The thought flickered through Lin Moyu’s mind before he quickly dismissed it. The boss before him clearly wasn’t the Tetrawing Bull King—it only bore a slight resemblance. It had a bull’s head, walked upright like a human, and gripped a long spear. “It wouldn’t even need makeup to play the Tetrawing Bull King.” Lin Moyu muttered. As his undead army stepped onto the mountain pass, the Poison Rings beneath their feet took effect, immediately affecting the boss. A low growl rumbled from the creature as it awoke. At the same moment, Detection landed on it. [Kunlun Bull (enhanced boss)] [Skill: Mad Bull Reinforcement, Mad Bull Sweep] [Trait: 50% Damage Reduction, Greatly Enhanced Health, Greatly Enhanced Strength, Curse Resistance, Control Resistance] The level 58 boss with fewer than 400,000 total attributes was comparable to a lord rank or hell rank dungeon boss at the same level. Lin Moyu stared at its traits, momentarily speechless. With traits like those, even a level 85 world rank boss wouldn’t come close. This thing might as well be classified as world rank boss. While he marveled, his undead army had already charged. Lin Moyu cast his curse, but nothing happened. Not surprising, considering the boss’s resistance. No matter. Without the curse, it would just take a few more axe swings. Skeletal Berserk Warriors activated their skill, and crimson rays containing terrifying power rained down on the Kunlun Bull. It unleashed an earth-shaking roar that echoed through the mountain pass. One clash, and it was already severely wounded. Not because it was weak, but because the undead troops were simply too strong. Elemental Explosions detonated, arrows poured from above. The boss was on its last legs. One more round would end it. To Lin Moyu, a level 58 boss was no more than target practice. A sudden blast of light erupted from the bull, sending Skeletal Berserk Warriors flying. Its entire body gleamed brilliantly, the radiant light blocking even Elemental Explosion and arrows. Skill: Mad Bull Reinforcement! Lin Moyu felt its aura surge. “At least a 50% boost. It’s basically a level 60 world rank boss now.” “Great skill. Still useless.” The base attributes were simply too low. Even a 100% boost couldn’t close the gap. Under the glow, the boss’s wounds vanished. It roared again, spear spinning rapidly to form a light orb. Skill: Mad Bull Sweep Skeletal Berserk Warriors were smashed back one by one. It wasn’t brute strength that kept the enemies at bay, but the knockback effect of the boss’s skill. The Skeletal Berserk Warriors couldn’t even get close. Not just them—Elemental Explosions and arrows were deflected as well. Elemental Explosions kept going off, but none could break through the boss’s skill. This was the first time Lin Moyu had encountered such a skill. It was both offensive and defensive, with knockback effect to boot. And the Kunlun Bull showed no signs of stopping anytime soon. Lin Moyu frowned, “To kill it, I’ll need to interrupt its skill.” “Control skills don’t work. Only direct combat skills have a chance.” “A Knight’s Shield Bash, a Berserker’s Weapon Counter, an Assassin’s Counterstrike, those should work.” Annoying as it was, the skill didn’t truly threaten him. A flame ignited in his palm; Soul Blaze activated. With a shriek, the Kunlun Bull’s skill was instantly disrupted. Soul-type attacks were excellent for interrupting skills—nearly foolproof. This time was no exception. As the Kunlun Bull’s skill was interrupted, the skeletons surged forward. The assault resumed. This time, Lin Moyu didn’t give the boss a single opening. Under the furious barrage, the Kunlun Bull fell in less than twenty seconds. [Killed Kunlun Bull, EXP +5,800,000] [Obtained Bull Spear] [Obtained Bull Leather Armor] [Bull Spear: platinum-grade weapon, all attributes +2,500, increases the power of Berserker-type skills by 80%. Attached skill: Sweep.] [Sweep: attacks all enemies within a 5-meter radius for 30 seconds. During this period, most incoming damage is blocked, and resistance to control skill is raised to 50%.] [Bull Leather Armor, platinum-grade protective equipment, all attributes +1,200, all damage reduced by 20%.] Lin Moyu barely gave the two mediocre pieces of equipment a glance before stashing them away to sell later. As the Kunlun Bull collapsed, the hourglass in the sky froze. Lin Moyu looked up—less than one-tenth of the sand had fallen. About 40 minutes had passed. “At this pace, I should be able to get an excellent rating.” The hourglass dissolved into a stream of light and flowed into his body. He had been marked by the Kunlun Divine Palace dungeon. With his speed, he was confident. An excellent rating was all but guaranteed. Level grinding was his primary goal here. His EXP had risen by 3%. “At this rate, if I grind 24 hours straight, I can do 35 runs.” “One level per day—not bad.” “With less than six days remaining, I could realistically reach level 57.” He’d already calculated the EXP curve. After level 55, the required EXP would spike again—each level might take over two days. So level 57 was the best-case scenario. Lin Moyu's leveling speed had always been decent, but he had been held back by countless trivial matters. In truth, he hadn’t spent much time grinding levels on his own. Just as he was about to leave the dungeon, he suddenly noticed a small blade of grass sprouting from the ground behind the mountain pass. The blade shimmered with a soft, pure white light. He cast Detection. The spell shot forward and landed directly on the grass. [Kunlun Snow Grass: bonus reward from the Kunlun Divine Palace dungeon (early stage). Grants +1 level if used below level 80, +2 levels if used below level 70, and +3 levels if used below level 60.] A plant that could directly raise levels? That was unheard of. “There’s actually something this miraculous in the world?” Stunned, Lin Moyu rushed over and picked the Kunlun Snow Grass. “The Kunlun Divine Palace has existed for years, yet I’ve never heard of this grass before.” “It’s not like someone found it and kept it secret—more likely, no one’s ever obtained it before.” “Could it be that you have to solo the dungeon to get it?” For more chapters visıt 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽 He sifted through his memory. There had been one master who soloed this dungeon in the past, but he never mentioned finding the Kunlun Snow Grass. Then again, that master took over ten hours to slowly grind through it. Lin Moyu speculated that the bonus reward required two conditions: soloing the dungeon and achieving an excellent rating. “I wonder if I’ll get another bonus reward if I solo it again.” Lin Moyu didn’t use the grass immediately. In his view, anything that offered a reward so easily might come with hidden risks. Could this sudden level boost have side effects? Could it harm his future development? Cautious as ever, Lin Moyu decided to wait. He would consult Antares before using it. A few extra levels weren’t worth risking long-term progress. Stowing the Kunlun Snow Grass safely, he exited the dungeon. But just moments later, he had already reset it, and stepped back inside.
