All players: Become a Dharma King, with unlimited skill stats.

They directly asked the shop assistant and bought an extra large number of energy crystals for incubation.

About half an hour later.

The pet egg has finally had enough energy.

And the ghostly dragon pet inside finally managed to hatch.

It was a semi-spiritual form about three meters tall, with a bluish-green body.

A humanoid form with hands and feet, similar to the Demon King.

But at the same time, it has dragon wings on its back and dragon horns on its head.

Its head and tail were burning with bluish-green flames.

While he certainly exuded a certain air of authority, it wasn't overwhelming. An Bai felt more of an eeriness and mystery, with an overall cold demeanor.

When a chill envelops you, it can't help but remind you of a corpse.

This is probably the characteristic of the Ghostly Dragon pet.

"Since you have such a cold demeanor, then I'll call you Cold."

Awooo~~~ (Cool, but pleasant to hear, Master!)

Having fulfilled the contract, An Bai understood the meaning behind the other party's call.

"Hmm, if you like it, then let's see what your abilities are like!"

"Where should I conduct the experiment? The dungeon lobby... Oh no, I'm out of money!"

An Bai originally wanted to take Leng Leng with him to run dungeons to familiarize himself with the skills.

But then I suddenly realized that I seemed to be out of money!

The money borrowed was just enough to cover the expenses, and the remaining meager amount was used entirely to buy energy crystals for incubation.

"Damn it! Looks like I don't even have the money to take the teleportation array back to Shangjiang City!"

An Bai slapped his forehead, muttering with a hint of exasperation.

Even a hero can be brought down by a penny!

"Borrowing again? Never mind, let's just walk back!"

An Bai made a tough decision and decided to walk all the way back to Shangjiang City from Jusen City.

Although the wilderness is dangerous, as long as you avoid high-level areas and instead traverse through maps of level 20 or 30, you don't need to worry too much about safety.

"There are still three days until the big exam, so there's plenty of time."

"It's a good opportunity for Leng Leng to level up along the way."

After making up his mind, An Bai immediately got up, went to the nearby trading market, and spent all of his more than 10,000 yuan to buy a large amount of nutrient solution to carry with him.

Finally, using his military identity, he purchased a precise and detailed map and downloaded it to his job panel's minimap.

After making preparations, An Bai immediately set off and left Jusen City.

Compared to the day I first arrived, the wilderness of Giant Forest City has now been unsealed, and professionals can return here to farm materials, making the wilderness lively again.

An Bai only released Leng Leng after he had left Jusen City and reached a secluded place.

Awooo—

It was probably her first time in the wild, and Leng Leng seemed quite excited.

As soon as it emerged, it soared into the sky, rapidly flapping its wings and tumbling up and down.

However, this quickly attracted the attention of wild monsters, including a lone Gale Wolf that started to approach.

"Perfect timing, Leng Leng, attack!"

An Bai finished speaking.

Leng Leng's expression also changed, and her eerie blue-green eyes locked onto the giant Gale Wolf.

The wolf suddenly stopped charging forward, its expression filled with terror.

Then his limbs went weak, as if he wanted to escape, but he couldn't move his legs, and he looked at the cold sky with trembling eyes.

"It is the natural power of the dragon."

"This demonic wolf is level 20, not particularly high, but to produce this effect with just level 1 Coldness, it's more powerful than I imagined!"

Taking advantage of the moment, Leng Leng unleashed her ghostly breath, the seemingly scorching but actually icy blue flames easily hitting her.

However, compared to its chilling and eerie aura, high health, and strong defense, its attack power is somewhat lacking.

With only 400 attack power, it can easily kill enemies up to level 5.

However, the Gale Wolf is already level 20, and even a regular monster can have 30,000 to 40,000 HP.

Moreover, its only offensive skill, Ghost Fire Breath, is a continuous attack with low burst damage.

The initial hit deals 200 damage, and subsequent hits per second only deal about 80 damage, which is about 20% of the attack power.

As expected, after realizing that the attack was weaker than expected, the Gale Wolf broke free from its fear and continued its attack in anger.

His cold gaze shifted again as he unleashed a ghostly curse.

This is a curse-type skill. When an enemy is hit, they fall into a weakened state, with all attributes reduced by 10%. At the same time, they will be haunted by ghosts. It will trigger once every ten seconds, randomly consuming 5% of one attribute or a buff effect.

The two sides began to engage in a back-and-forth struggle.

Because of her low level, Leng Leng couldn't defeat her opponent in a short time. Although the Gale Wolf's attacks always hit, Leng Leng's semi-spirit form made her immune to 60% of physical damage. Coupled with her strong defense, she didn't suffer much damage at all.

In about fifteen minutes, Leng Leng, relying on her relatively low attack power, managed to whittle down the Gale Wolf to near-death.

At this point, the Gale Wolf knew it couldn't continue fighting and decided to retreat. After deliberately missing its target during a lunge, it didn't turn back and continued to flee.

Awooo—!!! (Hmph, trying to escape?)

Then, Leng Leng used her last skill, Hunting Perception, to lock onto one of the enemies she had recently fought and obtain their movement traces, increasing her speed by 300% when moving towards the target.

This skill is perfect for chasing down a low-health Gale Wolf.

The high speed boost allowed Leng Leng to catch up with her opponent in an instant. After another five minutes of attrition, Leng Leng finally managed to solo kill this enemy who was 19 levels higher than her.

[Your mount has successfully killed a level 20 Giant Gale Wolf. You are currently at a level cap, and all experience points have been automatically allocated to your pet!]

[Congratulations! Your mount Leng Leng has leveled up to level 3, currently at 77% experience!]

"Not bad, not bad!"

An Bai patted Leng Leng's head.

Although the battle took more than twenty minutes, he was still very satisfied.

This orange-tier immortal-grade pet has already demonstrated such strength at level 1, so its future growth will definitely be very strong!

Moreover, this is not even Leng Leng's optimal combat strength.

Leng Leng doesn't primarily rely on attacks, but rather on auxiliary functions like intimidation or ghost spells, as well as hunting and killing methods like hunting perception.

Leng Leng was at her strongest when she possessed herself.

After verifying Leng Leng's strength, An Bai felt at ease letting Leng Leng grind monsters and level up on her own in the surrounding area.

An Bai, on the other hand, opened his profession panel while traveling towards Shangjiang City.

After reaching level 20, there are still two affixes I haven't had time to extract.

This includes your own advanced tasks.

Because he knew that the advanced quests were all related to the Abyss, and he wouldn't have the chance to go there for a while, he wasn't in a hurry. Besides the Abyss, he could prepare some materials in advance.

[Your current class is a Basic Spell Apprentice. There is no corresponding advanced class. There is a very small chance that your class will change after completing the advancement quest. Otherwise, you will remain a Basic Spell Apprentice. Confirm to proceed with the quest?]

"Yes."
