My career has infinite upgrades.

Chapter 102 Advancement Trial! Instant Kill! Sweep Across the Board! Mythical Rating!

hum!

The trial formation lit up with a large area of ​​dark red light, turning half of the hall dark red.

The light screen floating above the formation refreshed accordingly.

[Trial Participant: Gu Qing]

[Level: 20]

[Trial Difficulty: Hell Level]

[Highest rating obtainable upon completion: Mythical]

The freshmen who were just talking all fell silent.

Some people remained in the position of checking student cards, without making any move for a long time.

Several freshmen who had already reached level 20 but hesitated to register stared at the words "Hell Level" with frozen expressions.

They are still weighing the Hard and Nightmare difficulty levels.

Gu Qing didn't even try to test him; he directly chose the highest difficulty level.

The staff behind the registration desk also looked up and glanced at Gu Qing.

"Personal information is correct; submit registration?"

After checking the contents on the light screen, Gu Qing took off the student card.

"submit."

[Registration for the second-tier advancement dungeon is complete.]

[Trial participant Gu Qing, selected difficulty: Hell level.]

The public light screen in the center of the hall updated synchronously, with Gu Qing's name appearing at the top, followed by a line of striking dark red text.

[Highest Difficulty: Hell Level]

[Highest possible rating: Myth.]

The news spread quickly among the crowd.

Gu Qing put away the student card, her expression calm.

The next moment, the teleportation array enveloped Gu Qing's body, and Gu Qing's figure disappeared from the spot.

The feeling of weightlessness from the teleportation quickly subsided, and Gu Qing opened her eyes to find herself in a gray-black wasteland.

The surrounding ground was covered with cracks, as if it had undergone an extremely powerful attack.

At the far end of the line of sight ahead, all that could be seen were the swaying figures of monsters.

A notification light screen appeared in front of Gu Qing's eyes.

The second-tier advancement trial has begun.

[Trial Type: Secret Realm Trial]

[Current Trial Difficulty: Hell Level]

The final evaluation will be based on a combination of completion speed and battle completion rate, with the highest possible rating being Mythic.

[Note: The trial will not be broadcast to the public; feel free to unleash your full power.]

Gu Qing looked at the light screen in front of him and a smile appeared on his lips.

"If we don't broadcast it to the public, we can unleash our full power."

Gu Qing waved his right hand, and the undead space opened wide.

A dense necromantic power rapidly spread, and a large number of undead began to emerge.

More than six hundred undead enslaved by the undead, plus one hundred and fifty undead guards, forming an army of nearly a thousand undead, appeared, chilling and deadly.

The feeling swept over me.

It's a pity we can't use the Desert Undead Dragon, but it's enough for now.

Gu Qing waved his arm, and Bone Yi, at the forefront, led the undead army forward.

The undead not far ahead also spotted Gu Qing and his group and rushed over.

With a swing of his bone blade, the soul fire within his head flickered as he issued a command.

The undead behind instantly split into several teams and spread out their lines.

The entire undead army transformed into a well-defined military formation.

"Buzz!"

The Crown of the Dead in the Netherworld trembled, releasing a large amount of black light.

The aura of dominion instantly covered the entire area.

The soul fire in the eye sockets of all the undead intensified, and their strength and speed increased accordingly.

More than six hundred undead auras merged together, pressing down on the charging beast horde.

The monsters charging forward by sheer numbers turned into a suicide mission, crashing into the undead army.

The Ghost Flame Bone Dragon tore through the vanguard, and Bone One led the core undead to cut in along the gap.

Several undead teams flanked from the rear, dividing the monsters that charged into the formation into pieces and killing them one by one.

The first clash had barely begun when the tide of battle turned completely against them.

Inside the registration hall, the light spot representing Gu Qing's progress quickly passed through the starting area.

The first clearance marker then lit up.

A freshman looked up at the time, then looked down at his student ID card.

