"Swish!"
A dazzling and exhilarating golden light cascaded down as Yi Tianchen successfully leveled up to 32.
At that moment, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, especially Yi Tianchen. In his mind, there was only one command left for attack; he didn't even notice when the BOSS's health had dropped to red. He continued to strike until the BOSS fell.
Glancing at the fallen body of the close-combat assassin, Blood Prison, who could no longer rise, Yi Tianchen felt his legs weaken. Ignoring the foul stench emanating from the corpse, he plopped down right on it, breathing in the air mixed with the smell of decay without a care.
Not far away, Liu Yuhan stared at Yi Tianchen with wide eyes, stunned. The others were equally astonished, their expressions filled with confusion and surprise, clearly shocked by Yi Tianchen's bold move.
Yi Tianchen shrugged helplessly but remained silent.
However, taking advantage of this break, Yi Tianchen was far from idle. While sitting on the corpse of Blood Prison, he propped himself up with his sword in his right hand while his left hand began rummaging through the body for loot.
Soon enough, a cloak was pulled out. Although he couldn't tell what material it was made from, it felt incredibly delicate and soft to the touch; it seemed unlikely to be anything inferior.
Without hesitation, Yi Tianchen cast an Identification Technique. As the white light of the technique gradually faded away, a burst of golden radiance emerged—
Blood Prison's Guardian: Golden Equipment
Defense: 245
Strength: +16
Constitution: +12
Agility: +12
Bonus 1: Increases user's Vitality by 1000 points
Bonus 2: Increases user's physical attack power by 5%
Type: Cloak
Required Level: 40
…
Undeniably, as a level 40 piece of Golden Equipment, the Blood Prison's Guardian boasts impressive attributes. However, due to Hero Does Not Question Origin, Stinky Fish, and Lin Yan not carrying resurrection cards, they had no choice but to return to town to revive. Therefore, the equipment was temporarily entrusted to Liu Yuhan for safekeeping.
Continuing his search, Yi Tianchen soon pulled out a sleek black battle armor. After using the Identification Technique, a burst of silver light emerged---
Jet Black Descent Armor: Silver Equipment
Defense: 185
Strength: +13
Constitution: +10
Bonus 1: Increases user's Vitality by 850 points
Bonus 2: Increases user's defense by 65 points
Type: Heavy Armor - Clothing
Required Level: 35
...
With dual bonuses to Defense and Vitality, this was undoubtedly the best equipment for the Blood Tank Class. After some discussion, the armor was directly assigned to Li Tielong, who followed a high health and high defense path as the studio's primary tank. This equipment would serve him well.
The third piece of equipment contributed by the close-quarters assassin from Blood Prison was a pair of shoes. Still made of dark material, their design was not particularly grand, but their attributes were quite decent after identification---
Night Stalker: Silver Equipment
Defense: 170
Agility: +14
Strength: +10
Bonus 1: Increases user's movement speed by 6%
Bonus 2: Increases user's Agility by 5 points
Type: Heavy Armor - Boots
Required Level: 35
...
The addition of the Speed attribute alone had already elevated it to the pinnacle of excellence. Among the entire team, only two were suitable candidates: Yi Tianchen and Stinky Fish. Therefore, this equipment would remain in the possession of Liu Yuhan for now, to be distributed later when they returned to Maple Village.
After that, only a small pile of gleaming gold coins remained. As Yi Tianchen bent down to pick up the coins one by one, he pushed aside the body of the personal blade guard, Blood Prison. With a snap, a dark token fell from the corpse's grasp.
Yi Tianchen's eyes lit up instantly as he hurriedly picked it up. He had been searching for this item for a while but had never found it; it turned out to be hidden on the body all along. It seemed that developing a habit of checking corpses was not a bad thing after all, and perhaps even quite necessary.
With that, all three pieces of Heimu Ling were collected, and Yi Tianchen and his team had successfully completed their mission. However, what lingered in their minds was a significant mystery.
This Haunted Mansion, its true name was Ruthless Wind Castle. It was built as the tomb for General Lufeng. Yet, despite having cleared the entire Haunted Mansion, Yi Tianchen and his companions found no clues regarding the so-called General Lufeng, let alone his coffin.
The group did not rush to leave but instead discussed this peculiar phenomenon. However, no substantial progress was made after much deliberation.
So…
“Tianchen, I think… this isn’t even part of our mission, so it’s natural we can’t find any clues. Our task is simply to collect the three pieces of Heimu Ling and then claim our Mission Reward from the skeleton at the entrance on the first floor. It's that simple!”
Li Tielong stood nearby, speaking with utmost seriousness. However, Yi Tianchen couldn’t help but shiver slightly, as if he had suddenly grasped something elusive yet indescribable!
