Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 217: Chapter 135: Dungeon

”Boss, boss, can we not go out this time?”

Luoning’s voice was tinged with worry. Beside her, Aisha was continuously calculating something, but she couldn’t find anything related to Baiyi.

She couldn’t help but glance at her disciple, and her fondness for him grew even more. After all, during the past two months together, she clearly understood how strong Luoning’s Premonition Talent was.

Baiyi paused slightly and asked, ”Why?”

”It’s just... very dangerous. If you go, I feel like I won’t see you again,” Luoning said hesitantly. ”At least for a long time, I won’t see you.”

A profound malice gradually revealed itself on Baiyi’s body, scarlet shimmered in his eyes: ”Take a look again now.”

A hint of fear appeared in Luoning’s eyes, and she shrank back behind Aisha, revealing one eye with the fluctuation of Destiny flowing within.

In her perspective, Baiyi’s Destiny was originally a scarlet figure enveloped within a vast expanse of blue, but now it had changed dramatically.

The red gradually invaded the blue, the blue quickly shrank, and the fierce figure increasingly occupied her entire vision.

The blue diamond crystal was at the heart of that crimson figure, pulsating faintly.

Crimson veins connected the two, as if the red was tainting the blue heart. However, due to the solidity of the diamond crystal’s exterior, it couldn’t be corroded, and it even seemed to take orders from the blue crystal.

Meanwhile, scenes rapidly flashed through her mind.

Originally, after Baiyi left, there were only the four of them, master and disciple, in the Potion Shop. Now, Baiyi’s figure appeared again, only his state seemed not very good.

She wanted to see more clearly. The scarlet figure seemed to notice her and roared with great dissatisfaction, reaching out as if to grab her.

Luoning screamed and turned to run. When she rushed into her room, the images in her mind shattered.

Luoning patted her chest and looked at Baiyi, still hesitantly saying, ”Boss, you came back, but your state isn’t quite right. You still need to be careful; it wouldn’t show me more.”

Baiyi smiled and patted her head: ”Don’t worry, I have it under control.”

With that, he walked into the laboratory and picked up the Divine Showcase to carry it out.

He glanced at the panel of Skills, which now included two new Skills: [Soul of Accumulation] and [Spiritual Stagnation].

[Name: Soul of Accumulation

Attributes: Active Skills

Effect: Accumulate the Power of the Soul for a while, inflicting Soul Damage equal to 150% of your Soul Strength on the enemy.

Cooling Time: 10 minutes.

Usage Requirements: Spiritual Strength 400+

Introduction: I have cultivated the Soul all my life; how can I let brutes bully me? --- Margaret Yu Wu.]

This was the firearm unleashed when the gigantic figure coalesced. These Soul System skills are not fixed in form; learning them primarily involves mastering the use of Soul Energy.

After Baiyi spent 1 skill point to max out the skill level, he could arbitrarily change the appearance of this skill.

And by grinding skill points to increase proficiency, Baiyi clearly discovered an issue with the Cooling Time.

This Cooling Time doesn’t mean a second use of the skill cannot be made within a short time. Instead, it’s the interval to use the skill without side effects and at no cost.

Forcing the skill release is possible, but during skill point level-ups to increase proficiency, a demonstration showed that after forcibly using the Soul of Accumulation five times within a minute, the Cooling Time became half a year, with even the Soul becoming somewhat languid, entering Sage Time directly.

The only drawback is the need for a casting time, at least three seconds of casting time.

For this reason, Baiyi intentionally acquired the Spiritual Stagnation skill to create synergy.

[Name: Spiritual Stagnation.

Attributes: Active Skills

Effect: Create a Spirit Domain, where any matter, energy, or thought is reduced by 99%, creating an effect similar to the stoppage of time.

Usable Time: 1 minute.

Introduction: Spirit and time are both intangible; unfortunately, I can only simulate them in the end, unable to truly halt them--- Nicole Sand]

Knowledge Hall is the entire collection of knowledge in Dawn, compiled from relics, the creations of strong ones, or accidental occurrences.

Within it, the breadth of skills is astonishingly vast, and most people only select a few suitable ones to purchase and practice.

Baiyi didn’t purchase many, a set for the Dark Side, and a set for the Light Side.

During this time, due to reasons like the Exoskeleton Mechanism, he has just initiated these two skills, planning to supplement other skills soon.

Now there are twenty-five skill points left, enough to max out the proficiency of all skills.

After placing the Divine Showcase in a secluded wooden house in the Outer City District, Baiyi went to the prison to bring out five death row inmates.

In Dawn, death sentences were rare, primarily because sending someone to mine provided additional free labor.

Yet, generally, the death sentence was reserved for those of severe transgressions, such as killing talented children, breaking into homes for murder and theft, or trafficking legal residents and forcibly engaging in relations with the opposite sex.

These are capital offenses, with undeniable proof followed swiftly by beheading.

Currently, there are not many awaiting execution in the prison; most crimes result in becoming miners or a few months of confinement.

Following Baiyi’s order, one person trembled and stepped forward, writing a question on a gray tentacle: [Who is the Lady of the Night?]

As the tentacle of the Divine Showcase retracted, this cabinet-like thing trembled slightly, emitting some unusual sounds from within.
