Chapter 5: Killing a Lord-Level Monster, Ten Times the Drop Rate!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The teachers outside quickly discovered that there were more than 300 people left in the mystic realm. They all gathered toward Lu Benwei.

Immediately, the teachers frowned.

“Lu Benwei, it’s dangerous.”

“What are these people trying to do? Are they trying to surround their classmate?”

“According to the rules of the mystic realm, even if it’s a mystic realm assessment, killing each other is allowed. Once you kill a person, you’ll obtain all that person’s points.”

“Alas, the boy is still too high-profile. I just hope he realizes the danger in time and retreats to the safety zone.”

Just as everyone was worried about Lu Benwei’s situation, a teacher suddenly said, “I’m afraid he can’t retreat even if he wants to now.”

The other teachers looked over and subconsciously gasped.

“Damn! Three zombie dogs? Why would they appear in the mystic realm?”

“Oh my god! Three level 10 Cerberus! And they’re at lord level 10! Principal, I propose to terminate this assessment immediately!”

“I also agree to terminate the assessment. Immediately open the mystic realm’s level restriction and let us go in to bring the students out!”

The faces of the teachers changed drastically.

In addition to levels, the strength evaluation of monsters would also be divided into six levels according to the characteristics of monsters of the same level.

Generally speaking, the assessment mystic realm that first awakened students entered would not have any monsters above level five.

Now, a level 10 monster lord had appeared. To a group of level two and three students, this was simply a disaster.

However, the students in the mystic realm were all approaching Lu Benwei’s position because of their greed. If all of them rushed over, would they not become these three dogs’ food?

The mystic realm assessment usually had a level restriction. Once it was opened, teachers were unable to enter with their level. Once the level restriction was removed, it meant that the assessment had to end.

However, the teachers could not care less now. If they did not stop, all the students in this batch of Green Spirit City High School would die.

In the face of the agitated teachers, the old principal was calm. He swept his gaze across the teachers and said faintly, “Look carefully. This Cerberus is already injured. Its strength is less than ten percent. It only has the combat strength of about level eight. Student Lu Benwei is already level seven, so it’s not completely impossible for him to win.”

“And have you thought about it? The distribution of monsters in the mystic realm is higher the deeper you go. How many levels 6 and 7 monsters have Lu Benwei encountered along the way here? Do you think he has any difficulty dealing with them?”

“Why are there so many little monsters in those famous high schools who can reach level 10 after awakening every year, while there are very few in our Green Spirit City High School who can even reach level five? It’s because our mystic realm assessment is too gentle.”

“It took me a long time to get the higher-ups to send three Cerberus into the mystic realm. Don’t ruin my plan.”

The old principal’s words made many teachers look at each other.

This was not an accident, but a deliberate act by the old principal?

However, even if the strength of the Cerberus was greatly reduced, Lu Benwei was only at level seven. If he could not defeat this thing, not only would the principal lose a genius, but he would also lose the 300-odd students who had swarmed over from behind. They would all be in danger.

Everyone was torn.

At this moment, the old principal spoke again, “What if… he succeeds?”

‘Yes?’

‘Right. What if it works?’

What that meant was obvious!

The teachers stared at Lu Benwei’s figure in the holographic projection, and something called hope gradually ignited in their eyes.

At this moment, Lu Benwei was completely unaware of the old principal’s scheme, nor did he know that the other students were all approaching him.

Recognizing the Cerberus in front of him made him feel vaguely excited.

With the [Barbarian Bloodline] and [Minor Healing] enhanced by the system, even if this Cerberus was at its peak, he would not be afraid at all, not to mention that the other party was injured.

This was a monster lord. According to tradition, monsters above the lord level would drop other items besides experience and gold coins after killing them.

Unfortunately, along the way today, all he encountered were ordinary monsters.

He did not expect to encounter a monster lord now. If he killed it, coupled with the ten times drop rate of the system, how many good things would he obtain?

The only difficulty was probably that this monster’s body was too tough, so he had to stab it a few more times?