“Tianchen, what’s wrong?” Liu Yuhan noticed Yi Tianchen’s change and looked puzzled, while both Mu Wanqing and Far Apart wore expressions of confusion.
Yi Tianchen smiled faintly, shaking his head. Suddenly, a flash of insight struck him like lightning; two previously unrelated concepts were now connected in his mind. His expression grew grave as astonishment filled his gaze.
“Brother Luomu, what’s wrong? Your expression is quite frightening!” Far Apart said in a daze.
Yet, Liu Yuhan smiled slightly, her eyes holding a hint of mystery as she softly asked, “Tianchen, do you already have an answer?”
Yi Tianchen nodded, feeling somewhat helpless as he replied, “Well, it’s just a guess for now; perhaps it’s a bit far-fetched, but it’s the most plausible explanation!”
“Brother Luomu, tell us what your guess is!” urged Far Apart.
Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Yi Tianchen let his gaze linger on the body of the personal blade guard, Blood Prison, for about ten seconds before slowly saying, “Do you all remember that decayed skeleton that gave us our mission when we entered the first floor?”
"Is there a problem with this?" Mu Wanqing asked with curious eyes.
"The problem lies with this skeleton!"
Yi Tianchen's gaze darkened, as if he had discovered the greatest secret of the century. He continued, "Since this is the tomb of General Lufeng, the shocking secret mentioned in the mission must be related to him. And if we think differently, who would hold this shocking secret?"
"Tianchen, I completely don't understand what you're saying!" Li Tielong frowned deeply, looking quite distressed.
Yi Tianchen smiled calmly and laid it all out, saying seriously, "What I mean is that the so-called secret can only be held by one person—the renowned General Lufeng!"
"Ah!"
Liu Yuhan exclaimed in disbelief, "Are you saying that the skeleton that gave us the mission is General Lufeng?"
"Isn't it?"
Yi Tianchen smiled slightly and stood up. "Though it sounds a bit absurd, it's the best explanation. The so-called shocking secret can only be known by the master of this place!"
"Hearing Brother Luomu say that, it really does seem to be the case!" Far Apart also stood up, stroking his chin as he continued, "So what exactly is this so-called shocking secret?"
Yi Tianchen turned around and took out three pieces of Heimu Ling, smiling as he said, "The answer will soon be revealed!"
Dragging Dragon's Roar behind him, Yi Tianchen led the way to the entrance of the third level. As they emerged from the third level, the second level was eerily silent; since no monsters had respawned, it indeed had a grave-like atmosphere.
They quickly passed through the second level without stopping and soon arrived at the first level!
Eagerly standing before the skeleton, Yi Tianchen took out the three pieces of Heimu Ling and chose to submit the mission. An exhilarating prompt rang out---
System Prompt: Your team has successfully completed the mission [The Secret of the Haunted House], earning a total of 8,400,000 experience points and 640 gold coins; you have gained 1,050,000 experience points and 60 gold coins, plus an additional item [Power Ring] ×1!
"There’s equipment!"
Yi Tianchen was filled with surprise as he quickly opened the package. Inside lay a ring that shimmered with a silver luster, quietly presenting itself before him, looking quite exquisite.
Without hesitation, he activated the Identification Technique—
Power Ring: Silver Equipment
Attack: 150
Strength: +13
Constitution: +8
Bonus 1: Increases user's strength by 5 points
Bonus 2: Increases user's physical attack power by 50 points
Type: Ring
Required Level: 30
…
In an instant, Yi Tianchen's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement.
This ring was simply too powerful. With a base attack increase of 150, an additional 18 points in strength, and a further boost of 50 points to attack power, it was undoubtedly excellent equipment for high-output classes.
Without further ado, Yi Tianchen slipped the ring onto his finger, and his attributes surged once more—
ID: Falling Leaves
Level: 32
Class: Mid-Level Hell Swordsman
Attack: 2932-3472
Defense: 971

Magic Points: 650/1560

Looking at his new attributes, Yi Tianchen was filled with surprise!
In addition, Liu Yuhan had successfully leveled up to level 31; Li Tielong, Mu Wanqing, and Far Apart each gained a level as well. Although Hero Does Not Question Origin, Stinky Fish, and Lin Yan were not present, they still received substantial rewards due to being in the same team, far exceeding the 20% experience loss from death.
Just as Yi Tianchen and the others were secretly delighted, the skeleton before them suddenly transformed into a swirl of white smoke. The sudden change caused Yi Tianchen and his companions to quickly step back a few paces, each looking at the scene before them in disbelief.
Soon, the white smoke thickened even more. After swirling around in mid-air for a while, it gradually coalesced into a human form. A voice filled with sorrow echoed---
"After a thousand years of waiting, there is finally an ending. Friends who have come from afar, welcome to Ruthless Wind Castle!"
