In the world of Divine Oracle, every time a player used an ultimate skill, they gained 1 point of proficiency.
Once proficiency reached the requirement, the ultimate skill would automatically level up.
But every class's ultimate skill had a fixed 60-second cooldown.
Some players had calculated it before: even if you used it once every minute, 60 times an hour, 1440 times a day, and kept grinding proficiency nonstop, upgrading an E-rank ultimate skill to max-level SSS-rank would still take at least ten years.
Besides that, there was another fast way to level up ultimate skills, which was through the magic scroll [Practice Makes Perfect] that directly increased ultimate skill proficiency.
Of course, this was a playstyle exclusive to whales.
Ordinary players simply couldn't afford it.
Because even the lowest-level E-rank [Practice Makes Perfect] scroll was worth half a year's salary for an average person.
Ning Xi used all 2048 E-rank, 422 D-rank, and 113 C-rank Practice Makes Perfect scrolls.
Immediately, her ultimate skill proficiency increased.
[Ding~ Congratulations, your ultimate skill Blizzard has upgraded from D-rank to C-rank!]
[Ding~ Congratulations, your ultimate skill Blizzard has upgraded from C-rank to B-rank!]
[Ding~ Congratulations, your ultimate skill has upgraded to SSS-rank World Destroyer · Frozen Heaven and Earth!]
Looking at Ning Xi after the skill upgrade was completed, Lin Mo said, "Come, try it out. Max-level ultimate skill."
"Mhm!"
Ning Xi nodded.
She entered attack range ahead and locked onto a nearby group of Evil Ghosts.
Her small hand lightly raised the Heaven Defying Magic Staff.
SSS-rank World Destroyer · Frozen Heaven and Earth!
At the instant the spell was cast...
Buzz!
The temperature across a huge area ahead suddenly dropped to freezing.
Frost formed across the ground, freezing the lower halves of dozens of Evil Ghosts trapped inside.
At the same time, countless ice spikes poured down from the sky like a violent storm.
Crash! Crash!
The Evil Ghosts frozen in place and unable to move were swallowed by the ice and snow.
-323548!
-324316!
-322986!
In a moment, dozens of Evil Ghosts were completely wiped out.
The Elemental Mage SSS-rank ultimate skill World Destroyer · Frozen Heaven and Earth normally dealt three hits of 400% magic attack damage.
But in Ning Xi's hands, after the tenfold enhancement from the SSS-rank talent Supreme Sovereign, each hit could unleash damage equal to 4000% attack power.
Three full hits totaled a 12000% multiplier. Equivalent to 120 times attack power damage.
At this moment, even Lin Mo, whom other players called a "cheat monster," couldn't help saying two words in shock, "Ridiculous!"
And besides this SSS-rank ultimate skill, Ning Xi's other A-rank single-target skills like Fireball, Ice Spike, and Gale Spell could all now deal over 250k+ damage, enough to instantly kill Evil Ghosts in one hit.
Compared to before, when three A-rank skills together couldn't even take away half an Evil Ghost's HP, this Tier 5 orange weapon Heaven Defying Magic Staff had pushed Ning Xi's strength up by far more than one level.
The clearance requirement for the Fifth Hall was the same as before.
Kill monsters inside the hall to increase the progress bar.
Once the progress bar reached 100%, the Fifth Hall would be cleared, and the Sixth Hall would open at the same time.
So next, with the overwhelming teamwork of the two of them, the Evil Ghosts inside the Hall of King Yama practically met complete disaster.
The progress bar on the challenge panel also rose at an extreme speed visible to the naked eye.
While hunting Evil Ghosts, Lin Mo also began planning the next steps.
"After we finish eating later, we'll clear the Yama Hall first and see what rewards are hidden in the Sixth Hall and the Tenth Hall."
"Once we clear the entire Yama Hall and defeat the bosses of the Sixth Hall and Tenth Hall to get the rewards, the next step will be entering the Divine Tomb and attacking the Dark Underground City."
The rare hidden dungeon Divine Tomb was for obtaining [Divine Descent · Seraph], while also seeing whether he could find the bloodline of the Progenitor royal family to remove Zhao Ling'er's talent seal.
