My career has infinite upgrades.

Chapter 87 Final Boss: A Bone Dragon

The stands were deathly silent.

The entire room fell silent.

"Wait, is this Gu Qing really that fierce?"

"I originally thought that Gu Qing only became the top scorer in the college entrance examination because of that level 30 desert undead dragon, but I didn't expect that I was wearing tinted glasses."

"What kind of skill is that black armor? The Flame Lion slapped him with its claws, and he wasn't even hurt."

The senior student who had previously asserted that Gu Qing relied solely on summoned creatures stood there, his expression somewhat grim.

During the college entrance examination, they could still say that Gu Qing was lucky and got the reward for the Hundred-Floor Tower.

But since the Desert Undead Dragon is not allowed to be released in the arena, he still chose the Hell difficulty.

Moreover, the last Platinum Lord on the first level was still surrounded and killed by him and a dozen or so undead.

This can no longer be explained by luck.

In front of the stands, an older student puts down his scoreboard.

"His physical defense and melee combat abilities are no less than those of his summoned creatures."

The person next to him remained silent for a moment.

"A necromancer directly overpowering a platinum lord?"

"What rank has he reached in his profession?"

On the stage, the mentors behind Lin Lei looked at Gu Qing's screen with different expressions.

They hadn't expected Gu Qing to be so strong.

Lin Lei remained silent, his gaze fixed on Gu Qing, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

As one of the top ten combatants in the Dragon Kingdom, he can see more.

This little guy hasn't even used his full strength yet.

Moreover, that black armor was no ordinary thing; his profession must hold some secrets.

However, Lin Lei wouldn't investigate further, since everyone with sufficient strength has secrets.

Even he himself has secrets.

If a talent has enough potential, it is worth nurturing.

Inside the secret realm, Gu Qingtian spun around and arrived at the second level of the secret realm.

Before me was a long, narrow corridor with dark stone walls on both sides and nothing else in sight.

As soon as Gu Qing entered the corridor, the ground in front of him suddenly began to shake.

The next moment, the ground suddenly cracked open, and figures leaped out from it.

These figures are three meters tall and covered in deep blue crystal armor.

Within the cracks of the crystal armor, eerie blue flames burned, radiating terrifying heat.

Gu Qing raised an eyebrow; the demon before him was far more powerful than the demon on the first level.

【Phantom Flame Crystal Armor Demon】

[Grade: Diamond]

[Level: 20]

[Description: An Abyssal race, a member of the Darkin.]

Looking at the information about the demon in front of him, Gu Qing's expression changed slightly.

The Darkin are a race of the Abyss, but they can also be considered an alliance, which includes many different races.

Compared to ordinary abyssal monsters, Darkin are considered the abyssal nobility.

Even the Darkin's retinue are quite fierce in combat.

Gu Qing took a deep breath and assumed a fighting stance.

At this moment, the people on the stands in the outer playground gasped in surprise.

"Holy crap! I didn't expect there to be diamond-grade monsters in Hell difficulty."

"As expected of the hellish difficulty level, an ordinary freshman would probably be wiped out if he encountered these diamond-level monsters."

"However, everyone still had the self-awareness to choose the hell difficulty level, except for Lin Qinghua, Zhu Xingtong, Zhu Miaolian and Gu Qing."

"I'm starting to doubt whether those four can even get through this hellish difficulty level. It's just too hard."

All eyes were on the light screen, ready to see how Gu Qing would respond.

At this moment, the Netherflame Crystal Armor Demon did not immediately rush in from within the light screen.

After they emerged from the flames, they quickly dispersed.

Ten heads blocked the front corridor.

From the flames on both sides, several crystal-armored demons circled around to the rear.

The remaining monsters stopped further away, and the ghostly blue flames danced along the crystal armor, sealing off all of Gu Qing's possible positions.

They are clearly more intelligent than the Flame Lion.

Suppress from the front, surround from the flanks, and cut off from the rear.

Even the most elite dozen or so undead will be gradually surrounded and killed by them.

"This is really tough."

