Chapter 320: Chapter 203: Astonishing Skeleton Monster! (Three-in-one, 5/5)_3
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: The rules for this trial are time-limited kills! After each round of monsters appears, there will be a time limit. Please kill all monsters in each round within this time limit. After each successful kill, you can enter the next round. The attributes of the next round’s monsters will increase by 10% based on the previous round, and the number of monsters will also increase. It has been detected that two of you are participating in this trial instance together. Therefore, the number of monsters in each round will increase according to the number of participants. There are three seconds left before the first round of monsters appears. Please get ready!]
Chen Mo glanced at the instance’s title distribution list. "A dungeon that only offers title rewards? But an SSS-level title isn’t bad; it’s worth several hundred attribute points."
Fang Datong also saw the round and title distribution information displayed by the Heavenly Dao. "SSS-level? Mr. Mo, you must be daydreaming! Getting an A-Class title would be an achievement in itself."
According to the instructions displayed by the Heavenly Dao:
The F-Class title is awarded after completing 5 rounds.
The E-Class title is awarded after completing 14 rounds.
The D-Class title is awarded after completing 20 rounds.
The C-Class title is awarded after completing 25 rounds.
The B-Class title is awarded after completing 29 rounds. This already meets the requirements for the second-tier university score line set by the Academy Alliance.
The A-Class title is awarded after completing 33 rounds. This has already exceeded the requirements for the first-tier university score line set by the Academy Alliance.
The S-level title is awarded after completing 36 rounds. This has already exceeded the requirements for the key university score line set by the Academy Alliance.
The SS level title is awarded after completing 39 rounds. This has already exceeded the requirements for the top-tier university score line set by the Academy Alliance.
The SSS-level title is given for completing an insane 50 rounds.
Because the Academy Alliance had set university admission score lines, Fang Datong knew full well how difficult it was to obtain the corresponding titles. He naturally thought Chen Mo was daydreaming. To get an A-Class title, one needed the ability to reach the second-tier university score line. This alone was something many students struggled to achieve each year.
As the two were talking, a sudden flash of light erupted on the prairie, and two hideously ugly, green-skinned monsters appeared. Chen Mo recognized them instantly; he had killed such ugly goblins before in the Brave Challenger’s Trials.
Upon seeing these two ugly creatures, Fang Datong immediately used an exploration skill on them.
[Goblin]: Life Value: 1,150, Attack: 84, Physical Defense: 186, Magic Defense: 186
As a trash goblin, its attributes were also trash. No Skills, only pure attribute values, and these attribute values were quite low.
The normal attributes of level 10 three-star professionals were basically around a Life Value of 11,000, Attack of 900, and dual defense of around 1,550. Such stats were overwhelmingly superior to those of these two goblins. For a five-stars professional, the stats would be even more crushing. This showed that the monsters at the beginning of this instance were quite weak.
Fang Datong didn’t even ask Chen Mo to summon a Skeleton Monster. He gripped his sword in his right hand and shield in his left, then charged forward.
He suddenly charged towards one goblin and then leaped up, sword flashing. With a SWISH, it struck directly at the goblin’s neck!
Because he hit a weak spot, Fang Datong’s attack triggered a forced critical hit, decapitating the goblin with a single slash and killing it instantly.
Meanwhile, the other goblin reacted and turned to claw at him. Reacting quickly, Fang Datong bashed it with his shield, stunning it on the spot. He then spun around and executed a swift downward cut. The sword fell with a SWISH, striking this goblin’s neck as well.
Hitting the weak spot again triggered another forced critical hit, killing it instantly!
After dispatching the two goblins cleanly, Fang Datong turned to Chen Mo with a smug grin. "Well? How was my performance?"
Chen Mo chuckled. "Pretty good. Your moves were fluid. It looks like you’ve been practicing."
"Of course! What do you think I’ve been doing at home these past few days? I’ve been tirelessly practicing my combat techniques day and night."
Indeed, for regular combat professions, awakening their class wasn’t the end; they still had numerous combat techniques to practice. This was also a mandatory course after entering university. This applied to close-combat professionals like Fang Datong and ranged professionals like Shen Bingbing. All of them needed to undergo rigorous combat training to maximize their combat proficiency.
Not everyone could be like Chen Mo and simply overpower opponents with sheer attributes. Often, in a one-on-one fight, the combat skills of both parties were what truly mattered. The one with superior combat skills often gained an overwhelming advantage. Of course, if one’s attributes reached a completely dominant level, then brute force rendered all techniques useless—strength trumped skill. Legend spoke of ’breaking techniques with strength’ and ’overcoming intellect with strength.’ When an individual’s power becomes so immense that it disregards everything else, all techniques and schemes become laughable.
However, if your opponent isn’t so overwhelmingly strong that they are completely out of your league, your techniques and wisdom can often bridge the fundamental gap between you, securing victory.
Although Chen Mo could currently crush most opponents easily, he still wanted to enter university to learn proper combat techniques. After all, having these techniques was better than having none. He couldn’t guarantee that he could win every battle in his life by simply dispatching a large number of summons to overwhelm the enemy. His personal abilities also needed focused cultivation and enhancement.
