Kong Yuan slowly rose from a recliner and looked at Zi Liyuan. His originally good mood vanished in an instant.
“Thank you for the guidance, senior. May I know where the class change chamber is this time?”
He courteously thanked the other party for the reminder, but as for whether he would follow it, Zi Liyuan was certain he wouldn’t!
With his strength, was it really that hard to topple a Lord Boss? Did they really think he had been preparing for nothing these days?
“For the silver quest, only the special chamber number 0 can be used. Enter by yourself, pour 10 bottles of hero-level monster blood onto the rune pattern inside, and that will activate the Teleportation Array,” the senior instructed as he waved his hand and pointed in the direction of chamber number 0, before reclining back into his chair.
“Alright, thank you, senior.”
Walking straight into class change chamber number o, Zi Liyuan took out the Boss blood obtained from a hero Boss from his Spatial Backpack and poured it bottle by bottle onto the circular rune pattern on the ground.
When the fresh red blood dyed all of the rune patterns, a red vortex suddenly appeared, instantly sucking Zi Liyuan in.
“Shit! This brat used hero Boss blood again! Ifyou want to die, don’t drag me into it?!”
Kong Yuan’s extremely frustrated figure suddenly appeared in the now-empty room, his face as unsightly as if he’d lost his dad, feeling the thick stench of blood and the violent energy filling the room.
He had warned this fool already, and yet he still sought death like this. If he were to die in the class change instance, wouldn’t it mean all his year-end bonus and Contribution Value went down the drain?
Class change instance space.
It was still a football field-sized platform with a Skeleton in a robe and wearing a crown standing quietly in the center.

Zi Liyuan: (IAI)…
Looking at the Necromancer with a pile of skills from three different categories, Zi Liyuan felt like crying but had no tears.
Especially upon seeing the Corpse Explosion Technique, his face almost turned green.
This was a world where a game had invaded reality, so some skills didn’t differentiate between friend and foe!
For instance, most forbidden spells could even affect the caster themselves.
Among those with death-related classes, the Corpse Explosion Technique was definitely a skill that did not differentiate between allies and enemies. Any corpse, except for elementals and mechanical beings, could be exploded!
It could be said that classes capable of using the Corpse Explosion Technique were natural bane to summoner classes.
Unfortunately for Zi Liyuan, his primary strategy was the Skeleton Sea, exactly what this guy could harshly counter!
Not to mention, this guy’s skills had all reached LV9 compared to their level 1 versions, greatly enhancing his summoned creatures.
Fortunately, Zi Liyuan was well-prepared for the fight. In order to deal with this foe, he had done his homework and had stocked up on quite a few items.
With his current 278 Spirit points, he could control 278 skeletons, and with his LV9 Skeleton Summoning, he could summon 256 at a time—almost a full army in one go.
So, with a grand wave of his hand, a Clay Stone Demon and 256 Skeleton Knights appeared around him. He also activated the LV9 “Attack Aura” right away, adding +50 to his summons’ attack power.
[Skeleton Knight LV9]: Physical Damage 154, Physical Defense 62, Health 830, Skill: Charge.
[Claystone Demon LV9]: Physical Damage 69, Physical Defense 47, Health 2060, Skill: Delayed Deceleration.
The Skeleton Knights were the main cannon fodder; Zi Liyuan needed their Charge skill for its smashing stun effect. Even if the duration was brief, it was a skill that could interrupt.
The Clay Stone Demon, on the other hand, served as a pure meat shield, placed in front of him to block the boss’s single-target skill shots.
Afterward, Zi Liyuan put down his magic wand and pulled out two huge “Gunpowder Rune Sniper Rifles – Model II (Blue)” from his Spatial Backpack, setting them one on each shoulder of the Clay Stone Demon.
[Gunpowder Rune Sniper Rifle – Model II (Blue)]: Physical Damage +1000, Fire Rate 10 rounds/minute, Effective Range 1200 meters, Magazine Capacity 10 rounds, can only use Gunpowder Rune Bullets (Physical Damage +25), -30% Movement Speed when equipped, usable by all classes LV40 and above.]
This was a second-generation sniper rifle that combined Dwarf rune firearm technology with gunpowder firearm technology, evolved from the [Gunpowder Sniper Rifle – Model I (Blue)].
Zi Liyuan almost drove Shen Yurou mad for this thing, finally managing to craft three of them, two of which were now in his possession.
The sniper rifle had a powerful recoil, but that was nothing for Zi Liyuan with his impressive 224 Strength points at the moment. He was entirely capable of wielding one in each hand and firing away. With the target nearby and Spirit enhancing his lock-on, hitting the Necromancer wasn’t a problem—no claim of headshots every time, but certainly hitting the mark.
A single shot from the sniper rifle dealt 1000 Physical Damage, and with his own 224 Strength bonus, the Physical Damage could reach more than 1200. Since the Necromancer’s Physical Defense was only 300, each shot could inflict over 900 damage. This weapon was truly a divine tool for sniping bosses!
Therefore, in this career-change battle, the role of the main damage dealer rightfully fell to Zi Liyuan.
However, the strategy for this boss fight was still based on one principle: attrition.
What could be done? The boss had an area-clearing divine skill—the Corpse Explosion Technique!
As long as they could drain the boss’s mana, that would be the time for Zi Liyuan to dominate the battle.
Don’t be fooled by the boss’s hefty mana pool of 200k; the Corpse Explosion Technique was a huge mana consumer, using 1000 mana per cast and dealing 60% of the total health value as damage with each exploded corpse, classified as a physical attack. The initial explosion range was 2 meters, and with every level increase, the range extended by an additional meter.
With the boss’s skills at LV9, the Corpse Explosion Technique’s range reached a breadth of 10 meters.
It can be said that this skill was a divine tool for clearing out the skeleton cannon fodder; the only downside was that both its damage and mana consumption were fixed values, with only the explosion range increasing with upgrades.
If the boss detonated just two Skeleton Knight corpses, it could clear the area within a 10-meter radius.
Moreover…
The battle started with the boss immediately beginning to summon minions.
Clay Stone Demons, Blood Stone Demons, Iron Stone Demons, and Flame Stone Demons, the four Stone Demon brothers, manifested one after another in front of the boss, followed by a small group totaling 37 regular Skeleton Cannon Fodder.
[Skeleton LV9]: Physical Damage 37, Physical Defense 35, Health 380
These were true cannon fodder skeletons, pale in comparison to the Skeleton Knights summoned by Zi Liyuan.
But as soon as the boss ignited the first spark of explosion, bones flew and powder filled the air. The skeletons, serving as cannon fodder for the Skeleton Tribe, fell by the dozen.
However, when Zi Liyuan pulled the trigger of his sniper rifle and started sniping at the boss, several Bone Shields emerged, floating around the boss and protecting him tightly.
