Skeleton God General · Swordsman Taromon! Reincarnation Boost!

First, regarding attributes, it originally only inherited 10% of Qin Feng's attributes, but now it's 30%.

Honestly, this wave directly increased Grey Chicken's overall attributes by nearly two times… except for constitution.

Because Qin Feng is a low-constitution 'squishy'.

So is Grey Chicken.

Next, the Hell Phoenix in its growth stage gained a racial ability: it can choose one of Qin Feng's Bloodline skills or Bloodline Talents to inherit, and can switch it at any time (with a 60-second cooldown).

At this moment, Qin Feng naturally let Grey Chicken inherit the Bloodline Talent of the 'Deathwing Angel Bloodline'.

Immunity to Instant Death effects!

In fact, whether mounts or pets, their innate templates have quite high Superior Resistance, even comparable to a BOSS.

So, under normal circumstances, pets and mounts don't worry too much about Superior Resistance.

But now…

The environment Qin Feng is in has too dense Instant Death energy!

Even an Epic-grade BOSS wouldn't last a second here, dying instantly.

In this situation, only by granting Grey Chicken 'Instant Death Immunity' can it be qualified to fight here.

And then…

Grey Chicken in its growth stage spews stronger flames!

Under the spirit attribute amplification, Grey Chicken's new skill, 'Hellfire,' can deal flame damage equal to 30.58% of the target's maximum health per second!

It was initially only 5% per tick, but because Grey Chicken inherited Qin Feng's super high spirit attribute, the damage increased to 30.58%!

This damage is not true damage; most of it will be offset by flame resistance and damage reduction.

But the key is…

This damage can stack!

At this moment, Grey Chicken has already flapped its wings, flying directly into the distance according to Qin Feng's reminder, and invisibly spitting fire at a 'Bone Dragon'!

——

-2.446 million (Burning)!

-4.892 million (Burning)!

-7.339 million (Burning)!

…

——

The flame resistance and damage reduction of these Bone Dragons combined can reduce flame damage by about fifty times.

But as this flame damage continues to stack, its health bar visibly decreases!

And that Bone Dragon, after being attacked, was completely bewildered.

Which old trickster is ambushing me???

It started flying everywhere, trying to dodge, but the invisible Grey Chicken followed behind, continuously spitting fire.

An invisible contest began in this darkness.

Just 18 seconds after Grey Chicken was deployed.

The last segment of damage, 43.92 million, popped up on that Bone Dragon's health bar!

Then its health was burned away!

The Bone Dragon perished!

One down!

"Although the speed is a bit slow, it's just an Epic-grade pet after all…"

"And it's only in its growth stage."

"If it reaches adulthood and inherits 100% of my attributes, its damage will be even fiercer."

Qin Feng felt all this happening in the darkness and was quite satisfied.

After all, each of the surrounding Bone Dragons has attributes equivalent to an Epic-grade BOSS, and even higher health and damage reduction than a typical Epic-grade BOSS!

For Grey Chicken to defeat one in less than twenty seconds is quite impressive.

Now, it can be said that…

Grey Chicken in its growth stage can finally hold its own.

Indeed.

In this situation, Qin Feng could also bring his Abyssal Puppet over, but there's no need.

Let Grey Chicken get some practice first!

…

So, in the dark space above the Bone Path, part of the God of Bones' challenge, there was a chaotic scene.

The invisible Grey Chicken ambushed everywhere, burning those Bone Dragons into bone dust!

About ten minutes later.

Qin Feng recalled Grey Chicken to its pet space, and it flapped its wings, flying back to the starting point of the Bone Path.

"Now, it's quiet."

"It feels so good not to be slowed down!"

Qin Feng smiled faintly.

His Death Wings moved behind him, instantly propelling him into the challenge area of the Bone Path!

——

[Challenge initiated, timer started!]

——

Just as the system notification sounded in Qin Feng's mind, he had already rushed several kilometers along the Bone Path!

Shadow Warp!

Shadow Warp!

Honestly, the travel speed of this skill is still faster than Qin Feng's pure flight.

So Qin Feng flew rapidly while casting Shadow Warp, traversing like a rocket. At this speed, even if he wasn't invisible, no one could clearly see his figure with the naked eye!

Behind him, above.

The bodies of the thirty Bone Dragons had been burned to ashes by Grey Chicken, no longer able to launch targeted slowing attacks on Qin Feng…

10 seconds.

20 seconds.

30 seconds.

Qin Feng quickly rushed over a hundred kilometers, and then the Bone Path featured turns, and even inclines and declines.

The consequence of this was that the positions of the wall lamps and the cycle of releasing the defensive barrier changed, thus affecting the challenger's judgment.

But now, Qin Feng didn't need to hide in the defensive barrier of the wall lamps at all.

One word: Charge!

Due to some bends and inclines, Qin Feng's speed was slightly affected.

Finally, at the 77-second mark, Qin Feng reached the end of the Bone Path—a tightly closed gate, in front of which were more than a dozen Bone Steps, with a shimmering treasure chest in the middle of the steps.

It wasn't until Qin Feng rushed past the finish line.

And stood on the Bone Steps!

