Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 194 Treasure Dragon Mystic Heaven Trial Token

Lu Chao was enjoying the fun brought by the random equipment. With the Bloodthirster, his survivability was greatly enhanced, and he fully realized the truth that you can only deal damage if you can stay alive.

After that, just like going through the process, the gold coin challenge continued. Lu Chaoding and Lingqi Guo's defense was particularly smooth. By the time they reached the fifth wave, Lu Chaoding and Lingqi Guo had both leveled up to level 10.

This triggers the upgrade setting.

Advancing requires spiritual energy, and the first advancement requires 100 points of spiritual energy.

Spiritual energy is a shared resource, and at this point, Lu Chao and his team had only managed to generate 120 points of spiritual energy.

"Master Ling, I am the commander-in-chief, let me level up first!"

Lu Chao roared and then used 100 points of spiritual energy to upgrade his character.

With a ding, Lu Chaoding transformed from a "Little Tiger" into a "Big Tiger," significantly boosting his base attributes and increasing the power of his "Critical Strike" skill. He also gained a random second skill, "Tiger's Roar."

The [Tiger's Roar] skill is an active skill that increases the attack of allies within a certain range while decreasing the attack of enemies within the same range. It has a cooldown of only 10 seconds.

"That skill is pretty good. This defense game is quite interesting, it mainly relies on randomness, which is fun!"

Lu Chaoding sighed silently, realizing he was gaining more and more experience in this defensive game.

Soon, his spiritual energy accumulated to 100, and his spiritual energy fruit also upgraded. He upgraded from [Toad] to [Golden Toad], and his second skill randomly became [Resilient Aura], which slightly increased the defense and health regeneration speed of nearby allies.

In addition, his role has changed from "support" to "damage dealer". He can launch golden light balls to attack monsters, greatly increasing his attack power. His damage output is more than twice that of Lu Chaoding, the commander. He can basically kill a monster in one go, just like mowing grass, which Lu Chaoding is very envious of.

Lingqi Fruit was also very excited, saying, "This golden toad is pretty good, Sect Leader, you should start the challenge! My damage output is decent, let's challenge the BOSS!"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Lu Chaoding then began to challenge the equipment monsters, successfully defending against several waves, but the equipment he obtained was all terrible, and Lu Chaoding even felt that he had lost out.

By the ninth wave, Lu Chao had reached level 19. He took out 1,000 gold coins and challenged the experience monster for the first time.

Then, thirty Flying Ducks flew out of the monster spawn point.

These thirty flying ducks are chubby and fly very slowly. They have big heads and small eyes, and they look quite adorable.

Lu Chaoding was a melee fighter, and could only watch helplessly as he saw these Flying Ducks. Lingqi Guo immediately launched an attack on them, killing one with each blow. He quickly killed all 30 Flying Ducks, and each Flying Duck dropped an experience book.

"Master Ling, your damage output is really impressive!"

Lu Chaoding sighed.

The Spirit Fruit was delighted, exclaiming, "Exciting! Refreshing!"

Lu Chaoding then asked, "How will the experience books be distributed?"

"Let's split it in half!"

"light and spacious!"

Lu Chao didn't stand on ceremony and quickly collected ten experience books. After using five of them, his level increased to level 20.

At this point, Lu Chaoding can advance to the next level.

This upgrade requires 200 points of spiritual energy.

The same applies to the Spirit Fruit.

However, at this time, Lu Chao and his companions only had 320 points of spiritual energy left, enough for just one person to advance to the next level.

The Spirit Fruit said, "Sect Leader, let me advance first! My damage output is high!"

"Alright!"

Lu Chao nodded. His current defensive role was a bit like a slacker; he couldn't really withstand much damage and relied entirely on attacking to survive.

However, after the Spirit Fruit was upgraded this time, it actually became the Jade Spirit Toad. Its role changed from "damage dealer" to support. Its health was greatly increased, but its attack power and attack speed were greatly reduced. Its third skill was activated, which was randomly selected as the Jade Toad Force. The effect of this skill is to allow teammates to be resurrected.

Immediately, the output of the Spirit Fruit became very ordinary again, even worse than before it was upgraded.

"Holy crap, what kind of crazy setting is this? This is ridiculous! How did a perfectly good fighter become a support?" Spirit Fruit was very unhappy and shouted, "Sect Leader, if we fail in the final wave, don't blame me! It's the system that's so unreliable!"

"That's the fun of the game! Actually, your [Jade Toad] is quite powerful; reviving teammates is an absolute godsend, it's just a pity it doesn't suit me!"

Listening to Lingqi Guo's "vivid" words, Lu Chaoding felt that he had grown extremely fast. If he didn't know Lingqi Guo's background, he would probably believe that he was an alien player.

Soon, the final tenth wave of monsters appeared, consisting of 30 level 20 mountain demons with impressive stats. Lu Chao was killed by the tenth one.

"It's all over, all our efforts have been in vain!"