"How long has it been?"

The people around him did not respond.

They can only see the progress, not the battle scenes inside the secret realm.

But that newly lit marker already says it all.

On the wasteland, a high-ranking elite beast smashed through the undead in front of it and headed straight for Gu Qing.

It clearly recognized who was at the heart of the undead army.

Its sharp claws tore through the black mist and slammed heavily into Gu Qing's chest.

Gu Qing did not summon any of the dead.

The Dark Soul Armor appeared close to his body, taking the blow head-on.

boom!

A ripple spread across the surface of the Soul Armor, but there was no further reaction.

Gu Qing slightly opened his right hand, and dense necromancy condensed, rapidly forming the Netherworld Soul Scythe.

The elite monster tried to retreat, but the black scythe had already slashed into its neck from the side.

The Netherworld Soul Scythe ignores even the toughest leather armor, delivering soul damage directly into the body.

The monster froze, and the fierce light in its eyes quickly dimmed.

Gu Qing twisted his wrist, and the sickle continued to press in.

Its core shattered instantly, and its massive body collapsed to the ground.

"Undead Servants"

The power of the underworld spread out from Gu Qing's feet and seeped into the surrounding corpses.

The monsters that had just fallen opened their eyes one after another.

The corpse, dragging its wounds, rose again and turned to pounce on its former kind.

More undead forces spread out from behind, waking up the corpses that fell along the way.

The enemy's original reliance on numbers began to become Gu Qing's source of manpower.

The army advanced deeper into the wilderness.

Gu Yi kept adjusting the formation, sending the newly spawned undead minions to the front to wear them down.

The original core undead followed behind, specifically targeting and killing high-ranking monsters.

As one wave of monsters fell, another wave of undead soldiers appeared.

The number of the more than 600 dead has not decreased; in fact, it continues to grow.

On the progress light screen in the registration hall, the area markers went out one after another.

More and more new students are gathering in front of the light screen.

Some people squeezed to the front, repeatedly confirming the difficulty of Gu Qing's choice.

"That's right, it's Hell difficulty, but how could Hell difficulty be so easy?"

"Yeah, why are the area markers disappearing so quickly? Is there a display error?"

"Gu Qing lined up and killed all the monsters in the secret realm? Even if he's strong, surely he wouldn't go to such lengths to steal from them?"

No one could answer that.

Inside the secret realm, the monsters in the first area have begun to crumble.

Some of the monsters turned and fled into the depths of the wasteland, but after only a few steps, the undead flanking them from both sides cut off their retreat.

Blood and flesh lay scattered on the ground, while the remnants of souls that had not yet dissipated floated above the battlefield.

The ghostly power within Gu Qing's body was drawn in and began to operate automatically.

The remnants of souls did not dissipate, but instead converged on him.

Gu Qing raised his palm, and the power of the netherworld spread along the contract mark.

"The Ghostly Pact".

Powerful remnant souls hovered in mid-air before disappearing into the surging black mist.

The power of the underworld gathered at the rear of the army formation.

The remnant soul solidified again, donned a dark soul armor, and the flames of the soul ignited in its empty eye sockets.

The first batch of Hades Guardians have officially appeared.

They lacked the heaviness of physical undead; their figures swept across the battlefield, directly penetrating into the monsters ahead.

Several demons froze, their souls severely damaged, and were then slaughtered by Gu Yi and his army.

The Netherworld Guards quickly joined the ranks under Bone's command.

The corpses transformed into undead servants, and the remnants of souls coalesced into underworld guards.

Gu Qing's army grew larger and larger with each kill.

At the end of the first area, the last high-ranking gatekeeper monster finally appeared.

Just as it raised its head, the Ghost Flame Bone Dragon and Bone One pressed down from both sides simultaneously.

The Ghost Flame Bone Dragon bit its shoulder, while Bone used its bone blade to lock the other side.

The Underworld Guard penetrated the outer defenses and struck directly at the soul.

