Instantly kill the BOSS and obtain three platinum-level equipment pieces.
The main force continued to advance, entering the interior of the Scholar's Library.
A heatwave struck,
making one's mouth dry and tongue parched.
Staying too long might lead to difficulty breathing,
which would be detrimental to combat.
Lin Yuan scanned the area.
There weren't many monsters,
only 12. Oh wait, including the Boss, there were 13 monsters in total.
【Zombie Student】(Third-Tier Elite)
【Level: LV17】
【health points: 250000】
【mana points: 20000】
【attack power: 9000】
【defense: 4000】
【Skill 1 (Flame Breath): Deals 2000 magic damage to a cone area within 3 meters ahead, cooldown 8 seconds】
【Skill 2 (Flames Burning Body): Taking melee damage triggers a flame explosion, dealing 500 magic damage to targets within a 2-meter radius, cooldown 2 seconds】
【Skill 3 (Blazing Shield): Releases a Blazing Shield to protect itself. Every mana point can absorb 10 damage. Immune to control effects while the shield exists】
The twelve Zombie Students were distributed in various corners inside the library.
Under the feet of each one was a one-square-meter stone slab.
The slab was carved with a Flame Mark,
connecting to the central area of the library.
There stood a Flame Cage,
and the Boss was standing inside the Flame Cage.
"We have distinguished guests arriving. Why aren't you greeting them immediately!"
A hoarse voice came from the cage.
The twelve Zombie Students immediately entered combat status.
Every 30 seconds, one Zombie Student would be activated.
In this stage,
the Professionals' team had to face a war of attrition.
This severely tested team cooperation.
Healers and mages needed Mana Control, and melee fighters needed Positioning, etc...
Professionals needed to be fully alert to handle it.
But for Lin Yuan,
none of that was necessary.
"All forces attack!"
A simple command word accomplished what other teams would have needed to rack their brains to solve.
The Cannon Fodder Skeleton Warriors stood at the front,
allowing the Flames Burning Body explosions to hit them,
refusing to retreat even half a step.
The Skeleton Archers were like merciless shooting machines,
killing one Zombie Student in two rounds of attack.
In less than two minutes,
all twelve Zombie Scholars fell to the ground.
[Killed Zombie Student (LV17) *12, experience +12000]
Having lost the suppression of the Flame Marks,
the Flame Cage in mid-air lost its light,
and the Boss dropped to the ground.
【Zombie Scholar】(Third-Tier Elite)
【Level: LV18】
【health points: 300000】
【mana points: 40000】
【attack power: 10000】
【defense: 5000】
【Skill 1 (Flame Nova): Chants for 5 seconds, dealing 20000 magic damage to targets inside the library. Staying on the Flame Mark stone slab grants immunity to this damage, cooldown 1 minute】
【Skill 2 (Flame Cage): Uses flame magic to shape a cage, preventing a target from taking any action, cooldown 20 seconds, Flame Cage health points 50000】
【Skill 3 (Advanced Blazing Shield): Uses flame to condense a shield. Every mana point can absorb 20 damage. Immune to control effects while the shield is active, but self-defense drops to zero】
【Skill 4 (Incarnate Flame): 10 minutes after combat begins, grants immunity to physical damage. Self health points and mana points increase tenfold. Flame Nova cancels chanting and has no cooldown】
[The Zombie Scholar is casting Flame Nova, please dodge immediately]
Lin Yuan focused his gaze. The Boss was charging a powerful skill right where it stood.
"Casting a big move right away, truly lacking Martial Virtue."
Lin Yuan curled his lip.
"Ghost, get him."
If the Zombie Scholar managed to release the skill,
ninety-nine percent of the undead on the field would be blown up.
That wouldn't do.
Ghost received the command,
grabbed at the Boss across the air,
and activated Death Grip.
"Get over here!"
The Zombie Scholar was reading the cast bar when a burst of death energy suddenly appeared,
dragging him in front of Ghost,
interrupting the casting action.
"You hateful undead!"
"You will suffer the wrath of the flames!"
The Zombie Scholar held a Red Staff and struck Ghost's head.
-1246
It was negligible damage.
Ghost grabbed his stick and stabbed.
-5870
Ghost looked at the damage and became even more energized.
This was the highest damage Ghost had ever dealt.
But Lin Yuan was still not satisfied.
He turned to look at A Li.
No words were necessary.
A Li dragged the zhanma sword across the ground, leaving a deep gully.
Frenzied Charge!
Charged Drawing Sword Slash.
He started immediately with a burst skill.
The Zombie Scholar was under Hard Control and couldn't dodge,
only watching the sword light strike its body.
-392350 (Critical Hit)
-324300
The first strike instantly emptied the Boss's health points,
leaving only 1 Health Point remaining.
The Advanced Blazing Shield passively triggered.
The Zombie Scholar became immune to control effects, but its own defense also dropped to zero.
Therefore, even though the second strike wasn't a Critical Hit,
it still dealt a massive 320,000 damage.
Following up with Triple Slash!
-183400
-183580
-184630
The Zombie Scholar's shield had less than 100,000 left.
A Li leveled the zhanma sword.
Sweep!
-124600
The shield shattered.
Under the Zombie Scholar's horrified gaze,
A Li's expression was calm,
like an executioner.
A Death Sentence Sword Qi took away the Boss's final 1 Health Point.
-30000
A Li sheathed the zhanma sword behind his back, turned confidently,
and hid his achievements and fame.
[Killed Zombie Scholar (LV18), experience +20000]
Along with the kill notification, the Zombie Scholar's body fell heavily to the ground.
This time, Lin Yuan didn't even need to descend.
Sun Xu had already gathered all the loot dropped by the Boss and brought it before Lin Yuan.
The Zombie Scholar dropped three pieces of platinum equipment.
The Zombie Students dropped four pieces of gold equipment.
Adding the two pieces of gold equipment dropped by the Flame Walkers earlier,
this trip to the Scholar's Library yielded a total of six pieces of gold equipment and three pieces of platinum equipment.
It was a great harvest.

Swapping in the platinum equipment,
Lin Yuan only had his helmet, shoulder guards, pants, chest armor, and shoes remaining as gold quality,
Everything else was platinum grade.