Yes, as a supporter, Lu Benwei’s attack strength was very low. It was at least half the attack of other classes of the same level.

The iron sword in his hand was only an ordinary weapon and did not have any attack bonuses.

As his level increased, the strength of the monsters increased, and the speed at which he killed them slowed down.

Even if this level 10 lord-level Cerberus was injured, he would probably have to spend a lot of effort to take it down.

“Try to resolve it before the assessment ends. Otherwise, it will be a huge loss if we can’t get the drop rate reward because the assessment ends.”

Lu Benwei narrowed his eyes and took the lead to attack the Cerberus.

Of course, before attacking, he first added a [Minor Healing] to his shield.

After all, the [Barbarian Bloodline] would only be triggered after being attacked. With his current health as a mere level seven student, it would be troublesome if he was instantly killed by the Cerberus.

The battle process was not complicated, but it was unusually difficult.

Although under the high shield, Lu Benwei did not have to worry about being injured.

However, even if these three Cerberus were injured, their health bars were too high. With Lu Benwei’s damage, he could only reduce their health a little each time.

Moreover, Lu Benwei was only a level seven newbie. Coupled with the fact that he had been fighting previously, his stamina was extremely exhausted.

Halfway through the battle, he was so exhausted that he could barely hold his iron sword.

In the end, Lu Benwei even forgot that he was fighting. He just swung his iron sword mechanically and slashed at the three Cerberus again and again.

“Awoo…”

Finally, with an indignant wail, the three Cerberus collapsed.

The iron sword in his hand seemed to have completed its mission and broke into two.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Three columns of light rose from Lu Benwei.

The upgrade had refreshed the status.

The fatigue from the battle was swept away, and Lu Benwei immediately felt refreshed.

At the same time, the system’s voice sounded in his head.

[Ding! Congratulations on killing level 10 lord-level monster, Cerberus. You have received 10 times the experience and 10 times the gold coins!]

[You’ve reached level 10!]

[10 times drop rate triggered. You have obtained the Heavenly Dog Sword x1, Skill Scroll: Heavenly Dog’s Fury x1]

At the same time, the effects of [Heavenly Dog Sword] and [Heavenly Dog’s Fury] unfolded in front of him.

[Heavenly Dog Sword]

Weapon

Quality: Normal

Level: 10

Attack Power: +15

Special Feature: Additional fire attribute damage when attacking. There is a five percent chance of causing a burning effect that lasts for 10 seconds.

[Heavenly Dog’s Fury]

Skill Scroll

Quality: Rare

Level: 10

Effect: After use, all attributes within 30 seconds increase by 20% (can be used on oneself or selected targets). Cool down: 45 seconds.

…

“Holy shit! Awesome!”

After looking at the attributes of the two items, Lu Benwei was left with the word “awesome.”

According to the classification of items, they could be divided into ordinary, advanced, rare, legendary, epic, and mythical.

Although the quality of the [Heavenly Dog Sword] was only ordinary, and its attack power was also average, just the attribute attack was enough to surpass most rare-quality weapons of the same level. Moreover, it had a five percent chance of causing a burning effect. This was simply an early-stage divine weapon.

As for the skill [Heavenly Dog’s Fury], it sounded like a warrior’s skill, but in fact, it was a support divine skill. As it had a percentage bonus, it meant that it would be more useful in the later stages.

If he could get a few more items with reduced cooldown later, he could even achieve a full enhancement.

It just so happened that he had reached level 10 now. Be it a sword or a scroll, he could use them directly.

In the next second, Lu Benwei had already torn open the scroll and learned [Heavenly Dog’s Fury].

After all, not only could this skill boost others, but it could also boost himself. Coupled with the attribute attack of the [Heavenly Dog Sword], it could be considered as making up for his current shortcoming of insufficient damage.

Afterward, he waved his sleeve and left without a trace.

He was prepared to continue searching for monsters to level up.

However, he did not get far before he realized that he had unknowingly been surrounded.

The people surrounding him were the students who had entered the mystic realm with him!
