"Junior, what's wrong? What were you thinking about just now?"

"Don't be too nervous. If you can't break the clearance record, I'll think of another way to help you."

"Or we can go to Ruoxi, the principal. She'll definitely have a solution..."

Nangong Ling thought Lin Yi was anxious over the issue of credits.

Unaware, just in the last ten minutes, Lin Yi had advanced his Thunder Skills from initial level to Tier Nine Forbidden Curse.

And then upgraded his Tier Seven mana recovery passive skill to Tier Eight.

All of which are earth-shattering events.

Yet Lin Yi seemed only distracted.

"Uh... nothing, nothing. I was indeed thinking about something just now."

"Not nervous."

Lin Yi laughed awkwardly to ease his embarrassment.

Upon entering the Dungeon Sanctuary, Lin Yi found numerous entrances to the giant circular tower.

At the moment, besides himself and Nangong Ling, there were many Shenxiao students queuing to enter.

The two chose an entrance with fewer people.

Soon it was Lin Yi and Nangong Ling's turn.

At the entrance, a fully armed Shenxiao school security officer, whose strength showed as Sixth Transformation under the Eye of Omniscience, raised their hand to stop them.

"Please halt, both of you, and swipe your card to confirm entry count."

They took out their student cards and scanned them on the Spirit Crystal Card Reader.

The green light then lit up.

[Lin Yi, Nuwa Academy, 1st Year, Remaining entries today: 10]

[Nangong Ling, Nuwa Academy, 3rd Year, Remaining entries today: 78]

Lin Yi saw Nangong Ling's entry count.

He instantly felt a bit envious.

Nangong Ling clenched her fist and smiled, "Don't look down on your senior sister just yet. I might not be in Shenxiao's Ten Elites, but my rankings are still top 100 across the school!"

"Miss Nangong is amazing!"

Lin Yi's compliment was sincere.

A second-year senior with a C-level rating and ranked over three thousand still seemed incredibly strong to Lin Yi.

Nangong Ling being in Shenxiao's top hundred means her strength was undoubtedly formidable.

During the brief time entering the space.

Lin Yi opened his skill bar again.

He glanced at the two new passive skills, Holy Spirit Chant and Elemental Absorption.

Fortunately, neither of these skills were lengthy.

Unlike Magic Tide, which turned into a lengthy essay.

[Holy Spirit Chant]

[Type: Passive Skill]

[Tier: Eight]

[System: General]

[Effect 1: When casting Tier Six or below spells, they become instantaneous. Tier Seven spell's chanting time is reduced by 90%, Tier Eight's by 75%, and Tier Nine's chanting time is halved.]

[Effect 2: Now, when you cast spells, you have an invisible elemental spirit chanting spells for you, with chanting times equal to yours. It won't be interrupted by any skills below Tier Eight, silence, or ban magic types.]

[Effect 3: Every six hours, you gain one instant chant effect layer, allowing you to cast Tier Nine or below spells without chanting time. Current layers: 3, Maximum stack layers: 10.]

[You can consume 10 layers of instant chant effect to cast a Tier Nine spell instantaneously.]

[Note: Song of the Holy Spirit, echoing through the heavens.]

——————————————————————

[Elemental Absorption]

[Type: Passive Skill]

[Tier: Eight]

[System: General]

[Effect 1: When receiving damage from any element you have mastered specialization, it will be absorbed, converting 30% into a shield protecting against corresponding elemental damage.]

[Current mastered element types: Flame, Storm, Ice, Thunder]

[The maximum shield value through this effect: 999999]

[Effect 2: You can now convert any elemental shield into an All-Purpose Shield at 30% ratio, protecting against any damage type except true damage.]

[Effect 3: If a fatal damage that would zero your Life Value occurs, it will be entirely absorbed by your Mana Value. Damage exceeding Mana Value will be nullified.]

[After triggering this effect, your Mana Value becomes zero, Life Value drops to 1 point.]

[This effect can trigger only twice in 30 days, remaining triggers: 2]

Both skills significantly improved.

The second effect of Holy Spirit Chant transformed qualitatively.

Now if Lin Yi uses non-instant cast methods, he doesn't need to chant the spells himself.

An invisible spirit will help him cast spells.

This greatly enhances the Mage's unpredictability!

Possibly, he could be joking around casually one moment.

Meanwhile, a spirit might be discreetly chanting a forbidden curse at you!

His survival skills also changed significantly.

Currently, elements Lin Yi specializes in can't harm him anymore.

They even turn into his shield value.

Worth mentioning, Necromancy Element isn't an elemental type but a unique system.

Even Lin Yi's Corpse Explosion Skill causes dark attribute damage, not necromancy damage.

Hence, there's no existence of a necromancy shield.

Overall, Lin Yi feels his strength surged remarkably.

Now, as he wishes, casting a forbidden curse without cost or chanting is easily achievable.

"Both students, you're clear to enter, please proceed."

The guard, verifying their identities and entry counts, immediately let them through.

Lin Yi and Nangong Ling stepped in.

After a brief moment of dizziness, Lin Yi found himself on a massive plaza.

The Dungeon Sanctuary's interior was more expansive than the outside seen circular tower!

Inside the entire first-floor space, Lin Yi saw numerous large and small light screens.

People flowed in and out of each screen.

A bustling scene.

"The first floor of Dungeon Sanctuary is mainly for entry-level and advanced dungeons. Newcomers to Shenxiao and those just promoted to second-year spend most of their time here daily."

"But you needn't worry. This year's recruitment hasn't officially started; you're here early."

"So basic entry-level dungeons like Sky Temple won't have many people queueing for competition."

As Nangong Ling finished speaking.

The entire first floor of the Dungeon Sanctuary announced:

[Shenxiao Dungeon Sanctuary Area Announcement!]

[Congratulations to the practitioner: Chu Qiu for clearing the first-floor dungeon: Sky Temple! Clearance time: 5 minutes 49 seconds 22!]

[This refreshes the previous single-best clearance record for the dungeon, rewarding 250 credits. Keep up the good work!]

Nangong Ling was surprised, covering her mouth.

She underestimated the competitiveness of this freshman batch, clearly not only Lin Yi. Others were enrolling early today.

And they targeted the dungeon credits!

Moreover, someone had already refreshed the best clearance record of this dungeon before Lin Yi!