Only then did the shimmering treasure chest finally solidify, and based on the time Qin Feng spent on this challenge…

The treasure chest emitted a deep red light.

"Mythic-grade?"

"Only Mythic-grade?"

Qin Feng was immediately very disappointed when he saw the color of the treasure chest!

You know, even the divinity armament 'Bone Authority' given to him before entering the tomb was already Mythic-grade equipment.

He entered the tomb, went through 'hardships' to complete a challenge, and even achieved the best result, yet the treasure chest was only Mythic-grade?

Is this reasonable?

However, a system notification soon sounded in Qin Feng's mind, making him pause.

"So this treasure chest is just a secondary reward, and Mythic-grade is already the peak?"

"And the true core reward… is an upgrade for the 'Bone Authority' ring!"

"My challenge speed and score this time ranked in the highest tier, so the 'Bone Authority' ring gained nine more layers of seals… Each layer of seal unlocked can add an additional Order and enhance the ring's attributes!"

Holy crap.

Qin Feng was utterly shocked.

Nine layers of seals, nine extra Orders!

This is too abnormal!

You know, an average player has at most 10 pieces of equipment, which can add at most 10 Order effects.

But…

Qin Feng can now add 10 Orders with one ring, making a total of 19 across his whole body!

This was the core reward for his challenge, which only took 77 seconds!

"Nine is the ultimate number."

"This should already be the best reward for this challenge."

"Although collecting three bone runes is enough to obtain the Mythic-grade divinity armament 'Bone Authority,' the ultimate form of this equipment requires unlocking nine layers of seals!"

"And other people's Bone Authority… will be difficult to reach nine layers!"

Maybe three layers, four layers, and powerful ones might reach six or seven layers.

Qin Feng didn't know what the conditions were to add nine layers of seals to Bone Authority… but in short, this challenge would definitely take into account the challenger's level, attributes, and other aspects for judgment.

Qin Feng glanced at his current 'Bone Authority'.

Aside from gaining nine layers of seals, there were no other changes for now. To unlock the seals, it was still the same as before: kill undead demonic creatures of the bone type, which wasn't difficult.

Immediately after, Qin Feng took a step forward, arriving before the deep red glowing treasure chest.

Opening the treasure chest…

As per custom, the treasure chest reward was certainly random. After Qin Feng opened the chest, before he could even see what was inside, he heard another system notification:

——

[Congratulations, your performance in the Bone Path challenge has earned the appreciation of the God of Bones!]

[You have gained qualification for a further challenge!]

[If confirmed, please push open the Bone Gate before you and challenge 'Skeleton God General · Swordsman Taromon'!]

[Warning: This challenge will inevitably lead to your Death, but if you can deal more damage to the Skeleton God General before dying, your ranking will be higher. A permanent buff, the Reincarnation Boost, will be awarded based on your overall civilization ranking.]

[Hint: If you rank first, you will receive an additional 90% damage reduction Reincarnation Boost attribute reward!]

[Hint: After receiving the reward, your boost attributes will change in real-time based on the real-time ranking of this challenge!]

——

"Skeleton God General · Swordsman Taromon?"

"This is a bit much, isn't it?"

Qin Feng was a bit dumbfounded.

Because he had seen this name in ancient texts, and even in the Ancient God Language Asha Hess taught him, there were specific characters referring to this guy.

Because…

This guy was once a personal guard warrior under the God of Bones. In terms of tier and strength, even if he couldn't compare to Asha Hess, he wouldn't be too far off!

Behind the Bone Gate in front of him…

Could it be the true form of Skeleton God General · Swordsman Taromon?

"No, if it were an existence of that level, this person could kill me with a single glance."

"There must be some restrictions…"

"Anyway, getting 90% additional damage reduction for ranking first is too outrageous."

Once this damage reduction attribute is obtained.

Any damage Qin Feng receives in the future will be reduced by 90%, meaning only one-tenth of the original damage remains!

Previously, the Evil Sound Old Ghost's attacks on Qin Feng dealt over 50,000 damage per hit.

With such an attribute, the hit damage would only be a little over 5,000.

What does this mean?

Anyone who has played games understands!

"However… achieving the top rank across all civilizations is no easy feat."

"Moreover, if I'm first now, and someone surpasses me later, my reward attributes will also decrease accordingly…"

"As expected of a rare Reincarnation Boost challenge!"

Qin Feng had heard of the term 'Reincarnation Boost' before, but it was rumored to be extremely difficult to trigger.

In his previous life… no, the life before that, Qin Feng only heard that Master Tuchar from India passed a challenge of a Pure Ancient God and obtained a Reincarnation Boost that gave him over 200% cooldown speed.

This made Qin Feng feel that the Reincarnation Boost didn't seem that impressive?

After all, in the later stages, a Mythic-grade equipment piece could provide four to five hundred percent cooldown speed.

"But now it seems that Master Tuchar simply didn't achieve a high enough rank in the challenge."

"Otherwise, that cooldown speed attribute might not have been just over 200, but over 2,000, or even higher!"

Facing such an opportunity, Qin Feng naturally wouldn't miss it.

And…

It would be best to achieve a score that later challengers could never surpass, and then claim first place!
