My career has infinite upgrades.

Chapter 39 Soul Crystallization, Hatching of the Desert Undead Dragon's Origin

"No! Am I seeing things? Gu Qing just charged into the fray on his own, didn't he?"

"Could it be that someone tipped him off so we could see him from the outside, causing him to panic and start fighting on his own?"

"Excellent, this is a perfect cover-up! It must be thoroughly investigated!"

"Where are you all focusing on? Didn't you see how Gu Qing slaughtered those undead knights like cutting melons and vegetables? That's enough to prove that Gu Qing is very strong."

"Yeah, and that scythe is so cool! I remember we can't bring our own weapons, so that means it's a skill?"

"He's handsome, but that thing that resembles the Grim Reaper's scythe, could a mere F-rank necromancer summon it? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"I don't care about that. Can the little glutton start eating now? The screen display should be working fine."

A chubby high school freshman, his cheeks flushed, shouted, "Fine, I'll eat! Who's afraid of who?! I mean what I say!"

Someone nearby quickly pulled him back: "No, you're really going to eat it?"

The proctor breathed a slight sigh of relief as he looked at the image on the screen.

This at least proves that there are no problems with the Hundred-Story Pagoda and the light curtain display.

I kept my job.

My life was saved!

Any problem with the college entrance examination can be a death sentence.

Of course, it won't be that straightforward; they'll just throw you into the void battlefield, ostensibly to give you experience.

Of those who survive the trials, only one in ten thousand remains.

Many first- and second-year high school students stared at Gu Qing's figure on the screen with sparkling eyes.

"The Necromancer Apprentice is so handsome? And so strong too? I wish I could become a Necromancer Apprentice when I change jobs."

"Yes, wielding a weapon that looks like a death scythe, slaying monsters like cutting vegetables—isn't this the profession I've always wanted?"

"How can you be so sure he's a necromancer apprentice? Senior Gu Qing has another profession, you know. Maybe it's just the power of a simp in action?"

"Are you out of your mind? Being a simp is a job, how could you possibly have combat power? If you really like being a simp, you can start simping now, accumulate experience, and maybe you'll actually be promoted to a simp."

"Fine, I'll lick it, Zhang Xiaohua, I like it..."

"Stop! I don't like men."

The teachers from the surrounding first and second year high school students, hearing the discussion, immediately and anxiously corrected them.

"Classmates, whether it's the F-rank job 'Simp' or the F-rank job 'Undead Apprentice,' they are both useless jobs, without a doubt."

"That's right. The reason why Gu Qing can show such strong combat power is definitely because his profession has undergone a mutation. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to summon the Grim Reaper's Scythe."

"Also, have you noticed? Gu Qing's combat skills are superb. When he killed those undead knights, his dodging and attack were both done to the extreme."

"This reminds us that no matter what profession we choose, combat skills are extremely important, and you all need to build a solid foundation."

The teachers for the first and second years of high school started to speak, steer the conversation toward combat techniques.

The two papal knights supervising the exam on the high platform stared intently at Gu Qing's light screen, their eyes gleaming.

This guy is definitely suspicious!

Inside the secret mirror, Gu Qing had already reached the sixty-first floor.

The moment my feet touched the ground, a bone-chilling cold swept over me.

The surrounding area was an ice field, with frost-laden winds blowing and visibility extremely low.

It was another layer where the terrain and environment had changed, and the degree of change was even greater than before; the frost stung painfully when it hit my skin.

"Master, there are about twenty enemies rapidly approaching from about a hundred meters ahead."

Gu Qing commanded the undead guards to deploy in a fan-shaped defensive formation, blocking the way in front.

More than twenty frost wolves covered in ice armor rushed out, each of them being a level 11 dark gold rank.

These frost wolves exude an aura of extreme cold, and the surrounding environment, instead of weakening them, actually amplifies their icy power.

The frostwolf breathed out icy air, freezing several undead guards stiff and turning the ground into ice. This caused all the undead guards in the front row to slip and fall, creating a gap in the formation.

Three frost wolves surged in through the gap, their claws aimed directly at Gu Qing's face.

Gu Qing swept his spear horizontally, knocking away the nearest frost wolf.

Cecilia lashed out with her whip, the light of the fallen saints coiling around it, and smashed the head of the second frost wolf to pieces!

Melisandre controlled the last frost wolf, and fired a bone spear that pierced through its body.

After withstanding the first wave of attacks, the surrounding undead guards, under Gu Qing's command, separated and killed all the frost wolves.

It only took two minutes!

【Soul Fragment (145/100)】

Looking at the increased soul fragments, Gu Qing nodded in satisfaction.

It's not that you need to use the Netherworld Soul Scythe to kill enemies to obtain soul fragments; you can obtain them simply by killing enemies.

Looking at the portal that appeared before him, Gu Qing did not rush to enter, but instead chose to fuse the soul fragments into a soul crystal.

"Buzz!"

Strands of pale green soul fragments emanated from Gu Qing's body and quickly coalesced in front of him.

A crystallized soul, radiating soul power fluctuations, rapidly condensed.

With a thought, Gu Qing directly stored the soul crystal in the undead space, ready to use it whenever needed.

Gu Qing stepped through the portal in front of him and continued towards the next level.

In subsequent succession, the environment is constantly changing.

Some are lava zones, where the monsters are lava trolls.

Some are swamps filled with corrosive, poisonous fog, and the monsters are small, poisonous frogs.

Some are even single-level water bodies where you fight directly in the water; the monsters are sword-winged demon sharks.

Gu Qing advanced steadily, relying on the flexible control of the undead space, Melissand's precise perception, and Cecilia's powerful output.

Soon, Gu Qing arrived at the seventieth floor.

Once he passes this level, his rating will be legendary, and he will gain ten free attribute points with each subsequent level up.

As soon as Gu Qing stepped inside, he felt a wave of heat hit him.

Lava terrain!

"Buzz!"

A series of array patterns lit up, covering the entire lava area.

With its challenging terrain and complex formations, it truly lives up to its reputation as a level with 70 floors!

As Gu Qing was thinking, a notification sound rang in her ear.

"Congratulations on reaching the 70th floor. The formation on this floor is designed with elemental advantage."

"Your primary power has been detected to be from the undead element. The formation has been automatically adjusted, and the undead element will receive a 200% damage bonus in this level."

Gu Qing's lips twitched; he hadn't expected there to be a counter to attributes.

This is a level that I really don't want students to pass.

If you were a regular student, you could probably teleport out right after reaching this level.

Just as Gu Qing was about to see what kind of monster this level was, a new notification sounded.

[Ding! Congratulations! The Desert Undead Dragon's essence has completed absorbing the power of the undead, meeting the hatching requirements.]

[Should we proceed with incubation?]