"Gu Qing's undead can slay gold-level monsters, but diamond-level monsters are not on the same level."

"Moreover, these things are covered in crystal armor, making them very difficult to penetrate."

Gu Qing looked at the crystal-armored demons ahead and did not allow Gu Yi and his men to charge.

Gu Yi stood at the forefront, his bone blade slightly raised, while a dozen core undead gathered their forces, protecting Gu Qing in the center.

The Fiery Crystal Armor Demon began to approach.

The space in the Black Stone Corridor is getting narrower and narrower.

The people in the stands held their breath.

The next moment, Gu Qing raised his hand.

The Netherworld opens.

Thick black mist surged from behind him and spread rapidly along both sides of the corridor.

One body.

Ten objects.

Twenty bodies.

The undead guards stepped out of the black mist one after another.

They all bore the marks of battle, their bone blades gleaming coldly. Each undead appeared without the slightest pause, quickly moving to its designated location.

They held weapons in the front row, forming a frontal formation.

Two teams split off from the flanks to guard the edge of the corridor.

The last ten undead remained at the rear, blocking the crystalline armored monsters that were flanking them.

In just a few breaths, fifty dead souls had filled the corridor.

Bone stood at the very front, raising the bone blade in his hand forward.

The fifty spirits stopped in their tracks at the same time.

The sounds from the north playground suddenly ceased.

Someone opened their mouth but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

"Wasn't that the limit for Gu Qing? He—only released a dozen or so?"

"Is this the true number of his undead?"

"Fifty undead, if they all had the same fighting strength as before, that would be terrifying."

The undead guards stood quietly in place, their bones bearing dark red runes.

They lack the scattered feeling of ordinary undead.

The fifty undead stood side by side, their auras calm and composed, their formation showing no sign of disorder.

A mentor slowly began to speak.

"These undead are not just numerous."

"Their coordination is all trained."

Another mentor looked at Bone One on the light screen.

"The undead leader is in charge."

"Gu Qing has been hiding his true strength all along."

After those words were spoken, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding freshmen became even more complicated.

They were still arguing about whether Gu Qing's spirit was strong enough.

Gu Qing had only brought a small number of undead, and they had already cleared two levels in a row.

In the corridor, the Netherflame Crystal Armor Demon finally moved.

Roar!

Thirty-two crystal-armored demons stomped the ground simultaneously.

Azure flames erupted from the gaps in their crystal armor, transforming into a wave of fire that swept along the corridor.

"Runes attached".

Gu Qing raised her hand.

A red light shone on the chests of the undead in the front row.

Defensive runes emerged from his bones and quickly covered his entire body.

This is a new ability that Gu Qing comprehended from the runes. Although its defensive power is relatively low, it's better than nothing.

The ghostly blue flames collided with the battle line, and the undead at the forefront sank slightly, but did not retreat.

The defensive runes flashed continuously, keeping the flames out of the bones.

"withstand!"

Bone blade pointing forward.

The twenty undead in the front row pushed forward, pressing down on the waves of fire.

The undead on both the left and right flanks simultaneously slashed out to meet the crystal-armored monsters that had circled around to the side.

boom!

The first demon in the Netherflame Crystal Armor charged into the battle line.

Two undead grabbed its arms, while three other bone blades slashed down from different directions, striking the joints of the crystal armor.

The crystal armor cracked.

Bone passed through the line of fire, its bone blade slicing diagonally and severing its head.

The Demon Armored Demon of Ghost Flame fell.

The crystal-armored monsters behind immediately filled the gap.

Gu Yi did not pursue, but led the core guards to cut to the right, tearing the monster horde in front of him in two.

The undead on the left immediately pressed down, blocking the gap.

The once-complete encirclement formation instantly fell into chaos.

"Split the formation!"

In the stands, some people understood Gu Yi's movements.

"Sever them from both ends first, then surround and kill them one by one!"

"This undead's command is more stable than many professionals."

Gu Qing, carrying the black bone scythe, followed Gu Yi into the battlefield.

The Netherworld Armor blocked the flames surging from all sides.