Just as the gatekeeper monsters were gathering their skills, Gu Yi had already led the undead army to complete the encirclement.

The bone blades fell simultaneously.

The nascent power collapsed on the spot, and the gatekeeper monster couldn't even unleash a complete attack before its massive body fell in the center of the army formation.

[First area cleared!]

[Monster eradication completion rate: 100%!]

[The speed of clearing the first area has broken the record for the Hell-level Trial area.]

A smile appeared on Gu Qing's face; the terror of the undead army was beginning to show.

Even if other freshmen teamed up with Zhu Xingtong, Zhu Miaolian, and Lin Qinghan, they definitely wouldn't be able to reach this speed.

Gu Qing checked the time; only five minutes had passed.

Sweep through the entire enemy ranks!

The teleportation portal fell from the sky, and Gu Qing's body instantly disappeared from the spot.

When Gu Qing opened her eyes again, she found herself in the second area.

The environment here is similar to the first area, but there are more monsters, and their quality has changed to a mix of dark gold and platinum.

The level range has been expanded from 15-20 to 20-25.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Qing raised the Netherworld Soul Scythe in his hand, and the undead army around him charged straight at him.

The monsters ahead were clearly highly intelligent; upon seeing so many undead, fear was evident in their eyes.

Unfortunately, they were trapped in a secret realm with no way to escape.

These monsters were clearly aware of their predicament, and with a roar, they charged towards Gu Qing's army of undead.

Bone immediately gave the order, and the undead split into two groups, directly surrounding the monsters in front.

The Ghost Flame Bone Dragon charged at the forefront, its massive bone wings sweeping across the front ranks and instantly knocking over several dark gold monsters.

Bone claws clashed repeatedly with the demon's claws, and several undead servants who rushed forward were torn to shreds by the platinum demon.

But the next moment, the undead behind filled in, quickly blocking the monsters in front.

Seeing this, Gu Qing decided not to drag things out.

Raising his right hand, the Crown of the Dead trembled slightly within the Netherworld.

A jet-black light pierced through space, instantly covering the entire battlefield.

As the aura of dominion descended, the soul fire in the eyes of all the undead surged simultaneously.

"Undead Rage!"

The undead army, which had been advancing in an orderly fashion, suddenly accelerated.

With his bone blade, Gu Yi cleaved open the front claw of a dark gold monster, dodged the attack, and slashed into its neck.

Several core undead followed closely behind, their bone blades falling one after another along the same wound, severing the monster's head.

At the same time, the Ghost Flame Bone Dragon also crashed through the front row.

The defensive line formed by the beast horde immediately cracked open.

The undead army poured in through the breach, their flanks quickly closing in and cutting off the first few dozen monsters from the main force.

The Nether Guard passed through the physical attack and directly entered the demonic object.

The monsters struck by them froze for a moment, then were slashed to the ground by the bone blades, with no chance to resist. More and more monster corpses surrounded them.

However, the monster horde did not collapse; they continued to fight with all their might.

Several platinum-colored monsters bypassed the front-row undead and focused their attention on Bone in the center of the formation.

They had realized that the key to this undead army's tight coordination lay with Bone One.

These monsters were also highly intelligent; after a few low growls, they quickly reached an agreement.

Several platinum-colored monsters broke away from the battle and pounced on Bone from three directions.

Meanwhile, the remaining monsters, disregarding casualties, charged into the undead army, braving the bone blades.

The barrage of attacks rained down simultaneously, shattering the front-line undead one after another, their bones scattering across the ground.

The encirclement that the undead army had just formed was breached.

Bone Yi raised his bone blade to block the frontal attack, but his body was still pushed backward by the immense force.

At this moment, the two platinum monsters had circled around to the side, their sharp claws aimed straight for its head.

The core undead immediately returned to reinforce, and the lines that had been suppressing the beast horde loosened as a result.

