Free Web NovelChapter 169: Chapter 71: Wicked Demon Dragon Bone_2
"As long as you’ve heard of that great catastrophe, that’s enough."
"After the humans and demons repelled the invading celestial army, they left behind a forbidden secret technique in our world."
"This secret technique can transform ordinary demonic beasts into cruel, wicked demons."
"Wicked demons are more powerful than the original demonic beasts, so this forbidden technique is inevitably exploited by those with ill intentions."
"And within these forbidden techniques, there’s an even more forbidden technique that involves gathering the remains of numerous wicked demons to summon a wicked demon dragon."
"Aside from being physically powerful, wicked demon dragons are best known for their ability to use sound waves to confuse people’s minds."
"Now, what lies before you is a piece of a wicked demon dragon’s claw bone."
Speaking, the monk flexed his knuckles and gently tapped the surface of the skeleton.
Ding!
A clear sound echoed through the combat arena.
"The hollow bones of the wicked demon dragon can produce enchanting sounds."
"Initially, some larger demonic beasts used the bones of wicked demon dragons as musical instruments."
"But eventually, it evolved into equipment for testing one’s strength."
Having said that, the monk switched to using his palm and slapped it down.
Thwack!
However, this time there was only a thudding sound, and the skeleton made no noise.
Obviously, the finger tapping earlier had some technique to it, but this slap did not.
He switched back to finger tapping.
Ding! Dong!
This time, the skeleton made two different sounds.
Ree Shil noticed that it was two different bone segments making the sound – the first and second segments counted up from the bottom, each with a different tone.
"This bone cannot be played by ordinary strength."
"The stronger the power, the more bone segments that can be made to produce sound."
"The assessment for low-level demon hunters is to make the first section of the bone produce sound."
"If it’s the assessment for senior demon hunters, then at least three segments need to make sounds."
"So, do you understand now?"
The monk looked at him.
"Yes, I understand."
"Very well, now you can start performing your..."
Ding! Dong! Bang! Clang! Hum! ...Crack!
However, before the monk could finish his sentence, Ree Shil used all his strength to strike with his iron stick.
"Woah... Amitabha!"
The monk’s eyes bulged, almost cursing in disbelief.
Five sounds?!
Did he hear that right?!
You have to understand that even his own power can’t achieve the level of five sounds!
Where on earth did Exterminator Thirteen find this monster?!
"Master, that’s some excellent cultivation you’ve got there, being able to suppress the swear words right up to your lips."
Ree Shil switched hands, holding the iron stick with a calm expression, expressing his admiration.
He had put some emotion into that strike.
It was both an unregretful goodbye to the Instance and a way to vent his frustration at being manipulated by the mission panel.
He had put almost all his strength into that single blow.
He hadn’t paid much attention to how many sounds it produced.
What he was more concerned about ... was the numbness in his hand.
This bone was unbelievably hard!
He hadn’t expected the recoil to be so strong that it almost made him lose his grip on the iron stick.
If it weren’t for the need to save face, he would have started frantically shaking his hand already. freēwebnovel.com
As for now, seeing the monk’s monster-like gaze, he couldn’t help but praise himself: very good, very natural.
"Congratulations, you now possess the qualifications to become a senior demon hunter."
"Take this token to the service office, and you’ll be able to register as a true demon hunter."
The monk came to his senses and took out a red medal from his chest.
The medal reflected Ree Shil’s face.
Hum!
His portrait was now displayed on the medal.
"Thank you."
Ree Shil took the medal and walked out of the combat arena without looking back.
The monk who was left behind watched his retreating figure, and couldn’t help but want to sigh: the young truly are to be feared.
Crackle... Rumble!
However, at that moment, the wicked demon dragon’s skeleton beside him suddenly collapsed.
"???"
The monk looked shocked, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
"If you need to pay for it, just deduct it from Exterminator Thirteen’s salary."
He suddenly saw the young boy who had left the message walking away much faster.
With his medal in hand, Ree Shil swiftly left the scene, heading towards the service office as the monk had directed him.
Everything went smoothly, and the series of procedures were completed in no time.
"Congratulations, you are now an official demon hunter."
As the female spirit demon responsible for registration congratulated him and handed him the identity token, she suddenly looked up to find he had already vanished.
...
Hum!
The light column descended, and Ree Shil appeared in the Pure White Space.
"It wasn’t easy..."
Seeing the familiar surroundings, he sighed.
This had been the longest Instance he had ever experienced so far.
Almost 100 days.
Thinking about how only just under 10 days had passed in the Cube Card Metaverse, he couldn’t help but feel emotional.
Such a disparity in the flow of time between both worlds could easily cause one’s perception of age to waver.
However, as a card player, even a pure human’s lifespan would be significantly increased, so the concept of age wasn’t too important anymore.
At that moment, rows of subtitle panels popped up.
[Dungeon Completion Rate-100%] ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
[Gaining Experience Points, calculating...]
[Congratulations, level-up to Level 6]
"After going through so many detours, all I got was 100% completion?"
Ree Shil covered his forehead with a wry smile: "But they did give quite a lot of experience points."
After his last clearing of Isolated Outpost, he was already close to Level 6.
Now, he was at Level 6 with more than half of the experience bar filled, proving that the Demon-eliminating Human Instance gave quite a lot.
He estimated that he’d level up again in the next Instance, reaching Level 7.