A demon in a shimmering blue armor charged from the side, its fists burning with azure flames, aiming straight for Gu Qing's head.

Gu Qing didn't stop, and the black bone scythe slashed out horizontally.

clang!

The scythe struck the crystal armor, sending sparks flying.

The Demon of the Netherflame Crystal Armor paused.

The Black Bone Scythe's force wasn't enough to completely cleave through the crystal armor, but the Nether Soul Scythe's soul damage had already penetrated it.

The crystal-armored monster froze.

With a flick of his wrist, Gu Qing slashed the side of its neck with the second sickle.

puff!

His head hit the ground.

Bone One had already led the undead to cut into the other side.

The front-row undead tank the impact, while the back-row undead fill in from the side.

The entire undead team worked together seamlessly, handling even diamond-level monsters with ease.

Gu Qing, carrying the Black Bone Scythe, stepped into the battle circle of the Netherflame Crystal Armor Demon.

The ghostly blue flames rushed towards him, but scattered after hitting the Netherworld Soul Armor, without even touching the hem of his clothes.

Bone One had already led the undead to cut through the front line.

Fifty undead responded to each other from the front and back, with the front row holding off the impact while the left and right wings constantly weaved in and out, tearing the more than thirty Netherflame Crystal Armor Demons into several pieces.

They surrounded and killed them piece by piece.

The power of the Netherflame Crystal Armor Demon is not weak.

They swung their fists down, and the ghostly blue flames exploded along the corridor. Several undead guards were blasted back, and the defensive runes that had just lit up on their bones dimmed.

But the battle lines remained intact.

If the front row takes half a step back, the back row immediately fills in.

Bone leaped up, stepping on the shoulder of a crystal-armored demon, and slashed down diagonally with his bone blade, striking the joint of the crystal armor.

Click!

A crack appeared in the crystal armor.

Two undead guards delivered the finishing blows simultaneously, their bone blades wedging into the crack, which they pried open with force.

The chestplate of the Netherflame Crystal Armor Demon shattered into several pieces, exposing the flickering blue flames inside.

With a backhand slash, Gu Yi made a fatal blow.

The soul fire went out.

The crystal-armored demon collapsed with a thud.

"Left side, three heads."

Gu Qing spoke.

Bone immediately turned.

Instead of confronting the undead, the three-headed Netherflame Crystal Armor Demon on the left charged straight at Gu Qing, bearing several bone blades.

Their crystalline armor is thick and heavy; when a bone blade strikes it, it can only leave a shallow mark.

The three-headed demon shattered the black stone, and the eerie blue flames on its fists burned ever brighter.

"Kill him first!"

On the stands, someone couldn't help but shout out.

Diamond-grade monsters already possess a considerable level of combat instinct.

They could tell that Gu Qing was the core of this undead team.

Gu Qing stood still, raising the black bone scythe.

The first crystal-armored demon rushed forward and slammed its fist down on his head.

The Netherworld Armor blocked the fist.

boom!

The black soul light flickered.

Gu Qing turned to the side, and the black bone scythe slashed across the Crystal Armor Demon's waist.

The scythe failed to pierce the crystal armor.

But the power of the Netherworld Soul Scythe had already entered its soul.

The armored demon paused, and the soul fire within the gaps in its armor began to flicker erratically.

Gu Qing swung his sickle again.

puff!

The black mist passed through the crystal armor, and the ghostly blue soul fire spread out directly.

Bone charged in from the side, its bone blade slicing into its neck.

The head rolled to the ground.

The second crystal-armored demon had already pressed itself against Gu Qing's back.

Gu Qing didn't turn around. He reached back with his left hand and the Netherworld Soul Scythe condensed in his palm.

The sickle blade is raised from bottom to top.

The damage to the soul penetrated into the body.

Just as the Crystal Armor Demon raised his arm, Bone and two undead guards arrived.

Three bone blades fell simultaneously.

The crystal armor shattered.

The last crystal-armored demon tried to retreat, but Gu Qing kicked it in the chest.

