Chapter 69: Chapter 55 The So-Called Justice

Throughout the sky, that magnificent voice echoed across the entire battlefield.

"I grant you permission to continue your promotion!"

In the blink of an eye.

The Book of the Dead emitted a bone-chilling, frigid aura.

Rows of ice crystal letters emerged:

"You have earned the affirmation of the battlefield’s leader, you may advance to the next stage. And you have obtained a promotion skill."

"Furthermore, you have received the Deep Cold Blessing of the bone dragon."

"The trial has concluded, you will be teleported back to your original world in three minutes."

Wu Xiaode glanced at the skeleton beside him, only to see it standing there, stunned.

"I actually succeeded, and I’m just a skeleton soldier..."

It sobbed, touching its cheeks with its hands, only to discover there were bones but no tears, then, like remembering something, it turned back to look at Wu Xiaode.

Bang!

Amidst a loud noise, two stars appeared above the skeleton’s head.

The stars turned into fluttering points of light, merging into Wu Xiaode’s body.

At the same time, rows of letters appeared on the Book of the Dead:

"You have received the admiration and gratitude of the nameless skeleton."

"Appreciation Level: Two Stars."

"The book has resonated with the soul of the nameless skeleton and has extracted an Undead Skill from it:

"Embrace the Blaze."

"Would you like to master this skill?"

——There really is such a skill!

But who would use such a skill as their ultimate move?

If you could hug the opponent, you could bite them to death too. Why resort to mutual destruction?

Wu Xiaode immediately said, "No, offer it up to ’Silent Demon Mist’ as sustenance."

New lines of ice crystal letters subsequently emerged:

"You have sacrificed ’Embrace the Blaze’ to ’Silent Demon Mist’."

"Current upgrade progress: 4/10."

"Please make sure to upgrade the level of ’Silent Demon Mist’ as soon as possible."

"Whether on the court, in the streets, or on the battlefield, someone as dirty as you, especially needs such skills."

——You sister!

All these abilities are mine, so why can you blatantly mock me like this?

Wu Xiaode felt secretly displeased.

"Brother, what’s your turf? Let’s exchange contact information," said the skeleton, producing a shiny bone.

——Is that a bone phone?

I’ve never dealt with skeletons before. I don’t know how to leave contact info.

I can’t expose myself!

Wu Xiaode’s mind raced with thoughts, and his expression became cold and haughty:

"There’s no need to exchange contact info."

"Why?" asked the skeleton.

"Keep working hard. As long as you chase with all your might, we can meet again in the next trial," said Wu Xiaode.

The skeleton trembled, exclaiming in a loss of voice, "Big brother, it’s hard to reach 20 soul power points."

Oh, so the next promotion is at 20 soul power points.

"You can do it," Wu Xiaode said with a smile.

He gazed into the distance.

He saw countless Low Soldier Level members of the undead being teleported away, while those emanating a powerful presence, the High-level Undead, were beginning to make their appearance.

——The war was moving into the next phase.

The next moment.

Wu Xiaode’s teleportation began.

His figure slowly faded, quietly leaving from this section of the battlefield.

The skeleton stood in place for a while, murmuring softly, "It’s fine. Being a skeleton captain isn’t that impressive. I need to keep getting stronger!"

Whoosh——

It too disappeared from the battlefield.

...

Wu Xiaode stood in a room.

A mist shrouded him, swirling continuously, eventually dispersing into invisibility.

Indeed.

The "illusion" ability of the Silent Demon Mist could conceal his tracks.

The first time he came into contact with it, the Book of the Dead had hinted that it was "impossible to investigate, impossible to dissipate."

It was equivalent to an illusion that could not be dispelled.

Then.

What would be the effect if it reached Level 1?

While Wu Xiaode was pondering, the Book of the Dead quietly appeared.

Rows of ice crystal letters, radiating a sinister chill, appeared on the pages:

"Please continue to sacrifice various skills to help elevate the level of the Silent Demon Mist."

"Your ’Undead Protection’ is still in effect, remaining time: 9 minutes."

Wu Xiaode nodded silently.

Death-related skills were the foundation of his existence; he needed to act quickly.

Then new prompt runes also appeared:

"Having completed the trial, your soul power value has increased. The current value is:

"10/11."

Finally over 10 points!

Wu Xiaode felt a surge of joy but noticed that new lines of ice crystal letters were emerging on the page:

"You have preliminarily obtained the recognition of the Undead clan, recognized as promising material among the Lower Soldiers."

"You have received the ’Deep Cold Blessing’ of the bone dragon."

"Note: All beings below Level 60 will be frozen by the chilling aura from the Death Abyss."

"Duration: 3 seconds."

"Uses: 1 time."

"Spell: ’Embrace the Frost.’

"You have been promoted."

"You will soon receive a promotion skill. Please choose from the following three abilities:"

"1, Ghost Fire Slash: Your slashes carry ghost fire damage (Upper Soldier Level skill);"

"2, Phase Shuttling: You can appear anywhere within a ten-meter radius at will, once a day (Upper Soldier Level skill);"

"3, Charge: Maintain an attacking charge state within three meters of your enemy for 10 seconds to unleash double damage (Lower Soldier Level skill);"

Wu Xiaode skimmed through, quickly grasping the strengths and weaknesses of the three abilities.

Ghost Fire Slash would surely be useful.

Phase Shuttling was not bad either.

But "Charge" was far inferior, as it required maintaining an attacking charge state within three meters of the enemy for 10 seconds.

Within three meters.

Wasn’t that suicidal?

And maintaining charge for 10 seconds meant you have to let the enemy attack you for 10 seconds.
