BANG! BANG! BANG!

The Tier Zero and Tier One Skeleton Monsters couldn’t withstand the Fire Snake Skill’s attack.

In an instant, their bodies were destroyed, their Soul Fire extinguished.

Each time he killed a Skeleton Monster, the Magic Badge on Li Wei would absorb a wisp of its essence.

It recorded Li Wei’s battle achievements.

WHOOSH!

An agile Tier Two Skeleton Monster dodged the Fire Snake Skill and rapidly closed in on Li Wei.

It was even holding a Bone Blade.

Li Wei raised his hand and launched a Fireball.

WHOOSH!

The Tier Two Skeleton twisted its body to dodge the Fireball and swung its blade straight at Li Wei’s face.

A look of surprise appeared on Li Wei’s face.

’This skeleton is something else.’

BOOM!

The Fireball landed in a group of skeletons, blowing a whole section of them to pieces.

THUD!

The Bone Blade struck right in front of Li Wei but was blocked by his Invisible Armor.

With a flick of his finger, Li Wei unleashed a cone of erupting flames.

Flame Shock!

The fiery light engulfed the Tier Two Skeleton Monster’s figure.

’A single-target attack can’t hit it.’

’Then I’ll just use an area-of-effect attack.’

BANG!

The Tier Two Skeleton Monster was sent flying by the Flame Shock.

The Fire Serpent circled around from behind and swallowed the Tier Two Skeleton Monster in one bite.

CRUNCH! CLATTER!

The Tier Two Skeleton Monster’s head was devoured by the Fire Serpent, its Soul Fire shattered.

Its body lost its Power and collapsed into a pile of bones on the ground.

Because of this delay, the surrounding Skeleton Monsters had already closed to within three meters of Li Wei.

They were a dense, impenetrable swarm.

Li Wei took out his Blast Staff and tapped the ground.

"Fire Resistance Ring!"

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The Fire Resistance Ring expanded, knocking all Skeleton Monsters within ten meters away.

Dozens of Skeleton Monsters were sent flying.

A Tier Two Fire Element Magic!

Scorched Earth!

Li Wei’s Mana drained rapidly as the ground began to burn.

The fire spread quickly, turning a large patch of ground into Scorched Earth.

The Skeleton Monsters standing on it died one after another.

In the blink of an eye, Li Wei had completed the task of clearing out the Tier Zero Skeleton Monsters.

Li Wei absorbed energy from his Fire Spirit Pearl Necklace to restore his Mana.

Casting several Tier Two Spells in a row had taken a significant toll on his Mana.

He still had seventy percent of his Mana left.

’For safety’s sake, I should always keep my Mana full.’

’That way, if I run into danger, I won’t be caught unable to replenish my Mana in time.’

Li Wei’s volley of attacks had cleared out a large area of skeletons.

But instead of decreasing, the number of skeletons had actually increased.

The commotion from his battle had awakened even more of the sleeping Skeleton Monsters.

In an instant, the several thousand Skeleton Monsters had become twenty or thirty thousand.

Spread out, that meant everyone had to deal with several hundred Skeleton Monsters each.

Everyone felt the immense pressure.

But Li Wei sensed an opportunity.

’Of these twenty to thirty thousand Skeleton Monsters, ninety-nine percent of them are Tier Zero and Tier One.’

’There must be at least a hundred Tier Two Skeleton Monsters, too.’

’This is all Credit Points.’

A greedy thought crossed Li Wei’s mind. ’It would be great if I could just one-shot all the Skeleton Monsters here with a single Super Fireball Skill.’

The moment that thought formed, he felt something was wrong.

The Greed Curse was activating.

A new aura from the Greed Curse emerged.

A message appeared in Li Wei’s mind.

Take them all. Complete all course tasks.

Failure: Deduct all Credit Points.

Li Wei’s eye twitched.

He had considered it, but it was just a fleeting thought—if he got lucky, great; if not, so be it.

But now, it had turned into a mandatory mission.

Li Wei looked up.

’In other words, there must be Tier Three and Tier Four Skeleton Monsters within this Skeleton Sea.’

’Am I exploiting the Ring of Greed in a roundabout way?’

In order to hunt the Tier Four Skeleton Monster, Li Wei headed deeper into the Secret Realm.