Lu Chao said dejectedly, kneeling on the ground as if he had been defeated in the battle.

"Don't give up! You have enough spiritual energy, hurry up and advance!"

Ling Qiguo roared and used the Jade Toad Force to revive Lu Chao, but he himself was killed by the swarming mountain demons.

Lu Chaoding glanced at the resource panel and saw that his spiritual energy had just reached 201 points. He had given up hope of passing the level, but he still quickly consumed 200 points of spiritual energy to advance to the next level.

"Ding! You have been promoted to the rare species [Sang Biao], with the defensive role of 'Thug'!"

"Ding, the third skill slot is now open. The random skill is [Extreme Brutality]. The skill effect is a short-term increase in attack speed, as well as the gain of lifesteal attack, split attack, and 15% damage immunity."

Accompanied by a crisp system notification, a flash of light appeared on Lu Chao's body, and a black, lizard-like, and extremely ferocious black tiger phantom appeared behind him.

"Hmm? A rare species?"

Lu Chaoding didn't have time to think. Facing the gathering mountain demons, he immediately used his third skill. His body shone brightly, and the black tiger phantom behind him jumped out and immediately attacked the gathering mountain demons. His attack speed was extremely fast, and his appearance was very ferocious. He actually killed all the mountain demons, and even tore them to pieces. In the end, Lu Chaoding's level increased to level 25.

"Ding! All monsters defeated. Current defense complete. The final boss will appear in one minute. Please prepare for defense."

"Ding! Defense mission issued. Defeat the final boss to receive a completion treasure chest!"

"Ding! The occasionally unreliable system has activated, updating the tracking mission with altered content: Defeat the final BOSS, reward: Unreliable completion treasure chest x1!"

"The restless and unreliable system has finally appeared, tampering with an unreliable level-clearing treasure chest? How unreliable can it be?"

Lu Chao muttered something under his breath.

At this moment, the Spirit Fruit revived.

He looked at Lu Chaoding with envy and said, "This advancement is too brutal!"

Lu Chao retorted, "Of three tiger cubs, one will surely be a monstrous one. This 'Dead Beast' is the monstrous of monstrous cubs—exciting!"

Soon, the final boss appeared, which turned out to be just a giant level 30 groundhog, as big as an African elephant, with a full 20,000 health points.

Lu Chao was not afraid at all. As the BOSS approached, he immediately activated [Extreme Brutality] and fought it head-on.

Lu Chao was quickly killed, but the Spirit Fruit behind him used the Jade Toad Force to pull him up again.

Finally, with only a sliver of health left on his second life, Lu Chao killed the giant groundhog, and two huge golden characters appeared in the sky: "Victory!"

"Ding! Congratulations on passing the Dragon Trial (Difficulty 1)."

"Ding! You have completed the [Trial of Difficulty 1] and your Treasure Dragon Technique has been upgraded to the beginner level. Your character has gained the following attribute bonuses: 10000 HP, 1000 Attack Power, 100 Defense, 10 Resilience, and 1 Speed."

"Ding! The Treasure Dragon Trial (Difficulty 2) has been unlocked. Completing the Treasure Dragon Trial (Difficulty 2) will raise your Treasure Dragon Technique level to Proficiency."

"Ding! The Treasure Dragon Technique has been upgraded to Proficiency, which can provide more attribute bonuses and strange abilities. Please explore on your own for details."

"Ding! Number of players allowed to team up increased by 1!"

"Ding! The final boss has been defeated, the trial is complete, and the mission is finished. All players who participated in the defense have received a treasure chest."

After the system notification ended, two golden treasure chests appeared near Lu Chaoding and the Spirit Fruit.

It's obvious that those are the rewards for completing the level; each person gets one, and their name is marked on it.

But the treasure chest marked with the eight large characters "Lu Chaoding's Clearance Treasure Chest" suddenly flashed with light, doubled in size, and the text above it changed: "Lu Chaoding's Unreliable Clearance Treasure Chest!"

Lu Chao narrowed his eyes and said to the Spirit Fruit beside him, "Master Ling, why don't you go and open the treasure chest first?"

"good!"

Lingqiguo hopped forward, opened the treasure chest lid, and immediately a golden ball of light emerged from it.

Lu Chao looked over curiously and saw the attribute information of the light sphere.

[Save Item - Jade Spirit Toad: After activation, the item will definitely become a Jade Spirit Toad upon its second upgrade, gaining the "Jade Toad Strength" skill. The effect of this item can be manually turned off; please check the Treasure Dragon Trial interface for details.]

"This is the thing I got."

The spirit fruit seemed rather dissatisfied; he turned to Lu Chao and said, "Sect Leader, let's see how lucky you are!"

Lu Chao retorted, "I'm not bragging, but the items I, the sect leader, open are absolutely extraordinary."

After saying that, he stepped forward and opened the unreliable level-clearing treasure chest. Immediately, a golden token flew out.

