The sweat is mine, but the numbers are all theirs.

After a burst of purple light, a piece of equipment caught Lu Yuan's eye, making his eyes light up.

【Thunder Bead】

【Star Rank: ★★★★】

[Link Requirements: Mage, possessing lightning attribute]

[Effect: This ability concentrates all lightning-attribute power into a single point and compresses it continuously, increasing the damage of this attack by 50%.]

Fortunately, Sylvia possesses the power to shatter lightning, allowing her to merge into the Duel Spear. This is only a four-star weapon, and it has already been upgraded so many times, so bearing the weight is not a problem.

As for the link restrictions? Go tell Dark Fusion what you want to say.

The second is to enhance the spirit fruit.

[Power Fruit: Consuming it increases strength (Note: The higher your strength attribute, the weaker the effect.)]

Although it's not as rare and precious as the Mind-Eye Fruit, it can directly increase the strength attribute, which is still pretty good.

If we put them out for sale, they would be snapped up, especially now that it's during the provincial competition.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan wanted to give the Power Source Fruit to Sevia, but for some reason, he had a feeling of unease.

Turning around, he saw Xingzhu smiling at him. "What's wrong, Summoner?"

"No, it's nothing."

Am I mistaken?

Lu Yuan muttered to himself as he turned around, and there it was again, and this time it was even more obvious.

He silently gave the Power Fruit to Xingzhu, and upon closer reflection, realized that she was the one who killed the Bone Knife Skeleton.

It's really wrong of me to give Sevier equipment and then offer her spirit fruit as well.

Moreover, Sevia can continuously incorporate equipment enhancements, so her attribute improvement will not be slow in the future. On the other hand, while Star Candle can corrode life and turn it into essence, it requires time to digest.

Only now have I digested the essence of the Mighty Vajra, gaining 6 points of strength, 6 points of constitution, and 3 points of agility.

It seems to have high growth potential and a long-term outlook, but in the short term it certainly can't compare to the Sevier Fusion Equipment.

Giving it to her would be the most appropriate choice.

Lu Yuan reflected on himself, realizing that he had been focusing too much on Sevia.

"I knew it, the Summoner hadn't forgotten me!" Xingzhu happily grabbed Lu Yuan's wrist and then started eating.

"Can't you carry it yourself?"

"Oops, I just fought the boss of the Double Challenge and I got hurt."

Lu Yuan remained silent for a while, then said, "That's not right. I remember you killed it in one hit?"

"It's too hard, it hurts my hands from typing."

As he spoke, Xingzhu finished eating the Power Fruit, and his strength immediately increased by 15 points.

Everything was over, and Lu Yuan exited the instance.

[Reminder: Lu Yuan, student ID 08965, a trainee in Tianyun City, has completed the second challenge mission. The Bloodbone Forest will no longer be open.]

As the sound echoed throughout the hall, many people looked at the line of words, somewhat shocked.

"This must be the fifth challenge dungeon that Lu Yuan has cleared already, right?"

"That's outrageous. He didn't even stop for a moment, going in and out again."

"His previous four challenge dungeons took less than an hour to complete in total. I thought he was going to fail this time, but it turns out he encountered a double challenge!"

"You guys make him sound so amazing, but I've never heard of him before."

A new person who had just arrived in the lobby asked.

"Didn't you watch the provincial tournament yesterday? He came in first place in the elimination rounds, defeating two hidden classes to kill the special boss. That spider woman summon was incredibly strong!"

Ignoring the gazes around him, Lu Yuan spotted a somewhat familiar face not far away.

Yunfeng, a storefront in Yunlong City.

Upon noticing Lu Yuan's gaze, he immediately lowered his head; the Spider Woman had left him with a deep psychological scar.

He still can't understand why he suddenly wanted to die; it was too bizarre.

I couldn't sleep all night after I got back.

Lu Yuan didn't pay attention, but paused briefly on Yunfeng because he had seen it before.

"I want to enter the level 37 open dungeon."

"Please wait a moment," the clerk said, and quickly found the corresponding traction stone from the back wall cabinet.

Although Lu Yuan also wanted to enter higher-level dungeons, with Xingzhu and Sevia's current strength, it wouldn't be a problem.

But that requires access permissions.

Previously, this wasn't necessary, but for some unknown reason, about six months ago, the control over instances became increasingly strict.

……

For the next two days, Lu Yuan spent his time in the dungeon. After Sevia finished her battle, it was his turn to fight, and the cycle repeated.

He didn't return to the hotel until the final was tomorrow.

The level has already reached 38.

Unfortunately, there are too few monsters in public dungeons, and the process of finding them takes a lot of time, so the efficiency is naturally slow.

However, the gains were quite substantial. After absorbing the essence of the Bone Knife Skeleton, Xingzhu's strength increased by 14 points, constitution by 13, agility by 11, and spirit by 8.

That adds up to 34 points, which is almost as much as the boost from a five-star piece of equipment.

Lu Yuan also noticed a pattern in the improvement from absorbing essence: it was linked to the target of corrosion.

The stronger the force, the more essence is extracted from the corrosion, and the greater the increase in power.

Currently, Xingzhu's attributes have reached 1194 Strength, 1178 Constitution, 1173 Agility, and 1197 Spirit.

Her growth potential, based on the evolution of her life force, is 122, which is still quite supermodel-like.

Even among hidden professions, few can compare to her.

Sevia, on the other hand, has 997 Strength, 1020 Constitution, 1020 Agility, and 920 Spirit.

Thanks to Lu Yuan's tireless efforts over the past two days, putting in more sweat than others have done over several months, his growth potential has successfully reached 80 points.

It's just one step away from evolving.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan felt his life force recover somewhat and sighed.

Fine, I'll just have to suffer a little longer!

fighting!

The sky darkened and the earth went dark, but Lu Yuan still failed.

It seems that Sevia will be unable to evolve before the finals.

He shook his head, preparing to go to the toilet and then lie down to sleep, as he really couldn't take it anymore.

But as soon as he entered the living room, he felt the atmosphere was a bit cold.

"Summon, one".

A faint voice came from behind.

Xingzhu smiled as she looked at Lu Yuan.

I have never seen anger or other negative emotions appear on her face, nor has she ever lost her composure.

She seemed to only show her smile to Lu Yuan.

"Where has my power of evolution gone?"

Lu Yuan: "...That's all."

"No, impossible." The silver-haired girl laughed, "The Summoner will definitely leave some for me, even if it's just a little bit."

Lu Yuan was sweating profusely and wanted to say something, but he was directly suppressed.

Time passed little by little.

After Lu Yuan returned to the living room, he collapsed weakly onto the sofa, not even wanting to open his eyes. He had only one thought in his mind.

The right to life has truly caused him immense suffering!

At this moment, the silver-haired girl also came over and, like a kitten, curled up contentedly on Lu Yuan's chest and fell asleep.

She used to drink some water every night before bed, but not tonight.

The steaming hot water on the table had long since cooled down, but it hadn't decreased at all.
