According to Lu Ming's original plan, he had to obtain the Scroll of Deification from the goblin Avani.

  If an ordinary person had taken on this task, Lu Ming wouldn't trouble them as long as they were willing to give it up. But since it's the Dragon Soul team, there's no need for hesitation.

  Kill them all, refresh the task, without a second thought!

  Looking at the field, the players of the Dragon Soul team were hunting demons. Faced with the sudden encirclement by the Undead Legion, everyone was instantly thrown into panic.

  "Damn! The Undead Legion! Nether is nearby!"

  "Don't fight him, that guy's Undead Legion is invincible within level 50. Use the return scroll, retreat!"

  Clearly, having fought Lu Ming many times, they knew him well and understood that they couldn't possibly contend with his unstoppable Undead Legion.

  Without a word, everyone took out the return scrolls they had prepared in advance from their backpacks and crushed them!

  Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

  White light enveloped everyone, initiating a ten-second return guidance.

  However, under Lu Ming's mental control, the Undead Legion didn't give them a chance to return.

  War Tread—

  Life Barrier—

  Wind Rush—

  Prison of Earth—

  With the fourfold formation enhancement, the Undead Legion charged at them with an invincible stance.

  Buzz, buzz, buzz!

  In an instant, blood-red marks appeared on everyone.

  The next second, hundreds of Death Lords simultaneously unleashed Soul Shatter, swarming forward.

  The Dragon Soul team players, under attack, had their return interrupted.

  Without even a chance to resist, they perished amidst a chorus of screams under the massive damage of over 50,000!

  Effortlessly, they annihilated a hundred players from the Dragon Soul team.

  Following Lu Ming's command, the Undead Legion quickly dispersed, searching the entire Goblin Kingdom.

  Meanwhile, through shared vision, Lu Ming clearly scouted every position and corner of the map.

  Finding no other players, he left with Qin Churan and Lin Youwei.

  Compared to how the Dragon Soul team knew the method to open the Gate of Hell, Qin Churan was more puzzled: "This is a hidden map! Are we... just leaving like this?"

  Lu Ming explained, "This place is under the Dragon Soul's control. They'll definitely send more people later. We'll come back later."

  If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  Lu Ming's explanation seemed too forced.

  Even Qin Churan knew that with Lu Ming's current strength, he could dominate the entire second layer. Even if more Dragon Soul members came, it would just be sending heads from miles away.

  But Qin Churan was smart. She knew Lu Ming must have a reason for doing this, so she didn't say much.

  The three left the valley.

  In the shadows, a pair of eyes glared at the receding trio, burning with anger.

  "Nether! Qin Churan!"

  "I swear I won't be human if I don't kill you two!"

  ...

  For Lu Ming, "Among those people just now, there must have been someone who took the task, and their death would force the task to refresh."

  "The task on Avani must have refreshed. We'll go to the black market at six tonight and let Lin Youwei trigger the task!"

  So, before six o'clock in the evening, the focus was on leveling up and farming money.

  Although the third layer, accessible after level 50, also held various opportunities, places like the Nether Ghost Tower, where you could level up and earn money, were rare treasures!

  In this life, Lu Ming needed more than just strength.

  He also needed money!

  The thrill of crushing others with strength was always satisfying, but sometimes Lu Ming wanted to try something different, like Qin Feng, Li Hui, and previously Qin Churan and Qing Yan, experiencing the thrill of conquering others with wealth!

  So, money, power, influence, he wanted them all!

  The three headed straight to the Nether Ghost Tower.

  Considering Qin Churan's level was only 34, and she didn't have a Soul Set, Lu Ming said, "Today we'll farm the fifth realm."

  "No need, just stick to your original plan. I can keep up!" Qin Churan knew Lu Ming was considering her level.

  As she spoke, Qin Churan took out a Soul Set from her bag!

  "You asked me to get a Soul Set for you before, so I got one for myself too," Qin Churan said, looking at Lu Ming. "It's a pity I never got to use it."

  "Luckily, Qin Feng froze all my accounts that could collect money, or I might have sold it already!"

  With that, Qin Churan immediately equipped the Soul Set.

  Under the effect of the Soul Set, the three ignored the level barrier of the Nether Ghost Tower and directly entered the eighth realm: Shadow Nest!

  Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

  Summoning all the Death Lords, they were given automatic monster-killing orders.

  With the 39-times enhanced fourfold E-grade formation, the level 25 Death Lords slaughtered level 46-50 undead monsters like slicing through butter.

  Under the rampant harvesting of the Undead Legion, Lu Ming reaped the benefits.

  The battle notifications rang incessantly in his ears.

  [Ding~ Killed level 49 Undead Mage, Experience Points +5250!]

  [Ding~ Killed level 46 Undead Warrior, Experience Points +4880!]

  [Ding~ Killed level 48 Undead Archer, Experience Points +5110!]

  ...

  The Soul Stones in the bag were accumulating like crazy.

  Lu Ming was thrilled.

  After all, this was all pure money!

  Lin Youwei, as always, was building her little treasury.

  Under Lu Ming's formation enhancement, as a level 24 little mage, she had no pressure solo-killing level 46-50 undead.

  Every time she killed a monster, she would excitedly run over to pick up copper coins one by one, happily storing them in her bag.

  Lin Youwei's pace was slow and leisurely.

  In contrast, Qin Churan on the other side seemed to be moving at ten times the speed.

  Swish, swish, swish, swish!

  Her figure moved like a phantom, weaving through the monster horde at extreme speed.

  The sharp dagger in her hand continuously sliced through the undead around her, leaving deep marks on their bodies.

  -76835!

  -75349!

  -77431!

  ...

  With her base attributes already high and her skill strength also considerable, Qin Churan's damage output, after receiving Lu Ming's formation enhancement, was evidently higher than the Death Lords!

  What shocked Lu Ming was Qin Churan's speed.

  Her speed was almost beyond Lu Ming's ability to visually track, truly astonishing!

  "A level 34 Assassin, even with speed, should be around 2-3 thousand. Even with my Wind Rush's 7000+ boost, it should be just over 10,000."

  "Why does it feel like her speed is far beyond 10,000, even reaching 30-40,000?"

  As Lu Ming pondered this, swish, swish, swish, swish!

  Qin Churan's hand rose and fell, sweeping away the remaining undead around her with terrifying strength.

  Taking advantage of a brief pause after the battle, she looked over at Lu Ming, who was quietly watching her.

  As if guessing what Lu Ming was thinking, she spoke, "My talent is four-star, Godspeed, increasing speed by 200%!"

  So that's it!

  It seemed Lu Ming's guess was correct; with the talent boost, Qin Churan's speed indeed reached over 30,000!

  After a brief recovery, Qin Churan charged back into the monster horde.

  At this moment, the gap between a professional player and mechanical summons was vividly demonstrated.

  Both receiving Lu Ming's formation enhancement, Qin Churan's combat power alone matched that of ten Death Lords!

  "It seems you're still too weak!"

  As he spoke, Lu Ming opened the summon panel.

  With the Death Lords' recent continuous slaying and refining, the accumulated soul power on the panel had reached 5125 points!

  "I can enhance you guys again."

  With that, Lu Ming consumed 3000 soul power points, upgrading the Death Lords' Soul Shatter skill from F-grade to E-grade.

  He then consumed 1000 soul power points to learn a second skill: Soul Slash!

  [Soul Shatter] (E-grade, Lv25): Selects an enemy within 50 yards, marks with a soul imprint, and can execute an instant kill attack dealing (180% attack power +242) damage within 3 seconds; cooldown 9 seconds, cost 152.

  [Soul Slash] (F-grade, Lv25): Deals (130% attack power +255) damage to a close-range single enemy. If the enemy has a soul imprint, the attack damage increases by 50%; cooldown 8 seconds, cost 155.

  "It seems these two skills can be combined into a combo."

  "Let's see how this skill combo works!"

  Lu Ming looked ahead.

  He saw a Death Lord attacking a freshly spawned level 49 Undead Warrior.

  Soul Shatter!

  Soul Slash!

  Swish, swish!

  The Death Lord quickly advanced, executing two consecutive slashing attacks, sword rising and falling.

  -79685!

  -88738!

  [Ding~ Killed level 49 Undead Warrior, Experience Points +5250!]

  Instant kill!
