I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1581: Chapter 1582 Promotion Chapter 1581: Chapter 1582 Promotion “One hundred Purple Crystals,” Song Jian glanced at Zhang Hong and said.

Zhang Hong’s face changed, he stared at the Bone Ring in Song Jian’s hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded, “Okay.”

After the trade was completed, Zhang Hong glanced at the properties of the Bone Ring, revealing a look of relief. The value of this Bone Ring was far greater than the previous ring. If it had been someone else, even two hundred Purple Crystals might not have been enough to seal the deal.

“Thank you,” said Zhang Hong with gratitude.

Song Jian nodded and didn’t mind. To use the Bone Ring for inlaying, he still needed to find a Master Level Forging Master to drill a hole in his equipment. The higher the grade of the equipment, the lower the success rate of drilling, and Song Jian’s current Sword Immortal set–if it was damaged because of the Bone Ring–it would have been a loss not worth the risk.

“This guy really has some assets, one hundred and fifty Purple Crystals, he took them out just like that…” thought Song Jian. It was well known that players above level one hundred had begun to come into contact with Purple Crystals, and the market price for them remained high. Ten million Doomsday Coins for one Purple Crystal was often an offer without a market, and generally, when people obtained Purple Crystals, they used them right away to improve their battle experience. It was rare for someone to have so many saved up.

After the final boss was killed, the two of them smoothly entered the Promotion Temple.

In the empty hall, there was only a God Statue over thirty meters tall standing in the center, shining brightly as if it was alive.

As the two approached the God Statue, they looked up. This God Statue was taller than any Song Jian had seen before, but the face of the Statue was as if covered with a thin veil, indistinct, and even Song Jian’s Demi-God Level senses couldn’t penetrate it.

System: Do you wish to proceed with professional advancement? Each person only has one opportunity to advance their profession.

A system prompt appeared in front of both Song Jian and Zhang Hong. Song Jian looked at Zhang Hong, as he knew little about this dungeon; Zhang Hong, on the other hand, seemed to know more. He wanted to see what choice Zhang Hong would make.

“If the Monk’s advancement is the War Buddha, what does he need those two items filled with the aura of the undead for? Could it be that the top ten unique professions are not the most supreme existence?” Song Jian pondered quietly.

“Advance!” Zhang Hong took a step forward and shouted loudly.

“With an unwavering heart, one becomes the Buddha through battle!” The God Statue started to rumble as the head suddenly moved toward Zhang Hong’s head to press down. Zhang Hong stood motionless, as if entirely unconcerned that the palm might flatten him into a puddle of flesh.

The hand of the God Statue gently touched the top of Zhang Hong’s head, and suddenly a golden light flashed. Zhang Hong shone with a golden radiance as if his entire being, inside and out, was cast in gold.

Song Jian could feel Zhang Hong’s aura beginning to rise continuously. At the same time, Zhang Hong took out a large number of Purple Crystals, placed them in front of himself, and continuously enhanced his battle experience.

Level 115, level 116, …
Zhang Hong’s level kept rising, and the Purple Crystals in front of him were being consumed rapidly.

“So, he’s saved up so many Purple Crystals, intending to break through to the Legendary Realm…” Song Jian realized silently: “But for players, the Legendary Realm doesn’t have any bottleneck. As long as they have enough battle experience, they can level up directly. Why wait until professional advancement to do it?”

A moment later, as Zhang Hong’s presence became even more profound, Song Jian suddenly understood why Zhang Hong was doing this.

“The Power of Law, he wants to break through to the Legendary Realm during professional advancement to obtain a higher grade Power of Law…” Song Jian came to a realization.

It was known that if players broke through to the Legendary Realm solely through battle experience, they would comprehend a random Law. However, this randomness often resulted in very weak Laws, and those with such Laws in the Legendary Realm were the weakest among their peers.

Zhang Hong cast a resentful glance at Song Jian, his level had increased to around 119 levels at 87%, the exact amount of Purple Crystals he had calculated he would need now fell short, incapable of allowing him to immediately advance to the Legendary Realm.

“Song Jian, I still need eighty Purple Crystals to level up, once we’re out, I’ll repay you double, no, triple!” Zhang Hong couldn’t help but say.

“Agreed,” Song Jian nodded, a smile spreading across his face.

If he refused at this moment, it would truly result in a deadly grudge. Song Jian also wanted to see what kind of Power of Law would be comprehended during the breakthrough in a professional level up.

After obtaining enough Purple Crystals, Zhang Hong’s level finally broke through to level 120, and at that moment, his professional promotion also began.

The palm of the statue slowly lifted from above Zhang Hong’s head, and after a moment, a giant golden Buddha Statue appeared before Zhang Hong, muttering words Song Jian couldn’t catch a word of, though Zhang Hong seemed to clearly understand.

In the end, the giant golden Buddha Statue gave a slight smile towards Zhang Hong and brought its hands together with force, a “thunderous” boom sounding out, shaking the entire temple like an earthquake.

After everything had settled, Song Jian looked towards Zhang Hong, whose body still radiated golden light, but his face now bore an expression of pleasant surprise.

Song Jian could feel that Zhang Hong, having leveled up to the Legendary Realm, had at least tripled his strength or more. If Zhang Hong had possessed such power before entering the dungeon, he wouldn’t have been just muddling along the whole way.

Zhang Hong, now advanced to War Buddha, looked at Song Jian with an excited face. He had always been unable to see through Song Jian’s strength, but after advancing to one of the ten unique professions, he could finally sense a trace of Song Jian’s true power.

“You, you’ve leveled up to Demi-God Level already? How, how is this possible, your leveling speed, how can it be so fast…” Zhang Hong said, scarcely able to believe it.

“Is the promotion complete? It’s my turn now, right?” Song Jian said with a smile, taking a step forward. With Zhang Hong’s strength transformed so drastically after his promotion, Song Jian believed that with his own current strength, once he went through his professional level up, he could probably contend with actual deities.

“Wait a moment, Song Jian, this dungeon for leveling up, it was I who discovered it first, and naturally, the items dropped by the BOSS contain what I need for my professional level up,” Zhang Hong said with a smile, taking two items out of his inventory, which were the Bone Ring and the white bone skull he had exchanged with Song Jian.

“Level up!” Zhang Hong shouted loudly, holding the two items.

The two items in his hands suddenly emitted a dazzling light, transforming into two rays of white light that flew into the hands of the Promotion Temple statue and disappeared from sight.

Shortly after, two figures of bald monks appeared in front of Zhang Hong, one looking fierce and surrounded by evil spirits, the other radiating malicious aura with a mountain of corpses beneath his feet, a ferocious sight to behold.

Behind these two bald monks were other character silhouettes; unfortunately, these figures were all black, mere outlines, with no visible details of their professions.

“With two items, I can only choose two advanced professions, one is Ksitigarbha and the other is Fighting War Buddha. Which one should I choose?” Zhang Hong said, hesitating.
