Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger

Compared to the Under-King Nine Shadows physique talent, Xu Lang's interest in the Mad King's Emblem was actually far less intense.

Right now, he took out the Mad King's Emblem and fastened it to his chest.

Instantly, a surge of majestic power flooded his entire body, sharply elevating his essence, energy, and spirit.

Xu Lang opened his information panel and expanded all attribute bonuses, discovering that Ghostly Deity Power, Seven Killings Blood Qi, and Mystic Origin True Qi were also within the Mad King's Emblem's enhancement range!

Full attribute boost, terrifying to such a degree!

A medal was already a rare accessory in itself; this Mad King's Emblem, he estimated, would serve him for a long time.

"After the Constitution Breakthrough, it's the Spirit Breakthrough!"

Xu Lang rubbed his chin, hesitated for a moment, then began upgrading Soul of Burning Steel.

This upgrade was absolutely necessary. The difficulty of the Mad King Trial at the 1200-point threshold was extremely high, and his mental-type skills weren't numerous.

Since the Mystic Sovereign Meditation Art had never once blessed the Soul of Burning Steel, Xu Lang had no choice but to huff and puff his way up, starting from level 15.

[Soul of Burning Steel consumes 10,000 Nightmare Coins, upgraded to Level 16]

[Soul of Burning Steel consumes 12,500 Nightmare Coins, upgraded to Level 17]

[Soul of Burning Steel consumes 15,000 Nightmare Coins, upgraded to Level 18]

[Soul of Burning Steel consumes 17,500 Nightmare Coins, upgraded to Level 19]

[Soul of Burning Steel consumes 22,000 Nightmare Coins, upgraded to Level 20. Please choose an upgrade direction.]

[One, Steel Soul Eternal (Epic): Soul resistance increased by 30%. With an iron will, condense a layer of "Soul Steel Armor" over the soul. While the armor exists, immunity to all mental control, fear, and confusion effects. When the armor shatters, release a single "Soul Detonation," dealing mental shock to surrounding enemies.]

[Two, Steel Flame Scorch (Epic): The heaviness of steel fuses with the heat of the soul, igniting an eternally burning "Steel Flame." Any existence that peers into your spiritual sea will be scorched by the Steel Flame, taking true damage.]

[Three, Soul Furnace (Epic): Activate the "Soul Furnace" state for 30 seconds. During this time, all damage received is absorbed by the "Furnace" and converted into temporary Spiritual Energy. When the state ends, release a single "Melted Iron Fury Flame," dealing damage equal to 50% of the total absorbed damage. This attack covers both mental and physical domains.]

There was nothing to hesitate about; Xu Lang directly chose Steel Soul Eternal.

Thirty percent soul resilience enhancement - the cost-performance ratio was sky-high.

He needed to remember that his soul resilience was already quite formidable to begin with. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to unleash the Abyss Demon Eye so recklessly without fear of backlash.

His own skills seemed to have no consumption, usable however he wished in battle, carefree and unrestrained, but in truth, all of this relied on his sturdy base attributes for support; otherwise, it would be harming the enemy eight hundred while injuring oneself a thousand.

"World-Burning Immortal Flame, Abyss Demon Eye, Eye Technique: Grand Dream Samsara, Soul of Burning Steel, and seven mental talents - that should be enough."

With that thought, Xu Lang began the Spirit Trial.

It wasn't that he was being reckless now, but rather that Nightmare Essence was scarce, he himself was tough enough, and he had already figured out the difficulty of the Mad King Trial. Otherwise, he would certainly have simulated first.

If things went truly south and he died, Senior Sister Red Butterfly could still resurrect him.

Secondly, there were so many Herd Spirits in the Grave Pasture that dying a few times didn't matter.

At this point, ordinary dungeons and disasters couldn't kill Xu Lang.

His opponents were the Dorm Survival Game, dormitory buildings like Mad King Building and Heaven's Judgment Building, and the indescribable great demons and monsters within the Blood Mist World - not some singular, powerful entity.

One could say that Xu Lang was walking further and further down this inhuman path.

...

When undertaking the Mad King Trial, the player would directly disappear from the present world.

Furthermore, when Xu Lang was conducting the Mad King Trial, he had also informed Cao Yaxuan and the others, so they all knew what Xu Lang was doing right now.

None of the women were worried; instead, they were all very curious about what talent Xu Lang would obtain.

Tong Qi: "This is a complete talent compendium collected by Teacher Sherry. We can take a look and use it for reference!"

Cao Yaxuan: "The attributes and talents of ordinary players aren't worth referencing at all. The Mad King Trial is different from the regular Limit Break Trial!"

Tong Qi: "You're underestimating Teacher Sherry now. We just found out that Heaven's Judgment players also have a Heaven's Judgment Trial, and they can even do it in groups."

Han Zhixiu: "Really or not, let me see!"

Xu Ruyan: "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Heaven's Judgment Building sure treats its players well!"

"..."

Chi Qingman listened to the chatter, a sweet smile spreading across her face.

Although she had never participated in a Building War, she also knew that Building War was a more dangerous game mode than regular dungeon instances. Yet the women could still be so composed - how could this not make her delighted?

She was determined to be a freeloader at the Mad King Building!

All she had to do was butter up Xu Lang and avoid getting kicked out!

So satisfying!

"I wonder how the players from the other three dormitory buildings are doing."

Chi Qingman thought this as she quietly got off her bed and glanced at the monitoring screen. Seeing magma starting to drip from the outside air, she couldn't help but feel a chill on her scalp.

With such high temperatures, even players with attributes over a hundred would probably be cooked to death, right?

"God bless, let fewer people die!"

"Bah! The players from the other three buildings had better die more!"

Chi Qingman muttered under her breath when suddenly someone tapped her shoulder, making her jump with a violent startle.

"Sister Yazhi, what's wrong?" Chi Qingman clutched her little heart and asked in a low voice.

She was a bit afraid of Wang Yazhi, because Yazhi's temperament was too cold and aloof - even colder than Cao Yaxuan - and she felt she wasn't easy to talk to.

"I'm going to the Training Room. I also want to offer incense to the Guardian Spirits." Wang Yazhi was also approaching her Limit Break Trial, so she wanted to step up her training.

The cultivation techniques that Xu Lang had fused for the women were at least Legendary rank, so their attribute accumulation wasn't slow either.

"Oh, oh, I see!"

"What were you just saying? Were you scared?"

"No, no, I didn't say anything. Please go ahead and get busy!"

After a few exchanges with Wang Yazhi, Chi Qingman felt like she was about to break out in a sweat.

Wang Yazhi shook her head. She had originally wanted to delegate the task of feeding the Guardian Spirits to Chi Qingman, but now she had to go herself.

With the weather so hot outside, the four Guardian Spirits had naturally been relocated indoors. At this moment, the Incense had already burned out, and they were all eagerly waiting.

After feeding all four Guardian Spirits, Wang Yazhi prepared to head to the Training Room.

The Training Room of Demon King Castle, as long as one paid Copper Coins, had the effect of assisting cultivation - its use was still considerable.

"Owoo!"

Suddenly, Lion Cub let out an "owo," and a line of prompts transmitted to Wang Yazhi's panel.

[Lion Cub activates the "Diting" skill, overhearing important intelligence about the Lava World: In the deepest part of the extremely hot magma, at the place of the highest temperature, there is a Lava Giant Beast, guarding a priceless "Lava Core" day and night.]

Wang Yazhi: ???

So that's how Lion Cub's Diting skill could be used?
