Chapter 245: Harvest from Breaking the Curse

Chapter 245: The Harvest of Breaking the Curse

Dragon Flame Breath!

A scorching blaze erupted from Li Wei's mouth.

The violent flames seared the body of the gray skeleton monster.

The gray bones turned to ash under the dragon fire.

Clatter!

The gray skeleton monster's body scattered everywhere, leaving behind charred remnants.

The Dragon Flame Breath ended.

Li Wei felt a wave of emptiness wash over him, his strength severely depleted.

Clack clack clack!

The skeleton's jaw opened and closed with a noisy rattle.

The bones scattered on the ground, drawn by the soul fire, gradually converged toward the skull.

Li Wei took out the Explosive Staff and smashed it fiercely onto the skull.

Boom!

The skull sank into the mud, and the restless bone fragments around it settled into peace.

Lifting the Explosive Staff, he found the soul flame within the skull had not yet extinguished.

Li Wei kept smashing until the skull was crushed and the soul flame was stamped out.

Only then did the tier-four gray skeleton monster finally die.

He felt the magical elements around him become active once more.

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Putting away the Explosive Staff, he kicked away half a skull with one foot.

"Cannot underestimate any enemy; I thought a tier-four skeleton monster could be solved with one charged fireball."

"I didn't expect it to be so troublesome."

Checking the Invisible Armor, twenty-nine layers remained.

The tier-four skeleton monster had shattered six layers of Invisible Armor.

Rustle rustle rustle!

The surrounding skeletons began to surround Li Wei one after another.

He hastily cast the Repelling Fire Ring spell, keeping the skeletons at bay.

Then he absorbed the energy within the Fire Spirit Bead Necklace to restore his strength.

Feeling the power within his body gradually return, the emptiness and fragility in Li Wei's heart slowly vanished.

"Though the Dragon Flame Breath is powerful, using it is practically life-threatening."

The dragon fire spewed by the Dragon Flame Breath was the fire element spirit composing Li Wei's fire element body.

After spewing it, Li Wei's fire element body was affected, becoming weak.

Moreover, before his strength recovered, he could not elementize.

Fortunately, he successfully dealt with the tier-four gray skeleton.

After absorbing energy from the Fire Spirit Bead Necklace to restore strength.

After Li Wei threw a few fireballs, blasting over a patch of skeletons, and killing several tier-one skeleton monsters.

All five practical course tasks were completed.

The Curse of the Ring of Greed lingering outside his body shattered.

The Ring of Greed was sucked into his body, and a message appeared in Li Wei's mind.

"Advancement ritual effects doubled within twenty-four hours."

Li Wei showed a look of surprise.

He had not expected that breaking the Ring of Greed could actually yield benefits.

The next second, Li Wei discovered the Greed Curse, which limited him to breaking through to tier three within ten days, had become stronger.

The remaining time remained unchanged.

However, after the time ended, his mana would decay rapidly.

If before there was still a chance to salvage things, now with the curse erupting, it was beyond recall.

"Is this actually a good thing or a bad thing?"

Li Wei could not distinguish clearly for a moment.

After a little thought, he figured out one thing.

Breaking the Seven Rings Curse would yield benefits related to the curse.

But it might also cause the original curse to intensify.

"Perhaps because I already possess a Ring of Greed, so after breaking the curse, I gained the benefit of accelerated awakening."

"Is this using a curse to fight a curse?"

"Then, if I can break the curse of the Ring of Pride, what benefit will I gain?"

Li Wei could not help but ponder in his heart.

"The effect of accelerated awakening lasts only twenty-four hours; I must seize the time."

Li Wei turned and walked toward the secret realm exit.

Though credit points were good, he now had more important things to do.

Seeing Li Wei return safe and sound, Sean breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He had witnessed the great explosion deep within the skeleton sea earlier, and his assessment of Li Wei's strength rose by one level.

Li Wei found Sean, indicating he had completed the practical course tasks and wanted to exit the secret realm.

Sean said, "Do not rush; even if you complete the course tasks, you can earn some more credit points; the more credit points, the better."

"The secret realm teleportation gate cannot be opened casually; only when the course tasks end can you leave."

Li Wei felt helpless and returned to the crowd.

"When the course tasks end, who knows how long that will take?"

He glanced at the people around him.

Could it be he must wait for all these people to complete the practical course tasks?

Li Wei thought about it, feeling the focus should not lie here.

The focus lies on the purpose of the practical course, which is to clear skeleton monsters and reduce the number of undead.

Now, the objective not yet attained, Sean naturally would not depart.

Levi thought for a moment, preparing to cast a third-tier Firewall spell to accelerate the clearing of the skeleton monsters.

Just then, someone approached him.

"Mage Levi, could you do me a favor?"

Levi looked at him in surprise, "We are not acquainted, are we?"

That person hurriedly said, "I can pay remuneration, just help me earn enough credits."

Levi's heart moved, somewhat inclined.

That person said, "My name is Baraha, you help me earn credits, for each credit I give you one hundred gold coins."

The market price in the Element Tower, one credit equals one hundred gold coins.

Levi did not speak, pondering how to help earn credits.

Baraha thought he was unwilling, hurriedly saying, "Then I will add ten gold coins per credit!"

Levi heard this, nodded and said, "Deal."

"How many credits do you need?" Levi asked.

Baraha hurriedly said, "I have already completed the first two tasks, earned four credits, if I can earn six more credits, even if I fail all theoretical course exams this year, it will be fine."

"Mm, I understand, six credits, right?"

Levi calculated briefly, that meant killing 24 second-tier skeleton monsters, or 12 third-tier skeleton monsters.

The difficulty was not great.

The number of skeleton monsters here should be enough.

Levi said, "Follow me."

With one hand, he used Repelling Fire Ring to push away all the surrounding skeleton monsters.

Walking towards the depths of the skeleton sea.

Baraha hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly followed in his footsteps.

"Scorched Earth!"

The ground beneath Levi's feet burst into flames, turning into scorched earth.

Baraha stood in place, not daring to move a muscle.

Fearing Levi's spell would go out of control and hurt him.

Surrounding zero-tier and first-tier skeleton monsters fell in sheets.

Levi's eyes narrowed, seeing a skeleton monster that hadn't died, he knew it was a second-tier skeleton monster.

"Telekinesis!"

A huge Mage Hand grabbed the second-tier skeleton monster, crushed it, and threw it before Baraha.

"Do it."

Baraha hurriedly cast a spell to destroy the second-tier skeleton monster's soul fire.

The magic badge vibrated, receiving 0.25 credits.

Joy appeared on Baraha's face.

He glanced at Levi, feeling that asking him for help was indeed correct!

One by one, second-tier skeleton monsters were beaten half-crippled, flew before Baraha, turning into credits within the magic badge.

Baraha's face beamed with delight, wishing there were more and more.

"The twenty-fourth one, six credits have already been gathered."

Levi stopped his actions, looking at Baraha.

Baraha hurriedly took out a small bag containing money and gave it to Levi.

"Here are six hundred and sixty gold coins, thank you, Mage Levi."

Levi put away the money bag, asked with a smile, "Do you want more?"

Baraha hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, I want more."

He thought about earning more credits, striving to advance a class in this year's grand exam, then he could ask his father for a progress reward.

At least a few thousand gold coins as encouragement.

Perhaps he could even exchange for a new set of magic equipment.
