Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Breath of Thunder (Thanks to Yi Meng Floating Butcher and Shen Yu Yi Chen for their rewards)

Yanyun Middle School’s Art Gallery is arguably the most eye-catching building in the school.

Located on the edge of the campus, its tall design and wide land area make it easy for students to see it from any corner of the school.

After all, it was originally designed for stage play rehearsals and choir performances, so it being big is normal.

Usually, except for those dating couples who sneak around, there aren’t many people here, making it the main reason Li Changhe chose to change his outfit and enter the [Task] here.

Li Changhe miscalculated one thing - usually, there would be no people.

But today is the school’s anniversary celebration, and there are many students who have gotten tired from playing and chose to rest here.

For example, right now on the first floor of the art gallery, a young couple is amorously strolling along a corridor. They have obviously grown tired from the celebration events and are looking for a place to rest.

Suddenly, the male student frowned and looked at a storage room not far away, asking, "Did you hear any noise just now?"

"Maybe someone is in there getting intimate. Let’s not meddle in their affairs," the girl laughed in response.

"But it sounds like... thunder," the boy still sounded suspicious.

The next moment, as if to confirm the boy’s guess, the storage room’s door was violently kicked open.

A figure wearing a dog-head mask and a Guardian costume appeared before the couple, making a heavy steampunk breathing sound.

The couple was shocked, wondering which class activity this character was from.

The boy quickly reacted, stepping in front of his girlfriend, and showing off his protective side.

"Which class are you from? Are you doing cosplay?" the boy wanted to impress his girlfriend with his calm demeanor.

He then saw an eerie figure appear behind the dog-head cosplayer, with its floating black hair waving like spider legs. He felt a warning from all over his body - that was the fear of the living towards the dead.

"...A ghost!" the boy screamed in terror, grabbing his equally shocked girlfriend and running away. His efforts to "protect" his girlfriend went to waste...

Naturally, the dog-head cosplayer was Li Changhe, and the figure behind him was the ghost Yun Ting.

Yun Ting whispered in astonishment, "I thought everyone was like you guys, not afraid of ghosts? It turns out, you guys are the special ones."

Li Changhe didn’t respond to her, and in his mind calculated the shortest distance to his destination before taking a deep breath, like a powerful engine starting inside his body.

[Breath of Thunder lv1]

[Type:Attribute Enhancement]

[Effect: Agility +1, creates the sound of thunder when used, generates a lightning trail when moving]

[Consumption: 1% physical strength value every 5 seconds]

[Note: Concentrate and reach the pinnacle!]

This was the effect of Xiao Nan’s [Immaculate Breathing Skill], which had a chance to comprehend a Breathing Skill. It was a powerful skill that increased Li Changhe’s attributes.

"What a careless mistake! Is this how Great Wall handles things? What’s the difference between this and garbage!" Li Changhe roared, blaming Yang Dong. His impression of [Great Wall] had gone beyond terrible. So this is how you protected my friend? Go to hell, you official organization!

He didn’t even try to hide his presence.

Stepping heavily on the floor, he broke the tiles, with faint lightning surrounding him. In an instant, he overtook the screaming couple and kicked the wooden doors at the end of the corridor.

If this were the Li Changhe before the [Task], he would have hurt himself terribly crashing into the doors.

Now, Li Changhe had added his free attribute points to his physique.

Originally, his physique attribute was 8, with a note saying [Extremely Resistant]

After the brief increase from [Immaculate Breathing Skill], it became 8+1. The note changed to [Mortal Limit], which meant reaching the pinnacle of human physical strength through training.

Now, his physique attribute was 9+1, with the note [Copper Skin and Iron Bones]

This was Li Changhe’s plan, to increase his physique in order to handle the burden of Yun Ting’s possession.

Yang Dong had told the Earth Knight initially that after a basic attribute reaches 10 points, a trait will be triggered to enhance combat capabilities. That’s what it was about!