As for the Dark Underground City, it was the location for Ah Li's second-stage growth mission to evolve from Elite-grade to Rare-grade.
The former required five people to reach Silver rank, "Although Ning Xi and I are already Silver rank and meet the entry requirement for the Divine Tomb."
"Unfortunately, even though Ling Xiao, Qin Feng, Xia Wanwan, and the others are already among the top players on Inferno City's rank leaderboard, they only just reached Bronze Rank 1."
"For them to reach Silver rank will probably still take several more days."
Lin Mo muttered, "If only there were high-level Rank Boost Scrolls to help, then we could enter the Divine Tomb dungeon sooner and get Divine Descent · Seraph earlier."
D-rank Rank Boosts could temporarily raise Bronze ranks.
The settings were the same as E-rank Rank Boosts.
Each scroll temporarily raised one minor rank, and up to three could be stacked at once.
Which meant: if they had D-rank Rank Boost Scrolls, Ling Xiao and the others would only need to raise their rank to Bronze Rank 3 before using the scrolls to skip Bronze Rank 4 and Bronze Rank 5, temporarily breaking through into Silver Rank 1.
That alone would save a full three days.
Allowing Lin Mo to enter the Divine Tomb dungeon with Ling Xiao's team three days earlier.
Unfortunately, even the Silver Points Shop had only just unlocked exchanges for E-rank Rank Scrolls.
At the current stage, D-rank Rank Scrolls were far too rare.
Just as Lin Mo finished speaking, Ning Xi, who had just used Dragon Command Spell to blast an Evil Ghost to death, suddenly turned to Lin Mo and said, "Brother Lin Mo, should I ask Xiao Fei if he has a way to get that scroll?"
Lin Mo had almost forgotten about Ning Fei, the internet genius who could supposedly uncover someone's entire identity from just a name.
Inferno City's territory was huge.
Lin Mo couldn't remember exactly where D-rank Rank Scrolls could be obtained.
Maybe Ning Fei could look it up.
So Lin Mo immediately sent Ning Fei a WeChat message, ["Xiao Fei, are you free? Can you help me check something?"]
["Inside Inferno City, is there any place where D-rank Rank Scrolls can be obtained?"]
Not long after, Ning Fei replied, ["Yes, brother-in-law! There is!"]
["Level 70 dungeon Blood Temple;"]
["Level 74 map Silent Manor;"]
["Level 77 map Nightmare Town; all these places can reward D-rank Rank Scrolls if you're strong enough."]
["But these places all have pretty high rank requirements. With your current rank, brother-in-law, you still can't enter them, so I picked the most suitable place based on your current rank."]
The speed of Ning Fei's reply made Lin Mo feel like he was talking to AI...
["The Yama Hall map you and my sister are clearing right now, the first kill of the Sixth Hall boss is guaranteed to drop a large number of high-level Rank Scrolls, minimum D-rank."]
Lin Mo directly sent a "?"
["You hacked all the Divine Oracle bosses too?"]
["How do you know the Sixth Hall boss is guaranteed to drop scrolls when even the official side hasn't announced it?"]
["Simple!"], Ning Fei kept typing, ["I just hacked into Divine Oracle's official website."]
["But I can only see some basic data that the officials haven't publicly released yet. If you want me to cheat items into the game for you, then I can't do that."]
Lin Mo couldn't help sighing beneath.
'A genius.'
'If this isn't genius, then what is?'
This way, there was no need to specifically waste time and energy farming scrolls.
As long as Lin Mo followed his original plan and cleared the Sixth Hall of the Yama Hall, he could get the D-rank Rank Scrolls he wanted.
At once, Lin Mo's desire to speed-clear the Yama Hall became even stronger.
Seeing how incredible Ning Fei's internet skills were, Lin Mo suddenly thought of something.
Then he asked Ning Fei, ["Xiao Fei, can you help me look up another person based on a name?"]
["OK!"], Ning Fei replied, ["What's their name? Brother-in-law, just give me the name, and I'll even find out what diaper brand they wore as a kid and at what age they stopped drinking milk."]
Lin Mo said, ["President of the Ling Group in the capital, Ling Xue."]
