Moyu’s soul level. **[Strong Soldier (Fusion Degree 50%): Consume soul power to increase the base attributes of oneself and all summoned creatures by 200%, and all attacks deal an additional 500% damage. The attribute increase is only limited by the user’s soul level. While in the Strong Soldier state, killing enemies can harvest their souls, replenish one’s own soul consumption, and enhance one’s soul level.]** ---