In the outer hall, the light spot representing Gu Qing on the light screen slowed down for the first time.

The new students gathered in front of the light screen all looked up.

"Gu Qing has stopped; it seems he has encountered a formidable enemy."

"I knew it. Hell difficulty isn't that easy. Gu Qing cleared the first area so quickly, probably by using undead to build it up at any cost. Now that the undead are gone, he can't move anymore."

"That's right, he advanced too quickly. The undead must have suffered heavy losses, and they're probably out of options now."

The surrounding freshmen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Gu Qing's speed in clearing the level was so fast that it shocked everyone.

However, although the progress on the light screen slowed down, it did not stop.

Unbeknownst to them, the monsters in the secret realm were being rapidly eliminated.

Within the secret realm, several platinum-colored demons broke through the gap in the battle line and headed straight for the rear of the army.

Their target is Gu Qing.

The demon at the forefront leaped high into the air, its front paws slamming towards Gu Qing's chest with immense energy.

The remaining heads surrounded them from both sides, completely blocking their escape route.

Gu Qing did not move.

The Netherworld Armor unfolded close to his body, and the platinum demon's claws slammed heavily onto the armor.

boom!

The dark armor caved in for a moment, then quickly returned to its original shape.

The second attack followed immediately, and the black mist on the surface of the soul armor surged, yet it still did not break.

Gu Qing raised the Netherworld Soul Scythe and slashed horizontally.

The black scythe sliced ​​open the foreleg of one of the platinum monsters, and soul power flowed into the wound, causing it to pause for a moment.

Gu Qing did not pursue, but instead took a few steps back.

The wounded platinum monster roared and chased after them, while the others tightened their encirclement.

Gu Qing blocked the attacks one after another, moving his feet to bring them to the area where the corpses were most concentrated.

The corpses of monsters lay scattered on the ground, almost covering the surrounding area.

Once the platinum-level monsters had finished surrounding him, Gu Qing stopped.

"Good location."

Black undead power spread out from beneath his feet and seeped into the surrounding corpses.

"Undead Servants"

The corpses on the ground shuddered simultaneously.

The dark gold monster that had just fallen raised its head first, its broken forepaw bracing itself against the ground, and then fiercely bit the hind leg of the platinum monster beside it.

More bodies followed and rose to their feet.

Their wounds were still bleeding, but their eyes were filled with only dark, ghostly flames.

Dozens of undead minions launched an attack from within, instantly disrupting the monster's formation.

The platinum-colored demons that were originally attacking Gu Qing were instead surrounded by a horde of corpses.

Gu Yi seized the opportunity, and the bone blade in his hand fell heavily to the ground.

The scattered military formation immediately shifted.

The core undead blocked the gap, and the two wings closed again, cutting off all the monsters that rushed into the formation.

The Netherworld Guardian also charged out, ignoring the platinum demon's protective energy, and its attack went straight for the soul.

"boom!"

Just then, a shadow fell from the sky.

The Ghost Flame Bone Dragon swooped down and landed, its bone claws pinning down a platinum monster that was trying to break free. It bit the monster and dragged it back into the encirclement.

Gu Qing also made a move at this moment.

With swift movement, Gu Qing instantly arrived beside the previously injured monster.

The Netherworld Soul Scythe sliced ​​upwards, cutting into its neck.

The soul attack erupted from the scythe, instantly killing the monster, whose aura also weakened.

Gu Qing's Netherworld Soul Scythe struck down again, and the platinum demon's body went limp, collapsing at Gu Qing's feet.

The power of the undead was injected into the corpse once more.

The platinum monster, which had just died, stood up again and turned to pounce on its companion.

I don't know if it's because I'm getting more and more comfortable using the undead enslavement technique, but the success rate has increased significantly.

In this way, the more demons die, the more undead Gu Qingmo has.

In the outer hall, the light spot that had just slowed down began to accelerate again.

The second area marker is turned off.

