"Level ten!" Lu Ran's eyes lit up.
He was quite satisfied with this leveling speed.
Casually picking up the equipment dropped by the Frost Wolf King BOSS, he glanced over it. Among them, a piece of rare purple gear was shoes for the magic series, something he could use, so Lu Ran immediately equipped them.
The rest wasn't particularly special, so he just stored it in his backpack.
Then, he couldn't wait to open the skills panel.
Back in school, he had learned some skills from various professions, so he knew very well that the skill unlocked at level ten was [Undead Touch].
[Skill: Undead Touch]
[Cooldown: 2 minutes]
[Cost: 10 Mana]
[Effect: Summon Undead Touch within a ten-meter range, binding enemy units for 3 seconds!]
It's the first control skill for the undead mage.
For magic series professions, control skills are particularly important as they provide more output time and prevent enemy units from getting close.
Three seconds of binding time isn't long, but it's not short either.
But for Lu Ran, he immediately realized how terrifying it was.
He had no cooldown on skills!
As long as his mana value was sufficient, he could cast continuously, stacking and extending the binding time within a ten-meter range.
In this way, all enemy units in his presence would just have to take hits on the spot!
As long as Lu Ran didn't run out of mana, the opponents would be standing idly!
"Good stuff!" Lu Ran excitedly licked his lips.
Then he looked at the Golden Entry panel again.
A golden entry unlocked at level five, counting the primary Celestial Master's Borrowing Skill, meant this was the third one.
[Entry: Sea of All Rivers]
[Effect: From the day this entry is unlocked, every time an enemy unit is killed, the casting range of all skills increases by one meter, with no upper limit]
Oh?
Lu Ran was momentarily stunned but quickly gathered his thoughts.
"Kill one monster, and the skill range increases by a meter?" Lu Ran pondered aloud.
Currently, the summoning range of skeleton soldiers is 10 meters, meaning he can only summon them within a ten-meter range around himself.
At first glance, the Sea of All Rivers entry doesn't seem particularly useful, just allowing him to toss skeleton soldiers further away.
But it's important to note that this entry targets all skills!
Reaching a high level, who wouldn't kill a million monsters?
For Lu Ran, a million monsters would mean a million meters!
That's a thousand kilometers!
In later stages, Lu Ran could summon the Skeleton Tyrant and Abyss Bone Dragon!
He could even toss bone dragons at a city hundreds of kilometers away without anyone knowing it was him!
Meanwhile, Lu Ran would also unlock the attack series skills for the undead mage.
That would really be taking heads from thousands of miles away!
Even now, Lu Ran can expand the casting range of skills to several hundred meters with just a few dungeon runs.
In just one day of grinding, the casting range could reach several kilometers!
At this stage, he can completely cover the entire dungeon with all his skills!
Thinking of this, Lu Ran was incredibly excited. The more he thought about it, the more thrilled he became. Originally planning to head home for dinner, he couldn't help but run the Frost Wolf Valley again.
Because he was entirely testing the effect of the entries, Lu Ran wasn't in a hurry to tackle the level ten dungeon, intending to save it for tomorrow.
It was still the difficult mode of Frost Wolf Valley.
He charged all the way to the final BOSS, the Frost Wolf King's arena.
Lu Ran cast an Undead Touch, and several black tentacles immediately emerged from beneath the Frost Wolf King, tangling its limbs.
This also triggered the BOSS battle, with the bound Frost Wolf King howling at Lu Ran but unable to break free.
The binding time was only three seconds.
Lu Ran timed it, casting one Undead Touch after another.
Just as he imagined!
The Frost Wolf King was stuck in place, and Undead Touch continually extended the three-second constraint time.
He played with it for a full two minutes.
The poor Frost Wolf King could only howl in place, completely unable to move or attack Lu Ran.
"From now on, it will be much safer to farm BOSSes." Lu Ran nodded in satisfaction.
Then, while continuing Undead Touch, he controlled the skeleton soldiers to swarm in with corpse explosions, easily and effortlessly defeating the Frost Wolf King!
Meanwhile, within the difficult mode of the Frost Wolf Valley dungeon, there were three hundred ordinary Frost Wolves across three areas, plus three elite Frost Wolves and one Frost Wolf King BOSS, totaling three hundred and four enemy units.
Lu Ran's skill casting range increased by another three hundred and four meters!
Lu Ran can now easily toss the skeleton soldiers three hundred meters away!
He can also bind a person's actions at a distance of three hundred meters indefinitely, and even if the opponent is a long-range attack profession, they wouldn't be able to reach Lu Ran, only standing idly and waiting to be hit by a corpse explosion!
"If I encountered those three assassins now, it would be much easier." Lu Ran mused aloud.
After all, Undead Touch itself is a range control.
Even with only a ten-meter range, it's enough to make those three agile assassins wait for death on the spot, unable to fly away!
Having completed this run and verified the effects of the entries and skills, Lu Ran was thoroughly satisfied.
He left the dungeon, threw all the equipment he had acquired into the marketplace, and then went to grab a meal.
It's worth mentioning that the equipment from the Rift Dungeon and the gear Lu Ran obtained from Frost Wolf Valley sold like hotcakes.
Lu Ran had priced them low, so they sold quickly.
Plus, with the money looted from the three assassins, Lu Ran now had a total of 220,000 Gold Coins!
Who would have thought that just before he awakened his profession yesterday, Lu Ran only had a few hundred Gold Coins jingling in his pocket!
He could now easily afford low-level top-tier equipment, but it wasn't worth it; that's pure waste of money.
With a fast leveling speed, equipment updates quickly, and the benefits for Lu Ran were quite limited.
Only at higher levels do the additional attributes of top-tier equipment bring a qualitative leap in Lu Ran's combat power!
After eating, Lu Ran returned home but found himself unable to sleep.
He lay on the wooden bed he had been accustomed to for ten years in the rented room, feeling a mix of emotions.
The undead mage itself was quite normal, quite ordinary.
But the additions from the entry system were at a terrifying level!
He was only level ten and had only three entries, counting the initial one.
But just based on these three entries, Lu Ran could crush any hidden profession in the world!
Let alone that he would unlock more entries in the future.
While he was contemplating this.
Knock knock knock~
He heard a series of tapping sounds.
Lu Ran glanced at the door, then realized the tapping was coming from the window.
Startled, Lu Ran moved closer and realized it was Qin Wuyao outside the window.
"Miss Qin, what are you doing here in the dark?" Lu Ran said speechlessly.
"Hehe, came to hang out with you." Qin Wuyao chuckled.
"It's late at night, with just us, what can we do?" Lu Ran glanced at Qin Wuyao's gradually developing figure, muttering.
"It's not that late; it's just barely nightfall." Qin Wuyao pouted.
Then she climbed through the window by herself.
Looking around, she said, "This place you're staying in isn't even as big as my bathroom."
Lu Ran couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Laughing and crying, he said, "Miss, you didn't come all this way just to put me down, did you?"
Qin Wuyao quickly waved her hand and said, "Of course not, I just wanted to ask if you'd like to serve the country?"
