Chapter 56: Silver Rank

After returning to Jinling City, Wu Shaochen headed straight to the Temple of War. It was just past noon, and the temple was bustling with people. To avoid any trouble, Wu Shaochen found a corner to change his attire and alter his mask. Then, he leisurely walked in and confirmed his entry into the Silver Rank War God Realm.

Upon seeing the illusion of a war god wearing a mage robe, Wu Shaochen furrowed his brows. Mage-type bosses were his least favorite. He quickly casted an Insight Spell.

[War God Illusion]Silver Rank

Level: 18

Health: 450,000

Magic Attack: 1200

Physical Defense: 560

Magic Defense: 620

Movement Speed: 140

Skill 1: Fireball: Launches a fireball that deals 120% magic damage to the designated target. Cooldown: 3 seconds.

Skill 2: Blink: Teleports a certain distance in the specified direction. Cooldown: 2 minutes.

Skill 3: Fire Rain: Releases a shower of fire at the designated location, dealing 80% magic damage per second to targets within a 3x3 meter range for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 2 minutes.

Skill 4: Sea of Fire: Unleashes a large area of flames in the specified zone, dealing 20% magical damage per second to targets within a 10x10 meter range for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 5 minutes. (Damage calculation for skills with less than 100% damage bonus is based on subtracting the target's defense from the attack and then multiplying by the percentage.)

"Darn it, this space is only about 100 square meters, and a Sea of Fire can cover it all. It's a tough challenge. Good thing I brought potions," Wu Shaochen muttered to himself.

In fact, with his current strength, Wu Shaochen didn't feel much pressure facing a Silver Rank boss. After all, he already had five pieces of Silver Rank equipment, and his health and defense were ridiculously high. He didn't care about ordinary Silver Rank bosses. However, encountering a mage boss in this limited space was quite troublesome. He couldn't even sneak around or escape the attack range. So Wu Shaochen had no choice but to face it head-on.

Although the skills of this War God Illusion seemed powerful, they were limited in their damage against Wu Shaochen's 631 magic defense. With his over 6,800 health, the danger level was not high. Moreover, with his lifesteal attribute and the combination of potions, he was completely unfazed.

Wu Shaochen activated his extreme speed and rushed forward to deliver a heavy blow. The silence effect for 3 seconds from this skill was an absolute counter to mages. The silenced War God Illusion could only run away, but its speed was no match for Wu Shaochen. Once caught, it was a beating. Soon, it was afflicted with four layers of poison, with Wu Shaochen's current 540 poison damage per second. Four layers of poison could inflict nearly 130,000 damage on it in a minute.

As soon as the silence effect on the War God Illusion ended, it immediately blinked away. However, in the limited space, it couldn't run too far and was quickly caught up to. It then covered the entire space with a Sea of Fire and launched a Fire Rain towards Wu Shaochen. This was followed by a barrage of Fireball spells, rapidly depleting Wu Shaochen's health.

Wu Shaochen quickly dodged the Fire Rain's attack range and changed direction to continue attacking the illusion. However, the illusion took cover within the area of the Fire Rain.

"Darn, so clever?" Wu Shaochen was dumbfounded. Fortunately, the Fire Rain only lasted for 5 seconds. Although he could withstand it, it was unnecessary and would consume too many potions.

As soon as the Fire Rain ended, Wu Shaochen charged forward and started slashing at the illusion. With his attack speed of two strikes per second, he could deal over 1,300 damage per second to the illusion while also regenerating over 130 health per second. With the addition of healing potions, he didn't need to worry about his health at all.

With maximum output, the War God Illusion lasted for less than three minutes before collapsing at Wu Shaochen's feet. He was then teleported out, followed by a system notification.

"Ding! Congratulations on a successful challenge. Your realm has advanced to Silver Rank, gaining +30 to all attributes and 30 freely distributable attribute points. [War God Medal] Bronze Rank has been upgraded to Silver Rank. As the first player to reach Silver Rank, you are rewarded with +30 freely distributable attribute points."

"This is awesome!" Wu Shaochen exclaimed happily. He wondered if the second and third players to advance their realms would receive attribute point rewards as well, but it seemed unlikely. The system only seemed to care about the first. If that was the case, other players wouldn't know about the reward of freely distributable attribute points for being the first to advance their realm. As long as he secured the first place in all future realm advancements, he could quietly make a fortune. Wu Shaochen fantasized about it.

With the attribute points received from the realm advancement (60 points) and the points from killing the boss (60 points), excluding equipment, Wu Shaochen had a total of 120 more attribute points than others. This was what made him invincible at his current stage.

Looking at the Silver Rank War God Medal, which still had straightforward attributes (+30% to all attributes), he quickly equipped it. Then, Wu Shaochen looked at the remaining 80 freely distributable attribute points. With 30 points used for advancing to Silver Rank, 30 points as a system reward, and the additional points from leveling up twice, he had a total of 80 points. Wu Shaochen hesitated for a moment before allocating 40 points each to Constitution and Agility. These two attributes were already quite high for him, and since these were the only attributes he needed, he decided to go all out.

After advancing to the Silver Rank realm and equipping the Silver Rank Medal, Wu Shaochen's overall strength soared once again. He looked at his current attributes:

Looking at his current attributes, Wu Shaochen was satisfied and chose to log out on the spot. After logging out, he took off his helmet and set an alarm clock for 8 hours. Playing games for long periods in recent days had taken a toll on his mental energy, and he was also severely sleep-deprived. Today, he decided to sleep a couple of extra hours. For now, no one should be able to catch up to him. When he woke up, he would have breakfast and then log back in. After setting the alarm clock, Wu Shaochen immediately fell onto the bed and went to sleep. He was truly exhausted.
