Chapter 172: Divine Physique! Dungeon Discontinued? (Three in One, 3/5)_4
The second golden Skill Book was different. It was a Skill Book that increased casting speed, capable of eliminating the pre-cast animation of any Skill, making it instantly cast.
This kind of Skill Book is exceptionally powerful for the Mage profession or any profession with long pre-cast animations.
Indeed, it could even be described as game-changing.
Especially for the Mage profession, many forbidden curses are incredibly powerful, equivalent to a nuclear bomb when unleashed!
However, the casting time for these forbidden curses is generally not short.
If such an instant-cast golden Skill were paired with them, it would be truly terrifying.
If used during a sneak attack on an enemy's main base, it would be utterly devastating.
However, to prevent such incidents, Anti-Forbidden Curse Formations are established within safe zones.
These can forcibly counteract a forbidden curse once detected.
But deploying this type of Array requires an enormous amount of materials, so it cannot be set up just anywhere.
Typically, they are deployed within safe zones to prevent Aliens from launching sneak attacks on bases.
Even though all the Skills Chen Mo currently possessed were instant-cast, he couldn't guarantee that future Skills wouldn't require casting time, so it was necessary to have this particular Skill prepared.
Nevertheless, he wasn't in a rush and decided to look at the third Skill Book first.
[Extreme Calmness·Gold]: All Cooldown times reduce by 90%!
Just a dozen or so simple words, yet they revealed an incredibly powerful effect.
A universal ability is different from a dungeon-exclusive one.
Dungeon-exclusive abilities are usually granted more leeway by the Heavenly Dao because they only take effect within the dungeon.
However, the Heavenly Dao imposes strict restrictions on universal abilities.
Even though the Cooldown reduction hadn't reached 99%, 90% was still incredibly potent.
However, only the single highest active Cooldown reduction effect would apply at any given time.
If Chen Mo acquired this, the Calm Gemstone he had previously obtained would become useless.
After carefully considering the respective benefits of instant-casting and rapid Cooldown for himself, Chen Mo finally chose Extreme Calmness.
"You only have one chance. Once you choose, don't regret it," the Guider reminded him with a smile, seeing Chen Mo was about to take Extreme Calmness.
"You're going to make my indecisiveness flare up," Chen Mo said with a wry smile.
Despite this, he decisively took the Extreme Calmness·Gold Skill Book.
"By the way, when I first entered the trial, a prompt said that only one person could receive the highest reward. Now that I've cleared this trial, what will happen to this trial ground?"
"Since you've taken all the rewards, this trial ground will naturally become void."
"Void? What about the people still participating in the trial?"
"They will all be kicked out directly."
This is getting out of hand!
This is bad, Chen Mo thought. Doesn't this mean nearly one hundred thousand candidates nationwide will be kicked out all at once? Everyone will probably be completely bewildered.
He immediately began to consider how he would explain this later.
「At this moment, inside the instance」
All the candidates received a Hint from the Heavenly Dao.
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: Attention, please pay attention! The current instance has been abolished. All participants will be teleported out in 30 seconds. Please prepare!]
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: Attention, please...]
The Heavenly Path's Hint sounded three times consecutively, leaving everyone inside the instance utterly dumbfounded.
「Meanwhile, the people outside were even more dumbfounded」
Because the floor numbers for all participating personnel had instantly turned to 0.
When Chen Mo was on the fiftieth floor, discussions had already been raging in the outside world.
They were also very curious about what would happen if Chen Mo cleared all fifty floors.
But after seeing Chen Mo reach the fiftieth floor and then a long silence with no further updates, they couldn't help but start to wonder. Is there actually nothing on the fiftieth floor? Did Chen Mo just go down there to mess around? Are we just waiting for the assessment time for the other candidates to end now?
Just as everyone was buzzing with discussion, they suddenly discovered that the floor numbers of all candidates had changed to 0.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"Why did everyone's floor number turn to 0? What on earth happened?"