Under the protection of the Netherworld Armor, this kick sent it flying back into the necromantic array.

The bone was slashed down with a single stroke.

The eerie blue flames transformed into large specks of light, scattering throughout the dark corridor.

"it's over?"

"This is a diamond-grade monster, how come he kills it like it's an ordinary monster?"

"There's something wrong with that scythe; the crystal armor can't stop his attacks at all."

The people in the stands stared at the screen, their voices growing softer and softer.

They had thought that the Netherflame Crystal Armor Demon's defenses could at least hold off Gu Qing for a while.

Within minutes, the first batch of monsters had all fallen.

Gu Qing glanced at the undead army.

More than a dozen undead guards suffered broken bones, and the defensive runes on their chests dimmed.

He raised his hand.

Black mist swept through the corridor.

The damaged undead guards were taken into the undead space, and the fully recovered undead stepped out of the black mist one after another to fill their original positions.

Sixty dead souls.

The number has not decreased.

The formation remained completely unchanged.

Bone stood at the very front, his bone blade hanging at his side.

The undead guards behind it stood in quiet ranks, as if the battle had left no trace.

On the viewing platform, a freshman's face froze.

"Can he be replaced?"

The people next to him didn't say anything.

They then realized that Gu Qing didn't only have one elite squad.

There are probably even more undead in his necromantic realm.

If you get hurt, take it back.

Replace it when it's in good condition.

A war of attrition?

For Gu Qing, it simply doesn't exist.

"This guy is using the undead as an army."

An older student spoke slowly.

"And it's an army that can be rotated at any time."

Those who were saying that Gu Qing would be worn down by the diamond monster all shut their mouths.

Heavy footsteps echoed from the depths of the corridor.

Another batch of monsters has appeared.

This time, there were more than a dozen giant horned monsters covered in black armor, their four hooves pounding the ground, and the crystalline horns growing from their foreheads gleaming coldly.

They kept their bodies low to the ground, not getting any closer.

The next moment, more than a dozen giant horned monsters charged at the same time.

The narrow corridor was completely blocked by them.

Bone raised the bone blade.

The front-line undead guards immediately dispersed, not confronting the enemy head-on, but instead making way for them.

As soon as the giant horned monster charged in, the undead guards on both sides closed in simultaneously.

The bone blade slashed at their hind legs.

A giant horned monster lost its balance and crashed heavily into the stone wall.

Bone led his team in, cutting directly at its head.

The giant horned monster behind tried to turn around, but found that its retreat was also blocked by the undead guards.

Gu Qing carried the black bone sickle into the battlefield.

The Netherworld Armor separated the incoming rubble and flames.

The scythe sweeps horizontally.

The soul fire of the giant horned monster was extinguished instantly.

Instead of chasing after the remaining enemies and killing them indiscriminately, Gu Yi constantly adjusted the formation, trapping the charging giant horned monsters one by one.

He collapsed.

It fell over at both ends.

The score started to jump.

Points: 3588

Points: 3978

Points: 4368

Gu Qing continued forward.

The Spectral Flame Armored Demon, the Giant Horned Ramming Beast, and the Fire Shadow Hunter hiding in the shadows of the stone wall appeared one after another.

These monsters are all of diamond rank, and their combat power is not weak.

But these monsters were slaughtered as easily as cutting melons and vegetables by the undead army led by Gu Yi.

Within just ten minutes, Gu Qing had reached the depths of the second level.

A prompt appeared before Gu Qing's eyes.

[Congratulations! You have entered the final area of ​​Hell difficulty. Defeat the final boss to complete the game.]

Gu Qing raised an eyebrow, surprised that they had arrived at the final area so quickly.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Although it's hellish difficulty, it's still a new player's run. The monsters are strong, so there won't be too many of them.

Although Gu Qing cleared the level very quickly, that was because Gu Qing's combat power was too strong.

Gu Qing led Gu Yi and the others into the final area.

A huge figure appeared ahead, and Gu Qing saw the final boss of this hellish secret realm.

It's a bone dragon!