Then came the third and the fourth.

Everyone stared at the light screen, and for a moment no one mentioned the loss of undead.

After a moment, someone finally spoke in a low voice.

"No, is this really hellish?"

The freshman next to him immediately opened Gu Qing's information.

[Trial Difficulty: Hell Level]

The dark red text remained unchanged.

The light spot representing Gu Qing's progress has already passed through most of the area, and it's moving even faster than before.

"How many dead did he bring in?"

"It's not a matter of how much we brought."

A necromancer freshman stared at the constantly fading marker, his voice hoarse.

"The problem is that the speed at which these monsters are being reduced is abnormally high, which means that Gu Qing may have been holding back in the freshman competition."

The surrounding freshmen looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this.

Release the water?

Gu Qing's performance on the freshman competition stage was already amazing enough. If he was holding back even then, how terrifying must Gu Qing's true strength be?!

In the secret realm, at the edge of the wasteland, the last batch of monsters fell.

The undead army behind Gu Qing had spread out in a large area, with the newly converted undead servants walking at the forefront, and the underworld guards moving among them. Gu Yi led the core undead to guard the central army.

Just then, a heavy force pressed down from the front.

Large sections of the ground cracked open, and the undead servants standing at the forefront were thrown into the air one after another.

As soon as the Ghost Flame Bone Dragon lowered its body, it was knocked back dozens of meters by the frontal impact, its bone claws dragging several deep grooves in the ground.

Finally, the guardian monster emerged from the edge of the wasteland.

With each step it took forward, the surrounding pebbles bounced.

Without taking the hit head-on, Gu Yi immediately led his army to spread out to both sides, and the undead advanced in batches, constantly hindering the steps of the guarding demons.

Gu Qing glanced at the battlefield.

The corpses piled up along the way had formed a continuous line.

He raised his hand.

"Evacuate everyone from the pile of corpses."

As Gu Yi sheathed his sword and retreated, the undead army quickly dispersed.

With no obstacles in sight, the guardian monster immediately locked onto Gu Qing, shattering the ground as it charged into the horde of corpses.

Gu Qing didn't intend to waste any time. He raised his right hand, aimed it forward, and clenched his fingers.

"burst!"

boom!

The power of the Underworld Lord's Corpse Explosion was instantly activated, and more than a dozen corpses at the front exploded at the same time.

Flesh and blood mixed with the power of the undead, tearing through the protective defenses of the gatekeeper monster. Just as it was about to rush out of the explosion zone, the second piece of corpse began to glow with black light.

"burst!"

"burst!"

"burst!"

Gu Qing continuously triggered the Netherworld Lord's Corpse Explosion, causing the corpses in front of him to explode one after another.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions rose from beneath the feet of the guardian monster ahead, causing its massive body to lose its balance and crash heavily into the pile of corpses.

The Ghost Flame Bone Dragon pounced from the left, biting its shoulder, while Bone One, along with the core undead, pressed in from the right, and the bone blade fell at the same time, locking it firmly in place.

The undead army regrouped, sealing off all escape routes.

Gu Qing clenched her raised hand again.

The last piece of the corpse exploded at the same time.

The violent force engulfed the guarding monsters, and the newly repaired defenses were completely shattered.

Gu Qing pierced through the still-lingering black mist, his Netherworld Soul Scythe stabbing straight down.

The scythe pierced into the guardian demon, unleashing its full soul power.

The guardian monster collapsed to the ground and never got up again.

Unfortunately, this gatekeeper monster failed to transform into an undead.

Gu Qing put the corpse of the gatekeeper demon into his spatial ring.

The corpse of this gatekeeper demon would be absolutely powerful enough for the Underworld Lord's Corpse Explosion.

The next moment, a screen of light appeared.

[Advancement Trial Completed]

[Clearance time: 15 minutes and 20 seconds!]

[Completion Points: 1080000]

[Review: Mythical!]