[Physique Feature: Copper Skin and Iron Bones]

[Requirement: Base Physical Attribute of 10 points]

[Effect 1: Strength +1, the extreme physical body signifies that your destructive power will also increase.]

[Effect 2: Full body hardness strengthened, difficult to be injured by knives and swords]

In other words, Li Changhe, who is only at Lv2, now has a terrifying set of attributes.

[Strength] and [Agility] are both 7+1+1

[Energy] also changed to 5+2+1 due to Yun Ting’s possession

[Physique] has even reached 9+1

Li Changhe has none of the four most important attributes below 8 points, far surpassing the [Earth Knight] he had just met.

As for the authenticity, Li Changhe doesn’t have time to try it out, he is in a hurry now!

Mustering enough strength, he kicked the thick wooden door. The 10 cm thick soundproof wooden door was kicked and flew several meters away.

The students and teachers in the projection room didn’t have time to react and were bewildered.

The couple in the hallway screamed even more, rolling and crawling in another direction while shouting that it was a ghost!

The resting students in the projection room finally saw the figure breaking out of the door.

From the comical dog-face mask, lightning flashes emanated, and the breathing sounds coming from it made people feel like it was thunder.

But that was it. The worldly students would think it was some kind of prank. However, when they just wanted to say something, everyone’s faces froze. They felt physical discomfort and resistance.

An eerie phantom stood behind the dog-headed figure, its long hair waving like tentacles, emitting a heart-palpitating scream.

Previously, both Li Changhe the [Player] and the [Earth Knight] felt fear and discomfort under Yun Ting’s aura. Let alone these students.

No one doubted the authenticity of the phantom, and the students retreated in chaos, leaving the entire hall in disarray.

Li Changhe faintly sensed that the two had stopped their steps and even made preparations for attack. He instantly guessed that there were [Players] amongst the students of Yanyun High School, and they were in this hall! Not all nearby [Players] would accept the [Task]. Like them.

Facing the sudden appearance of himself, they all showed hostility! Perhaps they regarded him as a ghost.

If it had been an ordinary time, Li Changhe would have fought with them, at least to ascertain their identities, and see if there was any danger.

But now, there’s no time to deal with them!

"Get out of the way! [Great Wall] is on the case!"

No time to explain, just use [Great Wall] as a command!

The two hesitated for a moment and retreated. Anyone who could say the two words [Great Wall] must be a [Player] as well. No one wanted to take care of [Player]’s business, let alone [Great Wall] players.

Li Changhe didn’t delay, not even looking at the two. He leaped out more than three meters high, grabbed the railing of the second floor of the projection room, and disappeared into the entrance and exit of the second floor with a flip.

The two [Players] in the projection room saw this and their faces changed dramatically.

"Just based on this strength and speed, the level must be no less than Lv5! There is such a high level in Yanyun Middle School?"

"Why bother with that? I sense many [Players] rushing towards us like crazy. The scale must be huge for [Great Wall] not wanting to be discovered. Let’s hurry!"

"I wonder what happened? To dare to act so boldly... Are they not concerned about the confidentiality of [Evolution Game]?"

They guessed correctly, not only was Li Changhe in a hurry. Those [Great Wall Players] guarding the surroundings were also anxious and stamping their feet. Yang Dong’s face was even paler as he sprinted wildly towards the art gallery, not caring about exposing himself or not. At worst, they could hypnotize all the students in the college at once!

But today was the school celebration, and there were too many people at Yanyun High School. This caused the rescue of the [Great Wall] players to be somewhat delayed. The fastest would take at least 5 minutes! Can Xiaonan hold on for five more minutes?

"I must make it in time!"

Just as Yang Dong frantically rushed over and Li Changhe entered the second floor, outside the multimedia conference room on the fifth floor.

[Unseen Red Dust] already had a cold smile and was only one door away from Xiao Nan.

"Today, Demon Baal will change hands!"