Watching Li Wei ignore the advice and walk deeper into the Secret Realm, Sean raised an eyebrow.

He didn’t try to stop him.

’Everyone has to be responsible for their own choices.’

’Besides, he also wanted to see just how strong Li Wei really was.’

’He felt like he couldn’t quite gauge Li Wei’s power.’

"Help!"

A student cried for help, trapped alone within a circle of Skeleton Monsters, unable to escape.

He was about to be overwhelmed by the skeletons.

A Fire Cloud fell from the sky, incinerating all the Skeleton Monsters to ash.

When the Fire Cloud dissipated, the student was unharmed.

Sean looked back toward Li Wei, only to find he had already disappeared.

He couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

’If I had kept an eye on him, I could have helped him if he got into trouble.’

’But now, Li Wei’s gone.’

’By the time I realize he’s in trouble and go to save him, it might be too late.’

After careful consideration, Sean decided not to end the practical training course just because of Li Wei.

BOOM!

A massive explosion erupted from deep within the Skeleton Sea.

The immense force of the explosion made the ground tremble.

Many people nearly lost their footing.

Everyone looked up toward the depths of the Skeleton Sea, their faces filled with curiosity.

"What happened?"

Sean watched the aftershock of the distant explosion spread out.

He could feel a powerful Magic Fluctuation coming from that direction.

He sensed that the area was filled with raging Fire Elements.

Li Wei glanced at his Magic Badge, a look of disappointment on his face.

"Too bad. It was a Tier Three Skeleton Monster, not a Tier Four."

"It was so huge, I thought it was a Tier Four Skeleton Monster. What a waste of my Mana."

’I don’t need to use a Charged Fireball to deal with a Tier Three Skeleton Monster.’

’A Blue Fireball would have been enough.’

Li Wei was about to continue his search for the Tier Four Skeleton Monster.

Suddenly, he felt the surrounding Magic Elements go quiet.

A gray Skeleton Monster appeared not far from Li Wei.

The gray Skeleton Monster was over two meters tall. Its bones weren’t particularly thick; in fact, its height made them look rather thin.

It emanated a strange Power that silenced the surrounding Magic Elements.

’Magic can’t be used.’

’Elemental Magic can’t be used.’

Li Wei’s expression tensed slightly. He realized this was a Tier Four Skeleton Monster.

Right from the start, the Tier Four Skeleton Monster gave Li Wei a huge "surprise."

Li Wei tried to cast Fireball Skill.

The Fire Element didn’t respond. The Magic stopped during the Magic Element infusion phase. Casting failed.

WHOOSH!

The gray Skeleton Monster closed in quickly.

It could cover several meters in a single step, appearing before Li Wei in an instant.

BAM!

Its long arm slammed into Li Wei, but it was blocked by his Invisible Armor.

CRACK!

A layer of the Invisible Armor shattered.

The gray Skeleton Monster’s attack seemed unremarkable.

But its power was astonishing.

’This is a genuine Tier Four Skeleton Monster.’

Aside from its ability to silence Magic Elements, the gray skeleton seemed to possess only terrifying brute strength.

It hammered away at Li Wei’s "turtle shell" again and again.

Li Wei quickly thought of a countermeasure.

’The Magic Elements are silent, so I can’t use Elemental Magic.’

’The only Magic I can still use is the Object Control Skill.’

’But the Object Control Skill is useless against a Tier Four Skeleton Monster.’

Li Wei cast the Object Control Skill, trying to push it away.

The Tier Four Skeleton Monster’s Power directly broke free from the control of the Tier Three Object Control Skill, and it shattered another layer of Invisible Armor.

"If this doesn’t work, my only option is to retreat for now."

"Get out of its ability’s effective range and attack from a distance."

Li Wei cast the Object Control Skill, this time applying it to himself.

He flew up toward the sky.

The gray Skeleton Monster grabbed onto Li Wei and was carried into the sky with him.

It held onto Li Wei with one hand and hammered on his "turtle shell" with the other.

Li Wei helplessly fell back down.

’There’s no other way.’

Li Wei could only resort to his final trump card.

The Power within his body surged.

Li Wei’s pupils transformed into burning vertical slits.

His throat bulged, glowing with a red light.

Dragon Flame Breath!