[Treasure Dragon Mystic Heaven Trial Token: A special item and accessory. Equipping this accessory unlocks the Treasure Dragon Mystic Heaven interface and allows you to participate in the Treasure Dragon Trial defense game. Please explore for details.]

"What's this?" Lu Chao squinted.

He had already activated the Treasure Dragon Profound Heaven interface, and could smoothly participate in the Treasure Dragon Trial Defense Game without equipping the Treasure Dragon Profound Heaven Trial Token. To him, the token was superfluous.

"As expected, it's an unreliable prop, but..."

Lu Chao's eyes lit up.

The 【Precious Dragon Mystic Heaven Trial Token】is a non-bound item that can be traded, which means that multiple of these items can be obtained in the quest hall.

"If I distribute these tokens, all players who receive them can play a defense mini-game. Wouldn't that be equivalent to publishing a game?"

Lu Chao's face lit up with joy, but he quickly frowned and muttered, "What does this mean to me? At most, it's just providing players with a form of entertainment. What do I get in return? Wholesale and retail these tokens? How much can I make then?"

Upon reflection, Lu Chaoding immediately realized that the [Precious Dragon Profound Heaven Trial Token] was utterly useless.

At this moment, the space changed, and Lu Chaoding and the Spirit Fruit were teleported out of Baolong Xuantian together.

Lingqi Guo asked, "Sect Leader, shall we continue playing?"

"Let's play! This time, let's invite Chef Niu! No, wait a minute, I'll be right back!"

After Lu Chao finished speaking, he quickly left the cultivation cave. He soon found Zhang Defa and obtained more than a thousand [Precious Dragon Profound Heaven Trial Tokens] through him.

"Here's a token for you. Study it yourself!"

Lu Chaoding tossed down a [Precious Dragon Mystic Heaven Trial Token] and wanted to return to his cave to team up with Niu Daren and Lingqiguo to play a few more defense games.

Zhang Defa hurriedly said, "Brother Ding, please wait. A lot of evil gods, Dom, have appeared outside. Did you bring them here? Tsk tsk, many people have been bleeding from their gaze."

Lu Chao slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot to settle them in. Oh well, let them stay on the Sky Patrol Ship for now!"

As they were talking, Lu Chaoding had already left the mission hall. He quickly arrived at the mountain gate square and then led the hundred evil gods Dom onto his Heavenly-level Sky Patrol Ship.

"You can stay here for now. Don't wander off or look around. If we find a better place later..."

Lu Chao gave instructions to the 100 evil gods Dom, and then suddenly received a system notification: "Ding, Vice Sect Leader Hua Dashao has provided you with a modification plan for the True Disciple's costume."

"Um?"

Lu Chao was taken aback.

Modification plan for the costumes of true disciples!

"What exactly is Hua Dashao busy with? I wonder where he is. Is he busy working on sect fashions?"

Lu Chaoding shook his head.

He felt he had been careless before, and this sect leader seemed very unreliable.

When Lu Chaoding appointed Hua Dashao as the deputy sect leader, he wanted him to manage the sect so that he could be a hands-off leader and slack off. But now it seems that this deputy sect leader is elusive and has nowhere to be found. He seems to be doing nothing, but he is very enthusiastic about modifying the sect's costumes.

"I need a deputy sect leader, not a fashion designer!"

Lu Chaoding muttered something to himself, then opened the sect management panel to check the fashion modification proposal submitted by Hua Dashao for the true disciples.

Meanwhile, in the mission hall, Zhang Defa, equipped with the [Precious Dragon Mystic Heaven Trial Token], checked his character panel and asked, "What's the use of this accessory?"

Soon, Zhang Defa found the Baolong Xuantian Trial Panel.

This panel is similar to Lu Chaoding's "Baolongjue Cultivation Interface". There is an "Invite to Team" option. Zhang Defa clicked on this option out of curiosity and found that there were two players who could be invited to team up: one was "Lu Chaoding" and the other was "Alchemy Master Lingqi Guo".

"What the hell is this 'Alchemy Master's Spiritual Energy Fruit'?"

Zhang Defa was slightly curious. After thinking for a moment, he did not invite Lu Chaoding to team up, but instead invited the "Alchemy Master Lingqi Fruit"!

Immediately, in Lu Chaoding's private cave, the Spirit Fruit received a system notification: "Ding, player Zhang Defa invites you to participate in the Treasure Dragon Mystic Heaven Defense Game. Do you agree?"

"Huh? Who's Zhang Defa? He's inviting me to play a defense game?"

Lingqiguo looked puzzled. After thinking for a moment, he clicked "agree" and was suddenly transported back to the Xuan Tian World.

At the same time, Lu Chaoding received a system notification: "Ding, the Baolong Xuantian World has been activated, and the defense game is in preparation!"

"Ding! Defense game started. Your game completion record will affect your Treasure Dragon Technique level. Please explore for details."
